an anniversary speech.
by iron:* QDIIX.
I have a great many fortes. One of them
is talking to children. There are plenty of
follows who think they arc good at this, but
thefkct is, not half of them know anymore,
about it than they do about speaking the
Pawpaw dialect. But lam immense at it.
Last week I made an engagement to go down
to Chester and address the children upon he
occasion of thft anniversary of one of the
schools. I spoke somewhat as follows; .. ,
My dear children, I came here to-day at
iho rcnuest of your kind teachers, to say a
few words to you about good and bad ehil
dren/and toshow you ho w very much better
it is for boys and girls to good,
and love their friends, and each other-when
they get old enough-aud their dear teachers
than to behave badly and raise the very did
■Ned as some wicked children do. All you
hoys’ have got to do in this world is to keep
in the rigbt path, and learu yojur lessons,add
never play for keeps at marbles, and go
snatching other fellows’ white alleys when
they ain’t looking; and always mind your
mothers, and this first thing you know you
will grow up into a noble manhofod, and very
likely get to be President of the United States,
and enjoy yourselves, and the good girls they
will Bpot you and go for you, and try to get
in their hooks 'for-a; Wedding, so that they
can gaily disport in the White House.
But if you do any wicked things, you can’t
get there; rSin always brings its punishment;
lor once’l foiew a perfectly outrageous boy
named BlllDubbs, and he w«S almost always
playing marbles for good, and winning from
the other fellows, until gambling became, a
passion with him,;'and what became of this
boy ? What, I say, was the sad and dis
astrous termination of Bill Stubbs’s sinful
career? Why, he grew up and wont tospecu
lating>m stocks, and he made his pile ana
got so rich that hiß money might well have
been $ burden to him, although it wasn t, and
thus was his early folly rewarded, for you
know no rich man stands any chanse-of-baing
happy, and Bill often said he envied the in
nocence of his boyhood’s days, and con
fiideredfgold nothing but dross, although it
was observed that he never fiuug any of his
away with a recklessness of despair.
It is always rough bn bad boys, dear child -
ren, just as It was on that fellow out in Illi
nois, very many years ago, who, whenever
he played blindmau’s buff, always cheated,
and pretended he couldn’t see, when he
could all the time, which was very evident
from the way in which he kept a following
a girl named Mary Jane McGrath around the
room, and paying no attention to anybody
else, so anxious was he to grab hold of that
girl and kiss her, which she seemed to be fond
Be sure your sin will find you out. This bgy
eventually.married,Mary Jane,and long years
after, withthememoryof his aweetdeception
lingering in her heart, she would tackle him
with this ironing-board and Bwell up his head
for him. „ .
Boys will be boys, I know, my dear
children; and it is a very wise determination
on their part, seeing as how they couldn’t be
anything else if they wanted to ever so bad.
But they can be conscientious boys, and not
like Jim Lanigan, who lives next door to me,
BDd always on Sunday morning collects his
missionary money from his idolized parents,
and goes r right around in the alley and
matches with his abandoned companions
until they win, and he goes to Sunday School
and tells jus. teacher that his father nad no
change thiß morning. .
If this depraved Jim goes and does thus,
will it not serve him exactly right when, very
likely, Borne time or other, he will go on a
tour to Africa, and. some old heathen or
other will come .up and get his grip on his
shirt collar, and, in a stem voice, demand:
“Where are those cents whioh should have
been spent in converting me?”
And then take old Jim in/and chaw him
right up, as if he was only.an insiguifieant
morsel. Of course it wilL
These things make me sad to think of,dear
children; but not more so than do the stories
I read in some ot your little books, about
good and bad boys and girls. Never go to
betting on what you read in books, for it very
seldom turns out in real life as it does in a
volume.
Why, I recollect a sweet little girl, named
Louisa Tompkins, who had been reading, in
her library-book, of a child who once broke
into a Closet, and went after her loving
mother’s preserves and gorged herself with
them. And, when this fictitious child had
enough, she went to work and sat down, and
thought how very wicked she had boen, aud
she said thus unto herself:
“I will go and confess all to my mother?"
And so she rose right up and did so, and
her mother was so much affected by her
truthfulness that she clasped her to her
heart and wept scalding tears of thankfulness,
and never whipped her a particle.
