The Appropriations.

WASHINGTON, May 6.-In discussing the ap-
preparation bill yesterday, every important
amendment agreed upon in committee of the
whole was rejected, reducing the aggregate in
crease above the amount recommended BY the
committee of appropriations to nearly csc, 000
This amount is distributed throughout the
bill and applies to unimportanl items.
The Republicans voted steadily against
rejecting the propositions asking for m in
crease of clerical force in some of the depart
ments, as in some instances many of them de-
clined to vote at all. When the AMENDMENT
to increase the number of clerks in the surgeon
generals office, in order that applications for
pensions might be attended to promptly, came
up, there was great fight between the two
sides; the Republicans were solidly in favor
of it, and the Democrats, excepting seven,
among whom was Alex. Stephens, were opposed
to a final vote on the passage of the amend

care not what mere politicians may say,
the true craftsmanship of the country the true
sentiment and intuitive perceptions of the
people of the country, will refuse to believe
and refuse to base the future legislation of
the country on the unreasoning assertion
that any portion of the people are the enc
mics of the country. In his heart of hearts
the politician does not believe it. You men
of Massachusetts. you Republicans or Dem
ocrats, do not believe it. We here make
profert of ourselves. Do we present to you
the appearance of bloody minded enemies of
our country? Where is the evidence of that
hostility, what have we done, what have we
said, what votes have we cast, what revolu-
tionary spirit marked our course in the coun-
try's peril one year ago to Justify such an
imputation upon our fidelity to law, or to
the union of these States, or to the peace,
the honor and the prosperity of this govern
ment of our ancestors? 1t is true we have
had war. But that war was in one sense
war of theories of constitutional construc-
tons. That conflict began in the halls of
Congress, and ended at Appomattox court
AOuSSs IL Wd6 AAduOGu0I 8&1uS0 q war over
slavery. It began with the disappearance of
that institution from your midst, and ended
with its extinction on the American CONT
nent. What more was there left for us to
quarrel over? It is true, that like Betsy and
her husband, we were ''out," but like that
couple also, we quarreled and made up and
agreed to quarrel no more.
The question ought to be no longer
vIoo%t tka4 Sr r%n L j..
cation or conviction carried men to the one
side or the other during the war (for we
must respect convictions which are strong
enough to evoke the spirit of self-sacrifce
and are essential to great characters), but
the question must be, in the future, who has
proved himself the greatest patriot by doing
most for his whole country? [Applause.] I
know that no human power can long prevent
this consummation. The people will put
the politicians out of place who attempt it.
There are laws of human action as resistless
as thase of the material world. You can
no more check the flow of good will in
this country since the causes CT difference
are gone, than you can prevent the flow of
your Merrimac on its way to the sea. In
deed, more easily stop the river in its course,
for to do this you have only to build wall
as high as it's source as high as the snow
drift on the White mountains; while to pre-
vent people inhabiting the same country,
inheritors of the same memories and rights
and liberties, with the same blood in thei,
Veins, with common interest, common hopes
and common future, from coming together
as friends, you must build barrier between
them as high as heaven itself, for the Law
which compels it is the edict of the God Of
humanity. Great applause.
Oh no, my countrymen! The causes tina,
divided us are gone, and gone forever. TIL,
interests which now unto Us will unite u
forever. Applause.

The Presidential Investigatton.

Special Telegram to the Globe]
WASHINGTON, D. c.. May 5.-Within the past
"a hours there has been change in Democratic
opinions with regard to the Presidential in
vestigation. The wiser men of the party have
come to the front. The indications are that it
is possible that there will not be an investiga-
ton. The Democrats, for political reasons,
are guarding their secrets with the greatest
care. There are three influences within the
Democratic party now operating
TO DEFEAT THE INVESTIGATION.
There are: First. the better men in the party !;
Second, the rivals of Tllden for Presidency;
Third, the Southern Democrats who made the
electoral count possible. It il intimated that
David Dudley Field is to come here Immediate
~ and make secret effort for investigation.
1t has been ascertained that the plan of Repub-
licans Of the Ben. Butler stripe, who favor this
investigation, il to declare vacancy in the
Presidential Office. The scheme is to have the
investigation now, and next winter, when the
Democrats have control of the Senate, to pass
resolution declaring that there was no election,
refuse to recognize either Hayes or Wheeler,
and to recognize as President the then Presi-
dent pro tenn of the Senate, who might be elect
cd after March 4th.

