THE PESNSYLVANIA AVENUE PAVING BILL.— When the bill to repave Pennsylva- nia avenue came to be enroiled it was found that there were several important but unin- tentional omissions which would be fatal to the bill. Today a@ resolution passed both Houses authorizing the conference commit- tee to correct thelr report. The bill will therefore go the President this afternoon ior his signature. THE PROSPECT for an arrangement on the army bill is exceedingly discouraging. Tne Senate managers thus far refuse to yield to the House changes. Tney have proposed, however, that a commission be appointet to sit during the recess and take into coasider- ation the question of reorganization. Toe House, however, declines to accept the prop- osition. The probabilities are that the pres- ent Congress will fail to agree. THE SILVER BILL passed by the House enacts that the trade dollar shall hereafter be a legal tender, and provides fur tha issue of fifty million of subsidiary coin. The Secre- tary of the Treasury is authorized, at his discretion, to u: part of the sinking fund t» purchase silver coin bullion for coinage. Toe propositisn to retire backs as sil- ver ecin is issued and to increase the legal tender limit of silver coin from five totwenty dollars was rejected in conference.

The committee agreed authorize the Secretary of the Treasury to reserve, for one year only, out Of the reve- Dues of the District, a sum sufficient tomeet the interest on the three sixty-five bonds for the fiseal year ending Jund 30, 1877. The committee further agreed to increase the Sppropriation for the Baard of Health from $15,290 to $16,680. ARMY ORDERS—.The resignation of Cap tain Heintzieman, assistant quartermaster, of his commission as Ist lieutenant 3d artil- lery, only has been accepted by the Presi- dept, to take effect June 30, 1576. Colonel Galusha Penpypacker, lth infantry, is as. signed to duty according to his commission of brevet major general while temporarily in command of the department of the south. Acourt martial will meet at West Point, N. Y., on the 18th inst , for the trial of Pri- vateJobn Bannon, U. 8. Military Academy, detachment of artt ery. A general court tmartial will meet at Willett’s Point, New York barbor, on 18th July, for trial of first class Private E. T. Blackwell, company B, battalion of engineers. The extension of leave of ce granted First Lieutenant EF, Rheem it infantry. (Fort Boise, Idaho ter- ritory,) is further extended three months. Leavegranted First Lieutenant S. H. Lin- calus, 10th infantry, (Fort Concho, Texas,) is extended three mouths. THE PROSPECT Now IS that the Senate and House conference managers will come to come understanding on the legislative ap- propriation bill very soou. The Senate man- agers, at the meeting this morning, receded from the Morrill basis of compromise, to eilow the heads of departments discretion- *ry powers to recommend a deficiency ap- propriation If the service of the government should be impaired by the res}; tion of the more valuable employees, owing to the reduction of salary, and & basis was agreed upon that the sums appropriated shouid be to full compensation for the objects ex- pressed. The Senate managers ludicate a Gesire to agree to the proposition to have ap- pointed a commission of two members from each house to sit during the recess and tn- quire into the sabj-ct of official salaries, and report on the first Monday in December next. it is alse believed that the Senate will agree to the House reduction in force. and tue House yield the reductions in salaries. ENGLAND'S ATTITUDE ON THE EXTRA- DITION QUESTION.—Earl Derby's note of June 30 to Secretary Fish is published. Earl Derby In bis note says: “The essential prin- ciples of extradition as practiced by Eng- Jand are that @ person surrend: tradition treaty cap be tried on no offence except the one for which he is surrendered.

