Tae Harrer’s Ferry Property.—The solicitor of the Treasury in his report to Secretary Folger in reference to the government property at Har- per’s Ferry, with a view to tts sale or lease, gives a complete history of the property and its’ advan- tages as @ manufacturing site, but makes no Tecommendation as to its disposition. A local company, represented by C. N. Dutton, offers to lease the property for 99 years, at an annual rental Of $4,000, and the Baltimore and Obio raflroad com- pany has ma‘e «an Informal offer to start the prop- erty at $15,000. These are the only pending propo- sitions for the property, and the solicitor does not favor the acceptance of either. He reports that the Rroperty. both on the Potomac and the Shenan- doah rivers, has been in disuse and subject to ex- posure and deterioration for over 20 years, and as there {8 no appropriation or means for its protec- tion, it must necessarily continue to deteriorate the longer its disposttion 1s delayed.

The Democratic Program, ‘The democratic meinbers of the House have de- cided to submit a resolution at the first oppor- tunity, which will recite the action of the Speaker in refusing to entertain Mr. Springer’s appeal from his (the Speaker's) decision yesterday, and declare, in effect, that in the judgment of the minority the chair ruled arbitrarily,-and in so doing violated not only the rules of the House of Representatives, but the Constitution of the United States. THE HOUSE WILL SIT P ‘until 5 p.m. to-day. The election case will be the only business considered. Members of the minor- ity say they will not attempt to interrupt the de- bate. A large number of democratic members have left the Capitol for the day, having been as- surred by the republican jeaders that no business excepting the Mackey-Dibble election case will be taken up and that the previous ‘question will not be called to-day. ae Hepresentatives Speer and Stephens. STATEMENT OF THE FORMER IN REGARD TO THE AL- LEGED ISSUE BETWEEN THEM. Representative Speer of Georgia makes the fol- lowing statement with regard to the alleged issue between himself and Hon. Alexander H. Stephens: ‘There is no issue between Mr. Stephens and me with regard to any telegram to Dr. Felton, which Talso gave tothe Associated Press. I called on Mr. Stephens at his room Sunda; 14th instant. Thad learned that committee of Independent democrats was to meet in Atlanta the next day. Tatonce told Mr. Ste- phens that I would telegraph them to recommend im as the beonies candidate for governor. His secretary furnished me some telegraph blanks,and I wrote the telegram in his room, read it to and at his suggestion altered it in'two particulars, I have the original draft. The telegram recited, “I know positively he will not respect such recom- mendation, and that if elected he will be the gov- ernor of all the people without regard to pasty,” ‘The telegram was true, every word of it i Stephens’ dental does not apply to this telegram, but to a telegram sent Tora Auanta a Ang had tele- iy pane the morning that a western paper “stating that he graphed to the convention of independents hat he would accept: their nomination for gov- ernor.” He sent no such te om Isent no such velegram, and the telegram I sent to Dr. Felton Speaks for itself. Mr. Stephens expresses himself ahnoyed at the attempt to make an issue between him and me when none exists. Emory Speen. MR. STEPHENS SAYS THERE IS NO ISSUE BETWEEN THEM. Mr. Stephens makes thts statement over his sig- nature: “The above is substantially true. What Mr. S| Felton was strictly true, though not by authority from me. There is no is- sue between me and Mr. T.

