A1Is OeCk kecTlOGe1EJ-4 J6uQeI my TeSlG-
nation, and ask for the appointment Of the
gentleman from Alabama at his own re-
quest.
Mr.. voorhees, suggested that It was no
time to swap horses in crossing a stream,
and the presiding officer declined to accept
the resignation on the ground that it was
not now in order, as the Senate was engaged
IN other business.
The amendment was ruled out on q point
of order. The bill, as amended, was then
reported to the Senate and passed.
The Senate then, In committee OF the
whole, proceeded to the consideration OF
the general deficiency appropriation bill.
The bill was considered without Interrupt
ton until 4:l0 p. m, when the Senate went
into executive session, and when the doors
were reopened adjourned.

AFTER THE DROP.
The execution of Guiteau yesterday has
formed the principal topic of conversation
to-day The derails OF the hanging were
very poorly told by the city press last night
and this morning. The people of Washing
ton have been to-day simply getting at the
real story. There is less feeling here
oyer the execution than in any other part OF
the country, though the general sentiment
is one of satisfs ction that the assassin has
been swung. It. is remarkable fact that
since there has been an expiation on the
galloWs the number of people who think
Guiteau was insane has increase ed fourfold.
You can hardly find now a man who does
not think that Guiteau was not wholly sane.
This is human nature. The body o. the as
sassin VIII be allowed to remain in its burial
place, q few feet from the scaffOld, for some
time. 1t will then be exhumed quietly. and
the skeleton given to some medical institu
tion. 1t will probably be given to the Army
Medical MUSEUM 10 this city. In fact, with
out final disposition, that arrangement has
practically been agreed upon.
Guiteau's body was buried In the north
east corner OF the jail at four O'Clock this
evening. The body was borne from the
chapel upon the shoulders of six of the jail
prisoners, and, without any ceremony or
service, lowered into the ground. The only
persons present were John w. Guiteau, Or.
Hicks, Warden Croeker and son, Mr.. Wright,
the undertaken. Ward, the engineer Of the
jail, Deputy Warden Russ, Capt. Crocker,
and the six prisoners who acted as pail
bearers.
Congress again attracted little attention
today. The work went along slowly. From
its present status an adjournment before
the 22i or 25th of July seems to be an i'm
possibility.
THE POSTAL SERVICE SELF SUSTAINING.
The POST Office Department officials say
that when the final statement of the receipts
and expenditures of the Post Office d part
ment for the fiscal year ended June 305h Is
completed 1t will show that the postal
service was self sustaining during the year.
This Will be the first year since 1851 in which
the receipts and expenditures of the de-
partment nave balanced.
THE COMING WEEK IN CONGRESS.
WASHINGTON, July 2.-To-m )rrow's ses-
sion of the House of Representatives will
he devoted to action upon individual mo-
tions to pass bills under suspension of. the
rules. and 1t Is expected that large number
of bills for the erection of public buildings
and other measures of local interest will thus
be offered. An effort will also be
made to pass the bal, which provides for
correcting An error In the Revised Statutes
relative to the duties on knit goods. Con-
siderstion of the naval ap; ropriatlon bill will
be resumed at the T. flowing session, and,
unless the House refuses to adjourn over
the Fourth Of July, this bill will, doubtless,
in all probability be passed by Tuesday
evening. 1t will otherwise consume We'd
nesday's session.
The sundry civil appropriation bill is to
be brought before the House immedi ltely
afterwards, and is expected to occupy the
remainder Of the legislative week.
The Republican Caucus Committee on
the Order of Business intend to endeavor to
procure action on the South Carolina con.
tested election case of Smalls VS.. Tlllman
as soon as the sundry civil bill has been dis |
posed Of.
on the part Of many members OF both par |
Ties to embrace the opportunity that will be |
offered after the passage of this the last one |
OF the regular series )f appropriation bills, |
to transact some of the miscellaneous bust. |
ness that has accumulated on the Speakers |
table and on the calendar OF reported bills |
The Senate will tomorrow proceed with |
the general deficiency bill, and 1t will prob |
ably be passed before adjournment. The /
bankruptcy bill Will then become the regular |
order, but It is not expected to hold its place /
against any additional appropriation bill, or
against the House bill for the reduction OF
Internal revenue taxation, which will soon
be reported from the Finance Committee.
The Commerce Committee intend to re-
port back the river and harbor appropria-
tion bill to the Senate next wednesday, In
which event its consideration will be COM
menced on Thursday, and the pension ap-
preparation bill will be reported during the
week from the Committee on Appropria-
tions. The legislative, executive and
judicial sppripriation bill having now
passed both houses will soon be
placed In the hands of a conference
committee for adjustment of points Of DIFF
ference. The bill providing for the extern
sion OF the national bank charters,
which is now in conference, will, 1t
is believed, obtain fnal passage and
be sent to the President this week.
The conference committee on the
japanese indemnity bill are to hold their
final meeting next Wednesday. The gene
raj opinion of the best informed members
Of the House and Senate in regard to the
probable duration of the session now ap-
pears to be that Congress will adjourn sine