Editor of The Star.—81R : I well remember the incident mentioned in your edition of yesterday in General Custer’s cavalier con- duct before bis engagement with the squad- rovs under the command of General Rosser. I happened at the time to be serving on tem- porary staff duty with Rosser, and recollect seeing Custer ride out far to the front of his troops in gallent style,with his King Charies hat and enormous plume, and << aimost within pistol range of Roser, who stood surrounded by his staf’ watching him intently, waived bim a most graceful salute. Custer then rode back to his command, aad whirling bis sabre in the air, ordered the charge. We were compelled to retire against repeated impetuous charges. Niae istinet attacks, [ think, were made before our Jine was broken. But when broken, aad Caster got in mene our men with the savers of the 6th U. 8. regulars, there was no raliy- ing them, and the retreat became a rout. Even Rosser, with all bis coolness aad dauntless courage, at length gave up the task and slowly retired, guarded by his favorite regiment, the 5th Virginia cavairy. I know much of the almost David aud Jon- athan friendship which existed between Custer and . They were chums and constant companions at West Polat, and Unis personal attachment never ceas: 1 up to the day of the hero's death. Rosser, thoagh usually taciturn, would in camp always brighten up when Custer’s name was m sa- Uoned, and he never was in a better mood than when relating be.ore the bivouiac fire some wild prauk in which he aod Custer were engaged at tne Point. Woen Lee was holding the liae of the Repi- dan against Meade in the fail of 1863, a(ier the battle of Gettysburg, an advance was made by the confederates along the whole, and Meade, refusing to give battle fell oxck to Centrevitle. In this advance movement there was little or no fighting by the infan- try, but very severe engagements by the cavairy on the flanks. Oa the left flank of the federal army was Pleasanton with Ca ter. The troops opposing this forcs were under Jeb. Stuart and Fitz Lee, whom Cus- ter humorously; wrote Roeser be had waipped at Chantilly. At Brandy Station, Pleasan- ton, after retreating slowly all day, mate Stand and there was very sbarp and stib- born fighting the entire dav. In a chrge made directly at the station upon a light battery that was cutting up our men with shrapnel very severely, | was unluck: enough to be cut off from my commund, and Roped my misfortune too late to remedy it, I put spurs to my horse and gal- d through mistake directly Into the ranks of @ squad from & regiment whose Boos were made up of deserters from the Coniederate army. I was treated outrage- ously, literally stripped of everything, and Was about to be shot when Gen. Custer rode Up with his staff and body guard. Seeing bim in his gaudy hussar jacket, wiun the Avstrian knot of rank on the arm, I sup- him one of our officers and hailed hin. le came up to me and seeing my pi'ifal condition, and being tnformed that my cap- tors had threa’ to shoot me called nis orderly, saying: “Here, orderly; this man is @ fellow-being and not a brute; hayenim pat under guard at beadquarters,” and tion, turning to an aid, he said, “Pat those men under arrest.” I remained under gnari at Custer’s headquarters during the whols of the retreat, and was treated most nobly and kind!ty by the General and all around him. When be discovered that I knew Rosser well and bad served with him,he sent for me, aod never seemed to tire of interroz«t ing me regarding his great friend. I never met @ man 80 young who to my mind bore the stamp of the hero so visibly impressed on his countenance; and though daring and dreadful In the charge, and in the heat of tae combat almost merciless, his mild, geut'e, kindly manner to me when the fight was over plainly shows what a vastamoant of human kindness beat beneath that brave dragoon’s breast. To him I owed my life while still an enemy, and to his memory I bumbly add my testimony to those vovle altributes which tho no have ever met him knew he possessed to soremarkable 4 i> erce.

A Row In TAMMaNy HALL.—Tammany Hall general committee met last night, Ad- gustas Schell presiding, and a lively time ensued.

An amendment was offered, that the committee have unabated confidence in Joho Kelly, and are confiient ot marching to victory under his —— This provoked excited discussion. Peter B. Olney, A. B.

One sees at a distance adeaa horse lying on the plain or near the river, aod upou a near approach the gleaming white skin of a naked cavalry soldier, the body ent and ee beyond description, is brought into view. A SCOUT'S STORY OF THE MASSACRE A Crow scout (Curly) who stayed uatil he saw that the last man must be Killed, saw & Sioux jump off his horse to fluish a wounded officer, and, taking the Sioux blanket aad horse, effected his escape. Frora ais deser: p- Hon of the massacre, Lieut. “ook was the last man left, and he says that the white men killed of the Sioux more than their own number. There is every evidence of a des- = fight, but Custer was outnumbered fteen to one. The fight could not have lasted over two or three hours. The Ind!an says that Custet’s columno moved forward to cross the ford into the village nd, being met by a large force of Indiaus. mounted and gave thema volley. By this time another force came in their rear, completely he:n- ming them in. He(Custer) then retreated by the right flank to the topofanill, where the desperate fighting took place. THE SCOUTS WHO WERE KILLED. A correspondent of the N. Y. Times writes: This deprivation of water was a terrivie misfortune to the troops. Trere are may terrible incidents given, but I forbear writ ing them until I can reach the ground or learp with accuracy. There were five tribes reported as engaged tn the action—the Unka- papas, Ogaliailas, Sans-Ares, Minnecon} ns, and Cheyennes. ‘Bioody Kuife,” one of the best Indian scouts in the army, was ki!led the firstday. Frederick Girard, interprater at Fort Lincoln, and Charley Reynolis, [ mapweenged the best-known scout aud hunter in the western country, were Killed at tne same time. Gerard was well known and well hated by the Sioux. Several years since he defended Fort Berthold aimost alone against a strong attack made by the Sioux on Christmas Eve. He bad a sion of the block-house, and on that ooca- lon and at other times he is said to have Killed about twenty Indians. Reynolds has also been in many Indian fights; in the bot- test excitement of batile he would Koeel, arm, and give his deadly fire with more coolness and severity than most men would display on the perade ground.

