On motion of Mr. Allison, Mr. Voorhees offered and asked present consideration of a resolution in- structing the judiciary committee to inquire whether any legislation is necessary to secure a fair and impartial determination of cases triable in the federal courts of the various states, more particularly of states of the south, wherein the United States may be a party or in any way inter- ested; also, as to existing rules of law for the pro- tection of the citizens of said statesin all their just constitutional rights; whether any change in the same ts expedient and proper, and directing a re- | port as early as practicable. Mr. Edmunds satd that the judiciary committee had on former oveasions inquired into many of these topics and had reported more than one bill for the protection of the constitutional and legal Tights of citizens in all the states, but they had not always beenso bappy as to obtain the votes of a majority of the Senate to the passage of such bills. He rather thought that there might still be some advantageous legislation brouzht forward tuat would still further tend to protect every. cit!- zenot the United States, in whatever state he might bein the enjoyment fot the rights that the Constitution secured to him—iiberty of person, Uberty of opinion, and, in particular, liberty of olitical action. AS the resolution dia not em- ace all that it might bedesirable for the com- mittee to explore, he asked that it lle over for one Gay and be printed. An order was made accord- ingly. Mr. Hoar offered a resolution calling on the President for information as to the title by which the United States holds the navy-yard at Boston, ond inquiring whether, in the opinion of the At- torney General, any part of the fand and fixtures would be forfelied to the former owners or their heirs by asale of the same by the United states, ete. Adopted. ‘The calendar was taken up, and the Senate bill to permit grain brought by Canadian farmers to be und at milis inthe United States edjacent to Canadian territory under rules and regulations of the Treasury department was considered. Mr. Morrill said the bill was intended to legalize a practice which had existed for many years as a convenience to Canadian farmers along the fron- tier by which reasonable ge antities of their grain are allowed to be ground at mills on the American side without being treated as within the tariff laws. ‘The bill passed. MORE BILLS PASSED. The House joint resolution appropriating $10,000 to enable the Light House Board to pay extraordt- hary expenses consequent upon the Mississippi flood, and the Senate bill for the appointment of an additional judge for the judicial district of Ne- Yada (necessttated by the incapacity of the pres- ent judge), were also passed.

A QUESTION OP RESPECTABILITY —MR. M’LANE ‘SORRY. Mr. Holman rising to a question of privilege, read the language used yesterday by Mr. McLane, of Maryland, to the effect that his (Holman’s) mo- lve for his vote on the bill increasing the District police was not respectable. He denied the rightof that gentleman to determine what was or Wa8 not respectability in voting upon a measure. ir. McLane stated that he was sorry for having used the word, and the matter was dropped. ‘THE PARIS MONETARY CONFERENCE.

JUDGE SNELL HOLDS MC’KNIGHT AND THOKP IN $1,000 BONDS TO ANSWER THE CHARGE AGAINST THEM. Judge Snell gave his decision in the Police Court to-day, in the charge of conspiracy against John McKnight and James A. Thorp, of the “Artificial Stone Company,” brought by M. C. Rerdell, who charged that they had defrauded him out of $1,000 by making false and fraudulent representations to him, It will be remembered that Warren C. Stone was also charged in this case, but was dismissed during the hearing. The court said that Mc- Knight took out letters patent for the manufac- ture of stone, marble, &c.,and set a price of €200,000 on them, and formed a comnany, the amount of stock of which was to be $1,000,000, and McKnight to have $500,000 of the stock. If he had sold only the patent, the case would have been different, but he formed a company and acted as Promoter of the same. The court quoted authori. Hes in substantiation of the opinion that the pro- moter of a company is compelied to make full and fair disclosure of the interests and secrets of the pat- ent, ‘The testursany Was reviewed as to tie detend- an resenting several parties ve inves!

The court said he would have to hold the defendants for the action of the grand jury in $1,000 bail each. Mor- gan R.

Williams appeared for the de- fendant, and Hon. R. T. Merrick appeared for the government. Messrs. Chandler, Jercmtah Wilson and other of the star route counsel were present ‘as spectators on, account of their interest in the case. Mr. Merrick opened the proceedings by calling the court’s attention to the absence of the govern- ment’s witnesses, and asking for a continuance. He stated that he had telegraphed ex-Postmaster General James, and other wituesses in New York last night, to appear to-day as witnesses, and re- ceived a ‘telegram from Mr. James, (which the counsel uced), and which stated that he @ames) had important matters to attend to,and could not come on 60 short a notice, but would be here to-morrow. ‘The court said there was no necessity to precip!- tate a hearing in this case, and suggested that it stand until to-morrow, when they could go on or have some definite information as to when they ‘would be ready to go on with the case. Mr. Williams said there ts certainly a great deal of documentary evidence to go In, and suggested that the hearing go on with this. After further discussion as to whether the case be set for to-morrow or Monday, It was set for to- morrow, when Mr. Merrick said he expected to have enough witnesses to begin the hearing. pais Ri tia COLORED METHODISTS ANXIOUS POR UNION.—The fourteenth session of the Virginia Conference of the African M.