WARRINGTON, May 5.-There seems to be some
uncertainty as to whether movement will be
made tomorrow or Tuesday a. to the Florida
Presidential frauds. Representative Springer
is mentioned as authority for the statement
that resolution to accompany the report on
Mr.. Blair resolutions opening the Presidential
question has been prepared by the committee
on judiciary. He has not seen the resolution,
but presumes it will be similar to
Blair's resolutions calling upon Congress
to order an investigation of the
alleged frauds in Florida, and au-
thorizing the appointment of committee to
send for persons and papers. tits not thought
that such inestigation, if ordered, would
occupy much time, as the committee on Judi
ciary, during the former Congress- thoroughly
examined the subject of the Presidential
canvass in Louisiana and Florida. The II ost
important addition to the facts ascertained by
that committee would be the positions Of Nc
Lin and Dennis, together with other authenti-
Gated papers on that conviction, which, it ia
claimed, can be readily produced, and
are the first admissions of fraud
by the parties directly concerned in perpetra-
ting them. Few if any of the Democrats an
ticipate that Congress will take any action dis
turbing the official position of President Hayes,
and many of them desire to 20 no further than
to place on record proofs of fraud that may be
produced before any committee that may be
authorized to receive them. It can be said, how
ever, that no line of conduct has yet been
TONED, although there is much speculation

Chicago Spec,slations.

A Tribune reporter yesterday made effort
to get from the millers theory as to what
caused the terrible mill-explosion in Mime
apolls. The dispatches stated that the cause
assigned was the igniting of the stuff which
was thrown from the neutrality-suspicious., which
is used in making the patent -four. This in
vention has a French origin, though it has been
greatly perfected in the United States, es-
pecially of late years. The autobiography -
ing process has facilitated the turning out of
more nutritious -four, and of finer and better
quality, which is said to retain all the life
sustaining qualities of the wheat. Nearly all
the mills in the West use these purifyers, which
are composed of zig-zag series of sieves, made
of bolting-cloth, through which the middlings
pass, and heavy current of air, driven by a
fan, blows away the impurities. The original
French system provided for fan under the
sleeves, which causes the dust to blow upward,
laden with the fluffy pollen thrown off, which
may be designated as the woody particles of
the interior of the hull or bran of the wheat
berry. Under the French system there is no
escape for this refuse, except through the win
dows. Some millers regard this stuff as very
explosive in it's nature, and the rooms in which
the middlings are purified are kept well venti-
lated by the windows being kept open and the
dust allowed to blow out. In other mills the
dust is forced through pipe to either the
ground floor or the top of the mill, where a
series of pits or sieves carry it through another
artifcially-created or natural draught to the
outside air.
During the afternoon the reporter called at
the
STAR AND CRESCENT MILL,
at the west end of the Randolph street bridge,
owned by Clinton Briggs and Heermans. The
mill has capacity of 700 barrels day, runs
fifteen sets of stone, and has ten purifiers. Mr..
Ed. Campbell is the miller in charge. he said
that there was combustible material thrown
off from the neutrality-suspicious.. 1t was what
might be called dark, fluffy substance-the
woody fibre of the interior of the bran. It
would ignite if floating in the, air, it came in
contact with fame of any kind. 1t was quite
harmless and innocent when it was lying in a
pile anywhere by itself out of doors. How
ever, where the stuff was taken through pipe
by fan to . room by itself, it was all right.
There should be no light Of an artificial char
acter there at all. Some mills had the room
where this explosive material was received hop
percd 30 that all of it was blown away by the
air created by the ventilation and fan. Some
simply received the stuff on floor, which was
cleaned off once or twice week, or whenever
the mill was not running. Some mills had
their purifiers in the same room where the dust
accumulated, which made such mills exceed
