C., Aug. 5.—The House to- aay fairly declared itself fu favor of an indefinite postponement of the period of the resumption of specie payments. Whatever other name po- litical ingenuity may discover to describe the act, the fact remains that the Ilouse, after vot- ing down a proposition which looked to an ar- rangement for the preparation of some mcans to facilitate the restoration of” specie payments, passed o bill which repeals the date clause of the specie-resumption act without conditions. This result was not reached without a des- perate struggle between the pronounced friends of resumption and the .opponents of the measure, 3 great - majority of whom were inflationists. The Bauking and Currency Committee this afternoon, as indicat- ed yesurdny,g:rcacnted their report for the un- conditional repeal of the date clause or the Spe- cie-Résumption act, with the announcement that NO AMENDMENT WOULD BE PERMITTED. ‘The Committee, however, was so confident of a majority for the bill that Sunsct Cox lost both his head and the control of the bill together in an hour after he presonted it. The opponents of the measure would not be put down without an opportunity to record their votes upon same /measure which luoked towards the substituf of gomothing better in place of the date clause. . Cox resolutely re- fused to permit an amendment even to be voted upon. e opposition to the bill, led by Re- publicans and Democrats alike, resorted fo fili- bustering, d;re\'cnted a quorum, and forced a call of the House. After an hour and a half of nonsense, Cox felt shat THE OPPOSITION WAS TOO STRONG FOR HIM, and permitted the Hewitt bill 1o be offered as 'a substitute. The Bewitt bill simply provides for the appointment of a commission, with instructions to report a bill next December, to ‘nquire into the best means to facilititc the speedy return to specie payments. Cox’s parliamentary blun- der lay in the fact that he permitted this Hewitt bill to be présented as an amendment, in the shape of a sustitute, instead of as an ad- ditional section to the bill. ' The error WAS DISCOVERED TOO LATE. The result was tint the first direct vote was upon the substitute. Had there been a majori- ty for it, the Banking and Currency proposition would have -been 1tterly defeated, and the whole measure driten from the Housc. The Hewitt bill was cefeated, but by a small majority, the vot: being 92 yeas to 104 days. 1t scemed at one time that the ‘Hewitt substitute would, prevail, and, pending the roll-call, Cox andthe leaders of that fac- tion were very busy drumming up recruits. The responsibility for the result of the date clause must be ascribed to the Democrats. ‘Though a considerable number of the members of that party opposed the bill, A GREAT MAJORITY WAS FOR IT. The hard-money men of the party placed themselves in dircet artagonism to the repeal measure. Cox was challenged to explain why he did not propose some of the ative measures suggested by Tilden’s letter, but declined to ansver. The bill was finally forced through entirtly as an clectioneering trick. There were fey honest votes for it ex- cept those cast by Representatives who are of the conviction that nodate should be fixed for specie resumption. THE GDISON BILL, creating a Commissior, was also passed asa su] plement after a detate of two hours. This measure has no necesmry connection with the repeal bill, and was ot presented in any such relation. 1t is maintaned that there is enough left in the Resumption act now to permit the Sccretary of the Treasury to scll bonds and hoard gold preparstory to resumption, even if the date clause is_siricken out. The Repeal- ing act was passed by a vote of 106 to 87 Some of the Western Kepublicans to-night who voted for the repeal ste apprehensive that the fact that an almost united Republican vote was cast against the repeal will have a bad eflcet in their section. This 8 Erchcnsion. however, is shared by very few. There is no honesty what- ever in this Democrati: voting, as there is not the slightest expectation that the Senate will act upon it. The acton to-day will have no other effect than as an electioneering dodge. HOW TILDEN'S FRIENDS ACTED. Tilden’s letter, or message, as the Democrats are anxious to call it, vas tiot received with the satisfaction here which Tilden’s fricnds had hoped. Protracted delay had cast suspicion on the document which an_examination of the text doesnot remove Comparatively few of the Congressmen hav fully informed them- sclves of the contents,and those who have de- dlare it to be an inzenious, insidious, aund jesuitical bid for the grcenback vote ip the emocratic party. Tiat it is, howeven 8 for that vote and not an houcst ex: pression of Tilden’s opinion, many of the greenback Democrats did ~ mot hesitatc to declare today in private conversa- tion. In the House thi was especially observed when the conduct of Hewitt, of New York, Chairman of the Democratic National Commit- tee, and of Ben Willis, was observed. Hewitt and Willis are the Confederate friends of “Tilden, were among his most earncst support- ersat St. Louis,and have been recognized