SENATE.—Mr. Sumner presented a memo- rial of Wendell Phiitips and other citizens of Massachusetts, protesting agairst any repeal of the eight-hour law. Mr. S. said that he was in full accord with the prayer of the petitioners. Mr. Morrill, of Vermont, presented a memo- rial of the hotel proprietors, theater managers, and proprictors of other public places in Wash. ington city, remonstrating against the quality of gas furnished by the Washington gas com. pany. Referred to Committee on the District of Columbia. Mr. Scott called up the resolution fixing the daily hour of meeting of the Senate at 11 a.m, when it was amended by fixing Monday next as the day upon which the resolution shall go into efiect, and it was then adopted. Mr. Ramsey called ap the annual post route bill, which was proceeded with until the expira- tion of the morning hour, when it went over. Mr. Cameron called up bill authorizing the diplomatic and consular officers of the United States, in France, to receive testimonals from the Emperor of Germany, on account of their services to the Germans in France during the late war between Germany and France. Mr. Casserly said this bill was of most doubt- ful propriety. Mr. Sumner opposed the bill, and said it would be a most vicious precedent to set. The United States had never betore given any such authority to our diplomatic officers. Mr. Cameron advocated the bill, and said the Emperor of Germany had preferred a request to this government to allow its representatives in France te receive from him some testimonial for their services. He (Mr. C.) could see no barm in aes: this request of the Emperor. The biil then went over, and the Post Ofice appropriation bill was proceeded with, the question beingon the amendment increasing the compensation for mail service between’ San Song China and Japan to $1,000,000 an- nually. Mr. Kelly did not dcom that there was any sufficient cause demanding this increase. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.—Mr Coburn, (Ind.,) from the militar} committee, reported @ bill to authorize the Secretary of War to supply to the people of Galiatin Valley, Montana, one thousand breech-loading rifled muskets and one hundred thousand rounds of ammunition. Bir. Claggett explained the necessity for the immediate passage of the bill, to protect the people against the predatory incursions of the indians. Mr. Shanks (Ind.) said he hoped the step would be taken in the other direction, and, in- stead of giving superior arms to the whites, the arms should taken from the Indians. To issue arms to the whites was to inaugurate an Indian war, aud he hoped it would not be done. The b:!] was then passed. The bill to establish the Indian territory of Oklahoma, which was pending when the House adjourned last night, was taken up as unftnished business, and its farther consideration post- poned to the second Tuesday in December next. The regular order was demanded, and the House proceeded in the morning hour to the consideration of bills reported from the com- mittee on indian affairs. The bill to provide for the removal of Flat- head and other Indians from tue territory of Montana, reported by Mr. Burdett ( Mo.) yester- day, was considered and passed. Mr. Burdett also seported a bill to confirm to the Great and Litile Osage Indi: reserva- tion in the Indian territory; which was passed. Mr. Smith (Ohio) reported a bill to abolish the tribal relations of the Miami Indiaus, and for other purpeses. Passed. Mr. Averill (Minn.) reported a bill to author- ize the Secretary o' tions for commuting Indian ann Mr. Bolles (Ark.) reported a viding homes in the Indian territory Pottowatomie and Shawnee Indians, with an smen’ment. The amendment was adopted aud the bill passed. Mr. Mitchell (Wis.) reported a bill to author- ize the Secretary of the Interior to negotiate with the Shoshone and other Indians for a por- tion of their reservation in Wyoming Territory. Passed. Mr. Adams (Ky.) reported a biil for the relict 3 yee: Red Wing and other Chippewa Indians. ‘assed. Mr. Burdett reported bills to pay to Elbridge Gerry $13.200 for important services in 1364, and for the relief of Erastus S. Joselyn, of Washing- ton Territory, against which points of order were made, and the bills referred to the com- mittee of the whole on the private calendar. A number of bills, memorials, &c., were re- ported adversely by the several members of the committee, and ordered to lie on the table. On motion of Mr. Dawes, (Mass.,) the House then went into committee of the whole on THE TARIFF BILL. Mr. Maynard (Tenn ) was recognized as enti- tled to the floor, but vielded to Mr. Wood, (N. Y.,) who had read atthe clerk’s desk a letter from General A. J. Myer, chief of the signal service, in relation to the sale of pab- lic property, denying the sales asalleged by Mr. Wood in his speech a few days since. Mr. ‘Wood said he desired to give General Myer the benefit of his denial, and to say that he made the state- ments upon the authorities of the Secretaries of War and Navy, as sent to the Houre. Mr. Maynard then addressed the House upon the subject of the bill. advocating the minority bill as a substitute for the bill reported from the committee. He advocated a revision of the in- ternal laws, with a decrease of the number of officers, the abolition of thestamp tax, redaction of taxation on other articles and ultimate aboli- tion of the internal revenue system. ry for certain NotTwitTustanpine the protracted spell of dry weather, which has nearly dried up the fountains, and begotten serious apprehensions for the summer months, it is a universal remark that the wheat never looked tiner at this season of the year.
