| apttmlers WASHINGTON. Burlesque of Business in the House of Representatives. OUR LANGUID LEGISLATORS. —_-——— Failure to Reach a Decisive Vote on Any Important Measure. WasutcTon, March 17, 1874. Repetition of the Do-Nothing Farce in the House Yesterday—No Quorum on the Appropriation Question—Refusal to Reduce Salaries of Capitol Oficials. Ifthe action of the House yesterday and to-day may be taken as accriterion all legislation for this | session of Congress may be said to have ended, if im fact it has ever been begun. Three months and a half ofalong session are already passed and nothing is accomplished, As stated in these de- | spatehes, the session of yesterday was frittered away in idle motions and an aajournment was had two hours before the usual time. It was truly | “plue Monday.” But there isno name for to-day known to the oldest member of the House. Think of a body composed of 292 voting members without @ quorum during the discussion of the Legislative, Judicial and Executive Appropriation bill! The Committee on Mines and Mining occupied tue morning hour, and some time thereafter desultory legisiauve measures engaged the attention of the House till Messrs, Starkweather, of he Appropriation Committee, and McCrary, of the Committee of Railroads and Canals, had a skirmish as to whether the legislative or the transportation bill had precedence, The former was declared winner and the House went into Com- mittee of the Whole. A dozen buncombe five minute speeches were indulged in, going over the history of the country irom the settlement of Jamestown | to the speech of Mr. Dawes. Some were by repub- Means, some by democrats and one by a member who said he belonged to the party of the future. There were effurts made to cut down the salaries of petty officers of the Senate, which the Senate would restore, even had the House agreed to the propositions; and, after two hours of dilly-dally, Mr, Hereford, of West Virginia, called atteution to the fact that the amonnt called for for the salaries of the Senate committee clerks was twice as much as in 1806, and moved to amend by making the ap- propriation $15,000. Just then Mr. Garfield, chairman of the committee, arrived, and assumed charge of the bill He was tired of hearing this talk about economy, and asked for a vote im- mediately. Tellers were appointed, and, to the astonishment of Mr. Garfield, a majority was in favor o! Mr. Hereford’s amendment; but the Chair announced that a quorum had not voted, ‘Mem- bers, will please vote?” For several minutes members straggled in and passed by the tellers, the yeas increasing all the time; and yet, on a pleasant afternoon, as early as half-past three, 147 Representatives, out of a body of 292, were not dis- posed to transact business; and so the committee rose, the chairman reporting to the House that the committee had not been able to accomplish any- thing. It was not enough that this day should have been thrown away; but it was announced | that a great steamship belonging to one of the lines annually subsidized by Congress was to be launched to-morrow at Chester, Pa, It would take ali day to go and come, and as many of the mem | | | | } bers probably neyer saw a ship launched it was | | | unanimously agreed that to-morrow should be de- ,VeGed to debate only, the House surrendering its hall to such members as desire to orate on the interstate transportation question, When it is stated that at the session last night held for a similar purpose only nine members were preseut the public can judge of the farce enacted to-day. Another feature 0! the performance at the national theatre to-day was that the blatant Grang- ers, who have been shrieking “Economy ! economy !” since tne beginning of the session to-day, voted solidly against every proposi- tion to cut down expenses. Not more than four re- publican members voted to reduce the salartes of Capitol employés, So passes away the session, which the Failstaf® of the House to-day declared | woud be perpetuated until it became an August body, which seems just now a somewhat distant consummation, In the evening session to-night the debate on the bill to regulate inter-State rauroad commerce was opened by Mr. Scad- der, of New Jersey, who opposed the bill on legal, constitutional and practical grounds. There were only eleven members present, includiag the Speaker pro tempore, Mr. Sprague, ol Ohio. The debate was continued by Messrs. Holmun, of In- diana, and Cotton, of Iowa, in support of the bill in its general features. Sumner’s Civil Rights Bill—The Jadi- ciary Committee Ready with a Fa-/ vorable Report. In the senate to-day Mr. Frelinghuysen said that some weeks ago, when the Civil Rights bill was under discussion, upon his statement thatif the bul should be referred to the Judiciary Committeg it would be reported back soon, the late Senator from Massachusetts, Mr. Sumner, agreed to the reference. Mr. Frelinguuysen desired to state that the committee had spent two days in perfecting | the bill. It was now ready to be reported to the Senate, havmg received the approval of the ma- jority of the committee; but as the author of the bill had been taken away he would not report it or call it ep until the chairman of the committee, Mr. Edmunds, who favored it, should be present, #o that he might take part in thedebate, The late Senator from Massachusetts had consented to delay on aceount of the ill health of Mr. Edmunds, Probability of the Absence of a Quorum in the Senate To-Day. The example of the House seems to have infected Senators, and it is doubtful to-night whether there will be a quorum to-morrow in the Senate for the transaction of business, Nearly thirty members, who are tired of the long-winded harangues on finance, have determined to go on the junketing trip not so much to see the launch as w have a good time. The action of the House has disgusted many of the new members, to .

