WASHINGTON. RENARKABLE DEBATE IN THE HOUSE Severe Arraignment of the Foreign Policy of the Administration. CUBAN AFFAIRS VENTILATED. Senate Bill for the Reduction of Revenue Taxes. The Bill for the Revival of American Tonnage in Danger. WASHINGTON, May 24, 1670, Tho Cuban Question in the House—A Ree markable Debate. The most striking features of the House proceed- Inga to-day were the temporary defeat of Lynch’s Prescription for the terrible malady aMicting Ameri- can tonnage and a very interesting and apparently Unpremeditated discussion of the Cuban question. The present defeat of Lynch was looked for. There were rumors afloat in the air fora week past that such would be the result of all his labor and pains; but noboay, I fancy, antictpatedjthat to-day during the discussion of such a dry subject as the Consular and Diplomatic Appropriation bill for the second time, one of the most remarkabie debates of the session would have occurred, and yet I think it not unreasonable to predict that out of the spon- tancous outburst in behalf of Cuba on the floor of the House to-day more solid results are likely to flow, calculated, to give shape and character to foreign policy. than anything that has happened here sinco the advent of Grant's administration. During the Ife of the present Congress many speeches were made in favor of lending a helping hand to struggling Cuba, but they all fell barren of effect. Members listened = but seemed indifferent and careless about the matter, It really appeared as though Congress had no heart for anything but reconstruction and the African, as if the great representative body of the great republic of the world was unable to settle domestic troubles and at the same time extend a Benerous ald.toa feeble but noble people battling against tyranny and oppression, But to-day, when Mr. Voorhees, of Indiana, m a speech of impas- sioned eloquence, drew a vivid picture of the American flag, dishonored by Spanish inso- lence, and caused to be read the account of the insults offered to our Consul at Santiago de Cuba, he commanded the most breathless attention and roused the ‘House to a genuine expression of sympathy, which all former efforts failed to evoke. ‘There was not asingle member who dared to up- hold the supine policy thus far practised in regard to Spain. Republicans who are recognized as the ablest leaders of the House expressed themselves freely in favor of prompt action, and some of them even attacked the administration over the shoulders of the Navy Department, rather unjustly, for not having Jong ago vindicated the sacred character of our fag both in Paraguay and Cuba, Mr. Dawes was very emphatic in expressing his condemnation, and Logan, of Ilmols, in a speech of great earnestness and power, called for a vigorous and honorable policy in regard to struggling Cuba. Mr. Banks, of Massachusetts, @eciared that the Foreign Affairs Committee were ready and eager to make a report ‘whenever au opportunity would be given, and that he had been waiting for achance todo so, and at the same time stated that he and his committee would be found as anxious and willing to defend American rights as any body of men in Congress or out of It. There seems to be little doubt, from the character of all the remarks made, that something will be done speedily to resent the Spanish insults and to show to Spain and the world that the Ameri- can flag must be respected and that the rights of American citizens abroad can not be invaded with impunity. Indeed the feeling seemed to be so strong during the height of the excitement to-day that I verily believe had any member proposed consider the subject in regular form, and moved to allow General Banks to make a report then and there, there would not have been # single dissentient vote. As the case now stands both.sides of the House are strongly committed to the cause of Cuba as against Spain, and some aciiou may be expected in regard to Consul Phillips, the American citizens murdered in Cuba and the entire Cuban question within a very few days. General Jordan dined this evening with the Com- mittee on Foreign Affairs at the house of Represent. ative Swan, who is a member of that committee, Arrival of Distinguished Scalp-Hunters— Habits of the Gentle Suvage. The delegation of aborigines from the borders, consisting of the two Brule Sioux chiefs—Spotted Tail and Swift Bear—and two warriors—Yellow Hair and Fast Bear—arrived here to-day, accom- panied by their agent, Captain Dewitt C. Poul, United States Army, and interpreter ©. E. Quern, Frenchman, who has live: twenty-six years among the Sioux, Spotted Tall is the great chief of the Brules, and has under his rule about five thousand buman beings of his nation. He is about forty- eight years of age, of large, muscular frame and thoroughly Indian iu every particular. This evening the whole party took a stroll along Pennsylvania avenue. They were dressed in their Native costume—buckskin Jegging