WASHINGTON. Jan. 28.

Mr.. Speer, of Georgia, gave notice
that he would tomorrow call up the

This met with general approval upon
the Republican side, though a few
members declined to feel bound by
the arrangement.
Mr.. Cox, of New York, chairman
Of the committee on foreign affairs,
reported back the resolution calling
on the Secretary of State for all the
information in his department in re-
lation to the Halifax fishery award of
$5,500,00O, paid by this government
to Great Britain, and especially that
relating to the alleged fictitious sta
tistics and perjured testimony im-
posed on the arbitrators, and on
which evidence the award was made
and also as to whether this govern
ment has taken any steps to procure
veriGcation of the recently publish
ed statements of Professor Hind
Adopted.

that to place Mark Walker on the

some discussion, was laid aside for
favorable recommendation.
The bill for the relief of Mrs. e.
P. Page, widow Of Captain Page, of
the United States Navy, who re-.
signed in 1861 to go with his Safe

Mr. House, of Tennessee, made an
eloquent speech in support of the
bill and in depreciation Of continu-
ance of sectional feeling and bitter
ness.
Mr.. Hooker, of Mississippi, also
supported the bill in a speech de-
Tending the leaders of the confederacy
against the charge of such treason as
that of Benedict Arnold
The bill was opposed by Messrs

WASHINGTON, October 27.-After the
nominations Of MessrS. Folger, James, and

prolonged until O'Clock by very
animated contest over the nomination
OF Clifford Statham. a Rcddiuser OF De-
mocratic anteccdents, as postmaster at
Lynchburg, Va, rice the Republican in
cumbent. named Wilson, whose term OF
office will expire on the 9TH proXimo.
Statham's confirmation was earnestly Op-
noscd by Democratic senators on the
d.romdS-as set forth in speeches by
Messrs. Johnston (oi Nirginia), Maxcy, and
Voorhecs-that Wilson was gallant Union
soldier and severely wounded in the war
Of the rebellion; that the businessmen
Of IyncLburg are entirely satisfied with
his administration Of the post-Office, and
desire his retention; and that the proposed
apnojntmcnt OF Mr.. Statlam (an active sup
norter of Senator Mahone) Is an inadmissi-

State in n political contest by fedefaI

use of Government money for private pur-
poses. although subsequently made good,
amounted to a gross dircliction Of duty,

Mr.. Statham's appointment Is recon-
