The matter was entirely per- Sonal, not at all political, COLORED SECRET POLITICAL SOCIETIES. E. P.

THE LEGISLATIVE, ETC, APPROPRIATION BILL IN DANGER, ‘There is a strong opposition in the House to the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation ‘bill, which seems to promise its defeat. In fact, the House is in that frame of mind that itis hard to tell how anything is to bedone. To guard against the contingency of a failure of the bill, a resolution has been prepared extending the pro- visions of this year’s bill for six months, 80 as to guard against an extra session, ‘There will be an effort made to get appropriation bills turough by unanimous consent. Not y knows whether this Means an extra session or not, but most of the members seem to think it looks that way. sashes ata Bills Approved.

THE CASE OF LIEUT. POWELL—HIS ARRIVAL HERE. Licut. J. 8. Powell, who had the acceptance of his resignation from the signal corps revoked the other day on the ground of temporary insanity, 13 in the city and has reported at the signal ofie, in obedience to orders. ‘The pay department has re- ceived duplicate pay accounts from him for the Present month. Previous to his arrival here the oD officer of the department of the Platte was {nstructed by telegraph to cause his court-martial for this offense, but it will not be carried into effect, by reason of his presence. Be- fore a court-martial 1s convened the question of his sanity will probably be settled by a board, and unless it is shown that his pay accounts were duplicated as well as his nation submitted while laboring under an aberration of mind, a court-martial will follow.

He complained of the great and un- Warranted delay on the part of the House in send- ing to the Senate the great appropriation bills, and announced his settled deteriuination not to have them railroaded through the Senate. ‘The Senate shouid have the necessary time to give full consideration to them, and so should the Presi- dent. ‘The bill in reference to the fishery troubles had not yet been passed finally, and, if Congress.

Statements were thereupon made by Senators Hale and Allison showing the obstacles thrown in the way of legislation by the House, and inti- inating thelr opin.on of the impossibility of get- Ung through the necessary Dusiness of legislation before noon on the 4th of March, THE LABOR ARBITRATION BULL PASSED. At two o'clock, upon motion of Mr. Blair, the ‘House labor arbitration bill was taken up and was passed without amendment, THE ANTI-CONVICT LABOR BILL PASSED. ‘Upon motion of Mr. Blair, House bill to prevent the employment of convict or alien labo upon public buildings orpublic works or in the prepa- ration of material for public_buil or_public Works was taken up” and ‘without discussion OF amendment was passed, House of Representatives. ‘The House opened this morning with more con- fusion than on any day yet and apparently more bad feeling among the members. An attempt was made by Mr. Holman to save time by dispens- ing with the reading of the long journal of Satur- day, but Mr. Brady objected, aud the journal was read. The Speaker laid before the House a message from the President returning, without his ap- proval, the bill for the erection of a public build. ing at Portsmouth, Ohio. Referred to the com- mittee on public bufldings and grounds. Mr. Crisp (Ga.) asked unanimous consent to have the House non-concur in the Senate amendments to the Joint resolution for an investigation of the affairs of the Pacific raliroads. Mr. Strait (Minn.) objected, and the measure was referred to the committee on’ Pacitic railroads. Mr. Holman got recognition in order to move to dispense with the morning hour, Which was done, He then attempted to dispense ‘with the call of states for the introduction of bills, but failed, and the call was proceeded with, Mr. Wheeler (Ala) introdticed a Dill_appropri- ating 2150,000 for the construction of a counter- polse battery for the proteetion of cannon in coast defence.

In the matter of the passage of the appropriation bills, the present Congress was far behind any of its predecessors; and the House was brought face to face with the alternative thatthe pending bill and the deficiency bill must be hurried through under whip and spur under the five minute rule or they must be passed without consideration under a suspension of the rules; and the Senate was to be asked to do in less than four days what the House had not done in three months. Mr. Hiscock (N. Y.) inquired whether it was. Nae sible to pass the pending bill before Thursday if it was considered under the five minute rule. Mr. Cannon thought that if both sides acted in good faith the bill might be sent to the Senate to- morrow. He CRITICISED THE DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY for their failure to perform their promises to re- duce taxation and to pass revenue legislation. It was true that the country had been given some liverature in the shape of letters passing between the Speaker and the gentleman from Pennsylva- nia (Mr. Randall), but here were the last days of the session, without revenue legisla- tion, without a reduction of taxation, with- out’ the passage of the appropriation bills. He then proceeded to point out what he charac- terized the cheese-| lng system upon which the Dill was framed. ‘The gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Holman) was not to blame, the Leopard could not change his spots, The democratic party had made its reputation by cheese-paring, and it must Still posture before the country in that position. In conclusion, he appealed to his side of the House to give this bill a rupee consideration, and show ‘the country the it entertained, notwith- standing the tactics of the other side, to do the yublic business, PI ss in order. sir.

EXTRA FAY FOR NIGHT WORK OF GOVERNMENT "RINTRRS, In the Senate Mr, Culiom has offered an amend- ment to the defictency bill to appropriate $25,000 to pay the workmen employed exclusively on night work at the government printing office, per cent in addition to their regular pay.

Capitol Topics, THE NAVAL BILL AS IT PASSED THR HOUSE. After a long debate Saturday afternoon the House passed the naval appropriation bill, with Mr. Sayers’ amendment appropriating $2,470,000 for the construction of two swift double-bottomed steel cruisers, each of about 4,000 tons displace- ment, of the type of the Newark, except Dotlers and machinery, four of about 1,700 tons displace ment, of the type of gunboat No, 1, and one swift torpedo boat, sald vessels to cost altogether, ex- clusive of armament, not more than $4,950,000, providing that the Vessels shall be bullt Under con A WASTED NIGHT SESSION. ‘The House wasted the session Satuntay after ‘the passage of the naval bill, and the whole of the evening session, In a futile effort to dispose of the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill, Dut left the billat midnight exactly in tbe condition it was in before it was taken up. PACIFIC RAILROAD INVESTIGATION. The House committee on tic railroads to-day discussed the outlook for the Pacific resolution, and it was resolved that Mr. Crisp should ask the unanimous consent of the House to have the reso lution placed in conference. Later in the day Mr. Crisp did thls, but an objection cut him off and sent the resolution to the committer, “It is under= ‘stood that Mr. Crisp will be recognized to make a motion to pass the Ineasure Under suspension of the rules, Which is the last recourse of the friends of the resolution, NOMINATIONS CONFIRMED.
