Buell, which are missing from the archives of the War department. He said that if his name was mentioned In the records, it must have been to his credit; he made this remark in order to discredit the insinuations that possibly he had some agency inthe removal of the records to hide unfavorable comments or testimony upon his conduct while acting as Milli Governor of Tennessee; the commission was held before he came to Washington to take his seat as Vice President, and after he President he never thought of the rub; of the records, his mind beng engaged pT ed lic affairs, nor did he know that they were lost until he saw publi- cations to that fect in the newspapers. ‘Tux Onancr, ALEXANDRIA AND MANAf: Rartroap Britt Passep—The bill which railroad ae thont amend of the and n- down sin, slong 1 ts Western terminus its Intersection with the ‘Washi canal, now in process of being Along the ground Seretaiore peracing Tea ground by the b> Lae ene ALES : south, of the ipubile buildings gad and thence along one of said streets eeeedl under the pul grounds east of Capitol building, upon such route and insuch manner as the eaid engineer may preseribe, to 2d or 3d street east; thence along said 2d or 3d street to the Hine of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad; no s be FORTY-SECOND CONGRESS, This Afternoon’s Proceedings. Tvespay, June 4. SENATE,—Mr. Sumner presenteda memori 1 of the International Grand Lodge of the Knights of St. Crispin, representing 100,900 shoemakers, protesting against any repeal or modification of the eight hour law. Mr. Thurman submiited a resolution from the committee on ele ivileges, that rom North THE BILL, and said the reduction agree mittee amounted to about $35,000,000. Mr. Thurman did not approve altogether of the bill, but would yote for the conrerence re- pert as the best that could be got. Mr. Scott believed that the ten per cent. re- duction on iron was a mistake, but as the bill had been elaborately discussed in both houses, and had gone to a conference committee, he was disposed to accept the report as an earnest of stability, and in the hope that for years to come Congress would not be i called upon to either raise or reduce the taritt. Mr. Alcorn complained that the bill as it now stood was unjust to the people of the south in the duties imposed on cotton bagging and qui- nine. Mr. Conkling criticised portions of the report. After further discussion, the report was con- curred in, THE ORANGE ROAD IN THIS DISTRICT. The bill to authorize the Orange, Alexandria and Manassas railroad to run trams and trans- brid orem er and freight within the limits of the District of Columbia was passed. NEW YORK CUSTOM- HOUSE INYRSTIG ATION. Mr. Howe submitted a report, with accomp nying testimony, ofthe majority of the New York Custom-house investigation committee. Mr. Bayard, in behalf of himself and Mr. Casserly, the minority of the committee, subs mitted a statement, and asked leave to have their views printed during the recess. He said the action of the majority in this case was unu-, sual, and was proceeding, when Mr. Howe called him to order, and made the point that there was nothing before the Senate. He satd that he made the point because he wished to postpone the remarks of Mr. Bayard until an opportunity could be afforded to reply to what @ said. Mr. Bayard merely wished to obtain leave for the minority to print during the recess. Mr. Morrill! (Vt.) said it would be setting a very improper precedent, and afford an untair advantage to the minority to give them leave to print, at their own convenience, a review of the majority report. The paper submitted by Mr. Bayard was then read from the desk. It sets forth that the minority were not aware that the majority i tended to submit a report at this session, an therefore, they had not time to prepare the views. Mr. Howe was under the impression that every member of the committee knew per- fectly well that a report was to be male at th session. He thought that so early as Wednes- day of last week ull the members ot the com- mittee were notified that they could read the, report which had been prepared. vlessrs. Casserly and Bayard both stated that they had never heard of any report until Sat- lay. Mr Howe asked Mr. Bayard whether he meant tosay that he had not been notified ot the purpose of the majority. Mr. Bayard said he meant distinctly to say that very thing. He never until last Saturday knew of the purpose of the majority. Mr. Edmunds said there never was an instance where a minority of a committee had been given the power to file their views officially when the Senate was not in session, and be could not consent to sacrifice a sound parliamentary prin- ciple. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. —Mr Wilson (Ind.), from the committee on the ju- diciary, reported a Dill to provide for holdin terms of the district court of the western distric t of Missourl at St. Joseph and at Spriugtiv:a.

It was referred to the committee which on foreign affairs. Mr. Eldridge (Wis.,) from the committee on Judiciary, reported a bill for the relief of the widow and ss peed children of George Johns, of Kentucky. Passed. Mr. Speer (Ga.) introduced a bill for the re- moval of the political disabilities of Lucius J. Gartrell, of Georgia, which was amended by the addition of the names of Davia a of Ala- 1a, Manning M.

Passed. ‘he Senate amendment to the House bill to provide for filling vacancies in certain offices in the territories was concurred in. Mr. Dawes, from the committee of conference, submitted a report upon the tariff bill, which was adopted. Mr. Garfield (Ohio) said there were now three appropriation bills pending, but they were all in the Senate. If the House would work up to these bills when they came back, the House could easily be ready to adjourn on Monday. He therefore moved that when the House ad- journ it be to mect on Friday; which was agreed to. It was subsequently unanimously agreed that there should De a session to-morrow, for the purpose of signing the tariff bill, and for no Other purpose whatever ‘The House then, at 2 The Greelte; m., adjourned. + ee wins Mass Meeting in New York.

