The whole tendency of tna bili Was.a compromise. a@way from specie payments, and a step in the Wrong direction. He argued that the President, by the attitude assumed by him, was standing by | the pleages so irequently made, vut a majority of Vongress had departed from these pleages.

The same opintons they expressed were expressed by Sena- tors irom New Fngland, Micuigan, Kentucky and other sections, and ti ai80 en tertained by Daniel Webs James Madison and men of 8 former period who were eminent states- men, When Mr. SARGENT concinded, the Onare (Mr. "| ) announced that the question was upon | ng to the report of the Cominittee of Couter- | Senator taking the flour he directed that , the roil-cali proceed. | A violent rainstorm was prevailing at the time | and the noise upon the metallic rou! was so great | that a Senator could not be heard across the Chamber, thereiore business had to be suspended Jor a short ume, Mr. STeWak?, (rep.) of Nev., took tne floor and said it was very evident that the Chair was not heard by the Senators when he directed the roll to be calied. He then proceeded to oppose the bill as perlectad by the committee, and suid the produce of the country was now being ropbed | by the printing machine in making greenback: He did not favor auy compromise, and said the ill Was in the interest of expansion, It Was so ramed that no one would understand it, and it would cost millions and millions of dollars to ime terpret it, as uli Kinds oi constructions would be put upon it, He thougnt the bill must have origi- | Bated in a wind storm or a mud storm. it con- gisted of a lot of phrases put together which | meunt nothing.

Of Mass., moved to suspend the rules and make in order to the Sundry Civil Appropriation ptil, a section directing preference in appointments to office to be given to soldiers and sailors and thetr dependant relatives, to diminish and stop the expense of carrying on ex- aminations by Boards of Commissioners or others travelling around the country at the public charge, and to stop the detailing of clerks of the depart- ment to sit in judgment on their fellow clerks, ex- ercising thereby the appointing power which is by the constitution verted in the veads of the several ex tive departments, who ought to be men of suiltcient discretion to appoint their own clerks without being tied oF by ruies and regulations im- oscd upon them by boards composed, in whole or iO part, of those very clerks themselves, The rules were suspended and the amenaments Made uw order, Yeas 155, nays 67. é Mr, &. Kk. HOAR, (rev.) Of Mass., moved to sns- pend the rules and make in order to the Sundry Civil Approprtation bill, an item of $25,000 to the Home for the Aged, under the charge of the Little Sisters of the Poor, tor the completion of their bui.ding as a home jor the aged in the District of Columbia. Mr. GARFIELD, (rep.) Of Ohio—No one will object to that. The motion was agreed to without dissent, The House then, at foity-flve minutes past twelve, went into committee of the whole Mr. Dawes, Of Massachusetts, iu tne chair, on’ the Sundry Civli Appropriation bill, The debate on the civil service re.orm Wrs resumed, being limited by the House to twenty-five minutes, Mr. STARKWEATHER, (rep.) of Conn., opened the discussion by an indignant protest against the criticisms 01 the President yesterday. 1t would be found, when the history of these times was con- sidered, that the President would not suffer in comparison with any of the geutiemen who had criticised nim. As a leader oi the army General ‘ant had been equal to the occasion, and he had been equally great in civil as in military Mie. These five rose water speecies and taoxe who Made them would pass mto oblivion, while the | great acts and the recorded utterances of the Presi- | dent, such as, “Unconditional surrender,” “I mean to ficht it out on this line if it takes ull summer,” “Let us have peace,’ would become immortal. Who were the Presideut’s accusers? Men with | hungry stomachs and diseased imaginations, who wanted to get back to power. The people nad dis- cussed this question In 1872, and had decided tt in favor of the President and of an honest administration, and they would do it again, These accu-aiions were whe very things that would cause the people to vote again to endorse the ad- Ministration, and they would do it whenever they got a square issue at the polis, Mr. Cox, (dem.) of N. ¥.—fhey did not do it in Connecticut, Mr. STARKWEATHER—The issue in Connecticut Was one of whiskey, and when the democrats found that out toey kicked around in their coffins. Mr, NIBLACK, (dem.) of Ind., regarded the efforts at civil service reiorm as acompiere and total | Jailure, because, instead of giving the clerks and | other subordinates some sort ol tenure of office 46 simply embarassed the President m making his appointments, Mr. Porrrr, (dem.) of N. Y., agreed with Mr. Niblack as to the failure of the experiment. He | beheved that the evils in the civil service were the necessary results of the existing condition of tings, and that they would not be remed:ed with- out achange in the constitution, which would localize appoimtments and thus aid in the ac. centralization of power. Mr. KELLOGG, (rep.) of Conn., spoke in support | of lus proposition for the carrying out of the civil | service rule: | Mr. GARFIELD, chairman of the Committee | on Appropriations, said that the question | was not whether the civil service examina- tion was wise or just, and the best thing that could | be done. 1t was whether the government would , any longer try to do anything to better the civil service. He hoped the gentleman would make that issue jair and square, and would meet it. If no jurther effort was to he made, if the whole matter was to be abandoned, levit be said that it was plain | and square work, It it was proposed to return to | the old democratic system and regard the 70,000 or | 80,000 off: as so Many pawus to be played | to be traded and made merchan- | dise of, les be openly said aud deiended; but | i, on the contrary, it was believed that the public | oMces were made for the service o1 the nation | and not for party perquisites, then the experiment. | should be continued 10 order to see whether there | was aby way by which the great national shame | could be at lea-t in part abated.

