Ww WASHINGTON. @rand Sparring in the House Over the Salaries. BUTLER BRUISES COX MERCILESSLY. The Senate Refuses to Take a Holiday Recess. ‘REDEMPTION OF THE LOAN OF 1868, Wremain’s Bill Referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee. WASHINGTON, Dec. 17, 1873. A Field Day in the House Over the Salary Bill—The Multifarious Methods of Settling the Difficulty—Butier Makes am Savage Attack om®Cox and Is Cheered for His Abuse. . ‘To-day was aregular field day in the House, and “@eveloped the power and elasticity of parliament. ‘ry tactics to an extent rarely witnessed. The Salary bill came up after the morning hour, when Haile, of New York, attempted to save the President and Cabinet officers from the proposed reduction, Hale was very indignant yesterday at members of ‘the Forty-second Congress for increasing their pay, “Dut he was quite willing to-day to justify and defena ‘the increase of the President. The House, how- ever, voted down his amendment by a large major- ity. Various other amendments were offered, some with the evident intention of so loading down the bill that 1t would die from the weight of its own absurdity. One was to the effect that all members of the Forty-third Congress who had re- ceived back pay and had not returned the same to the Treasury have the amount so received de- @ucted from their salary for this Congress, Helman pressed this amendment very strongly, taough it failed to pass; but he was not equally earnest in trying to pass an amendment, offered soon’after by Butler, that all members of the Thirty-ninth Congress who had received back pay be equally dealt with—in short, be compelled to disgorge, for the reason that the virtuous Hol- man, who had such horror of back pay in the last Congress, had himself pocketed back pay for the Thirty-ninth Congress. During the vote on this amendment, which was carried, Holman sat per- fectly livid in his seat, while the occasional bursts of laughter of the members in his neighbor- hood showed how keenly he realized his position, Mr. Beck, of Kentucky, made a very forcible speech, partly in explanation of his position in re- gard to the passage of the Back Pay bill and partly Justifying the increase of salary. He said he be- lieved that there were two classes men who were ‘willing to take small salaries or none atall. One were the very honorable men wno come here to ook after their bonds and bank and railroad stocks, and the other the very poor ones ‘who were willing to prostitute their honor and sell their votes to the highest bidder, For his part, he said, he should do what he conceived to be his duty, regardless of the clamor of miser- able political demagogues, who, like the prosti- tutes, sought to drag respectable women down to their own degraded level. This was considered by Many to be a slap at Tammany Hall, Mr. Hurl, but, of Illinois, offered an amendment which was prepared by General But- Jer, fixing the rate of compensation of members, Delegates and Senators at $6,000 per annum, to take effectfrom the passage of this bill, and the Bpeaker’s at $2,000 extra. An amendment was offered to this, to increase the Speaker's $3,000 extra, but the Speaker promytly requested the Mover to withdraw it, and, this failing, he said ne hoped no member would vote for it unless he had ® personal grudge against him. This re- mark called forth some criticism from Hoar, of Massachusetts, who considered the Speaker's remark as calculated to intimidate mem- bers iu the exercise of their rights. The Speaker, however, explained his motives and the delicacy Af his position, when the matter dropped. Mr. Cox made a speech defending himself for changing the ame of a vessel to the W. M. Tweed, and gaid that $t the time he did“g0 nobody Suppoted Tweea was going to bein the Penitentiary. Speeches were made by Messrs, Hale, of Maine, Dawes and Garfield. The two former wanted the $6,000 propo- sition voted down, as it was on a partial com. pliance with the demands of the people. They wanted @ more sweeping and thorough reduction, extending to all salaries increased by the late bill, while Garfield wanted to pass this bill, as it was evident none other could be passed until after January 1, and that then he would support any ‘proposition for a further reduction. Mr. Hawley, of Connecticut, wanted to modily the proposition 50 as to reduce the salaries of members and Sena- tors to $5,500 and leave all others stand for the present. The session had now extended late into the evening, and about eignt o’clock General Butler sook the floor and made the speech of the day. The members anticipating something rare, even for rare Ben, gathered around him until they formed a complete circle about him, and certainly they were not disappointed, for he lashed right ‘nd left, first paying his respects to the Vonven- sion in his own State, which instructed him to vote for the repeal of the Salary bill; next to the virtu- pus political goslings. He next paid his respects to Mr. Cox, who, be said, was defeated for Con- gress in one election and was elected by the death