TAKING A PicrcRe—Some time ago an artist of an illustrated weekly took occasion to sketch the members of the Committee on Foreign irs, conducting the Emma Mir investigation. Tne result, so far as like- resses of thase present were concerned, was @ failure. Mr. Swann, the dignitied cha man, compared to his counterfeit in ti weod-cut Isas“hyperion to a salyr.” Today another artist dropped in to make @ sketch. He began at the foot of the table and sketch- ed the several members. As he neared the chairman of the “Foreign Budget” Commit- lee the gentleman from Maryland became somewhat uneasy, remembering his fate in tte first picure. When the artist got near enough to Mr. Swann the latter drew from his pecket @ photograph of himself and slipped it into the sketcher’s bands, and his eyes twinkled thoughts,““Now you may get me up right and in good shape.” It had been the intention, any way, of the artist to use a photegrap Prince Bismarck to rap- resent the distinguished chairman; and as he now gets himself up it would not baye been far out ef the way. PROTECTION oF VoxreRs —In the Senate yesterday Mr. Morton introduced a bill pro: viding that persons or officers cuarged with the duty of furnishing to citizens an oppor- tunity to perform any act which a state or territory may prescribe as a prerequisite for voting, shall giveto all citizens the same and equal opportunity to perform such pre- requisite, aud to become qualified to vote. without distinction of race, color, or previou cond! of servitude, and failing todo th! they sball forfeit foreach offence to the per- Son aggrieved $509 to be recovered with full cost abd such allowance for counsel fees as the court shall deem just, and shall also be deemed gutity of a misdemeanor, and ou conviclion tha!) be fined not less than #500, Fr be imprisoned not less than onemonth and more than oh# year, or toth at the dis- retion of the er two of the bill Tribes the ea for any person | by force, br 8, intimidation, | or other uniawiul «-s. oneal hinder, delay, prevent, or obstr.-', ur shall combine to prevent, &c., any citizen (rom doing any act required to qualify him to yote.

In pening Ae bill Mr. Morton said that the object of the bill was so to amend the enforcement act as to bring it witain the decision of the U. 8. Supreme Court. He beped the Jndiciary Committee would give H ilearly consideration. THE SENATR TO-DAY. the Senate Yo of the House occupied seats in the ebamber. Mr. Lord, chairman of the man- agers, read the articles in alow but distinct tone of voice, and was listenet to with close attention by most of the Senators.

There was issued from the Treasury de partment on Saturday, and forwarded to all superintendents of public buildings through- out the country a circular stating that ow- ing to the fact ‘that the appropriation ma te for fuel, light, water and other miscellaneous items fer public buildings for the fiseal year ending June 30, 1-76,1s now completely ex- bansted, they ‘(the superintendents) are ordered to shut olf the gas and water in the butidings under r superintendence receipt of the circular, and discharge all of the engineers, laborers aad other employes who have been paid trom said appro; A dispatch from Postmaster Jamos, o: York, states that the gas there will be mediately shut off, and night operations in the basement roust be suspended, uuless some pest office frm will pay the bills, other- wise the entire postal service will be crip pled.

In the absence of the Postmaster Goueral, Mr. Marshali, acting Postmaster General, visited the Committee on Appropriations ye-terday afternoon, to make a suggestion which would relieve all from embarrass- ment. Mr. Randall, the chairman, how- ever, refused to give hima hearing, believ- ing it, he said, a trick of the republican party to embarrass him and the committee, and to force them into taking up a deficiency bill at this inopportune time. The ipo eet ment applies to post offices in public build- ipgs only. There is aa riation at the Post Office department for post offices not in publie buildings, which is not nearly ex- pated, and tt was Mr. Marshall's inteation, i) slowed, to have ments mate to nee this appropriation for immediate though t mporary lef. The matter was talket over in the Cabinet meeting to-day, and tie conclusion reached that they would have to grope in the dark until the Appropriatioas Committee gave light. THE MONEY COMING.