THE SOUTH CAROLINA: CONTEST, DISORDERLY SCENES IN THE HOUSE. ‘The journal of yesterday having been read, Mr. Springer objected to its appreval, on the ground ‘that it omitted all reference to two very import- ant i..lions which he had submitted and to ap- peals which he had made from the Speaker’s re- fusal to entertain them. - He had the oficial report on the subject read from the @ongressionat Record, and he then moved to have the journal,| Corrected so as to include those two motions— which were to lay on the table the report of the committee on rules and to re-commit the report With instructions—together with the Speaker's re- fusing to entertain them, his (Springer's) appeals from such refusal, and the Speaker’s declining to entertain them. The Speaker directed the clerk to read the rule governing the case, to the effect that every motion Made to the House and entertained by the Speaker Shall be entered on the journal; and he said that if the clerk had journalized these motions and appeals he would have acted improperly. * EXCITING SCRNES IN THE HOUSE. Mr. Springcr pointed out similar cages in the Fecent proceedings of the House, where motions that were not entertained were journalized. He argued that the’ motions were proper ones, and should have appeared on the journal, which should show correctly and truthfully what was done, even though the journal might then contain a condemnation of the man who sat in the Speaker's chair. {Indignant calls to order on the republican side; and a declaration by the Speaker that the gentleman was not in order.} Ihave right to speak. If Iam not in order, let my words be taken down. ‘The Speaker.—The chair can very well afford— Mr. Springer attempted, amid excitement and confusion, to proceed with his remarks; but was told peremptorliy by the Speaker that the Ser- eant-at-Arins would be directed to force him, at least, to desist. Democratic members gathered around Mr. Springer giving him aid and encouragement,while many republican members were also on their feet protesting angrily against Mr. Springer’s course. Mr. Springer informed the Speaker, defiantly, that he could not be taken from the floor. Mr. Humphrey.—You can and will Ican do it myself. [Laughter.] Mr. Springer.—It would take a larger pattern than you to do it, [Continued laughter.) The Speaker.—The chair can very well afford to allow the gentleman from Illinois to make im- proper remarks in so far as they apply to the chair alone, but It Is quite another thing when the gen- tleman undertakes to destroy the dignity of the House by his own conduct. [Applause by repub- icans Mr. Springer.—That has been already destroyed Cae 80,” said Mr, Reed} by your side of the louse. ‘The Speaker.—Any proper motion that the gen- tleman may wish tomake relating to the correction of the journal will be entertained by the chair and submitted to the House. The journal clerk in omitting motions that were not entertained pro- ceeded exactly in accordance with the rule. Mr, Knott, after some further colloquy, made a constitutional argument in Support of Mr. Spring er’s position. The command of the Constitution was plain and peremptory that each House should keep a journal of its proceedings. If that meant anything it meant that every transgction which took place during its session, every motion made and every ruling on jt_should’be reduced to writ ing. A journal oplied a complete and truthful Journal The fact that a motion was out of order Was No reason why that motion and the ruling upon it should not. appear on the journal. On the contrary, 1t should be recorded as a precedent for the future. If nothing was togo onthe journal except when the Speaker chose to entertain it then the will of the Speaker, and not the Constitution oF the rules, would be the law of the House. Where Was the redress and what would then become of the provision of the Constitution which required that the proceedings of the House should be truth- fully recorded? Had it come to this, that the arbi- trary will of the Speaker, right. or ‘wrong, was to supersede and override the Constitution? He had as high respect for the Speaker as any other mem- ber had; yet he could not say that the Speaker was infallibie or incapable of making a mistake. When the Speaker refused to entertain a motion that Was perfectly legitimate in sueh refusal he (Knott) could not say that the Speaker was not mistaken. ce the Geobes = saw as the Le epoca was Mistaken, because the rules give a ; of appeal from the decision of the chair. jee coe The Speaker admitted the accuracy of the gen- eral proposition, Stated by Mr. Knott, but repeated that the al clerk acted strictly in obedi- ence to the rule. Mr. Burrows asked Mr. Knott wi ithe had Interrupted him while Just. speaking, and had made a motion to adjourn, which had’ not been entertained, he wot appear on the journal. ‘Mr. Knott thought it unnecessary to answer such a question. “[Derislve laughter from republi- Mr. Burrows.—That’s the very case, and I would lke to have an answer. Mr. Haskeli sews that the journal was to con- tain the proceedings of the House—to be a record of the things done by the House. A motion that Was not entertained could certainly form no part of the proceedings of the House. THE MOTION TO CORRECT THE JOURNAL REJECTED. After further remarks by Messrs. Kasson, Kelley and Randall, the motion to correct the journal was Tejacted—veas 89, nays 134. ME, MILLER’S OPENING SPEECH INTRRRUPTED. Mr. Miller then started with the opening of his speech in the contested election caseof Mackey against O'Connor, but had not finished the first Sentence when the attention of the 3 er was called by democratic members to the thet that the Journal had not yet been approved. AS the vote proceeded, and as the democrats withheld their votes, there was a likelinood of.the failure of a quorum; but an active hunt after re- publican absentees, and the fact that Messrs. Wil- Son and Morse, who were palred, carried out their Promise to vote, if necessary to make a quorum, Tesulted in 146 yeas and 3 nays, 8o that the journal of yesterday was approved. Mr.. Miller then proceeded with his speech in favor of the report of the elections committee in the case of Mackey against O’Connor. + LITTLE JOKERS. In the course of his speech Mr. Miller caused some amusement bysan exhibition of the tissue ballots—which he called “little Jjokers”—by which democratic frauds are said to have been com- mitted in South Carolina. He gave an {Mustration Of the use made of them, and suggested that in the close northern distticts it might be convenient, for democratic candidates to understand the game. ‘The District in Congress. THE WATER SUPPLY BILL. ‘The Senate bill to increase the water supply of the District can be reached only in the House out of its regular order in three ways: ist, by unanl- mous consent; 2d, by a suspension of the rules, and 8d, by making it a special order. On the third Monday of ay month, if the District committee 80 instruct and the committee is called, any mem- ber of the committee nized can move to sus- pend the rules and pass it. On the first Monday of each month any individual ean ask for the pas- Sage Of the bill if he gets the Speaker’s recogni- tion. Mr. Neal has ‘et decided upon the best lan to secure action on the bill.

Ss A bright May morning gave notice that nature Was in full harmony with the sad exercises for which this day is annually set apart. It was a holiday in the city. The stream of life that pours through the streets on other days to office, store Or workshop, was transformed into an army in holiday attire, with picnic baskets, fishing rods, or other equipments for a day of pleasure. The pleasure seekers first appeared upon the streets and made their way to depot or steamboat land- ing, where hundreds of people embarked im search of the golden fleece of pleas- ure. When the sun had ascended higher, those who recognized the solemn duties of the day appeared upon the streets, and soon many par- {des were on their way to the cemeteries, which Were to witness the solemn ceremonies of memo- rlalday. The statues of the city were all appro- priately garlanaed. ‘The Parade in This City.

About 10 o'clock the several posts began to arrive with their post colors and each with a national banner. ‘The members were dressed in blue blouses, with Grand Army buttons, fai caps, black pants and white linen vests, and the number participat- ing was much larger than had been anticipated. THE LINE OF THE GRAND ARMY formed on D street and marched out to the avenue and halted on the north side, the right resting on ‘%h street.