ofanother. At this sally there was loud laughter Bil over the House and Ben went for Cox again, He said for his part he never drew back pay, but those who took pay lor the time while they were not members of Congress, but for time to which men who were dead were elected, were the parties who really drew back pay. He said he had not to leave his own #®8tate when played out to run for Congress im another, Encouraged by the laughter and applause on the floor he hit right and deft, and said that if members of Congress ould only stand together in defence of their own donor and positions and not be frightened by the howling of the press, which had pursued him with @ 40 jackass mud power, they would be truer to ‘their own manhood, to the positions of honor they ‘Occupied as members of the American Congress and ‘to the best interests of the Republic. He cited ‘the case of Engiand, where members of Pariiament weceived no pay and none but men of wealth made ‘the laws, and, as a consequence, every twelfth man ‘was eituer a pauper or a lunatic. When Mr, Butler soncluded there was loud applause on the floor yond tn the galleries. Mr. Rawiley tried to get in his amendment, but failed, and then came the test vote on the bill, Which was taken, amid considerabie interest and @nxiety, During the calling of the names it was anderstood that the $6,000 amendment was lost; ‘but, before the announecment of the vote, a few changed their votes in favor of it and it was car- wied, when the House, at nine P. M., adjourned, The Day’s Work in the Senate. The Senate did notning of special interest to-day. Senator Bogy, of Missouri, pitched Anto our Indian legisiation in @ lively manner Gor 10 or 15 minutes. Mr. Samner's old bill to yabatish the office of Internal Revenue Commission and the officers under it showed itself for the first Aime this session and was referred to the Commit fee om Finance. Mr. Crozier, the new Senator from Kansas, spoke for some time on the ‘teliefof the settlers on the Osage Indian lands and #enator Fenton delivered a long adaress on contraction, not only of the currency but also of ernment expenditures. ‘The Bankruptcy bill passed by the House was referred to the Com- jttee on the Jndiciary, after an ineffectual at- mpt to gable it. Senator Hdmunds says he will be Bbdle to report the bili back on Friday, but appear- Bnces indicate that it will pass through a process Di revision before it again shows itsel!. The Naval _BARIBIE POD WA Was ROMER ALLer hs clauge Bive ° " NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1873.—TRIP Jing the President power, In cases of emergency, to transfer appropriations from one bureau to another, had been stricken out. The Senate refused to concur with the House in taking the usual holiday recess, ‘and Mr. Morton hopes thereby to call up Mr. Pinch- back’s case again to-morrow, and keep it before the Senate until it is settled one way or the other. The Act Redceming the Loan of 1558. The following is the act redeeming the loan of 1858, as it passed both houses, and will by under- standing immediately become a law by reason of the President's signature :— an Act to provide for the redemption of the loan ‘858. Be it enacted, by the Senate and House of Repre- sentatives of the United States of America, In Con- gress assembled, That for the purpose of redeem- ing the bonds issued under the act entitled “An act to authorize a loan not exceeding the sum of 20,000,000,” approved June 14, 1558, as amended larch 3, 1859, called “the loan of 1858,” it is hereby declared to be the pleasure of the United States to pay all the coupon bonds of said loan on the Ist day of January, 1874, at which date the interest thereon shall cease, and coin in the ‘Ireasury sufficient to redeem said coupon bonds is hereby appropriated for that pur- ose. us SECTION 2.—That the Secretary of the Treasury may issue an equal amount at par of principal and interest of flve per cent bonds of the funded loan under “The act for refunding the national debt,”* approved July 14, 1870, and the act amendatory thereof, approved January 20, 1871, lor any of the bonds of the loan of 1858 which the holders thereof may, on or before February 1, 1874, elect to exchange for the five per contum bonds of the sald funded joan, with interest from said Jan- uary 1, provided that no commission or allowances whatever shall be pald for the exchange of bonds hereby authorized, and no interest shail be allowed on the new bonds jor any time for which interest is paid on the bonds exchanged, Why There Should Be No Holiday Re- cess—The Treasury Demands Immediate Attention. Several prominent members of Congress to-day, while privately expressing their views against the proposed holiday recess, said if the Senate agreed to the House resolution for that purpose more than a month must elapse before anything could be done for the relief of the Treasury. They alluded to the fact that, while the redemp- tion of the loan of 1858 involved additional obligations, the extraordinary appropriation of $4,000,000 for the navy excceded what could possibly be