a eee WASHINGTON. Bill to Enforce the Fifteenth Amendment. Additional Subsidy for the California and _ China Steamship Line. THE SENATE ARMY REDUCTION BILL The Funding Bill---Boutwell Sue- tained by the Senate. The National Bank Influence in the House. WAsninatox, Aprit 25, 1870. The Funding Bill—Secretary Boutwell Sus- tained by the Senate—The Sank Influence Developing Itself. ‘The Ways and Means Committee held a two bours seastongon the Funding bill to-day, and much anxiety was manifested among members and others to ascer- fain the conclusion which the committee had reached, As the members came out of the commit- tee room they were besieged by partics, who inquired eagerly what had been done. In reply they merely placed thetr fingers upon their lips, to indicatei that they had nothing to say. Telegrams came pouring im through the day from bankers in New York to ‘know the result of the deliberations of the committee, It was finally ascertained that while the committee had not taken a formal vote on any measure before them they had discarded the Senate bill and mapped out one of their own. The details of this measure could not be learned, but in @ general way the members of the committee state that it 1s favorable to the national vanks, and that the recommendations of the Secretary of the 'Trea- gury with regard to the payment of interest abroad ‘re disregarded. The Senate proposition on this point will be sustained at the meeting of the com- mittee to-morrow. It is understood that a formal vote will be taken on the bill proposed by General Schenck. The general impression seems to be that no measure for the funding of the debt can be matured that. will command the support of ‘the two Houses, What will please the House will probably be rejected by the Senate, and vice versa. The strength of the national bank interest is begin- ning to develop itself, especially in the House, Mem- bers from the West boast that no measure can go through that ts ininical to the banks. The same is also true cf the Southern members, The indteations are that the Senate will in the main sustain the Gecretary of the Treasury, while the House will stand by the banks. The Ways aud Means Couunittee will feport their bill this week. Reduction of the Army—Logan’s Bill Discarded by the Senate. The Senate Committee on Military Affairs to-day Completed their labors or the question of the reduc- tion of thearmy, and determined to discard the House bill and report substantially that presented by Senator Wilson in March last. The committee have made a few changes, making the date of reduction January instead of September, extending the time of Applications for honorable discharge to October instead of September. The filling of the heads of staff departments is Nxed to officers having the rank &nd pay of a colonel instead of a colonel of cavalry; the pay of a colonel shall not exceed $4,000, instead Of $4,500, and the pay of lieutenant colonel $3,600, instead of $4,000. The present pay of the army will be continued until June 1, 1871, and enlisted men shall not be employed as servants. ‘The bill will pro- bably be reported to-morrow. Mr. Blaine, of Maine, 1s making for himself a first lags reputation as Speaker. His method of making flecisions and of keeping order is something which neither Banks, the king of parliamentarians, nor Col- tax, the smiling master of the Jeffersonian Manual, could boast of. Mr. Blaine has a facile and varied method, which is greatly assisted by a non-retentive memory. Hecan within five minutes give two de- cisions on the same point, and each as dtametrically opposite as possible, With the most remarkable coolness he can devite “Yea” for Dawes, or Schenck, Or any other prominent republican, and ,““Nay” for Woodward, or Cox, or Eldridge, or any other demo- erat. He can pound his gavel with an energy that makes more rumpus than half a dozen Congress- Gieh gabbling together, but no order comes, no silence is restored. He can make twenty times in twenty minutes that awful threat of “calling the honorable gentlemen by name’? unless they take their seats; but the honorable gentlemen heed not the impending calamity, and go on with their walking and standing about the aisles as if the Speaker had never uttered the dire cognomenical menace. The fact is Mr. Speaker Blaine is not prov- ing himself the great man he was thought to be. He does not come up to the scratch by any sort of means. ‘He has not displayed the genius in the chair which his admirers fondly anticipated, and never did he show the fact more lamentably than to-day, during the hauling over the coals of members absent from the House on Friday evening last. A batch of these absentees, theoretically in the custody of the dreadful Sergeant-at-Arms, were called upon to give their excuses, and the House got into one of its cus- tomary muddles since Blaine’s advent to the Speaker's chair, and Blaine made things decidedly worse by his conflicting decisions, irresolute manner and spas- modic fits of daring and inconsistency. One minute he ruled one way and the next moment ruled pre- cisely the opposite. Whenever Dawes or Schenck asked permission to speak he was always in order, though others, talking precisely as much out of rule or within rule, were silenced by the tmpartial Speaker. Nearly two hours were wasted by the most impertinent gassing and buncombe, having about as much relation to the subject under discussion as the moon has to green cheese. If Mr. Blaine keeps on in this style his chances of re-election will be very bril- Mant by the end of the present Congress, ‘The California and China Mail Service. Postmaster General Creswell has addressed a setier to Senator Pamsey, chairman of the Post Office Committee. He says that in his annual report of last year he-calied the attention of Congress to the question of providing for an increase of service on the mail steamship route from San Francisco to Japan and China, on such terms ag under the cir- ewmstances would be just to the contractors and the government. He was then satisfied the period had arrived for establishing at least a semi-monthly steam communication with those countries in con- Junction with the greatly increased facitities of transportation across our Continent afforded by the completion of the Pacific Railroad, if we ‘Would preserve and extend the commercial, political, postal advantages, which the establishment of this service wis intended to secure to the government ‘and people of the United States. The valuable re- walts which have thus far attended the establishment Of this line of American steamers, and the great im- portance to our country of preserving and extending ‘ye commercial advantages already gained, together ‘with the well grounded apprehension that these ad- ‘wantages may be lost by a failure to make the neces- @ary provisions for the proper maintenance of the service, are the reasons which induce him tn the Present instance to depart from the rule he has adopted for his guidance in all matters of application to Congress for subsidies in aid: of steamship enter- prises, and to present the special reasons why this great national enterprise should be sustained by ad- 4ittonal governmental ald. This he does at some Rength, showing, among other things, the large in- Grease of the trade with Japan and China since the mervice was established, saying, in conclustot Unless the service is now increased its abaudonment must ‘Be considered as certain in case of foreign competition, which must be ied a8 being in ftelf — certainty, pro: je Ray room is left for it.

