THe LrBeRIAN BOUNDARY QUESTION SETTLED.—The U. 8, consul at Slerra Leone has informed the Department of State that the commission appointed to settle the northwest boundary of Liberia, signed on the 11th instant a final convention fixing the northwest bound- ary at the southeast bank of the Maunah river. ‘The whole Maunah river is therefore included in the territory of Sierra Leone. It. appears however that the British government by, this extension of British jurisdiction from the Sher- bro to the Maunah river, a distance of seventy miles, controls only the seaboard, one mile in- ward, while the interior is left free to Liberia, APPEALING To THE LAW OF MosEs.—One of the postmasters who had a greater supply of pen and paper than he had of common sense, recently wrote to the department here in evi- dently great perturbation of mind about the appointment of a clerk who was hard of hear- ing. He had been impressed that such an ap- pointment was contrary to law, and he wished to know if he had reaily violated a law. This communication was referred more as @ joke than for the purpose of having this knot 1 point settled, and one of the officials, in the same spirit, replied by referring to the law of Moses, whieh provided that no man ‘with a blemish should stand before the Lord. He added that he understood that this law had been repealed by subsequent legislation, Official Changes. The following fourth-class postmasters have been appointed in Virginia: Wm. H.

COMMISSIONER SPARKS AND MR. DEMENT CON- ‘TRADICT PUBLISHED STATEMENT, The published statement that the land office has information implicating high officials of the governmentin land frauds in Utah is de nied by Commissioner Sparks.

THE HOT SPRINGS LEASES. Mr. Berry, from the committee on public lands, reported favorably with an amendment, the concurrent resolution heretofore submitted by him, regarding the renewal of the leases of the bath houses, ete., at Hot Springs, Ark. On the suggestion ‘of Mr. Ingalls, the resolu- tion went over one day under the rale, Mr. Logan first giving notice that at the proper time be would move to amend by limiting the time to the first session of the Forty-ninth Con- Sress, so that if the present session of Congress. should adjourn without having taken actionon the subject the question of the renewal of the leases should revert to Its present position. TO EXEMPT EX-UNION SOLDIERS FROM CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATION. Mr. Call submitted a resolution which, at his Tequest, was laid over for the present, directing the committee on military affairs to report a bill providing that ex-Union soldiers shall not ‘be required to submit toa civil service exami- nation before appointment to any position em- braced in the civil service law. Mr. Call said he introduced this bill because a distinguished ex-Union officer, now resid- ing in Florida, having ‘applied for @ subordinate position in the Pension burean found, on looking over the civil service directions tor that bureau that he would be un- able to comply with them. It seemed to Mr. Call that a man who had the ability and intelil- oped to become a distinguished officer in the inion army had ability and intelligence enough to fill a subordinate place in the Pen- sion bureau, BONDS HELD BY NATIONAL BANKS, A resolution offered by Mr. Ingalls was agreed to, directing the Secretary of the Treasury to inform the Senate what Proportion of the bonds called for redemption March Ist is held by national banks as a basis of circulation. THE COLUMBUS AND LAFAYETTE STATUES. Mr. Morrill submitted a substitute for thecon- current resolution heretofore offered by him,set- ting apart the circles at the entrances to the Capitol from Pennsylvania and Maryland ave- ues as sites for statues of Columbus and La- fayette, The substitute is a joint resolution, and provides for the “setting apart of those circles as sites for — stat- ues of the historical personages named and constituting a commission to select a new and appropriate site for the proposed Garfleld statue. The commissioners named are the Sec- retary of War, the president pro tempore of the Senate and the chairman of the Garfield Mon- umental committee of the Society of the Army of the Cumberland, ME. CONGER CRITICISES WASHINGTON STATU- ARY. After some remarks by Mr. Morrill explana- tory of the propriety of the arrangement pro- posed, Mr. Conger took occasion to criticise the artexhibits to be found in Washington, He said there was not in the capital city of this nation @ single work of art executed under the direction ot the government _ that filly or creditably represented the nation, He likened the statue of Columbus at the east side of the Capitol to Sancho Panza, playing a game of “pitch and toss,” with the Greenough Statue of Washington. The joint resolution went over till to-mor- row. BILIS PASSED. The Senate then, going to the calendar, took up and passed the bill providing for the division of part of the Stoux reservation in Dakota, and the relinquishment of the Indian title to the remainder, House of Representatives. In his opening prayer the chaplain said: “We commend to Thy infinite pity and tenderness Thy servant, the Secretary of State, who sits with his children inahome desolate because twice within a fortnight death hath entered. In this time, when earthly, state and human sym- pathy avail so little, may thespirit of the living ‘God come to heer and comtort them.” THE TELEPHONE MATTER, Mr. Hanback (Kas.) rising to a question of | personal privilege sent to the clerk's desk to have read an editorial from yesterday's New York World, entitled “The Telephone Scandal,” but the reading was immediately interrapted by Mr. Breckenridge (Ark) with’ the point of order that there was nothing in the editorial which reflected upon the gentieman from Kan- Sas in his representative capacity. ‘The Speaker inquired whether there was any allusion in {t to the gentleman from Kansas. ‘Mr. Hanback shook his head. ‘The Speaker—Then the gentleman must state what the question of privilege is, Mr. Hanback—Tne House will understand what the question is after thearticle is read. ‘The Speaker—But unless the article reflects in some way on the gentleman from Kansas in his representative capacity there ean be no question of privilege involved. Mr. Hanback—Not at all. I disclaim that; but I ask that the article be read. ‘The Speaker—The article does not appear to contain any reference to the gentleman from Kansas. ‘Mr. Hanback—The article that is to be read and ‘other articles reflect on this House, and ‘on that I claim that it is a question of the high- est privilege. A short discussion. ensued upon the point of order, in the course of which Mr. Dunn (Ark. maintained that the question of privilege must be clearly shown before the records of the House were made a Vehicle to cart scandals be- fore the country, AN INVESTIGATION PROPOSED. In order to get around the difficulty Mr. Han- back offered the following resolution: “Resolved, That the committee on expendi- tures in the Department of Justice be empow- ered tomake full inquiry into any expenditure on the part of the goverment relative to. the- rights of the Bell and Pan Electric ‘Telephone Companies, and for the purpose of this investi- gation and to the end that ‘the people may be fully advised, the commitiee {3 granted the right to send for persons and papers, all ex- penses to be audited and accounted from ap- proved vouchers, and when s0 approved to be paid out of any moneys in the ‘Treasury not ‘otherwise appropriated. ‘The Speaker could not see that the resolution involved u question of privilege, It was merely aresolution of Inquiry, Another short debate ensued over this ruling, in the course of which Mr. Randall (Pa,) said that while he did not believe that the House had anything to do with the: subject, matter as presented, he was opposed to throwiug any ob- struction {n the way of the fullest investigavion of any matter whi ined to the good gov- ‘ernment of the United States, CUTTING THE GORDIAN KNOT.
