Washington, April 6.-The proposition
In the postofiice appropriation bill affect
ing the consolidation OF small postofices

long debate in the Senate to-day. in which
there was an exhibition Of much political
and personal feeling. While the presen;
administration OF the postofiice depart
ment received commentator from re-
publican senator (Mr. Wolcott of Colo
rado). it received severe criticism from a
democratic senator (Afr German of Mary
lanO and President Cleveland came in
for a large measure OF abuse from pop
ulist senator CMr Allen Of Nebraska).
According to Mr.. Wolcott, the affairs
of the postofice department are being
ably and intelligently conducted"
Mr.. German ironically congratulated the
postoffice department that it had a re-
publican senator for defender: and he
suggested, with biting sarcasm, that many
acts of the administration could best be
defended by some republican. lie con-
demned Postmaster General Wilson for

of his office, and quoted the homely prov

Mr.. Allen was even less reserved In the
expression OF his views. The greatest mug
wump in the country, he said was Install
ed in the white house, although he thought
II was difficult to tell whether Mr.. CleVe-
land was more OF a mugwump than he was
OF an imperial democrat. lie added that
Mr. Cleveland was a disgrace to the great
office he occupied and that he ought not to
be, and doubtless would not be. returned
to that position again.
The session closed without a vote having
been reached; but II was agreed that a
vote should be taken at o'clock to-mor-
row on the bill and all pending amend
ments.
A message was received announcing the
action Of the House on the Cuban resolu-
tons; but no further action on the part
of the Senate was necessary.
The Senate at $3.50 O'Clock adjourned.

Beach, marshal of Brunswick. has filed in
the United States court here his answer
to the ancillary bill OF ]. n. Talley, the
receiver of the property. Receiver Talley
fled his bill for the purpose of stopping
sale of certain portion of
the property by the city of
Brunswick for taxes. Marshal Beach
makes answer that he did advertise for
sale a certain portion of the property for
the purpose of collecting SASS, which was
due the city of Brunswick as taxes. The
owners of the property, he said, under
such sale had the right to buy it back
within twelve months by paying the taxes
and costs, and he did not think he should
be interfered with, as it was debt due the
city which operated as a lien upon the
property, and which, he said, should be
paid. He also filed a demurrer to the bill
Of Receiver Talley, claiming there was no
equity in it and asking tnat it be dis
