CONGRESSIONAL.
SENATE.


Washington, March 2s.-Edmunds
called up the bill to relieve S. ].
Sholfon, of Missouri, of political dis
abilities imposed by the fourth
amendment to the constitution.
Cameron moved to amend by adding
the name of Joseph Johnston, of
Georgia, man who deserved pardon
just as much as anybody else. Ed
munds said probably the senator
from Pennsylvania was not convers-
ant with the method adopted by the
committee in granting this relief.
The committee insisted upon it that
the person should make application
for that pardon, and then, if the COM
mittee found that the applicant was
deserving and had behaved himself
since the war. they considered the
matter. He asked Cameron to with
draw his amendment, and when
Johnston should make application
for pardon, it might be taken up.
The amendment Was withdrawn.
Whyte moved to amend by inserting
the name of Walter H. Jenifer, of
Baltimore. Edmunds said this name
was open to the same objection as the
other. Whyte said the gentleman
had made application early in the
session, and the committee had as
set made no report upon it. Ed
munds said the application was in
the committee on judiciary, and it
would stay there until the committee
got ready to take it up and consider
it, and they would not take it up out
of its order. The question was taken,
the amendment lost, and the bill
passed.
Frelinghuysen called up Senate
bill No. 13 to amend the l4th section
of the act to establish judicial courts
of the United States. Debate ensued,
but the morning hour expiring the
bill went over and the chair laid be-
fore the Senate the consular and dip
lomatic bill as the regular order. The
Senate proceeded to consider the bill,
the question recurring on restoring
Italy which was stricken out by the
House, and on nay and yea vote it
was restored. The amendment on res
toring sew eral posts which had been
stricken out by the House was taken
up Sargent explaining that in all
these amendments the committee
were only conforming to existing
law. Sherman and Hamlin urged the
necessity of conforming to existing
law and spoke against the general
principle ofengrafting new laws upon
the appropriation bills,pending which
the Senate went into executive ses-
sion and soon adjourned.
HOUSE.
Hoar introduced a bill to permit
the importation free of duty of books
printed in any foreign language. Re.
ierred. Gordon offered a resolution
directing the judiciary committee to
inquire into the eXpediency of pre-
venting the use of United States
mails in carrying lottery advertise
ments. Adopted. The Speaker laid
before the Housetwo communications
from the district attorney for the
District of Columbia, informing the
House that the grand jury had found
an indictment against Kilbourne, the
recusant witness in the real estate
pool investigation, on five counts and
another from the Sergeant-at.Arms
informing the House that the United
States Marshal for the District of COL
umbia had come to him and request

WASHINGTON.
The Silver Coin Bill.


Washington, March 2s.-The fiji
nance committee has reported sub.
stitute for Sargent's bill relative to
silver coin. The substitute provides
merely that the silver coins Of the u.
S. except the trade dollar, shall be
legal tender Mt their nominal value
for any amount not exceeding five
dollars in one payment. The bill in
troduced by Sen. Sargent and also by
Representative Piper, proposed not
only TO repeal the legal tender power
of the trade dollar, but to authorize
the coinage of new silver dollar and
make it legal tender for amounts not
exceeding twenty dollars. 1t was also
proposed by their bill 10 double the
legal tender power of other silver
coins.
Treasury Investigations
The Treasury Department has for
several weeks been making an inves-
tigation of the charges preferred
against Special Deputy Collector John
II. Lydecker, of New York, for many
years one of the best known officers
of the Custom House. 1t is charged
that Lydecker permitted serious ir-
regularities in order to show favor
itism to his personal and political
friends. Its understood that serious
charges against several well known
officers of the appraisers department
are also under Investigation.
The Same Old Thing.
The committee on expenditures in
the War Department examined A i.
T. Gray to-d,y. He testified that he
was promised 81 900 for securing q
post leadership for b. G.. Daniels, but
did not get the money.
j. Barrow testified that he got II
post leadership through the influence
of Gen. Dents brother-in-law.
]. d. Wooley, post trader at Fort
D. A. Russell, Wyoming, testified
that he paid ex-senator Thayer, of
Nebraska, 81 200 to go to Washington
three or four times when attempts
were made 10 remove witness, and
that he contributed $4OO to the Re-
publican campaign fund during the
last presidential campaign.
Gen. Reynolds.
The committee also heard testimony
against Gen. j. j. Reynolds, which
was to the effect that while he COM
manded the Department of Texas he
was in collusion with army contract
ors there, and that he abetted in the
preparation of extensive frauds on
the Government.
Bye-Bye, Belknap.
The House judiciary committee
have finished the articles of impeach-
ment against Belknap and will pre-
sent them, with supporting testimony,
on Thursday. They are undoubtedly
sufficient to convict him of corruption
in office.
Poor Dana.
The Senate was in extra session
three hours to-day on the nomination
of Dana, but no action was taken.
Senators, while asserting that they
have not made canvass of the
Senate, say that Dana will be re-
jected by at least thirteen majority.
In this event it is whispered in Sena-
torial circles that f. w. Stoughton,
of New York, viii be the next
nominee.
Combinations.
The Senate has confirmed John NJ j.
Coghlan, of California, rs chief Justice
of the Supreme Court of Utah, and
w. G. Fox, of Missouri, as U. &.
consul at Brunswick, Germany.

A DEAD LErEa.-Mr. John Furay,
special mail agent, has just received 9
letter, for proper disposal by. him, which
hasa very curious history. 1t was writ,
ten BY q well-known Nebraska man, four
years, ago, TO a dealer in counterfeit
rnoney'in an Eastern city. The writer
encloses So to pay for 800 of crooked
stuff, which hc says he can easily shove
off-$5 at time-on the Indians, to
whom he is selling whiskey. BE directs
the crooked money to be sent to him
through the mails in three different par.
cells, so as not to excite suspicion, and he
adds that he will patronize the dealer to
the extent of several thousand dollars
in the bogus currency. This letter never
reached its destination. Il got into q
crack in q mail car, and remained there
till the other day, when it Was found by
a workman engaged in repairing the car
at the shops in Chicago. It was handed
over to the proper authorities, who for
warded it toSpecial Mail Agent Furay,.
who will send it TO the writer with some
sound advice. The man Is said to be an
individual who, If accused of such an.
intent, would shoot in q second. He
will, therefore, no doubt be surprised TO,
receive his self-ascusiug letter Omahu