And so Louisa Tompkins thought she
■would set up that Bort of a game, and went
and rioted festively among the raspberry
jam, and then pranced around, and broached
the subject to her mamma; whereupon, the
old lady, who had never read a story book iu
all her barn days, and, of course, wasn’t
posted, raved around, and got a switch and
flogged Louisa Tompkins, her child, like the
very nation, and never shed a single, solitary,
scalding tear of thankfulness, she didn't.
Ah! these things often bring their own
punishment, and never was retribution more
unfit than in the case of the selfish little lad
who refused to give his fond playmates half
of his apple at school, but ate it all himself,
and then went rigut in and sat down on the
tack whieh off? of them had placed on his
seat, which caused him to get up and howl.
But,as’l said things don't always turn out
as they profess tp do in books. Bob Jenks,
for instance, would let all the boys pinch
him and kick him, and punch his head and
knock whole wood-yardß of chips off of his
shoulder, and be called “coward” and yet he
would never fight*. because he said he
thought it was wicked; so one day one of hiß
companions fell into the creek, and every
human-being in that vicinity supposed, of
course, Bob Jenks would do the regular, old,
constitutional thing for boys who don t fight,
and plunge in and rescue his companion, and
show that he wasn't a coward, and receive
the thanks ,of the whole school, and be for
ever afterward honored and respected and
beloved. But did lie? Well, I should think
he didn’t. He noierely sat down on the bank,
and said tie knew he was a coward, and he
wasn’t going to jump into the water and get
wet and drown for anybody; he gucsßed not.
you see he was a real boy and not one ol
tWwe fictitious fellows in the novels.
And there are plenty of such cases. There,
for instance, was William Henry Gibbs, who
heaved a spitball across the school-room, and
then looked as innocent as a baby when the
teacher asked who did it. And then, as the
teacher grabbed another ooy and yanked him
up and began to flog him for it, I’d like to
know if William Henry Gibbs nobly came
forward and stated that he was the real cul
prit. Oi course he didn’t. He merely shook
his fist at the boy, who was enjoying the
licking, and plainly intimated that he would
lam him at receßß if he told on him, and the
boy was as silent os the grave.
And it was this very identical same William
Henry Gibbs,who ÜBed to put hiß book where
be could look at it while he was saying hiß
lesßons, and the consequence was that he
Btood head of bis Class, And took the first
prize, and no more remorse festered in his
Bonl than if he had keen a blessed saint. It
didn't actually. . ' :
But these thinks, my dear children, are very
wrong, and in all human" probability retribu
tion will come.' Some day or other, sooner
or later, you will either die, or some stray
dog will clinch on to your leg, or you will
got kicked by a mule, or get into politics, or
hafve people borrowing money of you,or 6omo
other calamity will happen to you._ So take
myiadvice ana do right,'and wheu you grow
up all right, you will probably be poor as
dirtj you will have the proud satisfaction, of
looking‘back on youripaSt life, and reflecting
thatl you are good while your wicked com
. panions are only rich and lnxurioua,and pos
•sessorS of seared and consequently not trouble
some consciences.

The following extract from yesterday's Ctohe
gives an interesting snecch by Mr. O'Neill, of the
Second District, on the motion to cut down the
appropriation for letter-carriers:
Mr. O'Neill—l dCßire to Bay a few words for the
purpose of expressing my opposition to any
such decrease of appropriations as will limit the
usefulness of the postal sorvice. l I have listoned
to this debate with great attention, because, as
has been said by the gentleman from Ohio, [Mr.
Bchenck, ]ltis a very Interesting subject, it is
interesting not only to the rural population of
the country and to tbo smaller towns, citieß, and
villages, but it is of course of great Interest to
the larger cities.
in the city of Philadelphia wo have frequent
deliveries and frequent collections of lotters, and
the facilities thus afforded give the business peo
ple there great satisfaction. And so it is in New
York, Boston and Baltimore, and other largo cities
of the country. I presumo that this Congress
does not wish to cut off these facilities ip any
way. Tho demands of busineßß requiro them,
and while wo are endeavoring to inaugurate a
proper system of economy in every Department
of the Government let us not without
Pennsylvania Legislature.
