MauRy.—The death of Mr. Jouraan W. Maury, wilch took place yes- terday afternoon athis residence, No. 1212 K street, Was announced in last evening’s Stak. Mr. Maury hhad been til for about three weeks. The announce- ment of his death caused genuine sorrow. There were few citizens of the District so well known and so greatly esteemed. He was in his sixty-ffth year. He came here in 1882, and remained bere from that time unui his death, with the exception of about pen years which he spent in Wilmington, Delaware. He was for a time, also, a member of the firm of Burke, Herbert & Co., bankers, of Alex- andria, but some years ago retired trom business. He was a member of one of the old nia famie lies whose name is associated wi% the earliest annals of the colony. He was born in Caroline county, and reared near Bowling Green, in a fine old mansion which has been in possession of the Maury family for two hundred years. He eg one Of six brothers, one of whom was the late J. W. Maury, who served [4 ae of Washington. The brothers living are Mr. Charles B. Maury, of this ity, and Messrs. 0. H. Maury and J. L.

Mr. Blair presented a large number of peti- tions for national ald to common sehools, many of them signed, he satd, exctusively by colored citi- zens. FAVORING THE TRANSFER OF THE SIGNAL SERVICE. Mr. Voorhees presented a resolution of the state board of agriculture of Indiana expressing hearty approval of the transfer of so much of the signal service as relates to climate and weather fore- casts to a civil department of the government,and earnestly recommending that the transfer be made to the denartment of agriculture, “where the subject of climate naturally belongs.” THE REVENUE MARINE SERVICE. Mr.Miller, of New York, presented the memorial of the chamber of commerce of New York protest- ing against the transfer of the revenue marine service to the navy department. The prestdent laid before the Senate letters from the Secretary of War transmitting a state- ment of the work and expenditures at the Spring- fleld armery during the last fiscal year; and also the reports of officers of the engineer corps in reli: tion to the improvement of the harbors of Savan- nah, Brunswick, and Moblle, and of'several south- ern rivers, Mr. Rollins introduced a bill granting a pension to Emma De Lon; Mr. Miller (N. ¥.) by request, introduced a bill fogive the Court of Claims jurisdiction to hear and determine the claimsof the Tice Manufactur- itg company against the United States. Also a bill to amend the act to regulate Immigratton. THE Y. 0. APPROPRIATION BILL. At the close of the morning business Mr. Plumb moved to postpone the calendar to proceed with the post office appropriation bill. Agreed to. The post office bill was taken up. The pending ques- tion wason the amendment changing the date when the reduction of letter postage from 3 to 2 cents shall take effect, from January ist, 1884, to the Ist of July next. Mr. Sherman said he would vote against the amendment, not so much because he disapproved the proposed reduction of postage as because he was utterly opposed to this kind of legislation upon an appropriation bill. Nearly all the ditt culties encountered last session had arisen from legisiation in appropriation bills, and he saw statements In the newspapers that the navy ap- Propriation bill would come from the House encumbered in the same way. In the present case the Senate was compelled to vote upon an im- portant proposition, involving a loss of about £9,000,000 of revenue, hurriedly, without the power of amendment and without the power to propose other changes which might give the people more Tellef than that proposed in the bil He had got tired of this method of legislating, and be hoped that from this time forward the Senate would re- fuse to agree to changes of law in appropriation bills unless some special and strong reasons could be given for them. As to the reduction of letter postage he would be glad to see it made at the proper time. REDUCTION OF POSTAGE. The debate continued until 1 o'clock, when the tariff bill came up as unfinished business. At Mr. Plumb’s request Mr. Morrill consented to its tem- Porary postponement in order that a vote might be taken upon an amendment offered by Mr. Edmunds striking out as new legislation the provision In the post office DML for the reduc- ton of letter postage to two cents, The motion to strike out was lost—ayes, 15; noes, 40. ‘Mr. Cockrell offered an amendment providing for the free carriage of periodical publications. Mr. Miller (New York) offered two amendments, e making the postage on seeds one-half a cent an ounce and the other reducing the postage on drop letters to one cent per half ounce, inciuding delivery from letter carrier offices, Mr. Plumb made the point of order against these three amendments as new legislation, and they were ruied out. ; FAST MATL SERVICE, The section of the bill directing an investigation by the Postmaster General into the rallway mall service was so amen ted,on motion. Mr. Groome, as to extend the investigation to questions of the advisability of a zeneral fast till service, the utes over which It should be» established, the dvantages and the estimated cgst of the system, and the reasons for continuing: the existing fast mail service. THE TRUNK LINES AMENDMENT. The bill reported to the Senate and the ameudments made in committee were agreed to, pt the one appropriating $185,000 “for neces- Sory and spectal facilities on trunk Mnes,” on Which Mr. Cockrell asked a separate vote. He sent up and had read an article from the Albany Argus, stating in substance that the fast mail train from New York to Albany was for the bene- fit of the New York papers. The amendment was agreed to—ayes, 32; noes, 25, 3 THE F. 0. BILL, PASSED AND THE TARIFF BILL TAKEN UP. The bill was then passed, and th¢tariff bill was taken up. Mr. Morrill, by direction of the committee on finance, moved to reduce the duty on unpolished cyliuder, crown and common window glass one- eighth of a cent per pound. Agreed to. House of Representatives. On motion of Mr. Tucker, of Virginia, a bill was Passed removing the political; disabilities of Francis H. Smith, sr., of Virginia, The Speaker announced the regular order to be the call of the roll on the passage of the bill for the relief of Morgan Rowls, of Georgia, which was under consideration when the House adjourned yesterday. ‘The bill was passed—yeas 96, nays 63.

