its labors at 10 O'Clock and worked until
the Senate met, and at . z. NJ. il resumed,
and will not stop tonight until the con.
sideration OF the bill is completed. Senator
Withers, who is enc OF this hard-worked

mittee Monday and hurried through with
all possible dispatch.
THE ADJOURNMENT QUESTION TO-DAY.
The general opinion among correspond

the Senate, however, fixed upon the 14.h as

WHAT Mr.. sgYM0UR's HOME PAPER SAYS OF
| HIM.
| An officer OF Congress from Utica handed
me to-day the following from the Utica
| Morning Herald, with the request that
would send it to the Dispatch for publica.
ton. The Herald is Republican, but the
citizens OF Utica, without regard TO party,
love Mr.. Seymour, and regard him as one
OF the purest and wisest OF living states
men. II says:
| "Hon. Horatio Seymour's SEVENTEEN
birthday anniversary Monday was observed
by Albany friends sending him very beau
tiful clock for his library. He planted two
trees on the lawn in the rear OF the old
| homestead on WhitesbOro' street, now oc-
cupied By his brother, and then with his
wife entertained party OF friends at his
country home in Deerfield. Governor Sey-
mour never appeared better than now. He
seems to have grown younger every day
since he withdrew from politics. 1t is 4
rare pleasure 10 meet him in his daily visits
to the city, and listen to his conversation
upon all conceivable subjects which can add
to the comfort and happiness OF humanity,
excite new interest and pride in their homes
and FOR their country, and give all good
reasons for being glad that they are alive to
enjoy all the good things that they de-
serve"
THE EXPORTS OF THE UNITED STATES IN 1879.
Mr. Phillips, Of Missouri, in speech on
the tariff, gives the exports Of the United
States during the year 1879 as follows
Wheat, $3.50, 900; corn, 100000 900 ;
butter, $4,000, 900; lard, s23,O0OOOO; ham
and bacon, So, 1000, 900; cheese, Sl2,OO0,O00 ;
livestock for nine months, 80, oil; leaf
tobacco for nine months, S23,24S,922. This
looks as il we were already supplying Eu
rope with good deal to eat. and our eX.
port trade is yet in its infancy. Last year
We produced 420, 439, AL bushels OF wheat
and /, 1888, 21s, $50 bushels OF corn.

THE INDIANS NOW VISITING WASHINGTON.
A Government official who to-day visited
the Indians now here informs me that they
are composed OF three distiDc. nations-the
Rees, Gros Ventres, and Dakotas. Oh the
Dakotas there are representatives OF four
tribes-the Minnekanius, Brules, Yank-
tons, and Ogalalas. The latter tribes have
always In the past been the bitter enemies
Of the former, but being thrown together
by the Government for the purpose OF
visiting Washington and the Carlisle train
Ing school, where they all have children,
goodwill now prevails among them. Some
OF the school-children accompany their
parents, and much interest Is manifested to
see these little ones acting as Interpreters
through the English education given them
at Carlisle. The old Indians say they are
deeply gratified at the progress their chill
dren have made, and are perfectly willing
that they remain at school. They go to
Hampton next week to visit the Normal
school there, where there are number OF
Indian pupils.