With the view of stimulating their weakened in- tellects and to relieve the monotony of their | dreary existence the Warden and Resident Phy- sician of the Lunatic Asylum on blackwell’s Island, at regular intervals, provide pleasing en- fortunates under their care. Yesterday was se- lected as the occasion of one of these happy events, which, with the assistance of the members of the Charity Amateur Dramatic Association, | passed off successtully, cheering for ap pour or so fhose™ who are compassionately” known as “poor lunatics.” Pavilion B was arranged for the requirements of the performance. A stage was constructed, and although a little narrow, it did very well under the circumstances. Thick muslin divided the stage, as required and the and embellishment for that portion of the room, dows, and suspended just inside the main entrance | Was the word “welcome,” tastelully trimmed with flowers and rosettes, A few minutes before three o’clock those selected from the 1,100 inmates to the number oi 20 females, walked from the asylum through the drenching rain with serious mien, and, without confusion, were seated, waiting for— city occupied “reserved” seats, and, while the fiual preparations were being hurriedly made, } opportanity was givea the visitors to scan tie audience, Such a gathering this amateur dramatic associa- tion, nor any other, has not had many opportuni- ties 10 appear before is the reflection that passes through tue mind. Some were sewing, and sewing with a Will, as if on every stitch depended a lite; some were picking ribbons tuat hung about their necks and fastened to different dress; others fuinbled with their iT and now and bor; many were stern, and wita folded arms sat | erect as if they knew that this entertainment was | expressly for their benefit and no levity | would be tolerated; on the faces of others | were idiotic expressions, and more j one of th afflicted creatures hung tueir heads asifin prayer. Some were very young and some very old; around the necks of more than ope were ringlets hanging im rich profusion, but | those with gray hairs outnumbered five to one ther youthini companions. Now and neat trim bodies that looked like old nurses, one of Whom showed a great motherly affection | for a companion nearly her own age, persisting | in calling her “Sis,” and putting her arm caress- | ingly around her neck and drawing her head down upon her shouider as if she was | shielding the gray hairs from some | Ing @anger. Many faces bore marks of tress, and those you turned from with pain at heart, as they produced a disagreeable impres- siou. But one sweet, sad countenance was seen | that made you think that fate had indeed dealt harshly with itsowner. She was not more than nineteen, and, looking upon ber, you were re- | minded of some gem seen in a picture gallery. The fair, broad jorebead, the delicate outline of the lower face, the tender lips and the color of the complexion even told the Pa that she deserved | @ better fate than a living death in a lunauc asylum. The one fatat point was her eyes. They seemed faded and changeiess, @nda you slrunk back from their impressivo | look. " Her voice was sweet and cheerful, for just | ag the curtain was rung up and almost everybody Was staring with wonder at the scene, she leaned over to the Warden and asked, “Is this a funeral, | Mr. Allatre 7” The iarce of “The Rongh Diamond” opened the entertainment, and trequent bursts of laughter assured the officials of the asylum and the visitors who say they would have interposed the single objection which could have compelled the House to meet to-morrow, even if a call had to be made, | but that the one daring to do it would never get | favorable attention if his particular measure | should come up Jor consideration, Whe Legal Status of American Citizens | in Turkey. | Mr. Cameron, from the Com: 2 on Foreign | Relations, reported lavorably to t ate to-day the bill to authorize the President to accept for citizens of the United States the jurisdiction of certain tribunals in the Ottoman dominions and in Egypt, established or to be established the authority of the Sublime Porte and in ernment of Egy ed, Representative Coburn’s Bill tor the Re- daction of the Army—Abolishment of Some of the Regimental and Staff Offices.

Not a boisterous expression was used by any of the audience, and when dismissed they quietly walked out of the building and througo tue rain back to their cheerless home. The old nurse, or she who looks like one, still clung to her charge, and the sweet-faced girl tripped gayly by the side of a demented, brawny shouldered ieliow, making fun of his green ribbons and the immense rosette which he wore upon his leit breast. THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. Session of the Investigating Committee Yesterday—Affidavits About the Public Schools To Be Presented on Thursday. WASHINGTON, March 17, 1874. When the bistrict of Columbia Investigation Committee assembled to-day Senator Thurman an- nounced that Senator Stewart had declined to serve as chairman of the committee, and that the committee had elected Senator Allison to be chair- man, Senator Thurman also declining to act as iding officer. vithe Commitee then heard Mr. Sheliabarger, of | the connsel for the memoriatists, in an argument as wo the power of the committee to compel the production of private papers, notion Of the memo! 7) charges in their present form.

