pay for having given testimony that the
Secretary did not like.
Mr. Hale maintained the necessity for
discriminating in the grades, and denied

Lx Senator Mitchell said that the ques

Brady some pretty sharp telegrams on tho

Brady in connection with tho mail service
in his State. He had a general theory as

ern mail routes were concerned. He had
often expressed his belief, both in tho Sen-
ato and to Brady, that in his judgment
every town and mining camp in the West
should have mail facilities equal to towns
in New York. There was no more reason
for expecting each service to be self-sus
taining than for the expectation that the
army and navy should bo eelf-eustuiuing.
His business with the department bad al
most invariably been done through Brady,
and he believed that be had usually been

The oommittee recommend concurrence

no special objection to that action. He
had no objection to those ships being
subjected to a hundred lioards, such was
his confidence in them. He concurred more
readily in this amendment because lie waa
anxious to strip the bill, so far as he was
concerned, of i*nonsl considerations and
of all idea that he had any 'pride of opin

House or el*ca here any proposition which
was not ascertained to be for the real, sub

relating to items of appropriation were

Mr. Williams, of Wisconsin, chairman of

ted a report on the Obili-Pera investiga

report was signed by all the members of
the oommittee who were present, and
among whom were Belmont and Blount.
It refers to the papers missing from the
files of the State Department as unimport
ant, but suggests that greater care should
appro- be exercised in keeping the files

nothing was adduced in the testimony to
implicate any foreign minister or official

Mr. Andereon, of Kansas, offered a
luticn providing for the final adjournment
of Congress at 12 o’clock on Friday, August
4, 18*2. A noisy discussion aro e upon

journment before the revenue tax bill has
been acted upon, but the motion to refer
was ad pted—yeas UJ, navi 97.
A message was received from the Presi

Thus as a bill becomes more objectionable
it secures more support. This reau't in
variable and necessarily follows the neg-
lect to observe the constitutional limita
tions impoivd upon the law-making
owers. Tho appropriations for river and
arbor improvements have, under the in-
floencej to which I have allud. J, incrcaved

y tho present act there is appropriat V.tlH,-

leavo io tho legislature tho responsibility
of determining what amount should bo ap
propriated for the purposes of tho bill, so
long as appropriations are confined to tho
objects indicated by tho grant o! power, 1
cannot e«capo the conclusion thAt as a
part of the law-making power of the gov
ernment, it devolves upon me to withhold
my signature from a bill containing ap
propriations which, in my opinion, greatly
exceed in amount tho needs of tho country
for tho present fiscal yoar. It being the
usage to provide money for these purposes
by annual appropriation bills, the Presi
dent i», in flfi-’t, directed to expend
large an amoant of money within so brief
a period that the expenditure cannot be
made economically nnd advantage ;usly.
Extravagant expenditure of tho public
money is an evil not to be measured by tho
valaa of that money to the people wh > are
taxed for it. They sustain a grenter injury

gency of the ease he urged that the bill be
reported bock, either f svorably or unfa
vorably, not later than to-morrow. The

Pabi*, July 30.—President Orevy today
bad a conference with the presidents of the
Heunte and Chamber of Deputies. The
newspapers here consider that the voto by
which the bill granting an Egyptian credit
credit was rejected in the Chamber of Dep
uties yesterday more clearly shows a coali
tion of tho enemies of tlio cabinet than any
precise indication of opinion io flm Cham
ber on foreign politic*. Tho composite
nature of the majority voto is shown by
tbo fact that thi credit was rejected after
speeches had boon rondo by demonceau
nnd Demsrcere, who are political op]
neats. The Gambcttiat journals aJv
President Qrery to snmmon M. Boyason,
president of the Chamber of Deputies, to
form a new cabinet. It in doubtful, how
ever, whether Beys-on would nccept snob a
charge. The crisis ia likely to last e-ver&l
