Mr. Mornin, (rep.) of Me, Commitice op the Legislative, Judic Appropriation bill, reported that Deen unable to agree, and moved that the Senate agree to the new conferen ked for by the House of Kep: Fesentutives. In explanation of the report Mr. Morrill Bent to the Clerk's desk and had read the proposition pf the Senate conterees as presented in thy How Yerday by Mr. Randall, and said the Con Propriations of the disposed to meet every honest disponition ot the House of ‘Representatives to de expenditures. Those who bad obs of the Senate would agree that ao or disposition had at any time be The House sent to the Senate this « the the Conterence and Execu from the commitiee had tee on Seuate from the outs rved other feeling n presented. ropriation bill with certain amendments, the first o! which related to the compenration of those in the civil service, and the Second to the reduction of the numerical force of that Bervice, These were the two fundamental propositions Upon which tho disagreement took place, The bill came from the House of Representatives at the end of Bix months, and at the end of this six months it w expeeted that the Senate would pass it as it was—con- Saining propositions changing the law of the tand. Ho argued that the ouly proper function of the Commit- Yeo on Appropriations was to consider, first, what tho service required, and then to provide for it, The House of Representatives proposed a reduction in salaries varying from ten to twenty-five per cent on the salaries of ail clerks above the first cl A general Feduction of ten per cent was proposed, and the reduc- tion of salaries of other officers above tourth class clerks was irregular. The Senate approved of tne action of the Commiitee on Appropriations, in report- ‘ng against the reductions, and deelared that the yrovince of the committee was not to change he law, but to recommend = appropriations B accordance with it Now the Senate was % im eontereuce with the statement that the Bouse did not agreo with the amenaments; that the House put its fiat, its judgment, against the Senate and the law. It would be said that the House gathered to Mtaelf all that omnipotence which is peculiarto the English House of Commons, making the House of Com. mons the British Parliamest. A conference commit- Yee bad come to mean the will of ono house of Con- fress, and only one. On such ground the conference Was impracticable, because there could be but one side Wo the question. As long as the House of Representa tives insisted only the Senate must consent to the con- ference, but when the House got so far as to adhere it Would be revolution—absolute revolution—a defiance of the law, and that meant revolution in this country, Mr. Morrill then reviewed the action ef the former conference committee on this bill, aud argued that the eivil service was no myth. It had its right tothe compensation fixed for it by law. The Senate conferees | had met the House half way. If be dono consistent with ‘the Senate he would be glad if elsewhere would proclaim it. He had done the utmost in his power to concilate the two houses, and he conceded everything possible to bring about such action as to the reduction of the umerical force of the civil service, The House pro- to reduce that force to the extent of 1,200 The Senate Committee on Appropriations came to the con- clusion that a reduction couid be made to the extent of about one-third of Uuat number, and Coat was all the service would bear at the present time, The Commit. tee on Appropriations took the pains to imquire of the heads of the departments as to the extent of the reduc- fions which conid be made wichout detriment to the public service und learned that a reduction could de made to the extent of about 30u. The Senate com- mittee, however, 10 meet the House hallway, agreed to Teduction to the extent of 600, believing that) it was Detter that the public service should suller somewhat than have an important Appropriation bill tail, But this proposition was absolutely rejected by the House. The whole amount to be saved by reducing the clerks’ salaries, as proposed by the House, would not exceed 000 or 000, Mr. Wixpom, of Minnesota, a member of the Com mitice on Appropriations, said, after a careful calcul Hon it hed veeu found thai tho raving would be but Tittle over $100,000, It was not the amount involved so much as it was the principle of coercing the Senate tu change the law. Mr. Epwonns, (rep.) of Vt.—That is all they care for, Mr. Monnint, resuming, said:—It was not on the principle of u just ecouomy thatgthis thizg was done by the House. Iteould not vo made apparent nere or anywhere cise thas there was any necessity or public justice in the attempt to raid upon the Blerks in the departments It was too insiguificant altogether for tbe consideration of statesmansuip. The iscple which laid behind this action of the House of resentatives covered the whole tield of legislation Anuihilated the Senate of the United States. Mr. Morrill then referred vo the severa! appropriation bitls, said in that for the support of the army there was & proposition to reorganize the whole army—a thing #0 intricate and delicate that months would be required to do it intelligentiy. Again, it was threatened that the army would be abolistied.

Such language as used vere to-day was idle alarm, and extraordinary ip the Sei at this time. It was more like stump speeches than anything cise.

