the Establish
ment, Etc.
The passage of tho League UlnnA ly the
Senate seals the late of the old Navy Yard,
which haa hoon one of the institutions of our
ity lor so many yonre, inasmuch as it con
tains a provision to the elT-.ft "that if League
IsUoid lw selcotoil, the Navy Yard at Philadel
phia shall he dirqinsod w ith and disposed of
y the United States as soon as the puhlie wn
Tenienee will adsnit."
"1'uhlic eonvonieimty' it is irv is a vry
kidefinite tenn, and some yarc will pvolmMy
fthipse heforo the limitation is determined. But
as Boon as the new establishment is wll under
way, there will he no further convenienee or
necessity for the (Jovernment to keep up the
Id one. In this connection the old Yard, its
antecedents, and its present arrangements,
possess more than ordinary interest to our
citizens.
The Frcaent Xvy Yard
extends from Front s-treet to the Delaware
Tiver, and from Triine stre-t to within a ' short
distance of Reed street. Its width, including
the addition recently made on the south sid'i,
Jfl 700 feet. The greatest length is 1700 feet,
the shortest heing hut 13(H) feet. Within the
nclosnre there are about thirty buildings of
all fi?.es. Tho two most prominent oif-s are
the largo yellow ship-houses, which present
anch an imposing appearance upon the river
front. The larger of these is 320 feet in
length by 100 feet in width, the smaller being
50 by 80 feet. Four of the buildings are
tommodious dwelling-houses, facing i Front
Street, and occupied as residences by the Com
mandant and other prominent officials. Tho
wilding occupied as the headquarters of the
yard, and standing just within the walls, to
the right of the main entrance, is likewise neat
in appearance, as well as large enough to meet,
all requirements. The other buildings, con
sisting of . the offices of the heads .of depart
ments, tho machine and work shops, and the
storehouses, were erectod with a view to dura
bility rather than architectural effect.

SPECIAL ISTATCHE9 TO EV1N1NO TELEGRAPH. J
Warhinoton, February 16.
The Midnight Bctiloa of the Senate.
The Republican Senators had determined to
remain in session last nisht until a vote could
be bad on the Military Government bill, but it
was zealously opposed by the Democrats, and
severnl .Republicans were determined Unit
the Dlaine amendment Bboula, if possible, be
added.
Mr. Henderson, at about 1 o'clock, moved an
nmeDdment to the ltlalne amendment, which
was agreed to as follows: Strike out the words
"All male citizens of the United Slates twenty
one years old and upwards, without regard to
laoe or color, or previous condition of servitude,
except such ns may be disfranchised for parti
cipating in the late Rebellion or for felony at
common law," and insert in lieu theroofthe
following: "All male citizens of the United
.Slates, of whatever color, race, or condition,
twi nty. one years of age and upwards, who may
have been residents of the State for twelve
months previous to the eleotlon, except such as
may be disqualified by rebellion, felony at com
mon law, or Insanity."
Air. t'relingtiuysen moved an amendment,
which was agreed to, providing that the Con
stitution of the States be framed by a Conven
tion of delegates elected by the persons who
may vote upon the abrogation or rejection of
tile Constitution as hereinafter provided.
Mr. Huraner, late In the night, moved to
amend by providing that the pending Constitu
tional amendment shall be valid when ratified
by three-fourths of the Legislatures of the States
now represented in Congress. This, after much
discussion, was voted down.
Mr. Henderson, about 3 o'clock, oflered an
amendment containing the leading features of
Hie Louisiana bill, and as it was evident that
no action could be bad, the Senate adjourned
at twenty minutes past 3 o'clock.
How the Senators Reached Home.
The horse-cars bad stopped running at mid
night, and the Senators, after a thirteen hours'
session in a heated and badly ventilated ball,
bad to walk to their homes, generally speak
ing, over a mile from the Capitol, in a rain
storm, at 4 o'clock.
Tlic Republican Retnrn Bright and
Early to the Caucus.
Nearly all of the Republican Senators were
back at the Capitol to attend the caucus called
last night. Many of them look Jaded and ex
hausted, while the oiticers of the Senate are
snoozing in chairs, and the little pages are
sleeping quietly in ooruers. These niszat ses
sions never bave any good result, and are In
jurious to the health of all kept np by them.
The caucus of Republican Senators this morn
ing debated for an hour and a half a proposition
made by Mr. Wilson, that the Louisiana bill be
substituted for the Military Government bill.
It was finally decided to refer tne two bills and
the Blaine amendment to a Committee of Sena
tors, who are to consolidate them into a new
bill, while the Democrats are talking. This
new bill is then to be offered as a substitute for
that now before the Senate, and there is not to
be any adjournment until It shall have been
passed.
Rumors of Compromise with the Pre
sident. There has been quite a flurry In the House
to-day over a resolution introduced by Mr. Wen t
worth Instructing the Judiciary Commiitoe to
inquire into tbe allegations that members of
the House are holding private meetings with a
view to corrupt by bargaining, in violation of
their oaths, and are pledging themselves in
advance to act adversely to an impeaoh
ment of the President, provided the
President agrees to do certain things to
which be has been heretofore opposed, and to
refrain from doing certain things which he was
in favor ol doing, and instructing the Commit
tee to inquire whether any such meetings have
been lielu for any such corrupt purposes; what
members have attended such meetings; what
persons besides members of Congress have been
present; what persons have carried communi
cations from such meeting to the President and
from the President to tae meeting; and what
the nature of such communications, and report
at an early day the result of that inquiry, and
what means are necessary for the preservation
of the honor and independence or the House.
Th resolution was adopted, and referred to a
silect committee of three. . ,
" The Prospect! of the Tariff DIM.
Mr. Hooper will report the Tariff bill on
Monday in tbe Hoube. It will contain higher
rates of duties on almost every article than
those of the Senate Ibill, and there are indica
tions that several Representatives will luslst ou
muklng long speeches on it. This will render
it impossible to pass the bill before Wednesday,
and it consequently will be in the power of the
President to pocket it. It was agreed this morn
ing to fix the tariff on coal at tifty cents, being
a reduction of one dollar from the Senate bill;
also, to reduce salt from thirty ceuU to twenty
two and twenty-four to sixteen.

