WASHINGTON. Quandary of the ‘Financial Philosophers of Congress. eee PROVISIONS OF THE MOIETY MEASURE, —_—_---— Defence of Officials of the Dis-- trict of Columbia. ‘WASHINGTON, May 23, 1874- The Financial Situation in Congress— Composition of the Committee of Con- | | Bank. ference—Both Parties in a Quandary. | The House to-day made short work of the Car- Fency bill, refusing to pass the substitute offercd by the Banking and Currency committee, and also relusing to concur in,tifg Senate amendments to the original Huse bill, A conmittee of con- ference being asked, the Speaker appointed Mr. | Maynard chairman and Mr. Farwell, a member of the Banking and Currency Committee, the former QD advocate of the original bill amended by the Senate and the latter of the comprofnise meas- ure, and Heisier Clymer, a domocrat and an uncompromising opponent of inflation, The ques- tion of a conference comiuittee is now be.ore the Benate, and the extent of political diplomacy prac- tised to-night cannot be narrated, It ts well known that Speaker Blaine is a hard money man, and has most zealously labored during the present session to bring about a happy compromise. The President’s veto rises up whenever the inflation. ists propose to stick, and the reported declara- tions of the President that he would not deviate from the policy laid down in his | methods of protection, In combination with other ) Safeguards of engraving, &c., and that it was in- NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, ia the only one in the world possessing machinery | capable of mannfacturing toe localized fibre paper, | and that it cammot be successfully imitated by hand, He had never claimed that entirely ade- quate protection against counterfelting could be Attained merely by the use of his paper; but claimed that It surmished one of the very best comparably more eMcactous in this regard than water-marked paper. He explained the system of government inspection at his milis, where there are a government superiniendent, an assistant to watch tne registering of the sheets us manufac- tured and thirty or thirty-five ladies to inspect and contro! the same. In reply to a question by the committee he admitted that the Bank of England used watermarked paper, but called aitention to the fact tMat very heavy penalties are in force against the outside use of this paper, and that the Bank of England notes are never re- issued, but destroyed as soon as returned to the ‘Tne use of bis fibre made paper neither | betier nor worse in point of wear. He laid before the committee a letser written by W. E. Hudson, of the Hudson and Cyoney Paper Company, to his (Mr. Willeox's) foreman, June 8, 1869, in which Mr, Hudson gaid:— | Now, in regard to the United States paper you are making, I want a sheet of tt, and if you | Will get me one, or hall a sheet, I will promise you | on the square that you shail fever be known in | tue getting of it, and if Thave success in getting a | contract | Wili make it pay you better than any- | thing vou cver had yet. So be sure and get me a | Baiaple OL it, and f will pay you more than money | at interest 1! Lam suecessiul, which I hope to be, | Now, let this be on the square, and let me hear | Jrom you, and have a sheet of the paper atonce. | Mr. Wilcox said this was a proposition tor his foreman to betray ms secret, and connive at Jelony, which the law makes the pos- session of this paper in outside hands, | The proposition was rejected by the fore- man. Mr, Willcox submitted uiso a letter written by P. W. Hudson tothe same foreman March 16, 1870, in which effort was made to ascertain the | secret of his manufacture of localized fibre paper. Message do not encourage tlic contractionists i} to propose a compromise. In the Senate the President pro tem. is om the side of the inflation- ‘sts, and will have the appointment of the con- ference committee on the part of the Senate when | that body agrees to the resolution of the House. The absorbing question, therefore, has been who will Carpenter appoint? To-nizit he had a long interview with tne President, and left him fully Satisfed that, with the complexion of the House committee, no selection could be fairly made in the Senate whici would promise a hope even of Sereeing upon a bill which would pass both houses ana be acceptable to the President, Senator Sherman and Senator Ferry or Logan will be selected on the part of the Finance Committee, and one of the democratic Senators trom the South, who was in favor of expansion, will be ap- Pointed 28 a representative of that side on the part of the Senate. The Senator who has re- ceived an intimation that he might be asked to serve as the representative of the Senate outside the committee reluctantly says that he does not see what honor there can be in bearing the record of having been made the scapegoat of the Senate. So the matter stands, and the inflation and con- traction Senacors are in a quandary what to do, and are serlously discussing whether it would not be better to lect the whole matter drop than con- tinue itonly forashort time by agreeing to the appointment of a conference committee, The Abolishment of Moteties Except in Cases of Smuggling= Hoped-for Success of the Bill—Seizure of Books and Papers. The Senate Commitiee of Finance have substan- tially agreed upon a moiety bill, and will probably yeport it to-morrow. As a whole It 1s made up of the combined bills