SENATE SECRET SESSION.

Action Upon Various Nominations
Fitz-John Porter Among Those Con-
nrmed.
When the case Of Il. s. Dement,, noml-
mated to be surveyor general OF Utah, was
reached In the Senate secret session yester-
day, the announcement was made that
Gen. Logan, who was absent, had left
word that he had no more fight to make in
Dement'S behalf. Senator Colum said he
for confirmation chiefly because his col
league desired IT, but he was now
satisfied that Dement, was not the kind OF
man the government needed In the position
Of surveyor general Of Utah, and he would,
therefore, oppose the confirmation. Mo-
body defended Dement,, and he was re-
iected without division.
Fltz-John Porter was confirmed without
debate, and by nearly the same vote as that
cast for the Fitz-John Porter bill
Internal Revenue Collector McGraw, Of
the West Virginia district, was confirmed.
His nomination has been pending more
than year and half, II being one of those
left unconfrmed at the end of the last ses-
sion.
United States Marshals Urner, OF Clnciu-
natl, and Freeman, of Tennessee, and Col
lectors Of Customs Smalley, OF Vermont,
and Brady, Of Fall River, Mass, were con-
firmed.
The nominations OF G. II. Potter, TO be
Indian agent for the Omaha and Winnebago
agency, and +. IL. Kinman, to be postmas.
ter at Jacksonville, ILL.,, were rejected.
Senator Sherman tried to call up the rati
fcation treaty with Great Britain, favorably
reported from the committee on foreign
relations, but the proposition was voted
down by a majority which made 1t seen
improbable that any action will be reached
this session.
The Senate has postponed the Beeche
case till to-day, and confirmed "unobjecteC

THE oLEoMARGARrNE BILL.

The President Signs It-He Does Not
Believe that n Pound of the "Oloo"
Ever Enters Poor Mans House.
The President yesterday afternoon signed
the oleomargarine bill. In his message to
the House on the bill he sets forth the
reasons urged on both sides of the ques-
tlon. He holds II TO be q revenue bill, and
states that
Ifthe question was presented to me as IN
original proposition might doubt the present
need of increased taxation. deem II my duty
in this instance TO defer TO the judgment of fthe
legislative branch OF the government which
has been 80 emphatically announced in both
houses of Congress on the passage of this bill.
Moreover, those who desire to see removed
the weight OF taxation now pressing upon the
people from other directions may well be jusu.
lied in the hope and expectation that the Sc.
lection OF an additional subject of internal
taxation, 80 well able to bear It, will in con-
sistency be followed by legislation. relieving
our citizens from other revenue burdens, rcn-
dered by the passage of this bill even more than
heretofore unnecessary and needcssly op-
pressive. "
claim for 1t, and If the people of the land, with
full knowledge of its real character, desire to
purchase and use II, the taxes exacted by this
bill will permit fair profit to both manufac-
turer and dealer.
Notwithstanding the immense quantity Of
the article described in this bill, which is sold
TO the people for their consumption as food,
and Notwithstanding the claim made that its
manufacture supplies cheap substitute for
butter venture to say that hardly pound
ever entered poor mans house under Its real
name and In It's true character.
In conclusion, the President remarks:
The fourteenth and fifteenth sections OF the
bill, in my opinion, are In danger ofbeing
construed as an interference with the police
powers of the states. Not being entirely salts
fed of the unconstitutionality OF these provi-
sions, and regarding them as not being 50 con-
nected and interviewer with the other sections
az, II found invalid, TO vltiate the entire meas
ure, have determined to commend them TO
the attention OF the House with n view to an
imme diate amendment of the bill, II II should
be deemed necessary, and IL II is practicable at
this late day In the session of Congress.

A Reliable business House.

Many OF the business houses Of this city
have long and honorable records. Among
this number Mr.. James S. Topham, manu-
facturer Of fine trunks and harness, and
doing business at 1881 Pennsylvania ave-
nue., has in the thirty one consecutive years
in which he has been In business made for
himself O record of which he may well be
proud. During all these years, which In
clude many periods Of great depression, he
has never failed, nor has he ever compro'
missed an obligation contracted. On the
contrary, be has always discharged his OBJ
legations by paying one hundred cents on
the dollar. He is to-day the largest manu-
facturer Of goods In his line IN the District,
and employs more skilled mechanics than
any other house In the city engaged In
the manufacture Of trunks and harness
OF every description. He manufac-
lures all his own goods from the
best materials and In the best possible
manner. Since he has been in business he
has had the house rented twice over his
head, but In each case, SO well established
was his trade and so tenaciously did his
customers and friends stick TO him, he
lost nothing by the change Of location. ln
addition to his large mandatory business
he also devotes great attention to repairing
trunks and harness thoroughly and
promptly. No one about to leave the city
FOR the seashore or mountain resorts can
afford TO do so before giving Mr.. Topham a
call and supplying themselves with the
necessary trunks, satchels, travelling bags,
shawl straps, &c.

RIVERS AND HARBoRs.
Unanimous Report from tho Confcr-
ence Committee.

Contrary to general expectation the con-
forces on the river and ,harbqr bill agreed
last night on unanimous report, which lie
to be presented to the respective houses
the first thing this morning.
The conclusion was reached after full
consultation with the leading minds of
each house, and the report is signed by
every member OF the conference committee.
The appropriation for the Potomac flats is
retained, as also the Senate amendment OF
$750,OO0 for the harbor Of New York. The
canals, which were in dispute, are all left
out, the Senate recedipg from them, and
provision is made for the appointment OF
board Of engineers Of three members,
whose duty IL is to make report
to the next House OF all facts
going to show the desirability Of acquisition
or improvement Of them by the federal gov
ernment SO that, the question Can then be
decided in the light of the fullest informa-
tion. The opposition in the House to what
wasknown as the compulsory levee" clause
is met by striking out that clause com
pletely from the bill. II is expected that
the friends Of the bill will be on hand at the
opening Of both houses this morning and
that very few. moments will be needed to
agree TO the report OF the committee.

SOCIETY has right TO protect itself It must
protect itself against violence and unlawfnl

the serious consequences that must in the end
come upon themselves II they persist in unlaw.
ful and violent acts?-Ifartford Times.

that there will be in the future no such

they should be dealt with In the sternest
