WASHINGTON June 30-Sendte-The resolu
tions Of the Tezas reconstruction convention mar
rating the disorders and murders in that State
were referred to the military committee.
Thos. W. Osborn, as senator from Florida wa.
seated by vote OF 50 to @.
The civil appropriation bill was resumed and
discussed till adjournment.
House Several purely political motions, re-
ferTing to the finances, were introduced and dis
cussed without definite action. Ii is evident that
the object of the Republicans is to make finance
the paramount question in the approaching con.
test, ignoring or making secondary the condition
Of the South under the reconstruction acts.
The credentials of the Florida representatives
were referred TO the committee on elections.
The river and bsrb0r bill was passed without
amendment affecting the South, and goes TO the
Senate.
A joint resolution to adjourn to the 18th of July
passed-9l to Al.
The Alaska appropriation bill was taken M.
when night session was ordered. and the House
took a recess.
Numbers of the Southern delegates continue
passing northwsrd. Among those visiting the
president to-day were ColonelsW. A. Reed and
Arthur Hood. of Georgia. The crowd at the
White House was too large for pointed couyersa-
ton, but all the delegates found an opportunity
to cay word of condemnation of the treatment
OF the Columbus (Gs.) citizens imprisoned at
A full but brief cabinet session was held to-
day.
The sentiments Of the Southern delegates give
glow to Hancock's prospects, though the under
current for Chase is quite strong.
Grant has departed westward with his family
Gen. Rawlings officiates during Grants absence.
Internal revenue receipts for the fiscal year end.
ing to-day sl93. 600, 900.
The Senate today went into executive session
but did nothing. Action of any kind, in an exc.
cutve way until after the presidential nomination,
is improbable.
The Senate tabled the House resolution to ad.
journ till the 18th proxmo.
Politics to-day is at absolute stand-still. Vo-
lent partisans OF the different candidates still keep
up their old confidence, but even n sporting cir
cles no clue can be had. The issue seems TO be
so great as to be considered sacred by the sport
ing fraternity.
The proceedings in the Louisiana legislature
yesterday excite serious apprehensons among
the more moderate Republicans that the people Of
the North will not sustain the action of the officers
Of the Senate and House. The step in advance is
regarded as too long. The application of the
test oath is regarded IN nearly all circles extra
judicial, while the nulhfcation of Grants orders
by Louisiana functionaries, as indicated by the
dispatches, excites laughter, indignation and ap.
prehension. The reporters have sought in vain
throughout the city for party who fully indorsed
what is deemed the extraordinary and oppressive
action of Louisiana State officers.
