A day or two ago a ininority of the House public buildings and grounds committee got permission to submit their views concerning the purchase of a site for the proposed city post office for Washington. The report wasto be signed by those members of the committee who. were opposed to the purchase of the present site— Louisiana avenue and 7th street, A meetiug of the committee was held to-day, and it was found that the situation was compli- cated. It developed that probably a majority of the committee were opposed to the present site; but when it came to naming another site they were divided between the Le Droit block, the City Hall site and other localities and could agree to nothing. Though it was not quite a majority of the committee that signed Mr. Dibble’s bili to pur- chase the present site there were more in favor of that than of any other. A very long session Wwas_held to-day, running far into the session of the House, but no agreement could be reached. When they finally adjourned it was with the understanding that all action should be sus- pended until they could hold another meeting. on Friday next, when they hope to come toan understanding, making but one report, Mr. Dibbie’s bill has already been reported to the House with the approval of a majority of the meeting at which it was adopted, and it is, in fact, the majority report. ‘The meeting to-day was for the purpose of getting the unanimous approval of the commitiee,if possible, so as not to endanger the bill by internai disagreements. oo A Call on the Civil Service Commis- sioners. THE VETERANS’ RIGHTS ASSOCIATION AND COMMISSIONER BLACK. Major Burke aud Mr. Odell, of the Veterans’ Rights association, yesterday called at the rooms of the civil service commission and con- sulted Commissioner Uberly respecting charges which their association had filed with the Pres- ident, but upon which the President has, as yet, taken neaction. Mr, Oberly stated to them that it woutd be useless to file the same charges with the commission and ask their opinion, be- cause undoubtedly the President would in due time refer the entire subject to them for report. The charge made against the civil service com- mission and Gen. Black is that the entire list of eligibles for certain vacancies was furnished by the commission, and used by Gen. Black in making bis selections. The charge relates to the appointment of 160 special examiners. In order to comply with the law, it is stated at the civil service commission rooms, the whole list had to be furnished to Gen. Black, as there Were enough Vacancies to require it, see Society. Mrs. Cleveland’s mid-day reception has be- come the leading event of the season. The ‘White House is so cool. and the manner of con- ducting afBairs there is so agreeable to every one that the occasion grows more and more in favor every day. Mrs, Clevelan?’s callers enjoy the perfect freedom of the drawing-rooms, and have no more restraint upon them than ‘they would in the parlor of any private person. Mrs. Cleveland received without assistance, and wore # becoming dress of cream Spanish lace over white Chinese silk. The ladies formed Pleasant groups about the rooms. A few of them calling were Dr. and Mrs. Glesey, Mrs. John W, Foster, Miss Foster, Mrs. Jeremiah Wilson, Mrs. E. 8. Youmans, Mrs. Denor, Mrs. Towner, Miss Denver, Mrs, Symes, Mra. ‘Nord- hoff, Mrs, Cheatham,’ Mrs. Acklen, the Misses Goodman and Dr. Milburn. ‘The photograph of Mrs. Cleveland that is now seen in shop windows {s soon to be superseded by one taken since her marriage. The present Picture is copied from _a Buffalo likeness, taken When she was Miss Folsom and a school girl. Mrs. Cleveland has had a number of sittings, and has just decided upon one tobe printed, which will shortly appear. Baron and Baroness Rosen have arrived from New York and are at the Russian legation, and Were present at Mr. Iswolsky’s country club dinner last evening.

KIRKPATRICK’S PETITION. Mr. Plumb presented the petition ot John A. Kirkpatrick—a pension bill in whose favor had been vetoed. The petition was read in full. He asits the Senate to do him a small act of Justice and pass the bill over the veto. It was evident, he said, that in vetoing this bill the President had relinquished his office or made himself “merely the mouth piece of some quill- driving slave of that circumlocution shop, the pension olfice.”, “Ir the President had read the papers he never would have been so silly.” He a] peals to Congress “against the malignant injustice of the President,’ Relerred to the coliuittee on pensions, THE RIVER AND HARBOR BILL. The Senate then resumed consideration of amendments to the river and harbor bill—the pending question being an amendment appro- priating $150,000 for the purchase of Sturgeon.