Postal Facilities.
fair discrimination do anything which mar
interfere In any degree with arrangements which
have been made for the frequent and prompt des
patch of the correspondence of the country, ine
appropriation made lost year, for the letter-car
rier system was about seven hundred thousand
dollars. Tho Postmaster-General now asks tor
$1,000.000. 1 The Committee
BURBest that wo cut it down to $500,000. Why,
sirs?this postal service cannot bo properly car
ried ‘on if wo diminish the appropriation.
This great country is increasing rapidly,
with tiio 'means of travel, extending every
year. Month after month new post-otnees are
being established.- Yet, it is proposed
that not only 4bo appropriation for-the pay
mint of letter carriers, but that other items
deemed necessary by the, Department, should be
stricken from the bill. I am in favoi" of giving
increased facilities for the transmission of the
mails, anditbis is demanded everywhere. 1 wilt
refer to the State of Pennsylvania to illustrate the
growing wants of - the people in this respect.
That Btate, within the last twenty-five or tnirty
years, has expended over coining
voluntarily from tho pockets of its citizens, Tor
the construction of railroads and canals. TOobo
railroads and canals extend over - flvo thousand
miles in length within the borders of that State.
The increase in tho number of post-offices
every year along tho lines of these Improve
ments must bo verv great. At every railroad
station there is o post-office: at ovorv village
within the roach of a railroad or canal thoro is
a post-office, and that must be tho case through
out tho country, wherever enterprise is pushing
1 forward tho means of travel tor its citizens
and transportation for tho products of the soil
and tho results of its industry. Our cities are
increaeing- rapidly in population, and in regard
to them the city of Philadelphia, with a popu
lation of over eight hundred thousand; tho
city of Now York, with a population of nearly
a million, and withjthe business of both extend*
ing to all parts of the country and all over the
world, must be accommodated with facilities not
only for their local correspondence, but for that
which is to be carried beyond their limits. They
want frequent mails. They require almost con
stint deliveries of letters. The latter has become
a necessity; and, yet, if the views of the Com
mittee on Appropriations prevail, they will
be deprived to a great extent of the
conveniences they now have. o lu these
large cities there ore at least six or seven col
lections, and almost as many deliveries daily.
The boxcß for the reception of letters are to bo
found at almost every corner of the streets. The
labor of many men is required, not only to col
lect from them, but to deliver the letters. Cat
down this appropriation, and these facilities
must, of course, be diminished. It is Impossible
to do this work with fewer men than are now
employed. Those who novr perform it are
wearied and worn out before their long day ’a
work is done, and I am only surprised that
any of them stand the exhaustion and
fatigue of their honest and unremitting toil.
There should bo more carriers instead of a reduc
tion of the number, os this proposed decrease of
appropriation would undoubtedly bring about.
Those of us who have realized tbo convenience of
luqucnt mail deliveries and have witnessed the
aclivlty and fidelity in the performance of dnty of
the letter carriers in large cities, mast feel sur
prised that the Committee on Appropriations has
suggested that so much less ba appropriated for
this item of really neeessary expense.
So do I deprecate unwarranted decrease in the
appropriations for tho general mail service. Why,
sir, we cannot expect our country to flourish, to
increase in wealth and population, unless we
give proper facilities to our citizens for the trans
mission and reception of the mails, unless we
show to the world that while wo are carrying on
a great Government we are willing to make ex
penditures commensurate with its greatness. It
is inevitable that the expenses of tho Post-office
Department must increase yearly, because it is
inevitable that the country must grow, that its
citizens must increase in numbers, and that its
business interests must be developed.
Mr. Chairman, reverting to the appropriation
for letter carriers, I think that it should not be
cut down. lam sure these men do more service,
perhaps, than any other class of men in the em
ployment of the Government. They are engaged
in our cities from early morning till late at night,
and yet they are living upon very poor salaries
a i compared with the salary of other Government
(mployes. There have been, I believe, applica
tions from all the principal cities of the Union far
an increase of the pay of letter carriers, bo that
their salaries may be made sufficient for them to
live upon, and so that they can properly main

The Young Men’s Christian Association.—
There was a large attendance la6t evening at the
monthly meeting of the Young Men’s Christian
Association. Peter B. Simons, Esq., presided.