THE VALLEY OF DRATH. Correspondence of the N. Y. Tribune savs: Ov Tuesday, June 27, clouds of smoke bung in front of us. The command hastencd on and soon entered a beautiful platnover thre miles long. On the east was a line of bluffs; on the west was the Little Big Horn, b'ufls beyond it. Two tepees were still stand- ing, and in them lay nine Indian ehlefs witt: thelr dead harses close by. As we advaaced hundreds and hundreds of tepee poles cold be counted. Buffalo robes, cookiag uteasils, clothing, and tools of ail kinds had peen abandoned tn hot haste. There was no time to peer about and take notes. Tnere might be serious work for us todo. The shadow of @ great Lpentge f had already fallen upon us. As we drew rein for a moment we noticed some United States regulation saddles of the pew pattern. Some one picked up a biood-stained glove—it had beeu worn by Yates. And close by were the riddled clothes of Porter and Sturgis. A moment more and we were aghast with horror, Two hundred of our cavalrymen lay dead in the ravines andon the binuffs on the right bank of the river. Bradley had gone to the front a a counted them, and now brought us the news. The Crow scouts had not lied to us. It was the awfal truth. Faces paled,eyes mois- tened, teeth were set. THE RESCUE. An advance was now orderel. At every step we found tokens of the dreadfal c+ nage. Here was brave Mclutosh; here ': isalah, our negro scout; ciose by Char Reynolds, the chief scont, had bravely ine’ his fate; and here, close together, were ‘he bodies of our cavalrymen and their horses. A&s we were supping on these horrors and asking ourselves whether any one hai been left to describe the fate of the regimeut. Lieutenants Wallace and Hall drew near and informed us that the survivors of seven companies under Reno and Benteen were in- trenched on the east bluff of the ridge at the preg the plain, on the right bank of the river, «Where is Custer?” cried a dozen voice:. “He left us Sunday morning with tive les, and we have heard nothing fron Our commander with a small escort foried the stream, and sot nee almost perpen. dicular bluffs joined 0’ force. He was greeted with cheer Le ps cheer. Stont-hea: ted soldiers who had not filnched in the hour of peril now wept like children, and smiles re- turned to the wan faces of the wounded men. The Indians had retreated when they siw our line of infantry approaching. We had rescued these despairing soldiers. AN ARMY OFFICER'S VIEW. An army officer in Corte Horn expadi- tion wrote a letter to @ friend in Boston, while on the march, a few days prior to tne vag pang) of Custer’s command, and from it the Berald, of that city, copies as follows: — “{ think this will be @ very long and very lresome campaign. I doubt if we see our posts again before fall, if then. Thescarc!t: of water adds much to our difficulties, and think the country generally much worse than Arizona, the only growth for miles be- ing the irrepressiole cactus. The Indians are very strong in numbers and spiendidiy arm- ed, and they boast that they can and will clean out Sa that the United States can send against them. Spotted Tail pre. tends to be friendly, and on the strength of it he goes to Cheyenne, buys 12.000 rou of ammunition, and returns to the agency wits it. The following dey a fresh party ef in. dians starts out fally equipped. Of the wis- dom allowing this proceeding I say nothing. He was in Cheyenne when we were there on onr march up. He picks up all the information he can get concerning our movements, and forwards it to his friends. If this sortof thirg continues, you can judge how successful we shall be.” MR. BEECHER'S ANSWER.—Mr. Beecher’s counsel expect to send an answer to Francis D. Moulton’s compiaint in his suit for dam- ages malicious prosecution, within the allotted twenty days, which expires this week.

