The Spanish govern- ment had acepted with gratitude these humanitary good ofl. ees. What it did not ‘accept, because it conid aot accept them, were all he,bases upon which they were founded, bases wich, evidently, as it now appears, conatituted the essential condition of the olfer, ‘The Spanish government could not Accept these bases, the first of which Was the independence of Cuba, becatise, even If they had wished it, it was not within their competence to nssent to a dismemberment of the territory of this monarchy without the permission or anthorization of the Cortes, But the ( far from per- Pome ah ony ast george , mauitested, by a unanimor resolution of thelr permament commission, that they were ready to lend their enure support to the government ta an elevated and dignified policy in the Cuban question, calcu. lated to preserve the integrity of the territory and national honor, and were disposed to convoke the national represen tatives to strengthen the action of the government, ‘The plorable © the array arise when tl ‘0 operation Spanish governinent, nevertheless, as I have already said, bad accepted’ the good ofices, hoping. that, in ‘the first “place, they — wor be ~ exercised by the government ' of tne United States using their influence with the promoters of the insurrection who had songht refuge in the territory of that republic to induce the fusurgente to lay down their arms. The Spanish govern- iment proposed, spontanoonsly, to present to the Constituent Cortes, for their deliberation, In accord with the Deputies of the island, measures which shou'd tend to give to the Cubana the liberties their condition may require in harmony with Hose proclaimed in Spain—a complete amnesty for thove who Lave fuught; against the mother country, the gradual emancipation of ‘the slaves, and the right of the free to hold public offices and to share in making the laws. The human- itary good offices were accepted with gratitude upon thesa bases. If the United States now withdraws them it i apparently becaase they consider as an inflexibie bams of auy negotiation the Deciaration of Independence, to which neither the respect which the government professes to the constitution of Spain nor other consideration not leas tm- riant permits us w accede, But, as the oiler of good offices is being withdrawn, the Spanish xoverament can do no less than consider the bases and conclusions on which theygwere fonnded as having passed out of view. This is sullici@ht to cause the Spanish government to recognize the fuirness of the government of the nited States ana the respect which 18 dine to the sovereignty of a people which has been ite friend and ally from the beginning of its glorious history. Your Excellency, moreover, observes, in ending your note, that while the President of the republic reserves bis liverty of action, ae will be bappy if he can contribute in anything to the puctiication of Cuoa~ a resuit equally advantageous tothe foterest of America and Spain, His frank and noble decla- ration is extremely satisfactory, and I beg thet your Exo lency will present to the President the thanks of the Spauish government.

Representative Mungen’s Late Speech—Un- warranted Attack Upon Senator Sumner, In the House to-day Mr. Dawes took Mr. Mungen, and n order to increase of, Ohio, to task for a speech which appeared in the columns of the Globe of last Sunday. The speech was not dehyered in the House, but made its way into the Globe by Mungen obtaining Ieave to print some remarks on Cuba, Jc 18 generally bitter on the policy of the adiwinistration towarda Cuva and particularly personal towards Seaator Sumue! Mungen adverts to bim in terms that are any- thing but ecnoice or pariiamentary. [t was this part of the speech that drew tne attention of Mr. Dawes, and caus i him to offer a resolution to-day directing the Comuittee on Kules to inquire into the propriety of censuring Mr. Mungen for violating tie privilege of the House. Mungen made a defence of himself, and, while pitching into Sumner, disdained anything offensive or persoval in big remarks. The resolution, however, was adopted, 23 @ iarge ma- jority of the Rouse, democrats as weil as republicans, regard the speech as a departure not only from the rules of parliamentary debate, but from rules of decency. The portions of the speech which called forth Mr. Dawes? resolution were tnose in which he alludes to Mr. Sumner and compares him to the eunuchs of history. He quotes from history such characters as rulers of the Byzantine empire, and compares them to Sumner. Very mucn of the speech is uafit for print and Mungen could not have ville and see Pettis again on not at home, apd he did not see him, delivered it in the House, The Sale of Cadetships—Congressman Pettis’ Explanation. 