Mr. CHANDLER, (rep.) of Mich., said this amend- Ment was in the interest o: smugglers, and he teit sure the Committee on Finance did not want to Make any law o1 that nature.

He said tie law already pro- hibited any Senator, Representative or Delegate im Congress from acting as agent or attorney, and there Was uo necessity Jor iresn enactment on the subject. The other part oi the bill was for a repeal of the law under which the Sanborn contract was awarded, and the Committee on Finance should act on that. ‘The bill was referred to that committee. THE MOIETY BILL AGAIN. The Senate then resumed cousieration of the Moiety bill, and a lengthy discussion ensued, An amendment to the tourteenth seccon, pro- posed vy the Fiance Cumuitiee, authorizes tue Court, o1 its motion or When requesied so to do by either party, to submit to the jury as a uistinct and separate proposition, whetner or not tue al- leged acts were done Witi aD actual intention to detraud the United Staves, or to submit uny other specific interrogatory material to a determination Oi the issue, and to require specii findings thereon by the jury; or li such issue be tried by the Court without a jury, it shall be the auty of the Court, when requested to do so by either party, to find the facts aud enter ihe same as part oi tue records. Mr. EDMUNDS opposed the bill, and said that in his opinion its passage woula bave a Worse eifect upon the morals O/ men toan the present laws on the subject. it would be a disaavantage to honest importers, and result in wnjury to taxpayers. He had no-doubt that is passed the Senate wouid ve called upon to repeal it in less than four years, Mr. HOWE, (rep.) of Wis, said the bill was too much in the imterests of those who wished to evade payment 0: duties, though he knew it was tention of the Finance Committee to irame such @ bill, and he would vote ugainst tue amendment. Mr. SHERMAN said that he was authorized by the Finance Committee to withdraw the section in re- lation to the salaries of customs officers, except that part which appited to Boston, New York and San Francisco. At these three piaces it would be & great injustice not to increase tue salaries, now that moieties had been repeaied.

He thougnt this bill had a wrong title; 11 should be called a vill to Protect Smuggling. Mr. SHexMan said there seemed to be much op- position to this section and amendment.

WADLEIGH, (rep.) of N. H., moved to further amend the section so that it nid read :—*That | Mothing herein contained snati affect the existing Fight of the United States, or prevent a distriba- tion,” &c. Agreed to: yeas 21, nays 20. Mr. BOUTWELL moved to strike out the following words in section 1l:—But nothing herein con- tained shail prevent any owuer or claimant from Obtaming @ release of such merchanuise on giving @ bond Wita sureties satisfactory to the Collector, Or, im cage of judicial proceeuin. s, satisiactory tO the Court or Judge thercot, tor the payment of any fine or fines So incurred; provided, however, that suct merchandise sali in no case be released until ali acerued duties thereon shall have veen paid or secured.” Agreed to, The bill was then reported to the Senate and the amendmetts dé im Committee of the Whole were agreed to, with the exception of the tweuty- ninth section.

The conclusions oi the committee are that the report- ing of the debates is being done for $8,200 less for each House jor the present Congress than the like Work cost in the last Congress; that the printing of the debates at the government printing office costs at least $126,000 less than was paid to Rives Mr, | & Bailey for the same work in the last Congress; that the preseat quarto form of the Daily Record is greatly preferable to the newspaper jorm, and that on these and other grounds it would be tne reverse of economy to enter into the proposed con- tract with Rives & Bailey.

Mr. HYNES, (rep.)of Ark., objected unless he was permitted to olvr an umendment that no part of the claims shall be pat. until the department has been satisiled ol their correctuess, | Mr. SENR objected to that on the ground that | it would permit tue department to be the ulumate Judge in the matter, so the resolution was uot re- ceived. | Mr. SPEER, (dem.) of Pa., a member o! the Com- mittee on Contingent Expenses tu the Department: ol Justice, adaressed the House on he subject of | mittee that Mr. Pinchback was not elected was | The second resolution of the minortty of the | Committee, reported @ substitute for tue Geneva | Award vill The bill having been read in full Mr. | Smee Alt Toa ae Peace kot ch) ele eS OUeRl Fs Ie > LE Pie eY. wae Seas A Oa. ¥ | back on the champions of war premium claims the | with the proper officer of the ciub or in possession assertion that tue Committee nad been cheated into admitting that provision, ‘The assertion was totahy untewnded in fact.

