COX AND BLAINE Hot Debate on Points of Parlia- mentary Proceedings, Blaine Persistent in Attempting to Overrule the Decisions of the Speaker Pro Tem. A SCENE OF SHAMEFUL. DISORDER. a Wasurctox, June 9, 1876, In the House this morn: after some time spent in the consideration of private bills, Mr. Huuton, of Va., moved to lay on the table Mr. Blaine’s motion to reconsider the vote for the printing of the testimony \aken before the Judiciary Committee. Mr. Pace, (rep.) of Cal., suggestod that the motion be withheld until the gentleman from Maine should bo Present. Mr. Blaine at that moment entered the hall in hot haste, and with the declaration of ‘Here I am.” In the course of a parliamentary discussion over points of order Mr. Blaine insisted that under the Tuiing of the Chair yesterday be was not to be deprived of the control of his own motion. The Speaken pro tem. (Mr. Cox) read from the report of yesterday’s proceedings to show that Mr. Blaine bimseif had stated that if he could not call up the motion to reconsider yesterday he would lose the par- liamentary right to which ho was entitled, Mr, Biaine asked Mr. Hunton whether bo insisted on his motion to lay on the table. Mr. Hoxton replied that he did, Mr, Biaixs—And you decline to accept my amend- ment? Mr, Howtox—I have tolé you before what I was ‘willing to do about that, Mr. Blaine then fell back upon the assurance of the Speaker yestorday that he (Mr. Blaine) would not be deprived of the opportunity of calling up his motion to reconsider, The Srxaker pro fem.—The only assurance given by the Chair was that which has been read from the Record, and that was in accordance with the rules, Mr, RANpaut, (dem.) of Pa, reminded Mr. Blaine that in entering his motion to reconsider, the other day, ho (Mr, Blafve) had taken advantage of Mr, Hunton’s omission to make the usual motion to reconsider and lay on the table. Mr. Biaixs—How did I take advantage of it? I ‘went and asked the Clerk about it, Mr. Raxpatt—I know, exactly that. Mr, Buarne—Well, what advantage did I take? Mr. Ranpatt—You took advantage of Mr. Hunton’s omission to make the usual motion; 1 admit that you could do that Mr. Buaiwe—Was that any more advantage than act- ing under any rule of the House? Mr. Raspayt—One moment; having taken that ad- vantage, Isubmit that the motion of tha gentleman from Virginia is entirely within the practice, and en- tirely within due courtesy, also, in taking advantago to-day of the gentleman from Maine in moving to lay his motion on the table. Now, as to the Caldweil tele- gram, I understand the gentieman from Virgimato bo willing to let the telegram go into the proceedings for what it 1s worth, Mr. Buaine—It could not go for more, (Laughter.) Mr. Ranxpaut -I do not yet understand that the gen- tleman from Virginia objects to tho telegram going in—— Mr. Biatnx—But I called the atvention of the gentle- man from Pennsylvania to the fuct that neither the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee nor the Chair- man of the gub-commitioe has ever yet intimated or given to the House any advice of that telegram. Mr, Raxpatt—Will the gentleman from Maine ask the House now that the telegram be embodied in tho proceedings of the committec ? Mr. Biaixs—Yes, 1 am after that very thing, andl want the official telegram. ‘be gentleman from Ken- tucky, Mr. Knott, alter keeping it in his pocket tive days—indignant calls to order from the democratic side, seconded vy the loud hammerimg of the Speaker's el—gave it, as I understand, to the Associated Press, at has never given it to the House. Mr. Gover, of Missouri, and other democratic mein- bers rose to the question of order, but Mr. Blaine held bis position, and In the midst of great uproar aud con- fusion asserted that all the members onthe demo- cratic side of the House were out of order. SPRAKKE pro tem required the gentleman from Maine and other members who were standing to tuke their seats, and added that the gentleman trom Maine Was out of order and that no ove knew it better than J imeelt. Z Biacksury, (dem.) of Ky., demanted to be in- formed whether the utterances of a member delivered but of order should be published in the Record, The SPRAKKR pro tem, replied that there was no rule on the subject. He added that when he gave the House assurance yesterday that he would recognize the gen- Yeman from Matne to call up his motion to reconsider he did not mean to preclude, nor could be preclude, any otber momber trom moving at the proper time to hy the motion to reconsider on the table. How, ho asked, could he take the gentleman trom Virginia of the floor? Mr. Buarsg—The gentleman from Virginia can very sasily make his motion otherwise. Mr. Huxrox—lI call for the regular order. Mr. Witsox, ( ) of lowa, rose and was informed by the Speaker that the pending motion was not de- Datable, Ho said, however, that he only desired to raise the question of consideration op this business, Jor he did not beheve that the majority of the House would shut off the gentleman from Maine from a hear- * ing. ‘Tho SPxakeR—The objection comes too late, Mr. WiLsox—How so? The SpxakkR—Bevause the motion to lay on the ta- ble is pending. Mr. SovtuaRp, (dem.) of Ohio—I