RUSHING THINGS. ‘WasmrxeToN, June 20.—Congress is making up for the happy-go-easy way in which it has been conducting itself, and the sccomulated mass of business that has been elighted for so long is now beiog pushed through with unwise and dangorous haste. It is probable that there will be an almost continuons session from this till the time of adjournment. Thero is on all hands an evident determination to adjourn on Monday, althongh tke provokingly slow and deliberate maunner in which the Senate proceeds threatens to proloog the session at least till noon. of Tuesdsy. The President, attended by bhis Cabinet, was in his room at the Capitol nearly all day signing bills. Both Houses arc in session to-night work- ing like beavers. Amidst the greatest confusion THE CIVIL-BIGHTS DILL was cleverly killed in tho Houre to-night. It was brought up under the two-thirds rules, and only roceived 140 yoas to 91 nays, The friends of “the bill bave worked hard to keep it {from a vote under tho two-thirds rule, well knowtug that it would be defeated aa it stands. However, it is_rejocted without prejudice, and lies on the Speaker's table whence it may be taken at the next session and passed by a baro majority. No one Lopes to got it up again ths seasion, and 1t is beliaved that delsy will operate againut it. i N THE CURRTNCY. BILL. All parties seem pleased at ttio adoption of the couference report on the Currency bill. ~There was & fecling that something must bo done by way of fiuancial legislation before sdjournment, whetlier it was of auy importanco ornot, As the bill will not materiaily change anything, nobody complains oxcept a few Eastern men, who don't like the redistribution festure of the enactment. It is generally beliered that tho President will sign the bill, if he has not alreaay done s0. THE BAID ON BUTLER. The proceedings of last night's session are sevoraly commented upon as a disgrace in the American Congress. No sense is found for Dutler's extraordinary cowso in making his speech, and nearly all tho speakers, under stress of proat’ excitoment, said hareh and unwar- ranted things by way of crimination and recrim- ination that would better havae been Jeft unsaid. Whilo Butler was completely unhoreea, and lost » great deal of tho little sympatby entertuned for him thera was emongst members, it is not behoved that those who overthrew him are particularly proud of the manner in which they compassed the result. Thero is sbme comfort, however, in the reflection that Batler lost bis grip, and will probably never be ble to regain his lost gronnd. 1lis orco as disturbing element s broken. THE DISTRICT BILL. The President’s message, recommending an in- crease of the 1ato of interest on tho bonds, n which it 18 proposed to fund the District debt, has not been favorably recsived. It appears to bo more in tho interest of the District ring and epoculators, than for the people. Immediately aftor it was reed in the Senato Mr. Thurman moved its referenco to the Joint Committeo on the District, and manifested a desito to speak, but yielded at tho request of r. Morritl, of Maino, remarking, as ho did 8o, in an audible, aside, “Ionly wantto koock this thing on the head, and I can do it n just fifteen minutes.” i s s v NOTES AND REWS. NOMTNATIONE.

Mr. MORRILL (Vt.) reported favorably on the bill amendatory of the act for tho eréction of a public building for_the use of tho United States at Atlanta, Ga. Placed on tho calendar. SUNDEY CIVIL BILL. The Senate proceeded with the consideration of the Sundry Civil Approprintion biil, and amendmeuts of the Commitieo were agrood to, among others as follows : For theestablishment of new lite-eaving institatious on the sea and Inke consts, $312,304; to euable tho Secretary of the Treasury to collect aud arrange, for tho use of all, vouchers, papers, ctc,, and to tako testimony a8 to olaims agsinst tho United States, to bo pzid only upon certificale of Commissioners of Claims, §20,600; to enable the Sccretary of the Navy to complete the observation of the transit of Venus, 325,000; for the District of Columbia, $1,300,000, to be expended by the Comanssioners of #aid District ; limiting the cost of the Custom-Houso and Post- Oflico 2t Cineinna: £ 33,500,000 ; continuing tho appropriation of £100,0u0 for the eraction of & public building at Covington, Ky., and limiting tho cost thereof to ¥25,000; Lmiting the cost of public buildings at Nasnville to $377,000. The second section of the bill, as it cawme from tho House, abolishing the Civil-Service Com- mission and proseribiag rules {or puointments in the department, was stricken out by the Com- mitteee, and a now Ecction reported, restoring the Comnnssion, and appiopriating $150,000 for the expenses thereuf. The action of the Com- mittes was agreod to—yeas, 32 ; naye, 16. The amendments