In two weeks from Monday next the second ses- ston of the 47th Congress will convene. The ses- ston will have a great amount of unfinished busi- ness to elther dispose of or to suffer to perish trom neglect. During tho last session of Congress there were Introduced tn the Senate 2,283 bills and jotnt reso- lutions, and in the House of Representatives 7,182 bills and joint resolutions, About 800 propositions lave been reported favorably to the House of Rep- Tesentatives, and about 300 bills and Jotnt resoiu- tions have passed this body. The Senate has passed nearly 500 bills and joint resolutions. But of these propositions only about 200 have found thelr place on the statute book. Among the most {mportant Hills and Joint reso- lutions remaining on the Senate calendar are the following: House bill No. 8598, to reduce the inter- nal revenue taxation, which has been amended by the Senate so as to ‘alter certain custom duties upon sugar, steel railway bars, hoop, band and scroll tron, &c.; bill to authorize the payment of custom duties th legal tender notes; to establish a uniform system of bankruptcy; to regulate and improve the cvil_geryice of tha United States; to incorporate the Maritime canal company, of N ragua; the Eads bill for an inter-oceante Ship ra Way; bill to provide for ocean mail service between the United ‘States and certain foretgn ports; to authorize the Secretary of the Interlor to ascer- tain and certify the amount of land located with military land Warrants In certain states; jotnt resolution to amend the Constitution in respect. to alcoholic liquors; jolut resolution to provide for a commission to report legislation regulating com- merce between the states; Dill to authorize coi struction of a butlding for the Congressiona Ubrary; bill to establish an educational fund and to appiy a portion of the proceeds of the sales of the public lands to pubite education; a bill to con- yert the Agricultural bureau Into’ an executive department of the government, with additional powers and duties; a bill providing fora bureau of animal industry: the Fitz Jon Porter relief bill; the bill reported by the Judiciary committee to remove the disqualification of ex-confederates from appointments in the army of the United States, which was defeated bv the coalition of Mahone with the republican Senators; the bill to create aU. 8. court for the Indian Territory, by Senator Vest; bill to provide for the performance of the duties of the office of President incase of the removil, death, resignation, or inability, both of the President and Vice President. ‘Of these measures the bill modifying the inter- nal revenue and custom house taxation fs in the foreground, and will come up as unfinished bual- ness. ‘The Fepublican Congressmen, after turning over the subject of the tariff to a commission an. refusing to take it upon the ground that there Was not time for its consideration, undertook, at the very close of the session, amid ‘the torrid heat of July, to make a revision of the tariff. The dem- ocratic’ Senators insisted on the right to full dis- cussion and to offer amendments, and owing to the anxiety of the Housa to adjourn, the whole subject went over. It will now come up in con- nection with the report of the tariff! cominisston, who will probably submit promptly the outline of a Dill for the con=Ideration of Conzress with their Teper leaving the testimony to be printed after- wards) Naturally the first. business tn order to be dealt witu by the House ot Representatives will be the disposition of about two hundred Senate bills now lying on the Speaker's table. Many of these are siinple in thelr character and are practically cov- ered by favorable reports trom House committees on the same subject. An effort will be made to pass, atleast, those which involve no appropria- tion of money and others will be sent to proper committees. “Among these Dilis are measures to rovide for erecting public buildings at Augusta, Me.; Montpeller, Vt.: Haverhill, Mass. ; New Castie, Del.; Clarl aWs C.; Greenville, 8. C.; La Crosse, Wis; y, Mo.; Hot Springs, Ark., and Car- Among the measures on the House calendar of the committee of the whole are the following: To create an alcoholic Mquor traffic commission; to provide a permanent construction fund for the havy; to provide for coining the -golold dollar; to Tegulate the collection of the tax on welss beer; for the admission of Dakota; to suthorize the con- ction of vessels of war for the United States avy; LO DI for ocean nil! service; to admit Washington Territory a bill relating to the exportation of tobacco, snuff and cigars in bond; a bill to establish a branch mint at St. Louls; a vill to grant the right of way to the St. Louls and Sar Francisco raflroad company; a bill to pro- vide for the Hennepin ship canal;’a Dill for the Delaware and Maryland ship canal; a bill to fix the compensation of U. 8. district attorneys; a Dill to adjust the duty on Imported hay; a bill to create a board of commisstoners of inter-state commerce, and a joint resolution providing for an inquiry into the condition of American shipping. Among bills on the House calendar proper are bills to establish a muntelpal cote for the District of Columbla; to inerease the efiictency of the ina- rine hospital service; to establish a postal savings depositary ; to establish the territory of North Da- kota; to regulate the removal of causes from state to federal courts; to provide for the French spolta- tion claims; to provide for the efficiency of the revenue marine service; to promote the efetency of the signal service; to authorize the consolidae ion of railroad compantes In the territories; to creafe a retired list of the army; to declare for- feited the land grants of certain raflroads; to de- clare forfeited