DY WESTERN UNION LINE.
EASTERN DISPATCHES.

New York, August 3.-The Tribune ;.
Washington special says that the silver
bill has been managed by Bland witt
conspicuous inability from the start.
Now that the Investigation in regard
to the Black Friday scandal has been be-
gun. the Democrats will be likely to gel
at the bottom of it. and it is whispered
about in political circles that other scan
dals in which the President and his in.
innate friends are concerned are likely
to be brought to light.
Speaking of the adjournment of Con-
gress. the Tribune's Washington special
says; After the day Of adjournment ar
rlves, and during the last five days of
the session, it is in order under the rules
OF the House for any member to move to
suspend the rules at any time after the
morning session; thus making those days
a continuous succession of Mondays in
legislative practice. The experience of
both Republicans and Democrats on the
last two or three Mondays has not been
such IS to make the representatives of
either party anxious for the rule to 20
into operation. 1t is understood there
fore, that Morrison has concluded to
postpone the reporting of his resolution
until on Friday or Saturday, in order
that the time between its adoption and
final adjournment may be as brief as
possible. 1t is by no means certain tn at
the Senate will agree to the House reso-
luton fixing the time of adjournment
after it is passed by that body. Senators
as general thing, have not so much to
call them home at this season of the
year as Representatives, who find it me-
cessary first to look after their nominal
ing convention. and secondly, il they are
fortunate enough to be placed on the
ticket to take charge of the campaign.
Several important matters still remain
to be disposed of in the Senate before
that body consents to adjourn. One of
these is the report of bounties, common
condition of affairs in Mississippi, which
will be made Saturday, and upon which
che Senate will naturally desire to debate
at considerable length before taking &C.
ton upon it. 1t may, il the Republican
Senators also feel that the House has
been responsible for the unusual length
OF session this year. and it is now their
turn to have something to say about the
adjournment. It would not be at all
strange if Morrison's resolution, provid-
ed it should be sent to the Senate the
last of this week. If so it will be re-
ferred to the committee or laid on the
table and allowed to rest there for the
the present.
The Tribune's Washington special
says: The political campaign apparent
ly re.opened in the Houre to-day with q
remarkable speech delivered BY Lamar
to which Garfield will reply Tomorrow;
how long the discussion thus sprung
upon the House, will continue no one
can tell. Lamar has long desired to
give to the country judicial and dis
passionate review of the southern
question and bis discussion of it to-day
will be received by every one, without
regard to party as the best presentation
OF 1t that has thus for been made from
his point of view.

the body of Frank Jewett, late. artist on
Frank Leslie's illustrated newspaper.
