Mr.. Brooks, Of New York, desired to offer an
amendment giving the appointment OF the commis-
siohers to the Speaker OF the House and President

MIR. Orth asked Mr.. Brooks whether with that
amendment he would vote for the joint resolution.
Mr. Brooks replied that he would.
The Speaker remarked that the discussion was not
in order except by unanimous consent
Mr.. Bingham objected.
Mr.. Brooke remarked that the President or the
United States had been charged with malfeasance
in regard to this matter, and that IL was out Just
and right, If commissioners were TO be appointed,
that the appointment should come from Congress
Mr. Garfield inquired whether the motion was ia
such shape as would permit amendments to be
offered TO the resolution.
The Speaker replied that IL was not.
The motion was to suspend the rules and pass the

The Speaker replied that the House had given the
Committee Of Foreign Affairs the right TO report on
the subject on five days notice being given and that
that notice had been given last Wednesday
notice had not been authorized by the Committee OF
Foreign Affairs, and, second, that five legislative
days had not intervened.
Both points were overruled by the Speaker.
Mr. Orth said that he had been instructed by the
Committee on Foreign Affairs TO report back the

THE LUMBER TRADE AT PUGET SOUND From the
special report Of W. Minor Roberts, Esq, U. S..
Civil Engineer the route of the Northern Pacific
Railroad, we take the following paragraph From
Seattle we steamed over to Port Gamble or Tea Kd
let where we found important saw-mills, belonging
to Pope and Talbot-the largest now on the Sound.
These mills have made one hundred and fifty thou
sand feet board measure IN twenty-four hours.
When their new gang saws, now nearly finished
are complete, their capacity will be two hundr I'D
thousand feet per day. This firm owns and sails
seventeen vessels to San Francisco, the Sandwich
Islands, etc. They have had eight vessels at time
loading lumber at their wharves. They employ a
steam-tug for towing large RATS ! present these
statistics in order to convey idea of the magni-
tude and importance OF eumber business OF Puget
Sound. Without describing each locality where
there saw-mllls, may state that there are ten
establishments now running, whose average daily
product Is from five hundred to seven hundred
thousand feet, and the number and capacity OF the
mills on the increase and the business is yet in
It's infancy,

SILEN ICE THOSE DREADFUL BELLS!
ONE of the first reforms instituted by the
Fire Commissioners will be, we hope, the
suppression of that absurd practice, the ring
ing of bells. Heretofore the burning out of
sooty chimney caused most indiscriminate
and violent jangling of every bell devoted to
fire purposes within q certain district, while
the breaking out of really serious confagra-
tion set the whole city to resounding with the
''discordant melody" of tons of metal. The
plea for this nonsense was that the volunteers
were scattered, perhaps widely, and had to
be summoned to their self-imposed
duty. 1t mattered not that by this ringing
children were sent into commissions, nervous
and old people scared, and the sick, to whom
an hours quiet meant perhaps restoration to
health, if not life itself, driven wild with
pain. 1t mattered not that by this ringing
crowds of persons whose proper places were
anywhere else than at the fire, and who ran
whooping and bowling along the street, or took
advantage of the confusion in the neigbbor-
hood to plunder adjacent houses, were inevi-
tably called out and notified that their time
was come. These things we're necessary
evils, said the tiremen, for the bells must be
rupg.
Under the new regime no such plea can be
entered. The more the neighborhood of a
fire is kept clear, the better can the proper
persons paid TO put the fire out perform their
work. These persons will all be employed
specially for this purpose, and will not there
fore be scattered over the city at other work.
No bells will be required to call them to the
engine-houses, and, therefore, no bells need
be rung. The less publicity given to the
fact of a fire, the less chance will the wort
portions of our people have for their nefari-
Gus plans. The children, the nervous, the
old, and the sick will easily spare them, and
their occupation will be utterly gone.
Those who made the successful effort to
establish paid department used as one of
their principal arguments the assertion that,
under different system from that which so
| long disgraced Philadelphia, crowd would
no longer be the necessary accompaniment of
every fire alarm. II they were sincere, they
will see to 1t that this most certain means of
drawing crowd be forbidden, unless in ex-
| ceptional cases like the gunpowder fire some
years ago.
The inclination to wake the 'horrid bells
springs from, as it produces in others, a sort
Of animal excitement which most surely lea Is
to uproar and rowdyism. 1t is "grand fun
to arouse every sleeper for squares around,
20 gather upon the strests crowds which shal
keen up the excitement for several hours, and
then to read in the next days paper that &
false alarm of fire from box No. - led to 4
briekbat and pistol fight
In the name of civilization, let MS stop al
the bells we can. Then if the ''churoh-goipG
bell" must be rung, if the dead must b'
buried while the bell is tolled, if ''golder
bells" must peal for the promises of welded

