CHARGES AGAINST GEN. SMITH
On the Strength OF Which he Was Re-
moved from Office, DisprOved.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.
Gen. Joseph S. Smith, who was removed
from the office of collector of customs at
Bangor, Me-, several months since, upon a
report made by special agent Of the treas
ury department upon his conduct and habits,
having been vindcated, Sec. Cook has written
Gen. Smith as follows;
81 have to say that the papers in your
case have been very carefully examined in
connection with various charges made in
Special Agent Clarks report, and it has been
made to clearly appear to the satisfaction of
this department that you are entirely inno-
cent of the various acts of misconduct i'm
puted to you. 1t should be said here that no
written charges were preferred against you.
1t seems clear that Special Agent Clark must
have bean grossly imposed upon by designing
persons and it is evident that his report is not
sustained by the facts. and feel it but JUS
tice to yourself and family that this state
ment should be made"

HOUSE.

The House proceeded to the further consid-
Grafton of the sundry civil appropriation bill.
An amendment was adopted providing that
the money appropriated to aid in the New
Orleans exposition shall be used first in the
payment of the Indebtedness now outstand-
ing, which is due to persons living outside Of
Louisiana, including debts to foreigners or
foreign nations, and such as are due to States
and Territories second, in the payment of
all premiums awarded by the exposition.
Mr.. Potter of New York moved to strike
out the entire clause; lost.
Mr.. White of Kentucky demanded the
reading of the engrossed bill debate en-
sued.
Mr.. Randall moved to suspend the rules so
as to dispense with the requirement of having
the bill read at length.
Messrs. James of New York, Thomas of
Illinois and Comas of Maryland, severely
criticised the sundry civil bill for the provis-
ions which it contained relative to public
buildings, and asserted that while the districts
represented on the appropriation committee
had been well looked after, districts of ''or-
dinary" members of the House were dsre-
garded.
Mr. Payson of Illinois said that as Mr..
Horr of Michigan was the only member on
the appropriation committee who had not
been provided for. $1,000 should be given him
to expend in his district.
Mr. Randall replied that that remark was
unjust. There was not a dollar in the bill
that went to his district.
Mr. Potter of New York again entered a
protest against the practice of passing appro-
priation bills under a suspension of rules.
Other members of the committee on appro-
priations, in t~o-minute speeches, justified
the section. As one gentleman ceased and
another rose. there were cries of Next.
with sarcastic suggestions that each member
of the appropriation committee be allowed
Ave minutes to explain his conduct
As Mr.. Holman rose he was greeted with
applause and shouts of laughter. He defend
ed the committee and was followed by Mr..
Burns in the same vein.
Mr.. Randalls motion was agreed to-22i
to "a, and the third reading of the bill wa.
dispensed with.
The bill was then passed-l6S to 10Y.
The Senate amendments to the legislative
appropriation bill were non concurred in.
Mr.. Willis of Kentucky moved to suspend
the rules and pass the bill appropriatinp Q
So ,000, 900 to be expended onder the direction
and with the approval of the secretary OF
war, for the continuation and completion Of
the works designated in the last river anC
harbor law.
Mr.. Miller of Pennsylvania considered thi
motion as fitting one to be made in tn,
closing hours of the 4Sth Congress. Within
the past two days the House, under suspen
sions of rules, bad appropriated s24. .OOO. .O0C
and it was now proposed to appropriate s.,
900, 600 more. This proposition was brough
! in with the expectation that the Senate move,
