FRIDAY April 16, LSS®. CONGRESSIONAL, Conclusion of Yesterday’s Proceed- ings. SENATE.—After our report closed— The Geneva Award bill was taken up and dis- cussed to the hour of adjournment. Mr. Eaton bad read an amendment whieh he Proposed to offer as a substitute for the bill, re- citing that all direct claims had been settled, and that the war debt was largely increased by (hese cruisers inflicting an, indirect loss upon the people, and that, therefore, the remainder of the award with the accretions be id into Syenkng: fund for the reduction of the public edt. Mr. Thurman asked for an understanding that if the Senate held a session on Saturday there be final action on the bill on that day, or if the Senate adjourn over Saturday final action be had on Monday, to which there was no dissent. HOUSE.—after our report closed— The House being in consideration of the In- dian eppropriation bill, an amendment pro- posed by Mr. Ryon, requiring bids for supplies to bé advertised for and opened in the west, Was met with a point of order which provoked discussion, and Which was undecided when the House, at 4:30 p. m., took a recess till 7:30. At the evening Session the House went into committee of the whole on bilis reported fr the Davai committee, and the following bills were passed: Authorizing the President to de- tail an officer of the navy or marine corps to perform the duties of solicitor and judge advo- cate general of the navy; to except from the provisions of section 3617 of the Revised Statutes the proceeds of dockage of private sels at the several navy yards of the United States, The bill provides that the proceeds of dockage shall be turned into the yards to keep the docks in repatr; to establish noe a perma- nent gee d the professorships of modern 1a) guages and of drawing at the naval academ: bills relating to machinists in the navy and to the appointment of professors of mathematics in the navy; bills to regulate the mode of pur- chasing tobacco for the navy by providing for advertisements In the principal tobacco manu- facturing centers of the country. Massachusetts epaslican Conven- tion. EDMUNDS FAVORED, BUT THE DELEGATES U> STRUCTED. After our telegraphic report of the proceed- ings of the Massachusetts republican conven- tion closed yesterday, Gen. Banks, advocating his list of Grant delegates, said: “If the situ: tion was as it was five tion would not be thought best; then the m: morial celebration of the centennial cf the bat- Ue of Bunker Hill showed a scene which had never been seen in this or any other country then 250,000 people welcomed the representa- tives of the southern sections of the countr, and we believe that their professions were hon. est, but we have been led to see differently since that ime, At the close of the war there were sixteen states of this Union that were Virtually outside of the constitution, and within “a tew months ,they have ende ored to steal a state “of New Eng'and, and itis not impossible that a choice may be made between the two sets of electors from that state."” Gen. Banks next considered the method of deciding upon the electoral vote, and predicted that the bill introduced by one of the presidential candidates (Mr. Edmunds) relative to the electoral count would fall to become a law. Gen. Grant is a man not unknown to the Se le. He had led their armies and held the ishest office in the land fortwo terms. He Goes not seek the office, and I may say I am not apartisan. The speaker concluded by saying he had no hesitation in saying that Washing- ton, Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln would have taken a third term had the people of the coun. try_so desired. [ Applause. ] Ex-Governor “Boutwell followed General Banks to second the nomination made by him. He said there are two gentlemen more promi- hently put forward for the chief magistracy than any others. They are General Grant [ap- plause} and Senator Blaine (a subdued whistle.) hree-fourths of the delegates to assemble at Chicago, Senator Hoar had said in a letter, will be in lavor of General Grant or Senator Blaine. The only thing remaining to Massachusetts 1s a choice between these two. [Cries of “doubted.”) ‘The name of Mr. Edmunds carries no enthusi- asm in the south, intellectual as he is. [Ap- plause.] He would fall to poop jeer the things Unat are needed—amelioration of the condition of the colored people of the south. I believe that all our interests are bound up in the nomi- nation of General Grant, and that if he is nomt- nated, as I am confident, he will be triumph- antly elected.” (Applause. } Rey. James Freeman Clark followed, taking exception to some of the statements of ex-Gov. Boutwell, and speaking against both Blaine and Grant. He did not believe a revolution was im- Pending. Geo. L. Ruffin, of Boston, argued in favor of Grant, and said if he was nominated the negroes of the south would vote for hifa if they had to wade through seas of blood. Mr. Boutwell then offered a resolutio hat the republican party of Massachusetts, by its delegates in convention assembled, hereby tend- ers to the republican party of the country that the candidates who may be nominated at Chica- go in June next for President and Vice President of the United States shall receive the cordial and earnest support of the republican party of this commonwealth.” The resolution was referred, without debate, to the committee on resolu- : , Sanford and Seelye were elected delegates at large to the Chicago convention, and Messrs. Stonelarker, Allen and Bishop alternates. A platforin was adopted containing the usual declarations, and closing as follow: “The duty of all republicans loyaily to support the candidates of the party, and the duty of nomi- nating conventions to present candidates who are acceptable to all republicans are reciprocal duties of equal force and obligation. Pro- Ttoundly sensible of the importance of the im- pending election to the nation’s safety, honor and well-being. the republicans of Massachusetts cemand of their delegates to the national con- vention that they use all proper efforts for the nomination of a candidate who, having the requisite qualifications for the high office of President, will also have the confidence and ap- proval of all who have hitherto acted with the republican party, who will invite the sup- port of other patriotic eltizens desiring good government more than party success, whose nomination will be most expedient, because most worthy and least objectionable, and whose triumphant election, to which we ‘pledge our hearty and united efforts, will give assurance of the continuance of sound and beneficient poli- cles of administration, and of uninterrupted weal ana growing national prosperity. Wale we do not instruct our delegates, we commend to their consideration a republican statesman who possesses in an eminent degree such quall- Ues and requisites for the nomination—the Hoo. George F. Edmunds, of Vermont.” Ad- journed. THE New Oyster Law.—By the limitation of the oyster law of the session of 1550, which took effect from the date of tts pass nd was ap- proved April 10, dredging ce: in the waters of Maryland April 1, and though the licenses is- sued cover the period of one year, the business of taking oysters with scoop, di or similar apparatus may not be resumed until October 15, ‘The penalty for violations of the law to regu- late dredging is a fine of $50 to $200, or impris- onment in the house of correction three months to three years, on any person violating the law, and on the vessel the penalty of $50 to $300 fine. As taking oysters by any means whatever is prohibited between April 15 and September 1, the oyster catching business in Maryland wa- ters is now wholly suspended. The penalty for tonging between April 15 and September 1 is a fine of $50 to $200, or Imprisonment in the house of correction three months to three years. Some further prohibitory and penal provisions of the act are intended to prevent catching oysters on Sunday or at night, or carrying them in the shell beyond the limits of the state between ae 1 and September i. The penalty for violations of these regulations ts a fine of $59 to $500, or confinement in the house of correc- tion three months to three years, or forfeiture of the boat, vessel er canoe, in the discre- ton of the judge or justice trying the case. The fourteenth section ts in effect that durin; the months of May, June, July, August an two weeks of April no oyster tongmen shall catch more than five bushels of oysters a day, and that these shail be solely for private con- sumption or sale in the neighborhood where they have been caught, for replant or bed- ding neighboring waters belonging to the coun- ty whence the oysterman derives his license ples The failure of the state of Virginia approve the Potomac river oyster law this ear makes the Maryland act, as regards the tomac, inoperative for the present. This law Proposes: — oyster dredging in Poto- Mac water during the spawning season.