saved by a reduction of the estimates, and, besides, the Secretary had already drawn $18,500,000 from the $44,000,000 reserve, without which the Treasury would now be bankrupt. Tue re- serve was constantly being drawn upon, and there- fore it was imperative, with a due regard to the public credit, to pass measures of relief without delay. What these should be they were not prepared to say; but they, witn others, were prepared torestore the duty on tea and coffee and tobacco, which were the more easily collecta- ble, or they would agree to a temporary loan of say $50,000,000, At all events Congress should not think of a holiday adjournment until ample pro- vision be made for the Treasury, the receipts of which yesterday were not more than one-third of what they would have been but for the effects of the panic. General Howard Before the Committee on Military Affairs—He Is Anxious for Court Martial Trial. General Howard appeared before the House Committee on Military Affairs to-day. He said he courted the fullest investigation and waived any advantage that might accrue to him by the statute of limitation or otherwise, in order that he might be tried by court martial. He thought that he would be fully able to prove that he was not officially or morally responsible for any shortcomings by reason of his administration of the affairs of the Freedmen’s Bureau. General Vincent was also present, but as the charges against General Howard are not yet printed his examination was postponed until to- morrow. The Judiciary System in Utah. The House Committee on Territories to-day considered the bill relative to selecting jurors and otherwise remedying the defects now existing in the judiciary system of Utah go that the present obstruction to the administration of the laws in Utah may be removed. The subject was postponed till the meetiag of the committee alter the holi- days. Increase of the Enlisted Force of the Navy. The Senate Committee on Naval Alfairs this morning agreed to report, without amendment, the bill recently passed by the House to increase the enlisted force of the navy to 10,000 men. Williams Discussed Before the Judiciary Committee. The Senate Committee on the Judiciary to-day heard persons on the subject of the nomination of Mr. Williams for the Chief Justiceship. The President Shows His Good Sense. A department official this morning intmmated to the President that it might be proper, in view of the aMiction which has befallen his (the President's) household, to close the different departments to- morrow, the occasion of Mr. went’s funeral. The President at once replied that, to his mind, such action would not be proper, as Mr. Dent was simply a private citizen, and, conseguently, not entitled to official honors, The Senate Transportation Committee Bound South. The Senate Transportation Committee will leave Washington early on Monday morning for Atlanta, Ga., where they will continue the examination of the subjects referred to them, and then proceed to New Orleans and other Southern ports. Secretary Belknap’s Return. Secretary Belknap has returned to this city and is at the War Department io-day. Capture of a Band of Raiding Indians. General Sheridan has transmitted to General Sherman, under date of headquarters at Chicago | the 16th inst., acopy ofa telegram received irom General Augur, a8 ‘ollows:— Lieutenant Hodson, of the Fourth cavalry, was sent irom Fort Clarke with 40 men to intercept a band of Indians raiding on the Lower Nueces. He found the camp where they left their animals, go- ing Cown and capturing them (#0 horses ‘and mule). On the 10th inst, he struck the band on their return, killed 9, wounded a good many more and captured 81 animals. His own casuaities were one man wounded, three horses kilied and one wounded, This occurred on the west fork of the Nueces. The Kiowas on the War Patn. The War Department is advised of the murder by @ party, supposed to be Kiowas, of & man belong- ing to a @unting party of Indians, who were en- camped on November 24 near Cottonwood Grove, on the north fork of the Canadian River. On the announcement that a man who had leit the camp upon tnat date, with a wagon and horses, was missing, a detachment of companies I and K, of the Sixth cavalry, were sent in pursuit under commana of Lieutenant West, who found near Osage Fork the charred remains of the man, wagon and harness. There is no doubt the Kiowas murdered the man and carried off his horses. There is also information that Santana and Big Bow, of the Kiowas, are camped on the Canadian River, south of the point where the murder was committed. The Quakers on Their Indian Mission. A sub-committee oi the House Committee on Appropriations, consisting of Messrs. Lough- ridge, Parker and Hancock, this morning heara Friends Janney, Dorsey, Bright and others in ad- vocacy Of a proposition to advance money for the benefit of the Otol, Missouri and Pawnee tribes of Indians in the Northern Superintendency in ad- vance of the intended sale of their lands, The proposition ig not likely to meet with a javorabie response.

