BY Last Nights Mails.


In the House of Representatives at Wash
ington, Monday, the chief event of the day
was the passage of Mr. Buffers resolution,
presented by Mr.. Cobb. instructing the
Ways and Means Committee to report bill
levying ten per cent tax on the interest OF
all classes of government bonds. Mr.. But
Ter tried the same thing himself last Friday,
but got only forty-two votes. Monday, how
ever, after sharp struggle to get rid of the
resolution by tabling or de erring it, it was
carried through by 80 yeas to "a nays. The
Democrats voted solid for the proposition
The Republicans were go for, 54 against.
Everybody seemed surprised at the large
vote it received.
The st. Louis Democrat says:
With a doleful and dismal air the press
agent at New Orleans announces that after
Monday Louisiana will have colored
man for LieutenantGoyernOr.o "Vell, vot
Of it:n If he is capable, honest, and wor-
thy, why not? win the river stop running
Will the sun stop shiniug-will crops stop
growing because of that dire catastrophe2
Or will any white man in the State become
less white on that account? Which is better,
Dunn, the colOred man, or Monroe, the
rebel?
1t is reported that Mr.. 7. N. Clarke, Of
the printing division of the Treasury De-
partment, has fled caveats in the patent
office covering the style OF stamps adopted
by the House in the new tax bill. Caveats
for patents on stamps were filed q nam
Der of weeks before the bill passed. The
Committee of Ways and Means placed
descriptions of the stamps to be reported
by them in Mr.. Clarke's hands two or
three months since. The committee will,
summon Mr.. Clarke and inquire into the
exact nature of his caveats, as they do
not not deem it advisable to adopt
stamp upon which private parties may
hereafter obtain a patent.
A special from Baltimore says the bolterrs
electoral ticket, whose representatives were
refused the right to vote in the Chicago
Convention as delegates from Maryland,
has been withdrawn, and they pledge
themselves to unite with the regular Re-
publican organization in the support of
Grant and Colfax. The bolters' ticket was
headed by Judge Bond, and opposed by
every Republican journal in the State,
nearly all supporting the action Of the
regular organizations.
The river and harbor bill as reported Mon.
day in the House, gives twenty thousand,
dollars for repairing the postoffice and Gus
tomhouse at Chicago; thirty thousand dol
lars to finish the postoffice and customhouse
at Springfield, illinois; seventy-fiEe thousand
dollars for surveying the northern and
northwestern lakes, and twenty thousand
dollars for q bridge to connect the arsenal
al Rock Island with The city.
In the course of hunting up evidence con-
cerning the assassination of Ashburn, /
several persons, both white and black, have
been arrested, one being a white woman.
The military authorities offered reward Of
$1,000 for the arrest and conviction of the
ringleaders of the attack.on Ashburn, and
$1,000 forthe arrest and conviction of each
of the other parties concerned. Preliminary
Investigations, it is said, implicate upward
of forty persons in the murder.
The Washington correspondent of the
Louisville Courier telegraphs:
General Rousseau will not return to the
Pacific coast. 1t is understood that Secre-
tary Sehofeld will tender him new COM
mand which will embrace one or more OF
the Southern States and headquarters at
New Orleans. Probably the Department of
the East will be put at Rousseau's disposal
if he prefers it. q
The St. Paul papers state that II. N. Rob-
inson, who has been arrested for commit
ting diabolical outrage upon little girl,
which very nearly resulted in her death, at
Chaska, Minnesota, about a week since, has
confessed the crime. There are fears that
the anger of the people will overcome their
discretion and that he will be iynched. To
prevent this he is constantly protected by
guards.

There seems to be little doubt among
those best informed regarding the PRESS

will include all the exceptions made in his
previous proclamation.
