HABLE BROTHERS, EVENING STAR. Washington News and Gossip. THE ATTENDANCE in both houses of Con- gress to day was very si'm. The democrats bad a majority 'n the Senate. Joun A. GRAHAM, of Iowa, for a long time assistant register of the Treasury, has sent in his resignation, to take effect on the 30th instant, and it has been accepted.

SENATOR SHERMAN is credited with the intention of introducing a bill to raise the postage on newspapers to four centsa pound As this would be four times the price of freight on goods, the averagedistance of the deilvery of the newspapers of the country, it would bea most unreasonable and destruc live tax on the dissemination of general in- telligeuce. IMPROVING THE CoIN.—The director of the mint has for some time past been arrang- ing for an improvement in the devices on the coinage. The principal change wili be the substitution of a classic head of Liberty in place of the sitting figure on the obverse of the silver coins.

The matter was given into the charge of Gen. Babcock, and Mr. Barker, undertaker, was sent to Onio recently to seperintend the reraoval of the body. hen he undertook to do so, however, he waa pre- vented by the McPherson Monumental asso- ciation there, who got an injunction against it, claiming tireir right to the ngs Upon the receipt of a dispatch to that effeet here from Mr. Barker, Col. Elliott started last nigbt for Clyde, Ohio, with the expectation of settling tie matter amicably at once. PETITION OF WASHINGTON MARKET DEALER*.—A petition, signed by nearly 200 dealers fn the “‘Ceater Market,” was pre- sented im the Senate to-day yt Mr. Merri- mon, on was referred to the Committee on the District of Columbia, praying that Con- gress caren pass House bill No. 2.339, en- Utled A bill to amend the charter of the Washington Market Company.” The peti- Uuners set forth that m violation of law the company has imposed @ rate of rentai Ille- sally and arbitrarily upon them; and that seid rental is largely in excess of the value of the stalls, aad twice or three times as much as they were formerly required to pay to the authorities of Washington.

Mr. Coo! stated that MR. BLAINE’S ILLNESS. Suddenness of the Attack, His Improved Condition Te day. Ex Speaker James G. Blaine was attacked with something akin to sun-stroke when about to enter the Congregational church, corer of 10th and E streets, yesterday about ilo’clock a.m. He seemed as well as usual in the morning, and walked with Mrs. Blaine to church. It was execedingly warm at the time, and ag they mounted the steps Mr. Biaine pulled 6ut bis handkerchief and wiped his face, aud sat down on the top step lead- ing tothe church. He told Mrs. Blaine that he felt @ severe pi in the back of his head, and that he beileved he was about to be sun- track. He asked that he be takea home, pd thst Dr. Pope, the family physician, bs sent for. Mrs. Bialne sent fora carriage, but nore being In the neighborhood be was iifted into@ Mount Pleasant omaibus and taken » big residence. In the meantime he had become quite unconscious, and on arriving at bis residence was putin bed. Dr. Pops, the family physician, and Surgeon Ganeral Barnes soon arrived, and were followed by Drs. Bliss, Verdi aud Cox. They all agreed that THE CASE WAS A SERIOUS ONE. After a medical consultation his breast was covered with plasters to create heaithy respiration, if possible. The front windows weie thrown open to make the test of noting the effect of sunlight on the eye, but the vacant stare continued. Everything was tried to create_a@ reaction, without success, until about 3:35 o'clock p. m., when the papt! of the eye contracted in response to the flare ofamaich. This was regarded as a hopeful sign. About 4:30 o'clock he showed signs of con- Scieusness, when Mrs. Blaine, who had been constantly fanning Lim and watching every feature for four hou: sked him if he knew her. He answered, “Yes; it's mamma.” She asked him how be felt, and he responded, “What is it’ Electricity and the usual remedies were kept up, and an etort was made to gethim tosleep. Soon afterwards he fell into @ natural sicep, which lasted until? o'clock last evening. Meanwhile the news of his iliness had rapidiy spread throughout the District, and greatanxiety and solleitade were expressed as to his condition through the day and evening. FRIENDS BY THE SCORF called to inquire as to his condition. Among tbe callers were General Sherman, Post- master General Jewell, aud Secretaries Fisb, Chandler, Robeson and Bristow, Hon. Fernando Wood, and o:hers. When Mr. Blaine recovered consciousness he asked for bis little daughter, who approached and Kissed him, Hequietly yielded to the sug- gestions of nis physicians, and seemei dis- posed to sleep, DE. POPE'S STATEMENT. Last evering Dr. Pope said the case was oue of simple cerebral depression, produced primarily by great mental strain and sec- ocdly by the action of excessive heat. Taere was, in his opinion, no apoplectic congestion or effasion, nor any symptoms of paralysis. Atta. m. Mr. Biaiue was sleepin, tural and quietly, At 1:15 he was still sleeping.

About noon to-day ropes were stretched Across 15th street, at both H and I streets, to prevent the passage of vehicles in front of Mr. Blaine’s residence, in order to insure ‘fect quiet. ee AT 1:30 P.M. The following bulletin was read at the Capitol, dated Mr. Blaine’s residence, 1:30 p. m., and signed by his physician: “ We can only repeat that all expectations are belng rapidly realized. Mr. Blaine has jst taken nourishment, and wants more than is allowed him. Entire group of symp- toms indicate early and complete recovery.” AT TAREE O'CLOCK. Mr. Blaine’s condition was considered to be etill improving. DECISION IN THE Jay CooKe & Co. Bankruptcy Case&.—In the U. S. District Court at Philadelphia yesterday, Jadge Cadwallader gave an opinion ou the appli- cation of Jay Cooke & Co. for their dis- charge from bankruptcy. He said the grounds argued against the discharge were insufficient, and he saw no reason why a discharge should not be granted. At the same time If apy of the creditors should de- Stre to be heard in opposition to discharge he would give them an opportunity to ob- ject. The order, he said, he wor make, pot because he saw any ecogere f ef bene- fit resulting to creditors from specifying ob- Jeetions to the discharge, but because they should have an opportunity to decide for themselves whether to raise the questions formally.