in the private councils of the party here as ‘Tilden’s chosen fricnds_and followers. When, there- fore, Hewitt and Willis led the opposition to the motion of the Banking and Currency Com- mittee for the refeal of the Resumption act, the greenbackers in_the party did not liesitate to declare, with much earnestness, that either Tilde#'s declarations in his letterwere hypocriti- cal, or else his most choscn fricnds and follow- ers had been misled. The result of to-day’s action in the House, so far as that part of the letter Zoes, is at least to create the distrust in the minds of the very carnest inflationists from the South and West in the Democratic party that Tilden is not deal- ing honestly with them. The inflationists, in the morning before the friends of Tilden had taken their positions upon the repeal bill, were disposed to accept Tilden’s letter as at least COUNTENANCING THEIR OWN VIEWS. Anderson, of llinols, and several others of the more pronounced greemback men, pro- nounced it a letter upon which they can staud, while Willis, Tilden’s fricnd, 3 New York hard- money man, states that he will be satiabed with | the financial portions of the letter if they are to be rightly construned. His action later in the day shows, however, that Tilden's friends are not disposed to construe the letter as the infla- tionists would. In this respcct, men of both partics admit that Tilden has achicved a success with his letter, for he has made it upon its sur- face satisfactory to both parties, while in truth he promises nothing to either. VERY BRAZEN. CERTAIN DEMOCRATIC FALSEIOODS CIRCULATED ¥OR ELECTION PURPOSES. ‘Wasnmseroy, D. C., Aug. 5.—The Commit- tee on Expenditures in the Department of Jus- tice made majority and minority reports to-day. The majority report recommends the regulation of the Judiciary fund to $2,500,000; finds that Davenport, Supervisor of Elcctions in New York, has not accounted for $34,000 given him from the Ku-Klux fund, and that the President and two Attorney-Generals (Akerman and Williams) who supplied Davenport with the $34,000 diverted it from the proper purpose to one cntirely forcign to the objects of the law. It i recommended, thercfore, that Supdrvisors of Elections be abolished, and that the Election laws of Congress be repealed, or, if not rcpealed, that strict accounting shall be made of the Ku-Klux fand, no part of it to be used in the machinery of elections; that the Attorney-General take the necessary steps to recover the $35,000 unaccounted for; and that no person be allowed to hold_more than one of- fice under the United States Government. THE MINORITY REPORT says that the majority report is merely a cam- paign document, defends John I. Davenport, and claims that, instead of censure, Akerman, Williams, and Davenport arc entitled to com- mendation. NOTES AND NEWS. THE HAMBURG GUTCIHERY. Special Dispatch o The Tribune. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 5.—The Senate de- 4 voted the day to the consideration of Southern 4 outrages. Even those who are opposed to what they call the bloody-shirt business considered that such discussion was preferable to the passage of the host of waiting claims awaiting in the absence of re- y ports from Conference Committees on the Appropriation bills. There is nothing for the Senate to do except to pass bills, unless the tedious subjects of the Hawaiian Treaty and the Union Pacific Railroad are to be taken up in the dog-days. Mr. Morton set forth at great length and in strong character the dreadful story of the Hamburg massacre, and placed. on the record a thrilling history of that mnrderous affair which will keeo the Democrats busy d ur- ing the campaigh to explain. THE ARMY COMMISSION. Speaker Saylor has appointed Gen. A. Hurl- but, of Illinois, a member of the Commission ordered by Congress to prepare a plan to en- tircly reorganize the army upon a basis which will increase its efficiency. Hurlbut was chosen on account of his long sérvice upon the Military Committee, where be bas shown himself to be familiar with the principles of military science and the practical wants of the army. e Com- ‘mission will a&mbnb)y hold a preliminary meet- ing shortly after the adjournment of Congress, and will again meet early in November to con- sider the plans which they may mature during the recess. THE RIVER AND HARBOR BILL. To the Western Assockated Press. ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 5.—~The Commit- teeof Confersnce of the River and Harbor Ap- propriation bill this afternoon agrced upon o report which will be presented on Monday. The bill is not increased above the total of $5,000,000. The changes are few, and consist generally in the transfer of small amounts from one purpose to another, and the reinstatement of some of the small House items omitted by the Senate. NOT TMPEACHABLE. ‘The House Committee investizating Judge ‘Wylic, of the District Supreme Court, upani- mously declare there is no evidence to warrant his impeachment. CONFIRMED. The Senate in executive session confirmed Jobn G. Ellis, Postmaster at Wilton Junction, TIa.; Samuel F. Cooper, of Iowa, Consul at Glas- ow; Harmon Van Armin, of New York, United tates Consul at Laguyara. THE WAR DEPARTMENT INQUIRY. Mr. Danford presented the views of himself and other Republican members of the Commit- tee on the Expenditures of the War Depart- ment. He characterized the report of the ma- jority as campaign literature, and non-concurs inthe sweeping condemnation of Ingalls and rega in the moth contract. THE RECORD. SENATE. WasHiNgTox, D. C., Aug. 5.