Tue ButTLER-Corprn ConTEST.—The Senate committee on privileges and elections to-day agreed to postpone a report in the But'er-Cor- bin South Carolina contested election case until next December. Mr. Cameron has pared his ma ty report in favor of Corbin’s right to the n the Senate now occupied by Gen. Butler. Senator Hill has not prepared his ity report. The whole object of 1g a Majority report in favor of Corbin is said to be to enable him to secure pay asa Senator during the time of his contest. AL LipRary BurLprG.— Much surprise is expressed at the a the Senate committee on appropri reference to the new Congressional library scheme. The library commission agreed upon Judiciary Square forthe site of the new build- ing, and recommended to be inserted in the sundry eivil bill an appropriation of $150,000 to begin the construction of a foundation for the building. The Senate committee has inserted in the sundry eivil bill Dawes and Morrill’s proposition authorizing the Seeretary of the nterior to ascertain what would be the cost of land, either through direct purchase from Ss or condemnation for public use ad- joining the Capitol grounds on the north, and south sides of the Capitol for a sit proposed library building. ‘This provision of he bill, if adopted, will simply indefinitely de- jay an improvement which is needed immedi- Two years time will be required to go through the legal steps of condemning public ands necessary for the building. Several real estate owners on the north side of the Capitol" grounds, are chiefly interested in securing the new building near the Capitol. The Secretary of the Interior can give Con- gress no more information at the next session than he has already given the library coin- mission. An appropriation to. begin the cou- struction of a new library building som> where, should be made at once.

The bill precludes the appointment ot any cadet midshipman at large for three or four years.

THE PRESIDENT AND CAMPAIGN CONTRIBU- TIONS BY CLERKS.—The President has in- formed the members of the cabinet, with re- gard to the matter of contributions to the cam- paign funds and assessments for political pur- poses, that he desires the letter addi by Secretary Schurz to one of hisclerks upon that subject to be considered as embodying his own opinions, and the rule governing the ad- ministration in its different branches.

Proceedings of the Potter Committee After our report of the proceedings before the Potter investigating committee closed Sat- urday, Ex-Congressman Darrall was recalled y Mr. Potter, who asked him where he was in siana when the visiting statesmen came 9 New Ovleans, and_he replied that he lived eighty miles west of New Orleans, and visited the city once on twice and stayed one or two our. He was not sent for, but remembered going up and seeing Mr. Hale and one or two others : some of them had left ; Governor Noyes had gone across to Florida. He was askeil if he had any conversation with them about the election, and said possibly he had, although no.hing that was fixed in his mind. Q. Were you requested to confer with any of the gentlemen of the returning board? A. 1 think T was asked the qaestion whether I thought the members of the returning board would be intimidated by the threats, or stand firm and resist any offers of purehase; I did not hunt up any of the members of the return- ing board while I was there, or see them. Q. You left them to stand firm without you? A. Yes, sir. TO-DAY'’S PROCEEDINGS. The committee met at 10 o'clock this morn- ing and cross-examined H. C. Clark, who was examined in chief on Saturday. He was inter- rogated mainly to ascertain what he knew about the forged Louisiana return. He de- nied that he knew that any of the names were forged to the third certificate, admitting, how ever that the electors were not present, all at the same time, when the third certificate was signed. The third certificate was made out because Gen. T. C. Anderson had returned with one of the set of certificates, and said that the President of the Senate had declined to receive it because it was not certified to on the face of the envelope The committee at 11 o'clock adjourned to Wednesday more at 19 o'clock. The testimony of the witness H. C. Clark. of Louisiana, given on Saturday before the com- mittee, was to the effect that the Secretary of State and not Governor Kellogg a! d the seal of the State of Louisiana to the third set of electoral certificates. THE ADJOURNMENT QvUESTION.—Up to a quarter past 2 o'clock to-day, and with the prospect of its holding its place up to the hour of recess, the House was engaged in the con- sideration of the internal revenue Dill. It is violently opposed by the eastern republicans and some democrats on account of the r tion of the tax on tobacco from twenty sixteen cents a pound: Mr. Burehard, of Tili- nois, Who had charge of the bill, to day aban- doued it, and moved to lay iton the table. but did not get a majority of the House with him. The enemies of the bill then offered all kinds of amendments, and the impression seemed to be that the bill was being used to be kept be- fore the House to preven going to business on the Speaker's table, where a number of jobs are ,waiting to see light. The sun- dry “civil ~ appropriaton “bill “was re- ported to the Senate at 1:40 o'clock. it will be late in the afternoon re if will be passed, and it be late to night. The outlook for a it at 4 o'clock to- morrow is not at promissing. The interual revenue billin the House blocks all legisla tion, and the enemies of it have hopes that b>- cause of this fact its frends ma bandon it, but they seem determined to fo There is one bill on the Speake able which President Hayes has threatened to call Con- fe sin extra session if it is not passed, that is he bill to pay the fishery awards.