The Committee on Expenditures in the War department examined this morning J. J. Sojely. He knew nothing about General Hedrick, the sale of post-traderships, or any matter pertaining to the investigation in progress. GEN. CUSTER EXPLAINS. Gen. Custer was recalled, and said the rea- son hedid not give tho information of the looseness about post-iraderships before was on account of the following War department order of March 15th. 1873: ‘That no officer, either active or retired, shall, directly or in- directly, without being called upon by proper authority, solici:, suggest, or recommend action by members of Congress for or against military affairs. All petitions to Congress by officers relative to subjects of a military character will be forwarted through the general of the army to the Secretary of War for their action and transmittal.” Gen. Custer sail in view of this order, officer felt like complaining about the Secres tary of War, because the Secretary would pigeon hole the communication, and proba- bly the officer also. Under this order it was utterly impossible for the ariny to_be heard except throngh the Secretary of War, as it was just as binding on the general of the army as It was on apy of his commissioned subordinates. CIVILIZATION AT FORT BUFORD. Itwas generally Known in armny circtes hat Gen. Hazen bad complained about the le of post traderships. He was sent to Fort Buford afierwaris. There is co et zation at that fort except what an officer takes with him; Hazen married a daughter of Washington MeLean, of the Clocinuzti Enquirer; she represents about al) the elvili- zation there isat Fort Buford.

The Committee ou the Expenditures of the Interior Department resumed the investigae tion of affairs in the U. S. insane asylum is morning. ANOTHRR EX-ATTENDANT’S STORY James W. Boswell testified that he was em- ployed In the asylum for several months as an attendant; that several of the wards there were fithy: there were not two men in the ward who were not filled with vermin; often saw patients inhumanly treated. Tue re- mainder of the evidence of this witness was mainly corroborative of that of those who were €xamined yesterday. AN EX-INEBRIATE CONFEDBEATE SOLDIER ON THE STAND C. Trlan testified t ly treated there, and v d clothed. Witnes® pald his board while he was there. He was in the inebriate department. The eating was worse thaa he sot in ti herp army. The coffee, or what was called coflee, was horrible. Spoiie1 meat was often Rent up to the patients; most of ihe meat furnished was necks. Few of the patients got enough to eat, such as it was. Witness was a sub clerk, and did a great deal of the writing for the hospital. Waen pat'ests refused toeat what was given them, a Jot of tallow was pumped down their throats by force. Saw patients forced into old baths and chilled s required to dress in 0+ e case Where @ patie: tieatment. After the hospital passed Cozg: always Jollowed. A SHOWER The wit css then reiate ationta bi y im prop died three days afterwards, aud was then put on the report as discharged. ONE WITNESS WHO HAS §SOT Ff MISSED FLOM THE INSTITUTION Fur CAUSE. . Dr. Win. H. Marvelt testiGed that hé haa been the assistant surgeon at the asylum for four years, aud was tere now. The treat- ment and food were good; the workingmen were give) meat every morning, wilh one or two vegetables, bread and ecoifee. Bollet and Toast neat, vegetables and breaa for dinner; bread and tea avd ginger bread for supper. When patients were unruly they were put in their rooms, force being used only when it was necessary. No case of violence has ever taken place when it did not result in the in- stant discharge of the attendant using vio- lence. Visited ail the patients twicea day, morning and evening; often several times a day. The wards were cieanly and neat; never knew of any spoiled meat to be used in the hospital: when an occasional piece of tainted meat is found it is rejected. Dr. Nichojs visits the wards about once a week; sometimes nol so often. Patients are prop- erly cared for, fed and receive proper atten- ov. Think that the farm is avery large revenue to the hospital. Cases occasioaally came to the hospital with vermin on them, apd they go right to work and get rid of them. Tastructions are given the attendants to report the condition of the food when there isacomplaint about it. Had no knowledge of the patient, Mr. Adams, belog injured by the attendants. LOWRY’S DEATH. Lowry mentioned above died of organic disease of the heart, and it was frequeutly necessary to bathe him as he was very un- Udy in his personal condition. Thought !t was necessary to examine all letters before they are sent out, it has always been the practice of the hospital. Letters of proper chayacter are allowed to be sent. If Lowry bad been subjected toa cold bath it was not by his orders—the attendants frequentiy washed the patients. Do not regard a cold bath as proper treatment for a patient af- fected with the beart disease. Did not know that be had heart disease until the post mor- tem. The cuse had been regarded a3 a case of softening ofthe brain. Had given orders thst Lowry be given a warm bath. Lowry had been there for two years and diet there. Often pumped beef tea into the stomachs of the patients. Congressman Mellish,of New York, died of exhaustion of acute mania. It was beerssary to pump food into the patients, especially when they are laboring under a delusion and refused to eat. The doctor then explainca the feeding of patients by the pumping process. and the committee adjourned until to-morrow mora- ing. Hereafter no witness in the mterest of the asylum will be examined until the case against it bas been fully beard; then Dr. Nichols wt} have an opportunity to make out his defence.

