Mr. Tiron, (rep.) of Neb. introduced a joint resolution proposing a constitutional amendment to modify the veto power, so that a vote of the majority of all the qualified members of hoth houses shall be sufficient to overcome the President's ob- Jections. Mr. RaMSEY, (rep.) of Minn., from the Committee of Conference on the Postal Code bill, made a report, which was concurred in. THE STEAMBOAT BILL. Mr. CHANDLER, (rep.) of Mich., moved to proceed to the consideration of the conference report on the Steamboat bill, and said he had received a great many telegrams from different parts of the country urging immediate action on the bill. Mr. ConKLING, (rep.) of N. Y., opposed concur- ring in the report. He criticised the provisions of the bill, and suid that if they should become law gullerers by steamboat accidents would have no legal remedy whatever against the owners of the boats unless they could show actual carelessness on their part. At the expiration of the morning hour the un- finished bysiness—the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill—came up. Mr, CHANDLER moved to lay it on the table for the purpose of eding with the Steamboat bill. Mr. Morton, (rep.) of Ind., advocated the mo- tion. He said the objections to the bill could be easily answered, and that there was great anxiety among those engaged in the steamboat business to have the bill acted on, ‘fhe motion to lay on the table was lost—yeas 26, nays 28, LOADING AND PRIMING. Mr. SUMNER then moved that the Appropriation bill be indefinitely postponed, and announced that upon this question he intended to make # specch tn vindication of himself; the Senate not having con- sented to give him a hearing on a more convenient occasion he was obliged to fake advantage of this opportunity. Mr, CONKLING called Mr. Sumuer’s attention to the fact that Mr. Hamlin, the Chairman of the Commitee on Frenen Arms Sales, had been called away by o Jamily afiction, and that Mr. Carpenter, also a member of the’ committee, was not in his seat. Mr. SomMNeR sald he had heard of Mr. Hamlin's affliction and regretted it. He observed, however, that Mr, Carpenter, the author of the French Arms report, was now in his seat, and therefore he would | proceed, which he did. Mr, Sumner’s speech will be found in another cojumn of the HERALD.) TARIFF CONPERENCE COMMITTEE. The Senate agreed to the request of the House for a committee of conference on the Tariff bill, and the Vice President appointed Messrs, Sherman, Morrill (Vt.) and Bayard the committee on the part of the Senate. At the commencement of Mr. Sumner’s speech Mr. Cole said that as this first speech on the Appro- priation bill wonld probably give rise to others, he would ask unanimons consent to offer a resolution rescinding the resolution to adjourn sine die on Monday, June 3, Mr, HAMILTON, (dem.) of Md., objected, and the resolution went over. Mr. TRUMBULL, (rep.) of LIl., moved to take a re- cess until half-past sev ANOTHER CA Mr. Scnenz, (vep.) of Mo., obtained the floor and was proceeding to review the majority report of the Committee on French Arms, when Mr. Ferry, of Conn., moved to adjourn, saying that it was not iv accordance with the ordinary usages or cour- tesiea of the Senate to compel @ Senator to proceed with his speech at so late an hour.

Third Day of the Spring Trot- ting Meeting. Fine Attendance and Delightful ‘Weather. Eveline the Winner of the 2:48 Purse and Lucille the Saddle Race. ‘The genial weather of yesterday, notwithstand- img the Mmited trotting attractions on the card, drew together at the Prospect Park Fair Grounds 8 large and fashionable attendance. At twoo'clock the most exacting could hardly wish fora much grander picture than the ample course presented. The rain and sunshine had given a deeper tint of emerald alike to the luxuriant foliage and waving grass, and these, with the cluster of villas sur- rounding the track, made up a charming pano- rama. The throng that came to witness the day's amusement was an agreeable disappointment to the management. Postponements always result disastrously, aud Prospect had suffered auch on ‘Thursday; therefore a light day had been antici- pated. New York and Brooklyn, however, came to the resene, and when the bell brought the horses to the score for the first event the Grand Stand and Club House balconies were exceedingly well filled, and filled, too, with such representatives of re- spectability and wealth lend a charm to any gathering. Here it may not be inappropriate to suggest— but the suggestion cannot be new in any particu- lar—that if this Association would only give the great public a mode of reaching the track from the ferries in thirty-five or forty minutes, whether by water or land or by both, it would be one of the most successful trotting grounds in the North, Ita beauty of location is unsurpassed, its buildings and stables are of the most ample nature and the | Club Mouse large and finely appointed. There have been great days at Prospect, and will be again, but the attractions presented to bring together ten or fifteen thousand persons, as was the case three years ago this month, during the spring meet- ing, must be vast indeed to make the multitudes subject themsclves to tedious rides of an hour and a half or more in going to and returning from the course, The ofticers of the Association, alike with the visitors, feel the necessity of a more rapid means of transportation, and it is assured that be- fore long it Will be segured, and then the grand crowds which will there assemble at every re- union will gladden the eyes of all interested. Before the first heat of the first race was over the inner fleld contained many carriages filled with ladies and their escorts, and on the right of the Club House and the left of the Grand Stand other like clusters were seen, the inmates of each anxious and delighted at the exhibition of sport, though not up to the usual mark presented by the competing horses. The saddle race, always an attractive event, though with but three starters, evoked much enthusiasm, and greatly made up for the rather inferior exhibition of the 2:48 pur All the leading gentlemen of the Association were in attendance, and while they roamed about the grounds their ladies occupied pleasant points of observation from the most eligible places at the Club House. Among the many present net before mentioned were G. W. Writer, of the Owego Park; H, W. Hunt, of Nornelisville, William Arnolas, M. of Providence; Michael Sandford, John Colyer, Jr and William Franklin, of Newark, and many other strangers. The Trotting. The track was in tolerably fair condition after the rain of the previous day, but the trotiing was not of an exciting nature. There were two contests, the first having six entries, only two of which came to the scratch. These were J. J. Wheeler's black mare Eveline and T. Hoyt’s chestnut gelding Wallace. The former won handily in three straight heats. ‘The second trot was under saddle. The bay mare Lueilie, bay gelding J.J. Bradley and bay gelding G. W. Patterson were the contestants. Four heats were trotted, and Lucille won the race. The fol- lowing are the detatis:— ' THE FIRST TROT.