The Essay of tho evening was read by Rev. David
A. Cunningham, upon the subject, “Deism and
Christianity Compared.” The Essay was fol
lowed by a debate upon tho question: “Is Deism
better than no Religion for an Individual or a
State?” The interest of the occasion was in
creased by choice selections of music by a largo
choir. New members were elected to the Asso
ciation, after which the meeting adjourned.
Murderous Assault urON a Woman. — A few
nights ago, ns Mrs. Lovett, residing at No. 2031
Catharine street, was about retiring, the front
door was opened by means of a false key, and two
men entered whose faces were concealed by
masks. They entered the bed-room of Mrs.
Lovett, and one of them seized her by the throat
while the other Btruek her violently on the head
with a billy. Her screams scared the ruffians off,
and both made their escape, though some of the
neighbors hurried to the house as soon as tho
.alarm was heard.
Fatal Accident.— On Saturday evening a fatal
accident occurred in the Twenty-fifth Ward, from
the careless use cf coal oil. Ellen Levy, living as
cook in the family of Mr. 8. Wilmer Cannell, was
attempting to light a coal oil lamp, and seems to
hove needlessly scattered its contents about her.
In a moment her clothes were in a blaze. The
vigorous and courageous efforts of Mrs. Connell,
who wsb tho first to give aid, extinguished the
flames, but the unfortunate victim of the accident
survived it bnt a few moments.

Slow New 'Sorb. iraercUnnCN Trent tbeir
CuMtomera—An finlquitous System#
Tbo Now York Sun of yesterday contains the
following: . , . „
It has often been asserted that the laws of the
State of New York do not permit Imprisonment
for debt j Jand not n lawyer can be found in this
great city who will not assure the anfortunate
debtor that he cannot be deprived of his liberty
because of bis inability to meet his pecuniary ob
ligations. But there are at least fifty intelligent
men within easy call of the City Hail who will
testify in any court that this is a legal fiction.
These fifty men are the victims of debt, and at
leastforty of them arenow Involuntary sojourners
In q prison of this city built. and used expressly
for the accommodation of that' class of persons
who do not fled it Convenient or possible to pay
their debts.
lIOW IT IS DONE.
It is true that no man can be legally deprived
of bis liberty in this State simply because of his
inability to pay wbat ho owes. But a defendant
may be arrested and deprived of his liberty upon
an affidavit setting forth that lie is a non-resi
dent and Is about leaving the State, or, that,
being a resident, he is about to abscond, having'
incurred a liability for damages, aud for wrong
fully taking and kcepiag the properly of another.
A man may also be arrested in an action for a
fine or penalty, or on a breach of promise to
marry, or for monoy reetived or property em
bezzled while acting as an agent for anotbor.
Also, on an allegaliOD|of false pretences or fraud
in obtaining credit, tbe debtor may bo arrested
and held until he discharges tbe obligation or
disproves the allegation.
A WARSIHG TO COOSTRT MBRCHANTB.
Such are the provisions of-the statutes of this
State. Now let us look at their operation. Wm.
Smith is a merchant in Omaha. He eomes to
New York twice a year, and purchases goods on
four or six months^credit. He meet 9 all his ob
ligations for a serles of years, but finally becomes
embarrassed and falls. 'Being found In this city,
one of his creditors makes au affidavit that ho
believes Smith means to defraud him of the
amount he owes. An order of arrest at once
issues, and, unless Smith can disprove the belief
of bis creditor, or give ball for the amount he
owes, he is locked up in. the prison pro vided for
such cases, and field Id durance until such time
as he can furnish security or find evidence with
which todisprove the allegation against him.
Messrs. Claflin & Co., A. T. Stewart <fc Co.,
Arnold, Constable & Co., or any other of our
merebanta can thus Imprison %ny debtor, they
msy bsve who does not meet his obligations at
maturity, the only requirement being that they
make a jiro forma affidavit that they believe there
is an attempt to defraud.
FORTT-FIVE VICTIMS.
