C., June 15.—At the even- ogother with a rare collectlon of curious Wid Deasts, | 108 sesslon the tiwo Houses came to a compro- forming u misu on the question of final adjournment by fixing Tuesdsy at 4 o'clock. A Confercuce Committee upon the Brazillan subsidy was finally appointed on the part of the House, con- sisting of Cannon, who defeated the subsidy, Morrison, and Waddell. The House part of the Committec is hostile to the subsidy, aud the result undoubtedly will be the defeat of the cutire bill, 8s a number of the Scunte Com- mittee say they consider the Senate has been discourteously treated by having the bill re- turned toit, and that they will not conclude to pass the Post-Route bill without sume of its im- Dortant smendments passed by the Senate. These include the amcndment relative to the clussification of mail matter, fixing uniform rates for newspaper postage, the —franking privilege, and the Braziliun subsidy. The House directed jts Conference Committeatorecede from the position assumed on the Legislative bill, and decided in effect that the Senate has the right to control the nuwber and pay of its em- Ployes. This makes the passae of the Legisla- tive bill certaiu by the House laving receded on one point of difference. It seems thercfore entirely practicable to adjourn Tuesday at the appotnted hour. - oy STANLEY MATTHEWS. " Gen.

C., June 15.—The Demo- cratic Seuutors were among the most earnest in denouncing the Demoeratic House for not paving furnished ‘the Senate with the Appro- priation bilfs at nu earlier day. The Senate passed the bill appropriating $20,000 for the ex- penses of the [ouse Presidential fnvestization, and §20,000 for the Senate investization, with a somewhat ominous amendment. The wmend- ment plices $10,000 at the disposal of the Attorney-General to prosecute auy person for erime discovered fn conneetion with the inguiry. Some Democratic witnesses, Dossibly, may trem- Die at that last amendment. QUESTIONS OF ETIQUETTE between the two Houses appear to be most dif- fienlt to seitle. It was expected the River and ilarbor bill and the Army bill would pive risc to the greatest. opposition in the House, but they were settled to-day with but little opposi- tion, while a third conference is to be ordered on the Legislative bill, on account of the refusal of the House to recognize the right of the Sen- ate to regulate the salarics of its own employes.

The House attempted to force the Senate to adjourn on Monday, and accordingly declined to coneur in the proposition of the Senate to ex- :’eml the term of tinal adjournment until Thurs- ay. DEMOCRATIC OBSTRUCTIONS. The House munagers promised tiat the Sun- dry Clvil bill should have goue to tie Senate last week, but {t did not reach them until yesterday, and was accompanied with » bushel basket full of letters from the Departmeuts, which the House Committee lhuve” even decliued to open. As the result of these letters, the Scuate Committee finds it necessary to attach ninety-five additional amendments to the billto carry on the necessary work of the Government. ~ That fact is au 1llustration of the methods of Dewmoeratie economy in the House. They present measures as completed nd representing the best knowledge of the Executive Departinents upon the subject, when 2a bushel basket full of lctters controverting the very position assumed by the Democratic managers remains unopened under the table. These letters were sent to the Sevate, aud, when opencd and acted upon, the Dcmocrats taise the cry that additions to the bill are due to Liepublican extravagance. They are, for the Inost part, amendments which would never heve been made necessary If the House bad vot been éawer to obtatna fictitfous repucation for econowy. TIE AKMY RILL as agreed upon has passea both Houses. The House surrendered ts points s to the number of menand as to the imwmediate reorgumiza- tion of the army and the transfer of the Indtan Burean, these several subjects bemy referred to Commissions. ‘The provison as to a posse com- itatus or use of the srmy in time of peace, however, was preserved with sowe {mportuut modifications. The penulty clause was stricken out tor the wood reason, if uo other, that the geveral [aw ulreany provides penaitics for ofti- cers who do not obey their superiors. In the Tlouse, it was contended by the Southern men that the provision as retained would permit the euwployment of troops iu time of peace. There were, however, but fifty-five votes agaiust the bill in tho House. KNOTT'S OBITUARY. Proctor Knott, notwithstaudini thero was few hours left of the sess onsumned more thun an hour in rending a report in support of the Kimmell bill. HIs report was charactenzed as Knotw's obituary. fle had it encased in a leatber portfolig, and proceeded to the Clerk’s des and read it like a country rector. F CARTER MARRISON moved ue au amendment tothe Tobbacco biil his bill to retmpose the income tax. This met with & stubborn resistance. The Southern men even who favor this tax were very angry 6t Tarrison for proposing it, for the “rea- son that if the amendment should be adooted it would kil the Tobacco bill. After much excited wrangling and & roll-call Harel son's proposition was defeated—yeas, 943 nass, 129. The vote for incom 4s an independ- ent proposition would be much strouzer. (’\'ncn the tobscco section fn the Revenue bill was reached, the tobacco men moved tostl ke out o)l the remainder of the L ‘Yhis iucludes the jusolvent savings bauks section, about which there has been so much in- terest in Chicago. Finally, after a great deal of confusion, the House at midnight adiourned. The indications are that the lnsolvent savings banks section wilt be defeated. The tobacco men are - partly certaln to carry their bill through the House. Many Senators, after working all nizht on the Sundry Civil bill, are of opinion that it will not be practicable to adjourn Taesday night. - HAYES” TITLE. BURCHARD’S RESOLUTION. Special Dispateh to The Tribune. ‘WASTINGTON, D. C., June 15.