—3r. Thurman called up the Senate bill to provide for and regulate the counting of votes for President and Vice-President, and the decision of ques- tions arising thercon, which passed the Seaate on the 24th of March last, but the vote on its finsl passage was reconsidered on the 19th of April. He said his object was to have the bill passed now without debate, that it might go to the House and be perfected at this session if possible. Mr. Frelinghuysen moved that the vote by which the bill was ordered to a third reading be reconsidered, and that it be further amended in 80 anxlous to make his little partisan speech that he coald not wait to have his resolution taken up again, but on this Indian bill he saw fit to make thie stump-speech, Ho entercd the list with his armor on, and with the same old ancient sabre to surup the Northern mind, to make the people of the North hate the people of the South. He sup- poted the Senator from Indiana could not help it. his thing had become a chronic disease with him, and nothing seemed to afford him so much delight as to find thatafew colored people in the South had been killed. When such things did hap- pen the Senator_ thanked the Almignty for this, andto the Republican party he (Thurman) could hardly belp blushing for the Senator from Indians, when he was guilty of the small criticism that Tilden and Hendricks had not noticed the Hamburg matter. They would have made themselves the laughing etock of the whole country if they had done any such thing. How came it that Wheeler, Repablican candidate for Vice-President, made no ‘mention in his letter of these Southern' troubles? Why did not Gov. Hayes, in his letter of accept- ance, make liberal extracts from the specches of the Senator from Indiana? Why did not Gov. Hayes, 2 mild-mannered man and_brave soldier, holst the bloody flag instead of speaking in languaze of mild- ness and kindness towards the South? If the statc- ments of Gov. Chamberlain and the Attorney-Gen- eral of South Carolina were- true in regard to the Hamburg difficulty, then a crime had heen committed ' of which he conld ot find Ianguage to condemn. It added brutality to cowardice, the meanest ana bsest cowardiee, The shooting of unarmed prisoners was a crime too gross to be described by words. No doubt there are indiscreet men in the South, and they were the worst cnemies of that section. The en- tire militia of South Carolina was composed of col- ored men, and the arms had been taken from the white companies of the country. It was said not longago by one high in station, ‘‘Let us bave peace,” but instead of that it scemed there was no end of the crusade of hate towards the South. When was the country to have peace if this thing went on ? Ar. Morton answered: When murders ceased on account of race there would be peace. The crime of the Republican party was talk- ing abont this thing. ~Let the Killing be stopped and the Republicans will stop talking nbout it. e read from the letter of Hendricks, and #aid that gentleman did not <on- demn the bloodshed but condemned the party try- ing to make capital on sccount of that bloodshed. The report. of tbe Conference Committee on the bill to provide for the sale of the Osage cedar lands, ctc., was here agroed to—yeas, 20; nays, 1 Discussion of the Morton resolution was resum- ed, Mr. Saulsbury arguing aganst the adoption of the resolution, and for the punishment of the per- petrators of the Hambarg crimes. Mr. Cameron (Penn.) said there had been mur- ders in Pennsylvania, but the State authorities had | arrested the murderers and six of them were now sentenced to be hanged. He had no donbt bat that thirty would be hanged before the authorities got throngh. Whenever the people of the South should take uteps to have specdy justice dealt out to mardcrers, he would say they had done well. In Pennsylvania every man, no matter what his poli- tics, favored the punishinent of crimiuals in that tate. the Scnate before belng sent to the House. Agreed to. The matter was then laid aside, with the un- derstanding that it should be taken up after the amendments should be prepared. Mr. Morton moved to take up the resolution to print 10,000 extra copics of the President’s message and the accompanying documents in reference to the recent trouble at Hamburg, 8.C. Mr. Thurman hoped it would not be taken up, because it would give rise to a very useless de- bate. There Was more important business be- fore the Senate than printing papers as mere clectioneering documents. On motion of Mr. Edmunds, the regular or- der—the Post-Route bill—was laid on the table, —yeas, 32; nays, 17,—and the consideration of the M;;mn resolution was renewed by a vote of 32 to18. Mr. Thurman renewed his motion to postpone ‘Morton's resolution, and take up the Pacific Rail- road Sinking Fund bills; but before the vote was taken Mr. Ingalls, by unanimous consent. made a report from the Conference Committee on the bill toprovide for the sale of Osage ceded lands in Kansas to actual settlers, which was debated at sn;nc Jen: hhby Messrs. Edmu=t¥, Thurman, T~ le, and others. o B Alorton nqnired whs had bocuine of his res olution. 