Tbo Ludlow street jail, where this class of esses
are kept, now contains forty-five prisoners for
debt. Tbo number is. now small, the average
usually being about fifty. These are not all iano
ccnt sufferers. In many cases tbe law is working
a just punishment for intended or accomplished
fraud. In other cases tt e parties are the victims
Of misfortune and unfeeling creditors. A glance
at some of these cases will show the outrages our
Statutes permit while pretending to forbid incar
ceration for debt.
STORY OF A M KHOJAS MERCHANT.
A merchant doing business in Michigan, with a
{tsrtner, incurred obligations with 6ome of our
lading mercantile establishments to tbe amount
of 940,000 or $50,000. The purchases were made
by tho partner, who subsequently absconded,
leaving both his creditors aud tbe honest mer
chant with whom he was associated in the lurch.
The honest merchant at once put wbat was left
of his assets iu the bands of a receiver for the
benefit of bis creditors, and came ou to this city
to negotiate a settlement of the obligations of the
firm. At once be was arrested on an affidavit
bated on"lnformalion and belief," alleging fraud,
and the famous Ludlow street jail became hli
forced dwelling place. For four weeks ho was
detained Id that prison, and at tbe end of that
time the creditors chose to believe his statemen ts,
and allowed him to depart and wind up his busi
ness in their interest. But for the option o( his
creditors, tbe walls ef that prison would have
held him until be was gray.
HOW Alt HOXBBT CHICAGO MEECHAHT WAS
TSArrgD.
A Chicago merchant—not necessarily dishonest
became ot bis place of residence—failed. His
New York creditors at once alleged false pre
tences against him, on‘Which charge they pro
cured a requisition from tho Governor or this
Btsle for him, bad him arrested In Chicago and
brought here, where'be was promptly discharged,
the false pretences being utterly disproved. Im
mediately bis creditors commenced civil actions
against him; he was arrested and thrown into
Ludlow street jail, where he still remains, having
waited six long, weary months for the courts to
get ready to bear his case, confident that he can
show tbe most complete absence of all fraudulent
intentions in all his transactions.
THE “REVOLVERS."
But there ie do need of multiplying these illus
trations. Let any one that asserts that a man
cannot be imprisoned for debt In this State,
visit the Lndfow Btreet jail, and ho will bo
quickly undeceived. Many of the prisoners in
that Institution, as hae been stated, are bat re
ceiving their just deserts. There are a class of
prisoners there known In the jail parlance as '‘re
volvers”—that is, persons wbo incur debts in the
purchase of property, then dispose of the prop
erly and trust to lack to moke a profitable job of
it by a compromise with their creditors. The
imprisonment, to theee fellows, is bat an inci
dent in their calculations. They expect it. It is
while held there that they make their compro
mises, paying ihelr creditors len, twenty, or thirty
per cent, of their claims for a discharge and the
opportunity of repeating their operations. One
of these characters Is now confined for the fonrth
time within twelve years in this same prison, and
daring the same time has tested Jersey justice
about as often. His average time in jail Is about
fonr montba, at the end of which time his credit
ors are usually willing to compromise for what
they can get.
SMUGGLERS Alii) PIRATES FOR COMPANY
While the common belief is that the Ludlow
street jail is reserved for debtors In civil actions
only, the reality is quite different. All prisoners
arrested by the United States Marshal for viola
tions of Federal law are confined here, whether
smugglers, counterfeiters, post-office robbers,
pirates, mutineers, or whatnot. With these the
unfortnnato debtor is thrown into contact, and
among them he must find his associates. Bat
tfcete are not the only classes of offenders. In
many cases of flagrant violation of criminal laws,
the sufferers prefer to commence olvil action for
damages, being satisfied to let the culprit go free
provided their own dollars and cents are re
funded, or the personal damages they conceive
themselves to have snffered are made good by
pecuniary considerations.
MANAGEMENT OF THE PRISON.
The Internal management of this prison Is also
deserving of favorable notice. It is a commenda
ble fact that not one of its inmates will make any
complaint against the jail officials. The im
prisonment of debtors, though permissible only
on allegation of fraud, Is designed not to punish
the frapd, but merely to detain the debtor Hntll
hfs obligations are secured. Hence the prisoners
may be allowed the largest liberties and the freest
indulgences compatible with their safety, for
which the Sheriff Is personally responsible.
