WASHINGTON, March 10.
SENATE.

Mr.. Ramsey, from the COMMITTEE on
Postoffices; reported the House Dill
Furnishing by fine and imprisonment o.
parties contracting to carry mails and
then failing or refusing to carry out the
contracts, with amendments. The oo'
ject OF the bill is to break up the sys
tenn of straw bidding
Mr.. Trumbull rose to personal ex'
planation, and sent to the desk to be
read an extract from a Washington
letter in the Republican Banner, pub
lished in Hastings, Michigan, charging
that Senator Trumbull had illegally
pocketed $4,000 fee in.the McArdle
case, in the Supreme Court, having
been employed by President johnson
to represent the United States, and
charging further that his vote on the Inn
peachrRent trial was influenced by this
fee and calling for an investigation into
the matter by the Senate.
Mr.. Trumbul then said that during
seventeen years service in The Senate
he had not before descended to a
personal explanation. although he had
often been misrepresented and calumnl-
ated. Mr.. Trumbull continued. lie
denounced the charge as malicious and
preposterous. He produced letters
showing that he was employed not by
Johnson, but by Secretary Stanton and
General Grant two months before the
articles of impeachment against John
son were prepared and that his fee was
fixed by Secretary Stanton. lie argued
that his employment in the matter was
perfectly legal and proper. He charged
that the letter was written by man in
the employ of the Government and
iutimated that the charge had
been made for the purpose OF
injuring him because he was hostile
to the influence by which the man was
kept in office. He also referred to the
resolution offered by Mr.. Chandler some
time ago for an inquiry whether any
Senator had taken a fee from the United
States contrary to law, and said that
when the authors o! these ISLANDERS
discovered that he had been employed
by Grant instead OF johnson, they
would not ask again for an investigation,
but, like Shiny snakes. would crawl to
their dens.
Mr.. Chandler replied. He denied
that he had ever thought that Trum'
bull had ever been employed by Mr..
Johnson, AID said his object was to
ascertain whether the Senator had vio
lated the laws. He still believed that
he had done so, and as TO Mr.. Trum-
bulls personal alluson to him be hurled
back the slime on its Shiny source.
The Vice President called Mr.. Chan.
dler to order.
Mr.. Sherman then addressed the
Senate in explanation of the tariff bill
Mr.. Scott followed Mr.. Sherman in g
lengthy speech on the tariff, contending
that q greater reduction could be made
in the tariff than reported by the
Finance Committee.
The tariff bill was then temporarily
laid aside and number OF bills passed
including the following: To extend the
time for the completion Of the Portage
City and Lake Superior Canal au
thorizing the appointment Of Paymastei
General Of the army.
The Senate then adjourned till Mon
| day.

HOUSE.

Mr.. Schofeld offered resolution,
which was adopted, instructing the
Committee on Commerce, in carrying
Quit the resolution OF the House, of
January "A, directing certain inquiries
concerning injuries TO commerce by
reason ofrailroad companies or monop,
olies; to inquire particularly into the
nature, extent and object OF an alleged
combination OF railroad interests,
known as the Southern improvement
Company, designed to control all ave,
nues OF transportation from the oil
region in Pennsylvania to the seaboard,
to the oppression and injury Of the
producing classes.
Mr.. Cogblan introduced resolution
calling upon the Secretary OF the
Interior for information as the extension
of the Round Valley Indian reserva,
ton. Adopted.
Mr.. Hambleton, of Maryland, from
the Committee on Commerce, reported
adversely on the bill relative to legaliz.
ing certain acts OF the Maryland and
Georgia Legislatures in relation to port
charges, and it was tabled.
Mr.. Beatty. Chairman OF the Com
mittee on Printing, made a statement
in reference to reporting and publishing
the proceedings Of Congress in the
Globe, and in reply to the articles pub,
lished by the proprietors, he said the
committee had prepared bill which
would provide permanently for reporting
and publishing the proceedings, and
which would reduce the expense Sl5O,-
600 a year, but the proprietors OF the
Globe were not satisfied with that, and
were lobbying on the floor and appealing
to the sympathies Of the members
in order to get the House to
pass, under a suspension ofthe rules, on
Monday, the Senate bill which would
give them s75 900 more than the work
was worth. He asserted that it was
the fault Of the publishers themselves.
If they had been compelled to borrow
money TO carry on their business it was
because they would not agree to any
fair and reasonable terms, but wanted
more compensation now than they had
ever received.
The House then resumed considera-
ton OF the Senate bill to extend time
to the State of Wisconsin in the COM
pletion of a railroad line from St. Croix
to Lake Superior.
Mr.. Ketchum, who reported the bill,
being entitled to the floor to close the
debate, divided the time between the
opponents Of the bill.
Messrs. Strong and Butler, Of Massa-
chusetts, replied 10 the point made
yesterday by Mr.. Conger as to the old
States having received all the public
lands within their limits, and the new
States having received none except by
special grants.
Mr.. Strong spoke Of corporations OF
cormorants poluting the! halls of Con.
gress, and said if anything would revive
the Democratic party, it would be its
presumed opposition to the land grants
and the presumed support Of them by
the Republican party.
Mr.. Dunnell supported the bill and
called attention to the fact that although
theCommittee on PublicLsnds approved

wings and nobody noticed that Johnnie
had gone. His father and mother
We're starting for u drive, and Rover,
the great, black, shaggy dog. got ready
to run behind the carriage, rs he III
ways did.
Johnnie ran after the butterfly till he
was tired of running, and the pretty
creature was tired of being chased;
then it flew high up in the air, and the
little boy gave UP all hope OF catching
it.
AS he turned to go home, he spicd n
beautiful pond lily growing i'll the
brook, so near the bank that he
thought he could get it with Il stick.
So he found Il crooked stick and reached
out with it to catch the pond lilly. lie
was such Il little boy, and he had such
n little stick, that he could not reach
far enough to throw his weight over
the edge Of the bank, and down he went
into the water.
In tho mean time his father and
mother had driven off, and Rover ran
behind, as he always did. After they
had gone little way, Rover left the
carriage and ran back, no one knew
why. He ran down the hill to tho
brook, and jumped in, just as Johnnie
screamed for help to the people half Il
mile off who couldn't possibly hear
him.
Rover was strong dog, and he took
hold of the little boys clothes and pull
ed him up OH to dry land, before he
had been hurt at all. He cried Il little
because he was frightened, then he
went back to the house for dry cloth
ing, and was not q bit tho worse for
the wetting.

THROWS STREAM
Thirty FEET !!

The great advantages possessed by these
machines is their simplicity, cheapness,
availability and complete mastery over fire.
They are charged with seven gallons of wa
mon soda, and in this solution is suspended
a small lcaden bucket filled with sulphuric
acid. Thus charged, they are set away for
use. At the moment needed, the acid is
emptied into the water by llpsetting the
bucket containing it, and the machine is
ready for use. 1t throws Il stream thirty
feet, Of mingled water and gas, and is easily
transported and worked by one person.
One railroad in Illinois has $50 of these
machines, another 100, Chickering Il Sons,
Boston, haye 30, and recent law of Con-
gross requires their use on all water crafts
i'll the United states. The town Of Homer
WAS recently saved from destruction by one
of these machines.
