SENATE.—Mr. Sumner rose immediately after the reading of the journal, and asked to make @ personal explanation in reference to certain allegations which he found in a morn- ing paper, and sent to the desk the morning Patr is city, and had read the following aded: resident and Mr. Sumner. “Within the Inst ten days an attempt bas b mad by mutual friends of the President « Pnmner to bring abont a reconciliatton, or, at least, a ter us dere*endine. and, after consuitati nthe President was appreached on this subject by a dis tingn'shed New England Senator.

SUMNER THEN SATD, if there was any reason to believe this state- ment would be contined to this newspaper, he might not notice it; but he was informed last evening that a statement of this kind was to be telegraphed, and for two evenings he had been approached and asked to give his sanction to the statement. He had declined, and said he would have nothing to do with it. Now to the allegations. He appealed to his friend trom Indi (Mr. Morton,} and to every one of his associates for proof that he had never uttered a disrespectful word against the President in ex- ecutive session. He had criticized the Presi- dent's course, but only in the exercise of his duty. He bad never, never charged any dis- honesty upon the President, as was stated; and for thie he appealed to the country, wherever he had spoken. He had in society, in conversa- tion with the Secretary of the Treasury and of State, spoken freely of the President's acts; and he summoned those two distinguished gen. tlemen as witnesses to testify to what he had said. NEW BILLS INTRODUCED. Mr. Edmunds introduced bill increasing pen- sions of disabled soldiers and sailors, and widows of deceased soldiers and sailors. Referred to mittee on Pensions. rT, Scott introduced bill to equalize and tix salaries of certain bureau officers. Mr. Sherman introduced bill to incorporate the American Loan and Trust Company. Ke- ferred to Committee on District of Columb Mr. Corbett introduced bill to tix the salar’ ot heads of Executive departments and of the justices ofjthe United States. Keferred te Com- mittee on Judiciary. On motion of Mr. Thayer, the President was requested to furnish the Senate with a state- ment of the costs of freights to the United States, to the Pacific coast, by way of Cape Horn and the Isthmus. Mr. Davis offered a resolution that the Secre- tary of the Senate furnish Senators with envel- opes that will“ stick.” (Laughter.) Adopted. Mr. Sherman moved to take up the su, ball. Mr. Casserly moved to take up his bill re- pealing the income tax. THE SAN DOMINGO RESOLUTION. Pending discussion the morning hour expired and the resolution proposing the appointment of a commission to visit Dominica, being the unfinished business, came up in regular order. Mr. Sherman moved to postpone it in order to take up the sugar bill. Mr. Howard called tor ayes and noes upon the motion. Mr. Sumner styled the resolution pernicious, and regarded it 8s impossible to be passed to- day, and ap understanding existed in the House by which no business was to be transacted morrow. Mr. Conkling said if that was th8 case the San Domingo resolution should be passed to- ~~, and its Iriends should sit it out. ir. Morton hoped the friends of the resola- tion would sit it out. and he r It should not be to-di he did not be- lieve that all the ingenuity of the Senator from jusetts cou) consume much more time. The motion of Mr. Sherman was lost—ay. nays, 29; and the San Domingo resolution Was proceeded with, on which Mr. Tipton was entitled to the tioor. Mr. Tipton proceeded to advocate the refer- ence of the resolution to the Committee on Foreign Relations. Mr. Bayard said the resolution on this subject offered by Mr. Sumner should be considered first, and thought that when that resolution was answered, it might give all information neces- sary, and render unnecessary the passage of Mr. Morton's resolution. Mr. Bayard gave way to Mr. Lewis, who called up the House bil! to RELIKVE THE DISABILITIES OF CERTALW CITI- ZENS OF VIRGINIA which was read. Mr. Trumbull moved as an amen(ment the bill reported from the Select Committee on Dis- abilities, granting general amnesty. ‘ Mr. Lewis besought the Senator not to jeop- ardize his bill by this amendment.