»bOBB who can afford it themselves, or who are
blessed with friends who can afford It, are per
mitted to hoard at the keeper's table, which Is
provided as liberally as the majority of boarding
houses In this city. For this privilege the price
is $l6 per week, where two occupy
one apartment. The exclusive use of an
apartment is charged for proportion
ately, nnd for rooms in the keeper’s
portion of ihe building, of which there are but
one or two not required by his family, tho charge
is usually $3O per week. Curtain classes of pri
soners are required by the law to provide their
own sustenance, but this law Is not enforced, and
all ore fed freely, whether thoy can pay or not.
Those who cannot pay have their rations fur
nished to them in the corridors or in their cells,
in the some manner as prisoners are fed in other
jails. The supply perhaps Is more bountiful and
varied. The county allows the Sheriff fifty cents
per day lor tho board of each prisoner.
.Aftor all, it is but just to say that there can be
bnt little fault found, if any, with the treatment
of the prisoners, other than in the associations
to which they are subjected. The great com
plaint is with the law which In this enlightened
age permits Imprisonment for debt nnder such
flimsy pretenecß as aro sot forth in many of these
oises.
t CHECK THE OUTRAGE.
ironr lawmakers ore In earneat in their desire
? r ®yjL nt outrage on modern civilization
Itt „^w? mo r humanity, a very slight amendment
nec ™ary, Let the plaintiff
present to the Court proof positive of fraud,
.false pretences, or fraudulent intent before tho’
-order to arrest is made, and there can be no wrong'
done. A man that commits a fraud, or Intenas
to do so, should bo punished. No one will ob
ject to that But when a greedy creditor Is per
mitted to make affidavit, merely alleging an
opinion that the debtor might, could, or would
commit a fraud, tho grounds arc not sufficient for
arrest, and the law ought toprotect theunfortun
ate debtor. But we we told he now has a remedy
in proceedings against his accuser for false
Imprisonment. This Is very good iu theorv, but
very bad in practico. The swindler who fails ox
prtßßjy lo cheat bis creditor, bos tbo means to
carry on expensive litigations, but tbe honest
debtor, wbo has given up bis last penny to sat
isfy bis ercdltore, how Is be to litigate with the
merchant princes of ibis city? Could he by any
chance succeed.in.raising money enough to com
mence proceedings, and should bo secure judg
ment in tbe Court of original jurisdiction, his
more opulent antagonist would worry him out
with appeals and new trials notil,in vexation aud
weariness, be should be content to smother his
feelings of revenge, and accept tbe wrongs
heaped npon him as blessiDgs In disguise.
A GRAND EXPOSE.
Mr. Wm. L. Gardner, who has for many years
been connected; with the management of our
debtors' prieon.has, under the patronage of our
worthy Mayor, prepared a volume of his expe
jriences with imprisoned debtors, which will soon
*be given lo the public. From the manuscript of
tbat work tho following words are extracted as a
suitable resume and summary of this whole sub
ject. ‘ Mr. Gardner says:
“Ever since I could understand the laws rela
ting to imprisonment for debt, I have been op
posed to the manner in which they are adminis
tered. All spmc, plaintiffs need to arrest their
debtor is to s>ako affidavit that they ,believe the
defendant in tended to defraud them when making
tbe purchase, as he told them bo and so,to induce
them to part with the goods. Upon tbe simple
statement of an interested party, who, perhaps,
was Jnst as anxions to sell his goods as the other
person; .was :to buy them, the defendant
Is arrested, put in jail, and must
await the law’s delays to bring the statement be
fore tho Court to get his discharge. In my
opinion, tbe Court should exact the moat
positive evidence of the intent to defraud before
panting an order of arrest, and it would proba
bly be much better if tbe laws reqnlred that where
one sells upon credit he sbonld require a written
statement of the customer's financial condition at
the time of the purchase, in order to entitle him
to the benefit of laws relating to imprisonment
for debt Experience has shown that the laws
are. mostly, need os a means of oppression. In a
majority of cases Instructions arc given the officer
making tbe arrest to accept a certain amount, if
the party is willing to settle; and sbonld ho eleet
to go to jail rather than pay np, the plaintiff, his
connsel, or some of his friends are running after
tbe party Immediately, In order to compromise
matters. lam certain that, on an average, the
amounts collected from parties arrested will not
pay tbo expenses of collection.”