aud moccasons, elaborately worked with beads. Around their Dodies they wore a blanket, with a white stripe Aiagonally across it. Strapped about their waist, but out of view, each savage earried his six-shootcr, and in his hand his pipe. During thelr presence on the avenue this evening a torchlight procession of negroes passed by. The numerous Chinese ianterns, the bands and shouts of the crowd considerably be- wildered the sons of the forest. They looked on and, preserving the usual stolidity of their race, vaid nothing. The party loitered back to the hotel where they are putting up, and as early as eizht o'clock turned in for the night. The Indians occupy three rooms, which are fitted up wiih cots, ‘The royal savages, however, not knowing the com- fort of mattresses and sheets cling to their primitive notions of luxury by sleeping on the floor. The dele- gation will visit the Indtan Department to-morrow. to Red Cloud 1s expecied bere in a few days. Spotted ‘Tails party are rather sceptical about Red Cloud's arriving here, notwithstanding the assurances that he is coming. ‘They think the white people ave deceiving them. The two warriors above referred to have each killed pale faces, ond accordingly were selected. as hostile Indians, The newly arrived In- Gians were eight days on the journey and compiain of fatigue. They were much pleased to be informed tirough the loterpreter that the accounts of their killing White people haa preceded them, as they esteem such butcheriugs to be evidences of valor, Spoted Tail and Swit Bear wear as ornaments tue medals bearing the profile likeness of ex-Presi- out Jolmson, which were presented to them by the NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, MAY 25, 1870.—TRIPLE SHEET, Peace Commission in 1868, of which General Sher- man was president, A Promising Sensation Spolled—A Bleody Dael Prevented. There has been an after-picce to the heavy drama on Bullock and Georgia enacted in the Senate Jast week, which promised for awhfie to lead to big results in the shape of one or two dead bodies on some bloody field in the vicinity of Bladensburg or elsewhere, But, like many another aifair which opened with fair pros. pects of a big sensation, it has suddenly and very flatly come toan end. No duel is to hap- pen. Neither a Bullockite nor a Ferryite is to fill an untimely grave, and Morton and Ferry will have no “dead body” to answer for hereafter at the judg- ment seat, It appears that on the day of the furious debate between Ferry ana Morton on the Fif- teenth Amendments vill @ friend of Bullock hap- Pened to be in the Senate, and freely expressed bis views on the high merits of the Indiana Senator’s address, A gentleman to whom these re- marks, were addressed unfortunately happened to be on the other side, and took mortal offence at the Bullockite’s freedom of speech. He retorted very and the result was a formal’ demand by the Bullockite for a reiraction. A corre- spondence followed, and it seemed as though bloody business was meant, The Bullockite—Major Ben T. Hutchins, by name-chose a friend, and the other party--Colonel Quintiis Curtius Washington—fortited limself likewise. The first chosen seconds would not work blood-thirsty' enough, and a new batch was chosen, and them apother.” Genera! George W. Adams was the first amicus of Hutchins, and 1. L. Crounse oflictated mildly for the other side, Then young Bright, som of the ex-Senator, and General Ames took their places as substitutes, and finally the seconds became General Ricnard Winter Smith and Johnny Coyle, Under the last named gentlemen the hostile negotiations were perfected and the choice of weapons made. I believe the hour or meeting on the bloody field was actually fixed, It ‘was a great pity, therefore, such a promising sensa- tion should be spoiled; but it was, There was a hitch m some place, and the duel was abandoned. Hutchins claims he comes off with flying colors, while Washington is reticent, but eml- nently dignified, Your correspondent interviewed to-night the gallant Major, who stated that a friend of Colonel Washington informed him that soon after the little ‘onpleasanmess” in the Senate gallery, Washington sent for a couple of piatols, which be has carried ever since. Hutchins says he regards Colonel Washington as not wish- ing to fight, and hereafter he will not recognize any communication from him, As the correspondence is very brief | suppose it may be as Well to send jt to you, The Bullockite first sent a note by L. L. Crounse to Mr. Washington, demand. ing a retraction of the offenstve words which were, according to Major Hutchings, as follows:— God damn you, sir, T don’t know you; and God damn you, sir, 1 don’t waut to know you; and God damu you, sir, if L bad my way t would hang every one of you, sit. To this note Mr. Washington responded us fol- lows:— WASHINGTON, D. C., May 18, 1870, Ste—Your note, bearing yesterday's date, was handed to me to-day by Mr. L. L.

