It was to be shot and shell proof, and it was necessary that the Department should have the plan before it. Mr. Stockton, (dem.) of N.J.,said a plan was fur- pished the Department when the contract was made. Mr. Huntex said he was informed the plan could not succeed. He was informed that the gun invented by the Senator from New Jersey had sent a ball threugh the work of Mr. Stevens, Mr. Stockton said he was willing to amend the resolu- tion, s0 as to provide that the war steamer should be Proof against any shot or shell now used in the navy. Mr. Srwanp followed in defence of the work, and par- ticularly urged the importance of defending the harbor of New York. Messrs. Stockton and Husren continued the debate. Mr. Marnony, (dem.) of Fa., warmly advocated the passage of the resolution. He thought the money to be expended could not be better than in testing the rand proposition of supplying our harbors with a float- ices whieh cannot be destroyed by shot or shell. Mr. Tovcry, (dem.) of Conn., followed, contending that the government was bound, in good faith, to carry out the contract.

One of the amendments of the Committee on Ways and Means pending was to charge a sei on the coinage of gold in the mint and each of i ches, at @ rate or rates to be established from time to time by the Secretary of the Treasury, not to exceed, in his judg- ment, the actual expense of the coinage at the said mint or branch mint, respectively, provided the same shall not be more than one per centum on the amount coined. Mr. Broo whig) of N.Y., said mo more important sub- ject could come before the House than that of the currency, and this which the Committee of Ways and Means propose. He had no hesitation in ayowing-that i would reverse the whole policy of our country, and the gold and silver productions of Califc and Mex! and South America, to the mint of England, there to coined, and there to have the stamp of the British Sove, | reign impressed upon it. The bill proposed pri ally a premium of one per cent to export gold and silver Ito England=a more preposterous measure was never before attempted. Tho policy of England is to import bullion instead of coin, and little or no coin goes there from this country. but what recoives the British stamp. He op- posed the amendment at some length, entered into’ a general discussion of the currency question,.and called upon the House to hesitate long before they acted upon a proposition fraught with so much interest to thé mone- tary affairs of the country. aa . ir. Hayrston (dem. ) of Ala., replied, saying the,gentle- | man’s statement is incorrect. as to seignorage which is | charged in every country in the world. The amendment | was intended to supersede all other mint charges. Mr. Mansiact.

He was visiting his brother-in-law, Mr. Vining, residing in that town. who is the occupant of a portion of land recently purchased from Mr. Van Rensselaer, In the course of the night the inmates of the house were awakened by the noise of a party of men outside, who were talking loudly and making a disturbance, Mr, Wait went out to see what was the matter, followed by Mr. Vining. He had only advanced a few steps, when one of a gang of disguised anti-renters, evidently mistaking him for Mr, Vining, against whem their wrath was excited, fired at him with a gun loaded with ball and slugs, and shot him down, the charge entering his arm and back—he now lies in a critical condition, Several slugs have been extracted from the wound, but the surgeon in attendance says that the wound is a very dangerous one.

BY MAIL. Our Washington Correspondence. Wasninoton, June 14, 1892. President-Making in the House~-Mr. Genty y's SpeechmThe Business of Congress. It is only within the last few days that the public, at the public expense, havo been enlightened with the in- | side view of the whig revolutionary movement started in | @ Whig caucus in this city, some months ago. The speeches, last Saturday, of Mr. Cabell, of Florida, against Scott; and of Mr. Stanly, of N. C., in support of Scott, threw considerable light on the relative positions of the Southern and Northern factions of the whig party on this Presidential question. On striking the balance be- tween them, it is almost impossible to imagine how this national whig party can harmonize at Baltimore. Some of the Scott men are afraid ofa «plit—the leading Fillmore men threaten it openly aud aboveboard, if Scott is nominated without platform. But we have the example of 1848 before us. John M. Rotts and some others stood out for awhile, in the most irreconcileable hestility to the nomination of the Philadelphia slaughter- house, and the ungodly butchering of Henry Clay. But it was all gas and moonshine, So, we apprehend, it will be this tii Scott will be nominated, and with- out a platform; and though there may be some bluster- ing, it is about aa certain as that the spoils of the Trea- sury amount to fifty millions a year; that the mutin- eors against Scott will cave im. and ultimately fling up their bats for the whig ticket as lustily as in 1848, It may turn out better; but weare apt te conjecture the future from what has happened before. ‘The speech of Mr. Gentry, to-day, on the Presidential question, was a rouser. There bas not been such @ scene in the House this session. It seemed, as if by common consent, the fate of the whig party of the Union, and the action of the Whig National Convention, were all in his hands. The House was quiet as a church on the oc- casion of asermon by the bishop. A large number of strangers were on the floor, outside the bar, a good many Scott delegates to Baltimore among them as was ‘very plainly indicated by their long facos, ‘The attention of the House, the lobbies, and the galleries, to the whole speech, was such as we have never secn before in rofer- once to any speech, on any occasion upon any subject, for many years; and his treatment of Seward was thorough and terrible, and sharp as steel, Tn fact, if the rogramme of this speech is carried out by the Southern it must be set aside, or the great whig | itibly split into two parties or two fac. } a Scott faction, and » Southern eonsti- tutional faction; and euch will be the end of the great whig party, The ecene which followed was very much | | fort.