Foriietli Congress—Third Session.
CLOSE OF YESTERDAY'S FHOCEEDINOS.
SENATE.
Evening Session.— On motion of Mr. Sherman,
tbe unfinished business of Saturday, tbe bill to
repeal the Tenure-of-Offlce aet, was postpoued,
and tbe Currency bill, os amended in the House,
was taken up.
Mr. Sherman moved to non-eonenr in tho
Honse amendment, with a view to asking for a
committee of conference.
Mr. Morrill (VL.) appealed to Mr. Sherman to
let tbe bill be passed for a time, until there should
be a larger attendance of Senators, and Mr.
Sherman ogreed to do so.
Mr. Sherman called np the bill to abolish tho
office ol Superintendent of Exports and Draw
backs.
Mr. Fern' moved to amend the bill so as lo
abolish also the office of naval officer.
Mr. Ferry’s amendment was rejected, and then
the bill was pasted-
Mr. Sherman resumed his motion to disagree
to the Home amendment to tbe currency bill,and
to ask a committee of conference.
Mr. Cameron thought tho subject toe important
to be entrusted to a committee of conference, or
to be hastily legislated npon at the end of the
session, ana was in favor of leaving it to be dealt
with by the incoming administration. He there
fore moved to postpone the subject.
Mr. Morrill moved to amend the fourth sectioi
of the Honse amendment, limiting tbe issue of
circulating notes to banks in States having less
than their pro rata of banking circulation to forty
millions, and providing that an eqnal amount of
United States notes shall b« retired as fast as the
currency shall be issued.
Mr. Sherman said that tbo amendment, if
pressed, would lead to extended debate, whioh
might result iu defeating tbe bill for the session,
and, if so, no power on earth would be able to
prevent a sweeping re-distribution ol the cur
rency of the national banks.
Mr. Cameron re-etated his views of the great
importance of the subject, and predicted that tbe
time was near when the Government would sever
Its connection wilh the banks.
Mr. Corbett offered a loDg amendment, as an
additional section, which was rejected. Alter
further discussion, the Senate, by a vote ot 27
nays to 26 yeas, refused to concur in the House
amendment, and IheD, by another vote, asked for
a Committee of Conference.
On motion of Mr. Bherman, the bill to regulate
the appraisement and collection of duties oa inP
ports was passed.
Mr. Stewart moved to take up the constitu
tional amendment as it had come from the
House. Carried.
Mr. Stewart then moved to non-concnr in the
amendment of tbe House.
Mr. Buckalew appealed to the Senate to refuse
to yield to the dictation of the House, which had
got into Ihe habit of having its own way in re
gard to all measures of a political character.
Mr. Warner moved to concur Id the House
amendment.
Mr. Pomeroy objected to the Constitutional
amendment being passed now, when everybody
understood that the session this evening was to
be devoted to other business.
The President appointed as the Committee ol
Conference on the part of theßenate in regard to
the Currency bill Messrs. Sherman, Morgan and
Cameron.
Mr. Sherman moved to postpone the considera
tion of the Amendment, and to take np again the
bill to regulate the appointment and collection of
duties on imports.
Mr. Conkling opposed the motion, because he
was opposed to the bill, and also because be did
not wish to have It come up to-morrow after the
morning hoar as unfinished business.
The constitutional amendment was again takon
up, and after a brief discussion, it was again post
poned, on motion of Mr. Cameron.
fhc bill to incorporate the National Junction
Railway Company was taken np, and pending
action upon It, the Senate, at 11 o’clock, ad
journed.
Buubk. —A Joint resolution granting the right
of way to the Memphis, EL Paso, and Pacific
Railroad Company, from El Paso to the Pacific

Mr. Schecck called up the bill' Introduced by
him, and reported from the Committee of Ways
and Means, to strengthen the public credit, and
relating to contracts for the payment of coin,
moved to snspecd the rules so as to limit debate
to two hours, the speeches to be confined to ten
minntes each.
