THE TROUBLE AT NORFOLK.

Mr. Boutelle (Me) offered in the House
resolution inguiring into the alleged disrlace-
ment OF exUnion soldiers heretofore employed
at the Norfolk Navy Yard, by x-Confederates;
the expunging of honorable inscriptions nj, GER
tain cannon captured from the rebels during
the war; and the removal of the tablet On the
dry-dOck commemorative of its recapture from
the enemy in 1862.
At meeting of the Naval Committee the
resolution was very sharply debated. MIR.
Boutelle and Mr.. Thomas (lll.) attacked Com
modore Truxton, commandant at the navy yard,
most vigorously, charging that the Civil Serv-
ice law had been grossly violated and the
proprieties outraged by the removal of the in
| scriptions. Mr.. Wise LVa.) aud Mr.. McAdoo
(N.J.) defended whatever had been done as
perfectly proper aud right. They declared that
the Democrats were entitled now to at least
half the offices, and they proposed to have Them.
Considerable irritation was caused by the dis
cussion. The mat ter was not disposed Of and
will be taken up again at a future meeting.

MONUMENTS TO LINCOLN AND GRANT.
Senator Blair made speech in support of his
bill to appropriate, in 10 yearly instalments,
100000 each for the erection in Washingt
of obelisks to Lincoln and Grant. He said:
1t is conceded that the great names in our history
so far are Washington, Lincoln and Grant. They
are Il brotherhood trinity, conceived of in the
popular mind not alone as equals, but actual
associates consulting still and forever. TO preside

GEN. CURTIN's GRIEF.

Quite bUzz has been created in political cir
cleS by the resignation OF Representative Cur
tin, OF Pennsylvania. from the Craftsmanship of
the House Committee on Banking aud Cur
Iency. Two years ago, at the organization of
the 33th Congress Mr. Curtin was appointed at
the head o. the Committee on Foreign Affairs,
place that was greatly desired by Representa-
tive Perry belmont, Of New York, and in
whose behalf 4 strong influence was at that
time brought TO bear At the opening Of the
present Congress the effort in behalf of Mr.. Bel
mont was renewed, and with success Mr. Car
Isle appointed him chairman of Foreign Affairs
in place of Dir. Curtin, giving the latter Bank
ing and Currency, which rankslower in imp
tance on the list of committees.
Mr. Curtin, who is of old Scotch Cove
nsnter stock, came into prominence as the
War Governor" of Pennsylvania, and has been
conspicuousiy before the country ever since that
time. lie felt keenly the slight put upon him
by the Speaker, in taking the position from
one Of his age. character, and long experience
in public affairs, and giving it to so young a
man as 5lr. Belmont who though q worthy
gentleman, is but the merest tyro in statesman

mission abroad. The latter took no pains to
conceal his dissatisfaction as soon as the COM

WHY HE DID NOT GO.

Attorney General Garland did not attend the
Presidents state dinner last week, being the
only member Of the Cabinet who was absent,
1t was given out that his absence was owing to
"indisposition." This IS correct, though it was
An indisposition to wear a claw-hamner coat.
Mr.. Garland has an unc0nquerable aversion TO
this fashionable garment, and has vowed VOW
that he will never wear one as long as he lives.
So he declines all invitations to social events
at which every gentleman is expected to wear
swallow tail, ;" and where the failure to con-
form to the custom would make him appear
singular. When he was confronted By the
rugged issue of wearing such a coat or declin-
ing to put his knees under the Presidents hos
pitable board, lie chose the latter

SILVER IN CONGRESS.

slLVER IN CONGRESS.
There was considerable talk in Congress last
week on the silver question. 1t was nearly all
on one side, by the friends Of the big, round
dollar, against the proposed suspension of coin
age. Carefully prepared speeches were de-
livered in the Senate by Mcssrs. Pugh (Alal,
Vance On. c., Brown (Ga.), Coke (Tex.), and
Maxey tTex.), and in the Senate by Mr.
Reagan TEX All are sturdy and prominent
Democrats, but they criticized in the strongest
language, the attitude the administration on
the silver question. This subject promises to
be a fruitful theme for debate during the ses-
sion.
PAYING THE PUBLIC DEBT.
Mr.. Warner Ohio introduced joint resolu-
ton directing the payment of the surplus in
tho Treasury in excess of $50,000,000 on the
public debt.
Mr. Tarsnoy-a droll little Irishman, who at
the last election defeated Mr.. Horr the funny
man Of Michig an-also offered resolution
calling on the Secretary of the Treasury for in
formation as to the amount of cash on hand
that can be legally applied to the payment of
the public debt, and inquiring why such appli-
cation of the surplus has not been made. Both
these resolutions were referred to the Commit
tee on Ways and Means.

GENERAL AND CRIrICULAR.

Great Edmunds says 1t must not be,
The secret session cannot go;
Because the Senate would become
As common as the branch below.
And so he makes his talk that way,
His words are on the Record shed;
1t goes before the country then,
And Edmunds knows 1t must be read.
What though the people ask for light?
What though their claim be just and fair9
The grim, gray Edmunds does not wish
The common herd to have n share;
And so he frowns direful frown,
And sternly shakes his Joye-like head,
Then makes speech to go in print,
For Edmunds knows 1t must be read.
And yet the secret will slip out,
The Senatorial ways are plain,
From Minnesota to the Gulf,
From California clear to Maine;
Shut down the hatchways II you WILL
Make all as secret as the dead
The people know in spite Of all,
That Edmunds' nose--it must be red.