GOVERNOR GEARYS NEXT PER
FORMANCE

IT may be of very little consequence what
Governor Geary may do in the future, but
his position is nevertheless sufficiently i'm
portant to endow with some interest the
rumor that he is courting the Democracy and
intriguing for their support in the next Sena-
torial election. Geary's political robes hang
loosely upon his maj este form. The Demo-
cratic journals alleged at the time he was
first nominated as a Republican candidate
that he had continued to avow Demo-
cratic principles up to the very mo.
ment when he commenced solici-
Ting the Republican nomination,
and we should not be at all estonished if this
charge was well-founded. The Governor is
true to John w. Geary first, last, and all the
time, so far as he is able to comprehend the
real interests of that exalted individual, but
he is regardless of all political obligations
which convenience or interest prompt him to
ignore. 1t would, therefore, not be surpris-
ing if he should drift back from the Repub-
licans to the Democracy; and there is no
doubt that he would pursue such course if
he could thereby minister to his insatiate
ambition. The Democracy, while they
are ready to fatter and encourage
him, are far too familiar with his incapacity
and inherent unreiability to confer on him
any position that is completely under their
control; but there is a bare possibility that in
the next Senatorial contest the Democracy
may hold the balance of power between jar
ring Republican factions in the State Legis-
lature, and that Geary, by combining few
detached Republican votes to the Democratic
forces, may become United States Senator.
In view of the inhiction of six years of the
administration of such weak,
vain man upon this unhappy
Commonwealth, we can scarcely believe that
six more years of his weakness and vanity are
to be drveled out in the United States
Senate; and the most probable conjecture is
that the pit he is digging now will prove his
political grave. But if the Democracy are
Determined to make him, in any sense, their
leader or champion, the Republicans can at
least felicitate themselves on the prospect
that lac will perform good service by
weakening, confoundipg, and disgusting
the ranks of the opposition. Power
less for good purposes, Geary when
in high position is more terrible than an
army with banners to the party he preteuds
to support He has done more to sap the
foundations of Republican ascsndaucy in
Pennsylvania than all the Democratic leaders
combined; and if the Democrats should reg ain
power it would be only fair that they should
also lavish honors upon Geary, SO that the
Republicans in turn would have an opportu-
nifty to recuperate. O..

Ir IS reported thst General Butler has IN his
possession several letters in the handwriting
of Admiral Porter, in which General Gnnt
is spoken of in exceedingly dispsrsgius terms,
and charged with incompetence, drunkenness,
and other offenses. We have no doubt that
General Butler does hold such letters, or that
they are of the character indicated, and if he
gives them to the public he will be doing no
more than his duty. 1t is perfect folly to
pretend to say that the publication of such

SOME YEARS AGO the Democracy thought
that San Domingo and the Bay of Samana
were indispensable to the welfare of the
United States, but now, when their utility is
vastly increased, the Democracy oppose their
annexation to this country. The leading
reason of this change of front is that the Bay
of Samana project originated in the old pro-
slavery times, and then the Democracy
favored it, as a scheme that would strengthen
slavery, while now, since San Domingo is
sought to advance the interests of freedom,
the Democracy oppose its acquisition.
