Proceedings of Congress.
WASHINGTON, D. o.. June 5.
SENATE.

WASHINGTON, ID. o., June b.
SENATE.
After some unimportant business among
which was the passage OF the House bill to
establish national military park on the
battlefield of Chlcamauga, the silver bill
was taken Ut, and Mr.. Hlscock addressed
the Senate In opposition to the free coinage
of silver. He said the republican national
convention (if the proposition for ffes cSs:-
ase had been submitted to it) would have
rel scted 1t by an overwhelming msiority.
HOUSE.
Mr.. Mckinley, of Ohio, from the COM
mittee on ruler, reported resolution pre-
viding that the House shall proceed imme-
distely to the consideration of the silver
bill, and that the consideration shall con-
tinue until Saturday at p. NJ, when the
previous question shall be considered as
| ordered.
Mr. Blount, Of Georgia, said he had no
| obje ction to the time limited for debate, but
he was informed that the chairman of the
com mittee on coinage would be allowed to
Offer all the amendments which were ad-
missible under the rules OF the House.
/ When these were offered, there would be
left no opportunity to the minority to offer
any amendment. There would be given no
opportunity on the part Of the minority to
ask a vote on the free coinage of silver.
At the republican caucus lass night there
had been much discussion, and 1t was
necessary to whip in the friends of free
silver, by means OF this resolution. 1t was
a wicked, shameful outrage on the minority
There we're many more on the other
side of the chamber who would vote for free
silver but for fear of the President. The
President was In accord with the Secretary
! of the Treasury, and both were In accord
! with Wall street. In the presence Of
thu President and the enemies o.
free coinage, the republicans who
favored free silver were driven to trampling
down the rules OF the House. 1t was hn
miiatiog sight to an American cltlzsn. II
the majority and the President yielded to
the money power, the masses of the people
would hereafter dictate and enforce legsla-
ton In their interests.
Mr.. Bland. of Missouri, said that there
WAS no doubt but that large ms ority oil
the House was ln favor of the unlimited
coinage OF silver. In order to prevent that
fact from appearing on the record, il was
proposed to gag every democrat In the
House and many of the republicans Every
gentleman who voted for this resolution
voted against free silver. The man who
had not manhood and independence enough
to stand up against this gag rule was an un-
Fl representative.
The resolution making the silver bill a
special order was adopted. Yeas, 100; nays,
III.
Mr.. Biount voted In the affirmative and
moved a reconsideration.
The motion to reconsider was tabled.
Yeap, 121; nays, lis.
The republicans who voted in the mega
tive were Messrs. Anderson, of Kansas, Bar
tine. Council, Dehaven, Fsatherston, Fun
stop, Kelly, Morrow, Hermann and Towns
end, OF Colorado. No democrats voted In
the affirmative.

olins is entitled, to negro named Miller,
not one of the present members OF the

for the assigned reason that the
svstem of voting In South Carolina,
by which there is separate ballot box Tor
each candidate, in effect imposes an educa-
tional qualification upon suffrage, which, by
a law of Congress, the southern States are
prohibited from doing. though the northern
States, Massachusetts for instance, DO 30
with impunity. This country has long since
CEASED to be a union of free and equal
States.

SOME OF the South-hating northern re-

THE FIREMEN'S PARADE.

