1t may be possible, but we have not
heretofore presumed to entertain the
suspicion, that Henry Ward Beecher Is
an Incorporate mau; yet when he tells
us, as he did Saturday, that he stood
like q man walking at midnight In q
nenagerie of serpents, who could not
step on right because OF an asp or an
anaconda" we must confess It looks
very much as though Henry had had
an attack Of the lim-jams. = Co'trier-

The Republicans are still agitating at
Albany and elsewhere the question of
the school funds. The only place where
this. fund has been In any danger is In
the Southern States, where the carpet
baggurs and BcalawRgs, under the pro-
lection OF the Republican party, made
out to steal most Of it. Are they trying
to get the schvol fand OF the Northern
States in shape for similar depredations?

Forty-fourth Congress.
SENATE.
WASHINGTON, June 8.

WASHINGTON, June 8.
During the morning hour, Mr.. Sherman
called up resolution proposing a common
unit of accounts for the United States of
America and the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland.
Mr.. Morrill, Of Vermont opposed the re-
solution, and it was laid over for further
consideration.
Mr.. Sargent from conference committee
on consular and diplomatic appropriation
bill reported that the committee have been
unable to agree and moved that new COM
mittee be appointed; agreed to. The char
appointed Messrs. Sargent, Howe and
Bogy as such committee.
The senate then resumed the considera-
ton of the legislative, executive and judici-
al appropriation bill. Amendments of the
committee on appropriations restoring conn.,
pensation of clerks in the Office of the Sec
rotary of the interior were agreed to.
The clause appropriating $4,000 for
rent of buildings for pension office and the
bureau of education gave rise to consider
able discussion, and an amendment was
adopted approplsting $4,000 for rent of
building for these offices and authorizing
the secretary Of the interior to obtain fire
proof building at a rent not exceeding that
paid at present. The amendment Of the
senate committee providing for the ex-
non 900 nf tho Indian pom nissionnra of1ioa
omitted in the bill as sent from the house
was agreed to other amendments Of the
committee restoring the salaries OF the en-
ployes in the general land Office, pension
and patent offices were agreed to.
Mr.. Hamilton opposed the amendment
appropriating 100000 for the actual ex-
penses of clerks detailed to investigate sue
pected attempts at fraud in the pension
office and said he thought such clerks were
too often bought up and paid to suppress
frauds after discussion the amendment
was agreed TO-.
On motion of Mr.. Edmunds the appro-
preparation for stationery, carpets, repairs
of building, painting building, ETC., for the
pension ofllce, was reduced from $25, 800
| to $l7, 800. All other amendments of the
committee restoring salaries Of employees
IN the bureau of education, poetofflce de-
partment and departments Of justice and
agriculture were agreed to. most all
amendments making appropriations for
surveyors general aud their clerks the CON-
mittee having reported in favor OF striking
out the second secti OF the bin providing
| for reduction of salaries Of clerks Of Sc
cond, third aud fourth class, and forbid
ding any officer or employee of govern
ment from giving or receiving any money,

A Probable Compromise,

NEW YORK, June D.
A Washington special says a disposition
to compromise on the appropriation bills
is noted on The part OF the two houses. A
certainty of receipts for the fiscal year
falling below the estimated receipts is made
the most of by the democratic, to induce
the senate to submit to the cutting off of
SAC, 900, 900 from estimated appropriations
according to Randalls desire. AT the
same time it ia admitted on all hands that
rigid economy is necessary, and 1t is also
clear that the house has made many reduc-
tons which can very properly be agreed to
by the senate, and which would be for the
good of the country. There is now dis
position in the senate to accept all such re-
auctions. 1t is also becoming clear that
the appropriation committee of the house
will not be able to hold a majority to-
gether for the contest to defeat the passing
of bills, till alter July 1.
