S Mr. Morrill, from the finance committee, re ported in the Senate to-day amendments to the Hous? bill reducing internal revenue taxation. ‘They repeal after October 1st, 1882, the additional duty imposed in 1875 of 25 per centum on all mo- lasses, and on sugar according to the dutch stand- ard in color, imported from foreign countries; fix the duty on'steel railway bars at $20 per ton, and take the duties upon manufactures from hoop, band or scroll tron the same as those Imposed upon the matertal from which they are made. Mr. Bayard remarked that the amendments had not been reported by a unaniinous vote. ‘Tho Dill, with amendments, was ordered re- printed. Mr. Dawes called up the Senate bill granting the right of way to the Arizona Southern Railroad Company through the Papago Indian reservation in Arizona. Passed. The Senate then resumed consideration of the river and harbor bill, the question being upon the amendinent reported from tho special committee onthe subject of appropriating $500,000 for the improvement of the Potomac flats. ‘The discussion 4s reported elsewhere. Nominations To-day. The President sent the following nominations to the Senate to-day: Philip P. Wilcox, of Colorado, to be agent for the Indians of the San Carlos agency in Arizona. R. Kandall Hoes, of New York, to be a chaplain in the navy. House of Representatives. Mr. Crapo submitted the conference report on the bill to enable national banking associations to extend their corporate existence. In the course of a brief explanatory discussion Mr. Randall criticised the provision that the Sec- retary oi the Treasury shall suspend the issue of gold certilicates “whenever the amount of gold coin and gold bullion in the Treasury reserved for the redemption of U. 8. notes falls below one luu- red million dollars.” “He was not sure but that the proviso discriminated against sliver, and he asked that the bill be recommitted to the confer- ence committee with a view to having it drafted in better form. Mr. Crapo declined to yleld for that purpose, and the conference report was agreed to—yeas, 108; nays, 78. ‘The call of states for the introduction of bills hay- ing been dispensed with the floor was accorded to the committee on the District of Columbia. After the bills had been passea, mentioned elsewhere, the District committee having no further business to present, Mr. White introduced a joint resolution Proposing a constitutional amendment prohibiting the abridgment of the rights of citizens of the United States on account of sex. Referred. THE SUNDRY CIVIL BILL. The House then, at 1:45, went into committee of the whole (Mr. Kasson in the chair) on the sundry ¢ivil appropriation bill. The District Water Supply Bill. DIECUSSION IN THE HOUSE TO-DAY. Mr. Neal, in the House of Representatives this Morning, called up the report of the conference committee on the Dill to Increase the water supply of the District. Mr. Blount, who is opposed to the Dill, asked that 1t be debated for a half hour as it ‘Was an {mportant Dill. Mr. Neal did not concede this, whereupon Mr. Blount raised the point that no quorum had voted to order the previous ques- tion. A vote was then taken by tellers, a larze number of democrats refusing to vote at all to break a quorum. Finally, after some delay, a quo- Tum was secured, and the House, by yeas 125, nays 21, ordered the previous question on agreeing to the report. r. Neal then explained the conference report, which has been heretofore printed In THE STAR, and, in reply to questions by Mr. Willits, said the ‘Treasurer of the United States was to charge the District $700,000, which was to be paid, with 3 per cent interest, by the people of the District trom the surplus of the water rents. Mr. Blount sald under the law now $15,000 have to be provided for annually to meet the Interest on the water bonds. Tt would take twenty-nine years first to provide for this debt before any money could be applied from the water rents for the con- templated new work. He wanted a proviso In the Dill to compel the District to provide annually to Meet tts share of the expense of the water exten- sion. The present water indebtedness is over $400,000, and not a dollar ts provided for in the pending bill other than to provide for the interest on the amount. The District now owes over twenty-two millions of collars. He was in favor of dealing Uberaily for the District, but fairly. ‘anted the people outside of the District, who axes, also treated fairly. He wanted the s ded that the people ot the District could not escape paytng hali of the expense. Mr. McLane, of Maryland, said he thougiit Mr. Blount was tn error in his statement that the bill did not provide for the payment of one-half of the expense by the District. It was clear to his mind that 1 did, and that the water rents would in Ume extingtish the debt. ‘The water rents would be sufiicient to pay the interest on four ml of debt; hence it was easy to pay the interest on $100,000 and provide a Sinking fund go meet the principal. eis in the power of Congress to rogu- ate the water rents if need be, and thus protect the government. Mr. Urner said the extension contemplated was a government work and would be governinent property. It was not right to make the people of the District pay for what was simply and purely a government work. Mr. Neal, in