He testified that he bad an interest in the Emma mine when tt was first discover- ed, bat Knew nothing of General Schenck’s connection with it. He sold his interest, one sixteenth of the profits, to T. W. Parke in isl. The mine was then thought to be Worth ©15,000,000. His interest was not saf- M. ient to control the mine, and he did not With an interest in anything that he could notin part control. He was advised to sell by bis repbew, James M. Day, and the man- ager of we,mine, Mr. Matthews. The latter gave the opinion that one velu would soon be exhausted. Thrt was in Septeraber, 1870. Mr. Matbews’ judgment then has since roven correct. When witness sold ta Parke e thonght he was selling one million dol- lars. In April anew deposit’ was dis- covered northwest direction of the mine. Mathews did not long remaio in charge of the mine after Parke’s purchase. He was succeeded by Silas Williams. Never knew why Mathews was discharged. When witness sold his Interest no patent bad been obiained. Parke then said that the prospect for a patent was good, but that an arrange- ment would have to be made with the Lyon party. Was informed by parties interested that money had been paid ia Wasblagton to get the patent. He was assessed for a certain amount. but does net know how mac’ Day was subjected to a long cross exami- uation by Mr. Phelps, counsel for Mr. Parke. STILL BELIEVES IN “LITTLE EMMA.” In reply to General Banks, witness said he differcd Trom Mr. Mathews as to the ore be- ing about to be exhausted. Witness was @ practical miner and did not know of any one Who then agreed with Mathews; never knew of a systematic attempt to impose a fraud upon the public in connection with the mine. In answer to Mr. Williams, he said that at the time he sold his tnterest in the mine he thought it was worth more than he got for it. It was worth, he still thinks, two qillion and a half dollars. He had no doubt but that the Emma mine ts situated ona true silver vein, and as fine a one as he ever saw in all of bis experience. He had no more doubt that the Emma mine was on a trae vein than he had that the mines of the Com- #tock lode were on true veins The Fall of Matamoras TRE CAVALRY FIGHT AND SURRENDER Luter particulars of the doings in Mexico are being received. About balfpast seven a fight took place between the Ninth regular cavalry and the regiments of Lapareoa and Amgine. This was outsideot the town. Tue cavalry surrendered. THE FIGHT AT THE FoRTS Two pieces of artillery were taken at Monterey Fort by the revolutionists and carried by hand to some part of the city. The former gunners served them when they were firing upon Casa Mata.

White” and “€ —Tue Kansas legislature, at Is Jast session, amended the act relating to sublic schools by striking out the word white,” Ubus virtually abolishing the col- ored schools and making the pubiic scbools free to all, irrespective of color. The fight between the colors has already begun in Leavenworth by the refusal to admit a col- ored girl to the Morris buliding, occupied ely by white puplis. The superinten ent of public instruction referred the case to the school board, which upheld bis action.

More than half of the members of the school board have stated plainly that they do not sane- “on the action of the legislature, and will tage the mixture if it is possible for them to do 60.” New York DEMockats at LOGGER BEADS._The New York correspondent of the Philadelphia poe Says: “Present in- dications point toa bitter struggle in the approaching democratic state convention between the Tammany and anti-Tammany factions from this city.

Morrissey is a strong Tu- | den man, and as Kelly is understooi to be | weakenfpg on that point, it would not be surprising if the governor's frieads should vote to admit the former to seats in the con- vention.” Two MEN AND ONE WoMAN—Now ONLY OnE WoMaN.—Tuaxton T.
