'o WASHINGTON, February2.
Missiaaippf.
The bill for the admission Of M;ssias;nn;
Nss considered by the Senate Judiciary
Committee to-day, but as some Of the ne
cessary documents were not before them.
the matter was postponed until the mex.
meeting. The eommitte will likely repor.
the bill without imposing new conditions
but the Senate will probably include some
amendments similar to those in the Virgi'
mis- bill, forbidding alterations in the Con
stitution hereafter. Should the Virginit
senators vote against these conditions, it il
probable that they may be rejected, as they
were only carried by one majority in the
Virginia bill. -
The Reconstruction Committee Of the
House is to have meeting on the same
subject next Friday.
Tie September Gold Panic.
Dir. Calender, the bank examiner of the
Tenth National Bank and its operations
pending the September panic, was before
the Banking and Currency Committee to,
day. The committee also examined Mr.
Barttell (private secretary of Mr.. Bout.
well), who wrote the dispatch for the sale
Of four millions of gold. The operator who
sent the message testified that nobody here
but himself saw the dispatch from the time
it was handed him until it reached the
operator in New York, and that it was sent
direct to Butterfeld, and was not taken of
the line at any point before reaching New
York. The telegraph operator in New York
who received the dispatch is to be examined
tomorrow.
The Navy.Yards.
The House Appropriation Committee to-
day agreed to the transfer of funds in the
various Bureaus in the Navy Department
to the funds Of the Construction and Engi-
neering Bureau. It will be reported to-
morrow, and will pass both ORANGES Of Con-
gress this week, thus enabling the work tc
be resumed in the various navy-yards.
As soon as the resolution authorizing the
transfer of moneys to the Construction and
Engineering Bureaus from other bureaus
in the departments was passed, Secretary
Robson sent Geographic order to the
commandments of oil the nayy-yards t.
place the men at work again. The Presi
dent informed Secretary Robson to-day
that he would approve of the act authori
zing the transfer as soon as it is presented
to him.

The Committee on Mines and Mining has
appointed subcommittee, whose duty il
shall be to inquire if there be not some
means to prevent such occurrences as thai
Of the Ayondal> disaster.
speech-HIa ing i'm the House.
1t is a subject of remark by strangers
and matter of complaint among members
of the House, that in the debates in that
body many a well-turned sentence and
many well-taken point is utterly lost OF
marred by an untimely interrogatory put te
the member who has the floor delivering q
speech. These Interruptions are often made
deliberately to destroy the effect Of we'll
conceived and telling argument.
A case in point occurred to-day, SO fer az
the vexatious interruption is concerned
While Mr.. Knott, of Kentucky, was making
speech member broke in upon him with
the question, " Will the gentleman yield
IN noe for few moments ?" The Kentucky
member repfies.'hat he had been upon that
floor for three years, anu hadn't troubled
the House with speech, and he should be
permitted to proceed without interruption
that there are some members on the foo
Of the House who, if they had been pre-
sent at the delivery of the sermon upol
the mount, would have stopped the Saviour
and asked him to yield to them. The re
buke was much enjoyed by the members
and caused hearty laughter.
Mr.. Sesar.
Hon. Joseph Segar's card published il
to-day's Dispatch charges your correspond
emit with malignant and malicious misre
presentation as to his prospects for sea
in the House as representative at large
So far as the legal aspect of the cas-
is concerned, Mr.. Segar will find, i
he will read the Globe, that the sugges
ton of your correspondent was but tn
iteration of opinions expressed by member
of the Committee on Elections and Others
From the best information obtainable
does not appear likely that Mr.. segar vi
be allowed to take the seat, and yet he ma,
90. Il; end, if It be lawful, your CORES
pondent will rejoice, because he has bee
chosen by the people of Virginia. Tn
irate gentleman ia mistaken as to my me
tive. I could have no malicious feelin
against him. Your correspondent does nc
know Mr.. segar personally.