concluding the debate, said the water receipts last. yeor were over $110,000, and the net receipts over $70,000 after paying all ex penses. The proposed extension would increase the water receipts, and, moreover, Congress had the right to regulate the water rents so as to pro- tect the governinent. ‘The Conference Report Agreed to; The question then came on agreeing to the re- port of the conference committee, and it was agreed to, the House refusing to take a yea and may vote. ‘The bill as agreed to by the conference commit- tee provides that all the money necessary for the works contemplated shall be edvanced by the federal government and one half charged to the District of Columbla, to be paid out of the water Tents, with interest at the rate of three per cent per annum. District Bills in the House. INTEREST ON TAX ARREARAGES, At ten minutes after 1 the District. of Columbia got the floor in the House to-day. The first bill Passed was that in relation to tax arrearages, in which the Senate amendments thereto were con- curred in. The bill now only needs the President’s signature to become a law. It enacts “that the Tate of interest. tobe eollected on all general taxes in arrears July1st,1879,and on special ssess- ments due the District of Columpta, shall be 6 per centum per annum, in lieu of the rate and penal- tles now fixed by law: Provided, This act shall only apply to taxes ana assessments pald on or before November Ist, 1882.” TO PUNISH HOUSE BREAKING. ‘The Senate amendments to the bill to more effectually punish house breaking were also agreed to. With the President’s signature it will become alaw. Itenacts “that every person, his alders, abettors and counselors, who shall either in the night or day break and enter, or who shall in the night time enter without brenking Into any dwell- ing he bank, store, warehouse, shop, stable or other building, or any Vessel, canal_boat, or other water craft, or any railroad ¢ar, in the District of Columbia, With intent to commit any larceny or other felony or misdeameanor therein. shall be im- prisoned not less than 1year,nor more than 10 years, hat every person who shall enter any dwelling- house, bank, store, warehous2, shop, stable, or other building, or any vessel, canal-boat, or other water-craft, or any railroad car, or any yard where lumber, coal, or any sort of gooils and chattels are deposited and kept for the purgose of trade In the District of Columbia, with the intent maliciously to injure or destroy any of the bulld- ings, vessels, boats, or crs, aforesaid, or any part thereof, or any property or effects deposite) or kept therein,or any property oreffects deposited or kept in or upon any such yard, or with intent to slay, Kill, matm, or assault any” person being In or ‘upon any of the premises aforesaid, upon convic~ Uion thercof, shail be imprisoned not less than one Year, nor more than fifteen years. A BILL TO QUIET TITiE. The bill to quiet the title by the Uniled States to certain lands held by the heirs of Joseph Pearson, in Washington, was passed. The District in Congress. WM. BOWEN’S CLAIM. Mr. Rollins, from the District committee, to-day reported back to the Senate unfavorably, with the recommendation that tt be indefinitely postponed, the Senate bill for the relief of Wm. Bowen. Mr. Allison interposed, and said he hoped that would hot be done, but that the bill would be placed on the calendar, Mr. Rollins—“If the Senator will allow me to finish my report, he will gee there is no neéessity for that.” ‘The chair asked If Mr. Al- Uson assented to the Indefinite postponement. He Teplied that he did not until he ascertained what Mr Rollins was going to report. Mr. Rollins (some- what tartiy.)—“If the Senator cannot take my word for it, then he can take a vote of the Senate if he wants to.” Mr. Rollins then reported favor- ably a substitute for the House bill, all Mr. Bowen to take his claim to the Court of Cams, Mr. Allison was satisfied. ae Sy Sena he rau, THE POTOMAC RIVER. A Half Million for Its Improvement— Proposed Amendment to the River and Harbor Bill Discused in the Sen- ate. ! On Saturday, Mr., Ransom, from the select committee on the reclamation of tae Potomac flats, offered the following ‘amendment to the river and harbor bill: “Improving the Potomac river in the victnity of Washington with reference to the improve- ment of the navigation, the eft sblisument of har- bor Ines, and the raising of’ the flats, under the direction of the Secretary of War and ‘in accord- ance with the plan and report made in compilance with the river and harbor act approved March 3, 18st. and the reports of the boant of engineers made in compliance with the: resolution of the Senate of December 18, 1881, $509,000.” | A point ot order made against the amendment by Mr. McMullon led to a running debate; but it was finally voted to be im ofder, and germ ne to the bill by the presiding oficer. MR. SHERMAN’S ADVOCACY OF THR MEASURE. Pending the debate Mr. Sherman sald: “There 1s not a single item contained in the bill of sixty- SIX pages that las been so*thoroughly examined in all its parts and beattggs as this particular proposition. It seems to me that for us to vote $20,000,000 of government money to improve rivers and harbors, and make no appropriation for that which is within our sight, within our smell,I