desire one word in explanation of what took place yesterday. The gen- ‘iaean from Maine tosisted yesterday on calling up bis motion to reconsider, and one of the reasons alleged by him why he saould have that right was that he would lose it 1f he did not exercise it then. Mr. BLarvz—And the Chair assured me otherwise. ‘The SrxakeR—The Chair did not assure you other- wise. The gentloman states what the record docs not show. Mr. Sournarp—He has lost the floor, and has no Fight to claim it to-day. Mr. Kasson, (rep.) of lowa, renewed the point of or- der made by Mr. isuckner, that under the rules of the House only private business was iu order to day, and vhat, therefore, 1¢ was not in order tocail up this matter of general business. ‘he spoaker overruled the point of order. Mr. Buaing (fiercely)—On what ground? The Speaker pro tem. ~coolly)—The Chair 1s not bound to give its reasons. Mr. Busine (scorufally)—I never eard a Speaker re- fuse to give the reasons for bis decision. ‘The SPEAKER pro fem. (severely)—The gentleman is out of order now. (Applause on the democratic side. ) Mr. Buarne (irritatingly)—Have you any reason? The Sreakkk pro (em. (more severcly}—The gentie- mun has no right to make a colloquy with the Chair, Mr. Braixz—Tho Chair docs not seem disposed to hear a colloquy. TheSpeaker finally put the question to the Houso on Mr. Hunton’s motion; and, as Mr. Garneld, of Obio, called for the yeas apd nays, they were ordered. The fepnblicans then resorted (0 the plan of. withholding their votes, 80 as to defeat action by want of a quorum, Alter the roll was caliod, but betore the announcement of the result, Mr. Srxincre (dem,), of Ill., rose to a parliamen- lary inquiry, when Mr, Blaine immediately started to bis feet and objected. ‘At this demonstration Mr. Springer suggested to Mr. Bh that be was entirely forgetting bis position, and she aker pro tem, calinly explained that it was al- way! ne practice of the Chair to hear a parliamentary ‘Buarwx—Dauring roil call, never. The Spxaker pro tem.-The roll call bas been com- jeted. , Mr. Brats ‘ever has such a thing been done, ‘The Srxakex pro (em. (with great severity of man- nor)—It is highly improper and hardiy decent for the gentleman to confer with the Chair in that peculiar style. Str. Biaiwx—The genvieman’s (sir. Springer’s) in- ry is merely dilatory. ir. SPRINGER: deny the genticman’s right to im- rage ax monstys t. Buaink—The Clerk ‘has road the vote, and I de- mand 1 ve announced. ‘The Sreaxxn—The Chair cannot announce the vote before it is handed to him. Mr. Busine The vore has been read. I demand that It be announced. (Shouts of “Order!” ‘“Order!”” from she democratic side of the House.) Mr. SpRin I demand that the gentleman trom Maine take bis seat aud be in order. Mr. Bratwe—I ain in order. The Sreaxen—If the gentleman from Maine will not take his seat when be is properly called io order the Dhair will not only require him todo so under the rules, but will call on the officers of the House to enforce its orders. (Applause on the democratic side.) Mr. Foster, (rep.) of Obio (in an undertone)—Call them in; fetch them on. ir, BLainn, taking his seat—I will be seated with pleasure when otners are. ‘Tho Sreaker, tem.—The gentieman from Maine tated that the Chair should have announced the vote pefore the Chair received tt. The Chair had not the rote at the time the imputation Was made Which was intended to £ to the country a8 an imputation on the fairness of the Chair. Tho Chair says this to the ex clusion (as it! has a right) of any discussing the subject further. to announce in a pro] ceeds vote upon the question, w Sondod to him, aud all statements er member from The Chair now pro- rand formal manver the ich is vow tor the firss time te the contrary are ' NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, JUNE 10, 1876,—TRIPLE peierey sae infamously false. The Chair says so on (Applause on the Gemocratic side, ) Mr. Buatxe (tauntingly)—That is very parliameotary language. The vole was then ani anced as yeas 121, nays 23. The following is the Degative vote :— Messrs. Anderson, of New Yorx, Bell, Campbell, Bi hi jutier, Durand, Mardenbergh, ond, Hill, Hopkins. tind, Kehr, Lemoy MeParland, ‘Brien, Pot- ter, Keilly Wobn) of Pennsylvania, savage, Smith of Georgia, Walsh, Whitebouse and Willis—23, Messrs. Buains and PaGe—No quorum voting. The Spxakue— A quorum has not voted, Mr, Pace—I move that the House do now adjourn. Mr. Srxixasr, of Tilinois, rose at tne same time as Mr. Page, aud was recognized by the Chair. Mr. PaGx claimed that his motion must be put. ‘The Srxakxe pro fem. intimated that the Chair under- stood its own business, und added that two moti were in order—one for a call of the House and one to adjourn, and non constat that the gentleman trom Llinois could not make one of those motions. Mr. Pacr—I have just made one, Mr. Sruivcur—My point of order is this—— Mr. Buaixk—No points of order—— ‘The Srraxxr pro tem.