the land grants of the Texas Pacific railroad in Arizona, New Mexico and California; to suspend the issue of silver certificates, and to Umit the coinage of stiver dollars, and to establish uniform system of bankruptcy. There fs also the Senate bill, known as the “Court Bill,” to create an intermediate court. NOT MUCH CHANCE FOR THEM. Very few of these measures have any chance of passing. The appropriation bill will absorb most ofthe time. On the 18th of July last the commit- ‘tee on ways and means was Instructed by resolu- tion of the House to assemble in this city for the reparation of revenue bills on the 24 Tuesday§ of November. This day has come and gone and there 1s no meeting; but it ts understood the com- mittee 1s to meet, as it usually does, on Monday next. The appropriations committee may meet in advance of the short session, and the chances are that the committee will have several of the a) Propriation bills ready by the first day of the session. There will, of course, be a number of pottieal speeches in which the elections will be ally disc ———— What Jndge Kelley Says. THE TARIFF QUESTION AND THE INTERNAL REVENUE. Judge Kelley, the father of the House of Repre- sentatives end chairman of the committee on ways and means, isin the city, Mr. Kelley says the tariff commissioners have not as yet prepared thelr report, and may not until after Congress convenes. For this reason ,after Monday’s session of the ways and means committee, it 1s probable there will be no further meeting until Congress convenes in regular session. Mr. Kelley 1s still an advocate of the abolition, entire, of the existing internal revenue system, and will labor to have passed a bill at the coming session having that end In view. ———+9.____ Railroad Builders and Indians. THREATENED INVASION OF AN INDIAN RESERVA- TION. The Indian agent at the Fla‘head agency, in Montana, writes to the Indian commissioner as follows of the raid about to be made upon the res- ervation by rallroad contractors: “The immense crew of raflroad constructors now at work west of the reservation, in charge of J. L. Hallett, ccnsisting of seven thousand four hundred men, with camp followers, gamblers, ex- convicts, lewd women, &c., are rapidly advancing to the borders of the res fon, accompanied by portable saloons, gambling housisee. Merchants and traders of all descriptions also advance with the construction party, and when the border of ‘the reservation ts reached the question will arise whether this trade can be continued in an Indian country. I will require from your office some in- structions as to any modification, should you pro- fee Such, In regard to intercourse laws. It is evi- lent that this vast army of laborers must be sup- plied while at work on the reservation, and it your instructions imply a strict conformity to tie intercourse laws governing Indian reservations, the two regularly licensed ‘traders of the reserve Should have timely notice to provide supplies which will meet the exigenctes of the case. It will, at all events, require a military force to keep back the traders, shop-keepers, saldons, etc., who have followed up the construction ty named, if decided that the agency licen: traders alone shall be allowed to do ‘business on the reserve. ‘With a military force I apprehend no danger or difficulty in keeping the whisky traders off the re- servation, but in regard to the prohibition of the saJe of clothing and necessary supplies by. the shop-nccpe™ now advancing with this army of working men, you Wii p:ess@give the necessary instructions, and I will follow them, and peridra> my duty to the best of my ability.” TRADERS TO BE KEPT OUTSIDE.BY SOLDIERS. ‘The Secretary of the Interior the North- Teservation, but this permiss! dig. not include the Lap to @ host. a thew a to send a force of soldiers keep the camp followers off hip inear Geene son City, Ni Siaet THE STAR ROUTE BRIBERY cases. | The Case of Shaw in-the Police Court— Other Features of the Scandal, The case of Frederick BeShaw, charged with at- tempting to bribe Edwin BeDoniphan, one of the star route jurors, came up in the Police Court at noon to-day. Messrs. Wells: and Ker were present a3 representatives of the-government, and Mr. Pelham as counsel for the@efendant. Before pro- ceeding Mr. Wells called attention to the case of Foote, and, after some discussion, the case was set for hearing Saturday. Mr. Wells read tue complaint against Shaw, charging him with attempting to corrapt Don!= iphan by offering him €200 Lo acquit defendant, S. W. Dersey. THE DEFENSE WAIVE A HEARING. ‘Mr. Pelham said that the witnesses for the de- fense in the Shaw case were not present. He was uncertain whether to ask a continuance of the case here or waive an examination. He was in- glined to waive. After some talk with the court, Mr. Pelham said he would watve an examination, as the court here would probabiy examine only to seo whether there was a prima facle case, The court consented that Shaw be held under the same bond of $2,500, which will be renewed to- morrow. THR FOOTE CASE. The court suggested that as the Foote case seemed to be attended withthe same circumn- stances as that of Payne tt would be wise to waive an examination tn that case also, Mr. Wail, Foote’s counsel, pleaded that he was not yet prepared to take that course. It was then determined that the case should be called to-mor- row, and, {f Mr. Wall was not ready to walve, 1t should be set for a hearing Saturday. THE CASE OF MR. DICKSON. Mr. Wells said that he had already said to Mr. Smith, Mr. Dickson’s counsel, that he was waiting for a witness in that case. That witness was on his way, and as soon as he was within 400 or 500 miles of here he would ask that a day be fixed for the hearing. Judge Snell expressed himself desirous of