On this day the State of Arkansas resumes
her practical relations to the Union, which she
forfeited when she entered into rebellion, and
which she has hitherto been prevented from
resuming through the intolerable obstinacy
and conceit of Andrew Johnson. This in
dividual, instead of promptly vetoing the bill
for the “admission of Arkansas, gave out
through many of his news mongers that he
would let it become a, law; but holding It for
ten days, then sent in his old veto
message. He thus had the satisfaction of
prolonging the exclusion of Arkansas
for a period of ten days. It
was on Saturday last that the veto was re
ceived in the, House, where the bill origi
nated. The members listened to the reading
ofit with praiseworthy patience, and then,
without a word pro or con, quietly passed
the hill over the veto by a vote of 109 yeas to
31 nays. It was then sent to the Senate, and
that body yesterday suffered some important
business to be interrupted, to take up the
' veto. Garrett Davis, Of Kentucky, took oc
icasion to oppose the bill, in a characteristic
raving and ranting speech. Nobody else,
however, said a word, and it passed over the
veto by a vote of 30 yeas to 7 nays. Thus in
the two Houses there were only 38 men will
ing to accept Mr. Johnson’s views, while
there were 139 to condemn them. In the
Senate even Fessenden, Ross, Trumbull and
Van Winkle voted against Mr. Johnson.
The Senators and Representatives of the
newly admitted State , of Arkansas are in
Washington, and doubtless they will have
been sworn in and taken their seats before this
meets the eyes of its readers. The event is
worthy of note and of commemoration. It
might have occurred long ago, and so might
the re-admission of all the other Stateß lately
in rebellion, but for Andrew Johnson, who,
having imagined a plan of his own, refused
to. adopt the plans of any others, and. espe
cially set himself in opposition to the plaa
agreed upon-by more than two-thirds of the
members in each House of Congress. But
tardy as the re-admission of Arkansas is, she
is welcomed warmly; and so will each of the
Stales included in the so-called“omnibusbill,"
which must go through the same ordeal
of delay, veto and,passage by two-thirds ;
for it has already been in the President’s
hands five days. Considering that his veto is
kept always ready, there can be no reason
for withholding it, except his determination
to keep the States out as long as possible.
They will be in, however, in a few days, by
the votes, over the veto, of both Houses.
of Andrew Johnson, in Con
gress as well as out, will then be more evi
dent than ever; for the members elect from
the re-admitted States cannot be expected to
be very friendly to the man who has been
■; the only obstacle to their taking their seats.
O' He resisted, but the people and representa
tives determined that the door should be
opened, and so on this day Arkansas enters.
The choice of Chief Jußtice Chase as the
leader of the Democratic party ■will not only
demonstrate the utter want of confidence of
that party in the ability and trustworthiness
of its old chieftains, but it will prove that the
Democrats are aware of their numerical
weakness. Mr. Chase will never accept the
nomination unless a more liberal set of prin
ciples are adopted by the party, and as it
seems not very unlikely this will be done, it
may be accepted as certain that the Demo-,
crats will choose to swallow their own false
hoods in the hope that the prestige of Mr.
, Chase’s name will win over to their side the
*s votes of weak-kneed, hero-worshipping Re
publicans, as well as the suffrages of the
negroes in the South, who regaro Mr. Chose
as their especial friend. If the Democrats
' r nominate Mr. Chase, they will place him
upon a platform of equal -rights; there
can be no doubt of that. But
it is not at all probable that the .negroes will
follow the Chief Justice blindly. Whatever
faith they have in him arises from their
knowledge of the fact that he has been the
life-long advocate of their freedom and eleva
tion to the privileges ef citizenship. - If they
were Bhrewd enough to perceive the excel
lence of his persistent devotion, they will not
fail to comprehend his motive in allying
himself with their enemies. The negroes
understand that the Democracy upheld sla.