—The gentiemrn is not Speaker of the House now. (applause and laughter on the democratic side.) Mr. Buaixx—But | am a member. Mr. Spaiscur—The pari inquiry which I ‘was trying to put, if the gentieman from Maine would allow ie, was this—Whether a quorum of members, al- though not voting, are not in their seats, and whether the Chair will not take cognit: f that fact? The Srxaxen pro tem,—The purlamentary inquiry 1s avery pertineut and proper one, The Chair decides that, im deciding on the presence of a quorum 1t cannot go outside of the record just handed in by the Clerk. Mr. Buaryx—Now a motion to adjourn is in order. dir. Pace-—I renew my motion to orn. Mr. Srrixcsr—l move a call of the House. Mr. BLaixx—I rise to a point of order. The Srxakge pro tem.—The gentieman will state bis point of orde: Mr. Buatsx—I desire to have read as explaining the point of order ap extract from the rales, The Cuknx read from the manual as follows:—‘‘It is not in order, on private bill day, to call up and consider & motion to reconsider a vote on a public bill, it objected to, except after a postponement, by a ma- Jority vole, of the private business Mr, Buaixe (resuming)—The Chair overruled that int when made by tue gentleman from lowa (Mr. asson), Llasked the Chair to, give its reasons and ihe Chair declined to do 80, and tery prudently, because that rule is explicit, that a motion to reconsider is not in order during private bill day, This is a public mat- ter; itis not here properly; it is here by a aeflance of the rules, by a ruling of the Chair for which the Chair could give no reasou and which is right in the teeth of theletier of the rule. That is my point (Loud ap- piavse on the republican side and in the galleries.) Mr, Sprincee—The rule uses words the *a public bilL?? Thw is nota public bill, it is a resolution of a private nature in the ipterest-of the nomination of the gentleman for President of the United States. (Ap- Plause, hisses, laughter, great uproar and excitement.) The Segakxk pro tem.—The gentleman from Maino raised a point of order and has had tho rule read, but, in the opinion of: the Chair, the rule is not applicable at the prosent stage of the business. It is enough for the Chair to say that oftentimes occu - pants of the chair make ral! without giving reasons Jor them, otherwise the whol usiness of the House might be taken up in that wi ir. BLaIne—I never have seen—— ‘he Chair hi to call the gen- tleman trom M to order now, ani no reason jor it, because itis apparent that he is out of order in repeatedly interrupting the Chair. (Applause on the democratic side.) The gentleman ki the rules very well that he must not interrupt the Chair when making a decision. Brown, (dem.) ot Ky.—I wish simply to know if The SPEAKER | this is the American Congress? Mr. BLatxx—That is what | want to know, too, Mr. Browx—Or whether we are the pupils of the sceboolmaster trom Maine. (Laugnter.) Mr. BLaing (without heeding the Speaker’s gav It 1s the most surprising American Congress that assembled, (Laughter and applaase.) A member irom the democratic side—To that we all agree. (Laughter, applause and general uproar, with the Speaker vainiy endeavoring to entorce order, and the audience in the gallery paying as little attention as members on the floor to the efforts of the Chair in that direction.) ,, Mr. Morrison (dem.) of Ill., asked unanimous consent to olfer the following resolution :— Resolved, That all evidence taken by tho Judiciary Com- mittee under the authority of the resolutions of Messrs. Lut trell and Tarbox, be printed, and that the despatch signed * Josiah Caldwell’? be ulso printed as a part of the record in the case, and said committe any witness be enlled who ma, ver suid despi y bo printed, with the other ‘The SPEAKER pro tem. Mr. Hoan, (rep.) of Mast As the coniusion aud excitement on the floor showed po sign of abatemont the SrakRR pro tem directed the Doorkeeper to exciude from the floor ull persons not entitied to the privilege und to preserve order in the galleries, announcing it as his determination to break up this system of claqueism iu the House, Mr. Gar¥ixLD, (rep.) of Obio suggested the amend- ment proposed should be allowed, Mr, Biackuurs, (dem.) ot Ky.—Wiil the gentleman accept ag an amendment the resolution offered by the gentieman from Illinois (Mr. Morrison)? Mr. Garvixip—I have no authority to accept any amendment except the amendment suggested to the gentieman from Virginia yesterday and to which he said he bad no sort of objection. Evorybody, I think, will feel that it is but fairness all round to allow that amendment to be offered. The gentleman from Vir- ginia stated yesterday that be bad no sort of objection tothe publishing of the despatch for what it was worth and of the proceedings of the committee on Wednesilay. That was all tuas was usked for on bis side, and if it were accepted there need ve no further delay in the matter, He usked the gentleman from Virginia to allow that amendinent to be voted on. Mr. Huntoy replied that when that proceeaing took place in the House he had stated to the House (us he Dow stated) that be haa no sort of objection to publish- ing that teiegramfor what itis wortt, but he did nut ' agree to accept it a8 an amendment to his resolution. It seemed to him that the resolution suggested by the gentleman from Illinois was a’proper one and that it hole case. Mr. Gaxruxtp—The gentleman bas stated, and no- body Las contradicted