THE ARMY BILL REPORTED.
WASHINGTON, June 6.-The army bill was re-
ported, and ordered printed and re-committed.
This bill is identical with the army bill pre-
viously passed at this session with the excep-
tion of the appropriation for store-house at
Omaha and the substitution of the following
section 6 in lieu of that section in the previ-
Gus bill
Section 6. That no money appropriated in
this act is appropriated or shall be paid for
the subsistence, equipment, transportation or
compensation of any portion of the army of
the United States to be used as police force
to keep peace at the polls at any election held
in any State.
THE POSTAL SERVICE.
The House vent into committee of the whole
upon the bill making additional appropriations
for the postoffice department.
Mr.. Cox characterized the bill as the meanest
one he had ever seen. There was nothing so
mean, so parsimonious, so coarse, 80 dispica-
BILE, as to bring in a bill to repeal bill passed
at the last session, and to cut down the pay of
men who were worked fourteen hours day in
| New York city, because the gentleman from H.
| linois (Cannon) did not want that sort of work
upon the prairies. Naughter.)
! Mr.. Cannon replied the gentleman from
New York (Cox) wanted to get into some dis
| picable demogoguical position, and t. get some
show from the slums of New York city.
Mr.. Cox, alludlng to favorable gesture of
Cannon's-Don't shake your finger at me, it
scares me. Naughter.)
Mr.. Cannon-That is twice told wit, as the
gentleman once said to Butler. The gentle
man is decaying in his old age Uaughter)
Mr.. Munroe opposed the bill. He was in
favor of the free delivery system as being an
instrument of civilization, and thought that
it should be introduced into the young cities
of the country. In regard to the pay of car
riers, he did not believe that 81 1000 and $500
was too much. It was not cent too much fol
a faithful. honest, upright man who gave the
best they had to the service Of their country
4 (Applause.)
The debate was continued by Townsend
Ohio Keifer and Stone after which, w1thou
J action on the bill, the committee rose, and th,
= House adjourned.

tion, and ] do not think you ought to ask me
for it, but il you come again for my reason

me. IL 'Ss33fst
Shellabargar interrupted witness saying that
he did not want the statement of Q third party.
After some colloquy the question was with
drawn by Shelabarger, when Senator Hill put
the question himself to witness, and witness
went on and made a long statement to the Of
feet that Watson, . colored man, had asked
him recently whether there was anything in
the Kellogg spofford fight, meaning whether
there waa any money in it. That witness told
him that there was not a cent, and asked him
what he knew about it.. Witness then told
him it was he who had voted in Thomas place
that day, and he had got his sugar for it too.
Thomas was little taller than Watson and a
.little darker in color. Witness introduced
Watson to Oavanac, Sp. fford's counsel, but he
told Cavanac that in his opinion Watson was a
dirty scoundrel. Watson had since got into
the New Orleans custom house, and witness
thought that was Watson's game. Adjourned.

A Yurore Among Western cAttle Men.


ST. LOUIS, March 1O.-The New York
Herald of the 9th, containing a letter
charging that slop fed and diseased cattle
are shipped from the National Stock Yards
here, to New York and other Eastern
markets, has arrived here, and has rro.
duced great indignation; not only among
the officers Of the yards, but cattle dealers
generally, and all assert most positively
that the statements in the letter are false
in every particular, and werc doubtless
fabricated to damage or destroy the export
trade in American cattle. Isaac II. Knox,
the Vice President, authorizes a state.
ment that slOps have never been fed in the
NationalStock Yards since their opening
in 1873, and during all that time not one
hundred head ofslop fed cattle have been
sold there.
The charge that poor Texas cattle arc
bought here, shipped to the farm OF Abe
Mcneil, Of Greenville, ILL.,, there housed
in filthy sheds, fed on distilled slop til
they are fattened and full OF disease, and
then returned to the yards, sold and ship
ped East as healthy stock, is pronounced
by Mr. Mcneil as utterly false. He does
not feed either stillor slops; also SAYS there
Is not, never has been distillery or
brewery in Bond countywhere he resides.
NJ. A. Knox expresses the opinion tnat
the writer Of the letter was never in the
National Stock Yards. All dealers here
say the cattle have not been so healthy
throug ghout the West for ten years as they
have been this season.

quest over the bodies found in the ruins
at the East St. Louis fire, yesterday, pro-
gressed to-day, but was not concluded and
will be continued tomorrow. Itseems to
be the pretty general opinion that there
was a conspiracy to burn Mrs. Brusch's
property for a double purpose: revenge
and to obtain the insurance, but no very
definite testimony to that effect has vet
been brought out. Geo. WinkIy, another
man somewhat implicated in The affair,
was arrested to-day.
