Another Letter of the War Secretary. CIVIL SERVICE EMPLOYES. ——— Mr. Ingalls’ Resolution Passed. = The Senate. After morning business in the Senate Mr. Beck desired to call up the Hawley motion to reconsider the vote by which the Senate passed the bill prohibiting members of Congress from accepting fees or employment from railroad companies that had received government ald. Mr. Ingalls thought his resolution of yester- day, requesting the President to furnish infor- mation as to appointments and removals under the civil service law, had precedence. The Chair so decided, and the resolution was placed before the Senate. hod Mr. Vance offered an amendment requesting information as to the appointments made within the scope of the civil service act between January 16th, 1883, when the act passed, and July 15th, 1883, when it went into effect, ‘The resolution as amended was agreed to, Mr. Beck said he had been trying for ten days to get up the Hawley resolution to reconsider the bill already reierred to by him. After some’ debate, Mr. Beck said he would cail it up on Tuesday next. Mr. Ingalls entered a motion to reconsider the bill passed yesterday securing to the Cherokee freedmen their proportion of the proceeds of Jands sold under the act of March 3d, 1883. A resolution, offered by Mr. Sawyer, was agreed to calling on the Secretary of the Treas- ury to furnish the Senate information as to claims tor cdjustment of postmasters’ salaries not heretotore reported. Mr. Chace offered a resolution calling on the Postinaster General for information as to the amount of additional compensation asserted to be due postmasters and late postinusters under. the actot March 3, 1883, for the payment of which no provision had been made. In offering the resolution Mr. Chace sald he had reason to believe that the statements made yesterday by the Senator froin Kansas (Mr, In- gulls) were ‘correct and that the accouuts re- ierred to. were adjusted, and the information called lor by the Senate required merely atraps- eript from the books of the department. SUSPICION OF COLLUSION, Mr. Chace stated that some correspondenee placed in his. hands between certain claim agents In Washington and claimants outside pointed very strongly to the suspicion that there might possibly be some collusion between parties 11 the Post Office department and cer- tain claim agents in Washington, particularly one such agent, who asstimed to be above, not only the department, but Congress itself, and dictated to claimants what proportion of their claims they should pay him. That agent had even gone so far as to vive his own name toan act of Congress passed in relation to the claims in question. Mr. Chace believed that the Post- master General owed it to himself and to the department to take such action as should re- lieve the department from the grave suspicion that rested on it in connection with those claims. Mr. Chace did not mean to charge—he could not charge, because he was not prepared. to prove—that anybody in the department was guilty; but he would say that the circumstances pomied to a very grave suspicion, Claims against the government, Mr. Chace added, should need no “agent” for their presentation, or payment. It a bill were honest itshould be paid, and no claim agent should be ina position Wo say to a claimang, “Stand and deliver!” Mr. Butler thought it due to the present Post- muster General to say that claimants had bee repeatedly notified that no “agents” were necessary in dealing with those claims. He did not thini any one ciaim agent had any better standing in Cue department than any other. Mr. Chace’s resolution was agreed to. ‘The Senate then procecded to the considera- tion of bills on the calendar under the five min- ute rule. On reaching the Fitz John Porter Dill, it was agreed that it be made a special or- der‘for next Thursday. THE CIVIL SERVICE LAW. Mr. Vance’s bill to repeal the civil servicelaw was, on motion of Mr. Hawley, indefinitely post- poned; yeas 33, nays. The Senators voting in the negative were Messrs.

THE BARTHOLDI STATUE, Mr, Belmont also reported back the message of the President on the subject of the inaugura- tion of the statue of liberty enlightening the word, and it was referred to the committee on appropriation, TO ADJOURN JULY THIRD.

The Stanton debate was continued by Mr. ‘Hepburn (Iowa), who severely criticised Mr. Wheelcr's speech upon the late Secretary of War, and declared that he could not tamely submit to have the meu who were embalmed the hearts of their countrymen and whose memory revered, derided by such as the gentleman from Alabama, ‘He then yielded to Mr. Kelley (Pa,), who read. the following LETTER WRITTEN BY MR, STANTON to Rev. H. Dyer, under date of November 18th, 1862: “Your note of the 11th inst, has re- mained unanswered because of the pressure of business, which lett me neither time nor strength to respond. When Gen.

Nearly # month—time enough to have ad a victorious centy rae lost by his dis- obedience of orders. hen his creatures and those who are enemies of the country under- took to apologize for his delay by the false pre- tence that he needed supplies that were held from him by the War department, my duty to the country required the exposure ot the false- hood, and I demanded areport on the subject from’ the general-in-chiet. It is not my fault that he was not removed before the New York election, after his disobedience of orders. In respect toany combination by Mr. Chase, Mr. Seward and myself against Gen, McClellan, it 4g utterly false. For reasons noi necessary’ to mention, fire and water wouid us soon combine.

In re- spect to the imputation of selfish orambitious motives, denial is needless. ‘Those who made the imputation do it ignorant of my principles of action or with prejudiced feeliugs, und like all other public men I must expect and patiently bear misconstruction and also report. in respect to the present condition of affairs all Ican say is that the whole power of the gov- ernment is being put forth with more vigor, nd, I think, more earnestness on the part of military, commanders than at any. tormer perlod.

District in Congress. OPPOSITION TO THREE OF THE NOMINATIONS FOR JUSTICES OF THE PEACE. The Senate District committee at their regu- lar meeting to-day confined their attention to the pending nominations for justices of the peace. There is pretty determined opposition to the confirmation of three of the nominations, partly, as 1t appears, on the grounds of personal hostility. Charges have been laid before the committee, It has been stated to the commit- tee that unless the justices are confirmed seve- ral hundred cases pending before them will be delayed, to the annoyauce and cost of the par- ties interested. ‘The discussion of the pending justices pro- gressed until 12 o'clock, when the committee adjourned without taking action upon either of the cases, Objections have been made to the confirmation of Messrs. Clarke, Oliver a based upon grounds of personal nature upon allegations of any dereliction of public duty, In one or two cases the charges relate to family disagreements. The existing terms of the justices of the peace will expire by limita- tion to-morrow. The law fixing their tenure makes it four years and does not contain the usual clause authorizing them to continue the functions of their offics until their successors are appointed and qualified. Hence the legal terms of the justices will expire to-morrow, as the four years of their appointment will then be up, and business pending before them will have to go over until the Senate sees fit to con- fer new terms by confirming the appointee: THE MATTHEWS CASE NOT TAKEN UP. At was the intention of te committee to take up the Matthews nomination, but as the cases of the justices consumed all the forenvon it was not reaches THE CITY POST OFFICE SITE. Mr. Dibble, the chairman of the House pub- lic buildings and grounds committee, is pre- paring abillfor the purchase of the present Site of the city post office.
