 WASHINGTON, Jan. 13-A long debate will probably arise on Mir. Anthony's resolution regarding the prohibition of the importation of our meat products by European govern ments Senator Hill is expected to deliver 8 set speech in favor of his postal telegraph bill to morrow, and Mir. Horr will take the first opportunity to press the bill relating to the electoral count. The new Mexican treaty is expected to come up in executive session tomorrow, when it will probably be decided to consider it in open session.
 In the House to morrow the call of States for the introduction of bills and joint resoIu- tions for reference will probably not occupy more than a couple of hours. After this it is thought the committees may be called for re ports. It is said an effort will be made to take up the bill for the relief of Fitz John Porter which the Committee on Military Af- fairs recently agreed to report favorsbly, but the Dingley shipping bill will undoubtedly be given preference over all others. Several speeches will be delivered on this measure and it's consideration will occupy the House for some days. There is disposition to re duce the number of committee clerks by as- signing among the minor committees the work of two committees to one clerk. The principal standing committees will be allowed the same clerical force as heretofore.

The gravsyards all through the State are being tempered with A guard armed to the teeth watches the premises here day and night.

A PriceIess Gem-CompletlOn of the Cut ting of Q Large Diamond.
 BOSTON, Jan 13.-The cutting of 8 dia-
 mond, believed to be the largest ever cut in
 this country, has just been completed in this
 city, the process having occupied something more than three months. The stone was found in South Africa, and was imported by New York firm. Its weight iu the rough was nearly one hundred and twenty-five car- ats. The gem as perfected is very brilliant and beautiful, though it is not perfect in col or, marked yellowish tinge prevailing. As cut it weighs seventy seven csrats. It is cut in rounded cushion shape, with fifty six facets, it's size being nearly full inch across and little more than five-eighths of an inch in depth. The yellowish tinge disappears in artificial light. The value of the stone, which is about two thirds as large the Kohinoor diamond, cannot be stated, as dia- monds of unusual size have no absolute value.
 The Tsyyksbury yAlmshouse-ButIsr An.
 swersd by The Board of Charities.
 BOSTON, Jan. 13 The annual report of the State Board of Health, Lunacy and Char ity was read at meeting of the Board yes- terday afternoon. It says women should bs appointed on the board of trustees of the insane hospitals, and that the State work. house and Tewksbury should be placed under one board of trustees. The report then takes up the attacks of Governor Butler upon the system of State charities, and upon this the report dWells particu- larly and says:-''These charges, amaz- inRly varied and supported only by the weakest possible evidence, most of which would be held incompetent by any ordinary tribunal for the trial of questions of fact, were widely circulated throughout the country. They grew by repetition and exaggeration until the good name of the State Iabored under weight of misrepresen- tation and disgraceful accusation such as nsY- CT was before visited upon this Common wealth by her bitterest enemies whether sectionalIy or otherwise hostile. Yet all this time our charitable system, against which these islanders were brought, continued to work without serious obstruction or ill result and exhibited to anx- ious or curious inquirers from out side the State the same benifcent care for the poor which had made the name of Massachusetts honorable and honored wherever the principles of public charity were known and it's practice respected. It is the best evidence in favor of the institutions which so prominent citizen of Massachu- setts attacked. that they have gone forward in their regular course, unmoVed by the un- natural assault upon them and yindicated by the voice of the people as early as an oppor- tunity occurred to do them justics.' To all this portion of the report the minority strong ly object.