An amateur theatrical performance was given this evening at Wall’s Opera House by a number of the élite of Washington society for the benefit of the Soldiers and Savors’ Orphans’ Home. The play was the three act comedy of “Leap Year” and the farce of “Popping the Question.” The dramatis persone were Sir Solomon Solus, Mr.Roger Sherman; Captain Mouser, Mr. rhomas M. Hoi, son of Admiral Hof; Mr. Dimple, Mr. Janvier; Walker, General Curtis; Joseph, Mr. Eben Maynadier; John Thong, Mr. Montgomery Meigs, Jr., son of General Meigs; Diggs, Mr. Hill; Mrs. flowerby, Miss Jennie Schenck, daughter of General Schenck; Miss O'Leary, Mrs. General Ricketts; Miss Desperate, Mias detfet ughter of Captain Jeffers, of the navy; Mrs. Crisp, Miss Sallie Schenck, daughter of General Schenck; Susan, Miss Kitty McCarthy, daughter of Congressman McCarthy, of New York; Betty, Miss Beale, The tickets for the performance were sold to the friends aud admirers of the amateur performers, and the audience, which was very large, was com- posed of tle fashionable and distinguished people o1 the city. No others were admitted. The boxes were occupied by the President and family, General Sherman, the Secretary of War, Mr. Edward Thorn- ton, the British Minister; Secretary Robeson, and different members of the corps diplomatique. Among the audience was a large number of promi- nent oMcers of the army and navy, Senators and Members of the House, with a goodly sprinkling of the “oldest inhabitants,” “the first families.” The performers were well up in their parts and every- thing went off creditably, AS might be expected, the stage was strewn with bouquets, which were thrown in plentiful profusion by the partial auditors. Being the first occasion upon which the aristocraty has made its appearance upon the stage there was a general desire, growing out of curtos'ty, to see it, ‘but the canatlle was not allowed to put in an appear- ance. Executive Neminations, The following are the nominations of to-day:— Commodore 8. P. Lee, to be rear admiral; Captain Enoch G. Parrott, to be commodore ; Commander William T.

The Claim of a Citizen of Peru. ‘The bill reported by Mr. Sumner to-day authorizes. the Secretary of the Treasury to pay Estaban G. Mon- tana, a citizen of Peru, the sam of $67,040 in coin, being the amount awarded to him by the joint com- mittee at Lima, Peru, February 26, 1870, acting under ‘the Claims Convention between the United States and Pern, of December 4, 1868. Several days ago the President sent a message to Congress, with a letter from Secretary Fish, urging the passage of such a bail, on the ground that this would stimulate Peru to make the necessary appropriation to pay the awards In favor of American citizens. Water Communication Between Lake Michi- gan and the Mississippi. Governor Merrill, of Iowa; Governor Butler, of Nebraska, and Governor Fairchild, of Wisconsin, had @ hearing before the House Committee on Com- merce to-day. They are urging Congress to give the people a free water channel between the Mississippt river and Lake Michigan, via the Fox and Wisconsin rivers, which will cause a reduction of freight charges between the grain growing and grain con- suming States. There is every probability that the bill pending will pass, owing vo the strong desire of the West. The Fentan Scare in Canada. The telegraphic despatches forwarded from Toronto, professing to state information given by the govern- ment of the United States to the Canadian authori- ties with regard to the Fenians, or to the intentions of this government, are not to be relied upon. They appear to be prepared with the design of invariably misrepresenting this government, and are generally pure fiction. FORTY-FIRST CONGRESS. Second Session. WASHINGT, Aprii 25, 1870. THB LOUISVILLE CANAL. Mr. SHERMAN, (rep.) of Ohto, presented a petition of the Bourd of Aldermen and Councilmen of Cincin- nati relative to the Loulaville Canal, representing the injury to commerce from the new bridge across the Ohio river, opposite the falls, and the neceasity of greater promptness in the completion of the work on the enlargement of the Lousville Canal.