very, encouraged the formation of a slave
empire, reviled the great emancipator, Lin
coln, and are to-day heaping abuse and vini
fication upon the negroes and the great
party that gave them liberty and
enfiiage. A few new planks in the platform
l will not hide the rottenness of the old Derao
eratic principles. The negroes are not stupid
enough to believe in the sincerity of an or
-'v/ ganization that trampled them under foot
when they were helpless, and flattered them
only when they had obtained power. Nor
will they be persuaded that Mr. Chase de
serves, their support as the leader of that
party. The Democratic party will be likely
to lose more votesthan it gains, forwhilethe
negroes will not come in, it may be accepted
j . jib certain that many members of the party
■will have nofalth in the sincerity of such a
7 i% new convert, a convert, too, npon whom
jT ttey cannot expend any enthusiasm without
a humiliating affirmation of the utter falsity
ateurdity of their cherished principles. „
The eagerness of the Democratic- party to -j
enlist the soldiers in its ranks, and thexeadi--
ness of some soldiers to affiliate with that
party, ought not to. have Uie slightest influ
ence upon the minds of those who. are anx
ious to bestow honors upon the men who
fought our battles. Soldiers, like other men,
are sometimes bad and unprincipled, and
those who permit themselves tp be. put for
ward as the representatives of Democracy,
are either willing to sacrifice the loftiest prin
ciples to their selfish lust cf powocand place,
or else they are wholly ignorant of the true
meaning and -intent. of .the principles for
which they fought. It is impossible that
any soldier who entered the army to defend
the Union, and fought through the war
against the men who strove to rend it to
fragments, should honestly believe that the
Democratic party is the Union party of this
country; It encouraged the South to inau
gurate the war; it supported the rebels in
their efforts to destroy our. forces; it scoffed
at the defeats, and mourned over the victo
ries of the Union army, and it is. to-day, the
- bitter and unrelenting enemy of thOße princi
ples for which so many of our soldiers sacri
ficed their lives. If a soldier was sincere in
his efforts to defeat the rebels, he cannot
honestly be a Democrat. To support that
party is .to neutralize the effect of his
triumphs. If he is an enlightened man, and
joins the party, he admits that his career in
the army Was the result of a selfish motive,
or that his political aspirations are stronger
than his devotion to right and truth. In
eithertoase he is unworthy of confidence.
'More than a week will elapse before the
new contract for cleanring the streets in the
Northern half of the city will go into effect,
and heaven only knows what delays will
follow. In the meantime citizens must sub
mit to the infliction of heaps of reeking gar
bage and fouled-gutters, that net only offend
the nose oftiepaaser-by, but also fill
the air with'“poisonous exhalations. The
principal trouble in the upper district comeß
from two sources: first, the accumulations of
foul garbage in front of courts; and secondly,
the choking up of gutters where the city
railway companies have constructed iron
covered tunnels under their tracks at street
crossings. A force of a hundred men, judicious
ly placed, would accomplish vast good if
they would clear out the water-courses,
start the plugs to running for an hour or
two, and shovel up the worst of the dirt at
the openings,of courts and alleys. References
to committee, the nice weighing of things in
legal balances, und the accurate' adjustement
of contracts are all very well in their way;
but meantime mud reeks, standing pools
“cream and mantle,” foul odors exhale, and
people sicken and die. Pending all this cir
cumlocution, when the thermometer ranges
above ninety degrees in the shade, if there
was only some municipal Louis Napoleon
who would take the street cleaning bull by
the horns, and afford us the needfal and
needed relief, we could easily forgive the
usurpation in view of the great good accom?
plished.
It seems that the Bavarian government has
been guilty of an act that in lightest condem
nation must be called illiberal. A news
paper in Munich ventured to assert the obvi
ous theory that the decadence of agriculture
in Bavaria was due, in great part, to the large
number of holidays granted and enforced by
the Church. In consequence of this, the
Archbishop demanded and obtained the sm
pension of the journal, for “exciting to hatred
and contempt of certain classes of Bociety.”
It is difficult to perceive the philosophy of
this. It is quite certain that if the operations
of labor in all branches of the arts are en
tirely suspended upon very many days
in the year, the productive power of the
country must be considerably less than it
would be if such interruptions did not take
place. This, is simply reason and common
sense. An editor who would insist that half
as much labor produced twice as much, or
simply as much material and consequent
; revenue, would be a fooL And this is evi
! dently what the Archbishop wished to have
i Btated. He desired a paradox; the editor, as
j was his duty, gave the truth. It is disgrace
ful that under a constitutional government
I like that of Bavaria, the newspaper press
i dares not express what must be the common
| sentiment ,of every man who can determine
: that two and tivo.make four.