reportod by tie Committes baving been acted upsx, tho CHAIR announced that the bill wes open to farther amendment. MISS ANTIONY'S FINE. Edmunds, from the Judiciary Committes, by unanimous consent, made a report upon he petition of Susau L. Anthony for the remisaton of the fiue imposed upon her by the Uniied States District Court for tho Northern Districttol New York, and a bill iniroduced to tho Scnate to enable her to pay ber fine. He said tne Com- mitteo Teport adversely, and asked thab the Commitieo be discharged from farther coosideration of tho subject, for the reason that the Committce did mnot fecl satisfied that tho staiement contained in the petition in respect to the rulings of the Judge of the Northern District of Now York was vrecizely s ropresented by the potitioner. And again, the Committeo did not believe it had the power to roview United Siates Courts. If petitioner thought her couviction erroncous, she could apply to the Esccutive, who had tho power to pardon her. Tue Committeo was discharged from further coneideratiou of the subject, and the bill was indefinitely postpoued. Mr. CARPENIER, expressing Lis viows as o minority of the Seuate Judiciars Committee, regarding the memorial of Susan B. Anthoay, says the decision of tho Court on her trial was erroncous in taking the caso from the jury and dirceting the verdict, end refusing the request of her counsel to have the e‘nry polled, thus de- nying to the jury not only the moral right, but oven tho power, of reudeting & verdict of not guilty. ~Mr. Carpeuter concura with tho majoriiy of the Committeo that Congress canmot grant the precise rolief prayed for in the memorial, but he claima it to be tue duty of Congress to declaro iis dis- approval of tho doctrino asserted and course pursued in the trial of Miss Anthony, and ali the maore for the reason that no Judicial Court has jurisdiction to roview tho procoedings therein. TIE STNSBY CIVIL BILL AGAIN. The Hous pmitted an amendwent to the Sundry Cisil bill appropriating 200,00 for com- mencing the construction of & new build- ing for the livrery of Congress, provided that no expen.lituro for grsund shall be incurrad, and tho Joumnt Committes on tho Livrery of Congress, to- goshier wita the Librarun, shall bave supervision of the location and ercction of #aid ouilding, aud authorizing the Committee to st during the ing diccussion on the library amendments Mr. SHERMAN eubmitted en smendmeut appro- prisling §16,100 for additional clorical force in ths ofiico of the Comptroller of the Treasury. Agreod to. A messaze was recoived from tho Fonee refus- ing to agreo to tuo report of tho Confercoce Cmuttes on tho Indian Appropriation bill, aud asking & now conterence. JMr. WINDODI raid the point of differenco was in regard tothe sppropriation for the Araches in Now Mexico. He moved that the Senate insist upon its amendment and grant s cunfereuco. Agreed to, and the Chair was directed to appoint a committee. p Discussion was then resumed upon the amend- ments 1n regard to s new Livrary buildiog, pend- ing which 3r. FERRY (Mich.) moved that tho Savate teke a recess uatil 8 o'clock. ir. MORRILL (Me.), said tio Sandry Cisil pllcould be furnizhed by 8 aud sent tothe House, but 1f a recees be taken, it would be turown over till Mondzy, and in that case Con- gress could not adjourn on that dey. The motion of Mr. Ferry for recess wasre- jected—Yeus, 13 ; navs, 34. The xubstitute of Mr. Wright, instructing tbe Comwitteo on Library aud Librarian to injuire iuto the neceesity of erocting & new building, the protable cost thereof, and whether tho pres- ent library can be - eolarged; also upon what terms switable grounds for a new building can be obtained, was azreedto. ° JMr. BUCKINGHAM submitted an amendment appropriating €100,000 for the support of tho Lydrozraphic otice of the Navy Departwment. Aprecd to. AMr. ALLISON, from the Joint Select Com- mittee on District Affairs, submitted a report upon the message of the President, submitted 0 the Committes to-dav, stating that the Com- mittee bad not changed tts views on the subject of the rate of interest oa the bonds named. He said be bad the highest suthority for éaviog that the I dent was satisfied with’ the bl as it wes paseed, after being mado familiar witi all the facts. Mr. SARGENT thought that an extraordinary statement, and called tae Senator to order. The CHAIR ruled tha che statement was nok out of order. The report was ordered to be printed and tbe Committee was dis:harged from tho further con- sideration of the subject. - 7 Mr. GORDOX submitted au amendment limit- ing the cost of tho public building at Atlanta, Ga., to §230,000. Agreed to. A large number of smendments for the psyment of claime or to begin improvemonts were submitted by various Seua‘ors, but ruled cut on points of order rawsed bs 3r.