bis view, that the tel-gram pro- to be pubhehed is not evidence. Pha is perfectly cicar, It was to be publishea as evidence. to be published in connecticn with the pro- ceedings of the committee as such, The proposi- tion of the gentleman from Iino (. Morrison) is that it sball not only be publisned, as suggested, but that thore may be a@ proceeding of the committee to tako hearsay testimony, which, as I understand, the commuittce hag almost,’ if not quite unanimosly, re- solved todo, This despatch 18 not claimed to be evi- dence. Mr. SprixGer—Then, why ts it urged? Mr. Garrizino—lt ts part of the res gest of the pro- coedings of the committee and is not evidence. Mr. SPAINGER—It must be either evidence or some- thing else. Mr. Garvintp—Y¢ call it what you please. We do not cal) it evidence, and 1 will simply say to the chairman of the Cominittee on Ways and Means that, to put im a rule, now authorizing and directing the committee to receive hearsay evidence, which it does now receive, would be maniiestly unfalr and unjust, and I therefore trust that that clause will not be added. Mr. Moxrison—I understood the gentieman trom Maine to desire the publication of the despatch for what it is worth. Now, 1 submit in ail candor it is proper for the committee to show that it 1s not worth anything. That is the object of my resolution, That i all I propose to do, You want to take the despatch for what itis worth. You may, however, think it is worth something as a piece of evidence in Javor of the gentieman from Maine, To thé extent that the de- spatch is true the gentleman would bave the benetit of it, butif it 1s not true he should npt bave the benefit of it. Then why not allow the committee to take evidence fs show it is not true; that is all the object of my reso- acion, Mr. Garvimuo—I agree perfectly with what the gentleman says—that it is perfectly and absolutely right to allow the committee to prove that the despatch is worth nothing. It is not proposed to be offered as evidence. I! the committee can show it to be spurious tt ought to ehow it; if the committee can sbow it to be false tought to show it. Butall that | ask is that this House shall not makea rule that would bea violation of all the known rules of evidence—viz, :, that, by secondary and hearsay evidence, the commit tee shall undertake to prove something about the despatch. Let the committee prove all it can, bat prove it by the known rules of evidence, Mr. RaNpatt—The known rules of evidence would exclude the paper altogether. Mr. Srxixcsr—The proposition is this, that Cald- well give evidence without being ander oath, a ond he cannot be contradicted by evidence under ‘oat Mr. Gasirimn—Nobody has claimed that this despatch vidence. Mr. McManox, (dem.) of Ohio—Yer, it 1s claimed an evidence, and the whole country 16 called upon to notice that the House is excluding testimony. Mr. Spaixcer to Mr. Garfleld—If it is not claimed as evidence, on what ground do you ask to have it putin the Record? Mr. GaRPIRLD--On the same ground that the gentle- man (Mr. Springer) putin a cable d spatch condemning General Schenck, We do not call this evidence, and you did call that evidence, Mr, Srrivorr—But General Schenck was heard. Mr. Ganereip—Aye, ou bis sick bed when he was 400 miles away from here. Don't make dsh of one and flesh of another. The question was again taken and this time the re- pudiicans did not withhold their votes. The motion to lay on the table was carried—Yous, 126; nays, 91. Mr. Monaton thea asked leave to offer bis resola- tion, bat Mr. Huribuat, of lilinois, objected. BUTLER AND BLAINE, A DOWNRIGHT DENIAL—BUTLER AUTHORIZES AN EXPLICIT, COMPREHENSIVE DENIAL THAT HE ENGINERRED THE ATTACK--PALMER OF ILLINOIS, DAVIS AND BANES AS POSSIBLE CANDIDATES—A SOFT SPLIT CERTAIN OF 8UC- CESS. Treuoxt Hovsx, Bostox, June 9, 1876, GENERAL AOTLAR 18 “MAD.” A Hixranp correspondent found him in that enbappy trame of mind this morning, and between the vigorous puflings of a mild cheroot the General thus disciosed his woe, Said ho, “I’ve no more to do with the Blaine business than achild unborn, It’s a botch, abungle from first to last | engincer such a farce as thas} ‘W's proves | worth terous, The Sun ought to know me better, The whole affair is silly, pueriie, contemptivle 1n ts management, It’s no compliment to impute such & programme as that to me. I never saw the BLAINE LETTERS, never heard of them before, have written to nobody, heard from nobody about them, and have not contrib- uted in any way nor in any sense to their production before the committee or the House. And, by the way, bas anybody geen them? 1 don’t hear of any one who has seen those letters. Are there any copies of them anywhere? Ihear of none, Do you suppose, if 1 had Veeu Mr. Malligan’s counselor the planner of the attack on Mr, Blaine, I would bave permitted Mr. Mul- ligan to go to Washington with these letters, unless he also had copies and photographs of them? No, sir; and then if Mr. Blane desired to buy the onginals be could buy them! When the time came to use tho certified copies they would be forthcoming. Conrsroxpent—That would be rather mean. General Butixr—Certainly. and it’s on that theory lam speaking. If a