Three years ago, when President Johnson
was very busily engaged in the pardon busi
ness, he was allowed to have extra clerks,
and even short-hand writers, to be paid by
Congressional appropriations. Now, how
ever, as nearly all the rebels have been par
doned, these extra clerks have little or
nothing to do, and being neither useful nor
ornamental, and retrenchment being in order,
a motion to strike out the appropriation for
their pay was made in the Senate. It was
opposed by some of Mr. Johnson’s friends,
but was finally carried, Messrs.
Sherman and Sprague being the
only radical members that could
be induced to vote with the Democrats in
favor of the appropriation. These extra
clerks of the President, who have nothing to
dp, and are paid by Congress, have occupied
their time a good deal in abusing Congress,
either verbally or in letters and despatches to
distant papers. They were very much ex
cited during the impeachment trial, and sdme
of the testimony cPncerning them taken be
! fore the managers will be interesting, if it is
ever made public. But their services, being
I no longer needed, are hereafter to be dis
: pensedwith. .
There were some queer things in the vote
of the House yesterday,by which the bill was
passed removing political disabilities from
several hundred persons in the Southern
States. The Democrats opposed it; but along
with theta were a number of Radical Repub
licans. So we find among the nays such queer
conjunctions as Boyer, of Lehigh, and Wil
liams; of Allegheny; Getz, -of Berks, and Co
vode, of Westmoreland; Brooks, of New
York, and Bhellabarger, of Ohio; Glossbren
ner, of Pennsylvania, and Julian, of Indiana;
Robinson,-of New York, and Stevens, of.
New Hampshire, and various others. The
combined Radical Republican and Conserva
tive Democrats opposed to the bill amounted
to forty-four men. The Radicals werfe con
sistent in thus voting, but the Democrats had

ivtbget ihe reporter to make , a lithe apology
for them, by stating that because’ the names
of one Houston, of Alabama, and.tone Jones,

During the past' winter thousands of
mechanics were idle in the city of New
York. They and their families suffered
greatly,and good men rejoiced when the long
and dreary winter closed and the spring and
summer came. Home of these men are now
“on. strike,” not for such wages as will enable
themtolive-comfortablyin.thesetimes.of
high prices, but for a reduction of the hours
of labor. Meanwhile great enterprises must
stop, the wheels of improvement are put
back and the seed is planted for a ripe harvest
of misery in the coming winter. -But thiß is
not the worst. The men who are working
so much damage to themselveß and
to their employers, : are not content
to manage their town business, but
they insist upon governing the affairs of their
“bosses.” One of the most pernicious fruits
of this intermeddling is in preventing the
taking of apprentices. This has already re
sulted in drivmgnative'wbrkmenoutof
trades once filled by intelligent Americans,
and if the present blind system is tolerated
much longer,- we will find American hod
carriers,ahd laborers doing drudgery, while
foreign skilled mechanics fill the gap that has
been made by the short-sightedness of the
present race of workmen. .Unless the scales
fall from the eyes of the virorkmen who are
doing so much mischief, in h fancied devotion
to their own selfish interests, the Courts will
have to interfere and, break down a system
that is fraught with both public; and private
injury, - .rv
WHAT THE ARTISTS ABE ABOUT.