known as the Fenton bill of the Senate und the Roberts bill of the Honse. peals all moietics and takes from the customs officers all share in fincs, penalties and forfeitures. it, however, retains the moiety feature in case of smuggling where actual seizure is made. The committee have reinstated a section in regard to the seizure of books ‘and papers in place of the one stricken out | the case are covered in Mr. Mattingly’s argument, Ttre- | , Sion of the United statea of the Roberts bill in the House, but which more | carefully guards the authority of seizure, The bill provides for the forfeiture of a single item undervalued in an invoice instead of forleiture of the whoie as in the existing Jaw, and in addition — Ampores a penalty, Not to exceed $5,000, for each offence of fraudulent or intentional undervaina- | tion. It estyblishes fixed salaries for all officers of customs at the various ports of entry in the United | States:—For collectors, at New York, $12,000; at Boston and San _ Francisco, $8,000 each, and at the other ports a graduation of salaries upon the basis of duties coliected and of the tonnage business down to $500, which 1s the | lowest sum. The surveyors, naval officers and | s@ppraisers at ports where these officers aro | authorized, are provided for in like manner, be- ginning at New York, where $8.009 is the sum fixed for tuese oMcers. The bill also revises the regulations in regard to the general order and cartage business. Jt will be, doubtless, taken up early next week, and if tt snall become a law, of which there seems to be no doubt, it must remove, ina great measur, the wrongs and injustice of the present system, The only feature that will ve likely to meet serious opposition is that looking to the seizure of books and papers. Upon this the committee are not agreed, and asa similar provision was stricken out by an almost unanimous vote in the House, ttis likely to share the same fuie in the Senate. After it passes the Senate it will go to the House, aud, in all proba- bility, pass there also without amendment or change. This will obviate the necessity of a con- | ference committee, which will be required ii there | is any disagreement. This legtsiation will accora very fully with the representations and views of the committees of merchants from New York, Bos. ton, Philadelphia and Baltimore, who have fora Jong time past been in consultation with the Com- ‘Mittee of Ways and Means of the House, ana with ‘that on finance in the Sepate. Bill for the Regulation of Congressional Elections and Prevention of Frauds. Representative Tremain, of New York, reported from the Committee on Judiciary to-day, in order that it might be printed, a bill.prescribing certain regulations in relation to the election of Senators, Kepresentatives and delegates in Congress. It provides that tally sheets, lists of voters and all | other papers cast at an election for Senators, Rep- resentatives or Delegates in Congress shall be kept by the lawfal custodian of the same until after the adjournment of the first session of the Congress next thereaiter to be affected by said election. In case of an allegation of fraud by either party to a contest such lists and papers may be produced on proper subpoena and shal! be carefully examined. Any custodian re/using to keep such papers or to produce them when cailed for shall be liable to a tine of $1,000 at the sutt of the party asking for the production of the papers. All close of the day of election, and if the oMcers aud managers decline to make such vount they shall be liable to fine and imprison- ment. One section prohibits the sale or yilt of vinous, malt or spirituous liquors to any voter at an election for representative or Delegate su Con- gress, and any person violating the provision of ‘this section shall be liable to ihe punishment of a fine of not less than $200 nor more tnan $600 and dmprisonment for not less than six months nor more than two years. Any use of firearms or ‘threats to use frearms at such election shall also votes shail be counted at the | be punished by fine and imprisonment. Any city, | county, town or parish having fifty voters may | have an election precinct esiablisied npon peti- tion to the Circuit Judge, if there shall be no pre- cinct within six miles, The bill will be reported for action when the commitice next obtain we | floor. Investigation of the Manufacture of mited States Bank Note Paper=—The | Bank of England Bills, ‘The House Banking and Currency Committee to- fay examined James M. Willcox, of Philadelphia, regarding his manufacture of localized fibre paper for national currency. He repited to statements of P. W. Hudson, recently made before the com- mittee, that he (Hudson) had underbid Willcox, and that the jatter’s paper can be easily counter- telted, Willcox swore that bis mili at Gien’s Falls ‘ ton in the South of the children of the whites ) bia sine qua non, and it will be almost as dan- The letter concludes as follows:— | 1 only want to know for curiosity and not to | make use of, but to make & strong, plain bond, If youcan help me about it I would consider ita great favor, and what you write me will be strictly received on the square, On monon of Mr. Phelps the committee decided | to summon Mr. McUartee, Chief of the Bureau of | Printing and Engraving, to appear before them and give oral testimony to-morrow, The Defence of the District of Colum- bia Authorities.

