WASHINGTON, May %, 1870.
An UuprcdtnbIo Debate Killed On-Consrcss-
man tBrooks' Know Nothing Record vcn-
tiintcd.
When the Diplomatic ana Consular Appropriation
Dill came up IN the House to-day. an attempt was
made to revive the discussion OF the question OF
sending Minister to Rome. MIR. Kels y, however,
mauagtd to get the debate limited to ten minutes,
otherwise there would doubtless have been
q repetition of the scepe of last Thursday.
Mr.. Dawes was lucky enough to let the
noor and improved his time to convict
James Brooks OF having been connected with the
Know Nothing party IN 1855. lie seat 10 the CLERKS
desk and had read spe ch delivered by Brooks Ia
Cincinnati about that tlme wherein the foreign
population in general, aud the Roman Catholic
Church IN particular, was spoken OF In anything but
respectful or complimentary terms. The reading
created good deal OF amusement on both sides of
the House. Mr.. Brooks being the only person who
did not maniest dispositon 10 participate in the
fun. Brooks attempted to explain. lie did not deny
having made the sret ch, and his enorts to evade 1t
were received with derisve laughter On the republ-
can side.
The Union Pacif, Railroad Dim-uIty Settled.
Information reached here to-day that the
difficulty tetwecn the Union Pacific Railroad and
the authorizes of Wyoming Terri ory has been so
far settled that the Judge OF the Units States Court
there decided on Saturday to allow the company to
give bonds in the sum Of half million dollars for
their appearance In court to answer any civil
action for damages that may be brought against
them. At first the Judge decided that the company
should deposit half a million United States bonds
with the First National Bank of Omaha subject to
the order OF the Court as security otherwise he
would put the road In the hands OF receiver It Is
understood that he received a hint from the Attor-
ney General that his conduct approved by the
President. who was anxious to protect the govern
ment interest in the road. The suit against the
company, which is for damages in the non-payment
OF an alleged debt, will now take its in the
courts.
The Funding Bill.
General SchencK is expected to return from Ohio
Tomorrow, when the Ways and Means Committee
will proceed with the consideration of the Funding
bill. The impression seems TO be general with the
members that four per cent will be the uniform rate
OF interest agreed upon by the committee In the bill
which they Will report. Whether this will be sus-
talned by the House remains TO be 1t does not
meet the approval Of the Secretary of Treasury
for the that lie does not think the debt can be
funded at SO low rate.
Jni'ge Pierrepont's Successor.
The President will send 10 the Senate during the
present week the name OF the successor to District

terregnum shall occur but that the office shall be
filed as soon as vacated by Judge PierreponL The
success or has been determined upon, though
changes might occur between the present and the
time OF sending in the name that IL Is not deemed
prudent as yet to make 1t public. Those prominently
considered in connection with the appointment were
Messrs. Lyman Tremaine Judge Robertson, Noah
Davis and General Barlow.

Oming Territory, reports that the association has
agents all over the country, and Will be able to
muster large force. The original design, it has
been represented was to prospect for settlement the

looked with disfavor upon the project 1t is declared
that the purpose is to prospect the country slopes