This Afternoon’s Dispatches, PHILADELPHIA TO-DAY. THE GREAT CONVENTION. Opening of the Rall. CAUCUSING FOR THE VICE PRESIDENCY Colfax and Se ator Wilsoy Lien. [Special Dispatch to the Bve Puiravetrara, June 4.—The Philadelph convention though not formally organized may be suid to be present to-day in au unorganized mass meeting, the spirit of which seems to be but little dampened by a prevailing easterly storm. Delegations and clubs are arriving in the rain from all quarters, beaded by bands of music and decorated with flags, and marching to their respective quarters, The city has got allits bunting out and presents otherwise in every section a gala appearance. Yesterday the struggling portions of delegations were ny and unexpectedly entered upon the spirit of caucussing for the vice pres.dency with great zeal. New Hampshire was the first on’ the und with a full delegation, and commenced e campaign by Vilson. work g Bod Senator The indiana delegation, led by ex-Senator Lane, and accompanied te about sixty of the prominent republican politic:ans of the state. at once opened the poll for Colfax. Ohio hoisted the name of ex-Gov. Dennison to be pressed first, last and all the time, where»pon Pennsy!- vania held an informal conference and thus added to the excitement. The Connecticut delegation worked hard to present Governor Hawley as a compromise candidate. while Speaker Blaine and General Banks were ocea- sionally mentioned. ELECTIONRERING TACTICS. ‘Thus the situation stood at midnight, impar- tial observers looking upon the contest between Mr. Uolfax and Senator Wilson as about even. This was preliminary skirmishing, however; for, with the exception of the New Hampshire delegation, not one was complete, and therefore could not be positively counted. Senator Wil- son’s friends are this morning first on the [aoe in the a, of «demonstration. The assachusetts Ceniral Grant Campaign Club opened spacious headquarters at the corner of Broad and Chestnut streets, tlung their flags to the breeze, and commenced to make speeches and distribute documents in favor of their can- didate for Vice President. One of their circu- jars with which they are flooding the delegates opens in this wise:—“ Secretary Cameron Said, in his letter to Henry Wilson: “No man, in my opinion, in the whole country has done more to aid the War department in preparing the mighty army now under arms than yourself.’ At the close of the called session of Congress in 1861 Lieut. Gen. Scott emphatically declared thi Senator Wilson had cone more work in tha’ short session than ali the chairmen of the mili tary committees had done for the last twent, years. Atter the first Bull Run battle he re turned to Massachusetts id his persona labors raised two thousand three hundred men. Among the numerous bills introdueed by Heury Wilson was one to raise 500,00 men for three years to enforce the laws; to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia, ete.; and he was a republican thirty-two years ago.” THE NEWSPAPER SYNDICATE. The Wilson men are working with these ap- peals upon the co'ored delegates, and are also urging that the labor element demands his nom- ination. They are also reinforced by what the Philadelphia papers call the Washington syn- dicate of newspaper men, whose headquarters atthe Gifard House have the motto, “ ner thing to beat Colfax.” J. B. McCullagh, of the St. Louis Democrat, and about a dozen republican Washington correspondents, com- pose the syndicate. Forney's /’r-ss to-day says that the strongest and best organized opposition to the renomination of Vice President Colfax comes from the newspaper correspondents at Washingt All the representatives of the great dailies are imtere in the movement, and understanding so well the working of the wires, their hostility i-powertul. One of their strongest points against Lim is an article Which he wrote for the Independent in 1510, in which he made nse of the following language * { intend with this term to close my political life absolutely. The people will want some eastern or southern Vice President, and should have one. I shal! leave public tite voluntarily, and without regret, and expect to go into active business. My triends all know of my determi- nation, and f assure them it !s no pretence, but areality, as you will see.” ‘The correspondent: claim to have already accomplished Mr. Cole fax’s defeat, but the claim is hardly supported by the facts. They are circulating this letter in printed form, aud are working individually with a zeal that is the sensation of the hotels. Postmaster Hailoway, of Indianapolis; Mr. Shoemaker, of Baltimore; the Maryland and Indiana delegates, commenced a tiercelopposi- tion to the syndicate to-day, amd are charging boldly that they are for the most pagt corre- spondents whom Colfax recused to recommend for twelve*hundred dollar consniates. WHAT SHAW SAYS. Shaw and others say that itis false. Words run high, and two or three times to-day personal col- lisions have been imminent, The Indiana dele- gates demand to know what this newspaper op- position to Colfax is founded on. All sorts of replies are given, which are more general than detailed. Colfax is developing great strength with the southern deiegates. Maryland is for him solid, having been instreted, and will cast her vote for him all the time. Tennessee is'in- structed for Hon. Horace Maynard on the tirst ballot, and after that is divided. Virginie ic instructed for Senator Lewis, and after that it is claimed that 6 will be a majority of the det- egates for Senator Wilson, though a number are supposed to be favorable to Uotfax. Ala- bama, without any instructions, is sapposed to be about evenly divided between Colfax and Wilson. The Mississippi delegation have ar- rived, and most of them are for Colfax. The colored members of the Louisiana and Texas delegations are generally tor Colfax. The Georgia delegation understand that the en- dorsement of the present administration by their state convention is equa! to instructing them for Grant and Colfax. South Carolina is divided on the Vice Presidency. The friends of Senator Wilson claim North Caroliua tor him folid, and 28 of the 30 Missouri delegates are pledged to him. Ohio will stick to Dennison for Vice President as long as there is any hope of his nomination. We can deny authoritatively that Governor Dennison has written auy letter withdrawing from the convention as a candi- date for Vice President. Gen’l Comly, of the O hio State Journal, isthe Governor's best friend and is working for ‘him assidious!y. Indiana ix solid for Colfax, and will stick to’ him through thick and thm and to the last.

The meeting will be presided over by H. Kaster, Esq., of the Chicago Staats Zeitun), the great German re- publican organ ot Illinois. Taiks among the Germans, those restdents of this city and those here from abroad, show an unanimous preference for Grant. Upon the subject of the ice Presidency they express no preference.
