In SUMMER CostUME.—The House presented avery cosy appearance this morning, the car- pets all having been removed and replaced with matting, There was a quorum present at the meeting, but it having been understood that no business would be transacted a number of mem- bers were alient, and the House at once ad- journed. THE MaRxet-Hovse Questi0oN.—This morn- ing, ® memorial was placed upon the desk of every member of Congress, signed by “ George W. Emerson, Berjamin F. Hunt, John Dunn, George M. Oyster, George Holmes, Commit on Uehale of the ‘tarket en.” = on e memorial protests against the passage of the bill incorporating the Washington Market Company an: ‘k for a charter for a company on a plan satisfactory to the marketmen. FoR SOME TIME past an almost intolerable stench has pervaded the eastern poriion of the floor of the House, but no cau-e for it could be ascertaived until Friday last, when the caps of the registers through which the beat passes were removed, and a rumber of them were iourd to contain tobacco juice, old quids of tobacco, & > , which bad been accumula: ng cor weeks, ard the odor arising therefrom may be imagines’ especially when the beat was turned on and created a steam jiom the tobace9 juice. IN THE FORTHCOMING Repubican Congress- ional cuces a Southern Senator intends ta pro- pore a policy, to be incorporated into a law, for the better protection of the colored people of the South, and to secure the enforcement of the fi.ceenth amendment in the North. This will take something of the shape of a bill prepared by Mr. Pool, of North Carolina, and which witi declare that the ciiizens of the United States shall have in the several States all the privi- leges and immuniiiesof life, liberty and prop- erty. It will declare it to be unlawful for per- sons to combine or conspire to violate or hinder or impede any of therights meant to be secured by this act, one of which is to prevent the dis- charge from employment of any person with in- tent to restrain his free and complete exercfte 0: the elective franchise. Another feature of this proposed legislation is to authorize the Presi- dent to employ the land and naval forces or the militia to preserve the peace in any State. A Vrry Proper Answen.—Mesers. William E. Chandler, Sella Martin, and —— Barbadoes waited upon Secretary Boutwell on Saturday, to induce him to interfere in behalf of Sayles J. Bowen. The Secretary expressed his desire that the differences in the Republican ranks here should be harmonized, but very properly de- clined to interfere in the contest. ‘We bave much respect for Messrs. Chandier and Martin, but we must say to them that they are volunteering to do very mischievous, un- called-for, and impertinent work in under- taking to interfere in the municipal affairs of Washington, and against Kepublicans of the standing of Matihew G. Emery and Major Richards. oe We learn that the colored people of Washing- ton express considerable dissatisfaction with the course of Messrs. Martin and Barbadoes in as- suming to represent them in local matters, as they do not recognize these gentlemen as in any way identified with ¢hem or entitled to speak sor them. : SHERIDAN’s VIEWS ON THE INDIAN Ques- TIox.—Mr. DeB.

"The bill to reduce taxation was taken up, on motion of Mr. Morrill, of Vermont, who to address some remarks bearing upon the sub- ject. He said that the country was rapidly at- pee such a condition that ere a would be able to dispense with direct taxation, and attention would thenceforth be directed to the tariff; and it was on this that he desired to make :ome remarks.

HOUSE.—The House reassembled at twelve o'clock. The hall presented a very neat ap- perrance, new matting having been laid down im the place of the green carpet which ywi~ ously covered the floor. Concrary to gene! expectation, there was a quorum present. seon as the journal was read, Mr. Allison, in accordance with what he alleged was the un: a ling of the House, moved an adjourn- rent Mr. Farnsworth denied that there was any such understanding, and demanded the ayes and noes, and The House, by a vote of T7 ayes to 58 noes, at 12:40 adjourned. ——_—-.0e--_ THE FRENCH ELECTION. Paris, May 8—The prefect of police thi< morning issued the following proclamation «Rumors alarming for the public peace late im several parts of the san and disor- ders are predicted as sure to follow the counting of the vote. The prefect of police therefore dcems it his duty to warn citizens that the most efticacious measures have been taken to repress with epergy and here urreeg every attempt at sedition. ‘The prefect invites all good citizens to keep away from places where criminal at- tempts may be ‘meds, and thus be specially charged with insuring respect for persons and Panis, May 8.—The voting on the plebisci- tum is completed, and the counting has com- menced. Great military precautions were taken, and the city has been quiet all day. Des- es trom the departments report all quiet mi-official journals —_ disturbances to-night or to-morrow, but nothing has occurred up to the present bour to confirm their fears. All the election committees are assembled at their places of meeting, and will remain there all night to receive returns from the provinces. Polls were opened in the barracks, and nearly all the soldiers in and around the city cast their votes, but no civilian whs admitted to witnes- the voting. The police continue to be unremit- ting in their search for parties implicated in the — conspiracy, and many arrests were made to-day. Lissaragag has been condemned to a year’s imprisonment and a tine of two thousand francs for making violent speeches at political meetings. Other persons have received similar sentences for making infiamatory speeches in the provinces, where manyijournals have also been seized, and several condemned to heavy penalties. A large number of arrests have been made in the departments. Gustave Flourens is still in London. Panis, May 8, 11 p. Sy have assem- bled in immense crowds im the Boulevards and other parts of the city. The agitation is very great, but there has been no conflict with the police or the troops. Nothing definite as to the result of the vote is known at this hour, but it is roughly esti: that the city has given 139,000 votes against and 17,000 tor the plebiscitum. | In the departments, so far as heard from, a great majority has been cast in the affirmative. The ns against an outbreak are doubled. military guard has been stationed Tuilleries, and the places of the Conservatoire des Arts et Metiers are Gig oe by troops, and the Place des Invalides is filled with cavalry. Fresh troops trom the Camp of ‘St. Maur arrived in Paris to-night. Paris, May 8, mi it.—The vote on the plebiscitum in the city of Paris, with one section only to hear from, is as follows :—“Yes,”’ 138,700; “No,” 182,881. The city remains tranquil. A tew returns from the peng etn foot up as follows :—‘*Yes,”’ 106,536; ‘‘No.”” 39,319. The French Plebiscita: Its Origin ma Kntemt.” al Article thirty-two of the French constitution of the 14th of January, 1852, which, with the modifications of various Senatus Consulta, is the present constitution of France, reads as follows “All modifications in the fundamental basis o! the constitution, such as they were laid do’ the proclamation of the 2d of December (1: and adopted by the Frenc , Shall be sub- mitted to universal sufirage.” This appeal to universal suffrage is known in France as @ p!-- biscite, fromthe Latin compound word plebis- citum or plebiscitum—a law wade by the com- mon consent of the people, without the inter- vention of the Senate or the legislative er.