A motion of Mr. LAMISON, (dem.) of Onio, to Strike out an item of $40,000 for a lighthouse and | beacon at Mathias Point, Va., was disoussed for | some time, Mr, Sener, (rep.) of Va., making a speech against striking out, in which he asserted that tne | motion was made on the basis of some observations made by members of a pleasure trip, the expenses | of which were paid by the government, Mr. Lamison stated that the lighthouse at | Mathaias Point was of no earthly use, and that there were enough lighthouses on the Potomac to supply the wiole country if they were fairly dis- tributed, Mr. SENER suggested that Mr, Lamison had “seen double” on that occasion.

The House then, at hali-past dive o'clock, ad- journed, THE NATIONAL GAME. An Exciting Contest Between the Mu: tual and Athletic Nines—New York Ahead. One of the finest games of baseball ever played in this vicinity was contested on the Union Grounds yesterday afternoon, In the presence of an assemblage of between 1,200 and 1,500 people. The strazgle was between those old-time rivais, the Mutuals, of this city, and the Ath- letics, of Philadelphia; and, as every one knows the capabilities of each of these giants of the fraternity, a first class game Was anticipated. They had already played four ganies together, in only one of which the Mutuals Proved victorious, the score standing eight to five; but it was well understood that the New Yorkers would fight like heroes upon this occa- sion, and would play for dear life to win. At firat the Athletics had the callin the pools at consider. able odds, but in a short tame the vetting changed off until THE MUTUALS WERE FAVORITES at odds of 100 to 80, At these figures a vast deal of money changed hands, the Mutual backers lay- ing out their greeubacks with wondertul freedom; while the friends of the Athletics were nothing loth. As ts too irequently the case a great de- gree of difficulty was experienced in getting some one to act as umpire; bat, finally, Mr. Patterson, the oid standby, was successfully prevailed upon, and at precisely four o’ciock play was ‘‘calied,” the Mutuais going first to bat, Higham hit a savage grounder at Anson, who let it go skipping between his legs: and away down into left fleld. Allison followed with a nigh’ one between second base and centre field, seuding Higham clear around to third base. Start lit heavily on the ball, which, alter satling like a meteor through the air, tumbled into aicMullan’s ready flytrap. Higham endeavored to run in from third alter the ball was caught, but Mack was too lively, throwing the ball beautifully to: the catcher in time to ca Higham had that player uot wisely concluded to go pack to the base befure the ball was half way in. people call him—put a hot iinmer down to centre | field, bringing both Higham and Allison home.

Burdock— one of the finest players in weny club—hita fair foul for two bases, sending Nelson to third, By this time the crowd of looKers-on were get- ting excited and demeaned themseives accord- ingly.