POLAND, from the Committes on Arkan- eas Affairs, presented tho tessimony already taken, which was ordered printed, and a resola- tion to continue the powersof the Committeo during the vacation. Mr. ELDREDGE remarked that tho Arkansas caso was very like tho Sonth Carolina caso, and would take & great deal moro money out of the Treasary. it was not in the power of the Fed- eral Government to interfero in the matter. _ Mr. POLAND enid the Committes had exam- ined a coneiderable number of witnesses from Arkansas, and had got a general idea of the con- dition of thinga. The Committeo was unan~ imously of the opiniou, the Democratic members of it as well #8 the Republican mombery, that it was necessary for the peace and good order of things in Arkansas thazthe Committee ehiould be conrinned during tho vacation. So far as tho individual members of the Committee wero con- cerned, they bad no special desire to visit Arkangas, but they wero of the opinion tiat it ‘was higtly proper and importauat that th. - mitteo should be contmued. The resolation was adopted—yess, 139 : nays, 74 CONFERENCE CURBENCY BILL. Mr. DAWES prosented the report of tho Con- ference Committee oa the Curroncy bill, and proceeded 10 explain it. He regretted that the report did noc contain, 18 the first confecence report bad, any provision either for tho ealy re- sumpiion of specie payments on tho part of the Goverument, or for eny retirement under any circams:ances of any portion of the Governmeat issue. Ho regrets exceedingly that it had been found impossible to bring the two Houses to- gethor on any ench agrecment. But the matter which seemed to some not only to be demanded by public faith, but also scemed easy of accomplishment, had been found unsbla to regulate through the two Houses or in two Conference Committees. The Committee. however, conld not hesitate to fcel that the fixing of the maximum issue of preenbacks was eomething gained. It had therefore fixed tho maximum at 332,000,600, and required it to be kept in cirenlation instead of having part of it kep: in reservo in the Treas- ury, to be shot out ordrawn inasif on_somo tramway. The sccopd featuro of tho bill was equally important. It was that thero shouid ba: no further incresse of the National-Bank car- Tency, thorefore the country would know, so far a8 this Congress was concerned. that the whole volamn of tho National-Bank curroncy was capa- blo of being ascertained. Another guestion which had stared tho Com: mittee io the face was the necessity of the distri- bution of the National-Bank carrency, and,as he was tho only member of tho Conference Com- mittee who represented a section of the country which had moro than its share of tho bauk-nota circulation, it would not have beon becoming in him to_opporo redistnbution. He had, thero- fore, given in his adbesion to the report, Which proposed to redistribute 55,000,000 of the $50,000,000 now retained by one scction of the country more then it was eutitled to by ratio of wealth'and population. ‘Aunother feature was as to the mational re- scrve, and on that point ho explained what wonld be tho effcct of tho bill. He commended this report to_the consideration of the House, and particularly to that section of the country which bad steadily refused two things,— an inerease in the volume of the cur- rency, and freo banking,—and which &b the ¢Rme timo got $50,000.000 more than its ebere of tho currency. He would gay $o that section of the country that it could not afford to staad before the people in tho light of hrsitating whether it would' do justice w the distribuzion of what currency thero 18. If it re- fused to permit auy morw ho dosired to suggest that that section of tho country was ultimacely 1 tho power of the other secction, which only deumnged this equitable distribution, and noth- ing more, To do equitably was the urest way 10 Becure cquity. AMr. HAWLEY (Coon.) declared, as a New Englander, and _as a ropresentative of the bank- ing centre, that bo was willinz to voto for the redistribution of $55,000,000 if that part of the bill were separated fromthe rest. He cxpocted to Linvo voted o the proposition to thateffect offered by 3r. Kasson. Mr. HUBBELL addressed Mr. Iawley. 