A Ifit at the Pension Examiners, SHARP POINTS FKOM THEE DESATS IN THE HOUSE LAST NIGHT. In the debate on penston cases in the House last night, Mr. Cutcheon, of Michigan (rep.), made the Stutement that the main object of the examiners in the pension bureau, in many cases, was to skim over the files and dispose of as many cases as pos- sible, disapproving them without much examina- tion into their merits. Mr. Hewitt, of New York, sald he was sorry to hear the gentleman's charge against the examiners employed under the republican administration.

The amount of dredging was 11,549 cubic | yards, the greater part having been done on the northeast margin in front of the monument reser- vation.

Mr. Randall pointed out tie importance of pass- 4g the appropriation bills speedily. Not to do so would be to risk an extra session, which would be of Iittle good to the country, and sul less to the party to Which he belonged. Mr. Stocksiager replied with some warmth that he was performing what he considered his duty in contending for the execution of the ‘special order. A PERSONAL DEBATE. then sprang up between Messrs.

Mr, Stockslager then moved that the House go into committee of the whole for the consideration of public butiding measures and he asked permis- slon to make a statement. Mr. Hutching (N.

De Merolia he Baltimore American says: Mr. Gola had at- tached the property of De Merolla on four prom's- SOry notes aggregating $5,500, one note, for $300, being in Italian, and bearing the seai of tne consu- late. ‘The attachment was resisted by other creditors, first, on the ground that one of the notes—as a cause of action—was not in English, as required by law; second, that the claim was sued for as an aggregate, and was not added up, or ivemized; third, that the word “doliars” was lect out in the aggregate, and fourth, that the action Was on a sealed paper. Judge Brown overruled all four points. As regards the attaching of une seal of the consulate, it was not to bs presumed, ne sald, Unat a consul could piedge his goverument iD such a manner, even thougd, as in tals case, the note specified that the money was for the use of the consuiate.
