Special Dispatch ta The Tribune, ‘WasminaToN, D, C., Aug. 15—The scssfon closed at 7:30 this evelng, withless excltement than usually attends such oceasions. Members in both llouses were generally tired. Tihere was little to give lifu to tho proceedings. The serlous work of the dny was the reconclling of differences between the House on the bill pro- viding additional troops for the Bloux campaign, Tho Benate resolved not to fix any hour for adfournment till that bill was passed. The majority in the House were quite willing to pass either the Senate or Houso proposition, hut there were o number on the Confederate sldo who were determined to kil the bill at oll hozards, mot even ylclding at tho representations of the extreme need of troops {o help the columns now operating against the 8loux, Leading Democrats saw plainly the great political blunder of thisoppo- sitlon, but nonoof them could control these hot-headed men who swaggered around, saying if tho Prealdont wanted help to get hia troops In tho Sloux country out of troubla let him take them out of the South, They DID NOT WANT ANY OF THEM THERE. Finally, these Itebel objectors to helplng our soldiers in the Northwest carried the matter so far us to threaten flibustering, and at last the DIl became very near have ing to go over till to-morrow becanse z quorum could 1ith difficulty be obtalned, and after two roll-colls 1t began to be fearcd that 80 many had left to take carly trains that the prolongation of the session for a number of days might bo nccessary te bring them back. Onathird trial, Lowever, n bare quorum was collocted, and the bill was passcd. THI IRREPRESSIBLE, There has been a goneral talk anong thecooler Democrats over the unseemly conduct of Cox last night, and the applause which his exhibition of old-time manuners secured from the Southern elde. It {8 wgrecd by all thoughtful men among them that Cox did great harm, To mnke matters worse, just before adjournment, Page, of Callfornia, revived the whols matter, by saying that it had been agreed that Kasson, of Towu, sliould bo appointed by the Speaker a8 o member of the Cuinmisslon to go to Call- fornin on the Mongolinu Inquiry, and Page pro- ceeded to soy that after Kosson's Tilden speech lnst night, at the dictation of Bouthiern Demno- cratg, the Speaker had ylolded and appolnted another mai. This caused great commotion, ns it let out the full cffect of Kaosson's scorch- ing speech nmong the Democrats, Members were on their fect throughout the Democratic sldo of the House, the aisles wero full, and the Speaker pounding for order, At length the Bergeant-pt-Arms was_ordered to make o mewmber sit down, Ho took the preat mace of the House, and moved around minong :In‘:l tfiumheu with about a8 much effcct ag If he h i a woodchopper carrying a log, Final- ly, however, the Dculzuumumgut partially over Yage's exposurc of thefr petty spite, sud thelr undignifed course towards Kasson, and the Bpeaker opce more got the House partinlly quict, A stir, however, was kept up till a few motnents before adjournment, Both Mr, Bayler and Cox were thanked for thelr courssas 8peak- ers, and the House adjourncid. TUE ARMY BILL.

According to the report of the futerview, the Prestdent stated that there were many misrepresentations mnde {n connection with the official communication between himself aud ex-Secretary Bristow and ex-Bollcitor Wilson, As an fllustration of this, he sald he never asked for the resignation of the former, but ecveral times, when be volun- tarily proposed to resigm, ond was urgently anxious to do 8o, he (President Grant) prevafied upon him to stay In office. Ouce Mr. Bristow fusisted upon hls acceptance of Lis resiznation, Lecause, he sald, he could not undergo the or- deal of superintending another discharge, or the cutting-down of Treasury embloyes sgain, and FOI TAR TIMRD TIME AMr. Bristow tendered it, and fixed the date of Its occurrence, as he would lke It to be upan Junc 21, becauee, ke sald, that was his 44th birtiday, and he would be glad to close his official llfe npun that day. Ou the secund oc- casfon, the Preside~t preyalled upon Mr, Bris- tow to remain becanse & new order of things in the Treasury Department was about to take place, with the substitution of silver for frac- tion currency, and he thought it would need the eupervislon of Mr. Bristow. 8o far as anything had been elicited fu the Congressional ~exwmination bearing upon him or the sttaches of the White Ifonse, the Presldent was willing to leave the whole matter to the judgment of the country, BANCOCK AND PONTER. TFrom ihe testhmony given b.} ex-Sollcitor Wilson hefore the Canprressional Tuvestigating Committee, in relation to that part of Bluford’s testinony which charged Gens. Babcock and Porter with being concerned in the Black Friday speculations, the Presklent sald he once put a lot of papers, rolled up for the mowent, In'a pri- vate drawer of hils desk, and subsequently took them uul.hhnmflnz then to Lis son, wlio was acting as his Private Beeretary, for examination. The pamrs he found, when teported upon by U, 8, Grunt, Jr., (id not show any conucction whatever of Gen, Babeock with the Black Fri- day afTalr at the time stated, beeause they coutd not, as he was then i San Domingo; and be- fore Gen.

At tirst, wbon hints were made to hin, he was led to belleve they meant Casey and others. Ile wus told hy¥thoss who were attack- ing Gens. Babcock enod Porter that the facts would ba griven by Gen, Georgo H.

In everything he did he had alwnys adopted the rule tirough lifo to ex- anmine fnto what was submitted to lilm carefully, and without anything but the principle of dolr}g right, as far as fie could judge, to guide him, Ho had nlways written, spoken, and” acted in that direction, and in o manner in which he thought camg up to that standard, MR.
