THE EFFORT AT REDUCTION DEPRATED, Special Dispaich to The Tribune, Wasmixoron, D, C., Feb. 4.—The House was occupied in the conshleration of the Army blll, upon which little progress was made. There was a very animated debate of two hours on the pruposition to reduce the armv to 15,000 men, o8 the result of which the Democrats, who vrate of imperisliam, were badly punished. Represcntative Townsheud, of Tllinols, preached an earncst sermon on the danger of standing nrmies to the Republic, and drew apicture of the advent of imperfalism aa a result of themn. ‘Townsend, of New York, fn his usual humor- ous vien, thought there could be no danger to the Republic so loog asTownshend with an **h** llves to play the part of Brutus, The Republicaus In a solid body, sided by the Democrats who represcnt the frontler Bintes, and some others, carricd the day, uud have put a0 end for this session to any further effort to reduco the army. The scntence of Gen, Grant's letter, however, that *“The army bas no peace except in war,” was well {llustrated by the day’s proceedings. . THERE WAS ONE AMENDMENT Incorporated in the Army Uil in the House this afternvon which, If not stricken out in the Sen- afe, will make 8 most important now departure in tho telegraph business of the country, The ‘amondment is In these words: * And telo- grams ere authorized to be transmitted by mil- road companies which may bave telegzraph lines for the ?uvummnm and for the geoeral public at rates to be fixed by the Goveroment, accord- Ing to the provisions of Title 65 of the Revised Statutes.” This provision In the briefcst possl- ble form is in substauce the Telegraph bill of Benator Jones, of Florida, now pending in the Scnate. Title 65 of the Revised Btatutes relating to the telegrapha contalus among other things the law of July, 1860, which really ives all telegraph companics power to put a live of telegraph over any portien of the pubiic domaln and ALONG ALL FOST AND MILITARY ROADS, At the time of the passage of this aet it was not belloved that the Jaw could interfere with any existing wonopolles, sud was not materially opposed, but now that the United States Su- preme Court, in a case coming up fram Florida in 8 contest between s monopolled telegraph company und a uew luc, Las decided that the law is constitutional, und that suy rallroad company or telagraph company has the right (o traussct public business, the law has recoived new lmoortasee. 1t was to give effect to this decision of the United States Court construfug that statute that the Jones bilt was [utroduced, Telegraph companies until recentiy ‘have pald little atteution to it, but withlo two weeks rooresentatives of rlironda on the one side have sppeared here urging the passage of the Joucs bill, while representatives of the telegraph companiea on the other have APFBARED TO OFFOSH 37, ! Tha plan to defcat the blll in the Benate bas been to move It Tecommittal to the Committee which reported it on the pround thut it was not thoroughly unlerstood when reported, und that it fuvolves too great an’ interest to bo voted on without further investigation, That motlon s now pending, Benator Jones will oppose ILon the ground that fuis AN EPFORT TO KILL TUR DILL, but the actlon of the Houso to-day nakes it certaln that the subject will be brought directly befors the Benate even §t the Jones DIl should e recommitied to the Committce. The smend- ment was udopted in the House withoul any material opposition, althourh any considerable resistance nust have defcatod it, us it was wew lcgislation, The temporary opposition was withdrawn when it was stated that the ouly purpose of the amendmeut was to make telezraphing cheaper, and 1o 1nake Hoes which run aloog side by side on the same rallroad competing lines. Theamend- ment was adopted In Committes of the Whole, and has yet to be voted on fu the Houss when the blil s reported back, but the indications are that it {s very sure to pass the Houve. The contest over, Jt will then come up fo the Bepate, and,\ rejected there,subscquently in eanference committecs, This amendment, with tho exist- ing Yaw of 1860 as construcd by the Supremu Court, really gives to the rallroads owning telegraph lines practically all the advantages which they could derive from the passage of the Jones bill. * It is evident that the telegraph companics will realize the situstion quick evough to mako an earncst contest In the Scnate. No more debatu fs vrobable (n the House. THR DEBATE. Toths Watirn dnsvctated Press. Wasmwaron, D. C., Feb. 4.—TFhe House weut juto Committee of the Whols un the Army Apuropriation bill. Mr. Durhaihi submitted an smendment re- duciog the army to 20,000¢ olisted men. Mr, Whittborno moved to reduce the number 115,000, und nrfined iu favor of a better organ- izstion of the militla. Alter consideruble debatoa volo was taken oo Mr. Whittborue's smendment, uud it was do- feated.

Mr. Atkins satd the House had on three dit- ferent oceasfons voled for 20,000 as the regular feree of the standing army. That had been thé expression of the Hoase, il the Commitiee on Apprapriatione. knowing that tn order to got this il throngh ut ail the number would have to be fixed at 25,000, bnd fixed that number in the bill. Mr. Milln safd that there scemed to be a fear that the standing army would destroy the liber- ties af the people, One of the fatners of 1he Houto (Cox) remninded the Ilouse that a stand. Inz ormy hatl overturned the hiberties of the people o1 one oceaston, That was when there hal been about 1,800 men In the District of Columbla in 1877, Fighteen woull have effect- ed the rame purpose, He (Cox) hod ratd that it had been occasloned by the threat of Gen. tirant, If that was so, e (Mila) thought that Gen. Grapt could have done 1t without any troops, If that gentieman wanted to get relief be tad better - ADOLISIL OER. GIAXNT. The army was an cssential feature fn all gov- crumenté.

