letter from Secretaries Lincoln and Chandler
opposing the proposition to offer q reward for
the discovery and relief Of the Greedy party by
private enterprise They think it unadYisable
to offer an incentive to inadequately prepared
private parieswhen the government expedition
against the proposition is that the government,
by inviting such cooperation, will assume
certain responsibility toward those whom it

sity Of further expeditions for relief or rescue
hereafter. Il u -. ,g.s -. E.
Secretary Chandler has written a letter to
Representative Cox, the chairman Of the CON-
mittee On naval affairs, strongly opposing
second investigation of the Jeanette artic ex-
petition. He says the friends Of jerome Col
Inns had every opportunity before the court OF
inquiry to ascertain the facts in the case, and
that in his opinion the proposed reopening Of
the case is highly inexpedient, and it seems
pitiless sacrilege to again tear open the graves
Of the dead for the purpose of indecently call
ing public attention to what the court of inquiry
correctly termed trivial difficulties, such as
occur on shipboard even under the most favor
able circumstances, and which had no influence
in bringing about the disasters of the expedition,
and no pernioious effects upon it's conduct
The postofHea ropriation bill was consid-
cred on Tuesday in the house and the proceed
ings were marked by three points Of interest.
The speaker ruled against his party on point
of order; Mr.. Aiken,ss democratic member
from South Carolina, fiercely denounced the
committee for certain parts of its work on the
bill, stating that it was actuated by desire to
acquire a reputation for economy; and Messrs.
Townshend and Reed engaged in very warm
controversy, the former charging the latter
with defending railroad corporations and all
kinds Of jobbery and Mr.. Reed replying vigor-
ously. The amendment adopted by the CON-
mittee of the Whole increasing the amount for
letter carriers $4O0, 600 was rejected in the
house and the bill passed

The house. Tia foreign affairs committee
submitted a report with resolutions Oh the re-
turn by Prince Bismarck of the house resolu-
tons on Herr Lasker The report warmly
f1a ffpor nf na Sfo rt-
ment ia the matter, and tho resolutions merely
recite that the resolution was intended as trib-
ute Of respect to Iasker, and the house does
not deem it requisite to its dignity to criticise
the manner in which the resolution was received
Ochiltree, Phelps, COX of New York,
Denster and others, the report and
resolutions were adopted; likewise resolutions
thanking the Liberal Union members Of the
German parliament for their acknowledgment
house resolution On Iasker. The elections
committee in the case Of Garrison vs.. Mayo,
Virginia, reported awarding the scat to Garri-
son. BY q vote Of 1877 to 11S the house decided
to consider the bill to extend the whisky bond
ed period.
The bill increasing the salaries of u s.
Judges to sc, 600 is still before the Senate, and
elicits a coed deal of discussion, as also Blairs
bill appropriating money for education
The House election committee reported in
favor Of the contestant i'll the contested election
Of Garrison against Mayo, from the First dis
trict Of Virginia, thus unseating Mr. Mayo, who
is o readiuster. Mr.. Mayo was allowed an
hour in which to present bis side of the case.
His parting address resulted in heated colloouy
between Messrs. Ranney Of Massachusetts, a
republican member of the committee on cleo
tions, and John $. Wise, readjuster member
from Virginia, on one side, and Turner of
Georgia, chairman of tho elections committee,
and Tucker OF Virginia, on the other, relative
to the action OF the board of canvassers of Yir-
ginia in throwing out the vote Of an entire
county, on account Of an informality
In the debate in the house on the bonded
whisky extension bill, Mr. Willis in whose dis
trict most of the whisky is stored, claimed that
the whole Northwest, as well as Kentucky, was
greatly interested in this bill ; and, among other
reasons, stated that the whisky industry used
$50 5000 bushels Of corn two years ago, and
only IL, OOO, GOO bushels this year, and that the
whisky In bond is owned by alb classes of peo-
pie, and principally by people Of ordinary
means, who had to borrow from.th banks con-
tnually since the over production Of whisky
has made their Investment a bad one. He then
gave the history of the measure, showing that
q proposition for the indefinite extension of the
bonded period had been unanimously reported
by the ways and means committee last congress-,
and had passed the house with only twenty mine
votes against it. igSSs <Ee
