Tue Distaicr 1x Coxoress.—In the House of Representatives, yesterday, Mr. Morrill made a report in part on the disagreeing amendments to the general appropriation bill, which was con- curred in.

Mr. Branch moved to reconsider the vote. He seid there were twenty or thirty items in the bill which he utterly disapproved. When he ascer- tained that gentlemen who had so loaded down the bill as to render itodious had themselves voted against tbe report, he changed his own vote to the negative. His object now was to give to those gentiemen who had put the offensive items in the Bull en opportunity to revise their action and to Pass this measure If this important measure should be lost an extra session of Congress would become . Mr ‘Shorea vepliea The bill as reported originally from the Committee of Ways and Means contained millions less than it did now. It was increased by those who refused to vote for the bill. The democratic Senate had added a $2,000,000. The tables which he held in bis han: showed that the Committee of Ways and Means had largely reduced the items furnished by the Departments. The Committee of Conference on the part of the House bad procured a reduction in the Senate’s amendments; but the gentleman from North Carolina refused to vote for the ap- Propriation for the aqueduct because an army officer bad been designated to take charge of the work. - Mr. Burnett said be would vote for the report if the House would strike out that part of it lacing that work under the superintendency of ES Netz He would not sanction a measure violative of a prevision of the Constitution Mr. Sherman said the issne was not as to whether gentlemen would vote for this or that or the other items in the bill, but the question was who put them there. The committee of conference on the part of the House made the best bargain they could with the Democratic Senate. He did not care if the bill were defeated. He hoped it would be. He wished to show where the res- msibility rested. If another bill should be ‘ought forward the result would be increase and not a dimfnotion of appropriations Mr. Branch said there was nothing in the remarks he made which justified the gentleman from Ohio in ‘ing this subject 2 party complexion. He had not assatled the other side of the House, but bad appealed to his own party friends. He had ex pressly said that he Lad changed his vote in order to move a reconsideration, and that be migut ap- peal to them to save the bill. He made no issue as to which party was responsibie. If it could be shown that the Senate jut on extravagant amend- ments, then that body acted in a manner to be condemned. If, however, the vote could be ex- amined, it would doubtless be found that the Democrats who assisted in this were compara- tively few. He repeated that unless the Dill should be passed an extra session would become necessary. In concl mn he appealed to all pa- triotic gentlemen to aid in the passage of this bill—not only for the benefit of the Government but for their own comfort and convenience. If the vote to reconsider the vote should not be de- cided in the atfimative, the bill would stand de- feaied. [Several gentlemen controverted this view of tue question.) He moved the Previous question The House, after the usual preliminary pro- ceedings. reconsidered the vote by which the report of the committee of conference was reject- ed, and then concurred in it So the bill was passed, and at balf-past four the Houseadjourned. _ Vireinta MetHopists AxD THE Late BrrFALo Conresknce —At a meeting of the ofticial mem- bers of the Methodist Epis-opal Church, Alexan- dria Stations held June 19, 1560, Col. Robert S Ashby was called to the chair, and Wm. N. Berk- Jey appointed secretary The object of the meeting having been stated. the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted: Whereas the recent action of the General Con- ference of our Church on the subject of slavery has produced some dissatisfaction in portions of our territory; and es there is much iversity of opinion as to the true intent and significance of said action; and whereas some of the societies of our Church in the adjoining communities have, by their odficial bodies and otherwise, made vari- ous suggestions as to the proper course to he pur- sued ander the circumstances, and as we know of no authority in the Church to call such a conven- tion as some have proposed; and whereas Alexan- dria is among the oldest and largest appoint- ments in our Church in Virginia, it may be ex- ted that some indication of opinion as to the st course to be pursued in the circumstances should emanate from this station: Therefore, Evsolved, That while we regard the new chapter om siavery as only advisory, and as having taken the Pvp of statutory laws, we, nev theless, wholly ignore and disavow its doctrines Resolved, That in a matter so grave, and in- volving responsibilities so great, we deprecate all hasty action as detrimental to our true interests as a Conference—and-feel it our solemn duty to be guided in the present Png ret by the develop- ments of time, and the indications of divine Providence.