Mr. Biaine,on Saturday afternoon, voted in the affirmative on the passage of the Frost amended sliver coin bill, and appeared about 3 o'clock before the suab-Judiciary Committee. Mr. Joseph B. Stewart, wno cecupied the position of @ recusant witness in the famous Credit Mobelier investigation was to be examined in regard to bonds of the Kansas Pacific Railroad company, aod was already in the witness chair when Mr. Blaine, who bad been sent for by the com- mittee, came in. After greeting Stewart in a friendly manner, be took bis seat at the table beside Mr. Lawrence, of Onto, tae re- ublican member of the sub-committee. His riencs and colleagues, Messrs. Frye and Hale, who had heretofore aided him with their presence, advice and snggestions dur- ing the progress of the case, were absent oa this occasion, haviug goue to Cincinnati. In a languid manner, strangely in coutrast with bis recent bearing before the cot - lee and before the se, he called ti tention of Mr. Hantou,of Virginia, cbatr- man of the sub committee, to that fact, and suggested whether the examination might not be postponed. He represented that nis time was completely engrossed every day, from early morning till midnight In attend- ing to manifold cares which were upov bim. Mr. Hunton recognized the force of the plea for delay, but said that the committee was anxious to proceed with the inquiry. Mr. Blaine remarked that no result could now be reached in time to be of any advantage to him. Mr. Hunton suggested that Mr. Biaine could employ some other friend as counsel, to which Mr. Blaine responded, (shaking his head,) tnathe really did not know whor to ask. Then the wWitcess (Mr. Stewart) pleaded business in New York on Moaday and Tuesday to coutinue the argument of @& case on which he had been engaged when he received the subpeena of the committee. . ally it was ordered by the sub-committee that the adjournment should be Ull Monday , When auotner application for postpaue- ment would be considered. Then Mr. Hunton, addressing himself for- maily to Mr. Blaine, said that he was in- structed by the committee to request the production of the Mailigan letters. “The judiciary committee?” queried Mr. Blaine. “No, the sub-committee,” he was informed by Mr. Hunton. “You know the ground,” sald Mr. Blaine, “ou which I have based my refusal to sur- render them?” Mr. Hanton nodded assen’ Then sald Mr. Biaine,« to vary from that ground. to produce them?” ©I do.” know no reason “You decline Mr Hunton instructed the offictal steno. gropher to read his minutes of this colloquy, In the further course of the proceedi: Mr. Biaine expressed his readiness to p: sent the only one letter which was asserte: to bave any bearingon the inquiry, provi- ded the committee would base its demand for it on that ground, and would not first get it and then demand the others. The com- mittee declined to make any such con¢itioa, and then put the same demand in reference to the Mulligan memorandam. This Mr. Blaine also declined to surrender on ground that if he wereentitled to bis own letters he bad the right to prevent a multi- plication of copies of ther, and that this Mulligan memorandum was in the na ofa multiplication of copies. The com tee then adjourned. MEETING TO-DAY AND POSTPONEMENT. The sub-committee on the Judiciary hav- ing the Blaine investigation in charge, heid a brief meeting this morning, and, after con- sultation, decided to postpose farther in- gation votil M is ab Before the Coaventiou York Papers the To-day, The Cincinnati correspoader New York Tribune says of the OFFICERS OF THE CONVENTION “Very little has been yet said in the organization of the conveutio: Hiaine’s friends are in Q mejority pational committee, and they cont in halfof the states.

The former is of course @ Coukling man, and the latter Mr. Bristow’s next friend.” NEWS OF ME. BLAINE’S ILL CINNATI. INNAT! The N. Y. Herald says: At the newspaper offices the reports re- ceived by the press and by private indl- viduals covered the windows aod bulletin boards and drew together hundreds of read- ers. At the Blaine headquarters, of course, the most intense feeling was exhibited, but even when the first news arrived and many strong men were almost moved to tears, the majority loudly declared their conviction (hat the story was untrwe or was greatly exaggerated, No one appeared to imagine it possible that a man so fall of life and vigor, who had only yesterday proved himsel! ia ‘orce, energy and page f More than @ mateb for @ host, could be suddeniy strack down. One of the Maine delegates, stepping on the ee the midst of the excitement, cried ont: ‘ Gentlemen, our champion and hero is not dead, and will not die until as President he bas done the work commenced by the re- publican party, subdued the last remnant of the rebellion, and given true liberty and perery f to all men and true peace to the Re- puolic.” ‘Then came a dispatch stating that Blaine ned recovered consciousness and was out of all danger, and exhorting his friends not to give credetce to any exaggerated reports. In- slantly the scene was changed to one of almost rejoicing until reflection reminded every @ne that ibe attack itself wasat the best a dangerous one; that a relapse might follow. Then came the most harrowing sus- pense and anxiety to receive the next dis- Patch as to the ex-Speaker’s condition. THE SENATORS WHO LEFT WASHINGTON yesterday in & special car arrived safely this morning, Says &@ New York Times special from Cincinnati. Among them were Sena- tors Jones, of Nevada; Logan, Spencer, Dor- sey and Clayton. Senator Jones has a whole house rented for the Pacific coast crowd.

Several Sevators suggested that on meet- ipg on Thursday the Senate, by general understanding, transact no business and ad- journ to Friday,ou which day the Senate Sits as a court of impeachment.
