The conference reports on the Armv Deficiency
Appropriation ana Miscellaneous Appropriation
dis were submitted and adopted. In the latter Ia
the appropr. alton for the New York Post once
| building. The only change In regard to this ap-
preparation Ia proviso allowing the Secretary OF
the Treasury to avail himself OF the contracts made
last winter II he should see proper to do so. The
amount OF money appropriated Is the same as here
| tofore stated.
At ten O'Clock the House was through with
everything except the Indian Appropriatonand the
Georgia bills. The former passed the House In the
afternoon and the House awaited the action OF the
Senate thereon. Towards eleven O'Clock tho gale
ries began to thin out, the heat being so
intense that 1t Was probably impossible for
the dense mass OF people to endure 1t
longer. Mr.. Cessna, OF Pennsylvania, proposed to
bring up contested election case, whereupon
BROOKS, Cox ana other democrats called 'Brng 1t
up now; give us anything to stop the jobbery that
Is going on In these appropriation bllls" but Mr..
Cessna did not Call up the case. Among
the amendments that orept into the Miscellaneous
Appropriation bill III conference was one providing
that 1t should require twothrds OF the Board OF
Aldermen of this city to reject the appointments Of
the Mayor. This was TO meet the dead
lock which has taken place between The
Mayor and the Aldermen, q majority of
the latter being radicals and the former being
conservative. Subsequently the radicals discovered
the mistake, and Dawes moved to reconsider the
vote by which thee conference report was adopted,
so as to strike out the Objectionable proviso. THIS
was agreed to- and the blu recommtted to the con-
| ference committee.
Alter several delays Butler submitted the confer.
| ence report on the Georgia bill Silence for once
tins evening prevailed in the House, and every
Der seemed to listen to The report, with Buffers
PLANTATION. Before Butler had proceeded far Farms
worth rose to make point OF order, but the report
was concnrred in. and Georgia is once more admit
| ted to representation In Congress. The House has
just adjOurned-a few minutes alter midnIght-until
tomorrow morning, at nine O'clock
Another Lively Brush Between Fenion and
COnklinE.
Fenton and Conkling had another lively brush
to-day during the executive session OF the Sena.e.
Fenton rose TO personal explanation, and stated
that he expected tomorrow, without fall to have In
his possession documents which will show beyond
doubt the new Collector OF your port, Tom Murphy
assisted at the Hoffman meeting in 1886 and drew
The resou tons which were adopted OH that
sion. He also stated that he regretted the remarks
made by Senator ConkliIg personal to himself and
had no doubt that he tConkling) would regret them
before long. Senator Conkling thereupon rose In
his place and remarked that he had nothing to
regret and nothing whatever to take back IN
speech on the nomination OF MIR. Thomas Murphy.
This ended the discussion, SO far as the executive
session is concerned. but whether further steps
VIII be taken remains to be seen. Fcnton Is not
supposed to be altogether satisfied with the result.
In connection with this subject am authorized
TO state that the reported remark OF Senator Conk

republicans who Oiicatcd officers OF the Hoffman
meeting In 1866 is without shadow Of foundation.

The nomination OF ex-senator Freiinghuysen as
Minister 10 England was sent TO the Senate late this
afternoon. At four O'Clock al executive session
was ordered when the question OF the immediate
confirmation or reference came up, and lei to de-
tcrmned opposition from Sumner. The Indignant
Senator from Massachusetts launched forth into
lively TRADE against the President, so far
as appointments were concerned, and alluded
10 the withdrawal Of Mr. Motley as an evil
dence Of vacation, which, In this particular
case, was specially Objectionable to Charles Sumner,
the mutual admiration community Of Boston and
Massachusetts, Sumner then delayed the Senate
with lively biographical sketch Of Mr.. Motley's
career, canvassed his attainment5 and applauded
his talents. Sumner had no objection to Mr.. FIRE.

and after making number OF unimportant con-
1rmatons at half-past four O'Clock the Senate took
recess.
Chandler made an effort during this evening, but
failed to an executive session. Summers de.
sign is to put on any action till the hour adjourn
ment, and thus rre'ent confirmation. The feeling
OF the Senate however, Is opposed to this, and as
the press of business Is another atempt
will be made.
