‘ | WASHINGTON. Action of Congress in View of Senator Morton’s Death, THE ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL. Senator Conkling and the New York Appointments. | THE NAVY DEPARTMENT INVESTIGATION, Struggle of the Anti-R2sumption- ists in the House. FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. Wasmixatox, Nov, 1, 1877. THE QUESTION OF CONFIRMING THE PRESI- DENT’S NOMINATIONS—FALSE REPORT OF THE ACTION OF REPUBLICAN SENATORS IN CAU- CUS—SENATOR CONKLING .AND THE NEW YORK APPOINTMENTS, A report was circulated hero to-day that a caucus of tho republican Senators had been held at which it ad been agroed that any objection made to a nomina- tion should throw it over to the regular session, and that any objection by a Senator shoula be fatal to any nominations from his own State, The report is talse, No such agreement hos been made; no caucus ot the republican Senators has been held at which this policy wags agreed on, nor could the republican Senators body bo brought to agree to such a policy, No doubt a number of them would, and there is a report this evening that a private meot- ing of anumber of Senators has been held within twenty-four hours, at which those present, said to number less than twenty, did talk over this policy and agreed upon it, but it 1s certain that at least a dozen Bud probably more of the republican Senators will not bind themselves to any such policy, on the contrary, thoy will resist it. : Tho anti-Hayes republicans are extremely anxious to delay many of tho nominations, aud doubless thoy will do all they can in this direction in the commit- teox, The Senate is a slow moving body, and Sena- tors are so carefully courteous toward euch other that Movements for delay will bave a certain degree of success, but no Senator will be permitted to pocket nominations, and when they are onco roported to the Senate, unless good grounds are shown for their rejeo- tton, they will bo confirmed. The democratic Senators havo resolved to vote for tbe confirmation of every Ot man, and they will not listen for a moment to the Mischievous and corrupting fraud called “the cour- tosy of the Senate,” by which, under the late admin- \stration, the objection, without reason, of a single Senator was allowed by the republican majority to outweigh tho authority and responsibility of the Prosident’s nomination, and the most insignificant Fepublican Senator was able to exercige, single- handed, a greater power than that which the constitu- tion confers on tho President, It 1s certain that this evil practice will bo broken down the first time It abows itself in the Senate, and this is so well under- stood that it is doubtful whether any Sonator will be so absurd us to try iton. As to a Senator's objection toa nomination carrying it over to the regular ses- sion, this, if attempted, will also fail. Mr, Conkling bas gone to New York. Hoe called ® meeting of the Committee on Commerce, of which he is chairmap, and which is two re- port on the New York Custom House nomi- mations, for next Wednesday. There will be a full meoting of tho ‘committee, An absurd story ts told that Senator Matthews had had some words with Senator Conkling about the delay in reporting the New York appointments. Mr. Matthews say? ho has Dot made any inquiry, spesial or general, in ur out of any session, special or otherwise, of the Senato, ot any Senator relative to the conOrmation of the New York appointments, and that the report is entiroly falzo, THE ARMY APPROPRIATION—REPUBLICAN MEM- BERS OF THE COMMITTEE STICKING FOR AN INCREASE OF THE ARMY. Tho Appropriations Committee yesteraay agreed upon a bill maintaining the army at its presont num- bers for the current fiscal year and without any pro- viso against its use in the Southern States which the democrats were willing to forego, During the night, however, 1t occurred to one or two democrats on the committee that the army was too big and to the republicans that it was too small, and this morn- Ing the committee could not agrec. Later, however, the objecting democrats were persuaded to givo up their point, but the republicans, it is understood, stick totheirs, They insist that the army shall be at once enlarged by several thousand men. Tho democrats reply that any enlargement ought to be leftto the regular session, when such a mo:sure can be fully dis- cussed; that mow the question is to appropriate money which has been already to a large extent expended; that to bring up the question of enlargement would only delay the necessary appro- priations, and they are ready to make liberal appro- Priations on the present basis. Unloss the republican Members agreo by to-morrow morning the majority of the committee will bring their bill before the House at once and ask for its adoption, The imprea- Bion is to-night that the ropublicun mombers of the eommitteo who at first were quite ready to agree to tho proposal are sticking ata trifle, and that unless they menn to bring on at onco a long debate thoy will agree to-morrow morning, in which case tho army Dill will pass immediately. MR. EWING’S STKUGGLE IN THE MORNING HOUR—UNKIND INNUENDOES FROM HIS FRIENDS, Mr. Ewing remains tied ap in the morning hour, and is losing some of his fmends, who begin to think that his extrome desire to report the bill himself, which led him to ask this privilege trom tho chairman of the committee, and the tremendous | urgency with which.be attempted to rush through the Hotse, sre altogether unconnected with the chances of the Ohio Senatorial election. In short, there