8. Newton Pettis, who Was accused of selling out a cadetship while a member of the Fortreth Con- gress, appeared before tne Committee on Military Affairs today with Mr. Bishop, the father of the boy who was appointed. The latter was examined by the committee and stated that he was a resident ot the Twentieth Congressional district of Pennsylva> nia; that he was anxious to get his son appointed at West Pomt and that he sent a man named Bloss to the Franklin Convention that nominated a member of Congress for the district, with instruc- tions that he should procure if possible the appoint- ment of his son to West Point from whoever was nominated to Congress. He told Bioss he would give $500 for the place. Bloss went to Franklin. After Mr, Pettis was nominated he came and saw him, but returved to Mr. Bishop and reported that he had not effected anything. Shortly after- ward Lishop asked Bloss to go to Meade- the subject. He went, but returned, and stated that Petils was A week or 80 after election Mr. Derrickson came to Titusviile, where Bishop resides, and called on bim. He said he heard that Bishop waated to have bis son ap- potted to West Potat. Derrickson said he was the intimate friend of Pettis; that he had expended and became responsible for moneys legitimately ex- penaed on the canvass, and had expected to have his own son appointed to West Point. If Bishop would contribute to the payment of this money so expended he (Derrickson) would take his buy out of the way and use his influence with Pettis in behalf of Bishop's son being appointed. Bishop asked what the expenses amounted to, Derrickson replied $800, whereupon Bishop agreed to make a contribution to this amount to the party aud ciosed the under- standing upon that basis. Bishop stated to the commiitee that he never gave Pettls any note or paper of any kind connected with this trans- action, vor received any from Pettis, nor never had any eae Fee or communication whatever with Pettis touchtag tue matier. “Just before Pettis lett for Washington, to attend the meetiug of Con- gress, Bishop says he met bim in Meadville, and stated that he had made an arrangement with Mr. Derrickson, when Pettis replied that he would have nothing to do with. it, wor should any money of that character ever come into his pockeis. Bishop stated to the committee that he never gave Pettis a note nor never paid him a dollar of money. Mr. Pertis, in appearing before the committee, stated that he had never recelved a dollar from Bishop or any note or security; that Bloss had offered him $500 for the cadetship, which he flatiy refused, teiling him tbat of all the men he had appointea to places upon his recommendation he had never been paid a dollar, He also stated that he did not see Bloss at Meadville. Hie said he never gave Mr. Derrickson @ note that Bisbop had given him, for he never gave him one. Mr. White, the editor of the paper at Meadeville, where the charge was made, Mr. Pettis said, was his personal enemy and had been maliguing uim for tree years, but he never took any notice of him. Holmes E. Ofly, Chief Clerk of the Navy Depart- | Ment, and Commander Jewitt, of the navy, were before the committee relative to the appointment of Commander Upsham’s son to the Naval Academy, but (hey said they did not know anything about it, Toe following card from General J, H.

The great sensation in the Senate to-day was CoukMng’s speech on New York's attempted revo- tion of its ratification of the fifteenth amendment, ‘ne New York Senator had nis speech prepared after carefulystudy of tue whole question, and mauy Sena- tors knew of bis intention to discuss the subject, It was therefore looked forward to with no little in- terest.

At ite conclusion three-Jourths of the Sena- tors present crowded about his seat and in the warmest manner tendered their congratulations, Conkling decidedly made a great sensation, both on the floor and in the galieries.