thing 1s worth doing at all it’s worth doing well, What were those letiers tuken there for at all? I assume they were taken for a pur- pose, and if so the purpose should have been arcom- plished. No, sir; you can give an expl: unequivocal, absolute denial of that story im the Sun. I never heard or knew in any way whatever anything about the letters till 1 saw thestory in print. I have no feeling against Mr. Blaine, We had u little tiff in Con- fo nd tought it out, That’s all there was of that. nis matter bas nurt Blaine, of course, but he will have groat weight in the Convention; not necessarily controlling weignt, but weight He hates Conkling. Nevertheless, as it looks now, CONKLING WILL BE NOMINATED. Conrgsroxpent—The {riencs of Governor Hartran‘t appear sanguine that be will be the coming man, ‘General BurLen—Hartranit came to me in April 1861, the first one of ail, with his regiment. He serves well all through the w: 4 hang Mrs. Surratt at the end of it. That won’ phim, perhaps, at the South, but tt will with all republicans. Mr, Wash- burne also stands an excellent chance. He will be strongly supported by the Catholics, if he is nomi- nated, and by the Germans, Inifdels on one side, Cath- olics on the other and the Protestants between the UPPER AND TUX NBTHKR STONES. That would be queer, woulun’t it? bat pot at all im- probable. Conresronpent—What do you now think abouta split at St, Louis? General Burier—It is not at all unlikely. If Tilden or apy other hard money man is nominated I shall not be at all surprised at a soft money ticket. In view of the trouble in New York about Tilden and the fact that the South would really prefer some man with a war record, | look very curiousiy for the Little Un- known. The Southern people don’t want to see the bloody shirt nor hear the rebel yellany more. They would prefor some pronounced man avout whom there is no question; some man like PALMER, OF ILLINOIS, who was Mayor of Chicago and left tho republican party when Phil Sheridan's soldiers were directed to shoot down citizens on the streets, He served with gallantry during the war and has a subsequent record besides. He is no less known than Polk. And who ever heard of Hayes, of Ohio, before the State elec- tion? In case of a soft split at St. Louis how would DAVIS AND BANKS answer? Davis was a near and uear friend of Lincoln. He is Judge of the Supreme Court, anda very good one, too, He had an excellent record, ié sound on all the orthodoxies, and would have the confidence ot the faflationists. So would Banks, who also bas a war record, and would preside admirably in the Senate Chamber. Coxgxsroxpunt—It would rather disconcort all the wise men it Don Cameron were to NOMINATE GRANT on the floor, wouldn’t it? General Buriter—Well, if be wants to be can. believe, for one, in leaving politics to politicia housebuilding to carpenters, shoemaking to shoe- makers, and preaching to clergymen. And yet re- form seems to consint in putting men atthe helm of political affairs who know nothing of politics. A man when elected President bas uo possible axe to grind. All his temptations, inducements and interests are to. doright. If be bea politician he will understand the situation and do just as well as he can. Being a polt- . he will understand axes when ho sees them. If he Not a politiciun bis régime will be noted tor the number of jobs done and axes ground by politicians who will use him. Don Cameron was a man and a citizen and a delegate before he was made Secretary ot War, The best assurance of duty to be performed in the future is duty done in the present. As a delegate ne has undertaken to periorm certain duties, and he ought to du so, and not be deterred by any false sense of delicacy. What be will dol don’t know, but if he chooses to nominate Gravt | can see no indelicacy in his so doing. CorresroxpentT—In case of asplit at St. Louis, and the election being sent to the House of Representa- tives, who WOULD BE TiCTORIOUS? General Butixr—The soit money man, of course, Thero’s no question of it, PRISON REFORM CONGRESS. The National Prison Reform Congress held another session at Steinway Hall yesterday morning, Andrew FE. Elmore, of Wisconsin, in the chair. Prayer was offered by the Rev. H. ©. Tilton, of Wisconsin. Dr. E. C. Wines then read abstracts {rom a paper prepared by Mr, E. C, Seaman, of Michigan, on the reforms needed in the jury system. Mr. Seaman opposed the requisi- tion of unanimity in a jury, arguing that two-thirds or at most three-fourths should be suflicient to convict, He also strongly opposed the admission of the plea of “emotional insanity’’ a8 an excuse for crime, In re- gard to the qualifications of jurors, he maintained that they should be men of intelligence and property, and that the mere right to vote should not entitle a person to servo as a juryman, Dr. Wines then read a paper by Mr. Pitman, of Mas- sachusetts, on the ‘Treatment of Habitual Criminals,” Mr. Pitman thought that an habitual crimmal could be defined as one whose acts were such as to indicate an intention of repeating them. Counterteiting, for in- stance, was a crime committed with such deliberation ph ation. Records of repeated convictions were oc- ed by the