are anti-resumptionists to- | day ungenerous enough to bint that Mr, Ewing ts making astatking horse of tho inflation policy, and that it would be much better If he would go siow and give somebody cise a chance, Thus envy corrodes the minds of statesmon. Mr. Ewing will be carried over until next Wednesday tn the morning bour, and he will not got out of his dilemma until he consents to Iet his bill como into Committee of tne Whole for gen- | eral dobate, This will bo fatal to tho bill, as is pow generally acknowledged. Sennen FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT, Wasitrxatox, Nov. 1, 1877. BENATOR MORTON'S DEATH—ACTION OF THE TWO HOUSES OF CONGRESS—-FEELING THE CITY. The death of Senator Morton will be announced in tho Senate to-morrow morning, immediately after prayer, and the Senate will adjourn until Monday next, when the absence of a number of Senators will cause a further adjournment until Wednesday next, IN In the How after the Appropriation Commit- too has reported the Army bill and it has been ordered to be printed, a motion ‘will be mado to adjourn until Monday, and those who want to go homo to vote will be excused, The fact of. the death of Senator Morton was not generally crodited at first owing to the previous cou- tradictory reports about ft, but when the intelligence was definitely kvown the orgavist of tho Metropolitan Methodist Charch played the “Dead March in Saul’ from the steepie, the melancholy music of the chimes producing # most sombre eflect in the still night time. SENATOR MORTON'S SEAT IN THE SENATE CHAMBER—HOW SPNATOR RANSOM'S | NAME CAME TO BE MENTIONED IN CONNECTION WITH IT. Nearly year ago Scvator Morton told Senator Ran- som that the latter’s ili health was caused by his sitting near the door of the Senate lobvy and advised bum to seek apother seat, Senator Ransom jokingly replied that the Sepator from ludiana would probably not be returned im 1879 and be should sciect his seat. To this Senator Morton responded that be liked his taste im the selection, but could not commend the judgment of his colleague (Senator McDonald) in encournging avy belief that In- diana would not continue a republican State. ‘Never- theless,” gaid Mr, Morton, “ask tor my seat.” A few days after this General Ransom, observing that Sen- ator Morton was mot as robust as usual, declined to Gliow his name to be entered for the sent. Since the meeting of theBenate in October there have been no less than five Senators, prompted by the democratic vie- tories in Indiana, who have become anxious to secure Mr. Morton’s chair, but according to the Inte Senator's own suggestion it will be given to Senator Ransom, unless that gentleman shoud decline to accept it, tho unfounded report having gone abroad that the appli- cation had been made in view of Senator Morton’s ex- pected death. It is eustomary for Senators to ask to be assigned to desks One and two years in advance of probable ebange in the representation of a State, and it is im iting in this connection to know that Senator Hill, of Georgia, anticipating Mr. Conkling’s retirement to private life, bas asked to be assigned bi desk on the 4th of March, 1979. SENATOR CONKLING AND THE CONFIRMA- TIONS—ATTITUDE OF THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE ON COMMERCE—A FIGHT ON THE NEW YORK APPOINTMENTS CERTAIN, The Senate in executive session to-day confirmed two collectors of customs, one for the district of New- port, R. 1, and the other for the district of George- town, D, ©. The oflges aro comparatively unimpor- tant, but as the confirmations proceeded with the approval of the Committee on Commerce, which has not. held a meotiag this session, the announcement caused much surprise, The eyes of the Senato are upon the chairman @f that committer, and as tho New York Custom Houso appointments are in his bands the action to-day naturally excited curiosity. ‘rhe explanation to some extent rolicves Senator Conkling from the prevailing supicion that he ts pro- crastinating tho consideration of the more important nominations. It i customary for Senators to ask of their colleagues on committees tne Priviiege of tavorably reporting unimportant nominations without the formality of a meoting of tho committee. In this way Messrs. Pratt and Dodge were confirmed as colloctors of customs. Hearing that there was some talk about a delay on the part of the chair- man of the Committee on Commerce in calling the committee togother, Senator Conkling yesterday and to-day took occasion to personally explain to the members of the committee that a conoate- nation of circumstances had prevented a full mecting of the committee until alter the elections, and that on Wednesday next, after the clections, ho should call tho members together, It will bo remembered that the Senate committves were appointed on tho second day of the sorsion and that over two weeks have passed since the Commerce Committee has been revived, The members are Messrs. Conkling, Spen- cor, Burnside, Patterson and MeMitlan, republicans, and Messrs. Gordon, Randolph, Ransom and Dennis, democrats, There is, however, anothor complexion to the committee, Senators Conkling, Spencer ond Patter- son compose the anti-administration coterie; Messrs, MoMillan and Burnside are regarded as en rapport with the President, while the democratic members are, to use an expression attributed to Mr. Conkling, “camp followers of the administration, which pitohes its tents sometimes in one Southern State and some times in another.’’ His explanations to the members of the committee were exceedingly gracious, and it is reported that be defers to the “camp followers” as the leaders of the committee and means promptly to report the names ot Messrs, Roosevelt, Merritt and Prince, Having reported these nomivations to tho Senate as an official duty Mr. Conkling proposes—it is said on good authority—to stand aside as an interested purty, und upon Senator Spencer will devolve their management, while Mr. Conkling assumes the posi- tion of an injured party and appeals to the re- publican Senators whether during the remaiu- der of their terms while im the majority they are going to waive a rule of courtesy that has obtained so long—namely, that of allowing the repub- can Senators to control federal confirmations in their respective States. Mr. Conkling’s purpose will be, according to his frievds, te parry tho arguments of the Prosident’s supporters with quotations irom tho elec- tion returns’ in Ohio and other States, Of Senator Conkling’s determination to fight there is now, accord- ing to bis friends, not the least doubt. THE NAVY D&PARTMENT INVESTIGATION—ITS PURPOSES AS STATED BY CHAIRMAN WILLIS. Mr. Willis, Chairman of the House Committee on Expenditures in the Navy Department, will offer at the first opportumty a resolution authorizing searching investigation into the affairs of the Navy Departmont. The objects of the resolution, as stated by Mr, Willis to-night, are to agcertain the true con- dition of accounts in the Navy Department; whether any expenditures have been made with- out warrant of law; whether any appropriations have been diverted jrom the purposes intended by law; whether any deficiencies exist 1m the several bureaus, if so the extent of euch deficiencies and whether they arose fraudulently or otherwise; whether any contracts have been illegally entered into, if so their datos and character; what steps nuye been taken by tho Secretary of the Navy to inquire toto the disposition of old or other material in the navy yards of the United States, The resvlution par- ticularly Inciudes instructions for a full scrutiny of all the acts of the Navy Department between the 4th and 11th of March last, when the pay of the navy 1s sup- posed to have been made away with. THE PAY OF THE ARMY—PURPOSES OF Tur ARMY APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE. Tho sub-committee of the House Appropriation Committce—Messrs. Atkins, Hewitt and Foster—have devote t their entire time to tho consideration of the Army Appropriation Dill, which has been reduced to an estimate for only 20,000 men, Tho reductions, however, in the general estimates will not be so large as might at first bo supposed, Tho deficiencies must | be provided for, and the expense of transportation in | moving the army is very great, It ts said that tho committee will bot, under the pretence of economiz- ing expenditures, re.use te recommend the appropri. ation ag required by the statements of army officers, POSTAL AEFAIRS—SUBDIVISIONS OF THE COM | MITTLE AND THE DUTIES ASSIGNED THEM. The House Committee of Post Ofice and Poss Roads has deen divided {nto sub-committees, to which has been reiorred all matters relating to post routes, re- adjustment of pay to railroads for transportation of the mails and readjustment ot salaries of postmasters, The committee bolls its first meeting on Monday next, when the chairman, Mr. Waddell, will present the bill for payment of Southern mail contractors betore the war, which was passed at the last session, but which has deen suspended by tho Treasury Department pending the fling of all the claims of this cbaractor, The amount appropriated was $575,000, which Secretary Sherman does not think will cover the claims, RELICS OF THE FRANKLIN. EXPEDITION—THE FLORENCE ORDERED TO COLLECT ALL THAT ALE ATTAINABLY. Reterring to tho statement in one of the New York morning journals that a shipping firm in wbat city were propuring to fit out by private suoscription a ves- sel to search for relics of the Franklin expedition Captain Howgate says that’ the commander of the Florence, the advance vessel of tho national expedi- lion to the Arctic seas, has instructions to collect all attainable relics of the unfortunate Frankiin and bring (hem back on the return voyage next year, aud that it would b@ botter to wait such return than to it Out at great expense a second Vessel to go over the same ground, Captain Howgate thinks that the triends of Arctic research wauid do well to concentrate their energies upon one well directed effort under national auspices, and not to waste them upon disjointed and spasmodic undertakings which, however well tn- tended, can nave but littie hope of success, THE LAND OFFICE AT EAU CLAIRE, wWis,— MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF AN ORDER, Soon after the inauguration of President Hayes and before the formation of his Cabinet an order wag made by Secretary Chandier for the removal of the United States Jand office at Bau Claire, Wis, to Chippewa Falls, about twelve miles distant, The order was gent to the resident, and is claimed to have been signed by bim, It was suppused to be the culmination of a sharp rivalry between the two towns, Governor Falis district, who was bere and procured the ordor, icit under the impression that the question was set- tled. The crder atterward mysteriously disappeared and has not yet beon found, the land office remaining at Eau Claire, Governor Pound is urging Socrotary Schurz to investigate the mystery. —— -+ GENERAL WASHINGTON DESPATCHES, WasuixGrox, Nov. 1, 1877.