The New Piay at the Fifth Avenue ‘Theatre, Mr. Adolphe Belot’s play, “The Parricide,”’ was Produced at the Fifth Avenue Theatre last night. It was a success in every sense, in the stage set- tings, the acting and the drama itself, The play 1s not comedy, and it is entirely free from all the taints wnich are supposed to be inherent in French comedy, But it is full of absorbing interest, and even when it is most sensational it is not coarse. The story may be very briefly and compactly toid. The mother of Laurent Delissier, a very dissipated young man, is murdered and the “clews” all in- dicate that the son was her murderer, Indeed, he is aceused of the crime by Pulcherie, a companion of Mme. Delissier, to whom he had shown some attentions, but had in the end forsaken for Emilienne Suchapt, the daughter of a very wealthy banker. It is proved that on the very evening of the murder he has an angry mterview with his mother about 10,000f. which she has prorf ised to give him to pay a gambling debt. This money was stolen at the time of the murder, Une of nis sleeve buttons was found at the garden wall over which the murderer must have come, and his boots exactly fitted the foottracks beneath the window by which the house was entered, The wounds were inflicted by Laurent’s dagger, The play is in six tableaux, the curtain falling frst upon the murder and the second time upon Lau- rent’s arrest. The third tableau contains a party at the house of Suchapt, the banker, given through Mme, Suchapt’s desire to show tue world that the tate of the supposed _parri- cide concerus not the Suchapts. It closes with the announcement of Laurent’s acquittal—an alibi aving been established—and his appearance at house of Suchapt, Where “society” refuses to recognize him. Even Emery Suchapt, the spend- thrift son of the banker and one of Laurent’s for- mer friends, fippantly expresses his disbelie: in the verdict, Only Emilienne will give bim her hand, and she only on condition that he finds the real assassin, To this Laurent devotes his lite. The other tableaux are concerned with this duty, the fourth presenting @ view of the greenroom of acircus, Dacolard, the proprietor of which, is the real assassin. With him 1s Lubin, an old villain who plans the crimes Dacolard executes, These had fastened the crime of Mme. Delissier’s assassination upon Laurent by making the clews which led to his arrest, It is need- less to say that in the end justice tri- umphs. une of the characteristics of «4 jailey, each of the actors only comparatively tew lines and little business. There are 26 names in the cast, Of these Miss Fanny Morant appears for a few moments only in the first tableau as Mme. Delissier, and tn the third tableau Mr. D. Whiting and Mrs G. H. Gilbert as Mr, and Mme. Suchapt, Mr. Louis James as Emery Suchapt and the young ladies of soctety play fora very short time. The same is substantially true of Mr. Charles Fisher as Dacolard, Mr. W. Davidge as Lubin and Mr. Owen Fawcett as Regimbaut, and of nearly all the minor parts. Mr. George Clarke as Laurent and Mr, F, Hardenburg as _ Roule the Detective, have the only parts which ron completely through the play. Pulcherie, the de- serted one, is played by Mrs. Sara Jewett, and Emitienne, the banker’s daughter, by Miss Minnie Conway. In sucha multitude of characters and creations there must necessarily be some bad act- ing and many shortcomings, but the ensemble upon which the success of the piece depends was so per- tect it would be invidious, af not impossible, to par- ticuiarize. The scenery was exceedingly fine, especially the banker's parlors, in the third tableau, AS a matter of course, the cireus scene did not fail to give a slight taste of circus business, Musical and Dramatic Notes. Itisatlast determined that Mr. Lester Wallack will appear in Mr. Boucicault’s new comedy, which is to be produced at Wallack’s Theatre on Satur- day evening. The cast will be as follows:—Jaques Colas, Mr. Lester Wallack; the Marquis de Rosny, Mr, John Gilbert; Brisbarre (a lawyer), Mr. Harry beckett; Latour, Mr. J. B. Polk; Charles de Sou- lieu, Mr. E. M. Holland; the Doctor, Mr. G. F. Browne; Gervais (a servant), Mr. W. J, Leonard; the Countess de Rosny Latour, Mme. Ponisi; Renée (her granddaughter), Miss Jeffreys-Lewis; Cathe- rine Colas (mother of Jaques), Miss Laura Alexan- der; Jaquotte (a servant), Miss Blaisdell, Miss Ada Dyas, of the Fifth Avenue Theatre company, arrives by the Java, A concert by the Seventy-tirst regiment band, under the leadership of Mr. F, J, Eben, will be given at the Academy of Music this evening.