Each house must siand upon its own judg- ment. Mr. Monroy said the Election law was put upon an appropriation bill, but it was by the consent of both houses ot Congress. When the House said it would Lot pass an appropriation dill unless the Senate will do gy, 1t Was nullitication, Mr. THURMAN Said nullification was like a good many other terms now flaunted in the face of the people— full of sound and fury, aud meant nothing. What w: the use of talking as if we stocd upon a volcano? No | one had a right to suppose that one House of Congress was less patriotic than the other. He then referred to the remarks of Mr. Morrill, and said he must say that there was something of vehemence und passion in bin | manner this morning which did not look like a peace conference, and when it was followed up by a talk about nullification he did not understand the scene enacted here to day. Mr. Loca, (rep.) of LiL, satd be agreed with the Sen- ator from Indiana (Mr, Mortou) that the action of one house of Congress ying it would not agree to propriation bills unless the other would agree to chanye acertain law was both nullification and revolution. He denied that the House had the sole right to originate appropriation bilix, und said if the Senate should put upon appropriation bill any legislation which did not meet the assent of the House of Representatives h would vote at once to withdraw it, The acton of the House of Representatives in the present case was to make a little capital betore the country, and he (Mr. Logan) would stay here until tho expiration of his term of service before be would agree to the proposi- tion demanded with a hand at his throat, Mr. Keeway, (dem.) of N. Y., said all this debate about destroying the government and nullification had | no application here, Business men througout the | country were reducing the number of their employés as well as curtailing salaries. He could assure the Senate that the people of the country would stand a | good deal of this kind of revolution in the government service. « Mr. Bocy, (dem,) of Mo, said he regretted that this debate had been furced upon the Senate now, Senators who believed in honest retorm bad a right to reply to the extraordinary arguments made here to-day by the Seuators from Indiana and IIlinois (Messrs. Morton and He detended the action of the House of Rep- Tesentatives in reducing expenses, and argued that the Senate had no right to assail the motive of the House | of Representatives. That body had acted in obedience to the voice of the people. | * The motion of Mr. Morrill to grant the new confer- rence asked for by the House wag agreed to, and we Chair appointed Messrs.

Mr. LoGax gave notice that ho would call up the House bill for the equalization of bounties to-morrow, | during the morning hour. AFTER RECESS. Legislative business was resumed after the impeach- ment proceedings Were adjourned, and Mr. Edmunds submitted an order to amend rule twenty of rules for the government of impeachment trials, so that on all offers of and objections to evidence and other inter. | Jocutory and incidental questions one counsel and one manager may be heard, and the whole argument on each side sbail not exceed thirty minutes without permission of the Senate He asked that it be laid over, and gave notice that he would call it up for con sideration to-morrow. Mr. CONKLING gave hotice that he would offer an amendment so as to provide that consuliation in the Senate may be beld without clearing the gallerics and cosing the doors, and said his purpose was to allow the members of the Senate to express their opinions on questions arising. Mr. COCKRELL gave notice that he would submit an | amendment to the order of Mr, Edmunds, so as to limit the time for argument to twenty, instead of | tuirty minutes. Mr, Windom was,excnsed from service on the Sundry | Civil Appropriation bill, and Mr, Sargent was ap- pointed in bis piace. The Senate then, at forty minutes past five P, M, adjourned until eleven o'clock to-morrow, HOUS! OF REPRESENTATIVES.

Hart pre- siding The principal object of the meeting was the consideration of questions concerning the nomination and appointment of marshals and inspectors at the on tho matter, It was considered that little could be done Juntil after the deliberation of the Democratic State Committee, but some members thought that is would be best to have some committee representing the organization in communication with the Police Commissioners. The Chairman spoke of his experience in the past in this matter, and said that if the organization were to wait until after the action of the State Committee it would be too late to have a fair hearing. Ex-Alderman Plunkett said that as tho Police Board is now constituted two are avowedly for Tammany Hall and two are republicans, Colonel Murphy said that the laws of the State re- quire that each of tho two great parties shalbsend tho names of inspectors of election to tho Police Board at a certain time before the election. In w of the action of Tammany Hall at St. Bouts ho did not think the State Convention could (nore this association and accept Tammany as | the representative democrat¢ organization of tho eounty, He therefore suggested that this organization act Independently and with a view to the right to have & proper representation im this matter, Alter some further discussion Mr, Charles W. Brooke offered the following resolution: — Resolved, That a committer of five be appointed to wait apon the Polies Commissioners with a list of inspectors and such other officers of election as are neesssory to be ap: pointed under the laws of the State, and demand their ap- pointment ax such officers by Augnst 1, 1876, This resolution was adopted, and Mr. Denis McMahon offered the tollowing:— Resolved.

Wasminctox, July 7, 1876. ‘The Senate at two o'clock resumed consideration of the articles of impeachment against W. W. Belknap, late Secretary of War.

Mr. Merrimon moved that the deciaien of the Presi dent be not sustained. He did this to allow further argument by counsel. ir, Carpenter’said he offered to prove that no injury could acerue to anybody by such residence, except to raise the prices of the articlas sold to the soldiers, and he wanted to show that the prices were not raised, but were actually lowered, by the contract between Marsh and Evans. Tho third allegation of the articles of im- peachment charged that the contract worked a great rdship to the soldiers, and the defendant proposed to show that it was not the practice of sutlers to re- side at posts, and that the contract between Marsh and Evans resulted in no injury to any person. After further discussion the Senate sustained the objection by sustaining the decision of the Chatr. The witness idgntified a letter written by himself to the Secretary of r, enclosing a letter written by Mr. Whitelaw Reid. The couesel offered them only for identification, and declined to put them in evidence at present. The managers demaifded the right to examine the letters, or they should object to their fature introduction. Mr. Carpenter allowed the managers to examine the Ietters privately. @ Would not your order nave corrected the abuses complained of, ii the officers had executed the order Togardiess of whether tho trader resided at the post or not? A. I think so, and I bave go stated. ‘The witness said he had known the Secretary of War for some years; even belore he was made Secretary. Q What has been his character as Secretary of War? Odjected to, as being really a part of the defence and not cross-examipation; and the managers said they were willing to admit that the course of the Secretary was ail right up to this transaction. The objection was overruled and witness answered that, so far as it hus come within his knowledge, he has Deen active, energetic and faithiul, MAKSH’S BANK ACCOUNT.
