WASHINGTON. Closing Hours of the Extra Ses: sion. of Congress, . REPUBLICANS ROUNDING OUT THEIR RECORD, Adjournment To-Day and No Second Call. —_—_—_.*——— s VETO OF THE MARSHALS. BILL Zack .Chandler Again Goes for the Democracy. Wasuinoton, June 30, 1879. ‘The following Message from the President was delivered to the House of Representatives immedi- ately after twelve M. to-day. To rug House oy REPRESENTATIVES:— =~ 1 retfirn to the House of Representatives, in which | it originated, the bill entitled “An act making ap- Propriations to pay fees of United States marshals and their general deputies,” with the following ob- jections to its becoming a law:— ‘Khe bill appropriates the sum of $600,000 for the payment during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1880, of United States marshals and their general depu- ties. The offices thus provided for are essential to the faithful execution of the laws. > ‘They were created and their powers and duties defined by Congress at the first session after the adoption of the constitution in the Judiciary act, which was approved September 2%, 1789, Their gen- tral dutiés, as défined in the'act which originally established them, were substantially the same as those prescribed in tho statutes now in force. The Principal provision on the subject in the Revised Statutes 18 as follow: Sxc. 787.—It shall be the duty each district to attend the District and Circuit courts when sitting therein, and to execute throughout the district all lawful precepts directed to him and is- sued under the authority of the United States, and he shall have power to command all necessary as- sistance in the execution of his duty. The original act was amended February 28, 1795, and the amendment is now found in the Revised Statutes in the following form :— Sxc. 788.—The marshals and their deputies shall aave in each State the same powers in, executing the Jaws of the United States as the sheriffs and their deputies in such State may have by law in executing the laws thereof. y By subsequent statutes additional duties have been from time to time imposed upon the marshéls and their deputies, tho due and regular performance of which are required for the efficiency of almost every branch of the public service, Without these offi- cers there would be no means of executing the war- rants, decrees or other processes of the courts, and the judiefdl system of the country would be fatally defective. DUTIES OF MARSHALS. The criminal juri’ action of ‘the courts of the United States is vory extensive, The crimes com- mitted within the maritime jurisdiction of the United States are a: cognizable only in'the courts of the United States. Crimes against public justice; crimes against the. operations of the yovern- ment, such as forgery or counterfeiting the Boney or securities of the United States; crimes against the postal laws; offences against the elective franchise, against the civil rights of citizens, against the existence of the government; crimes against the internal revenue laws, the cus- toms laws, the neutrality laws; crimes against laws, for the protection of Indiana and of, the public. lands—all of these crimes, and many others, can be punished ‘only under® United States laws~ laws which, taken together, constitute a body of juris- prudence which is vital to the welfare of the whole country, and which can be enforced only by means of the marshals and deputy marshals of the United States. In the District of Columbia all of the process of the courts is executed by the offi- ters in question, In short, the execution of the criminal laws of the United States, the service of all civil process in cases in which the United States isa party, und the execution of the revenue laws, the neutrality and many other laws of large tmportance depend on the maintenance of the marshals and their deputies. They are in effect the only police of the United States govern- ment. Officers with corresponding powers and du- ties are found in every State of the Union, and in ev@y country whigh\ag a jurisprudence which is worthy of the name. To deprive the national gov- ernment of these officers would be as disastrous to society as to abolish the sheriffs, constables and police officers in the several States. It would be a denial to the United States of the right to execute its laws; a denial of all authority whicn requires the use of civil force. The law entitles these officers to be paid, The funds needed for the purpose have been collected fromthe people and are now in the Treasury. No objection is therefore made to that part of the dill before me which appropriates money for the support of the marshals and deputy marshals of the United States, } ONJECTIONABLE FRATURES, The bill contains, however, other provisions whi are identical in their tenor and effect with the poise | vection of the bill entitled “An act making appropri- itions for certain judicial expenses,” which, on tho 23d of the present month, was returned to the House of the marshal of | to exercise before he could say to his constituents NEW YORK HERALD, TURSDAY, JULY 1, 1879.