SENATE, Wasninatox, Nov. 1, 1877. The desk of Senator Morton was marked by a bou- quet of plain white flowers, placed thereon by some friend, The Chaplain in bis opening prayor again alluded to the illness of that Senator, saying :— © thon ever. self-oxistent, all-sufliciont Jehovah, the Lord our G whose sight all things are open, n life work must come to an end, Must bo fiuished, every dying man t his life, behold, we beseech Thee, © thonchts in the be mingled with the of which seems to be every earthly journ must lie, breathing dispensat mysteries of the grav shi th settling upon the Senate and upon the lund, ax well as er distant vome where eyes are weeping and hing: fail wnd upon yu hearts May we walk with reverence and so sclous recognition of Thy supreme We nnite oar pra; to beseech Thea Sonator the prospect of a better lito; to for him a new career and another Journey beyond the ness In th andr stars.

Y. —To amend section 2,981 of the K d Statutes of the United States so | ag Ly allow repayments by the Seerctary of tho Treasury of tho tonnage tyx where It has becn exacted In con- {ravention of treaty provisions. In introducing the bili Mr, Conkling said he did so by requost. He was as-ured that it Was in substance or literally the samo as a bill reported by the Committe on Finance which recentiy received the approval of the Senate. He supposed that to ve so, although ho was not pre- parod to give that absolute assurance, ‘The bill provides for retunding that tax as exprossed in the titie, bul declares that the act shall not be con- strued to authorize the refunding of any tonnage dutics whatever exacted prior to the Ist day of Juue, 1862, By Mr. InGaita, (rep.) of Kan.—To provide for the settlement of tax lien certificates erroneously issued by the late authorities of the District of Columbia, Several private vilis were introduced and rolerred to Appropriate committees, and the Senate at twonty- Live minutes past twelve o'clock Went into executive Seesion, anu When the doors were reopened, ai nine teen minutes to one, adjourned until to-morrow, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

Mr. Ewixe, (dom.) of Ohio, called up his motion to Teconsider the vote of yesterday recommitting to the Committee on Banking and Currency the bili to repeal the third section of the Resumption act, Mr, Eamxs, (rep) of R. 1, inquired as to whether apy discussion of the bill was to be allowed, Mr, Ewixa replied that it had been the desire of the Commitice to have ample discussion of the provisions of tbe bill, but as tt wus in the morning hour the op- poruatnee for the discussion and management of tho il were very much restricted, besides thore was some probavility at least of an gress. The commit j, bin to ask (as 8000 as the bill should be before the House) Unanimous consent to have the discussion continue to-day until tureeo’clock, with the understanding that then the previous he jon should be demanded on the passage of the bill, Mr. Coxcer, (rep.) of Mich, inquired whether amendments to the bill would be permitted to bo offered. Air, EWixG replied that he had been instructed by the committee to yield to the gentleman from Illinois ay. Fort) to offer the amendment presented yoster- ay. The Sreaker suggested to Mr. Ewing to ask consent to hi the bill taken out of the morning hour, Mr. ConGen pressed his inquiry as to whother other amendments than Mr, Fort’s would be allowed to ve offered. The Sreaker suggested that that wai the House to determine, Mr, EwixG—1 am desirous to bi he sense of the House taken on any amendments that may be offered, provided they do not endanger the consideration and disposition of the bill. (i,aughter, ) The Srkakrr—The oifering of amendments would not displace the consideration of the bill. Whether amendments might impwir she bill is a matter of opinion. (Laughter, ) Mr. Ewixg adopted a previous suggestion of the Speaker and asked unanimous consent to have tho bul taken out of the morning hour, Mr. HAue, (rep.) of Me. ; Mr. GaR¥IELD,(rep.) of Obto, and others, ovjected. Mr. Saver, (dem.) of