THE Ciance is made that Mrs. Jenks, the female witness, is not called before Porter's committee because she will give testimony controverting and contradicting the witness Anderson. THE MARRIAGE of ex-Goyernor Swann to the widow of the late Hon. W. R. Thompson, of New Jersey, takes place at Princeton next Thursday. The bride is the sister of Speaker Randall's wife. Governor Swann, in antici- pation of the event, on Saturday asked and obtained leave of absence for six days. Tue U. 8. S. TALLapoosa left the New York navy yard Saturday for Annapolis, Md. Work OF CONGRESS SATURDAY AFTER NOON.—Both houses of Congress on Saturday passed a resolution extending the time for final adjournment from 12 m. to-day until four o'clock to-morrow afternoon. The conference report on the river and harbor appropriation d rates $3,361 1,000. se i ing the pen- sion of Gen. James Shields to $10) per month. In the House, Mr. Knott, chairman of the ju- diciary committee, presented his views in op. sition to the adverse report on the Kimmel ill und the resolution of the Maryland legis- lature on the subject of the Presidential eiec- tion. Most of the session was spent in discuss- ing the internal revenue bill, and an amend- ment to establish an income tax was voted down—yeas 4, nays 139. Many of the demo- erats who otherwise would have voted for the proposition voted against it, fouing that it would imperil the passage of the bill. Four HunDRED More FIGHTING INDIANS ON THE WakPATH.—The Commissioner of In- dian Affairs has received the following dis- patch from Agent Rinehart, now at Baker ity, Oregon: “A messenger has just arrived from Camp Harney, and reports Cnief Eavan, with four hundred’ Indians, at Barren vailey, fifty miles south of Molheur agency. He says that he don’t want to ta’k, but wants to fight. He was having a scalp dance when the mes- Songer arrived at this camp. The Indiavs made him (the messenger) return to Harney, and would not let him go by the agency. Sev- eral whites have been Killed.” OFFICIAL ADVERTISEMENTS.—The following amendment has been incorporated in the sun- dry civil appropriation bill by the Senate com- mittee on appropriations: ‘ Hereafter all ad- vertisements, notices, proposals for contracts, and all forms of advertising required by law for the several departments of the government may be paid for at a price not to exceed the commercial rates charged to private individ- uals, with the usual discounts, such rates to be ascertained from sworn statements to be fur- nished by the proprietors or publishers of the newspapers proposing so to advertise.”” THE Exopvs TO EvRoPE.—Four steamships sailed from New York for Europe on Satur- day—the Germanic and England for Liver- pool, the Donau for Bremen, and the Victoria ‘or Glasgow. The cabin passengers aggre gated about six hundred. Among the pas- sengers on the Germanic were Mr. John W. Garrett, Mrs. Garrett and Miss Garrett of Baltimore, Bishops Littlejohn, Scarborough, Clarkson and Howe, Miss Clara Louise Ki logg, Frederick W. Vanderbilt, Mrs. H. C. Re ae Pe saa Ex-Gov. Cham- riain and Mme. Modjeska were passengers on the England. Two Bors KILLED.—Two colored bo: aged respectively twelve and ten years, the sons of John Rufiln, came to their death, ‘Sat- urday afternoon, on a trestle bridge’ over Blackwater river, on the Norfolk and Peters. burk railroad, near Petersburg, Va. The: The District Nominations. THE TWO CIVIL COMMISSIONERS. The following nominations of Distriet Com- missioners were sent by the President to the Senate to-day; Josiah Dent and S. L. Phelps. Matthias V. Buckey is nominated for justice of the peace in Georgetown. THE ENGINEER COMMISSIONER. The engineer officer of the army to serve as | the other Commissioner under the new law has not yet been designated. It not being a nomination requiring confirmation by tbe Senate, it has been decided to postpone the detailing of such an officer uniil after the adjournment of Congress. From the b authority on the subject, Tue Ss of last Saturday stated that © nel Casey would be’ the officer. Since then Col. Casey has deciined to serve. This leaves the field open, but the choice considered among those besi informed to have narrowed down to Cols. O. M. Poe and H. G. Wright. It is thought that one of these bate be designated, c with the chances in fav Appropriations of District Interest. The Senate committee on appropriations finished its revision of the sundry civil appro- priation bill to-day. The following items of District interest have been inserted in the bill:—For building laundry, Columbia hospital for women and _lying-in asylum, #2, ‘0 T expend $10,000 in’ payment for the building | already erected by board of directors of the Children’s hospital. Also, to expend not ex- ceeding $48,000 for purchase of two additional | fire engines and one hook and ladder truck, with buildings and equipments complete. The appropriation for the reform school is in- | ased from $10,000 to $12,000, The House on providing for the reduction of policemen’s laries in the District is stricken out. Th clause providing for a District bureau of chai ties is stricken out. The Secretary of the Tre; y isauthorized to pay $275,000 for the edman’s Savings Bank property, on Penn- ylvania avenue. between Lth and 1514 streets, and to expend 35,000 to build a Court of Claims chamber in the building. The Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to expend $300,000 to | buiid a ‘fire-proof buil’"ag