Members in usklog leave very frequently had prefaced their re- quest witi a Statement Liat it Was elther on some abstract subject or hadenot personal refereuce. Whether pubiicly stated or not, each member asked such permission under the implied assurance that whatever he might have printed woulu not be lu violation of the rules of the House, much less in vio- lution of common decency. ‘The speech reterred to he regarded as not only iu violation of the ruies by reflecting on & member of the Sevate, but in vioin- tion of common decency. If ib were allowed to pass unnociced it wouid be a disgrace to the House und a surrender of the Glove to be a channel of per- sonal abuse jor the conveyance of mawer which he would ve indiciuble ior at common law for in- decency. Mr. Woop, (dem.) of N. Y., suggested that the House, belore being called upon to vole ou the reso- Jution, should Dave the mater which 13 objected to placed belore 1b. Mr. DaWés sald he had purposely drawn the pre- amble and resolution su as to avoid incorporaung in ib the language which ne bimsell alleged to ve tov indecent to go into the Globe. Mr. Cox, (dem ) of N. Y., thought the geutleman froin Massachusetts Was entitied to the thanks oi tue House for bringing before it the avuse of print- ing in the Glove speeches that were not delivered in the House, It oughe to be reformed so wnat the ae- bates in the House should become real devates and not mere written essays, Mr. DAWES remarked, further, that to let the mat- ter remaim unnoticed Would have been bo say fo Lae country there was nothing too jadecent or proper for the House to induize in. jie thought 1 due to ihe Speaker, Who Was held responsibie lor Lae matn- tenance of propriety in debate, to show that that speoca which wus going tuto the stereotyped pages of tae Globe was uot delivered in the House, aad That as soon as the attention of the House was drawn to its characver the flouse had justrucied the Cout- mnittee on Kules to inquire wuecher it was HOU In Viv- jauion of the rules. Mr. MUNGEN, (dem.) of Outo, sald that in one sense he was considerably obliged to the onvoravie gea- tleman from Massachusetts for giving ola w lice notoriety waich he would not perhaps onerwise have. He disciaimed any intention to violate tie rules of the House or to be disrespectful to the speaker, and he defied the gcutieman from Massu- chusetts to point out any objectionable passage ia his speech. "He had read & sentence from the speeca declaring what anything be should say had no reier- ence to any act or word of dir, Sumner tu the Senate, but to his puvlic lectures and speeches. He stood here as the representative of is Constituents, and he demanded the right of free speech under tue coa- stitution, He would not perimit any one to atrempt to deprive him of tie right Lo discuss pubic ques: tious. ‘There was no foul or vulgar language m that speech. Was tt a violation of the ruies of the Thouse to quote from the Classics or from Gibbon + df the gentieman from Massachus2tts or nls Iriend, the Senator, chose to make an application of hts re- marks he (Mr. Mungen) was not to ve held responsivie for that. Ifthe remarks fitied the Senator lec uim wear them, He had authority iu common report for saying——(restraining himself). But he woutd nov say What he Was about to say; he might be cailed to order if he did. As to disgraceful scenes in the House, did the gentieman frou Massachusetts forget tue scene in tue last Congress at tne counting of the Presidential votey Did the gentiemau irom Mazsa- chusetts recoilect nothing about the castigaliva waich Tristram burgess gave to John Ranavipt, of Koanoke? That was New England authority, and he took 1: a8 anexample for anything be might have said. Would this Louse gag him ‘in discussing the doctrines of an impertinent lecturer who was crau- ming tis theories and M18 Miogival, damnable a trines on the people of the North? Had he mov we right to discuss tuem and to show their absurdity ? ‘That presumptuous lecturer and rhetoriciaa put utw- sel: up as the God and moratity champion of tac God and moraiity pariy of joyalty! In tus lecture on “vaste” he referred to tne nobility of ancient Yo- jand as an exampie of What ne denominated ‘caste;” to Russia of the present day as an example of pro- gress ana civilization. tle (Mr, Mungen) had spoken of that im his speech. What was that Russian civil: zation wii which the lecturer Was so