BEN T. HUTCHINS. The Bill for the Revivai of American Ten- ri, 1870. any rep to pang, any suit- nage. The friends of the Lynch bil, for the revival of American tonnage and commerce, are very confident to-night that, notwithstanding the unpromising aspect of affairs to-day, when they were temporarily defeated, it will pass to-morrow by five or six ma- jority. They assert that a dozen or more of the members who voted against it to-day will zo the other way to-morrow, with the understanding that the bounty provision be strickeu out. Iam tuformed that a motion will be made to table the bill, but that it will be defeated, and that then, after some amendments, including the striking out of the bouuty provision, it will be passed. I give this on ihe authority of a New York member—Mr. H. , Calkin—who has thoroughly canvassed the House and satisfied bimscif that bis information is per- fectly reliable. Forelga Telegraph Schemes Before the Senat Comittee. The Seaate Foreign Relations Committee again to-day gave a hearing to the advocates of the Cali- fornia-Cnina cable, the Belgium cable and the Postal Telegraph enterprise—Cyrus W. Field, W. ©. Bar- ney and Hubbard being the special urgers, respec- tively, of each of those proposed undertakings. Field went over the same argument, substantially, a8 a Week ago,and the same may be said of Barney and Hubbard. None of them advancec a new idea. It may be said with strict propriety that Mr. Field's subsidy scheme is making po progress, Tis hope of getting $10,000,000, or even $5,000,000, out of the government seems to be most forlorn. ‘There is an impression that if the private companies cannot lay the desired cable without such an enor- mous government aid the Cnited States can better afford to go into the business itself and complete the telegraphic circuit of the globe on its own hook. Removal of Canadian War Material at Pembina. Secretary Boutwell having referred to the Secre- tary of State the letier from the Collector of Customs at Pembina, asking what action should be taken in sogard to the remoyal of arms and munitions belong- ing to the Canadian government. now stored at Abercrombie, in the Pembina district, up the Red River, should such request be made, Secretary Fish replies substantially that the rclauons between Canada and the United States in regard to this mat- ter are entirely satisfactory, and thcre is no objec- tion on the part of the United States to the removal of this Canadian property, should the latter govern- ment desire it. The Southern Transcontinental Ruilroad. The House Committee on the Pacitic Railroad to-day authorized their chairman to report tne Southern Transcontinental Railroad bill, It pro- vides for connection with other roads, placing them ail on an equal footing and requiring uniforin charges for freight and passengers, making them all practi- cally one road, Sunday School Children Visit the President This morning the South Washington Sunday Schoot Union, embracing boys and girls of ten schools, marched to the Executive Mansion, and, filmg into the East Room, were received by President Grant, the children, with their teachers, entering by the maim door and passing through the Blue Room to the grounds. A band of music played meantime. | to-day, Among those who happened to be present were Speaker Blaine, Hon. Ginery Twicheli, Hon. Sheiby M.

