C., March 1.—The condition of business in Congress to-night, when only sixty hours remain of the present session and of the present Congress, is about as follows: It is more difticult to say now whether there witl be un extra session than heretofore, and opinions are about equally @ivided as to whether the nec- essary bills will get throueh or not. The Forti- fication Appropriation bidl has been in Confer- ence Committee since January, and no agree- ment has been reached. As the t{ill relates to little clse than a few heavy guns which are of mo. use, and uever Wil be of any, its failuore will .mot be a'matter of great importance. The guns can rust & year without cmbarrassing the safety of the country. THE RIVER AND IARGOR BILL is still in the Senate Committee, which has udded so much to it that the failure of the bill is generally conceded. The only effect of its failure would be tosave the public money and postoone some useful improvements. eficiency bill is in the Conference Com-~ Its failure, althoueh it would be em- barrassing, would not- mecessitate an extra session. Ifi covers debts due by the Government for many years past, and another year caonot be fatal. While the failure of the bill might seriously ‘mconvenience individuals and bring confusion to certain Departments, the Gov- ernment would get on very well without it. The Post-Office bill is also still in conference. The rejection by such a large vote of the Sen- ate’s amendment regarding the Brazil mail con- tract L s i LEAVES LITTLE CONTROVERSY between the two Houses. It is soid astrong effort will be made to induce the Senate con- ferces to hold out until 2 modified amendment relating to the Brazil mail can be adopted. ‘The House itself having adopted a large part of the Senate’s plan to reclassify mail matter bas taken that difficulty from the Conference Committee, and has left but little for the Committees to fight over. The Army bill is another one in conference. The decided vote in the Senate upon the rejec- tion of the House plan of reorganizing the army REMOVES THE CHIEF OBSTACLE TO AGREE- MENT upon this bill. " There is out little left to divide the two Houses, and the bill will undoubtedly pass on the Conference report. The Sundry Civil Appropriation bill is now betore the Scnate. The failure of this bill would. ‘unquestionably require an extra session. It does mot relate to individuals, but to things. The wheels of Government would stop should this bill 1ail. It is, as usual, loaded down with Senate amend- ments, but the larger part of them have been already stricken out in the Scoate, and the others are by 0o meansnecessary, and ought not to occasion auy fight between the two Houses. THE LEGISLATIVE BILT, is in the Senate.. It provides for the payment of all legislative, exceutive, and judicial salaries in the Government. The number of officers and employes is about 90,000. The salaries are already orovided for uatil tbe S0th of Juue next. Should this bill fail, sn extra session would be required, but not for several months. In tbis bill there are fewer changes reported to the Senate than ever. It is substaotially the same bill that passed Jast session. BIG FIGHT will be on that po’rTl:on relating to Supervisors and Deputy-Marshals. It is certain that unless some compromise is effected on this subject the whole bill will fail. If it should fail, it will be fnade the occasion for disagrcement on one or two other of the Appropriation bills. Only oneother important bill remains, and that is for the purpose of providing for the payment of arrears of pensions. Tts failure would by no meaos cause Congress to be recalled, for the pensioners bave been so long without their money that the present payment will be looked upon more as A bonus than a settlement. This is the condition of business to-nizht. It may be changed aoy hour, and so itis impos- sible to say whether there will be an extra session or not. mittee, q LATER. The Enrolling-Clerks say that it will be easy for Congress, if so disposed, to pass all of the ‘Appropristion bills in time to huve them en- grossed for the approval of the President before next Tuesday Roon. The obstacles to this will ‘e, first, s determination on the partof ‘the Democrats to force a called session, by demand- ing political concessions which the Republicans cannot in honor grant; and, second, the desire mapifested by some Senators to talk on every asmendment, which delays action. While the indications are that the busness left uofinished on Thursddy will necessitate calling a ;session of Congress before December mext, it s, nevertheless, vpossible to haveall necessary legislation finished before that time. But an extra session secms inevitable. The Republican members of the House Appropriation Committee say that an extra session -is unavofdable. The Democratic plan now appears to be to compel the faBare of the following four appru?rhuon bills, so that it will be necessary to call an extra session this spring: The Army bill, the Sandry Civil bill, the Legslative and the Deficiency billa. 