The Vacancy in the District Board of Public Works, No action as as yet been taken on the nomina- tion of Lieutenant Hoxsie to succeed Adolph Oluss. It was referred to the District of Columbia Committee and at their meeting it was voted that the committee should determine their action | thereon through an informal consultation outside of the committee room. The Transfer of the Louisville and Portland Canali to the Government, To carry out the provisions of the act of Con- gress, approved May 1, providing for the pay- mnt of the bonds of the Lonieville and Portland | Canal Company, Major Godfrey Weitzel, of the Corps of Engineers, is appointed to proceed to — Louisville and confer with the President and di- rectors of said company with a view to making the necessary arrangements for receiving and taking charge of the canal and all the property, real and personal, of said canal company and the property of the United States. Major Weitzel is empowered to agree with the canal company upon some day subsequent to the thirty days named in the act for the transfer of the canal to the United States, and is authorized to take charge of the same when it shall have becn delivered into the possea- Agricultural Congress and Industrial Exposition to be Held by the Govern- ment of the Netherlands. Information bas been received at the Depart ment of State from the Netherlands Minister that his government proposes to hold a second Con- gress in the month of April, 1875, at Djokjoxarta, in the island of Java, for the purpose of developing agriculture and tts kindred sciences in the East Indies, and, in order to make the occasion one of more importance and interest, it nas been deter- mined to hold at the same time an agricultural and industria] Exhibition, to which foreign nations are invited to send their productions, Tne Nether- Jands Minister expresses the hope of his govern- ment that citizens of the United States interested im the matter will take part in the proposed Exhi- bition. The Day of Deliverance June 22—Mea- ger Results Anticipated from Agitation ef the Currency, Tariff’ and Civil Rights Questions—Retrenchment and the Coming Elections. WASHINGTON, May 27, 1874, The two Houses are working with the purpose and the expectation of getting through with the indispensable appropriations and some of the other important measures pending by the 220 of June, and the Members are making their per- sonal arrangements for a dispersion on that day. With retrenchments to the extent of some $20,000,000 upon the original estimates for the fis- cal year of the executive departments, and with an increase in the receipts of the Treasury for the last three months exceeding by $10,000,000 the December estimates of the Secretary, there will be no excuse for increased taxations, and so our tariff and internal revenue laws will not be materi- ally changed, if disturbed at all, this session. The moditications of the tariff! proposed by the Com- mittee of Ways and Means signify very little and will most likely end tn nothing. The Jayne moieties and Sanborn contracts will, it 1s believed, judging from the vote in tne House yesterday, be abolished within the next two weeks, though the Senate may materially modify the bills of the House upon these subjects, Hopes are still entertained by the currency in- flationists of a currency and tree banking bill Which will secure the President’s approval, and which Will, nevertheless, give the South and West a very material increase of the national currency without the hara conditions of increased taxation to meet the additional obligations thus to be incurred. { Nevervheless it is generally apprehended that another veto will be required to bring the “more currency” men to @ proper appreciation of the | President’s position on this question. In view of this tmpedtment tie prospect becomes “small by | degrees and beautifully less” every day of any cur- | rency bill this session disturbing the existing or- | der of things, The Civil Rights bill of the Senate b afire in the House, and there are some wise republicans who desire to give it the slip, or they will hold it back if they can; but those vigilant colored senti- | nela, Messrs, Raincy, Elliott, Douglass and Down- ing say that this Civil Rights bill must be passed; for, if not passed, there are 800,000 Americans of | African descent who will have a word to say upon the subject in the coming State elections. On the other hand, that faithful old Tennessee loyalist and radical republican, Senator Brownlow, has warned his party in Congress, in a deep growl from Knox- | ville, that the attempt to mix Southern whites and blacks in the same schools will be so extremely offensive to the whites as to be disastrous to the | blacks and destructive of the growing harmony between the two races, That other dis- tinguished Congressional invalid who has | also gone home to die, Alexander H. Stephens, of Georgia, has uttered a similar note of warning to the party in power against the criminal folly of the attempt to force the associa- with the children of the blacks in the same schools and on@ footing of social equality. But since the death of Sumner the colored elements of the republican party have made this Civil Rights gerous for the party to dodge it as to reject it; but stil an attempt will be made to dodge it—first in ; Several tustances were related by | which mothers had been seized wit! : Suggestion and imitation aet very “ohild | satisfied with the instruction which tne) | tious, 1 Sha | The MAY ‘29, 1874.