Executive Nominations. The following nominations were sent in to-day:— Gilman Marston to be Governor of Idaho; Charies ©, Crowe, of Alabama, to be Secretary of Utan; dames B, cKean, of New York, to be Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Utah; Captain Stephen De- catur, on the retired list, to be commodore on the re- tured list of the navy. . ‘The Upshur Court Martial. ‘The proceedings of the court martial on the Com- mander Upshur cadet case bave, 1¢ is understood, been sent to the pubile printer and will be promul- gated in a day or two. The pamphiet will include the reprimand by the Secretary of the Navy, cordance with the sentence of the court, Relief for the Deatitute Citizens of the Alaska Islands, The revenue cutter Lincoln, now at San Francisco, has been ordered to the seal islands St. Paul and St. George for the purpose of aiding their inhabitants who are supj tobe tn a destitute condition, The Lincoln will take a large supply of provisions from San Francisco, and is expected to start within ten days. The necessary orders were sent by telegraph | mittee. yesterday. Captain Charles Bryant, revenue agent, now in San Francisco waiting for orders, will pro- ceed inthe Lincoln, accompanied by an assistant, who will be selected from among the clerks in Secretary Boutwell’s office to take charge of the islands. Kaforcing the Fifteenth Ameudwi Island. The petition of Messrs, Garman, Hennessey, Coo- ney, Binney, Davis and 3,500 others of Rhode Island, praying for appropriate legislation by Congress for the enforcement of the provisions of the fourteenth ana fifteenth amendments in Rhode Island, was pre- sented by General John A. Logan in the House’of Representatives. This petition is in behalf of a movement in Rhode Island to remove the disabilities which deprive about 10,000 citizens m Rhode Island of the right to vote. ‘The Union League. Tne National Executive Committee of the Union League of America will meet at the Arlington Hotel, Washington, on Tuesday next, at ten o’clock A. M. A general attendance from most of the States is expected, and especially from the South. Tobacco Manufncturers’ Bonds. Commissioner Delano decides that when a manu- factarer of tobacco, snuif and cigars, has more than one place of business, when he carries on portions of his business at separate and distinct places, or in buildings which are not on the same general pre- mises, he must give a bond and pay a special tax for each such case, Bullion Fund In the Sau Francisco Mint. ‘The Secretary of the Treasury has authorized an addition of $1,000,000 gold to the bullion fund of the branch mint at San Francisco during the annual set- tlement to take place in June, Personal.

WASMINGTON, May 24, 1870, ANNEXATION OF DOMINICA. Mr. FERRY, (rep.) of Conn., said he had received several memortals from citizens of the Dominican republic protesting against annexation, He asked leave to present them, Objection being made on,the ground that the me- morialists were not American citizens, the Vice President said the papers could only be received by unanimous consent, Mr. POMEROY, (rep.) of Kan., objected, and the papers were not received. THE OSAGE INDIAN RESERVATION. Mr. HARLAN, (rep.) of lowa, addressed the Senate at length m explanation and support of the bill tor the sale of the Osage Indian reservation im the State of Kansas and the settlement of the said Indians in the Indian Territory. His speech was mainly tn re- py to Fe hati the bill, urged by the Senator ‘om Maine (Mr. Morrill), Who assumed that white settiers on those Lodian lands were marauders and robbers, and should be driven out. He claimed that the occupation of the lands was with the implied consent of the Indians and upon the presumption that the treaty for their sale would be ratified by Congress. He aivo deterded the bill as to the price Specified for the iands, THE LEGISLATIVE APPROPRIATION BILL, At two o’clock Mr. Hartan concluded, and the Sen- ate proceeded with we Legislative, Judictal Appropriation bill, the question being upon. the motion of Mr. CHANDLER to insert in the bill the entire river and harbor appropriations a8 an amend- ment to the motion of Mr. SUEKMAN lO appropriaie $450,000 for the completion of the Loulsvilie canal. ‘rhe necessity of an immediate appropriation for the Louisville Canal, by reason of the peculiar sitaa- tion of the work and ita commercial tinportance to jean sine Valiey, Was debated until three o'clock.