The naval establishment. Was composed of eight bureaus, which acted in a disconnected and disjointed manner without any ‘eo-operation be- tween them, and the result was that the dit ferent paris of the ship did pot fit. The ordnance was too heavy for the vessel or the engines were too “small and useless, The navy ought to be reconstructed on a basis Which would bring these bureaus together and would compel them to wor: in eenfunction with one another. That would bring tho navy out of the utter chaos into which it had fallen, and build up a service which would compare favorably with the service of any nation of the world. Mr. Whiltthorne said that hetregarded this bill as one Of the most important ever submitted in re- gard to the naval service of the country. He con- curred in the view expressed by Mr. Calkins, that the legislation in the bill should not have been in- serted by the committee on appropriations. Capitol Notes.

FAVORING THE GOVERNMENT POSTAL TELEGRAPH. ‘The remarks of Messrs. Sherman and Edmunds in the Senate this afternoon favoring a govern- ment postal telegraph made quite an impression and will excite general comment and a wide dis- cussion of the whole question. Mr. Edmunds took the ground that electricity was as legitimate an agent of communication as steam, and he favored its employment by the government rather than a cheapening of mail postage. He sald, however, that he wished to give notice at the start to Wali street thac he did not favor purchasing the steck of any existing telegraph company, but thoucht the government should buy its own’ material and put the service into operation. Incidentally to the discussion a decided antagonism to the two-cent Postage rate was developed, and it is now thought joubtful if the Senate agrees to this feature of the House bill. BIG GUNS. Gen. Benet, chief of ordnance, was, to-day, be- fore the special Senate committee on heavy ord- nance, Senator Logan chairman, and gave his views with reference to the kind of guns the mill- tary service required.

LIVELY DEBATE IN THE SENATE ON THE TARIFF QUESTION. In the course of the debate in the Senate on the glass schedule of the tariff bill, yesterday after- noon, Mr. Vance stirred up the republicans by a plea for low duties on cheap glass, and precipt tated a discussion of the general principles of free trade and protection. The collequies which en- sued between him and Mr. Dawes and others on this subject were, at times, very entertaining, and showed clearly the difference in the standpoint from which the two schools of political economists look at the question, THE GREPNBACK MEMBERS OF CONGRESS held a conference at Willard’s hotel last evening. A committee, consisting of Representatives Rice, of Missourl; Brumm, of Pennsylvania; Jones, of ‘Texas, and Ladd, of Maine, was appointed to pre- Pare an address and report toa future meeting.