1t is stated to-night by persons occupying high official stations that if an exira session | PRICE F1VE CENTS. shall be necessary by the failure of more than oue bill, the President will immedintely fssue a proclamation and summon Congress to convene Atarel 15. A CONFERENCE has been held this cvening between Charles Foster,representing the RLDubh«:Lm.u.nd Abram tt the Democrats, to consider Whetlier it will be possible to come to any ree- ommeudation by which an extra -scssion can te avoided. It is conteded on all bands that, if the political differences between the two bodies can be waived,. all the husiness can yet be finished. The .proposition which has been submitted as tentative only between these two gentlemen is that the Dem- ocrats recede from their attempts to repeal the Supervisor law, that the Republicans allow the repeal of the test-oath, and consent to_the amendment reor;:nnlz.\n" the army. - These propositions are being circulated privately on both sides of the .House this morning, thh what result probably canuot be ascertained be- fore later in the day—Sunday. 1:40 A. 3. The President told a Scnator to-might that if there is no necessity for an estra session of Con- gress, tuere will 2t least be an execntive seasion of the Senate called.” THE TIRED SENATE. SLEEPLESS HCURS. cipecial Dispazch to The Tridune. ‘WasgmGTON, D. C., March 1.—Soon after 3 o'clock this morning the Scnators were forced by fatigue to take a recess umtil 10 o’clock. At that hour seveateen Senators appeared in their scats, and they were followed by others until at balf-past 10 a quorum was present. Some of them were blear-eyed and hasgard, while others were as fresh und as rosy as the March morning without. The consideration of the Sundry Civil Aporo- priation bill having been resumed, 2 lively de- bate sprang up on the item. appropriating $10,- 000 for Mrs. Fassett’s picture of the *Electoral Commission.” Mr. Hoar opposed the purchase now, but sald that in the future the party of progress would purchase it. Subsequently, when Mr. Howe said thathe believed in sceing all great events commemorated on canvas, Mr. Boar asked him whether he wounld vote for painting a sitting of the Fishery Commission at Halifax. Mr. Howe replied that ho hadn’t thought any one wanted 8 picture of that Commission, but that if they did he was in favor of having it painted. Mr. Hoar repeated his objection to the purchase of the picture as commemorative of an event of too recent occurrence to be thus honored. Theitem for the purchase of the picture was defeated by a voté of 20 yeas—all Republicans— and 80 nays, including 21l of the Democrats, with Messrs. Hoar, - Kirkwood, Flum, and Wad- leigh, Repuolicans. The effeet of the recent night sessions and continnous hard work upon the older Senators is already beginning to tell noticeably upon them, and to-day thesofas and loungesin the cloak-rooms were in ereat demand. The own- ers of strong Senatorial constitutions were themselves OBLIGED TO SUCCUMB to the inexorable demands of nature, and many gentlemen were caught napping during the pro- ceedings. This drowsy and wearied condition of the better class of Senators, who are, as a rule, th® oldest, is highly favorable to the com- summation of the sinister designs upon the Tscasury of a very hungry and rascally lobby. There is accordingly great danger that towards the small hours of the session some of the uglicst jobs may be sneaked through. The Seoate, however, must be, congratulated upon having accomplished many creditable things to- day. , The audacious proposition in the Sundry- Civil bill to abolisk the office of Public Printer, and to turn over the Government printimg-office with all its parapbernzlia and accoutrements to Gibson Bros., a small firm of Washington print- ers, for a yearly rental of $5,000, was TOROWN OUT OF THE BILL upon & poict of order. Not a voice was heard in its behalf. Even those who had promised its aathors that they wonld support it were afraid to kecp their pledges. It appeared to die of its dwn weight. Another measure, almost as bad as the fore- going, was the proposed purchase of Boss Shepherd’s building, corner of Twelfth and Pennsylvania avenue, for 3325,000, to be nsed as the City Post-Office. This brilding was sold about a year ago to the mortgagees for $125,000, and the scheme Was to have the Government buy it for $325,000, pay the morteagee his $125,000, and transfer the remaining $200,000 wo Boss Shepherd and his creditors. The Boss has been in constant attendance at the Capitol for severat days past, and bas spared no effort to accomplish his, purpose. When the section in question was reached, however, Scnator Kernan said that this was A VERY INOPPORITNE TIME for considering a subjectso important, and with- out further debate it waslaid upon the table, which is equivalent to its defeat for this Con- gress. It will no doubt make its appearance next session. ‘The Senate fafled toescape committing several palpable errors to-day. In order to ublize Senator Conkling, who made personal appeals in her behalf, it agrced to the amendment re- mitting all the taxesg .that have been levied upon the