On mouon'of Mr. Stawant, (rep.) of Nev., the pending ousiness was laid aside, when he presented the report of the coaserence comnuttee on differ. ences between tle two houses on the bit Amendment bill to eaturce the right of ciuz vote In keveral States. Mr. StkWakt, in explanation of the report, said the amendments did not aller apy essential ieature of the bil, bat simply harmonized them. ip te eleventh and other sections the word “indictment” was inseried in order to conform to the requirements of the eighth section, that where the offence is infa- mous the punishment must be by indictment; where not infamous tt may either be by indictment or pre- gentment of the Grand Jury. The thirteenth sec- tuon had been amended to authorize the President to employ such part of the laad or aval forves, or mbi- ta, as shail be necessary to aid in the execution of judicial process, issued under the act, instead of vo prevent violations of the act, &c. Section twenty, proviving penalties for unlawfal registrations at elections of Congressmen, had been amended by aading a proviso that every registration at which a representative or detcgate in Congress may be elected shall be deemed 4 registra- | tion within the ieaning of the uci. ‘This was to meet a suggestion thal tie penaltics of the section against trauduleht yoting, repeailug, &c., relied ouly to elections of members of Congress, whereas general tickets ior State officers were voted in some Slates, and voters were registered not simply tor tae purpose of voting for Congressmen, but for Wwe general Uckeb. ‘This proviso was Intended to sim- plify the evidence by requiring that where & man fraudulently vowed the whoie Ucket the burden oi proof to show that the name of 4 member of Cou- gress Was upon the ticket should not rest upon the government, If he vo.es iraudulently at an elev- tion where votes are taken tor a Congressman it shall be presumed that he voted fraudulently for such person, Section twenty-one of the dill was drawn for a specific purpose. It au- thorized @ candidate to go into a United Staves court and give effect to the votes of persons offering to vote at the election but denied that right by rea son of race, Color or previous condition oi servitude. For instance, if inany Southern State a candidate for Sheritt received 1,000 white votes and there were 1,500 colored voters ready to vote for him, but ex- cluded, he may go to court and have tose 1,600 counted for him, The conference committee had merely redrawn the section im more guarded lan- guage so as to express this se more clearly. Mr. SrocKToN, (dem.) of N. J., moved to lay the roport on the table and have it printed.

At all events the people of Virginia knew the things forbidden im the bill were wi in themselves.

Mr, THURMAN—In the blue laws of Connecticut, Mr. DRAKE—Has the Senator a cerutled copy of Mr, THURMAN had seen a certified copy. Mr. SAULSBURY, (dem.) of Del, thought the Seu- ator could see one in the bear. Mr. BUCKINGHAM, (rep.) of Conn., suggested it might be necessary for tue Senator from Omo (Mr. Thurman) to get a certificate of character of one Simon Peters, who wrote a uistory of the blue laws. Mr. WILLIAMS, (ren. ot Oregon, desired the prompt passage of the bill in order that the people of Oregon nught have sufficient notice of 10s require- ments before the State election on June 6, His own objections had been removed by the conference come Mr. STOCKTON Said that much new matter had been introduced im te bill by the conference report, among which was a. provision that where aman voted he was to be presumed as voting lor a Con- gressman, if votes for that office were taken, The committee overlooked the fact that voters often scratched their tickets.