repeated administration of trivial sen- fences for petty offences’ In Massachusetts persons sixty years old had been committed to prison from thirty to forty times, each commitment being less than two months, The evils of such a system were enor- mous. The oflences so punisued were usually tbe re- oral weakuess, stich as drunkenness, street- d petit larceny, Long torms of imprisoa- walking ment in such cases tended to the reformation of the offenders, both by rendering the penalty more dreaded by them and by weakening their appetites through se- clusion and denial. A long and animated debate tollowed, during which Mr, A. M. Powell, ot New York; Mr. A. Duff, of Phil- adelpbia; Dr. Wines, and the Rev. Mr. Tiltou partici- pated, all in favor of long terms of Imprisynment, Dr. Wines then read a paper on the “Imprisonment of Witnesses,” maintain:ng that the present system is @ constant source of injustice and bardship. in rare cases, where such imprisonment was really neces- sary, the witnesses should receive compensation and ve provided with comfortable quarters, apart from criminats. Dr, Wines favored taking the testimony of witnesses 4m criminal cases de Lene esse, or by a commission, as in civil cases, where security could not be given for their appearance at the trial. Ex-Governor Haines, of New Jersoy, supported the views of Dr. Wines. Mr. Tilton said it was urged by lawyers that if testi- mony for the prosecution were taken by commission in criminal cases it would g:ve the defence an opportunity to manufacture evidence in rebuttal, or to euborn wit- vance of the trial. A . , said that the ablest jurists im the country believed that the present law of this State on this subject was as nearly perfect as any which could be devised. De. Wines then introduced C, J. Metjerberg, Superin- tendent of Schools in Stockholm, Sweden, who invited the members of the Congress to attend the International Prison Reform Congress to be held in Stockvolm next year, and premised them a cordial reception. ENING At cight P. M. tl rN. session resomed, Mr, Elmore the chair. r. W. G. Hammond, of peron “The Equitable Distribution of Mr. 3 Allenson, Preswent 6f the State Reform School for Boys at Yardvilie, N. J., reuda paper on reformatory schools. Mr. E. ©, Seaman, of Ann Harbor, Mich., read a paper on “What Reforms are Needed in the Jury System as Regards the Qualiti- cations of Jurors!” Mr. Abbot Clarke, State Senator of Vermont, read a ron “The ireatment of Habitual Criminals." ir. Elisha Harris, of New York, said that during his experience he had found that it was inexpedient to ex- clude from the libraries of the jails works oi Gction apon which the young minds could feed. Dr. Allenson said that he would not exclude story books trom children, bat he would not like to teed ‘the children on them, Mr. J. R. Buchanan, of Kentucky, made an eloquent address on the “‘Treatment of Hab:tual | riminals.”” Miss Linda Giibert asked if there was any prison where the convicts were taught their whole trade ‘The representative trom Obio satd that in the Ohio prisons the trade of moulding was jully taught. Another representative, who bad visited Blackwell's Island daring the day in company with Mr. Brennan, President of the Department of Charities and Corree- tion, said that be had found that the convicts from New York city sent to Blackwell’s Island were thoroughly instructed in all branches of their trade. ‘The discussion that followed showed that the de- tm for convict labor is increasing, and ihat carucst eflorts should be made to protect the prisoners and to jt bogus contracts. . Elisha Harris spoke on the perils of children condemned to ee and reformatories. The papers read during the ses- sion of the Congress, it was resolved, should be pub- lished asa partot the minutes of the Congress, for general distribution. The closing hour having ar- rived the thi of the Con; were vowed to owners of Stetuway Hall for its gratuitous use, The oficers and committees for the ensuing ye were then nominated and unumimously elected, ‘The Congress then adjourned sine die.

It is the resort of the refined and cul tured, and this season bids fair to equal any of its pre- deceasors, ‘The old town looks as bright as a doliar. The streets and avenues look as neat as though they belonged to a private party, and (he business portion of the place— the very essence of antiquity—has been brushed up and many improvements bave been made since last yeur, all of which will be appreciated. Thames Street, the principal business street of the place, which ig not one-third of the width of Broadway, New York, begins to show signs of hfe, and quite a namber of the vebicles belonging to the summer “fotks’? may be seen trying to navigato their way past coal, ice, grocery and every other kind of cart imaginable. A week later aod Thames street will be anything but a ploasant thoroughfare for the handsome turnouts of the visitors, THE VILLAS that loom up in every direction also begin to show Signs of life. The ugly barricades from the doors and windows have been removed, and the gardeners have placed the extensive grounds connected with many of them in complete order. The painters have benuti- fled many of