Tue Scoot Examrnations.—The annual ex- aininations of the Public Schools by the trustees are still in progress, and continue to stimulate muuch interest. an Primary No.7, Third District, was exam! on the Tsth inst, by Mr. Bobrer and Dr. A. W Miller. Tis school has been in operation but three months; the children who now read well, did not then know the alp! . The examiners were particulasly pleased with the discipline and good order of the school. Short addresses were made by Mr. Bobrer and Dr. Miller, urging the children to attend to early education, as the basis of true knowledge, by their attention to studies now, to save themselves in after life days of severe and unprofitable labor. Miss Hawkins, in the opinion of the examiners, has shown an aptitude for her calling rarely met witb. Primary School, No. 8, Third District, Miss Lucy B. Davis, teacher, was examined on Tues- day Tost, by Mr. McKunew, assisted by the Rev. Mr. Effinger. This school numbers on roll 60 scholars; it at examination, 54. The school is divided into five classes, and were examined in geog: y, arithmetic, ort! phy, reading, aad spelling. It was organized about the Ist of March last, and may Propriety be called almost an infant school, taking {nto consideration the few months in which the children have been taught; their youth (many of them appesring to be not more in six years of age, and ranging from six to ten), the promptness and correctness with which they answered questions, particularly in geography and arithmetic, were most remark- able. ‘The discipline and order of the school at- tracted particular attention, which, with the examination throughout, proved very satis- factory, and gave evidence of the fact that Miss © Davi: is fully competent to task she has undertaken, and perior qualifications as a teacher of ash During the evening the school was visited by Dr. Miller, Alderman Bohrer, and Mr. McCathran. After the conclusion of the exercises the children were addressed by Dr. Miller, Mr. Bohrer, Rev Mr. Effinger, and the examining trustee. Hach speaker endeavored to impress upon the children the im; ice of being attentive to school, obey- the instructions of their accomplished teacher, of making every effort on their part to secure a good education in the days of their youth, &c. This school occupies one of the basement rooms in Odd Fellows’ Hall, (Navy Yard,) badly ven- tilated. and unsuited for the i, rpose.

Swann and Smith for the defense, and closed by the District Attor- ney. The jury returned a verdict of guilty as in- dicted, with a recommendation to mercy, on ac- count of the prisoner's youth Jobn Clark was then placed on trialon acharge of assault and battery upon Frederick Vescblin, and acquitted, the prosecuting witness (the only witness called) being unable to identify the de- fendant as the party who committed the alleged assault. To-day —Josepb Fugitt, a boy of some fourteen years, was placed on trial on a charge of setti fire to a stable on the premises of Charles H. Brown, on the 24th day of last March. The evi- dence showed that Fugitt, in company with seve- tal other boys of about the same age, met together at the corner of Seventh and L streets east, about 7 o'clock on the night in question, when Fugitt pro to have a bonfire, aud they all started off to Brown’s stable and Fugitt got over the fence to get a plank, as he said, and after remain- ing there a few minutes, came out and told the to run. They immediately started off in different directions, and a sbort time afterward the stable was discovered to be on fire, andina short time afterward, was entirely consumed Mr Weber (for the United States) testified that a day or two after the fire above stated, another fire occurred in the neighborhood which was then borning, and a boy named Howard was in his stable yard, and Brown also. Witnessteld Brown that he thought that Howard could tell some- thing about the burning of his stable, and Brown went and = gee to Howard and took him to Justice Cul ottice.