may say, all around us,a harbor on which we have butit a navy yard which 1s blockaded by growing swamps caused by ourselves, by the drainage of the city, in which our vessels ‘dally ground 1a our presence, would bea most remarkable proceeding. Why, sir, 16 would be a scandal “and- a shame, it seems to me, under the circumstances, not to make some sultable provision for the improvement of this harbor; and if in the course of that Improvement as proposed by the engineers we may also reiteve the people of this city Irom a growing danger that threatens ther, that certainly ought to. be no ob- Jection to it. Itis the improvement of the harbor that is proposed; aud if by improving this harbor we do a great good to the people of this city, we certainly ought to doit. For four summers have I been here within sight and smell of this harbor of Washington, and Ido not want the people of this city to endure it longer if Congress can by any wise provision relieve them.” VIEWS OF MR. OORTKES. Mr. Voorhees.—“I concur fully with every word 80 well uttered by the Senator from Ohio on this subject. Ibelleve that great and necessary im- provements ought tobe made to the harbor for the purpose of navigation in and about this city. Here is a rivera inile wige, and a branch of it lying to the east of us,in which by proper {m- Provements the largest ships in the world may lind sufficient water, whereas now yachts and Stnall vessels go aground.on various’ occasions. ‘The time will come when the railroads will be re- guired to bulld ‘a proper bridge in place of the Tong bridge, 80 a8 “no longer to obstruct naviga- jon.” The Debate Resumed To-day. Immediately upon the conclusion of morning business in the Senate to-day, the river and har- bor bill wastaken up. The question of the appr o- priation for the reclamation of the flats was th tirst business, : MR. RANSOM SAID: It would be remembered that over a year since aresolution directing an inquiry into the matter of reclaiming the flats was adopted, and since last December, when the select eommitiee was raised, the inquiry had been in progress. Immediately after the appointment of the committee it walted Upon the President, the Secretary of War ana the chiet of engineers, and requested that a board pf most competent engineers of the army corps be detailed to make a survey. Owing to the keatand sickness of sumer, there was some delay In the observations and survey, but a thorough survey Was inde. A board, consisting of Gen. Gilmore, Col, Craighill and Col. Comstock, was detailed; and made a survey; and MrsRansom had their re- port ih favor of the improvement read. Mr. Ransom continuing sald,that a large num- ber of gentlemen skilled in engineering and in Sanitary sclence was summonsd before the com- mittee. He said that Col. Abert, who had tharge of the work, and Major ‘Twininz, now unfortu- nately dead, agreed that the work by the plan pre- scribed by the board entirely practicable. The testimony taken by the,cgmmittee was unanl- mous that the plan was entirely practicable, and that Jt would cost not over $2,500,000. Mr.’Ran- som said the next question the committee con- sidered was that of the heakh He named the prominent physicians called by the committce— drs. Wales, Garnett, Lincoln and others—and said that every one of them, without exception, de clured that the reclamation of the fits wo greatly benefit the health of the city. All the experts, save three, testified that the flats are now the chief cause of malarial sickness here. With the unanimous report of the board ofengineers and of the medical and sanitary ex- erts, the comuuittee would submit the propo- sition. ‘Che improvement would give Washington, and Georgetown a safe snd commodious harbot it will save the city from all danger of overflow In the third piace the experts declare and demon- strate that the liprovement will save the city from the curs of malarta. Mr. Ransom thought the proposition too clearly beneficial and important to need more to be said in its favor. VIEWS OF MR. VEST. Mr. Vest, as a member of the committee on com- Merce and of the select committee on the flats, had advocated the improvement of Washington. As the capital of fifty millions of people Washing- ton ought to be made beautiful and healthy; but there were certain rules of the Senate, certain rules governing the river and harbor bill, that he Was not willing to violate even for the sake of {mn- proving the nuttonal capital, He maintained that the testimony taken by the select. committee was as to the sanitary effects, and not as to the com- merelal benefits.’ The question of the commercial aspect of the work was hardly touched upon. Mr. Ve-t claimed that the late Major Twining estimated the cost of the proposed, inprovement at from two and a half to tive mifitons. He sald it would be out of place to vote $5,000,0C0 for any commer- clal improvement here, as ail of the commerce for Years Would not amount to that much in value. ‘He wanted to know whose plan was proposed to be adopted. AS TO THE PLAN. ‘Mr. Ransom repited that the plan of the board of engineers was to be adopted, and he said that every page of the committee’s report almost re- et to commercial as weil as sanitary improve- ment. Mr. Vest maintained that the commercial inter- est was merely secondary. Mr. Ransom (holding a copy of the committee's report in his hand,) said that right at the very be- inning of the report was the engineers report re- lating to the fixing of harbor lines and other im- provements of the harbor. ‘The question of com- Mnerclil Improvement was indissolubly Maked to that of the sanitary improvements. Mr. Vest referred to the effect the report that malaria had poisoned Gen. Garfield had in influ- encing men in favor of reclaiming the flats. Mr. Blair asked if the flats produced yellow fever if that would not afford ample ground for enpropeiatiz money to reclaim them. r. Vest thought the question of the propriety of the amendment upon the river and harbor biil was the main one for consideration. He hel tnat, the matter was entirely out of order on the river and harbor bill. He had been informed by a Sen- ator that litigation would certainly follow the inning of tnis improvement. tir Ransom, in reply, read from the engineer’s report that the cost’ of the work would be ‘$2,500,000. MR. GARLAND'S AMENDMENT. Mr. Garland thought the amendment out of or- der, but the Senate had decided otherwise. He was in favor of the improvement, but did not think this the proper way to provide for it. He said Washington was the of the nation; me home, almost, of every member of Congress, ‘Ww! by reason of the long sessions of Congress have to remain here nearly allof every year. A3 this was the nation’s capital, a elty in which all the people are interested, he was heaptily and earnestly in favor of this improvement intended — to benefit the general ith of the city. He said there was a mce of opinion as tothe cost of this tmy nt, but that the expenditure ts under qonteplot the Secretary of War, and of course he wou! expend any more than was necessary to te the work. He agreed with Mr. Vest asto portance of defi- nite pas and ee ni @ separate bill, but the Senate had declared the hmendinent in order, and he submitted to that deefgion. He (Mr. Gar- land) thought it importants ta put in a provision requiring the Attorney. Gepesal to examine all claims of titles to lang improved and see that the government 1s ted. He there. fore offered an amendment t effect.

HENKLE OBJECTS. Mr. Buss desired to ask the witness some ques- tions regarding drivers coing over the whole route, and offered him an affidavit with the view of cor- recting or refreshing his memory. Mr. HenkT¢ ob- jected to this: mode of examination, arguing that the prosecution could not impeach ‘the credibility of its own witness. Judge Wyle held that it was Proper to refresh the memory of the witness, and also to cross-examine one’s Own witness by leave of the court. Mr. Bliss said that the prosecution apprehended that this witness was unfriendly; at any rate, after making an aMdavit last summer In the inter” est of the prosecution, he had certainly been act- ing in the interest of the defence since he had be THE COURT SUSTAINS THE GOVERNMENT COUNEFT, After a long discussion, during which many au- thorities were cited, Judge Wylie admitted Mr. Bliss’ question.

The witness replied that they night have done so in some instances, but did not do it asacommon thing. The witness was questioned at considerable length regarding the stock on the Toute for the purpose of showing the FALSITY OF THE AFFIDAVIT OF THE CONTRACTOR as to the stock required for the increased service. ‘The witness was then cross-examined by the court andthe affidavit used in the examination by Mr. Bliss was turned over for inspection by the de- fence. ‘The witness sald he drew the affidavit, he thought, in May, 1831, in Bismarck. ‘The paper was drawn by Mr. Childs, a post office inspector, and sicned by the witness; the witness had not seen It since that time. He was not aware of any intention to deceive, and had not talked with any- one on the side of the defence; he was not aware that he had been “deviating very much from the Path of rectitude.” ‘The aMdavit was used by Mr. Bliss because the statement as to the stock on the route, trips, &., 4s at variance with that given In the testimony of the witness. The witness, upon re-examination by Mr. Bliss, who framed his questions after con- sulting the’ affidavit, sad it was true that the company employed fifty head of stock on the route in September, 1878.

Woodward, inspector of the Post OMice de- partinent, was called to the stand for the purpose of explaining the course the papers had taken since they left the files of the department.

A SENSATION CAUSED BY ARREST OF A MINER AT CAMP MAYER—THE OUTPUT AT ECKHART—XEW LABOR AT HOFFMAN MINE—SALE OF THE FAIR GROUNDS—THE COMING MILITARY ENCAMPMENT. CUMBERLAND, MD., July 9, 1882. Quite a sensation was caused at camp Mayer last evening on account of the arrest of a resident miner by the name of Martin, better known as “Crab” Donahue, who, while intoxicated, at- tempted to start a riot among the miners, and when prevented by police became abusive. His performances were greatly encouraged by a knot of idlers who gathered at the uproar. Donahue, it seems, tried to break through the lines of the company’s policemen, but was at once arrested and taken before Capt. Hancock, who ordered him to be sent to Cumberland. A knot of miners gath- ered at the car, but no effort was made to rescue him from the officer. who ht him to Cumber- land, where he was. fore Justice John R.