Since the pub- lication of the original list of entries in the HERALD there have been several changes, the most impor, tant of which are those of the Quaker City and Uni- versity Clubs of Philadelphia for the four-oared shell race, and that of the Couper Club, of Savannah, for the four-caved shell and fonr-oared gig races. In the double scull siiell contest Selah H, Clarke, of the Undine Club, has taken the place of William A, Steclin the bow of the Crescent Club entry, the retiring gentleman being unable to row, from an indisposition from which he 1a now suffering.

MARCHING ON THE GOVERNOR. Address of the Workingmen, Pro- test of the Manufacturers and Meetings of the Unions. REVOLT OF PRINTING PRESS MEW. New trades are falling into the line of the strikers and the enthusiasm was greater last night than for several days previous. The workingmen believe that they have committed the Governor to their cause, and are consequently jubilant. The employ- ers were unlucky in playing the same rdle, and are very morose in consequence. Printing Pross Makers. Early in the present week the employés in the Mesars. Hoe’s Printing Press manufactory in this city sent word to the firm that they would nolonger work more than eight hours per day. They also asked an Increase of twenty per cent in the rates paid on piece work, The firm is reported to have sent them a reply stating that “R. Hoe & Co. are opposed to the eight- hour system, and any one leaving their employ be- cause of their refusal to adopt it will not again obtain work in thelr shops,’? ‘The employe who sent the notice referred to were the machinists, who occupy four floors of the new building on Sheriff street, the pattern makers occupying two floors and the carpenters one floor in Columbia street, and the saw makers and grinders oecupying one foor and a basement on Broome street. Only the patiern makers and carpenters left work. They struck on Thursday, and four of the bre onthe fame evening joined the Carpenters” Snion, Last night a mecting was held tn Broome atreot, near the shops, and one delegate from each depart- ment of the establisiiment was sent to the meeting of the machinists at Putnam Hall. Itis believed the employés will all strike on Monday. It is reported that the firm telegraphed to thelr London house to bave pattern makers Bent out by the next steamer from Knglind. The workmen fee) more aggrieved at the refusal from the fact that the English branch was reported asone of the first tirms to yicld in the strike in London for nine hours, One of the worknien, named White, who has been employed as @ mouiier in the establishment from boyhood, related many anecdotes illustrative of the gooiness of Colonel Hoe, now in London. Among others the establishment of night schools for his apprentices, with courses of lectures. and presentation of all needful books for an chosen study free, and said that it was the unt- versal belief of the workmen that if Colonel Hoe were home the demand for decreased hours of labor would be granted. Worl men’s Union. . The Workingmen’s Union held a special meeting last evening to consider the present state of the eight hour question, Owing to the number of meet. ings that were held In various parts of the eityin connection with the strikes there was but a small attendance of delegates, ‘The following resolutions, proposed by Mr. Master- son, were unanimously adopted :— Resolved, That we, the assembled delegates to tho 's Union, in the name of our respective or vis, heartily sympathize with the glorious move- emancipation ot labor, and t ir brother tollers throughout the city and county York the fraternal grasp of friendship and the cual support in whatever emergency, and be itrarthor v igse an address to that eff nity which sh may, througir the pre: 80 firmly. that no amou ut it A committee of three was appointed to prepare the address alluded to, Mr. DALY, the President of the Workingmen’s Union, stated that he, with tne committee ap- ointed for the purpose, had watted on Governor foifman and had secured from him a promise that the police should not arbitrarily interfe: “strikes” in the future. It was announced that Haines Brothers had ac- ceded to the eight-hour movement. Some bitter remarks were made about Judge Cox for his action relitive to some men who had been most unjustly arrested aud brought before him, Representatives from the brass founders an- nounced that their trade had effected an organiza- t and would be ready in a week or two to join other workinen In every trades movement, Yhe mecting then adjourned, . The Quarrymen, The United Quarrymen held a meeting at 870 | Seventh avenue, between Fifty-sixth and Fifty- | seventh streets, last night, Mr. Kiernan in the { chair, Nothing of importance was transacted but the enrolment of now members, about eighty of whom were last night admitted to the Union; | this increases the number of the — society 400 since last Wednesday. The works have ) been open since that time and will be continued open until next Monday, the day on | which the strike takes place. From the reports of | the various foremen it seems that a strike will not be necessary, as the “bosses” generally seem will- | ing to give However, those whose bosses”? refuse to give the eight hours will rendez- vous at this place and report the same. The men | were warned by the Chalr from congregating in too large numbers on the public highways, as it might x w night there will be a semble at nd Fourth mu uh As stated in | vday’s Heranp, the varioua. ; labor unions on huraday appointed a joint com- mittee to wait upon Governor Hoffman and endeavor to procure from him a promise that they should no longer | sudfer from police interference, They foynd him at the Clarendon Hotel, and the folloWing is a copy of | the address submitted to him by the Charmai7—\ Yo His Joan 't.

On the other hand, the employers were preparing | to capture the Gov or; and, soon after the work- ; ingmen withdrew, they moved upon the sitnation | In full force, Unfortunately, His Excellency had Follod his tent like an Arab, And silently stolen away.
