There are about 90) balusters needed, and it 1s understood that the iirm have nearly completed 700, but the work will have to be done over again. GENERAL SHERMAN this morning said that there have been several instances ot army officers having applied for military details through _mem- bers of Cougress instead of through their com- mon superiors; that there ar strict regulations against It, and that It is time that the practice was Stopped, dnd those guilty made to pay the penalty by bringing them to trial before a general court Martial, which wiil probably be done.

Adopted. PRESIDING OFFICER PLO TEM. Mr. Frye called up the rule recently reported by him from the committee on rules allowing a Presi- cent pro tem of the Senate when temporarily ab- sent to designate in writing a Senator to perform the duties of the chairfor the day and during such temporary absence until the Senate shall otherwise order. Mr. Garlind moved a substitute, and various suggestions were made to remedy’ the difficulty which occurred recently by reason of the absence of the ding officer foraday. Mr. Garland section 3, article 1 of the Con- stitution imperatively directs the Senate to choose “ presiding, Officer In the absence of the Vice Presi- ent Mr. Ferry advocated an amendment substantially similar to Mr. Garland’s. Messrs. Hoar, Sherman, Maxey and Frye joined in the discussion which followed, and Mr. Morgan dened the authority of a member to assuine the functions of presiding officer, except when, in the language of the Constitution, “the Senate shall choose” him to act as such. He held that the pro- cess of an election was indispensable and op- posed all amendments to the existing rule—4. ‘The subject, after occupying three-fourths of the time allotted for morning business, was referred, with amendments suggested by Mr. Brown and Mr. Gorman, to the committee on rules for further consideration. House bill to accept and ratify an agreement with the Shoshone and Bannock Indians for a sale of a portion of their reservation in Idaho territory, required for the use of the Utah and Northern Yailroad, was pass Mr. Hawley then called up the Senate bill creat- ing the Oregoa short line railroad company.

Mr. Townshend gave notice In the House to-day thatif the committee on ways and means did not at an early day report a resolution for the final adjournment of Congress, he would himself make & motion to that effect. Mr. Kelley, chairman of the committee on ways and means, stated that the matter would be brought to the attention of the House after the next committee meeting. THE BILL TO REDUCE INTERNAL REVENUE TAXA~ 10: The House then, at 11:25, went into committee of the Whole (Mr. Camp in the chair,) and resumed consideration of the bill to reduce internal revenue taxation, it being agreed that general debate thereon should close at 3 o'clock, at which hour eulozies upon the life and character of the late ‘Thos. Allen of Mo. will be delivered. Mr. Stephens safd that the bill was right as far as it went, but that it did not go nearly as far as he would have wished. He thought that theentire internal revenue system ought to be abolished. Internal taxes, except in time of war, were antl. Tepubiican and anti-democratic. They were in opposition to the general policy of this goyern- ment ; they were of British origin, and had always been ylewed with British odium. "The best way In ® revenue was by import duties, s heavily on the tax payers, and that legislators ought to look to. son explained and defended the action committee on ways and means, Mr. Wilson spoke in support. of two amendments which he proposed to offer—the one striking out the clause abolishing the tax on bank capital, the other forbidding national banks to charge of re ceive any interest, discount or exchange exceed- ing the rate of six per cent per annum for the loan of any money or in the discount of any bill, note or other obligation, Mr. Wiis argued in support of a proposed amendment providing that alcohol and other spirits to be used in the manipulation of tobacco and in other industrial pursuits shall be free of tax. Mr. Kelley said that while be wished that the arts could have free alcohol, the tax upon the ar- Ucle could not be abolished as long as it was main- tained on spirits. Mr. Dunnell thought that {t was an error for Congress to begin now a repeal of laws affecting the internal revenue. The debate was stopped at three o'clock and eulogies were pronounced upon cx-Representa- tive “Allen, of Missouri, District in Congress. ‘The Senate to-day passed the bill directing the Secretary of the Treasury to pay to J. A. Merrill $41.48, being an amount collected from him as an erroneous charge for special Improvement against property in the District. THE POTOMAC IMPROVEMENT BILL AND THE RIVER AND HARBOR BILL. ‘The Senate committee on commerce are holding daily sessions upon the river and harbor bill. They have been considering 1t for a week, and have So far only got through with four pages. It is estimated by a member of the committee that It will take ten days longer to finish the bill. Mem- bers, of the House who fafled to get such appro- priitions as they desired for their respective dis- iricts are besieging and importuning the Senate cominittee to incorporate amendments that will give them what they want; and between them and the amendments winted by the Senate, the comtnittee Las its hands fu.l.