—TRIPLE SHEET. the House and next between the two houses if the Senate bill should be amended, The republicans from this session of Congress will go betore the people, and upon the stump in the field work of the approaching elections for the ' next Congresa,upon their record o: retrencuments, and some of these retrenching republicans say that, whlle these retrenchments in many ways will seriously cripple the administration for electioncering purposes, the effect in weakening Genera) Grant will be good for the party, inus- much as the party has done enough jor and has had enougn of General Grant. It 1s understood that the repubitcans in the commg clections are to fieht for and on the genoral platiorm of the ad- ministration, but that General Grant is to be held responsible jor any misiortuncs that may occur to the party, while it is apprehended that the Party will be beaten out of the House of Repre- sentatives, But, in the next place, the withdrawal of General Grant trom the Presidential field ander | the conviction that he is not wanted for another term, will indemuily the party, itis said, for the loss of the next House of Representatives. are, perhaps, twenty republicans in this Congress dreaming nightly of the White House, who are satixtied that while General Grant remains a can- didate for a third term they dream in vain, and | that, even If it be dune at a considerable sacrifice, he snust be got out of the way. “MORBID IMPULSE.” vofessor William A. Hammond on Im- pulse as Distinguished from Insanity. The regular monthly meeting of the New York Meico-Legai Society was held last evening at the lecture room of the College of Physicians and Sur- geons, Fourth avenue and Twenty-third street. Mr, Clark Beli, the President of the society, occu- | Pied the chair, and George W. Wells, M, D,, acted as Secretary. The paper of the evening, on “Morbid Impulse,” was read by Professor Wil- Nam A. Hammond. The lecturer began by re- lating several strange anecdotes illustrative of the sndden appearance of a morbid impulse in diseased minds. Morbid impulse may be deiincd as the condition in which @ person 18 tempted to commit an trrational ana | desperate deed, which impulse may be in the mind Jor weeks or months. The sufferer may be unwill- ing to admit tie presence of any such thoughts until the demon seems to gain control of him. Morvid impulses ave not to contused with cpi- leptic cases. In trne morbid impulse the person is periectly aware of the deed he Is about to commit. He acts deliberately, and if his purpose may be thwarted by circumstances, returns to the scheme. the lecturer in ‘han impulse to kill their children. A young man in this city con- sulted the lecturer only a jew days since, stating iat ne had been actuated by a terribie tm- puise to killa friend. He aamitted to the lecturer that be would have been guilty of the most pre- meditated murder. A few years ago a young man wus arrested in this a for stealing women’s shoes. He admitted that he and attacked no value to them, but merely stole them lor the gratification of a morbid tinpulse. The murder of the Organ grinder by Waltz is a very recent example of morbid impulse. The jurisprudence of France ia filled with examples of crimimal morbid impulse. Pome‘oy is wortuy of notice. The victims of this boy were variously mutilated, and this boy, When ar- rested, admitted that he was guilty of the out- rages. He was sent to the House of Correction, but there exhibited few signs of illtemper. He was pardoned, aud kilicd » boy only a few. months since, He said trat he wanted to be put where he could not do such thin; ‘the young man who threw nitric acid on ladies’ dresses in the vicinity of Union square consulted the lecturer for treat- Ment for the morbid impulse ich he had to de- stroy silk dresses. 1 recommended @ eee OD a Sailing vessel. He returned sever: after perfectly cured. Many persons who to great ‘heights are impeligd 1o commit suicide. Such people shoula AS igk o aloft. Persons nave hanged themselvés frm eesing ropes; others have committed suicide trom seeing @ revolver or a knife. The morbid impnise 15 nurtured by the de- tatled accounts of suicides apd murders in the daily papers.

