JUSTICE TO GOVERNMENT ExrLoyEgs.—Stren- uous efforts are being made by several ladies— who will not personally be benefited by its pas- sage—to have a billor resolution passed by Congress which will ensure tke employes of the Treasury printing bureau their proper pay for the time they are furloughed en account of the removal into the new building. All members ot Congress approached thus far have promised to Vote for the bill if it can be introduced 1a the burry of the closing session. ‘THE 137H INFANTRY has been ordered trans- ferred for duty from the department of the south to the department of the Missouri, and will pro- ceed by detachments from the-several posts now cceupied by it to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and report to the department commander. THE SPANISH FIRING ON AMERICAN VESSELS.— ‘The depaiiment of State has taken steps in- quiring into the recent firing upon American vessels by Spanish cruisers, The Spanish lega- tion nere hes been approached on the subject. Secretary Evarts will get all the facts In the recent occurrences on the bigh seas before tak- ting any definite steps. The aiidavits of the captains of the American vessels interfered With are being procured in full. Drovenut in BELGiv: "ne consul of the U. S. at Verviers states that the drought which has prevatled throughout Belgium during the month of May, argues serious results to the agricul- tural Interests of the kingdom. At the date of bis dispatch, May 27, the drought bd prevatied for tour weeks, an ‘extraordinary duration for that country, where the rainfall ts very great, cially during the month fn question. The hay crop Is an utter failure, and every branch of agricultural industry ts affected. Farmers have to carry their cattle to market, through the lack of forage, where they are forced to sell at rula- ous prices. ‘These farmers are very poor. They make barely enough during the summer to maintain them through the winter, aad a most gloomy prospect consequently awaits them. Last Hours OF CONGRESE.—AS we go to press there is no doubt of the adjournment of Con- gress at the hour fixed—noon to-morrow. The lobbies of the Senate and House were crowded to-day with anxious persons of both sexes, All of them were interested in some bill which they were working to get through. All the conter- ence reports have been submitted and the work of Con, was being pushed forward with a Tush. It 1s expected that both houses will have P'ght sessions to-night, though af the rate bills were sso | disposed of to-day the evening ses- sions need not continue very late. Promorep.--The President to-day sent to the Senate the nominations of several young men to be assistant paymasters in the navy.

BRIGANDAGE IN THESSALY.—Mr. Maynard, our minister at Constantinople, has furnished the Department of State with a graphic account of the abduetion of Col. Synge, a prominent E: lishman, from his home in Thessaly, by bri- yands. He had just returned from the north of t Fovince, where he had been engaged in distributing among the suffering rerugees the tunds contributed by his countrymen tor their . The abduction was a bold and skilfully | Planned affair. His house was surrouaded in the bight time, fired, and himself carried off to the mountains, where he was held in captivity un- 1 a ransom of over $59,000 was paid. When yuge first went to Thessaly the brigand uands, he says, were each composed of tive or ten ragged rufMfans, armed with illat gaos whieh would hot go off’at all in wet weather, and were nearly as dangerous to the shooter as to the party fired at. Now these bandit! go about in bands of 50 to 100, armed with the best of rifles, making requisitions on towns and vil- lages. and carrying off whomsoever they please toranusom. Mr. Maynard thioks {hat wherever the success of this venture becomes known throughout the empire, no stranger will be safe. it 's thought very probable that this act was in- epirga in a large measure by a destre to tnyolve e British government in the question of the Greex fronuer, THE MansHars Birt reached the President thisafternoon.

He says in adidtion, how- ever, that be was about six miles off the Cuban Coast. ‘The custom of nations is that a vessel may approach within a league of a foreign shore without permission, Spain holds that foreign vessels Cannot approach nearer her ceast than two leagues.