Mr. BANKS, (rep.) of Mass., chairman of the Com- mittee on Foreign Attuirs, said that the statement read was undoubtedly correct. The facts had been long before the Comunittee on Foreign Affairs, and that committee was only awaiting the opportunity to report the whole subject, and would pot lose one minute tn calliug the attention of the House to it, It did not appear to him, however, that the fact: afforded any reason why the Consalate at tayo shouid be abolished; on the contrary, they were un additional reason why tt should be supported. Mr. LOGAN, (rep.) of IL, said that he had been feel- ing for along wme that the American goverament had not been doing its duty, and that its hesttancy had been almost criminal, He was satisfied that at any time the Committee on Foreign Affairs asked consent to make a report on the subject of Guba there would be no objection, Mr. BANKS satd he had been watching day by day, and hour by hour, the opportunity to bring the mat. ter before the use. He believed that the House was willing to give it consideration at an early day. He expected that within a week or ten days the whole subject would be presented and acted on. It had been delayed so long by the impossibility of get- ting a two-thirds vote 40 set aside the Tart bill or the Appropriaiion bill. Mr. LOGAN did not believe that the House would object to taking up that question any time it was asked to, because the whole country demanded that Congress should speak in reicrenve to Cuban attal Outrages had been perpetrated in Cuba unit!, 4% the gentleman from Indiana nad said, the blood of American citizens cried ont from the ground, The government should show at least that it bad some sympathy with the struggling people of toat land. He boped that at tie fist opportunity the gentieman from Massachusetts (Mr. Bunks) Id ask a suspension of the rules so as to get his report before the House. Mr. BANKS said he should not lose any oppor- tunity. Mr. VooRHFES said, so fer as he knew the temper of itty side of the Honse, members were ready to give him the opportunity now or at any Ume, Mr. Looax—tt cau be done any day. Mr. SARGENT called attention to the means by which these outrages should be redresse: Was ft by Congressional resolutions? Congress refused 10 make the needinl appropriations for tne navy. It Was very y to decuse the Secretary of State for sittme Hi = one and five guns to our one. Lf the United States government were to ¢ pntrate there a navy equal to that of Spain t& woula have Ww draw its from all parts of the world, rt. GARFIELD satd that, without referring to the vaestion of Cuban matters, he would call atiention to the writer of the document that had beea read, the jute United States Cousal at Santiago de Cuba. Gene- rai Steadman was trom bis (Gartielu’s) Cong atl district, and bat diced m Cuba in a few days after he got to las posi; the present Consul, Plullips, was aiso from his Congress district. He (Mr. ¢ fled) had therefore iad occasion to know & good ¢ about consular aifairs in that island. When Gen Steaiman died, on the 6th July last, he died in the house of this man Phillips, who sent a brief leiter to the State Department in- forming it of the facet of Generat Steadman’s death and stating that in a few days he would send on his effects and a full statement of the ciroumstunces attending his sickness and death, Al- though more than # dozen letters had peen a4. dressed to Phillips since that time by the bercaved immily and friends, not a word of answer had been Teceived aul uo effects were sent back, aithougn General Steadman had had at vhe ume of his death one thousand dollars im his possession, He has not sent one word in response in reference to the deaiu of the mau who tin his house. 2 present Con- sul at Santiago was there som before Phillips leti, and during that thne no informavion could obitined fom him. A short tine alter that man Phillips, falsely assuming that hus Was in danger, got away on a@ Dian-of-war, and by some curious process or other got appointed as Consul to Jamaica by the com- mander of the ship—an appoinment which was worth nothing, ana which was immediately revoked by the State Deparunent a8 @ thing without autho- riy. Not only that, but he demanded that a ship- of-war should take him back to Santiago de Cuba, aud when he got there he did not try to land, becaus: as the Aduural said, of the debts due by hum; anc that man sent to the State Department a ear for two hundred thousand doilars’ damages for haying been overawed and threateued and Ins life eudan- gered by the po of Spain, That was the kind of man that told these horrible stories of the state of affairs in Cuba, Moreover, after having had pub- lished these terrible papers, he sent to the Stat: De- partment a dental of them, saying that he wrote them under duress, t0 save Mis ile; he wro! them to please certain sets and factio.s of the pe: pie there. Theseglavis could be ascertained at t Stale Department. Before he (Gartiela) would hav: hus blood boil the subject, or betore he would you not to have @C ousul at Santiago de Cuba, or legislate in any belligerent or vigorous way, he this same Iife should like that person who cared so much jor the American flag to send back the noney that he held belonging to the famil, of his (Gardeld’s) dead con- stiinent, the date General Steadman, and to send some account of his sickness and what he said in the hours of bis death, agonized widow, who had been praying and te- seeching iim to give back one utterance of her dying husband.
