WASHINGTON, June lin the House
the bill TO promote the efficiency Of
the army, to provide for its gradual re-
duction and 10 consolidate certain Of
its staff departments was considered.
Mr.. Smalls offered an amendment pro-
viding that in enlistment OF men in
the army or the merging of men into
other organizations, no distinction
shall be made on account of race or
color. Mr.. Randall objected. Mr.
Mackey moved to amend by striking
out the section which provides for re-
pealing the law requiring that enlisted
men of certain regiments shall be
cOlored men. Mr.. O'Brien objected.
Mr.. Mackey said if his amendment
was objected to, the practical effect of
the bill would be to discontinue the
enlistment of cOlored men in the army
until another war broke out II was
an indirect way of getting rid of col
ored troops. Mr.. Hurlbut offered a
substitute for the bill, directing the
President to appoints commission of
seven officers Of the army, of expert
ence and distinguished service, who
shall report to the President their
opinion of the best method of reorgan-
izing the staff department, with a view
to economy and efficiency; he said that
ever since the. army organized there
had been those who desired to crippled
Its efficiency and overthrow its high
sense of honor for political effect; he
called attention to the fact that one law
proposed to be repealed by this act,
was law providing that no person
who had served in the Confederate ser
vice should be appointed to the army;
that clause had been inserted becausel
a similar act had been passed by the
House. Mr. Banning, chairman of the
Military Committee, spoke in advoca-
cy of the bill; he was unable to see in
the bill anything but what demanded
of men on both sides of the House an
honest, just and full consideration,
that the army might be reorganized,
and the shame and disgrace brought
on the army of late, might be put a
stop to- Mr.. Hurlbut's substitute was
then rejected; yeas IS, nays A. The
bill was then passed by 100 yeas to 50
nays.

THE Washington correspondent Of
the San Francisco Bulletin, writing
under date of May 10, finds much fault
with the House postal appropriation
bill as passed, on account of its incon-
sistencies, contradictions and ruinous
reduction Of appropriations. But the
writer is compelled nevertheless, in
justice, to add:
To the credit of the Democratic ma
jOrity, however, it should be stated
that they compelled the committee to
withdraw its proposition for a material
reduction of the amount appropriated
last year for mail transportation on the
Star routes, ii. e. by horses and steam
boat , and the provision for readiust-
ment of the salaries of postmasters,
adopted on the recommendation of the
Department. will, if enacted, effect a
large saving of money in just and
practical way.

in that city. Two politicians of ma

Chamberlain, the well known turfman,
sat down to q quiet seance at draw in
one of our leading hotels. The play
grew heavy as time passed, and the in
terest became so intense that the sitting
lasted thirty-siX hours, at the close of
which Chamberlain was winner to the
amount of $4,000. He celebrated his
victory by a grand dinner q few nights
Precautions were taken to
keep the affair secret, but it leaked out

gamblers say that q game involving
nearly as large an amount of money

was Boston, and the contestants were

game lasted twenty-four hours, and
Morrissey was said to be the winner of
$4,000.