3fr. JAWLEY (impetuonsly)—Not a word. AMr. HUBBELL—Doca not the gentleman know it is impossible to vots for 2 redristibution of £55,000,000 nlexs b voes for this biti? 3. HAWLEY—I chim the floor without-in- terription. I say, as a New Englander, that you ara at liberty to take all of this currency which is necessary to equelize the distribation, but I will not vote for any measuro that increases the volume of irredecmable parer currency, or that decroases the value of the currency in actual Qse, and thereby expands prices to tho widest margin between pap-r and gold, and to that ox- ten: postpoaes indefimitely tho day of resumo- tion. The gentlemun has got to como to this doctrino just a8 sure as grass grows and water runs. Alr. KELLEY—No, sou hive got to abandon it, Mr. HALE (Me.) s2id e, like the gontlemzn from Counecticut (Hawles) was willing to voto for o redistribution of the ok circulation, but he weut farther than that, He was not only will- ing to vot for it asa just proportion of fairness, but he was going to vote for this bill. [Cries of Good! Good! Amon!] The difference between them—Hasiley and himeelf—was that tho gen- tleman from Conuecticut was in favor of a fair distribution when 1t conld not be voted, while Lo (I2lo) was in favor of it when it could be yoted oa. Mr. HAWLEY (in loud &nd snpry tones)— That is an unjust and ungoutlemsnly insiods- tion, [Cries of ozder 2nd loud bamineriog of tho Specker's gevel.] It 1s a dishonorable stato- ment. Mr. MAYNARD—I call tho gentleman to order. sud ask that his woxds bo taken down. SPEAKER—Tho words wese eutirely unpar- hn}x}muwr_v. r. words SPEAKER—The words from the gentleman of Connccticut were entirely unpariamentary. Mr. JAWLEY—So far as they may be of an unparliamentary character I withdraw them. Air. HALE—I Liave been hérc too long to be cowed down by the gentleman from Connccti- cut. I was eaving, sud I repeat it for tue beuo- fitof the gentloman from Connecticut, that he i3 in favor of distribntion when it is not up, sud bas just declared that he will pot votu for it when it is up, but I am in favor of it, and wiil vote for it wben an oppcrtunity occuwrs. Iwill do it, as I said before, 1n & #pirit of fairnees and concessicn to anotiser sectioa of the country. While I do not beliova thatit is based on any fair principles of finance, still I believo that w-ciion of tue comntry to which it belungs is honest in its demauds, sad I am willing to mako the concensi . 3Mr. SHANKS—You think the Wess i honest, but not very sensiblo in this propoai- tian. Mr. KELLEY favored the conference roport. Ttdidnot retire a greeaback nor fix an arbitrary day for tio resumption of specie Layment; nor did it add to the volumo of the currency, but it did open the way for the uae of thai which was now lozked up in the bauk-vaults, or put into circalation fraudulently and illegsliz. In tbe name of thie Vest and Soutn, where toe power of empire dweit, be aesured tho two pentlemen from. Connecticut and Maino (Hawley sad Hale) that from session to session, and from election to election, the issuo wouid bo brought to thie people, until tho Gorernment should be found to resids 1n tue people, and not in a sma.l fraction of the peopla that dwelt est of the Hudson or in the moueved centres.

A State Board of Equalization was created by an act approved arch 8, 1867, invested with similar_powers o those conferr'd upon that Board by the act in force Juiy 1, 472, That act remained in farce uutil superseded by the last-named act, 1 Iuthe case of thoex rel. otc. va.

When, therefore, the Coustitutional Couvention of 1570 readopted the lane guago quoted, and made 1t 3 part of the Constitution then adoptud, it was known that sll the departments of tha State Government held that it did not probibit the Legislature from creating a State Board of Equal~ fzation, and iuvesting it with power to equaliza tha aseeavnents of the differsnt counties, for the purpose of prolucing uniformity in the valuation, and had it been intonded that the Legialature thereafter should not poesss this power it is impossible to be- lieve that s exerciso would not have been prohibited in unambiguous language, We hava at the present term, in Porter ¢t al, vs, the R, R L &St L.

The wrong, if such it be, under which appellant suffers, results, ad e muat presume, from the fact that, when his prop. erty was assenscd by tho local Asreasor it was asseased relatively too high, Thers ia no averment in the bi Dy which tlus presumption ix excluded, and it is sup< ported by the action of the Board of Equalizat which proceeded upon tho Liyothesis that the averag valuation in that county waa cent too low, Tho Board of Lqualization posseeses no power id Tedress individual grisvauces resulting from {mpropes valuations, Their duty is confined to equalizing tha general valuations ; Lut by Sec. 86 of the Revenug Bct, In force July 1, 1876,it i3 provided that, in counties under township organization, the Assessor, Clark, and Supervisor of the town sball mect ou the fourth Mo day of Jue for Lhe purpose of revioming the asseas ment of property in such town, and, on the application of any pérson consldering himeelf aggrioved, or wha sball complain that the property of another is asucased 100 low, they shall review tho assessment sud correct. the sama as shall sppear to them just.
