Representative Dingley of Maine conferred
with the Presidsnt this morning in reference
to the shipping bill which had not been
signed. The President informed him that
thought that the first section of the bill
would not authorize the payment from the
treasury of certain expenses of inspectors.
Mr. Dingley said it was the intention of Con
gress to have all expenses paid from the
treasury, and suggested to the President
that supplementary bill could be passed to
make this clear if it was thought necessary.
The President said he would at once sign the
bill with this understanding and call atten-
tion to the desirability of the legislation de-
sired by the inspector general. The ship,

WASHINGTON, June 18.-The Senate
passed this afternoon Senator Frye's bill for
the encouragement of the American mer-
chant marine and to promote postal and
commercial relations with foreign countries.
Thissbill allows for the transporting OF the
mails of the United States between any port
of the United States and any foreign port or
between ports on the Atlantic and ports on
the Pacific, touching at any foreign port, the
payment of a sum not exceeding 80 cents per
mile each way of actual nautical miles tray
elled between terminal points, such service
to be performed only under under contract
entered into by the Postmaster General and
the lowest responsible bidder, The ships
with which such contracts are made are to
be of American register only, and contracts
for not more than four years. This bill
practically repeals the provisions Of the So
called subsidy clause to the post Office APP
preparation bill and will give the House
another chance to pass upon it.
The Senate has also passed the bill to pay
A. NJ. B. Hubbard, administrator of the es-
tate of Edward Hubbard, $336.41 for the
transporting OF mails between Wiscasset and
Sheepscot Bridge from Dec. s, 1871, to Feb.
II, 1873. The bill passed the House March
31St last
Congressman Dingley called upon the
President this forenoon and after some con
sultation the President agreed to sign the

to introduce supplementary bill covering
some points the President thought not fully
covered by the bill as passed by Congress.

How morrison Bears defeat.

Mr.. Morrison, although he had anticipated
his defeat, showed his disappointment Last
night he had stated that 'he knew he was
beaten" but he did not seem to know that
today, for he gave notice that he should
move again next Tuesday to call up his bill
There were some ten Representatives, who
did not vote and were not paired. Some,
possibly most of them, lodged; and it is not
probable that Morrison can secure any re-
cruits from them. But he says to his friends
it is his purpose to make the protectionist
Democrats put themselves on record: He is
very indignant, of course, at Randall and his
followers, and claims the thirty-three Demo-
Gratis have betrayed their party and aban-
doned its pledges as contained in the ma
tional platform. But Mr.. Morrison does not
need to go to Pennsylvania to find traitors
to his party In his own State, both the
Democrats from, Chicago voted with the Re
publicans -Lawler and Ward. Mr.. Morrison
endeayored to keep them in the party traces,
but was informed by one of them that ill one
ward in his district in Chicago there We're
more Democratic voters than in Morrison 5
entire district, and that there was not one of
those voters who believed in free trade prin-
ciples. This days work, perhaps, marks
more sharply than ever the division in the