Ohio, submitted as a parlia- mentary question that the expiration of the sixty min- utes did nut necessarily close the morning hour, but that tt required tho interposition of some other Lusi- of higher privilege. SPEAKER siated tn reply that at tho expiration of the morning hour it would be in order to tnove to gO to tho Speaker's tablo or to go into Committee ot the Whole, and that cither of these motions woulda nevessartty close the morning hour, Mr. SAYLER admitted that that was unquestionably matter for true. Alter some further discussion on this point Mr. Ewing moved the previous question, 1he previous question wus seconded—128 to 120— and thed the House procreded to vole by yeas and Days on ordering the main quostion, Mr. Conger, of Michigan, moved that the House do now adjourn; but the motion (which was intended solely tor dolay) came too late, as the Speaker stated that several bamcs on the roll had already been called. Tho vote on ordering the main question rosulted— yeas 132, nays 124. The question tion recurred on reconsidering tho Voto of yesterday —recommitting the bill, Mr. HunneLt, (rep.) of Mich., hero interposed a motion t© adjouru, and the calling of tho yeas and nays vn that motion occupred the remainder of tho morning hour, Mr. ConckR, Of Michigan, suggested that the morn- ing hour hed expired, Tho SpeaksR—Lhe main question having been or- dered by the House 1t must be executed. I[t is, Shall the vote recommitting the bill be reconsiderod ¢ Mr, Coxcer—Lhat will be the first vote in the next morning hour. The Srkaker—The Chair thinks not, The Chair thinks that uott the main question Is exhausted tho morutng hour must continue. The next question will be, Will the House reconsider the vote? That question being determined tuo main question will bo exhausted, . Mr. ConceR—All right; | am quite satisted, The SPKAKKR—Tho Chuir always desires to please both sides, ‘The question was then put on reconsidering the vote, aud it wus agreed to. ‘The SPkAKER—The morning hour has expired. Mr. SayLen, of Ubio—Has the Chair any objection to hear an objection to that ruling? The SpkakeR—Nove at all Mr. SavteR—Oo what ground does the Chair decide that tho morning hour has expired ¢ he Srxaxur—lhe morning hour means a single hour. It does not mean two hours nor any otner rof hours. ‘The matter was then passed over. Note.—Under tactics of the opposition to consume the morning hour each day in dilatory motions, action. o the bill can be postponed indefinitely. ‘Che vill has 1 status tn the Houre except during the morning hour. ani fi ir.

DES!ROUS TO VoTR. Mr. Porter, (dem.) of N. Y., offered a resolution that when tho House adjourn to-morrow it adjourn to mect on Tuesday next, und then no business shall be in order but a motion to adjouru until tho following Thursday, 1a expianation ve reterred to the fact that on next Tuesday elections ure to be held in Now Jersey, Ponnsyivania, New York, Massachusetts, Wiscousin, Minnesota and other States, and be sald that many members desired to go home for legiti- mate purposes connecied with those elections, Mr. Congen, of Michigan, asked Mr. Potter whether he tuonght tht the public interest would be promoted by Jotiing members go humme, Mr. Vortsx—lL think that the public interest would be promoted by letting the gentiemen on this side of the House go home—(laughter on the republican side)—but f cannot draw up a parliamentary resolu- tion for that purpose, Mr. KELLEY, (rep.) of Pa—Itis possible that the House may do some business in thove days. It is known that worthy officers of our navy are borrowing money at inordinate rates of interest because Con- gress bas failed to appropriate moncy to pay them, I think the country would be as well served by Con- gress remaining in session and parsing un uppropria- tion bill as it would be by diffusing in the several States in which olections are to be held the small num- ber of members who want 10 vote at elections. Mr. Cramer, (Jetn.) of Pa. —I desire to state that tho last Conyress did not fail to make an appropriation tor the support of the navy.