A WHEEL WITHIN A WHEEL. The Candidature of the Hero of Fredericksburg. PROVIDENCE, June 11, 1874, Rhode Island politics have always brought to the surface elements of no littie animation and an- tagonism, which were largely introduced by the Spragues, bnt with the fallen fortunes of that house, political as weil as financial, “the other house’? was, Of course, relieved of a very formida- ble opposition, ‘The disaster to the former, which | Prostrated their political power, naturally gave rise to the question, ‘Who will succeed Senator Sprague?” The “other house” soon developed dis- agreeing parties, a party within @ party, or a “third house,” as it is now called, The great Jamily of Brown & Ives, no longer overshadowed by their powerful political rivals, practically held the settlement of the Senatorial question in their hands, but they disagreed on camdidates, and the result is @ divided house, MAJOR GENERAL AMBROSB FE, BURNSIDE Was put forward as the chosen candidate of the Browns, while the Ives’ favored ex-Congressman Nathan F. Dixon, the candidate of the Providence Journal, The latter named person is the intimate irtend of Senator Anthony, and the weight of the Journal's influence is consequently thrown in his favor. Senator Anthony’s paper having thus taken sides with Dixon, the Sprague organ has inclined in favor of Burnside, which tact, consia- | ering that paper’s former antipathy to the Gen- cral, serves to illustrate the bediellowship of poli- | ties in a strange and remarkable way. Burnside openby proclaimed himself a candidate, and his old | comrades in arms at once rallied to his standard in goodly numbers. Clubs were established in the chief places of the State in the interests of the General and an active and diligent canvass prose- cuted. The Newport News espoused his cause, and such was the progress of the movements in lus behalf that, up to the assembling of the Legis- lature, the confident belief prevailed among tne | majority of the people that he would be elected. Notwithstanding the strenuous effurts made for Burnside the friends of Dixon were not inactive, and they teit confident of their ability to develop suflicient strength, if not to elect their candidate, at least to defeat that of Burnside by going over to a third candidate, Burnside had the advantage of his opponent in | popularity, but in point of ability the latter is | vastly superior, baving had years of legislative ex- Perience, both national and State, Burnside re- ceived the support of the soldiers, Dixon that of the office hoiders or “trooly loyal.” The formers | strengtn rests chiedy in his name and jame, that | Of the latter in lis ackuowiedged legislative abil. | ity.

In the fifth inning MeMu!lan was put out on the home base by a throw from Carey to Higham, and the way he “kicked” and growled wasacaution.

Nelson, too, barring one error, played finely, while Carey at short and Start at first were well entitled to all the applause their efforts elicited.

It was plain to see that the assembling of our State fathers could alone dedinitely show the relative strength of the rival candidates, and hence the opening of the session Was auxiously awaited. The i GENERAL ASSEMBLY CONVENED, according to law, in the latier week im May at Newport, but it was decided to hold an adjourned 310 on the 9th inst. to elect a Senator to suc- ceed the Hon. William Sprague. In the interval of the adjournment the senior Representative from | Newport, Nathaniel Swmburne, died, and an elec- tion Was held to fill the vacancy, resulting in the deieat of the Burnside candidate and the election | of one in javor of Hon. William P. SheMela, the candidate of the Newport iegislators for the Sen- atorship. The prohibitionists in caucus nomin- | ated as their candidate ex-Mayor Barstow, of Providence; but the votes of that party in the As- sembly showed that they would noi be bound by the action of the caucus, being, on the contrary, about equally divided between Barstow and Wov- | ernor Howard, The democrats resolved to ee Judge 0, 8S.

Notwithstanding Governor How- ard’s expressed desire not to be a candidate he received 10 votes, mostly from the temperance members, while the prohibi- tory caucus bomines, Hon. Amos ©.

On | the following day the Assembly met and jointly proceeded to vote in Grand Committee. On tne first joint ballot Burnside’s vote was the same as on the day previous, while that of Dixon increased to 24, five more.