Rothermel Is at length fairly embarked upon
his great yrifrb of the Battle ofGcttysburg. The t
canvas, a huge scamlesß extentj of white cloth,'
is stretched in hlB old studio, No. 1 North Fif
teenth street.' It is one of Mr. Rothermel’s
sources of regret that his prospective atelier, in
the attic of the new bank opposite, could not be
prepared in time to shelter the commencement of
this great national work. As it is, the enormous
canvas strains to the utmost the capacity of
Rothermel’s famously ample studio. As
at present mounted, it fills the diagonal
of the room, and the visitor observes
with dismay that if it had happened to be a foot
or so longer if would stultify the cause of art
by blockading' the corner in which the door
way opens and thus excluding at once the public,
the materials, the models, and the artist. Upon
this immense field of snow-white vacancy the
imagination of the painter is now winning the
battles of the country over again. Armed with a
little wand of dusky substance,- which was once a
glowing coal, but whose inspiration has gone out
in blackness, the artist sets all on fire again by
the passion of his fancy, and tips his charred
pencil with the spark of his invention. He is
pouring out, and has poured out for many
days, across the liberal breadth of his cloth, an
Homeric succession of the attitudes, the aspira
tions and the victories of heroes. These com
batant figures, delineated in the rude, hot outline
of a first conception, ore observed to display a
tumult of life and an energy of action that the
finished painting can scarcely improve.. The
narrowed space which is not encroached upon
by the stretcher itself ishung round With studies,
portraits, “effects” and sketches, all pointing to
wards the capital work. Among these, the
visitor who might have thonght that
the vogue turmoil upon the principal
canvas was an unruly bit of unfounded fancy,
may correct his impression, and verify the vast
amount of patient study and reading that go to
the preparation of such a work. Portraits of
some of the principal actors in the great Penn
sylvania struggle; a large landscape, carefully
indicating the topography of the spot; studies
in detail of the rocks, the herbs, the wall of
stones; here the uniform and accoutrements of
McCandlesß’e, Reserves . or Stannard’s Green
Mountain Boys, hanging from a peg; there a
color study of the greater part of the composi
tion; a varied mass of authorities,‘investigations,
commentaries, details and notes, which will
finally result in making Mr. Rothermel’s picture,
setting aside its other qualities, are example
almost unprecedented among large martial paint
ngs for literal truth. .
When the subject is more advanced it will be
time to enter into a particular description of the
action, which represents the hand-to-hand con
flict ol our First and Third Corps with Gen.
Armstead’s assault, on the third and final day of
the battle.' The attested occurrence of a close
bayonet conflict on this occcasion—a species of
encounter so rare in actual modern warfare—de
fined this culminating episode as the great oppor
tunity for artistic treatment.
Mr. Rothermel has been hindered, by his in
crest in this gigantic work, from his hoped-for
rustication this summer. He will remain ta the
city until his design is • completely profiled upon
the canvas, and the effect oi light and shade
blocked in.
Bensell has exposed nothing since the success
of his Hainan and Esther, over which the Chi
cago public have been disputing and admiring. A
still more, elaborate subject has since engaged his
attention, to which he is now giving his whole
thought—sketching, reading up and studying in
every way towards the preparation of a
monument of historical research and accuracy
The subject will relate to the Spanish Conquest
in America, and will be charged with details of
the curious, civilization"of the Aztecs. A very
large canvas was recently rejected as insufficient
lor the painter’s aspirations, and a still more co
pious field of blank twilling haß just been Bpread
for the reception pf his teeming ideas. We com
mend with our utmost'sympathy Mr. BensellV
newly-adopted genre of accurate historical repre
sentation, as a direction too mnch neglected ic
our national art, and altogether worthy of his
best efforts.
This tireless student of comparative physiology
has been for some weeks at work upon a picture ef
wild horses, which will express, when finished, the
very life and exuberance of the pampas. A troop
of savage steeds ore represented os coming down
from the hills to pasture oh the plains. The time
is sunrise, and the spirited creatures dumbly par
ticipate in the general awakening of nature.
They stretch in a long lino from the summit of
the composition, pass down the slope in a living
cataract, and deb'onehe npon the moist and grassy
plain. If the painter succeeds iff carrying out
his conception, this will be a picture of equine
pride" and vigor seldom excelled by the most
talented of animal painters abroad.

senting that they , have been residents of this

Mr. Johnsop (Md.) Inquired whether it de
prives a Governor of the power to appoint daring
the recess of the Legislature. In his .State the
Legislature met biennially.
Mr. Edmunds replied va the negative, that It
billy requires tho election to take place in case
the Legislature should bo in session.
