Congressional Proceedings.

In the Senate, numerous bills have been
introduced.
1t was resolved that when the Senate
adjourned it be to Monday.
Hoar's resolution of Tuesday, declaring
the course Of the majority evolutionary
was taken up. In the morning debate,
Hoar charged that the majority usurped
the functions of legislation in maturing
measures in caucus, thus anticipating con-
s%titutional forms. Beck, Bayard and Voor-
hees replied that the Dem ocrats we're act
ing with caution and ci~rcumspection,
which was more than the Republicans
had done when in the majority. Without
disposing of the subject, the Senate went
into executive session.
In the House, Sparks introduced the
Army Appropriation bill. He stated that
it was substantially the bill which passed
the last house, with the reorganization
features stricken out. 1t retains the clause
prohibiting theu use of troops at the polls.
1t was referred to the Committee Of the
Whole.
The motion to reduce the army to Is, 900
men was rejected by a vote OF So to 119.
The provision allowing a deficiency in
one item Of the appropriation for pay to
be made up from excess in any other item
under the same general head was stricken
out. The opposition came from both sides,
the provision being regarded as a violation
Of ths existing law, and a dangerous
authority to be conferred on a Department.
The provision with regard to railroad
companies doing a general business passed
without discussion.
Democratic scheme for the Adj
mission of Utah.
New YORK, March ~,
The ''Times'' thinks ii may appear wild
and absurd to give warning Of a Demo-
cratic scheme for the admission of Utah as
o State, but the exultant Democratic ma
jority in Congress is capable of doing
about any sort Of mischief. There is no
occasion to dread the interposition of an
Executive veto for the bill to admit the
Territory. Tack the bill to the Naval APP
preparation bill and the thing is done.
Whites Appointment to Berlin.
New York, March 81.
The Tribune" says Of Whites appoint
ment to Berlin If it has any political
significance at all, which we doubt, 1t will
be understood as a concession to the Conk-
ling and Grant elements, which nave
usually been able to command Whites
services. White was a classmate of Wayne
MacVeagh, who is understood to have Wig
orously pressed his nomination.
The World praises the appointment
of White.
The Extremists North and south.
NEW YORK, March az.
The 'Sun," to-day, says A distin-

ley, thinks that the rise Of the Extremists

the Extremists in the North, that Grant
may again be elected by the same current
OF feeling that has restored to the Senate
such Extremists as Logan, Carpenter and
Chandler.
