Blaine and James Russell Lowell, of the rights of American citizens abroad, calling on the President to vindicate these rights, and demanding the recall of Minister Lowell. Re- ferred to the committee on foreign relations. Mr. Cameron, of Pennsylvania, presented al: number of petitions from localities In the state, In favor of the Chesapeake and Delaware Ship Canal; in favor of the Lowell bankrupt bill; and for the Telease of American citizens abroad, etc. Mr. Hampton reported favorably, from the milt- tary committee, the billfor a monument to the memory of Baron DeKalb. Mr. Bayard reported favorably, from the finance committee, with amendments in the nature of a substitute for the measure, the bonded spirits bill. ‘The bill went to the calendar. Mr. Vest reported favorably, from the committee on territories, the bill to establish a United States court in the Thdtan Territory. The Senate bill relating to California collection districts, called up by Mr. Farfey, was passed. Mr. Harris called up the House bill appropriat- in; $50,000 for a public building at Jackson, Tenn. Mr. Conger gave notice that on Thursday he would move action on all the reported bills for public buildings. ‘The five per cent land Dill eame up as unfinished business at 2 o'clock. Mr. Plumb in charge of the bill succinctly reviewed the provisions of the measure, House of Representatives. Mr. Taylor, from the committee on judictary reported in the House to-day the following bills, which were referred to the House calendar: Pro- viding that accessories after the fact may be tried before the trial of the principal when the principal has escaped: making the bribery of, or the accept- ance of a bribs by a witness punishable by a fine Of not more than $500 or imprisonment for not mor: than two years; declaring the bribs ceptance of a bribe by, a juror ita misprision of felony of the commission of a felony in any place exclu- sively within the jurisdiction of the United States. THE NATIONAL BANK CHARTER BILT. The House then resumed the consideration of the national bank charter DilL Mr. Hewitt, of New York, premised his specch in favor of the bill with the declaration that he was the owner of no stock in national banks, and that he had never borrowed a dollar from such a bank, What he said would not be in the interest of banks,but would be spoken as the representati of a district in which he did not believe there was a national bank. He did not claim that the pres- ent system was perfect, or that in some other age and Ume a better would not be devised; but It was the best that had yet been devised by the ingenu- ity of man. Mr. Hewitt severely criticised the speeches delivered by Mr. Kelley, of Pa., and Mr. Kasson,contradicting the statements made by him during the tariff debate, declaring that the former had shown an absolute ignorance of the facts, and submitting that the latter should retract the lan- guage then used by him when he charged him (Hewitt) with having made a deliberately false Statement, without a scintilla of truth. He sub- tnitted to the gentleman from Towa (Kasson) that he owed tt to himself, to him (Hewitt) and to the country to withdraw ‘every word of the offensive and unfounded sentence which he had used. Mr. Kelley sald that so far as She was concerned he had nothing to retract or qualify. He again dented, as he had previously done, that any of the steel companies had pald any sach dividends as the gentleman from New York asserted. Mr. Kasson safd that when he used the phrase which seemeal to have been offensive to the gentle- man trom New York (Mr. Hewitt), he had referred solely and exclustvery to gentlemen who depended on the transient paragraphs in newspapers as evi- dence in making direct statements of facts. In ho other sense could the gentleman construe It. Mr. Buckner, after bricily advocating the substi- tution of treasury notes for national bank Lotes, opposed the pending bill_as being wholly unnec- essary. It was a delusion and a cheat. ‘The vote upon the National Bank charter Dill will not be reached to-day, but the general discus- ston will continue throughout the afternoon. Mr. Crapo, who has charge of ;the measure, Will endeavor to close the general debate to-morrow at 2o’clock, and will then ask the House to take final action on the bill before adjournment. ‘The District in Congress. THE TONER LIBRARY. The House passed the bill yesterday authorizing the Librarian of Congress to accept a library to be donated to the United States by Dr. Joseph M. To- ner, of this city. Mr. Sherman, from the joint brary committee, to-day reported to the Senate a joint resolution ac- ceptiny e Offer of Dr. Toner. The resolution authorizes the librarian to accept the collection unaer the terms and conditions named by Dr. Toner in his memorial offering the books (which has been printed) that these ‘Books shall be kept ina aie collection and be known and designat as the Toner collection, etc. Mr. Sher- man said that the library consists of sf el ot 20,000 volumes treating upon historical, medical, scientific, biographical and literary subjects, and is estimated to be worth $50,000 or $60,000. ' The resolution Was unantmously adopted. Subsequently, the House joint resolution on the Subject was received and passed; the action on the Senate bill being annulled. THE HOUSE COMMITTEE. The District of Columbia committee of the House to-day reported, and had placed on the calendar, the bill to more effectually suppress gambling in the District; also, to quiet certain titles in the Dis- trict. The latter is a bill to vest the title of square 670 In Augustus Jay instead of the United States, ‘The bill agreed upon by the committee for index- ing the land records of the District provides that such indexing shall include only the records from January 1, 1982, THE TAX COLLECTION BILL. Mr. Neal, under instructions from the committee on the District of Columbia, moved to suspend the rules inthe House yesterday and pass the bill for the collection of taxes in the District of Columbia; but the bill being a long one and its reading being insisted upon by Mr. Randall, Mr. Neal withdrew the motion. REJECTION OF THE CARROLL CLATM. ‘The House yesterday, by a vote of 136 to 38, de- feated the bill (favorably reported from the com- mittee) to pay Mrs. Carroll, executrix of the late William Carroll, the sum of $20,000 for wood and timber used in the construction of Fort Slocum, one of the defences of Washington during the late war. ‘The property was taken from the “Sligo” and “ Dobbin ” farms in Montgomery county, Md., then the property of Mr. Carroll, who was c! of tne U.

