Five memh ers OF the Executive Council

opposition to allowing the Fusion Legisla-

Wiling 10 permit them to meet as politi-

The Fuslonlsts are very busy this even

the air, but Dot the least trouble is antici-
pated on to morrow. 1t is anticipated
that the Fusionists will all come in and

of the Fusion House, in an interview this

purpose of the Fusionist Legislature to
assemble at the State House at four O'Clock

committee on the future course of the
Legislature will be presented This COM
mlttee is not in session here. bvt its mem
bers have gone home after having each
been instructed to prepare an individual
statement of what appears to him to be
the proper policy to pursue. Some Of the
committee men are said by Speaker Tai
bott, to be in favor of asking recognition
by Congress. He says further, that moth
ing would better suit the Fusionlst Legis

legislative hall. In such an event 10 re-
sistance would be offered. but the Legisla-
ture will quietly disperse aud abide by the
decision of events

The House Committees.

Owing probably to the latonoss of the hour
at which the House adjourned on Wednesday
night, very few members were in attendance
ut the various committe-rOoms yesterday
morning. The sub, committee of the Commit.
teo on Commerce made some progress upon
the River and Harbor bill, and the Public
Lands Committee upon the bill now before
them prepared by the Land Commissioners
The Ways aud Means Committee pending
the controversy in the House, has virtually
suspended action upon all of the tariff ques.
tions.
Tho Committee on Pacific Railroads gave
another hearing upon Representative Ellis
(of Louisana) bill to revive certain land
grants IN favor of Morgan's Louisiana e Texas
Railroad and Steamship Company. President b
Wheelock, of tho New Orl cans & Pacific Rail-
road Company, made an argument in favor of
the bill.
Tho subcommittee of the Appropriations
Committee charged with the Star route inves.
tigation held a brief session and began the
examination of j. r. Miner, the contractor on
the route from bismarck, Oak, to Fort Keogh,
Mont, and other routes. Mr. Miner was ques-
toned entirely in regard to the route men.
toned, and stated that 1t had been losing in.
vestment to him, aud that his receipts from
the Postollice Department., and from freight
and passenger business combined did not pay

Captain Jouet,s Nomination Reelected.

The executive session of the Senate yester-
day was wholly occupied by the case of Cap.
tain James Il. Jouett, nominated for promo
tion to tho grado of commodore in the navy.
Although reported fIvorably by majority of
tho Committee on Naval Affairs, it mot with
determined opposition, led by Senator Nc.
Pherson. chairman of the committee aud was
finally rejected. Yesterdays debate lasted
nearly three and a-half hours, and the case has
occupied several hours ut previous sessions
this week. The principal speakers in support
of the nomination were Senators Williams
Beck, Whyto and Hamln, and speeches
against IL of greater or less length have been
made by Senators Mcpherson, Anthony, Conk-
ling and Edmunds. The vote on the question
of confirmation resulted-yeas, 10; nayes, 90.

ALittlo nrecze in the House.

During the controversy in the House over
the reference of Mr.. Townshend's Tariff bill,
Speaker Randall, who is charged with being in
sympathy with tho Tariff mon, has been the
recipient of many uncomplimentary criticisms
by his free trade Democratic colleagues
Notably among those who denounced him was
Mr.. Blackburn, of kentucky, who also took II
prominent part in the contest in the House.
During Wednesdays night session, while Mr..
Blackburn was denouncing tho Speaker, and
declaring him a traitor TO the Democratic
party, which would be benefited by Randall's
removal, bag aud baggage, into the Rcpub-
licnn party, he was confronted by Mr..
CofTroth, of Pennsylvania, who defended
his colleague aud declared that the
language Of Mr.. Blackburn would Justify him
(Coilroth) in striking him. Blackburn much
onmgcd, said "Well, you have heard what l
have said, and fyou mean to say that 1t is not
true you arc n liar" Byslanders interfored
and prevented collision, but as the Penmsyl-
vanian moved away he said to Blackburn;
"Thore is one charge you cannot impute to
him. He never was u traitor to his country"
Northern Democrats who arc at least apologiss
for the rebellion as politicians cannot always
refrain from giving expression to their private
sentiments when these little family quarrels
occur

CnneelIntIon of rostnge stamina.

The Senate Committee on Postoilices and
Post Roads yesterday agreed to report and rec.
ommond the passage of bill authorizing tho
Postmaster General to adopt such n uniform
oancelling ink and stamping pad or other APP
pliauces as shall, in his Judgment be best
adapted to protect the revenues of tho Depart.
ment from the frauds heretofore pmcticed on
1t, and which, when adopted, be distributed in
the same manner rs other supplies to such
postoGices as he may designate. The bill
limits the cost Of securing tho uso of tho de-
sired appliances to the Government to $25 600.
Some of the statements furnished to the COM
mitteo by postofllco officials, concerning the
extent to which the revenues arc dclrauded
by the use of washed stamps, estimated the
amount of loss at not less than one and a-half
million dollars per annum.