Mr. Davis (Ky.) thought the language could be
construed to require a Legislature to be convened
for the purpose, at considerable expense. .
Mr. Dixon (Conn.) suggested that the Insertion
of the words “during the session of the Legisla
tnre” would obviite the difficulty.
.. Mr. Edmunds was of tho opinion that the lap
guege was sufficiently definite.
Hr. Davis insisted that the language was most
indirect, and suggested recommitting It, to tho
Judiciary Committee.
Mr. Hendricks thought the bill was properly
guarded, and would serve a good purpose.
Mr. WBsor (Blass.) introduced a bill to author
ize the consfuction of a bridge between Boston
and East Bodon, Mass. Referred to the Com
mittee on Canmeree. ~.

Mr. Mfnard (Tenn.) suggested whether it
wonld nc he better to take the same coarse as
had bee’ taken in the case of the - Tennessee
delegatiht and refer the credentials formally to
the Coimltteo on Electionsj
Mr. nine remarked that having examined the
, crede'ricle of those gentlemen and found them
' correo and having beard nothing of any of their
peats eing contested, or of any charge of dis
loyal against either of them, he did not think
tbcr Waa any necessity or propriety in referring
tfceicredentials.
y Maynard repeated that that course had
bef token in the case of the Tennessee delega
te, and he thought it was a proper and judi
cias course.
Br. Paine- said that os the gentleman from
•pnessee seemed so earnest, and os other gen
ensn appeared to entertain the same opinion
n vould modify the resolution so as to refer the
■rcentials to the Committee on Elections. The
reslntion as modified'was agreed to. .

Whole, Mryßlalno (Me.). in the choir, and re-',
Burned the consideration of the tax bill, the
question being on Mr. Van Wyck's resolution to
jamend . the first section to reduce the tax on
whlskyfrom GO to’so cents. -
Mr. Van Wyck spoke in support of his amond
■ ment, remarking that his report from the Com
! mittee on Retrenchment had now been justified
! by the Committee of Ways and Means, in recom
; mending a redaction of the tax to sixty cents.
He argued, however, that a tax of fifty cents
: wouldhave more;effect in. stopping illicit dis
tillation.
Mr. Schenck, opposed the amendment, and
I took occasion to correct the; statement he had
made yesterday, in reference to the average tax
on whisky from the various kinds of taxation.
' He had put it then at about $l, from a mental
calculation made at the time, but he had since
1 made a careful calculation, and had arrived at the
conclusion that the tax on whisky wonld amount
to about 76 to 77 cents. ':

[From the N. Y. Herald.)
June 22. —The cold market has been steady and rather
quiet to-day,and the fluctuations were from U 0.% to 140)1,
with tho cfosins transactions prior to tho adjournment of
tho board at 140)4, following which the price declined to
140% under a report that the Treasury intends to antici
pate the payment of the Jnly interest. There was a
moderately active borrowing demand for coifl
and' 'loans were mado at 1-6101-32 .. per cent,
per diem and 206 per cent per annum for
borrow inp, and without interest to either borrower or
lender. The stesmer Arizona brought 81.063.060 in trea
sure, and tho foreign Imtorts of specie daring tho week
amounted to $63,116, makiug a total of $3,649,181 since the
beginning of the year. There were two attempts mode at
financial tinkering in the Bouse of Representatives this
afternoon, neither.of which is, however.inveated with any
importance. ■
Bribe Becretarv of the Treasury has . given notice that
holders of seven-thirty notes who purpose converting
them into fivetwenty bonds must present the notes that
matured on the 15th insti, on or before the 16th of July,
and those that mature on tho 15th of July on or before the
let et August. The bonds to bo issued in exchange wifi
carry interest from tho Ist proximo and the intero ton
tho notes will be calculated accordingly. The not-*
helders have the option of calling for tho bonds of 1867
or 1868, and their distribution will be on tho principle of
“first come first served.” „ ,
The Btock market has been strong and more active than
usual all d-y. Reading continues to lead tho railway
shares, and those most familiar wirh tho affairs of the
company are among the principal buyers of tho stock. It
has advanced to 102% apparently without any ofiort On
the part of speculatois in tho s reet and thero is no ap
pearanceof a clique in it, or of anything more than a
general disposition to buy it in anticipation of a higher
price based upon its real valuo. for as prices go it is low
compared with most of the speculative shares. The de
mend for the stock at Philadelphia is ; as active in pro
portion to the extent of tho market there as it is here, and
It comes mainly trom outside buyera.