get- Ung these cases out of the way of the regular bust- ness of the court as soon as possible. The court then adjourned. The Star HRonters Attempt to Intimi- date a Juror, STAR ROUTER HELM DISMISSES A SON OF THE JUROR FROM THE GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE. It appears that persistent efforts have been Made to intimidate or otherwise Influence Mr. Edwin D.Doniphan, the star route juror, by whose evidence the government expects to show a bold and open attempt to bribe a juror with money tn the interest of Stephen W. Dorsey. Mr. Doniphan has for some time been receiving through the mail copies of the Critic, the star route or- Ban, containing passages marked in blue pencil, These articles had a bearing on the ease, and some were construed by Mr. Don- tphan as of a threatening character. Mr. Doniphan has a son who has for some time been employed as an apprentice In the Government Printing Ofiice. Tuesday the young man recetved the following communication: “E. C. Doniptian: From and after this date, on ‘accountof your tn- ability to learn to be a pressman, I give you this Notice that your service 1s no longer required. A. B. Aver, foreman press room.” ‘Those who KnOW the young man represent that he 1s capable and eficient.“ Mr. Doniphan’s friends claim that the dismissal 1s another attempt to fufluence Mr. Doulphan, and attribute it to the same spirit that inspired the scheme of mailing papers to Mr.Donl- han, Mr. Doniphan is of the opinion that Mr, elm, of the Government Printing Office and of the Critic, 1s responsible for the distnissal. THE CASE OF FOOTE. Thomas R. Foote, the alleged star route “jury fixer," who surrendered himself yesterday after- ternoon, and gave ball to answer the charges ay agstatedin Tuk SrTak last evening, has been in the city fortwo weeks past. When he got his bondsmen yesterday he notifed the marshal that he was coming tu, and his counsel 0.8. B. Wall, started from the Police Court in his buggy, and drove to South Washington, and re- turned ina few minutes with Foote, who surren- dered to the marshal. Foote and his counsel were at the Police Court this morning. Mr. Wall, coun- sel for the prisoner, told a Stax reporter that he was waiting to see whether Mr. Wells was going to Nix aday for trial, or what he was going to sug- gest about the case.’ Foote was present only as a Spectator. JUDGE HOOVER. Judge Hoover, who is an Important witness in the case of Willlam Diekson, having been di- Tected by the Attorney General to come to Wash- ington without delay, left Arizona, it is said, on the 12th, and will be here about Sunday. DETECTIVE MILLER TO BE ARRESTED. A telegram from this elty last night to the New York Heraid says: “It 1s understood to-night that after Detective Miller has been dismissed from the police force he will be arrested on the charge of violating a United States statue relating to the government of the District of Columbia, which makes ita felony for any member of the police force to compromise a felony or any other unlaw- ful act or to participate in, assent to, or assist any person suspected of crime to escape'a full judicial examination by failing to give known facts or reasonable cause of suspicion or withholding any information relative to the charge of suspicion from the proper judicial authorities, and ror any violation of this ‘provision any officer of the force Shall be deemed as having compromised a felony and shall be prosecuted to the extent of the law for aiding criminals to escape the ends of justice, According to Detective Miller's own statement under outh in court he withield information from the judicial officers of the District and gave It to his personal friends who were in no way connected with the prosecution of crime. The same statute also makes it a felony for any person having knowleage of a crime to withhold it trom the judi- clal authorities. Under this law several lawyers Prominent in the star route prosecution, 1t 1s Said, ‘will be proceeded against for compoundiag a felony in withholding information from the Prosecuting officers of the District.” ——.—___ ‘The Potomac Flats Contract. WHAT SECRETARY LINCOLN SAID TO-DAY OF THE INVESTIGATION INTO THE STANDING OF THE LOW- EST BIDDER. 2 Secretary Lincoln satd to-day that he felt per- fectly satisfled with the recommendations of Major Hains to award the contract for dredging the Po- tomac flats to Mr. Sanford Ross, and felt justified in his approval of the recommendations, and that he 1s perfectly willing to justify the action taken. The delay in making the award was caused solely for the purpose of allowing Mr. W. H. Adams, the lowest bidder, ample tme to prove his’ re- sponsibility. This he was unable to do. He referred Major Hains to a number of reputabie men, who, he said, would vouch for his reputation and his abliity to satisfactorily perform the work. None of these gentlemen were willing to give such a recommendation as would warrant them in intrusting him with such an important work. In fact, his reputation was that of a failing contractor. Thespertormance of a work of such magnitude as the dredging of the flats would re- quire an outlay in the start of at least one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Mr, Adams, whiie not being able to prove his ability was unable to now any backing of any consequence. In addi- lon to the above delinquencies, Mr. Adams’ bid was informal, but that could have been over- looked. In the Secretary’s opinion, Mr. Adams from the start had no idea of ever doing the work in case the contract should be awarded to him. He further said that he was per- fectly ab’e to convince any one of the unad- visability of awarding the contract to Adams by giving the detalis of the careful investigation made of his character and responsibility.
