WASHINGTON, July 25.-Mr. Cox On. Y. J
asked leave TO offer resolution Ito be re-
ferred to the Committee on Rules) giving to
any committee charged with an investiga-
ton into the conduct of any officer of the
Government power to report at any time.
Mr.. Wilson Iowa) objected.
Mr.. Caulfield presented resolutions of the
Chicago Board of Trade, reciting that Con-
gress by reason Of inadequate appropria-
tions had crippled the Post Office Depart
ment, and urgently requesting Congress at
once to so legislate as to provide for tide
continuance of the fast mails. Referred to
Post Office Committee.
Mr.. Hurlbut (ll.) from Committee OF
Military Affairs, reported back the resolu-
tiOn directing the Secretary of War not to
issued to the convicted, unless such as to
satisfy every reasonable mind beyond a
doubt; that when he received that money,
he did it with the intention to have his
mind Influenced, AMI perverted thereby.
He alluded to the family Of General Bel
knap; and said the defence had offered no
testimony to shift the responsibility from
Belknay to anybody else; he was mar
himself, and his shoulders were broad and
able to bear it. Adjourned.

A Canal Over the Alleghenies

From the Philadelphia Times.]
For the space of one hundred years there
has been in almost perpetual agitation a
scheme of running canal over the Alleghe-
MES to connect the Potomac river and the
foughigheny. Gen. Washington first con-
ceived it, and became the first President of
the Potomac Company. The llustrious
Gen. Simon Bernard, Secretary of War of
Louis Philippe and staff officer of Ma
poleon, surveyed the route about 1917. The
canal has been completed to the coal field
at Cumberland, and sends coal to Washing
ton city for about fifty cents ton tolls. 1t
will cost to run it over the mountains $5O,-
100000 with very doubtful probabilities Of
securing water enough to float the barges
at that great height and effect the mon.
strous lockages. The last performance in
this direction is the private enterprise of
Senator Henry Davis. He has cleaned out
the channel Of the north branch of the Po-
tomac, a narrow, rock strewn torrent,
which rises at the Fairfax Stone, and is of
ten nearly dry bed. This river runs alons:
the Southern base If the Backbone Noun
tain, whose scarps are covered with large
timber. Davis hoped to make the steam
carry off the logs he should fell on the
mountains, where he has bought vast
tract of timbcr-from sc, 900 to $4,000 acres,
at less than two dollars an acre--but the
water has not been sufficient to fully carry
out his objects.

Enlisting to Fight the Sioux.

lrroIn the Utlca HeraldJ
The present war with the Indians is in
creasing the business at the War Depart
ment to very marked degree. Recruiting
is on the increase, troops are in motion, and
other heavy items of expense are of daily
occurrences. 1t is not easy to procure good
men for the service, dull as times may he,
but large numbers of dissipated youths are
offering. Some of the best families of New
York city have ruined sons who have en-
listed out of sheer desperation. One of
these, of whom have personal knowledge,
was under salary of 81 400 year, and
though unmarried, could not live on it. He
wasted his money drinking and gambling,
and then in fit of remorse enlisted.
Some Of these fellows make good soldiers,
but they will find the Sioux campaign differ
ent from their gay and festive scenes at
Delmonico's Thirteen dollars month and
uniform is now offered, with small increase
for good conduct. With regard to danger,
do not think the Sioux are half as de-
structive as the drinking saloons of Fifth
avenue.

A Pig in q Pulpit.

From the Pittsburgh (Mo) Lever.]
In Methodist meeting house in this city,
on Wednesday evening last, the prayer
meeting was broken up by the entrance of
a small pig. The sexton tried to eject the
pig, but the pig had no thought of abandon
ing the field, and as the sexton dashed down
one aisle the pig ran up another, occasion
ally running under the benches aud de-
stroying the solemnity of the occasion.
Meanwhile the preacher retained his speech
less gravity in the pulpit. But when the
pig evinced 80 much audacity as to climb to
the pulpit and take up position beside the
pastor, the latter fully realized the extrem-
ity to which he was ct last reduced, and hs
and his congregation retired.

WAsaIsGrox, July s5.-secretary Robe
enn Was before Mr.. Gloyer's Committee
this afternoon in response 70 an inyltAtlon
ssnt him yesterday. He explained that the
eection OF the act Of 1874, requiring special
agents of the Navy Department to be con
Armed, hsd been abrogated by succeeding
aets have passed out Of the statutes and
wss no longer in force when the appoint
menfs of Jay Cooke, McCulloch s. Co, was

provision in the act of 1854, which provid-
Cd for the appointment of special agents,
upon their giving security. He said that
the act Of 1874 had been left out of Bright
Keys digest, and was not IN force
until revised by the revised stat
utes. Of 1875 and that it therefore
was mot applicable to the case of Jay Cooke,
NcCulloch 4 Co.; that the law having BEEN
revived by the revised statutes OF 1873, the
new agents, Messrs. Seligman Bros. had
been sent to the Senate for confirmation.
He also explained that the deposits made
in October and November, of 1873, with the
house Of Jay Cooke, McCWloch & Co.
were merely in continuance Of the foreign
account Of the navy, for which he took
ample security, only giving them at the
regular time with security what would have
been given them without security. He
showed also, that the treasury draft issued
on the second of July, was paid at the New
York Sub Treasury on the Sixth of July,
and placed to the credit of the Navy De-
parment with Jay Cook Mccullough Il Co.

LONDON, July 25.-The agent Of the New
York Associated Press has had another in
teryiew with United States Minister Ed
wards Pierrepont in referenee to the extra,
ditjOn question Mr.. Pierrep0nt denied that
negotiations are progressing between Lori
Derby and himself, and said that the United
States took the view that Great Britain's
action broke the treaty Of 1912.
President Grants message WAS substan-
TALLY based upon that assumption, and be
relegated the question to Congress. Great
Britain, on the contrary cOBtends that the
treaty is unbr0ken, and that her action is
justified BY its provisions. Until this con-
fict of opinion is removed the negotiations
are unlikely to make progress; but
whatever steps are taken must necessarily
proceed to or from Washington. What, If
anything, Lord Derby may have received
from Sir Edward Thornton, the British
Minister at Washington, on the subject,
Minister Pierrepont said he was not inform
ed. Possibly instructions are row on the
way to him (Pierepont) Of which Lord
Derby may have notice, but he himself is
unadvised thereof. The agent asked Mr..
Pierrepont what Lord Derby meant by say
ing that he hoped to establish provisional
arrangement to tide over the possibly
lengthy negotiations. To which be replied:
81 was in the House of Lords and heard
that remark. think know what Lord
Derby meant, but that is for him to ex-
plain. not me but deny that am party
to ary negotiation. OF course cannot say
what may be passing between London and