The marketfor g<n eminent securities opened at a frac
tional advance upon the closing quotations of Saturday
and remained strong all day under on active demand for:
investment os well as on foreign account. The five
'twenties of 1866 were in request at 111%, chiefly fop ship
ment, a preference being given to theso ovpr thoee of
-1862 by mspv of the bankers on account of their being'
two per conC lower than the latter, although they aro in
every respect, equal, excepting that they have throe years
longer to rnn, which is a positive advantage. There was;
an Improved demand for registered bonds, as is usual just
before the semi-annual interest oayments take place.;
The approaching disbursements of,the Treasury are al -
ready strengthening the upward tondency of pricee. and
tbe ensuing month v ill. probably-witness a more decided
-improvement Inall the issues of United States stocks than
has yet been experienced. The closing of the gold loans:
by luo funding of all the 7-30 notes, and the consequent’
stoppage of the supply of bonds, will cause a steady anil
permanent appreciation of their market value, and the
simnltancous disbursement in July of nearly forty mi 1 ;
lions of coin by the Government will so largely stimulate
the demand that quotations will probably range consider
ably higher this summer than they havo ever vet dom*
since tho suspension of specie payments. Our national
sccnrities are the only really cheap ones In the conutry,
nearly all the speculative railway and miscellaneous;
stocks being relatively much higher.

THE LEGISLATIVE TICKET
The different nominating Conventions of the
Democratic party assembled this morning. The
proceedings were as.follows:
THE county convention.
The Democratic Connty Convention for the
nomination of candidates for District Attorney
and Prothonotary of the Court of Common
Fleas,assembled in Washington Hall at 10 o'clock
this morning.
The body was called to order, and Michael J.
Cnssiday was chosen temporary President; Clif
ford 8. White, Thomas Davis and Thomas Me
gonlglc, were elected Secretaries.
Doorkeepers were then appointed, and the
President proceeded to call the Wards by divi
sions for the credentials of delegates. This had
hardly commenced, when * delegate 'arose and
said that the room was full of Outsiders, who
should be expelled, whereupon another jumped
up and moved that the Convention adjourn fpr
fifteen minutes, and that everybody be com
pelled to leave the room, and, as they re-entered,
show their credentials- ’
The President decided to take no notice of any
motion until the credentials were all in. This
occasioned a regular uproar, the delegates rush
ing np to the President’s table,demanding that the
motion should be put
Mr. Cassiday declined, and declared that he
wonld stop all business until order won restored
nd the delegates seated.
In the course of a few minutes the members be
came seated,and the calling of the words was con
tinued, occupying over an hour.
The list having been gone through, the divi
sions hot answering to the previous call were
gone over and the omissions supplied.
A motion was made by a delegate to ddjonm
until two o'clock, and he explained that the rules
required an alphabetical list'to be made ont, and
this would take the Secretaries’until that honr.
This was met with a storm of cries of “No! No!”
—the delegates jumping on their seats.
Tbe President pnt the motion and decided it
carried, when the delegates shouted—“No! No!!
yon -can’t gag ns!” Notwithstanding this, the
President left the platform and the delegates
retired slowly from the hall.
Tbe honr fixed fpr reassembling arrived, but
the officers failed to' pnt in an appearance. At
about a quarter after two, the delegates began
clamoring, and all at one time were making va
rious motions. This scene has continued up to

The Whisky Tax.
MR. EVARTS’S CONFIRMATION

NOMINATIONS BYTHEPRESIDENT
The Whisky Tax."
I Special Despatch to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.]