estate of Mrs. Kate Chase Sprague, at’ Enelewood; near this city. 3ir. Conkling did not argue the merits of this amendment ‘himself, although he a EVINCED THE GREATEST INTEREST in the discussion. Senator Harris, of Tennessce, who ;had charge of the measure, as much as conceded that it was unprecedented and in- defensible, but rested his case upon the ground that the beneficlary was the daughter of the late Chief Justice Chase, who died poor, afid that if the taxes now due on tli¢ Englewood estate were enforced it would be equivalent to the confiscation of the prop- erty. ‘He appesled to the generosity of Sena- tdrsto vote for the amendment, 2nd do this much for the child of an illustrious citizen. Senator Thurman said he knew the late Chief- Chbase inzimstely, and was well acquaivted with his family. any man to assist the family of bis fricnd, but he could not vote for the present proposition. It was based upon . A WRONG PRINCIPLE. He called attention to the fuct that the daughters of the late Cnief Justice Taney had never applied for relief from the Government, but were cking out a bare existence as clerks in oneof the Departments. They were equally as entitled torelicf as the danghter of Chief Justice Chase. Senator Saulsbury was the most persistent opponeot of the measure, and it was throngh bis persistency that the yeas ard pays were ordered. N It was smusinz to sce the Jarge number of Senators who retired to the cloak-rooms during the roll-call and dodee the vote. They did not want to vote for the bill because they disapproved of the principle -involved, and they would not vote against it out of deference to the urzent requests of Mrs. Sprague’s friends on the floor. Tie amendment was therefore passed,—jyeas, 32; nays, 2L Respecting the Elcrkst.n claim of $32,000, the aporopriation for which was smusgled into last year’s Sundry Civil bill, and which the House '+ BAS REPEALED TWICE,— this session once by, separate bill, which the Sen- ate Appropriation Committec has been influ- enced to strangle now and agaio by smendment to the present Sundry Civil bill,—it was de- cided to refer the case to the Court of Claims, and an smendment to that effect was adopted. It is not believed that the House will agree to any sucn proposition, and Mr. Ba- ker; ot Indiana,who will be one of the con- ferees, states that he will rather let the bill fail thm that this claim shonld remain in it in any 'D:e Democratic Senators attempted tode- Be would cheerfully go as faras. " the front "dictatorship it prive Mr. Corbin, the contestanb for the South Carolina Senatorship, of the allowaoce of $10,~ 000 proposed by the Appropriation Committee, but were not successful. Taken in its entity, the bill as passed by the Senate is rather an improvement upon its pre- decussors, and is not. lf kely to give the Confer- ence Commitiec much trouble. 2:15 a. 2 At this hour the Senate, in the progressof the Le: nuvc bill, reached some of the political sections. The Democratic Senazurs magifested no disposition to debate, dna permitted a vote to be immediately taken. This is the most booeful indication yet that it is still possible to 2Y0i0 an extra session. IN THE HOUSE. A BAD DAY FOR SUBSIDIES. . Spectat Disoatch 10 tus Tridure Wasmxarox, D. C., March 1.—It was a bad aayis the House for subsidies. Defeats fol- lowed in quick succession, and the day ended with only negative work accomplished. A bill extending the time for twe years, from Oct. 1, 187, to pre-emptors on the Fort Ridgely Res- ervation, Minnesota, passed. The Conference Committee appointed upon the Deficiency Appropriation bilt was one not likely to surrcnder any pet scheme of the House. It consists of Blount, of Georgia; Sparks, of Tllinois, and Baker, of Indiana. Tke Conference Committee on the Post-Office Avopropriation bill, which includes the Beazilian subsidy, is absolutely hostile to the subsidy scheme, and would let adozen extra sessions come before they would yield the principle of a subsidy. The conferees are Blount, of Georgia; Clymer, of Pennsylvania; and Baker, of lndi- ana. The Rodch men are not as confident to- nizat that anything can be accomplished throngh the Conference Committee; indeed, they are despairing. It is even intimated that telegrams. are liable tocome any moment from Brazil anoouncing that the Emperor has ordered the withdrdwal of the subvention from that Gov- ernment, as the subsidy from the Brazilian Government was made entirely dependent upon the ability of the owners of the lines to secure a similar subsidy from the United States. Some of the Roach men say thatit will be necessary .to withdraw the steamers, as they caunot ba run withont Government aid. TIZ FIRST GREAT DEFEAT OF THE DAY was that of the Sugar bill. Mr. Burchard mads his long and elgborate specch. Fernando Wood and Kobbius, representing opposing theories on the Wavs and Means Committee on the sugar’ question, became so angry that they declined to shake hands as tellers, something quite unpre- cedented, and then the opponents of the Spgar bill, in the interests of the refiners, moved to lay it on the table. Thetemper