A Great Field Day in the Board Yes- terdsy=The Political Guillotine at Work with a Vengeance—Doing the Right Thing at the Wrong Time—The Irish and German Immigrant Aid So- eleties Driven Off the Field. The Board of Commissioners of Emigration met yesterday afternoon at two o’clock, The follow- ing members were present:—Henry A. Hurlburt, George Starr, George W. Quintard, George J. For- James Lynch. The last two gentlemen are ez | egicio members of the Board, in yirtue of their being, respectively, Presidents of the Irish Emi- | gration Society and the German Society. The President, Mr. Huriburt, was in the chair. Alter adopting the minutes of the last mecting | and hearing the report of the Ward's Island Com- | mittee Mr. Hurlburt arose and read a paper to | draw the attention of the Board toa letter over the signature of Mr. Willy Wallach, that had beeo published ina city journal of the 10th inst. In that letter tt was made to appear that the present Board of Commissioners are “inclined to DISCOURAGE IMMIGRATION PROM GERMANY and to revive the obnoxious and narrow-minded ‘Know Nothing’ agitation.” Mr, Wallach cast re- fections upon the Board in saying that it was ‘under the contro! of professional politicians whe | wanted every office for their own friends and partisans.” Mr. Hurlburt hurled back this charge as unworthy of any gentleman who hus ever occupied so responsiple a position as that of Commissioner of Emigration, and wanted this damaging statement stamped as a@ falsehood by this Board. No previous Board hac done so much to- wards settling the South with German immigrants | asthe present. A German clergyman, Mr. Robert | Newman, had been employed since November last, and the result of his labors was that the passages of 314 persons had been paid to South Carolina, | one of the States which ex-Commissioner Wallach wanted to make it appear bad been overlooked. The speaker was never a Know Nothing, andhad | # “no prejudice against any industrious foreigner of | | any nationality.” The present Board 1s the crea- | tion of last year’s legislation. It had been formed | in compliance with demands for reform. The old Board it was that had been contaminated by CONTACT WITH THE TAMMANY RING, and their appointees were no better than they ought to be. They were, for the most part, Ring democrats, Changes were expected at the hands of this Board, but not such as would make it parti- san. For these changes the Commissioners, who possessed the right to vote upon appointments and remoyals, were responsible, not the two Presidents (of emigration societies), for they were denied the right of voting upon such questions, This is not an Irish, Engitsh, German, French or | foreign Board, but one of oMcers of the State of New York, to protect and care for emigrants of all nationalities, and it should do its duty as such, After hearing the above paper read through Mr. Lynch observed that he thought reflections touch- ing party polltics should not be renewed, Mr. Kaulmann expressed his urgent wisn to be relieved from the Castle Garden Committee. He vehemently affirmed that Wallach’s statements German immigrants and their representatives by the new Board . WERE PERFECTLY WELL FOUNDED, Mr. Starr believed that the falling off of German immigration is more due to the late panic and re- cent advance of the price of labor in Europe than to any other cause.

An Animated discussion now ensued betteen essrs. Stephenson and Lynch, with regard to the alleged rivalry that Was said to exist between the Irisa and German elements about Castle Garde: especially with reterence to sending the 314 Ger man immigrants to South Carolina, without giving ay of the Irish an opportunity of profiting by the chance, ctr rc Upén Thotion of “Mr.” Starr a4 resolution was adopted by wich the keepers of boarding houses, their runners or representatives, are excluded from the buildings and offices about Castle Garden, without permission from the Board. At the suggestion of Mr. Starr a resolution was, adopted whereby August Wagner was appointed telegraphist to the commussion, ata salary of $595 per annum, A resolution was adopted for the purpose of re- questing the Dock Commissioners to repair the dock attached to the premises at Castle Garden, as it is in a ruinous condition. Mr. Kaufmann said that the flooring of the ro- tnnda is in a wretched condition, and wanted an | address fo be sent to the three eae 1 ratiroad companies who are mainty benefited by the use of it, requesting them to do the necessary repairs. Mr. Lynch saw the commission running into debt, There is no extravagance in the Board ex- cepting a couple of little sinecures of $1,000 or $2,000 a year. The $1 50 head money from the im- migrants is not at all sufficient, and THE SINEWS OF WAR MUST BE SOUGHT IN ALBANY, The Board cannot exist as it ts to-~lay, and, ifit | died, the Unitea States government would step in and take the whole matter in hand, Mr. Starr said the commission was accused of being extravagant, and that the too numerous em- ployés were receiving very !ligh salaries, Some- thing should be done to satisfy public opinion, There are times when the employés, if not entrely tdie, are at least but partially employed. He Wanted to abolish some positions and reduce the salary of others. Mr. Kauliwann thought that while it is possible some of the officers may do little in the depths of two or three winter months, it did not therefore Jollow that these employés should be dismissed. There are doubtless removais and reductions of expenses that could be made with advantage to the Board, put they should be carried outin @ proper time and manner. Mr. Starr moved that the services of E. B, | Cunney, clerk of Ward’s Island Committee, be dis+ | pensed with, | | This was the signal for an explosion of protests from Messrs. Lynch and Kautmann, who, together With Mr. Forrest, got up, grabbed their umbrellas and overcoats, and LEFT THE MEETING ROOM, remarking as they aid so that the Board had now no working quorum present. The iour remaining Commissioners decided that | there was a quorum present. Mr. Starr then called for the previous question, and under its operation the following removals and changes were unant- mously made, this gentleman moving the changes in the Castle Garden department and Mr, Stephen- won those of Ward’s Island :— The services of E. B. Cunney, clerk of the Ward's Island Committee, were dispensed with, Mr. Rice, clerk, removed. R, Snoburn, clerk, dismissed, Alexander McDonald, clerk of the Irish Emigra- tion Society, discharged.