The room graduaily filled up and very soon Mr. Brady appeared with Messrs. J. Wilson, Totten and Jeff Chandler. Mr. Taggart, assistant United States attorney, stated to th ourt that he had no assignment for to-day, as he understood the star route casts Would requiré the attendance of the court, udge Wylle thereupon discharged the Jurors til! to-morrow. Defendants Tarner and S. W. Dorsey, Counsei- lors Ingersoll, Carpenter, Williams, and others interested in the cause, soon appeared. THE FAILURE TO FIND JOHN W. DORSEY REPORTED. The chairs at the prosecution table were unoc- cupled till 10:2) a.m., when Mr. Merrick arrived. A few minutes later Mr. Merrick, arising, begged par- don for being late. He then ‘asked Mr. Williams, the deputy marshal, If he «iad returnéd tue writ tor John W.

Dorsey In this District. “What information Lave you in regard to it?” asked Mr. Merrick. “I have none whatever,” replied Mr. Williams. “Did you make any inquiries for him?” asked Mr. Merrick. T have made inquiries diligently throughout the District.” “What fs the result?” said Mr. Merrick. “That ts the result,” sald the court, referring to ‘the return. “We have sent warrants, your honor,” sald Mr. Merrick, .to Texas, Vermont and § New York a ‘ “He may be in court,” suggested Judge ie. “He may be,” replied MF Merrick. “T' don't know. The presumption is, that the man is hardly in conre when the marshal returns him as not found.” A BENSATION—DORSEY IN COURT. The court directed the clerk to call J. W. Dor- sey’s name, and the clerk was proceeding to do so when Mr. Carpenter, arising, called out: “Stop! This caused a profound sensation. Mr. Carpenter, after a pause, said: “If the court please, Mr. Dorsey is in court. ' It was not the pur- pose of counsel at any time not to have him here. An effort was made to nave him in court, but he did not recetve the message. He 1s in court, and has been in the city for ten days.

MERRICK’S ANNOUNCEMENT, : Mr. Merrick then announced that the govern- ment was ready to proceed; the witnesses were here, but there was a condition of things which he deemed necessary to present to the court. He re- ferred to the quashing of the indictment in Rer- dell's case and the fac ae Witnesses in that cane were now before the grand jury. If they proceed to trial now they wouid have to go over the same ground again. He had no doubt that an indict- ment would be found in Rerdell’s case. He thought this trial would last two or three weeks. He sub- mage to the court whether they should proceed or no! MR. TOTTEN’S REJOINDER. Mr. Totten characterized this as a most extraor- dinary statement, The accused had nothing to do with Rerdell. He thought the spectacle of the court postponing proceedings to allow experiments to be made with the grand jury would be most re- markable. There were very many rumors abroad as to experiments before the grand jury. “I can’t act upon rumors abroad,” remarked Judge Wylie. THE DEFENCE OBJECT TO THE GROUNDS URGED FOR POSTPONEMENT. ‘Mr. Totten proceeding, urged again that there was noground on which this motion or request was made. Would the court consolidate the in- dictments?