MR, HEWITT AND THE ROLL-CALL ON THE BAR- THOLDI STATUE AMENDMENT, After the reading of the journal Mr. Hewitt, of New York, rose tomake an explanation in regard to the roli-cail on the adoption of the Burthold! statue amendment on ‘Thursday last. Al the close of the roll-call, he said, it had been remarked that the amendment had been lost by reason of the absence of certain New York members, and Mesers. T. J. Campbell, Felix Campbell, Bliss and Mahoney had been’ men- tioned as the abseutees. He did not see the Kecord until Friday afternoon while he was on his way to New York. He found in the Record that the four gentiemen mentioned were re- corded as voting in the ailirmative. He was somewhat surprised, and he remarked'to some gentlemen, among them, he believed, the acting editor of the Wushiugton Post, that his impres- sion had been otherwise. On his return to Washington he examined the tally sheets and und that the four gentlemen were record: AS a matler of course that would be conclusive us to the record and conclusive as to bis own opinion, He was sorry that be bad been in aby Way the means of causing these enilemen any unuoyance, and he made this explanation in Justice to them, ONE CAMPBELL VOTED AND ONE DID Nor. T. J. Campbeil stated that he hud been in the House on Thursday, and had voted for the amendment. The Speuker said that during the roll-call there had been considerable confusion upon the floor. The chair was advised that Mr. Felix Campbell had not been at the Capitol, und, therelore, iad not voted. There were font ‘Cainpbells” In the House, and some other enUeman bad undoubtedly answered to Feilx jampbell’s na:ne, Felix Campbell stated that he had been in Brooklyn upon Thursday, having arranged to secure @ pair before he leit’ Washington. He had made uo request of the tally clerk or any- body else tohave his vote recorded. WHAT MR, BLISS SAYS, Mr. Bliss suid that he had not been present at the Ume the vote was taken on Thursday, though he had been in the House nearly all the day. He bad made no request of anybody to have his vote recorded. Had he been present he would have voted for the amendment, ‘The matter was then dropped. TWENTY-ONE VETO MESSAGES, The Speaker laid before the House the twen- ty-one veto messages transmitted by the Presi- dent yesterday. ‘The first message read was referred, without comment, to tue coumittee on invalid peu- sions, but the disposition of the next messuge, Yetoing the bill granting a pension to Edwin Of Harrington, consumed more time. Mr. Matson, of Indian, moved ‘its reference, pending which Mr. Holmes, of Iowa, statin, that the reference of the bill would bé the en of it, moved that its consideration be postponed until Friday next, ‘This motion being defeated—yeas 98, nays 121—Mr. Burrows, of Michigan, moved to amend Mr, Mutson’s motion by adding instruc- Uons, requiriug the committee on invalid pen- slons to report the bill and message buck on riday. Mr. Mateeu hoped that this would not be done. He would see no good reason why this Dill shoul. Je singled out for report on Friday trom amozig the number of vetoed bills before the comn:i‘tee. ‘Mr, Burrows could not see that the committee was inclined to act very diligently on the veto messages; he did not think the instructions to Teport back a special bill would greatly inter- Jere with the purpose of the committee as to the balance. ATTACKING THE VETO POLICY OF THE PRESI- DENT. Mr. Jackson (Pa.) attacked the veto policy of the President:who, he declared, was not actu- ated by any regard for the worth and merit of private pension bills. His reason for vetoing The bills was not that they Were unworthy. Hs reason was apparent on the face of his mes- sages. He was in sympathy with a party oj posed to pensioning Union soldiers, and he did hot propose that any Union soldier should be pensioned if he could avoid it. It was said that the President meant right. He did mean right—to please a certain element in the coun- try—but mot right 10 please honest, loyal ople. Pir. MeMillin—The present President has sigued more private pension bills than any other President In the same space of time. ‘Mr, Juckson—And he has vetoed ten times more good ones than all other Presidents put to- ether. ‘ur, Perkins addressed himself to a considera- ton of the pending messaye and criticised the position taken by tne President, that the gov- ernment should not assure its soldiers against quarrelsome propensities or unprovoked as- saults, FAIR PLAY FOR THE PRESIDENT. ‘Mr. Matson thought that the messages should be considered carefully. Gentlemen on the other side seemed anxious to get at the Presi- dent. Democrats were determined that the President should have fair play, and they would stand by that position. [Applause.] it was not fair play wo the President to undertake ‘House that it was the duty of the President to abdicate. bis office in favor of the majority of the committee on invalid pen- mons.

Mr. Burrows motion to instruct was lost— yeas 109 nays 184; and the message was re- ferred to the comunittee on invalid pensions. THE NEXT MESSAGE was one vetoing a bill grauting @ pension to Catherine McCarty. Mr. Watson moved its reference to the committee on invalid pen- sions and Mr. Browne moved Instructions re- quiring the committee to report It back on or beiore next Monday. MR. BROWNE CRITICISES THE PRESIDENT. Mr. Browne criticised the action of the Presi- dent, aud invoked God’s merey on aman who had the heart to veto a bill for the relief of the widow of a man who died in Ine of duty te his country, He sarcas- Meally retlected upon the manner in which the experienced soldier, the commander in chief of the army, treated bis comrades, His excellency belonged to that class of men who, during the war, were airaid of nothing but danger; but now he stood valorously, armed cap-a-ple, with vetoes in his hand between the unfortunate soldiers and the Treasury of the United States.