The people who are in this city actively interest- ing the:nselves in endeavoring to procure a respite for Guiteau, expressed a desire to appear before the Attorney General, to whom the papers and pe- titions lald before the President yesterday were referred, and make a further argument in the case. The Attorney General has refused to re- ceive them for this purpose, but indicated that if they had any additional arguments to submit they could put them in writing, and he would consider such papers with the otuers. Dr. Beard Is prepar- ing a paper which he will send to the Attorney General to-day, WHAT XR. REED INTENDS TO DO. Mr. Charles H. Reed, Gulteau’s counsel, told a Star reporter this morning that he proposed to see bot the President and the Attorney General and urge upon them the importance of extending the respite until he could be heard by the Supreme Court in October next. He thought that a respite of that length could not be objected to. Hedid not propose toask them for a pardon but simply a re- spite. “ My God,” he continued, “the people of the United States don’t want tosee derazy man hung!” Mr, Reed sald that there was a chance to getthe upre! There were eight Judges, and it was an ordinary every-day occur- renee for them to differ in decisions upon ques- Uons that came before them, and why not on this application for a writ eas corpus? Mr. Reed witl endeavor to have personal interviews with both the President and the Attorney General to-morrow, DR. BEARD TOLD A STAR REPORTER this morning that he was going to prepare an ad- ditional argument for reference to the Attorney General to-day. “I was just going to consult with these gentlemen about the form and character of this effort,” he said, pointing to Mr. Reed and Rev. Mr. Hicks, who were talking together in the Riggs’ reading room. ‘The three shortly after retired for a consultation upon the next move in the case, which fs the prep- aration of the argument to be referred to the At- torney General ‘THE ARGUMENT FILED WITH THE ATTORNEY GENERAL TO-DAY. By the request of the President and the Attorney General, Dr. Beard and Dr. Godding to-day pre- pared a supplementary statement of the reasons why they ask a respite for Guiteau. In this statement special reference is made to the manner in which the defense was mismanaged during the late trial. Special refer- ence ts also made to the expert testimony, and the facts in Dr. Beard’s personal experience.” It go°s on to say that if Dr. Beard’s advice had been fol- lewed by Mr. Scoville one solid month of ex- pert testimony could have been procured. Allusion is also made to the change tn the sentiment of the medical profession throughout the country. The to urge a short respite In order to enable a med- ical board to exainine into Guiteau’s mental con- dition. In this connection reference Is made to the action of the Eng case of Lamson, when ‘the resplle was granted before any testimony was submitted. The point 1s then made that the commission is asked purely in the name of science and not through any sentimentality or sympathy wi that maudlin pilanturophy that cannot beat to see a responsible person hanged. Gutteau does not heed the stay of execution. His mental condition 1s such that he will conduct himself at the scaffold precisely as he did during the trial. The senti- lent of the past and present Ume ts entirely against the hanging of an insane person, and that Uils appeal ts made not alone for this country and for this time, but tor all countries und all | times.

The Question of = Commission for uiteau. DR. GODD: ‘3 ARGUMENT, The morning papers publish in thelr notice of the hearing before President Arthur on the ques- tion of acommission of lunacy for Guiteau, the substance of a letter written by Dr. Godding, of the government hospital cor the ‘nsane, some time since,to a person asking his views of Guiteau, and convey the idea that it was his argument before the President.