Y., mext ad- dressed the House, He said that there were two theories lying at ine root of the whole question. ‘The first was that the government was 1he apso- lute owner of ihe lunas to be disposed of, like other moneys in the Treasury, acco:diug to she pleasure of Congress. ‘Ihe other theory was that the government held this und as a trust. If the tund was a. Ae ger aremnent property then tne gentieman from Massachusetts (Mr. Butler) was correct, and Congress mignt do with it according to its will, fi, on the other hand, it was a jund | acquired in trust by the process of @ littsation to | which nations were the parties, then ths government was bound, by the highest considera- tions that could rest on a nation, to discharge that trast in honor and good conscisnce, le pro- ceeded to argue in support of the latter theory. | In couclusion he said, ‘Put this fund at the dis- posal of some competent tribunal: then allow everyman who has a claim or thinks he has a claim, to gointo that court and litigate ior nis rights. When that is done, let the court make its | award, let the pation bow thereto and let us add | lo that grand example of the Geneva '‘Ireaty the grandest example o! a strong nation submitting its claims and the ciatms of ail its citizens to tne law, and bowing with eq7al submission to the flat of our highest Court of Justice. Mr. POLAND, of Vermont, also argued against the vill reported by Mr. Butier on the ground that the claims for war premiums bad been presented and rejected before the Geueva tribunal. He argued | that the government stood in the capacity o! an | | agent for the owners oi the ve-seis and goods destroyed by the reoe! cruisers aud enumerated in the lists, The sum awarded covered just those | amounts with interest. He could vos think of words and would not jeel ar liberty to use words that would express the condemn ition aud abhor- rence which he ielt for the bill of the committee. Mr. MONROE. (rep.) of Obio, was the next speaker. He justified and advocated the position tuken in the suostitute reported by Mr. Butler, | arguing that the United States government did | not stand at Geneva in the capac ty of an attorney | representing bis chents, but that the quesnion of | Tesponsibility was presented and decided as be- | tween government and government, and that con- sequently the United States goverument was not restricted in its application o1 the amount of we award, but wasat liberty to use its own best judg- ment in the matter. Mr, BURLRIGH, (rep.) of Me., spoke for ten min- utes in support of Mr, Butler’s substitute, At the close of his speech (tive o’clock) the House took a recess till hau-past seven. Toe evening session was forgeneral discnzsion. The debate on she Geneva oill Is to be con- tinued to-morrow till turee o’clock, when the pre- vious question is to be considered, seconded, and, siter a closing speech by Mr. Butler, the vote is to be taken. ~ YACHTING. The Regatta of the New York Yacht Club. The annual regatta of the New York Yacht Club will be salied to-morrow, Thursday, June 11. The | entries yesterday c.osed as loliows: FIRST CLAS3 SCHOONEXS. the enormous expenditures in the Western Judi- | cial district Of Aréansas, [A summary oO! the com- | muttee’s report on tue subject Was embraced in | last Saturday's House proceedings.) de spoke of tue Juage oc that district_as@ person with the name of Story, irom Wisconsin, who bad remained in ihat pusition to mock the ad- ministration of justice, and woo, it not personaliy qisuonesi (and he believed he was) had been dur- ing his Whole term o1 office the iriend aud bosom | companion of rascals aud thieves, He nad made | an analysis of the expenditures in that district, irvim which he discovered that, outside of ine large amounts paid to Witnesses und jurors, the Marsnal anu his deputies and clerks received in tifree | years tne enormous sum of $432,101. | Mr. CESSNa. {rep.) 0. Pa., @ member of the Judi- | clary Committee (which has been investigating the Same matter in connection with the proposed impeachment of Judge Story) stated that in tour- teen months und twenty Gays the Marshal’s office Ol toat district had cost the government a little over $403,000, | INFAMOUS HISTORY OF JUDGE STORY'S COURT. Mr. SPEER, in the iurther course of bis remarks, said that the cust ol the court for its actual ses | sion8 were $2,5.0 @ day. ‘The accounts bore the | unerasible marks of the boldest and most auda- | cious frauds. He recoanied the history of tne | Western district of Arkansas, which had started, | he said, with a corrupt jue yudge who was in the habit o1 aamitting to bail persons tried and | convicted of capital offences and letting them go | free lor ever aiterwards; @ judge who was shown | to have bought tne certificates issued for the pay | of jurors aud Wituesses at a discount of forty or tty or sixty cents om the dollar; a judge who | was charged witn having received a bribe of $2,500 for admittmg a nolle prosequi to be entered in @ certaim case: a judge whose records were marred and interlined and erased and confused: a judge who had approved | one ot the marshal’s vouchers for $20,000 in blank; | ajudge who had allowed the government to be | funderea of wundreds of thousands of dollars. | ‘ was, however, out justice to that judge to say, that, im response to the committe2’s invitation, he had appeared before it and made @ statement, That statement was lame and unsatisiactory, It was not the statement of a man conscious o! his otticial and personal integrity, not tne statement | of aman who felt keei the injustice done to him by such charges, but the statement of @ cringeipg, snrinking, cowardly, corruvt man. The next figure in toe irauds was an infamous and corrupt marshal, named William A. Britton, and the means adupied by hint were the getting 0: fictitious lists of deputy marshals and making out bills in such names; also the buying Up OI Vouchers ior juro:s, Witnesses and ee Toes at twenty, thirty aud forty cents on the dollar, and im some instances cartloads o! them could be got at two bits on the dolls, which vouchers Were aiterwards ali in full at the ‘reas ury Department. He stated that, suspicion having been aroused in Washingion, an investi. gation by the Grand Jury was ordered, and it Was so arranged by Mr. Britton and the District Attorney (also a party to the irauds) that & favorable report should be made, and so the bills were paid, and Mr. Britton, who had veen re- moved, was reinstated by the President in the ab- sence o! the Attorney General. But the Attorney General had a.terwards gone bevore the Senate and had the appoimtment of Mr. Britton rejecte But d sposing oi Mr. Britt @ worse man was appointed in the person oi Logan H.