Barrixore, Jone 2) —The theatre was densel ked this morning, the boxes being filled wit adies and the upper tiers crowded. The Convention was called to order shortly after 10 o'clock Mr. Ludlow asked if there was any information in the ion of the Convention as to the probable time before the Committee on Credentials would be prepared. The President—Not at nt. Mr. Ludlow moved to dispense with the reading of the journal. Agreed to Cries of “Go on,” and loud cries of “No, no;”? during which Mr. King made some side remark to Mr. Clark, to which Mr. Clark replied in an excited manner: ‘I am not to be deterred by your threats."’ The Convention refused, and he took his seat Mr. King, of Mo, rose to a question of privi- lege. in a newspaper he held in his hand the re- marks of another gentleman were attributed to him Mr. Hunter, of Mo., on a former day. had boasted that he had voted to tarn Colonel Benton outof the Senate. This remark was, in the yal ing he held in his hand, attributed to him. Mr desired to wear no such laurels. If they were on bis brow he would tear them off them under his feet. He desired th! to be made, in justice to him as to the attacks that had been made upon him. He de- sired to say that he never voted for any President or Congressman who was not a democrat, and the local quarrels in the State had long since been laid at rest. But he did not recognize this as a fitting place for these personal allusions. Mr. Clark, of Mo., said the remarks attributed to Mr. King bad been made by his venerable friend Col. Hunter. He proceeded in justice to the latter, to attack the course of Col’ Benton, whom be denounced as recreant to the demo- cratic party and ite principles Mr. Ludlow, of Y., rose to a point of order No question was before the Convention, and this discussion is out of order The President —The gentleman from Missouri can only proceed by ui mous consent. The President presented a letter from the Flor- ida delegation, correcting what appeared to be an erroneous impression on the part of the Con- vention. The letter stated that no proceedings of the Florida Convention had been officially communicated to the President, asthe Florida delegates were not accredited to this Convention. But a large discretion was left with the dele- gates, and they had come here anxious to return to the Convention if they saw any chance of do- ing so with honor, as they desired to re-unite the democracy on the basis of the principles laid down by the majority platform at Charleston They as yet seen nothing to warrant their return to the Convention The President explained that he had not intend- ed, in making a statement, to be understood as saying that any official application has been made to bim by the Florida delegates. Mr. Ludlow of N. Y_, said he received official information from the Committee on Credentials, that they would not be ready to report till five o'clock. He moved a recess till that time The Convention then adjourned till 5 p.m Evening Session —The Convention reassembled at5 o'clock. The house commenced early to fill up, and there was evidence on every side that the session was expected to be one of the most exciting and important that bas been beld. All this ex- pectation, however, was disappointed Mr. Stuart, of Michigan. —Mr_ President, I have within the last five miuutes bad an interview with the Chairman of the Committee on Creden- tials, as 1 passed along by the building to learn whetber they would be ready to report. I under. stand from him that {t will be impossible for them to get their report in readiness be to- morrow morning; therefore, without taking fur- ther time, I move that the Convention adjourn till to-morrow morning at 10 o'clock The question being taken, the Convention ad- journea — trample ‘xplanation DeMonetRaTion IN MONUMENT SovaRe The American says was seen in the urt House yesticu indulging in other p immediately wended their way thither, when the object of at tion slipped up to the railing and proceeded to quote from the prophectes of Eze- kiel and Isaiah to prove that the present Demo- cratic Convention was foretold some thousand years ago, and, to use bis own language, that the world would certainly come to an end if Judge Douglas and President Buchanan did not imme- diately decide the Kansas question by a rough and tamble t. He further informed his hearers that he wes of Quaker extraction, and was a dele- gate to the Convention from Ohio; that he had Spent millions of money for the party, and was not desirous of holding office or accepting the nomination for the Presidency. The speaker about time retired from the public gaze, y much fatigued by his patriotic efforts, t audieuce that be was non The flow of his eloquence was rt by police interference tight o'clock the bands accom- tions commenced to enliven d by playing numercus patriotic airs, ee fect of bring ogether a larger bas ossembled on any evening p the commencement of the Convention The larger portion ef the crowd congregated in front of the Gilmor House, and repeated calls were made for Mr. That gentle- , however, spond, and the crowd cr nobody else the Douglasites introduced , \, of Pa., who entered into a history of Judge Dougias’ career, and was of the opinion that he wos in every way qualified for the Presi- dential chair f Va., was holding forth at the the balcony of the Gilmor House, iving a somewhat different view of the d aims of the Democratic party than ¥iven by the gentleman from Pennsylvania. Both speakers were alternately applanded by their dir- ferent adherents, and were evidently convinced that their arguments were entirely correct. These gentlemen were followed by numerous Speakers on both sides, but the noise and confu- sion prevailing rendered it impossible for any one to understand what they were saying. Both parties made as much commotion es possible Among the pokes were Mr. Waliach, (anti- Douglas.) of Washington, Mr. Merrick, (Doug- las.) of Illinois, and Mr. Hague, of Virginia. ‘The crowd in front of the Gilmor House finally ceeded in yetting out Mr. Yancy, who spoke atiength from the balcony of the hotel, amid much apphiuse Whilst Mr. Yancy was speaking, Mr. of Ilinois, addressed the crowd from the las headquarters. Lhe enthusiasm, created by the Alabama gentleman, rendered it almost itm, ible for any one to hear his remarks. Occasionally the words “Constitution,” “Union,” and ‘Douglas, might be heard, the latter name being received by bis hearers with applause. Towards 11 o'clock the crowds began to dwin- dle away, so that a few minutes before that bour there was not more than a handful of men com- paratively speaking, in front of the Douglas quar- ters. The crowd in front of the Gilmor House, on the other band, began to increase, and the en- thusiasm was kept up throughout until the Speak- ing was over About this time Mr. Lowrie, of [odiana, was introduced to the crowd in front of the Hon Reverdy Johnson’s bouse, and with great warmth rocecded to address the assembly, aud succeeded 8 bringing back the crowd that drawn off to hear Mr. Yancey. At the commencement of his remarks, how- ever, the perfect yells of applause uttered by the hearers of the Southern democratic speakers, in front of the Gilmor House, drew away large numbers of bis auditory to learn the cause of the excitement. It was found that Mr. Hunter, of Louisiana, was ad@ressing the — le, and that the remarks uttered were particularly caustic. Other ery or were made by different gentle- men on b sides, and it was near midnight before the crowd wholly retired and silence set- tied down on the Square. FiGRT aT THE MaLisy Hovss Yesterpay.

Even the most sanguine friends of Douglas feel confident that New York will desert him inthe bour of need There were about two bushels of dispatches sent to Douglas last night and this morning, tell- ing him not to pay attention to the outside reports, and that everything is all right. He steadfastly refuses to answer any of these mis- sives at which some of his friends are oa Consequently they are not very choice in their language tn reviewing bis action.