CasemConviction of the Defend=- ant. Inthe Newark Court of Quarter Sessions yester- day the trial of Benjamin F, Butts, publisher of a local weekiy newspaper, on an indictment for al- leged libel on City Counsel William H. Francis was concluded, with a result adverse to the defendant. The allegation was that in the paper published by Butts was printed an article entitled a “Fifth Class Cesar,” which contained a severe and biting com- mentary on Mr. Francis for having refused a duly appomted member of the Citizens’ Committee of One Hundred ermission to look at certain city maps in his custody, just as City Auditor Dawes recently refused to allow hig records to be examined because one member of the Investigating Committee was personaliy ob- noxious to him. The State claimed that the article was grossly libellous and that Mr. Batis, as the publisher of it, was amenable, The defence argued that Butts was not the real proprietor of the paper and only the publisher ostensibly, and that the article was merely @ criticism of the public act of a pubiic officer, and that, therefore, he was not responsi- ble, especially as it was fully and clearly shown tion. The cage for the defence was elaborately summed up by Mr. Kalisue, who maintained that the article was merely a criticism, and that no malice whatever, but a good and proper motive to benefit the public, was its basis, After astrong and able argument for the State by Prosecutor Abcel, Judge Ginord charged | the jury, and stated that, im his opinion, the arti- cle in question Was libellous. Alter being ont 20 minutes the jury returned with a verdict of guilty. In consequence of the rulings of the Court in re- gard to certain evidence which he refused, and the manner of his charge, the case will evidently be carried to the higher Court. Three other cases of alleged libel are still to be tried. The most tmpor- tant are the ones upon which public curiusity and anxiety are pretty thoroughly centred, BOSTON TEA FARTY CELEBRATION, PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Dec, 17, 1873. The tea party to commemorate the historical event which occurred in Boston Harbor, 100 years ago, arranged for by the ladies of the Centennial Ward Committee, came off to-night, according to programme. Both the Academy of Music and the Horticultural Hall were connected by means of @ covered bridge. The building was crowded to the utmost capacity, many hundreds veing unable to gain admission. It is estimated that 10,000 people were present. There was an entertainment for chiidren in the atternoon, which was attended by several thousand pers young and old. The entertainment in the evening consisted of tea drinking in Horticultural Hail, where the tables were arrayged, all being beautifully decorated, The exercises were conducted in the Academy ot Mnsic, the meeting being pre- sided over by the Hon. William A. Arm. strong, of Pennsylvania, Addresses were delivered by the presiding officer, Hon. A. R. Botelar, of West Virginia, and James H. Campbell, of this city. Sev- eral nundred ladies, attired in the Martha Wash- ington style, Were present, being seated together in the parquet, which was reserved for that pur- pose. irs. K. D, Gillespie, President of the Wo- men’s Centennial Committee, was presented dur- ing the evening by Mayor Stokely with a handsome gavel made of the original wood upon which the old Liberty bell was mounted, The affair passed olf very successfully. The entertainmeny will be repeated to-morrow. x2 SENTENCED TO BE HANGED, Aunurn, N. Y., Dec, 17, 1873.

Republica: Politicians Divided=—Busi-; ness Men Disgusted. CINcINNATI, Dec, 17, 1878, The Postmastership of this city bas been a sweet bone of contention for some time past, and the question is not likely to be settled in peace and satisfaction by the nomination of Henry Kessler, an old politician of 15 or 20 years’ duration, lt appears that the President had before him the names of W. Cary, Assistant Postmas- ter; J. 8. Lippencott, S. 8 Davis, Gustav Wakile, James Sands, Henry Mack, L, Carr and Daniel Webber. Assistant United States Treasurer W. E. Davis was for Henry Mack, who will be remembered as engaged in a cotton specu- lation down the Mississippi River with the late Jesse R. Grant during the war. Ex-Congressman Benjamin Eggleston was for Jim Sands, and Bob Harlan, the colored mail agent at large, was for Gustav Wakle. Here was a dilemma for the Presi- dent, with three horns to tt, and tt was only height- ened by the fact that the Assistant Treasurer and Ben Eggleston are stockholders in the Ctucin- nati Times, which placed them in the predicament of ahouse divided against itself. The President therefore resolved to choose a fresh man, one en- tirely free from politicai entangiements, He there- lore sent in the name of Henry Kessler. It is almost needless to say that the appointment is disgusting to the business part of the community, and, so tar from being clear of political entanglements and influences, it is simply like rubbing grease ona fat nog. The President had declared in favor of Henry Mack, but Henry relused to take the ofllce except be could be as- sured of freedom from the dictates of the local | open’ Now these latier claim that they beat im by reviving the cotton scandal, and so the matter stands at present.