Mr. Scofield stated that the Committee on
Appropriations would endeavor to press the
Appropriation bills at day and evening sessions.
He reminded tbe House that the Legislative and
Jndictary bill and the Post-office bill were still
pending, ODd ttjat the Indian Appropriation bill
had come back from the Senate with a large
number of amendments, which would consume a
great deal of time, and he said that unless the
House would go at these bills to-day and keep at
them every day this week, thoy could not be
passed this session, and the next Congress
would require to have a long session after the 4lh
of March.
The Speaker added that there were seven privi
leged reports of committees to be made, some of
which would give riso to debate.
The House refused to suspend the rule for a
two-boure’ debato.
Mr. Schenek said he did not wtah to press snch
a bill without some debate, and moved to sus
pend the rules so as to have one hour’s debato.
After bo had made some remarks, the House,
refused (o suspend the rules for that purpose.
Mr. Schenek said he would; then trva to go on
with his remarks and move thh previous ques
tion on the piissogo of the bill.

Havana, Feb. 22.—The Seventh Battalion of
volunteers, which formß a portion of the present
garrison of the city, sent a deputation to the
Captain-General, and demanded that vigorous
measures be resorted to against the rebellion to
save the Island. When relieved of duty daring
tbe day the soldiers ot tbe battalion shouted;
“Death to traitors;” “Viva Espana.” These de
monstrations caused great agitation.which, how
ever. subsided towards evening. To-day the ex
citement was renewed. The volunteers sent an
other committee to the Captain-General to reite
rate tbeir demand for severe measures.
General Dulce replied firmly that he could not
permit any interference wilh political or military
plans of the Government. The Captain-General
has resolved to effect pacification on tbe island >
within the limits of tho law, and on this determi
nation he stands firm- The volunteers demand
that the revolutionists, who were arrested
anting the late riots, and whom they call assas
sins, be Immediately put to death.
Gen. Dolce replied that the courts must first
try these prisoners. He declares that he counts
on the endorsement and aid of Spain, and on the
lympathy and moral aid of the United States,
because he intends to act inaccordance with law,
and be believes, as a matter of policy, that
preclpltato action In the existing Btate of affairs
would be highly imprudent He is determined,
if it becomes necessary, to repel force by force,
although he would regret shedding fraternal
blood.
Commercial interests have suffered greatly
through the alarm created by the violent proceed
ings of the volunteers, aHd to-day business is at
a stand-still, paralyzed by fears which agitate
the city. Reinforcements fronr-Spaln continue
to arrive. Yesterday, 1,200 regular troops
landed.
Official reports state that organized forces of
rebels in the central departments are disband
ing, aDd the rebels there are presenting them
selves in large numbers to the authorities to re
ceive pardon. The insurrection at Sagua la
Grande, in the vicinity of Trinidad, Is ended.
The Spaniards taken prisoners by the rebels at
Bayamo were liberated, and have arrived at Ha
vana. Udacta, late Governor of Bayamo, Is under
arreßt in this city, and is to be tried by court
martisl on charges connected with the circum
stances of the surrender of his post to the rebels.
Advices from Port an Prince state that the
health ot that city was good. After the surrender
oi the towßß of Acquin, Salnave’s troops perpe
trated Indiscriminate slaughter. Haytien ships
of war were bombarding the rains of the towns
on the coast. Binae the raising of the blockade
by the French Admiral many vessels have arrived
at St. Marie, and the export trade of coffee was
recovering. It was reported that Cape Haytien
ships had surrendered to Gen. Saget.
An arrival from Porto Rico brings intelligence
that heavy rains have prevented cane-grinding,
and planters fear they will be nnable to make a
good crop. Vessels are unable to obtain cargoes
there.
Additional advices from St. Domingo represent
that republic was greatly agitated by revolution
ary pronunciamentos, which were making
their appearance in every part of the country.
The "province of Crebas was in open rebellion,
and in other provinces a guerilla warfare was
waged against Baez.
The revolntionlßts bad captured the town of
Ncbo Neaba. The commandant. General La
March, was killed. The rebels were threatening
the town of Asim, the capture of which would
give them an open seaport.