He sald that the Pay Department had pald out, in consequence of the war, more than a thousand millions of dollars, ‘and yet the total amount of loss to the government Would not exceed @ quarter of a million.

It {s satisfactory to know that Coroner Burns, of Jersey City, shows that he is determined to have an inquest in the case of poor Pat Lane which will be no mock inquiry, but which will satisfy the public mind. Whatever may be the verdict of the jury, public opinion is almost unanimous in con- demnation of the vutraze, and no amount of white- washing can relieve the parties implicated of the odiumgwhich will ever cleave to them in con- nection with this most unjustifiable out- rage—the latter term is too mild—ior in the opinion of many itis@ murder. People will hardly credit the fact that even newspapers have become apologists for the railroad company, and the conduc- tor and these sheets pronounce the affair an accl- dent, An attempt was «ven made to blast oy Laws reputation by the statement hat he was drunk on the night of the occurrence. This was effectually disposed of, how- ever, yesterday by Coroner Burns, who informed the jury that he had been intimat acquainted with Lane for years; that he never knew him to drink any liquor; that Lane and he had been on duty together as constabies in the Hudson County Court that he was in company with Lane on the day in question, and when they parted in the afternoon Lane was as sober and collected as usual. But admitting that he was intoxicated, then Parker's conduct can never be excused. ‘Coroner Burn, the jury (of which Hosea F, Clark, President of the Common Council 18 foreman) and several members of the press visited the scene yes- terhay. The Trauroad company was re- presented i Superintendent Jackson and Mr, George W.

The r stated that he witnessed ‘ eutire transaction.” Thé train was stopped on the bridge; Lane stepped off by the order of Parker, and, going directly across the track, stepped over the string- iece and went peng into the water, jot more than ten seconds elapsed from the moment he stepped off the car til he went over- board. Some one cried out to him to look out or he would tumble into the water, but Lane took no notice of the warning, nor did he speak a word. When he fell into the water the conductor jumped off and told him tw hold on there till a boat arrived; two boats were on hand within five minutes, but Lane had disappeared; the train stopped ten minutes after the occurrence, The fo1 ing statement would justify the infer- ence that e was a dowright fool, and actually hurried across the track for the purpose of jumping overboard, There was not a member of the jury who did not shake his in doubt at the story which Parker as an_ obliging, accommodating con- ductor most anxious for the safety of the passenger whom he had expelled in the darkness of night on a bridge where @ man unacquainted with its construc- tion would be left the alternative of being drowned orcut up by @ pagsing train. Lane, poor fellow, evidently took the risk of the former. There is & space of six and a half feet between the ties of the upand the down track, and Mr. Jackson laid stress on the fact that a man could wat in safety be- tween coe paasing eines as the bridge Ia covered over the entire distance.

IMODA,'S. J. In this connection General Sully speaks of a con- versation with Father Imoha, that no farther serious hiMlcuities need be apprehended from the-e Indians; that the smallpox had carried off large numbers of them, and the greater portion of the younger mem- bers of the tribe had died. He had vaccinated a great many, They frightened at the lesson they have anh have no wish for any farther movement of troops this spring. General Sully thinks it probable that if some proper person could be sent clothed with fuil authority to act, mach good would result both to the Indians and the government, and that they might be induced to give up their roaming habits, stealing, &c. But the person sent to talk with these Ind!ans should be one who fully undersiands them fully, not make promises which afterwards will not be com- plied with. Commissioner Parker has oMcial reports from Cap- tain Keys, agent for the Indians at the Cimarron Agency, New Mexico, the Utes and the Scarrillo Ap- paches. The troops which had been stationed at that agency were removed on the 8d of March, but the agent thinks they are not needed. The effect of a military force in their midst still remained, and there had been no complaints citizens or any further trouble = in regard to the gale of whiskey. The Indians express themselves satisfied with what they receive and a Willing to remain without receiving anything if that is the alternative, The agent had explained to the Utes the greater benetit they will receive by going on the Colosado reservation, but they still refuse. says tl 9 tight; , Your ol are Mesange of the Principal Chief of the Choc- tawe—An Able State Paper—Stnte Goveru- ment Proposed—Redskins Knocking at the Door, MEMPHIS, Tenn., Apri] 25, 1870.

He recommends an immediate protest against any terri- torial government and the adoption of a resolution asking the government to settle the estates of the freedmen and recommends the encouragement of railroads, The Council subsequently passed an act submitting the question of dividing their lands so that the same may be held in severaity, or, as heretofore, in coin- mon, to the vote of the people on the 4th day of July next. also THE JUDICIAL CONVENTION.
