SIR You were kind enough without

Since that time. the % flood gates
Of calumny in all directions have
been opened upon me. My abilities have

In question, and 1t seems 10 me that 4
public opinion adverse tony spaintment
has been aroused which might Hereafter
embarrass your administration, and per
h1ps impair my usefulnea upon the bench.
With perfect consciousness that I have
performed with clear hands and upright
purpose all the duties or the various
public of1cesto which / have been called,
and trusting TO time and d iust public
when better informed, for my yindica-
tion, respectfully ask you to withdraw
from the Senate my nomination for the

EXECUTIVE sRssIoN.
The House then went into Committee
Of the Whole on the Naval Appropriation
bill: 1tapproprlates $16,505, $50. ~
I Mr. Hale. who had charge Of the bin,
opened the discussion. BE stated In
wnat particulars the expenditures had
peen cut down. The amount appropriat.
cd In the bill was only about Q half million
more than was appropriated for the navy
In 1863, and all the reductions were made
with the assent Of the Secretary Of the
Navy who had contributed 10 forward
the efforts Of the committee in that direc.
uon.
Mr. Beck declared his belief that
the efficiency Of the navy could not
be kept up for the amount appropriated
IN the bill. BE had seen law appropria.
tion bills before, but they had always been
followed BY deficiency bills, that had been
done particularly In the year preceding
Ine nrst election OF Gen. Grant, but the
aext year congress had to supply the de-
4ciencies % the amount Of $28I0 I000, 600.
Inc same thing occurred in connection
WIN tne second election OF Gen. Grant.
.oa ~; T., Dawes reminded Beck that the
S3oIVgO,UOO deciciency came over from
PRESIDENT Johnson's administration.
Beck, leaving that subject went on to
criticise the Secretaryiof the Treasury for
lnttatng currency in violation Of the law.
Mr. Archer declared the bill to be q de.
!usion, and said that the amount Of $16!-
100000 appropriated by the bill must ne.
:esaarily cause q deficiency OF atl least
S5,OOO,OOO. He charged the COMMITTEES
IN Appropriation with having shown no

The contempt proceedings against ex-

escape came up this morning before JUS
tice Daniels. After the argument ibv th Q
COUNSEL Judge Daniels reviewed the case
and said that the language Of the COM
mitment was so unequiVocal that the
court could not resist the inference that
there was design by the Sheriff and his
deputy, Shields, not TO execute their duty,
and the case was one which called for
punishment, Public servants must obey
orders or the courts would be powerless
The court then inflicted the highest pen
atty allowed by the ttatute, $3.50 fine each,
and thirty days imprisonment in the,
county jail. N 5sFSl l5Ti FFlj

MEMORIAL ON NBANKRUPT LAWS. 4
The Board of Commerce Ia. o.day sdonted
q memorial to Congress representing that
the repeal Of the existing bankrupt laws
would be highly detrimental to ali classes
OF the mercantile Community, and that
the law had better be amended In some
important particulars. The memorial re-
commended that Q larger proportion Of
creditors be required to place q debtor in
bankruptcy, and that the property Of
debtors be better secured to creditors and
that stringent provisions be adopted TO
avoid delays Of the law, and great ex.
penses attending 1t which are prejudicial
to both debtors and creditors. An amend-
ment was agreed 70, that . safeguard 10
made to protect the bonafed purchaser
OF property sold by bankrupts.
A series OF resolutions condemninp the
present revenue laws were adopted, and q
committee appointed to present them to