Washington, Juno 23d In the.now tax bill
reported by the Committee Of Ways' and Means
wfileky Is taxed GO cents a gallon, and a special
tax is also levied of two hundred dollars for the
first fifty barrels manufactured, which
adds ten cents additional to each gallon, making
the tax, in all, seventy cents per gallon. - This
special tax of $2OO dollars was not applied in the
separate bill to. whisky in bond, therefore it gave
the holder of whisky m bond on advantage often
cents per gallon.
This appears to have been an oversight on the
port of the Committee,' and when attention was
called to it to-day,, they at once Btated that
proper amendments would be offered to the bill
In the House.
Despatches received from the West this mom*
log announced that whiskey in bond hod already
advanced nine cents per gallon,in anticipation-of
the passage of that section of the bill which does
not include in it the special tax. of two hundred
dollars on the first fifty barrels.
Hr. Evarts’a Confirmation.
[Special Despatch to the Philadelphia Evening BoUetla.l
Washington, June 23'.— The Committee of the
Judiciary In the Senate will probably .report : fa
vorably upon the nomination of Wm. M. Evarts,
as Attorney General, although there Is a decided
opposition to his. confirmation on .the part of
many radical Senators. The indications are that
the vote upon his confirmation will be a close
one, with the chances somewhat against it.' ,
Encouragement to Immigrant*.
[Special Despatch to tho Phils. Evenkis Solletin.l
Washington, June 23.—Mr. Cnilum, from the
House Committee on Foreign Affairs, is prepar
ing a report to submit to. the House on: the bill
introduced some time ago to establish agents In
Europe for the purpose of encouraging immigra
tion -to this country. The forthcoming report
will recommend the adoption and passage of this
bill.

• X- pi FORTS OF ENTRY."
Washington, Juno 23.— The Senate Financo
Committee, at their meeting to-day, decided to
report adversely upon the House bill making
Chicago, Cincinnati and St. Louis ports of
entry, but' wilt report a new bill to the
Senate as a substitute for the Honse bill, which,
will be more Stringent in its requirement than
is provided for in the House bill. The committee
are of the opinion that it the present bill was
passed there would be ample opportunity to de
fraud the Government •
-The Secretary of the Treasury sent to the Com
mittee a bill which, in his opinion, would cover
the cage, but even this failed in their opinion.
COLLECTOR CONFIRMED. . ■
The Committee also decided to make a favor
able report to the Senate upon the nomination of
Mr. Mulford, named as Collector at. Richmond,
Virginia.
NEW MEMRKUS.
The question of admitting Sonatora and Con
gressmen from Arkansas to seats in Congress a 1
once, came np in both Houses to-day. There be
ing some objection to their taking the oath with
out reference of their credentials to the Commit
tee on Elections, the House as a matter of foim,
so referred them. .
The Committee will, at the first opportunity,
reportfavorably, and the members will be sworn
in.
In the Senate the matter came np, and lead to
quite a lengthy debate.
It was held by Beveral Senators that Arkansas
had elected Senators before the bill allowing
her representation became a law; therefore SHCh
elections were not entirely regular, and a new
one must be held. A motion to refer the creden
tials to the Judiciary Committee for investiga
tion is now nnder discussion.
! THE WAUIDSSIA PDRCHJSE MONEY.
Ab Boon as the Tax bill la disposed of, the
House Committee on Foreign Affairs will call up
the bill making an appropriation for the par
chase of Walrnssia, and an effort will be made by
the minority of said committee, who are opposed
to such appropriation, to postpone the whole
subject until the next session of Congress.

XLtlt Congress—second Session.
IHonsn—Continued from Second Edition.l
Mr. Ingersoll (111.) moved to amend by putting the tax
at 25 cents,and argued that at any higher fig nr* than that
it would be Impossible to suppress illicit distillation. He
slated that tho distilleries otPeoria (III) which had paid
$16,000,000 or $17,000,000 of revenue on whisky Bine*
the taxation commenced, had been compelled
to suspend and have notroadoa gallon of whisky for the:
last four months. Thero woe but one way whereby the
honest, legitimate manufacturer In the west could carry
on bis business, and that was by putting the tax at such
a figure as not to offer enormous premiums to fraud.