—There is a ereat deal of feeling among tlic Republicans against Burchard for having moved his resolution rela- tive to the Presidential title yesterday without congulting with his political associates. The Republicans, s whole, maintain that the Democrats should have been permitted to ex- tract themselves from their dilemma by the best means theycould, and there are many reusons to believe that if the Burchard resolution had not been moved the report from the Judiciary Com- mittee either would not have been made st all, or, having been made, might mnot have received enmough - Democratic votes to have passed. The policy of the Repub- lican leaders, from the beginning, —Has Lieen to ubstain on this question, upon the theory , ingsmuch a3 the Democrats had entered upon 4 revolutionary course, it was fucumbent upou them to explain their atiitude tothe coun- try fu thefr way. This Burehard’s resolution prevented. However, the Democratic vote against the resolution meaus little, a3, to a very cousiderable number of those who voted, the vote is simply n recorded lie. It means to thew pothing more than a resofution azainst subsi- dics generally introduced at the beginning of cvery session, and passed and generally violuted Iater in the session by a majority of those who voied for it. ‘the Democratic vote against the resolution now can have no possible cifect upon the upproval or disapproval of any revolution- ary report that the Potter Committee may next winter be disposed to make. KNOTT'S LITTLE SPEECH. o the Western Associuted Press. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 15.—In the House this morning Mr. Knott, Chairnan of the Ju- diciary Comnittee, presented his views i 0ppo- sition tv thereport of the Committee on the Kimmel bill and the resolutions of the Mary- iand Le: ture on the subject of the Presi- Jeutfal etection. e said hewoula be content Dimself to have the paper orinted in the Atecord, but some gentlemen desired to bave it read, and if there was no objection, he would read it. He then stepped to the Clerk’s desk aud was about to read his report (quite voluminous) when Mr. Tucker objected to that cousumption of tlme until after the Tobaceo bill should ve disposed of. Ar. Springer moved to suspend_the rules, in order to extend that privilege to Mr. Kuott, and the motion was agreed to. Mr. Kuott thereupon read the paper, the tenor of which has been already fudicated. Mr. Knott holds that the great underiying question to e detertnined was not one which the Com- mittee seemed to cousider parsmount to all others. It was not merely whether the preseut incumbents of the Presidental and Vice-Presi- dential oftices should be disturbed, but it had a \Wider rangze, and reached an jutinitely profound- eraepth. It was true it mignt incidentaily al- fect the titie of a couple of cltizens to honors and emoluments of certain high nod important offiees now claimed by them, but it also jo- volyed the dignity and sovereignty of thirty- cieht independent and co-equal States, as well as the rights aud libertics of 40,000,000 of peo- ple. ¥ ‘The conclusion of the report is in these words: ‘*Let the representatives of the peo- ple teach the people by solemn resolution that Possession is better than right, snd usurpation stronger than law; that Returninz Boards ure supreme, and that the law is voiceless, then in- deed will the people realize that the law hus ubdicated, and that force has been enthroned, and thea will the country indeed become Mexi- canized, force will be resorted to to redress \wrong s well as to sustaln it, and resource will be had to the sterner arbitrament of the bullet, And after usurpation stall bave succecded ‘usurpation, anarchy will come like night, and seal tho fate of this great Republic forever.”” THE INQUISITION. A FRUITLESS SCSSION. Special Dispatch 1o The Trivune, WasmiNGToN, D. C., Juue 15.—The session of the Potter Commission was a fruitléss one, the pendency of important measures in the THouse preventing & continuous examinatton. Clarke, a former private secretary of Gov. Kel- Jogs, svas examined, and proved to be a remark- ably good witaess. Xie described in detall the meuner in which the sccond set of certifieates of the Electoral Collere was received, and, from his testimony, it was very clear that there was no intention on the part of any person to com- mita forzery. Clarke himself had chafge of the new sct of certiticates, which were spread out upon z taole in a room, and word sent to the different Electors to come and sign. Curiously enough, the Democratic metabers did not ask Clarke as to the mauner in which Ley- issee’s signature wasobtained. The Democrats appear to be still unwilling to call Mrs. Jenks. Rumors increase that her testimony will be strongly against Anderson; tbat she will show that he was engaged in a couspiracy. and prove this, not only by her own oath, but by corrubo- rative testimony. It is very evident that the Dentocrats are extremely afrsid of Mrs. Jenk: and It is not at ol impossible that their case nay be ruined by ber testimony. - . C. CLAKKE. To the Western Assoctated Press. Wasmngros, D. C., June 15.—The Potter Committee resumed its session to-day- H. Conquest Clarke, formerly private secre- tary to Gov. Kellogs, aud now In the luternal Revenue Department, was examined regarding the Loisiana certitientes. 3 Te recognized the first and second set of cer- tificates in the possession of the Committe the ones. Anderson baving stated there wa an error in the certificates, Gov. Kellogg re- quosted the witness to examine them. The witness was present when Gov. Kellogy sigued the sccond set of certificates, and had himself sealed them up and forwarded them to Wash- ingrton. He also sealed the first set and handed them to the District Judwe. Al the sizuatures tothe firstset were siued in the presence of the wituess. The wituess did ot prepare the credentials of the messengers authoritatively charired with tho delivery of the second set of certiticates, Me was of the opiniou that the authority which the bearer of the seeond sct of certificates presented was the authority prepared for the wessenger of the first set, Gen. Anderson. Recess. The documents sent to the House of Repre- sentatives by the President, at the instance of the Potter Committee, embraca all the commu- nications to and from the Louisiana Commis- sioners in churge of the Department of State. All have been heretofore published. When the Commiltec reassembled, Mr. Clarke testified :that he was under the impres- sion he 2lso saw Brewster sign the second set of certificates, and that the gentlemae signed in the committee-room, and notin the Govern- or’s office, as Brewster testitied vesterday.