THE COMMUNIST FLIGHT. { Departure of Grousset and Jourde Ycs- terday for England—Evidences of Dis- agreement Among the Communists— Future Movements of the Two Leaders. | Messrs. Paschal Grousset and Jourde, the cele- | brated communista, after a week’s stay in this | city, left yesterday for Europe by the steamship | Wisconsin, of the Williams & Guion Lfhe. They lert the hotel where they have been stopping at about twelve o’clock, being accompanied by the brothers May, who are the best known relics of the Paris Commune resident in the city. Otherwise | they had no attendance, as it was not generally | known that they were to take so abrupt a depar- | ture, Asin the case of Rochefort only a few per- sonal friends knew of the intended departure, and @ fraction of these gathered on the wharf to bid the ex-Ministers of Finance and Foreign Affairs farewell, There was no actual surprise in the departure, huwever, as both Grousset and Jourde had announced themselves as op- posed to any banquet or pudlie reception by the communists in this city, thus following the example of Rochefort, who thougnt very sensibly | that any such thing would be a waste of Inoney on } the part of those who were least able to spare it. Ata litte past one o’ciock ihe Wisconsin moved out of her dock, ‘and the iriends ashore waved their hats to their departing iriends, and whatever | ceremony tuere may nave been about it was over, It is said to be the intention of botn these gen- tlemen to establish themselves {in London. Grousset, being a journalist of some distinction, | Will probably correspond tor @ Paris paper untilan | amnesty allows him to return to France, as he hopes. M. Jourde, being mainly a financier. will rooably find employment in some commercial ouse, It is possible, however, both may go to Geneva. There has been much interest felt among the immediate friends of botn these gentlemen and those of Rochefort to account for the coolness which existed between the two parties, Atter their i yas Sydney from New Caledonia, Roche- fort and Pain went one wav and Groussett and Jourde another. They lest San Francisco at ditfer- ent umes, and even when both parties were in the city they did not visit each other; Grousset and Jourde being even guilty of a0 marked a slight as not to be present at heford’s lecture in the Academy oi Music on Friday evening, nor at bis departure next morning. Whetner all this is simply a personal matter or has a politica) sigui- ficance showing internal troubles among the Com- | munist leaders, appears not to have been iound | out, but that there 1s something wrong is the | opinion of a pend many. With the departure of | Grousset and Jourde the excitement whica has | | existed among the French republicans and Com- munists lor two weeks past has subsided. RIOT IN THE TWENTY-SECOND WARD. Italians on Their Muscle=The Police Called Out in Force. A disturbance wag created the day before yester- day at Fiity-first street and Broadway by some laborers who had been employed on work there by Mr. Conover, President of the Bieecker street car | line, during which two Italians, named Micelo Fre- rotolo ‘and Raphaeile Nadolio, were seriously in- jured. The men who caused the riot had been | employed by Mr. Conover and were on strike for hjgher wages. They remained in the neighbor- hood waiting to see if their demands would be complied with. Inztead of gratulying their de- Mands the foreman of the work hired several Italians. Scarcely, however, had these latter gone to juifil their engagement when the strikers set upon them with clubs and stones, For some time fears were entertained that a serious riot would result from the attack, but the prompt arrival of tne, police from the Iwenty-second precinct station house put & stop to it, and doubtless saved tue ilves of many persons, Some of the Itaiiaus, it is said, Were arined with knives, but lortunately they did not cume into close enough contact witu their | a-sailauts to use them.