WEST POI | Proposed Reunion of Northern and Southern Graduates, AN ERA OF GOOD FEELING. Examination of Graduates in Ordnance and Gunnery. Wesr Porn, June 12, 1874, The appeal made by Professor Davies in his ad- dress to the alumai yesterday for a graud reunion of all the graduates of the Academy next June, | and the passage of a resolution by the atumni calk ing upon all graduates to meet accordingly, is the subject of much discussion here to-day, The idea | is to bring about a general Iraternigation between the West Point officers who were loyal to the old flag and those whose record during the war the nation, to use Professor Davies? words, “has read in tears; when “from the supny memories of many joys common to them alt, | and from the grave of all painiul recollections never to be disturbed by thought, by word or by deed, there will spring up a closer brotherhood, a | purer patriotism and a more abiding love of coun- try.” I said that the appeal and the resolution have created discussion among the officers, It | would be more correct to say that there is much talk about the matter rather than discussion, for | [have failed to find any one as yet who its not heart and soul in javor of the project. The anniversary of the battle of Bunker Hill at West Point in 1875, then, wili be a day long to be | remembered by not only West Point, but by the | entire country. There are a few people who have anidea that the Southern graduates will not in any great numbers accept the invitation extended by the alumni; but these people’s fears are ut- terly groundless, I have ascertained from the very best authority that many of the graduates who were prominent as LEADERS IN THE PLLION are not only willing to EGanbae oid antagonist of the Union army, but anxious to do so; that, in tact, letters have been received from many of ‘them expressing a hope that the dead past be al- | lowed to bury its dead, and that all graduates that the vosses, much as they May dislike to in- crease tne Wages, yet are naturally in haste to drive their jobs forward to completion, Tueresore | itis judged by the members of the associauon that aftcr some little demur the bosses will acceae to their demands and pay the advance of wages, which the workingmen consider ouly a just equiva- lent for their labor, when itis estimated by the hardslups it is incident to and the large part of the year during wich {t must necessarily be dis- continued, As to the bosses, they think they pay now as high wages as tuey can do without curtailing their profits beyond a reasonable igure. Their jobs are taken on the basis of estimates in which no allow- ance was made for advanced wages, and thus they reason that to grant the demand tor the increased | rate will just be taking $3 per Week for each man | employed irom the employer’s pocket, Tney tink, too, that in case the society men withdraw Irom the buildings their places can easily enough be refilled trom the thousands in the city eageriy looking tor any labor by which they may earn bread for themselves and their families, From conversations with several buildiug employers it appears that the demand for larger wages will be piouu Toststed, and fbay if the bosses are at length compeliéa to accede to the bricklayers! terms 1t will only be after a hard struggle an aiter a thorough experimeut in the direction of finding the necessary number of skilled brick- layers in tae rauks of the great army or | the unemploved in the city, whose want of work would overcome their scruples against accepting w rate Of wages below that prescribed by the association, U1 course the members of this large and wealthy union are confident that it is Lmpossivie for the bosses to fill their places on | the rising walls with “outside” men, while the employers seem just as positive in the belief that they can wituout any great difliculty carry up their buiidings by the labor of artisans who, owing No allegiance to the association, are glad to get work at $3 50 for eight hours’ service. so the | matter stands. It must be undecided ttll Monday, , When probably there will be a contest to decide | the relative strength and endurance of the two parties, BROOKLYN EXCISE PROSKCUTIONS, Freddy English Again Takes the Stand for the People. The irrepressible youthful prosecuting witness against the alleged violators of the Excise law, Freddy Engush, put in an appearance at Police dieadquarters, Brooklyn, yesterday Jorenoon. He was accompanied by his mother and Mrs. George C. White, Mrs. R. White, Mrs. C, A. Bradshaw and Mrs. H. Thomas, of the ladies’ temperance praying band. The juvenile celebrity carried a basket Milled with smail bottles containing suspictous look ing liquids, and duly labelled.

ORDNANCE AND GUNNERY. | _ The examination of the graduates in ordnance and gannery was begun to-day, and when the board adjourned this afternoon, all the sections of the | class but one had been disposed of. There 18 no subject, with the exception of en- gineering, which 1s paid mnore = atien- | tion to by the graduating class than this. | Many of the greatest batties of the late war were artillery battles, so to speak, where the cannon played the most prominent part, and did the most to decide the issuc ; and from this, a8 well as the tact that the artillery branch of the service to-day is peadualy coming to be looked upon ag th branch of the service par excellence, tt is not to be. wondered at that the first class is always very- thoroughly taunt on the subject. Yet, strange tu say, if acadet Who comeg ont first in this study shonid happen to receive the maximum merit ai- lowed to it, be would only get 150 merits, whereas. one who would get the Inaximum merit in discl- pline or mathematica or engineering would get 300, But I suppose this question of merits is one which the Academic Board know better about than anybody cise, despite the seeming absurdity of placing guhuery ona par asa study for a iuture otticer of the army with the meagre study of law and ethics, each being given 160 merits ag a max- basket and abstracted thereirom a couple of | inum. The examination to-day was exceeding! dozen misshapen bottles, which he deposited on a interesting, and the sections examined di table, and the pr ooe eas were opened against splendidly. Two or three of the cadets, the Jollowing named delinqneat Hqudr Sulodii | itis true, were not quite as high in some of their | keepers :—George ee) corner Of Fulton and Grand avenues; Owen J. McCue, corner of Cariton and Atlantic avennes; John McGoldrick, corner ot Skiliman street and Myrtie avenue; James Meycrs, corner of Yates and De Kalb avenues; James O'Brien, corner ol Myrtle avenue and Spencer street, The only witnesses examined were Mrs, English and Freddy, The Commissioners took the testimony and reserved their decision. forty cases remaining to be heard, and the saloon keepers interested are therefore on the “anxious seau’ concerning the fate of their licenses, The crusaders are hopetul, and have resolved to “go on with the good work.” CITY TREASURY. — Comptroller Green reports the following receipts of the Treasury yesterday :— The examination, which is rapidly drawing to a close, was resumed yesterday.
