WASHINGTON, April 27.-In the Senate,
this afternoon, the bill TO repeal so much
of the revised statutes as discriminates
against persons who were in the rebellion,
brought on a sharp and animated discus
sion during which Mr.. Edmonds charged
that it was part of a scheme to eradicate
the war legislation, and proceeded to make
bitter arraignment of the latter party for
its crime. Beck, OF Kentucky, defended
the bill as being in consonance with pub
tic sentiment, and tight in Itself, and
maintained that the time had come when
no discrimination should be made between
citizens for what was past. Beck is a forci-
BILE rather than an eloquent speaker, but
he made his points strongly and effective
ly. Vest followed on the same side with
one OF his brilliant speeches, full OF sharp
satire, cutting sarcasm and beautiful
rhetoric, but no conclusion was reached,
the matter going over.
Senator Sherman introduced a bill, os-
tensibly to regulate the coinage Of stand
ard silver dollars, but which, if passed,
would efectually prevent any further ist
sue OF that much abused coin. 1t repeals
as much of the silver coinage act Is directs
the coinage Of 100000 per month, and

Car ANlcs and Hoop Iron.
JS,,.-;,y Disy,,,yrh IN The ReOistsT,


WASHINGTON. April 27.-Secretary Folger
will hear the argument OF those interested
on the subject of the duty on car axles and
hoop iron on Friday, May 9th. The mat
ter has attracted good deal OF atten ion,
and the hoop iron question has been al
ready extensively discussed.
The question which the manufacturers
urge upon the Secretary is, that the COM
mercial designation at the time OF the pas
sage Of the law for the article in question
was car axles, and they were so sold, and
sOuld therefore be dutiable as car aIles at
two and onc.half cents per pound, and not
as rolled iron at one and One-quarter cents
per pound. There are over fifty atiidavits
10 demonstrate this point The Depart
ment at this moment is inclined to decide
car axleS, being unfinished, to be dutiable
as rolled iron. u.

after making the above exclamation, he
jumped hom his seat, rushed through the
car door and .leaped from the platform.
The train was running fcs.y miles an hour,

man was found lying beside the track, in
sensible and badly hurt. He had no bag

BoSToN'S COLLECTOR.
Worthington Likely 10 be Confirmed
Hoar Taking His Own Medicine.

Special DiSD'itrh 10 me kSgtSteT.
WASHINGTON, April 27.-Before the Conn
mittee on Commerce of the Senate, Sena-
tors Hoar and Dawes made their long looked
for argument againsi.th confirmation of
Worthington, the Stalwart editor of the
Boston Traveller, as Collector OF that port.
Nothing new. however, was adduCed. They
made no personal objection to the appoint
ment. admitting him to be man Of clear
record, personally and politically, a sub
stantial and successful business man, OF
independent fortune, a Republican from
the foundation OF the party, and Free
Soiler before he was Republican. The
Whole and sole objection to him j. that he
is a stalwart. Since Arthur became Presi-
dent there have been five important
Federal offices filled in Massachusetts,,
and Hoar's friends have been
given four of them. Worthing-
ton is the solitary Stalwart whom the Presi
dent has recognized in the Bay State. Yet
Hoar and Dawes are fighting him bitterly.
They are claiming courtesy of the Senate
against him, although they were the men
who led off so furiously against that same
courtesy" when Conkling claimed it on
RobertSon's nomination. The friends OF
Worthington claim that he will be confirm
I'd by a vote OF three tC one, but my infor-
nation is that Hoar and Dawes have Secur-
ed too large a number Of promises for this
TO be true. but ST Il there is little doubt he
will he confirmed by fair majority. G.

patc1es, and putting upon them a construc-
tion utterly foreign, he was compelled to
change his opinion of him, which had here

and ignoring Belmont) replied: "Mr:
Chairman, this young man has disgraced
himsef. He has been put forward by those
who are behind him to insult me, but he is
incapable of doing So"
The scene was a most remarkable one,
and Notwithstanding the efforts OF the
chairman to smooth the troubled waters
and obviate the necessity for any misun-
derstSnding, the impression prevailed at
the adjournment of the meeting that the
dispute had by no means ended. It is the
subject of comment upon all sides this
morning.