much in love (twas a monstrous communisin ou the peasantry, who were herded togetner by thouvands wiih wuom Inartiage Was uakuowWa, and among Whom there Was nothing bub degradation and bestiality. ‘nat champion of high moral ideas was the man who wWaS if love witu chat monstrous communis; aud because he (Mr. Mungen) ad atiuded to Eusebius and to men who had lived wader cie governments of Constantius, ana Honorius and Arcalins durmag the decline of the Roman Empire and during the arty and ludecent Byzantine empires, he was charge violating tue rales of the House. When had the wait geniiemian froui Massacauseiis become so fasudious? Way had he not called uis colleagues to order when tu were abusing President Johnson? He (Mr. Mungen) had spoken of our present giited President, and he reiterated the axsection, that be was a giite President; but if he ad violaivd the rales by sayiag 80 he wouid take it back. He ussured the House tbat he had been reapectiut to’ 1b im that speech; but ue would not allow some new raie of etiquette to forvid hin criticising the sayings Oo; & Man who was eter nally thrusting himself in tue Jace of everybody with lus Impudence. Mr. DaWES called Mr, Mungen to order. He did not think 1% proper to speak of the impudence of Senators. Mr. MUNGEN—-I speak of him not as a Senator, but asa public lecturer. 1 take issue with the gentle- man on that point, and L leave 16 to the tiouse. ‘Vhe SPEAKER—The Chair rules that the language 18 uDparliamentary and out of order. Mr. MUNGEN--Very Weil, tien; 1 will say that it is not impudent, 1f that will be more acceptable. (Laughter.) Mr. Munyen went on to argue tiat he Had not becu guilty of a violation of tue rules of the House, and he scorued tne mnputauon of bewye guilty of any inaeceavy. He was periecuy willing to have the matter referred to the Committee on Rules, Mr. SCHENCK, (rep.) of Ohio, drew a sketch of the style of debate that las grown up im the House, representing Mr. Jones, of one State, sitting down in his room nibbling his pea, scratching nis head and wriung an essay, while Mr. Smith, of another State, 18 sitting m his room in another hotel or boarding house, cudgelling tia bratus to get our an essay On another subject, aud these were brought to the House and read, or were printed without being read and passed im the country for debate. He doubted whether speecnes published in that way came properly witnin the scope of that clause of the constitution which provides that no Senator or Member shall ve culled to account eisewhere for words spoken in acbate. This aiscassion was further participated in by Messrs. Gartield, Jones ot Kentucl Voorl Farnsworth and Dawes, and then the resolution was agreed to, SPECIAL NAVAL APPROPRIATION BILL. Mr. MBYERS, (rep.) Of Pa., trom the conference committee ou the special naval appropriation vil) reported that the committee had agreed to tix appropriation at two millions. He explained that the bill, as tt passed the House, gave 4 milion for the Bureau of Construction and Kepaly, and hall a tatillon for tue Bureau of Steam Engweermg. The committee had agreed to ase the amouut to a million and a bali for construction, leaving sti! bait a iniiiion for steam engineering. ‘These suis were absolutely necessary lo put in course of compietion tmuany vesseis DOW undergolug repairs. ‘iousands Of ten Whose Work Was How suspended at the varl- ous yards would again lave employment, Ine report was adopted. PERSONAL EXPLANATION, Mr. Vooruges, (detm.) of lad, rising to a por sonal explanation, referred to an istuuation in Mr, Benton's speech turdity last, coupling ys with we Knights of the Goidea Circie, and todigaaully denied wil counection with secret political organtad tions. * DISTILLERS' TAX. Mr, SARGENT asked leave to utter a resolution ine structing the Committee of Ways and Means to iN- quire into the expediency of providing separate | jegisiatioa for the taxauion of fruit disuliaiou, and especially whether tne latter inverest cannot be pro- perly relieved o1 the capacity aud per qiem tax aod Of regulations not properly applicabie thereto, Mr. McCancrity, rep.) of N.

The amendment offered by Mr. Arneil, (rep.) of Pa., last Saturday, appropriating $14,500 for the Bureau of Education, elicited quite a lengthy and attimes amusing discussion, Finally Mr. Dawes ‘Was compelted to move that the comiittee rise, In order that Le might move in the House to close de- vate.