It exempts Mr. Heiskell from the operation of section 1,215, Re- yised Statutes, which prohibits appointinent in the army of those who have ser: federate army. On its former discussion an amendment offered by Mr. Garland was adopt- ed, re ig Section 1,218 in toto, but the fur- ther consideration of the bill was cut off by the expiration of the morning hour. To-day Mr. Whyte, in order to avoid oe, debate, which would defeat the bill, asked unanimous consent, to reconsider the vote by which Mr. Garland’s amendment was adopted, so that It might be ow rejected. Mr. Cameron (Wis.) objected, but Lane being seekn to by Mr. Whyte, withdrew objec- on. The Senate thereupon reconsidered the vote, rejected the amendment, and passed the bill by a party vote, republicans voting against it, mfr. Cameron (Wis.) calling for the yeas and nays.

He had no objection to the bill being taken up again, but shouid insist upon. his amendment being considered. Mr. Conkling asked why that could not be done. Mr. Wallace, in chat of tke Dill, said it would be im) ible to discuss the amendments offered by Messrs.

TGE SENDRY CIVIL BILL. ‘The conference report on the sundry civil aj Propriation bill was submftted by Mr. Bec! who explained {t. The House generally agrees to Senate amendments increasing appropria- Uons for public buildings. The appropriation for a lighthouse at Stanark’s Rock, Supe- rior, was stricken out. The appropriation for buoys on the erie and Ohio rivers is com- promised at $40,000. e appro} ion for fur- niture for the new bi at ego is com- Promised at $90,000. The appropriation for the national board of health, which was the prin- cipal point of difference, ts compromised at about $100,000. The appropriations for navy yards are compromised as follows: Mare Island $112,000, instead of $150,000; Pensacola $150,000, Instead of $200,000; New London $20,000, instead of $30,000.

The vote resulted 105 to 2. Messrs. King and Acklen and the opponents of the bill, who had refrained from voting, Taised the point of “no quorum,” and Mr. Wil- son (W. Va.) suggested that after this exhibl- on the subject had better be dro; Mr. McLane, however, rei to drop the subject, anda call of the House was ordered, which showed the presence of 206 members. Mr. McLane said that he had been importuned to give way for the reason that it was perfectly evident that there were not two-thirds In favor of the Dill. If that was true, let the bill be taken up and let a two-third vote fall. Why should the House ask him to take for ted what it was 80 easy to prove. He declined to withdraw the bill. Mr. Acklen said that if the gentleman trom Maryland wanted to place members on the record on this bill, which had never received the sanction of a committee, which affected the revenue to the extent of many millions, which needed a fair consideration, he should not have brought it in at this late hour. This was not a fit time for the consideration of such a ques, tion. It was a bill in the interest of a few importers. A SHARP DISCUSSION. Mr. Conger.—The bill 1s entirely devised to peuteey foreign labor and destroy America jabor. Mr. Humphrey.—A man who cannot live on 50 per cent protection but wants s0 per cent, ought not to be protected. Mr. Frye.—There is not a word of truth in the statement of the gentleman from Mi —— (Mr. Conger.) Iam a tariff man and for this bill, and there is not a word of truth in his statement. [Excitement.) Mr. Conger.—Your remarks are scandalous, and not worthy of you or any other gentleman.

Frye.—it ts a reply to the remarks made by you that we, who support this bill are anti- tariff and in favor of tree trade. [Applause ainong the denocrats.] I have stood in sup- port of the tariff as long as you and as truly, and I represent the tariff men of New England. You, when you charge the people from 59 to 80 per cent upon sugar, are not a tariff man, and not a friend of the tariff, pase Sparks.—What a happy family.

Hunton is willing even to accept tl amendment, so as to get the free bridge. Yes- terday when he tried to take it_up Representa- tive Klotz, of Pennsylvania, objected. To-day Mr. Klotz indicated that he would withdraw his objection, but Representative :Crapo, of Massachusetts, has indicated that he will re- new the objection. Gen. Hunton will now en- deavor to get a conference committee to recon- cile the differences between the two noses and if the free bridge is gotten through at ail it will be due to his most persistent efforts to benefit his constituents and the people of this District.