The Rev. W. P. Corbett then offered prayer. After the band had played selections irom “Genevisve de Brabant” Dr. Wiiliam Arcuer read the report of the Faculty, showing that the institution con- tinued to grow and is in a flourishing condition. He congratulated the graduating class upon the spirit of fraternal fellowstip and stuctous ardor which had pervaded it during the past session. He alluded, also, to the pleasing fact that the Races had passed resolutions eulogizing the ‘acuity, Which showed, at least, that omoe iad re- ceived in the past. Professor Wilder then torm- | ally conferred the degree of doctor upon the fol- lowing graduates:—isaac J, Brooks, Willis KE. Crowell, Mrs. Ada BE.

Yet tt is now more than evident that the stage drivers are virtually and practically bomfep. There are 250 stages in this city, divided among the diferent tines as follows:— Twenty-third street line, 60 stages; Fifth avenue line, 60 stages; Fourth avenue line, 35 stages; Fourteenth street line, 30 stages.

One cast in 3,232 fathoms was made im 1b, | 87m, 593.; another in 3,009 fathoms occupied only 1h, 29m, 34s. A sketch of the device adopted was sent trom Honolulu. [(NoTr.—This device con- sisted im entirely detaching the heavy shot use@ upon the apparatus reaching the bottom, white the bottom was reached ; More rapidly by adopting the water holder guide of aspiral shape, which, revolving in the descent forced the water through holes in the upper part.) ACCIDENTS. | Two accidents occurred in running this last Hine, which resulted in the 1038 of a considerable amount of the wire. In one instance, sounding in 3,046 fathoms, the trade wind blowing very iresh, caus ing a beavy sea, the ship gave a heavy, lurching roll when reeling in, throwing the wire across the rim of the drum, the edge of which, acting like a | knife edge, cut the wire short of, and nearly 3,000 fathoms were lost. This was the frst mishap im , 150 consecutive casts with the same reel of wire, } aud the more to be regretted on that account. | Again, sounding in 2,956 fathoms, the sinker caught in some way, and could not be detached, and after ) Tepeated attempts to get rid of the shot I deter- mined to haul it back, for there seeuied to be No other way out of the diMculty; but in getting “yeady to reel in the strain was 80 great that the pawi of the machine was to! Way, and, though * two men had hold o/ the drum, over thirty fathoms of the wire ran out so rapidiy that it kinkea and broke, and 2,800 fathoms more were lost. These accidents were exceptional, and by no means ought to work disparagement to the wire, the tenacity of which is marvellous, and irs adapta | bility jor the purpose in question unequalled, \ THE DBRPEST WATER OF THE PACT?! | Ibelieve it has hitherto been the opinion of sci | entists that the eastern part of the Pacific is the | deepest, but this line oF soundings, rua through | the heart of the North Pacific, proves to the con- trary, the deepest water having been found much nearer ihe shores of Asia than to the coast of the ‘United.

But, while the bed is comparatively regular, and ) the character of its soil nearly uniform between San Diego and Honolulu, a range of submarine mountains is found to exist between the Hawaiiat and Bonin groups, with soll of varying character, the valleys sending up light yellow-vrown ooge oF ; mud in the specimen cups, and the sides and tops | of the mountains, coral limestone and sand, with tragments of tava. In three or four instances, oo, ) solid rock Wus struck, the cups begin up empty, and the points tresh!y battered; in others the ooze from the plateaus was found to contain particies: { and fragments of lava, and in one specimen | brought up sixty miles from the base of ope of the | Submarine peaks quite a lump of the same mate- | rial was jound. Coral, sand and lava ts also found all the way from the Bonin group to the coast of Japan, and, in short, the entire region west of the ' Hawaiian Isiands would seem to have been syb- Jected at some remote period to voicanie disturbs ances.

Six of these submarine mountains were dis- covered, ranging irom 7,000 feet to 12,000 feet in heighi, und Marcas Island, which rises scarcely more than from thirty to sixty feet above the sur- face, hes directly in thig range. A cast some eight mules from that island gave @ depth of 1,499 fath- oms, Coral and lava bottom, and the high, wide | white beach, occasio: broken with ‘lange, black voicanic-lookiug rocks, preseuted the same dazzling white appearance characteristic Of the beaches on the suores of the Bonin Group; and those beaches are ali composed of broken coral.
