WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 20.
SI7N ATI,


The senate committee on printing reported a
bill to provide for the payment of the accounts
for the reporting and printing OF the debates OF
the present congress.
Senator Cole, of California, endeavored to Sc
cure the consideration of bill oVerhaung the
Pacific railroad company for not having kept
their route open for travel and the mails this
winter
Before one O'Clock every available space in the
galleries was filled, as il was understood that
Mr.. Schurz would advocate the sale OF arms res
olution, and that Mr.. Edmunds would reply to
him. The reputation oil these gentlemen as
the best deDaterS, not only attracted crowds to
the galleries, but there were many distinguished
gentlemen on the door, including the venerable
Frank BLAIR, VINO sat at the SIDE oil Mr.. Sumner.
Mr.. Schurz sad the weakness oil cause is
apt 10 disclose llsell by tue nature OF tue argu-
ments used IN IT'S support: When we hear Il
case advocated bv lnSlnuatons ana nnuendoeS
with regard to the motives OF those who have
taken the olher SIDE, we are very apt to suppose
there must he something wrong. Nobody who
had listened TO the senators from Indiana aud
New YORK, MIR. Morton and Mr.. Conklng,
would deny that tue general rule applies TO the
present matter. The senator from Indiana tried
to convince the senate that there could be no
Suspicion connected win tue SAFE oil arms by
the government TO certain persons, because
every road out ol the republican party led INTO
the democraIe tlaughierl ana because the plat
uIlh u 'he nAissouil iiVcia'e uoes NOV ACCORD
with his views, and must, therefore, be
unrepu6hcan and radically wrong; and be-
cause he is IN favor OF the reelection of MIR.
Grant and IS sure TO nave It, lLaughter) The
senator from New YORK tired to convince us
that the SAFE OF arms must necessarily be Tree
ron blame, because there Is no impression
abroad thai there Is a military ring" in this
country; because there is an impression OF
the existence OF senatorial eapai Dent upon
destroying TINS administration; ana because the
democrats are circulating, IN New hampshire,
speeches OF certain republican senators in order
TO defeat the administrative party there. Will
not deny that these things were very eloquenty
expressed, and might have been very proper
elsewhere, but, certainly, they did not throw
much light on the question nov under discus
sion. With an air OF Triumph, the senator held
up a pampll let purporting to contain one Of my
speeches, saying that it was circulated by the
democratic party in New Hamshire, and was
producing greater effect than any other docu'

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 90.
CoNGREssMEN AND APPOINTMENTS.
Civil service reform was cold-shouldered in
in the house to-day. The committee having the
entire subject in charge was refused day for
the discussion of the subject. Under the rules
a committee when called has only two morning
hours in which it can report bills, and this be-
ing the seeond'morning which the civil service
committee has occupied, they endeayored to OBJ
tain unanimous consent for the consideration Of
their most important measure: the bill prohb-
iting members OF congress from making unsO-
lieited recommendations TO office, but the enc
mics of the bill would not allow this TO be done
Dickey of Pennsylvania and Bngham of Ohio
refused to consent TO any arrangement, SO that
Willard of Vermont, who had the management
Of the subject, was compelled to sacrifice his
committee clerks bill for the sake of the more
important measure. He withdrew it and
brought in the members of congress bill, which
now will be before the house in the morning
hour till disposed of. There is little hope of its
passage, but some of the ablest, oldest and pur-
est mem1ers will support it.
IN TIE SENATE.
There has been no such audience in the seu-
ate for years as that which came out to-day, TO
hear Senator Schurz speak on tie Sumner reso-
luton. Not only the ga lleres were packed to
sufocatiou, but the cloak rooms were full, and
large number Of ladies were on the floor OF the
senate MANY distinguished strangers were
present, and the audience seemed to be fully alive
to the fact that this is the presidential year.
and that the conduct of the administration was
under review.
The speech of Mr.. S:hurz was one of marked
ability, and as piece of oratory it was 4 bril-
liant success But it has not changed general
opinion here that he and Mr. Sumner have a
weak case, and that they will fail TO convince
the country that the administration has been
guilty Of violation of the neutrality laws.
Senators Carpenter and Nye will speak to-mor-
row, and we shall have comedy instead of the
serious arguments of the last few days.
DISTRICT AFFAIRS
The investigation into the affairs Of the dis
trict government is getting tiresome to the COM
mittee and to the people OF the district. The
parties conducting the investigation have so far
failed of establishing their allegations Scarcely
any of the respectable people of the district are
| in the movement Even those who believe the
district government has committed grave
blundcrs, have generally declined to have any
thing to do with the present investigation.
THE PACIFIC COAST MAILS.
There is a strong feeling in congress in favor
of providing means for the transportation Of
the mails to and from the Pacific coast, and if
,bo 10
will be done towards taking the mails Temporal
rily from the Pacific railroad.

" THE MECHANIC STREET BURYING
GRoDND.-Ihe Rip Van Wrinkles OF the hoard
of aldermen have, it seems, at last awoke to the
sentiment That the grave yards of past genera

After allowing the Mechanic street burying
ground to be a Disgrace TO the city and to hu-
manity, and TO all the amer feelings of our ma
lures, Tor more than thirty years. they are, all
at once, aroused into sentimental indignation
at the proposition Of the school board to do
what the Old town of Worcester has heretofore
done in two instances, viz; Appropriate unused
and unexpected grave yards 10 the purr oses oil

THEATRE. - Last night a capital entertain
ment was given in the Music hall by Mr.. Ores
wick and the Boston theatre company The
play was "Old No, the Man of the People,"
founded on incidents in the eventlul career of
Oliver Cromwell, the lord protector of England,
We have no space for an analysis Of the drama,
but can say that it is one OF more than ordinary
interest, is well constructed, has several very
exciting scenes, and the characters are strongly
drawn. Mr.. CrcSwick appeared in the role of
Cromwell, and gave an admirable portraiture Of
she man who "was mighiicr than kings" The
intrigues OF the cavaliers for the restoration of
the Sluarts form the network, Of the plot, and
there is fine scope for acting in the scene where
he is made to believe his own son has joined the
conspiracy for his murder. The seriousness of
the action is relieved by the registering hnmors
of Rochester Mr. Aldrich) and the stern quaint
ness of Carr (AIr Maguinns.) The entire sup
port was all that could be desired and the de-
sire Of the management TO give a completely
satisfying entertainment was manifest in the
careful attention @iven to the stage settings
The drama will he repeated tonight aud those
who may be induced to witness it on the strength
of our commentator will thank us for the
pleasure they will enjoy.