Fray, July 14. SENATE.—The House joint resolution correcting the report of the conference com- mitice on the repavement of Peunsylvania avenue, was taken up and passed § Mr. Sherman, from the conference com- mittee on the silver bill, submitted a report. Mr. Bogy said he had ued the report, althongh it did notaceomplish what he de- sired, which was to make silver @ legai ten- der for all amounts and receivable for all obligations except for customs duties and interest on the public debt, not that he did not believe those were legally payable in s!l- — ~~ he would concede that for the sake of policy. r. Jones (Nev) thought the bill no im- Provement on the present system, but cal- cmlated, if not to increase the bonded dept, to take moneydrom the sinking fund that Would decrease the bonded debt, and to give a depreciated currency to the poorer classes. The report was concurred in without divi- sion. Mr. Conkling presented a petition of citi- zens of New York praying legislation amendatory of the shipping act. Also, a like petition from ship owners and shipping merchants of New York; both of which were referred to the Committee on Commerce. On motion of Mr. Hamlin, it was onlered that the legislative session of tne Senate commence at 11 @ m. until farther ordered. The impeachment trial was then resumed and the journal read. A statement from the Sargeant at arms read, to the eflect that one of his officers bad rellabie information from Evans, aad thathe would probably be in Washing.on on Tuesday bext. On motion of Mr. Sherman the court, att p-m. adjourned to Monday, and legislative business was resumed. Mr. Sherman, from the Committee on Fi- nance reportei House joint resolution to amend the act of June 13, 1874, relative to the admission Of articles intended for ths In- ternational exhibitica of 1885, and it was Mr. Ferry, from the Committee on Rules, submitted & report, embracing 4 revision of the rules. Ordered printed. Mr. Windom called up the bill for the completion of the Washington monument, pending the consideration of waich the morning hour expired and the bill weat over. The Senate then resumed the considera‘ion of the BIVER AND HARBOR APPROPRIATION BILL When the state of Virginia was reached, Mr. Withers said he had sustained the amendments proposed by the committee untilthe Senate had shown itself opposed by the action of the committee, and that be now asked the same measure be meted out to Old Virginia that had been meted out to other states. He asked that the several items for Virginia struck out by the com- mittee be retuserted, and the amendments non- concurred in. Mr. Gordon said there was so manifest a disposition to reverse the action of the committee, and to save time he would move to now concur in all the amendments strik- mgt s /propriations. r. Windom said the motion was are markable one, yet he was not prepared to say he would oppose it. The bill, he said, was itselfa remarkable one, it came from the House with a title embracing the words, “and for other purposes.” Tnoese words should, he said, be stricken out, and the words ‘and for the removal of obstructions to political preferment.” Mr. Whyte sald the committee had devo- ted much time and atteation to the coasid- eratiou of the bill, and he protested against Ubrowing aside the work of the committee in this sammary way. Mr. Ferry said that he had acted on each amendment according to his best judgment ip each case voting to sustain or reject the action of the committee. Mr. Windom defended the action of the committee, and condemned the general sys- tem on which the river aud harbor bills were drawn. The amounts appropriated were so small and £0 scattered that nearly all the money appropriated eaca year was ¢x- nded In getting ready to go to work. le supposed @ case where thirty or forty thonsand dollars would complete the work, if expended in one year, while two or three times that amount would be requirei if there were but five or ten thousand doliars es annually. Each contractor, not being sure of the contract tne next year, in- cluded the whole cost of preparation in each contract. The Chair ruled that the motion could only be entertained by unauimous consent, ani he construed the remarks of the Senator from Maryland as an objection. The consideration of the bill by paragraphs Was therefore resumed. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.— Mr. Williams (Del.), from Committee on Naval Affairs, reported a joint resolution in rela- Uon to the wreck of the U. 8. monitor Te- cumseh. The resolution sets forth that the sald monitor was sunk in Mobile bay with all on board; that the traceofsaid wreck has been ascertained and marked with @ buoy, so that it is notan obstruction to naviga- tion; that under a law of 1570 the said wreck bt sold by Mr. Richardson, late Secretary re recommend the adop tion of @ resolution airecting the Secretary of the Navy to take such measures as wiil secure the removal of the bodies of the offi- cers and men before the wreck is broken up, and if the purchaser will not remove them the amount be ago for the wreck is to be tendered him, with legal interest.

This would have worked ail right, as Reno bad got ‘n thelr rear; but General Custer, marching down on the other side, saw what he supposed was the front of the camp, and made @ charge on them, the Indians giving Way and letting bim right in the gap. Tne brave man rode in with his three hundred men, &ud would have killed the whole two thousand Sioux, I believe, if there had been no enemy behind him. But, instead of charg. ing the it, he was right in the center of between three thousand four thousand Sioux. Thore that were behind him kept concealed until he was right in their midst, and then, when it was too late, he made a boid dash, trying to cut th: gh them. But theenemy were too many. He fell, about tne first one, and, the horses becomiug uoman- ageable, the poor soldiers were cut dowa in less time than it takes to tell it. THE ATTACK ON RENO.

TERRY OVER CUSTER’S BODY. Iwas standing by General Custer when Generali Terry came up, aud as he looked dcwn upon the noble general the tears coursed down his face as he said: “The flower of the army Is gone at last.” Custer Was tapposed to be the firstone who died, but though he fell first we found seventeen cartridge sheils by bis side where he bad kept them off until the last moment.