Mr. Butler (Mass.) proposed to reduce the tax to 20
cents, which would, with thespedal taxes, bring the tax
on whisky to about'4o nM&'centa. This, he said, w&s the
philosophical point .of taxation, oa found by the expe
rience of-other countries.
Mr. Allison moved to make the tax 65 cents, and stated
his reasonaforthe.propoiition
Mr. Garfield arcued in, favor of fifty cents, which he
thought would take away the teraptaMon to rascality.
Mr. Kelley argued In favor of forty cents, holding that
all over that was but a mere bonus to fraud, and a mere
present of millions to scoundrels who cheat the govern
ment. i
He advised tho House not to follow the example of the
man who, being too kind to cut off all tho tail of his dog
atonre. cut off a piece every day; but to put the tax at
once down to tho proper figure. .
Mr. p ruyn expressed the opinion that his colleague (Mr ;
Van Wyckv had about hit the point in proposing to fix
the tax at fifty cents. - • . ~.
Mr. Judd (IlL) favored tho proposition of Ills colleague
; (Ingersoll) to fix the tax at 25 cents. It was perfectly evi
dent, ho Baid. that the $3 tax-had not given the Govern
menttli* past year moro than at the rate of 15 CQnts;s«;
that at2scenta the revenuo would be larger than that now
collected. He advl*ed the House. illustrated by the
gentleman from Pennsylvania (Kelley) to cut on the;
whole tail at once. _ . .
Mr. Scbcnck (Ohio) said that the recommendation of 60
cents was nothing moT* than a recommendation, ana
that the Committee on Ways, and Means would bo per
fectly satisfied with any figure which theHouso may think
Mr* Harding (111.) expressed his conviction, from a
good deal of observation, living in tho neighborhood of:
Fare, distilleries, that no conridcraWo »">ount .
can be hereafter realized from tho distilleries in Illinois:
at a larger tax on whisky than 25 or 30 cents.
THE TEN ItItoEEJIALRE DISASTER.
Ntntementiof Survivors.
iFrom the Cleveland Loader, June 22.]
STATEMENT OF CAPTAIN M’tvAY.
Captain McKay, of the H.' N. Rice, gives the
following account:—At about a quarter before
three o’clock Sunday- morning, the mate heard
cries from two persons but a few rods to tho star
board. Tito night was vory dark. 1 He supposed
that the deckhoad of some vessel had been wasbod
off and that a couple of sailors were floating upon
it Tho boat was stopped and swung round, '
drifting into a large quantity of life preservers,
matresses and furniture. . The, floating parcels
indicated that an accident had happened to some <
steamboat Two boats wore' lowered,. manned
,and sent out to pick up all who could bo found.,
The barque Li H. Colton was also near by and
assisted in the rescue. - He stood on dock ■ 'wi th.'
a- glass, scanning the horizon and direct-,
ing the' boats until all had been done to
save lives which it was possible to do. The
Rice cruised around until a quarter past seven;
mid -then sailed for Cleveland. The lake was
3:15 O’Oloolc.
and; waa awakehcd'by the collision, which occur- ”
red about twenty minutes before one. He went
immediately to the ' door of his stateroom; and
was met by the Misses Fatchen, who occupied
the next room (No. 46), and whoaskedThlm what
was the matter. He went below to ascertain,
• but wgs told by the engineer that no Berious
damage and occurred to the Star: Camo back
- and so informed the ladies. Soon afterwards the-,
Cortland, which had become entangled with the,
anchor of the Star, swung around against the
sidewbeelol the Star; and was drawn In to it,
grinding the wheel to pieces. Seeing this he
went below again, and said to the enginoer that
things were looking serious.. The ; engineer, re
eponded that it was so. and that they might be
In great danger unless they could gel clear of the
schooner,. Came back to the-cabin and told the
ladles of the. situation.' Showed the Misses-,
Patchen how to fasten on their life preservers.
Each had two, one fastened aronnd them and
carrying one under the arm. Went below again,
and saw the water pouring in as though the -
whole side of the vessel ' had been carried
away. Said to the engineer: “Watson, the
Ipfrarill Sink within a minute.” Watson
looked out, and answered: “My God
Swat is so.” Both came np at once to the