of the House was such that this would have been done, when, to rescue the bill from the ignominy and the presage of defeat, the House consented that it might be withdrawn. Nothing more can be done at this Congress. TILE ROBESON TMPEACHMENT. ‘Wietthorne, of Tennessee, the would-be im- peacher of ex-Secretary Robeson, next tried to have an hour set for the consideratfon of that momentous question. This the House mms"d, and Robeson goes free. THE PATEST BILL FALLS. Next came the bill to revise the Patent laws, in which Mr. J. £. Raymond, of Chicago, and a good many Eastern patent lawyers, bave taken such great interest for two years. A two-thirds vote was necessary to pass it, yet the House refused to order the yeas and nays, so little con- sideration was given to it, and the measure fell. TIE NORTHERN PACIFIC. Next came the Northern Pacific, which had some resolute friends, - and, us the resnlt showed, .o decided majority, the Yoteunits passage being yeas, 134; nays, 105. Bat this was not enough, as uwmthlrd., Was necessary, and the proposition to extcnd the time for the constraction of the road fell for this Congress. YELLOW FEVER. Finally came the yellow-fever bill. Northern ‘people can scarcely imagine that a community, an Empire slmost, that had been ravaged with the scourge .of yellow fever, would not welcoma any aid, whetlier called the federal Govern- ‘ment or what not, that might promise’ to belp to rescue that section from the epidemic. Buc State Rights on the one hand, and personal jealousies on the other, helped to defeat the bill that had been passed by the Senate, which, of course, was the only one that had any pros- pect to become o law at this session, and the Southern Democrats, preferring to hug their delusion of State Rights rather than to permit the Federal power io show the symbol of its authority in the form of a hospital-flaz, Qefeated all measures the effect of whith would have been to place the General Goveroment in any position except that of the most bumiliat- Ing subordinacion with respect to the Southern States. A motion to recousider, however, was ettered, and it i possible that the recess may have shown the Sontherzers the madaess of their folly. But they seem wedded to their delasion, and prefer to welcome epidemics to recognizing thFederal power, even i it comes in the form of a protector of life and health. There was but ome sensible man from the whole South who had the manliness to speak upon this question. That was Casey Young, of Teunessee, who, with the yellow- fever traces still in his face, told his colleagues that he haa spent four yearsof &fs life in a fruitless effort to make the States superior to the Federal Government; that it had a million of lives and countless treasure; =nd that now the widowed and orphaned South demanded that the aelusion be aban- doned. But Casey Young’s eloquent plea was of mno avall. Representa- tive Chittenden, of New York, deserves to be classed with the deluded South, for, while he did not base bis plea on the State Sovereignty doctrine, he made such pompous threals as to the sovercignty of New York ard the inviola- bility of the quarantine of the Empire State, a5 to excite the derision of the House. It was, perhaps, significant that Geo. Butler should have risen to tell the South that the very means of destroyinz yellow feser was by the iron arm of the Federal power. JOLRISON’S NEW RULE. Morrison, of Illinots, introduced a resolution which was referred to the Committee on Ruics, the effect of which would be to revolutionize the method of conducting public business, and to deprive the Appropriation Committee of the now has over the whole House by reason of this rule, which gives that Comunittec the power to frame ail the Appro- priation bills. The resolution proposes tochange the rales 80 that hereafter the Military Commit- tee shall report the Army and Fortification bills, the Commerce Committee the River anit Harbor bill, the Forelen Affairs Commitice the Con- sular and Diplomatic bill, the Naval Commit- tee the Navy bill, the Indian Committec the Indfan bill, and in this manner to distribute all the bills among the Committees which bave jo- risdiction of the respective subjects. This pro- poses to leave with the Appropriation Commit- tee prooer only three bills, und will give every member of the House a better opportuuity to participate in general business. ADNIGUT. The House was the scene ot great confusion until npearly midnight. Immediately after the recess the consideration of the Yellow-Fever oill was resumed. Finally, after the confusion and disorder incident toall legislation attempted in the fatizuing nicht session, the whole subjeet was tabled bya vote of 13¢ yeas t6 15 nuys. Further dilatory motions followed, and the sub- ject was finally defeated by the large vote of 118 yeas to 60 pays. The Southerners have: thus sacrificed to the doctrine of State's Righta the only measurc which could insure an absoluts und efficient quarantine. ‘Bill Springer, not to be put down, came to zatn towards midnight with the caso of Semni. iflnkm 10 Chins, and s timg he +