In the Senate to-day Mr. Blackburn reported from the District committee the House bill to appropriate $110,000 tor a bridge across the Eastern Branch in place of the old burnt bridge ut the foot of Penusylvania avenue east. The bill directs the Secretary of War to cause a sur- vey of the river to be made to determine the length, width and height of said bridge, and thereupon advertise tor plans and prices tor its construction in one or more daily newspapers publisned in Washington, New York, Cleve- iand, Detroit, Philadeiphia, Chicago and Rich- mond.

In the Senate to-day Mr. Plumb submitted a letter trom James Kirkpatrick complaining of the President's “malignity” in vetoing his pen- sion vill and asking that it be passed over the veto, The letter was @ bitter assault upon the President,and no matter what merits the bill might bave had, killed it, tor democrats, alter heuring it read, said they would take Ds Lo see that Kirkpatrick’s bill should not pass. PROMOTIONS IN THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY. Senator Manderson, from the committee on military affairs, to-day reported tavorably the bill providing that assistant surgeons of the army appolnted under the act approved July 28, 1866, who have served twenty years, shail be nominated and, by and with the advice aud consent of the Senate, appointed to the office of surgeon, with the rank of major, to date from the completion of such service. NOMINATIONS AND CONFIRMATIONS, The President yesterday nominated, in pur- stance of the recent act of Congress, Fitz Johr Porter to be colonel in the reguiar army, and Capt. Theodore Schwan, of the 11th infantry, to be assistant adjutant general with the rank of major. ‘The Senate in executivesession confirmed the nominations of Hugh S. Thompson for Assist- ant Secretary of the Treasury and H. J. Winn, Ppostnaster at Birmingham, Ala. The execu- tive session lasted only a few minutes, the Sen- ators not being able to stand the pressure of the weather with closed dvors, LIVELY DEBATE IN THE SENATE. The provision of the river and harbor bill for the purchase of the Sturgeon bay and Lake Michigan ship canal, was warmly debated ail the afternoon in the Senate yesterday, Messrs, idinunds aud Ingalls opposing it and Messrs, MeMillan and Conger advocating it, Mr. Con- ger si reagtically remarked that it was a great pity Mr. Ingails could not get a froi his arduous duties on the District committee that he inizht give the benefit of bis erudition to the commerce committee.

THE CONTEST IN THE HOUSE TO-DAY. The action of the democrats in the House to- day concerning the vetoed pension bills indi- cated very clearly that the party intends to stand by the President, and that there is no chance to pass any of the bills over his veto. The republicans attempted to pass the bill sent in yesterday over the veto without reference to the committee. Nearly the whole day was oc- cupied in fighting over the question, the yeas and nays being called trequenly. The votes tollowed party lines each time, and the effort to get the bill up for consideration failed each tune. ————— e+ —____ Pay for Pavy’s Widow. A REMINISCENCE OF THE GREELY EXPEDITION The deficiency bill now under consideration in the House contains a provision allowing Lilla M. Pavy, widow of Dr. Octave Pavy, of the Greely expedition, the balance of pay found due him on account of the fiscal year 1884 and prior years, amounting to $2,829. The House committee on pensions has already reported favorably a bill to place Mrs. Pavy on the pen- sion list. In its report the committee says that while Dr. Pavy was not regularly enlisted with the Greely expedition, Lieut. Greely con- tracted with him at God’ Haven, Greenland, to go with the party as its surgeon, and that’he acted in that capacity until June 30, 1883, when the contract wus annulled. August 9, 1883, Pavy was placed under arrest and re- mained so unl he died of starvation June 6, 1884, The report says that the cause of his arrest will probably never be kuown, but that although the contiact had been annulled and the surgeon was under arrest he continued to exercise the duties of his office until his death. ‘The committee finally comes to the conclusion that there Was an implied contract and that Mrs, Pavy ought to have a pension. Mrs. Pavy, who has been teaching school near Cincihnatl for several years, has gone to Europe, ——____+e+______ Senator Payne's Case. MESSRS, LOGAN, EVARTS AND TELLER WILL EX- PLAIN WHY THEY OPPOSED INVESTIGATION. ‘It is understood that three reports on the case of Senator Payne will be made by the Sen- ate committee.
