The Senate then passed tho House bill requiring
the Navy Department to furnish ships for the trans
portation of all supplies contributed i'll aid Of the
suffering people of the South
The consideration of the resolutions of the Mary
land Radical State Convention, asking Congress to
insure the State republican form of government,
occupied tha first hour of the session IN the House
to-day Mr. Thomas of Maryland made very eO-
quent and able appeal in support of the resolutions
and in behalf of the loyal men of his State. Mr.
Brooks replied to Mr.. Thomas in rambling speech
on the meaning of the phrase "a republican form of
government He taunted the Ohio and New-lork
members about their Legislatures having recently
denied the right of suffrage to the cOored men. This
point of his argument somewhat netted the Ohio
and New-York Radicals. but then their only reply
was silence. The resolutions were finally sent
to the Judiciary Committee. The question of
adjournment was discussed for more than an hour,
Schenck occupying most of the time i'll predicting
the possibility of peril if Congress shOnld adj
iOum over until December. Mr.. AlllSOns resolution
then appears to adjourn until September and If no
quorum then appears to adjourn until December /,
was finally agreed upon. When this resolution
reached the Senate that body was voting on SINH
lar resolution, providing that the House adjourn on
Saturday until the first Wednesday i'll July,
and then in case no quorum appears until
December AlsOn's resolution not acted on,
And the House refused to in the Senate resou
ton, and Conference Committee, composed OF
Messrs. Bingham Rep, Ohio, Schenck tRep., ONO.
and DOnnelly REP, Minnl, were appointed Ot the
Joint Conference Committee Fessenden Edmunds,
and Bingham are favorable to an adjournment over
until December. The others are for no adjournment
Mt all, if it can be helped. 1t is understood the
Senate resolutions viii be finally agreed upon with
more definite provision regarding the power OF the
President of the Senate and the Speaker OF the
House to secure quorum for the proposed session in
July. should it be necessary number of bills max
Ing appropriations were rushed through in the last
half hour of the sessions. The Clerks OF the Com
mittees of the XXXIXth Congress were allowed one
months pay for supposed services rendered during
tba nresent session. The iron-clad Camanche BILL
giving her contractors $40 losses sustained by
building was passed. A bill about mileage was
acted on 1t was funny TO see how quiet and atten-
tive members became when the word mileage was
read from the Clerks desk. No other business at
tracted attention as long the subject Of mileage
was before the House. The House adjourned al
D. m: Mr. Scofield when The motion to adjourn was
made, asking the Speaker if there was any money
left in the Treasury.
Both the Houses passed to-day joint resolution
directing surveys to be made by ali officer OF En-
neers for ship canal around the falls of the ONO