Wasnixotox, . C., Feb, 4.—In the Benate this morning Mr. Coke spoke at lencth in favor of constructing s rallrond in Texas to the Rio Grade, after which considerution was resumed of the resolutions of Mr. Edmunds, declaring thie valldity of the Thirtecuth, Fourteeuth, and Fiftcentt Amendments, und Mr. Bayard de- clured that the Orst one to throw doubt upon the amendiments was the Senator from Vermont. (Fdmunds), The resolutions were not a part of the legielntive busivess of the 8enate. They were accompanied by an odur of the caucus und not that from thecommitice-room. They savor- ed more of party tacties than truc statcsman- ship, and dil potbiug to relieve the wanth of the people of the coun- try. 1L it were per for thls Senato to declare the validity of these amend- meuts, then angther party in power could bring in a resolution declariug thelr tuvalldity, To such doctrine he conld never couscot. Armies orrauged to overthrow the Government by force were not half so dangerous za this subtle at- tempt to place o false coustruction upon the Constitution. It was the desizn tobring within the contral of Congress the civil righus of the citizen which had always been {otrusted to the States. It was a most dapgerous centralization of puwer to give to Whe Federal Government that unlimited lml{ ovar the rights of citizens which bad heen left whotly to the State Governtients. It was apainat every step in that dircelion that bemow protested. He referred to-the cuses to be tried fu the Supreme Court of the Unlted Btates testing the validity of the Civll-Rizhts law, und sald tlhese cases could not be tricd too soon. If the power claimed fu thut bill did exist, then the political party, whichever it be, that got esslon of the Goverament, had au almost {im almost crushing power to sustaln itsell ‘The whole vbject of this resolution wos to pro- cure from tue Scnate an approval of un- canstitutional lewislution heretofore enact- cd, ogainst which ho struggled in .vain ot the time of its cunctment, I would be of no party, he would aid in no legis- lation, that dul not recogmize the right of every man fn all parts of the country, There wos an unwritten daw which would crush every man with indienution who soaght to sccure the duin- ination of party over the peace, the security, and wie rignts ot the eotlre Ameriesn people.

At the sessfon of tho Committeo to-day, Mr, E. W. M.

THE AOUTH CAROLINA RLECTION, To the Western annctated Press. WasHinatox, D. C., Feb. 4.—The Teller Com- mittee examined Col. Mackey, of South Caro- lina. He said that the Republicans were, fn nuinerous ways, prevented from having a full and free vote In Charleston County,und that the Democrats resorted to frauds for that purpose, Witness sald before the clection a Comiulttes of Republicans waited on Gov. Hawmpton, who assured them he would act falrly tn the sppoint- mient of Commissioners, aud give one Repub- lican to two Democrats in each county. [nthe thirty-two counties of the Btate, however, only five or six Republicans were appofuted. Hedid pot Dbelieve the Republicans bad a slogle mapager of election fn 400 precincts. Some of the colored men, who put on red shirts, ssid they did so because they were pald 82 s day for service. Witness, in order to counteract the Demiocrats, hind 5,000 tissue- tickets printed, and thess were to be used only in the event that the Rapublicans were certatn the Democrats were using tissue-tickets. Some few Republican tickets had been given out the uiglt before the clection, and six of them oply were voted fu Charleston. Fully 4,600 such tickets were In s packsge banded by wit- ness to Benator Teller. In coming to the conclusion with Bowen to have printed tissue- tickets, they did so with a view of counteract- fog the Democrats, so that,when the Democrats cume to takiug tickets out of the ballot-box, they could not discriminate between the two kinds of tickets, He did uot know how the Demotrata could get anundue nuwber of tissue- tickets into the box, but be belleved they were printed by ths Democeats for fraudulent pur- poses. R. M. WALLACE, United Stater Marshal for South Carolina, tes- tified to arrcating Demucrats for breaking up Republican _mectings, but no conviction resulted. The Démocrats regarded the voun(.v of tissue-ballote ma & huge joke ou the Kepublicans, sayive thut they had learned tricks frown the Republieaus, and were now beat- fug them at their own game. Not oue volored man out of & thousund would. 1t left free to himself, vote the Democratie ticket, slthough a nutnber of them yoted for fear of losing or hope of obtaining emoloyment.

The Commnittea will probably fuume- dlately start for New York, and on uteresting fuvestigation will {mmeliately begin, There s reason to belfeve that the Democrats will be compelled to find out very much more than they now anticipate or cven favor, and that the resuit will be to clearly ahow the corrupt conspiracy by which the Democrats attempted to buy the Presidency after they had been de- feated at the polls.