their exteriors and at this date every man or boy, that can handle @ paint brush is kept busily employed, The lawns im frout of many of these places never looked more beautitul than they do just now, and the lawn mowers are Kept constantly at work keeping the grass down to the level where it ap- pears to the best advantage. TUE BATHING HOUSKS are being put in order and moved to their proper places on the beach, But little bathing is usually done until after the Fourth of July, and not so much then as one would naturally be led to believe. The cot do not believe in bathing, especially the ladies, for reasons which will presént themselves to the reader, Newport is supplied with fair bathing facilities and one of the best beaches in the country, and one where drowning accidents seldom occur fom undertow so common at other places. Many of the business men of this city as well as many of the cottages huye been considerably interested in the HERALD’s exposé of private coachmen and ser- vauts, No place in the country suffers more from the bribery resorted to in securing the trade of the villu owners than Newport does. Quite a respectable num- ber of the business nen of this place inform me that they bave been obliged to BRIBE THE COACHMEN, and the servants as well, im order to secure the of their masters, The servants actually A stated commission defore they will with the merchant with whom they were ordered to trade to continue to _—_visit them for their supplies. The business mon, there being such a competition, are, or have been in the past, obliged to pay them their price, knowing th.t their rivals n business would pay the’ desired price for the trade. Hence the report gs abrond that Newporters are exorbitant in their charges, The reason is simply tnis;—The merchants cannot afiord to pay the com- missions asked, and so are obliged to charge propor- topately for their goods, and at the end of the month the persons cailed upon to pay the bills are astonished at the prices charged. And who can blamo them for thinking that Newport ts not one of the cheapest laces to live in? Quite a number of the loading usinegs nen ioform me that they hay wked?? ayainst the arrangement for several years, and io agreat measure have remedied the evil, but’ as each ‘season rolls round the coachmen, cooks or head ser- yants come to them and offer the trade of their em- ployers ior a paying commission. There are several who pay the desired sum, and consequently have a large amount of trade, but the visitors are buying their eyes opened and keepa sharp lookout upon their ser- vants Quile a pumver of the business men state that alter the servants are thwarted in their efforts to dis- pose of the trade to the best murket value, and aro ‘compelled to trade where they don’t want to, they, out of revenge, will make constant complaint of the inferiority of the goods and find all manner of fault, in order to induce their employers to make a change. In nine out of ten cases they succeed. Cooks have been knuwn to mako the articles which came under their care appear in such a manner as to indicate that the fault was not theirs, butof the persons who furnished them. This is done very successiully, for their employers do not take the trouble to descend to tbe kitchen tosee the oods when they are broughtin. They do not like to fina fault with their servants for jear they will leave them, andit would bo a dificult task to fill their pluces, especially during the summer season, Hence they are obliged to caier to the whimsical and, in many cases, malicious potions of their servants in order to plaase them. ‘The commissions puld average all the way from live to fifteen per cent. ‘The horseshoers and grain dealers are obliged to pay the highest commission, and no one-would rejor o more than they if they could do their work without being obliged to pay anything for securing the sate. All the coachmen and servants are not alike, and t are a large number who would not accept a commission or present of any kind in consideration of the trad which they were the means of distributing, and there arealso quite a number of the business men who would not be guilty of offering a bribe. Several prom- inent summer residents huve spoken to the writer im reference to this impo: tant matter, which they belicve is working @ serious injury to the piace, Ol this tact there 1s no doubt, In addition to paying the ser- yants many of them are obliged to pay to a prominent citizen, who has great influence with. the visitors, five per cont additional, This important individual “recom- inends” the visitors to the ‘best places’’ for the pur- chase of their summer's supphes. All be 1s alter is bis commission, and he gets it every time, or if he does not woe be to him or them who fail to make it good, He will not go to law about it, but he will see to it that ‘no one else trades at the same place again if he can help it Althougl not respected ho is fearod by the business men, and one of them iniormed me a few days ago that he would pay him ton per cent willingly it he could get into his good graces. A well known business man informed me that he had got through paying com- missions to this. prominent individual, and be bad informed him of the fuct. We shall watch the result of bis action. He claims that he can keep all of bis cos- tomers that are worth Keeping, and cau afford to do his busmess upon a less expensive seale, and his customers will doubtiess receive the benefit. As above ed, the Hsrann's articles of late in rof erence to the bribing of servants: bave been read with peculiar interest, and the majority of the business men unite in saying that they will have a salutary effect upon the servants who are expected to “spend the mer at Newport.'’ They feel grateful to (he Henatp, they took pains to circulate the articles among those of thelr friends whom they thought might not be likely to see them otherwise. At the proper timio, they stuto, they will have them republished in the local papers for the benefit of those employing servants who ha’ pecuniary turn of mind. It isa greatevil and which ft ts hoped will be remediod at an early date. PERSONAL It fs reported that Mr. August Belmont, General R. B. Potier, Rev. Henry C. Potter, D.

COMMENCEMENT BY THE COMMISSION OF ITS LABORS AND HOW THE INVESTIGATION 18 RE- GARDED. The commission appointed by Governor Tilden, pur- suant to legislative enactment, for the purpose of in- vestigasing the manner in which tho State ponal insti- titation: conducted, cémmenced taking testimony at Sing Sing Prison yesterday morning. Since their arrival at that institution last Tuesday the members of the commission have been preparing themselves for the somewhat complicated task allotted them by quietly examining the instde workings of the prison, familiar. izing themselves particularly with its financial manage- ment, the mode of bookkeeping employed, the way in which the chaplain’s office is carried on and other sali- ent features of that vast caravansary of convicts As previously announced the Investigation will be strictly private, at least so fur as the newspaper press is con- cerned, unless an occasion should arise when, in the judgment of the commission, the interests of the peo- ple should require it, Among the intelligent residents of Sing Sing vil- lage—somo of whom are thoroughly familiar with the prison and its peculiar workings sinco tts removal trom Christopher street, New York, to its prosent site—tho impression prevails that the beneficial results of the investigation will fall, far short of public expectation. ‘They say that so long as the prison was conducted on non-partisan principlos, when the Warden had complete control of all subordinate appoimtments, and no one was removed except for incapacity or other causo, and the contractors were obliged to settle their accounts with the State at the end of each month; when the supplies and rations were furnished by contract and convicts were not allowed to communicate with cach other or receive pay from contractors for overwork; when grocery wagons, hacks and other vehicles were kept outside of the prison yard, then the institution was sell-sustaining, or nearly so, Further, they say, when this on-parusan plan was departed from, and = appointments of officials, = from Agent and Warden down, conferred merely because of sume political rascality on the part of the appointees and through influence with some momber of the Legis- lature or of the State officers, and with the constant dismivsal of prison officials at every change of ad- ministration, the result has been that in many in- stances thieves have been placed there to govern thieves They further predict that the in- vestigation by the commission will probably demonstrate the fact that for the past ten years the Stato has not received, as the proceeds of convict labor in the prisun, enough to way for the appropriations for new butldings, repairs and machinery voted by successive Legisiaturca tor that institution. In this connection an ex-warden of the prison, while conversing with a HeraLp reporter on Thursday after- noon, said:—*'l'll give you an illustration, Not many years ago a party camo to the prison and said ho would take a contract tor the Jabor of 400 men for five yea Provided the State would ercct. a suitable building for the intended to carry on. The contract was during the ensuing winter application 1o the Legislature for an appropriation ot $12,000 to | up'the necessary buildings for the con- tractor. The appropriation was granted, but the Amount only covered apout two: and the result nother appropr! for and obtained. Tho contractor inee never worked, I think, more than 160 men, and 1 at present employing ouly about balf that number, It its also said that he is now to the State, even for the worked [hia case illustrates generally the manner in which the large deficiency bas accumulated during past years, The whole drawback to the successful ment of the prison may to expressed by th ‘laxity of discipline.’ Now, what othor state of things can be expected when it is well known that more than 150 daily papers are taken by the convicts, and that grocery wagons from the village have been for years past in the habit of going down there every morning, and the drivers permitted to pass through the various shops forthe purpose of taking orders fromthe in- mates t’” DISMISSING EXCISE COMPLAINTS.