4 win The Chatr replied that the conference repor being conslderod by =oanimous consent. 1d b r. Morton sa¥ ac did not think he wonl e drnen into debat On this conference report, but his resolutiop 23d been switched off 50 _hand<ome- 1y that he flt called upon to ua{ something in re- iy to sac Senator from Ohio. 1t was true there \vere murders in the Northern States, sometimes for gain, eometimes for passion, sometimes on ac- count of hate, but there were no marders commit- ted to control the politics of States. The murders in the South were committed under the direction of men who wrote for newspapers and called them- selvesgentlemen. He desired to call the attention of the Sepate to the fact that the letters of acceptance of Tilden and Hendricks, in which they talked abont e\'erylhln& else, but made no mention of the massacreat Hamburg. He would make a statement. deliberately and impartially, that Tilden and_Hendricks dare not denounce the men who committed the murders at Hamburg, Couchat- ta, Colfax, and elscwhere, because their prospects of carrying four or five Republican States depended npon the inflaence and support of the class of men Who committed ticee murders. Mr. Morton here had read the letter of Gov. Chumberlain, and the report of the Attornes-Gen- cral of South Carolina, in rezara to the Hamburg difficulty, and xaid a terrorism now existed in South Carolina and nearly every other Southern State which prevented the punishment of any man for killing a negro. He challenged Senators on the other side to name 8 single instance where a white man had been punished in the South for killing a negro. Mr. Merrimon—It is done repestedly in my State. Mr. Withers—So it s n mine. y Mr. Morton said it was_possible that, if a white Republican and a negro got into a fight, the white Republican_would be punished. (Cries of **Oh!™ *Oh!" on the Democratic side.] Concluding his remarks. he eaid, with all that Gov. Chamberlain. could do, the prosecutions of these fonl murders would come to nothing. If such men 12 Tilden and Hendricks and the Jeaders of the Democratic party were to_come outand de- nounce these things and demand that the perpe- trators of the crimes be brought to justice, the murders wonld be stopped. There was no_use 0 deny that those murders were for political pur- poses. His friend Thurman might as well try to conceal Mount Vesuvius by spreading his pocket- Dandkerchief over the crater.

Mr. Bland's Silver bill was taken up as the regu- lar order, Mr. Hale suggesting that the _attempt of the gentleman (Mr. Bland) to force the bill through the morning hour was nscless, and he thought the gentleman should withdraw his call for the pre- vious question. Mr. Bland replied that when the bill demonetiz- ing silver was passed surreptitiously by zentiemen who represented the money-sharks of the country there had been no filibustering, and it wonld be pusilionimous of him should he give up trying to £t through his bill becanse of a filibustering mo- tion. Mr. Pierce sald the statement that ** that bill peat through surreptitiously ™ is untrue. It zad ‘been three years before Congress. Mr. Bland—It was a fraud.

THE RESUMPTION REPEAL BILL. Mr. Cox, the Chairman of the Committee on Banking and Currency, reported a bill to repeal sections of the Resumption act of July 14, 1875, which directs the Secretary of the Treasury to re- deem in coin the legal-tender notes then outatand- ing, and proposed to allow an hour and a haif for its discussion, and a like time for the farther dis- | cussion of the bill which he was directed to report providing for & commission on the eubject. He would decline, however, to allow amendments to be offered. He opened the argument by declaring his belief that the fixing of & day for resumption waa & hopeless menace to prosperity; that it ef- fected no good, and that it was niterly nseless for all practical purposes. The best business men of the country had said €0, and said 8o to his Com- mittee. The bill which it was proposed to repcal in part had passed Congress as a party necessity, under the whip and spur of the previous question. r.

As the vote pmircucd great iuterest was mani- fested in the result. Mr. Stone had a chair in the arena near the Clerk's desk, and kept a tally of the vote, and a group of members gathered around him to watch how it was going. Others were mak- ing inquiries at the Clerk's desk, and, finally, the Speaker pro tem. had to insist on members taking their seats and not interfere with the Clerk's du- ties. Finally, the vole was announced as yeas, 92: nays, 10+. So the substitute was rejected.