missioner Sergeant. The persons arrested
last Tuesday morning, about 10 o'clock, in Mor

removing distilled spirits to other thnn a

by United States Commissioner Sergeant, and
T. A. McDevitt, the alleged partner of Kressler,.
and John Frederick, were also arrested on the

Before tbe commencement of the -hearing
James It. Kressler, the son of - one of the
defendants, appeared and stated that Kressler
was sick, and could not attend.
G. W. Mervine being sworn.sald that he was
Sergeant of Twelfth District rollce; I made the
arrest of Kressler, Bird, Delany, and Muodol.at
the place in Mervlue street, above Thompson,
east side, on Tuesday morning, at 1 o'clock; my
attention was attracted to a large wagon that
bad passed tbe Station House once or twice
after midnight, just before tho arrest; It went
into Hutchinson street, and turned down
towards Girard avenue; it returned in a short
time, and went up Thompson towards Mervine
street; I followed tbe wagon, and whilst doing
so Mr. Fredericks spoke to me on Tenth, near
Thompson street: 1 followed the wagon to Mer
vine stieet, and then saw them putting barrels
from tbe wagon into a stable; about flftoon bar
rols were placed in the stable; some of the bar
rels bad no Inspector's marks npon them. Mr.
KresBier wished to smooth it over, and invited
the Sergeant in.
After tbe arrest McDevitt came up to the
Station House and laid claim to the whisky.
Cm the day of the seizure he claimed those
barrels having stamps upou them, o the num
ber of eight. Bird also, at the time of arrest,
tried to persuade Sergeant Mervine not to in
terfere with them. I also saw Fredericks about
the place shortly after tho arrest. Jielany was
also there with the others at the time of the
arrest. It was about o'clock iu the afternoon,
when Mr. McDevitt laid claim to the eight
barrels. When the four were arrested Kressler
was in the act of rolling in a barrel, and Bird
wns behind him.
Walter Brodi being sworn, said that about
ten minutes to 10 o'clock on Tuesday morning
Inst, when Sergeant Mervine brought Kressler,
Bird, Delany, and Muudol into the Station
House, they were charged before Lieutenant
Jacoby with hauling whisky in Mervine street,
aoove Thompson, to Mr. Kressler's stable;
whilst giving their names to the Lieutenant.
Sergeant Mervine went to my room, and told
me to get dressed and go around; I did so, and
in company with Lieutenant Jacoby and Ser
geant Mervine, went around, and found fifteen
barrels of whisky, eight marked and seven not
marked with the Inspector's marks; while
overhauling them, Mr, Fredericks came In and
spoke to Sergeant Mervine; the Lleutenaut
answered back; Fredericks then turned around
and went away; I weut back to the Station
House, and Mr. Kressler called me, and asked
me to see Mr. McDevitt; I went after the latter
to tbe distillery, in Hutchinson street, below
Thompson, and knocking at the door, wns
answered, and went in; found two men inside,
the engineer and a laboring man; I said I
wanted to see Mr. McDevitt; the engineer went
Into the house to find Mr. MoDevltt; this was
between 1 and 2 o'clock, and I did not see him
until 3 o'clock, at tue Station House, when be
v anted to go ball for Kressler.