for the bureau of engraving and printing on the corner of 1ith and south B streets, and to pay $27,536 for the site of the building. Continuing construction north wing of the Stare. War and Navy de- artment building, $400,000, The unexpended alance of #2455 for the statue of Gen. Thomas is to be_applied to finishing pedestal and statue. The Secretary of the Interior is au- thorized to ascertain the probable cost of a site for a new Congressional lib buildin, on Capitol Hill, easi of the Capitol. The House section author! ig the Washin company to charge the government #2 per thousand cubic feet for gas is stricken from the bill, To purchase an additional water tank, pipes and steam pump for the Senate wing of the Capitol, $3,000. The District in Congress. Mr. Rollins was instructed by the Senate committee on the District of Columbia this morning to revort adversely a bill in relation to paying the avenues, streets and alleys of Washingcon. 7 The Senate has passed the bill to prevent the sale of oleogmarverine in the District, and it is now on the House eaiendar, but with hardly any chance of being acted upon this session. THE NOMINATIONS FOR JUSTICES. The Senate committee on District of Colum- bia met this morning and considered the nominations for justices of the peace of the District. The clerk of the committee was sent to the Attorney General's office after the original paperson which the nominations were made. He also visited the District Commis sionersand District Attorney Riddle to obtain their opinions upon the nominations. Another meeting of the committee will be held this afternoon, at which the nominations will be acted upon. It is likely that an adverse report will be made upon three or four of the justices, who are objectionable to the Commissioners and the District Attorney. It is not likely that the committee will meet until the nominations for District Commissioners are sent to the Capitol. Later.—The Senate District committee this afternoon reported adversely on the nomina tions of Wailand Weaver. WHat MINISTER NOYES Says ABOUT THE FLORIDA INVESTIGATION.—Hon. Benjamin Noyes, United States minister to France, ai rived in New York city yesterday morning, by steamer City of Richmond, and was driven to Fifth Avenue Hotel. In conversation with a representative of the Associated Press touching the matter that brought him back to his native land at this time Minister Noyes said: “I went to Florida for no purpose on earth except to ascertain the vote of the state and tosee whether or not the popular vote had been cast for republican electors. stated to the two republican members of the canvassing board that all we wanted was an honest decision. I never made any promise to McLin or any other member of the board, nor did I suggest any possible reward or recognition in case Governor Hayes should be finally elected; and_so far as MeLin is coa- cerned, I never saw him alone one mome my life before the vote of Florida had been cast. Tam now informed for the first time that even MeLin does not say that I made him any pro- mise. Had I known that before leaving ‘is Ishould not have demanded a subpiena, but should have remained in France to atiend to my public duties. Ido not care to be more specific, as it would perhaps be in bad taste, considering that I am so soon to give my sworn statement to the committee.” Minister Noyes also expressed the hope that every politician in the north, whether democrat or republican, would be subpwenaed who had visited Florida on this bu: be only fair to all parties concerned or inter- ested in the matter. It was certainly due to him since he had been so conspicuously named in the preamble of Mr. Potter's resoli tion. Minister Noyes left for Washingion by the express train this morning. Masor E. A. BuRKE will shortly go hence to Washington (rather reluctantly, I imagine) to tell Potier (and B. F. B.) what he knows about fraud and the “ Wormley Conference. Your correspondent will supply your readers with Burke’s record simultaneously with his arrival at the capital. Itmakesspiey reading. (Chicago Inter-Ocean. Tue EorHen DELAYED.—The departure of the Eothen, which has been selected to carr: the Arctic expedition in search of the relics of Sir John Franklin's expedition, which was announced to take place to-day, has been un- avoidably postponed. Mr. Jolin Morrison, the originator of the expedition, stated to a New York Commercial reporter Saturday that Lieut. Schwatka, the captain of the ship, was now ill, and it was not certain whether he would accompany the expedition. The Eothen has received her supplies, and was Saturday afternoon towed out into the East river. She is now lying at the foot of Beekman street, fast priser and will probably leave some time THE Paris Races.—Kight horses ran yes- terday for the grand prize race at Paris, and attracted a large and brilliant crowd. Prince Soltykoff’s Thurio won by a neck.

The socialists in Chicago held their picnic according to programme yesterday, but it was perfectly orderly and veaceable. ‘The proces- Sion numbered from 2,50) to 3,000. But few arms were carried, and the police were not called on to interfere. Workingmen in every part of the city express confidence that no serious trouble will occur this year among the labor organizations. in COLOR Wak AMONG MINERS.—At Coal Creek, Ind., on Saturday, John Kelly, an ex-miner, shot and mortally wounded Thomas Minns, a colored miner, and wounded two others.