The 6remen's parade to-day, given in
honor of the Virginia State Firemen's Asso-
citation, in session in this city, was q
sncoess in every particular. and though the
weather was rather warm for marching, all
who took part enjoyed 1t, while the specta-
tors. who embraced many besides the citi-
zens of Alexandria, were more than pleased.
The parade was distinctively f'emen's
parade, no other organization taking part.
The apparatus of the various companies
taking part was in excellent order, each
piece locking as bright aud new as when first
turned out, while the decorations were
beautiful. The fremen themselves were all
dressed in their bright and snowy uniform,
and it Is safe TO cay that no city in the State
can turn out better looking body OF fire
men who are more ready to respond or
competent to act when the danger alarm is
sounded.
The parade was under the management OF
delegates from the several fire companies
and citizens committee composed OF
Messrs. John Donnely, Chas. a. StrsngnaD,
Nj. Schiller, John H. Strider, r. /. Lucas
George s. Smith, VIM. Rogers, d. A. WING
sor, e E. Downham, r. nj. Latham, Geo. a.
Appch, Il. n. Gunuy, Cnes. Noouriou, =. ~
Creighton, John Harlow, and WIN. d.
Smith, and all worked earnestly to make
the affair success.
For the past few days many OF the public
buildings and a number of priVate residences
have been gally decorated with flags. &c., land
early this morning at each of the engine
| houses there were men at work getting the
apparatus ready for the parade.
Shortly after one o'clock the different com
panies proceeded to the general rendezvous
Cameron and Washington streets-and
were assigned places in line. The streets
were made lively by the companies headed
by bands of music, marching from their
houses to the places assigned them, while
each piece OF apparatus had admirers
When ell was In readiness Mayor Downhem
the chief marshal, gave the command to
march, and the procession moved az fol

MUSIC HATH CHARMS.

| did not approve Of my mothers idea
OF taking city hOardcrs; still. as she said.
as there were only two OF them, it would
not make much difference in our homo
life
They r.,re an aunt, Mrs. Norton, and
her niece, Mi, Emily Ives, and strange
contrast they made in both appearance
and dnmc&n"r Miss Ives was shroudcd
in til" drI,,t uf mourning costumes,
and a heavy black Grape veil completely
Cuncrll'd lar features. She was not a
widow. That kucw, because in writ
ing TO engage the rooms Mrs. Morton
had called her niece Miss" and had
furthermore added that she had sustained
the loss of friend which had thrown
her into a state of almost hopeless mel
anCholia: that Mrs. MortOn's object in
seeking country place so far from New
York as the Gcnesec valley was in the
hope of effccting an entire change of
scene and thought for her afflicted niece.
Mrs. Morton joined us at our little rus
tic board, but Miss Ives took her meals
in her room, refusing to cross the sill of
her door.
My curiosity was piqued.
lis she ill: | inquired Of mother one
day.
"Oh, no, said mother, "She is in per-
feet health; but when Mrs Morton urges
her to come out with her and see the
beautiful scenery, she says that the sight
OF nature, no matter how lovely, is hate
full to her
Mrs. Morton aaya that, unless some
thing is done to arouse Miss Ives from
her lethargy, she is afraid that she will
go melancholy El2d-and, Godfrey, I've
been thinking that You may be able to
do something to arouse her"
Il, mother" | exclaimed, starting
What could ! possibly do to arouse
her, as you call it,
My mother replied to 10y question:
What could You do? why, you could
play and sing.
This was startling proposition, even
though wa, conceded to be the best mu-
Stefan and to have the finest tenor voice
in all the GcneSce valley.
But. mother ! said, how can |,
who am nothing but an uncultivated
country pumpkin, sing before an accom-
plished lnusi'ian. as am sure Miss Ives
must be-"
Before she sank into this dull and
dreadful state of dependency, Miss Ives
was passionately fond Of music-espe-
cially sacred music, but she will never
listen to a note now if she can help it.
Mrs. Morton and have talked it all over:
told her that YOU have the kind of
sympathetic voice that would melt the
heart of a stone, and she is very anxious
that you should try the experiment.
Il don't ask YOU to sing before her;
but this afternoon Mrs. Morton and are
going out When we are gone. you sit
down to the piano and sing some of those
touching things you know so well how to
sing"
When the ladies were well out Of the
way sat down to the piano, and very
softly began singing some quaint, old
fashioned and plaintive hymns. Between
each one Ipaused awhile, fully expecting
a percmptory message from Miss Ives
for me to stop. None came, and after
while l farc.rd that l heard a light foot
step overheard.