-TRIPLE SHEET. may be, and Congress will adjourn to-morrow with- out day. In other words, to quote the colloquial expression, democrats and republicans have agreed to disagree and to go before the county upon the | record as it is made up to date. The truce | was brought about in the following way:— The republicans conferred among themselves | and decided to offér @ Dill making the simple appropriation of $600,000 for the marshals and their. general deputies, which bil. they were at | liberty to introduce to-day, as it was Monday, and move to put upon its final passage by a suspension of the rules. The democratic leaders were spoken to, and in the House Speaker Randall was comimuni- cated with and the nature of the proceedings ex- plained to him, He readily agreed to recognize the mover of the bill, and Mr, Cannon, of Illinois, who was given charge of it, rose at the appropriate moment and submitted it. Mr, Springer, who appeared to have misunderstood the nature of the arrangement, sprang to his feet and offered as an amendment all the political por- tion of the bill just vetoed by the President, but the situation wae explained to him and he did not press his motion, A vote by yeas and nays was taken on the naked proposition for an appropriation, and it failed of even ® majority, two-thirds being necessary to pass it. The vote resulted sixty-one yeas and eighty-two nays, one less than & quorum, but the Speaker voting, which he did for the second time to-day to supply a similar deficiency, the requisite 144 was obtained, aud the bill was lost. Similar action was taken in the Senate by Mr, Windom, although that body has not the constitutional power to originate an appro- priatiom bill, But i was an understood matter on all sides. The republicans have thus placed them- selves in the position of having exhausted every parliamentary right and privilege avail- able by them. to secure the interests of their constituents. A similar view of tho ease was taken by the President’s advisers so that not only will there be an adjournment sine die to-morrow, but there will be no extra session. The whole difficulty has been relegated to the people to be settled at the polls so far ay it can be by an ex- pression of a popular verdict in the elections next tall, Senator Windom wishes it understood that it was in no factious spirit that he objected to the adjourn- ment resolution to-day which, if allowed to go toa vote, would have terminated the session at four o'clock this afternoon. His right to object was a parliamentary privilege which he was bound that he had fully exhausted all such privileges in the efforts to secure the completion of the national ap- propriations. It might be, as ‘he tacetiously put it, that the majority, after twenty-four hour's reflection, would change their mind and suddenly supply the deficient item in the appropriations. ‘There is now no fear of an inadequate number of members in the House to ameiid this resolution to morrow so as to allow of an immediate sdjourn- ment. The impatient Congressmen have @ll been» warned to stay to make up the requisite quorum, and as the republicans will not filibuster after to- day's compact, there will be no serious obstacle in the way of a prompt adjournment. When the Senate adjourned this afternoon the President and members of his Cabinet were quietly waiting in the President’s room at the Capitol to re- ceive the committee usually sent to inform him that Congress had appointed an hour for adjournment and to ask if he had anything further to communi- cate to that body. The news of the adjournment of the Senate surprised the President andthe members of the Cabinet, and without delay thoy all’ left the room ‘with the understanding that they. would meet there again to-morrow. The action of the Senate in adjourning without taking up‘the: regolution for adjournment was also a surprise to many of the democratic members of the House, who met. Clerk Adams returning to nis office with a bundle of bills which he had started with to report to the Senate. Mr. Atkins, the chairman of the .House Appropriation Committee, was on his way to the Senate chamber when the news of the sdjourn- ment greeted his ears. He stopped for moment as pees by the repertyanA.then said: .~ “That body has the most singular way of showing itsindependence. Why, cuss thera, why don’t they’ concur in the resolution to get away from Washing- ton immediately?” . The prophets who saidthat the 1st of July would find Congress in session are delighted at the verifica- tion of their prediction. Various profane remarks were indulged in by members eager to leave the city, No one could be found anxious to remain anothor day. A HEARTLESS JOKE BY CONGRESSMEN —CRUELTY INFLICTED ON HOSPITAL PATIENTS. A heartless joke was perpetrated at the Capitol this afternoon. A philanthropist who is collecting newspapers and other reading matter for the sick in tho hospitals placed one of his collection boxes duly labelled in the lobby behind the Speaker's desk. ‘The Congressmen, as they passed by the box, read the sign denoting its purpose. They rushed back to their desks, obtained all their spare copies of their speeches they had on hand and cruelly filled the box to the very top. . RIGHT OF WAY OVER THE GOVERNMENT LANDS AT PLATISBURG GRANTED FOR RAILROAD PURPOSES, Mr. Covert, of New York, succeeded in getting a suspension of the rules in the House to-lay to pass the bill introduced in the Senate by Mr. Kernan and in the House by Mr, John Hammond, of New York, to authorize the Secretary of War to release certain land of the United States to the people of New York in the town of Plattsburg for railroad purposes for a right of way, not exceeding six rods in width, and for a depot and other railroud purposes, not to Bxceed two acres, together with the right to oceupy the shore of Lake Champlain, opposite the premises, for the pur- pose of receiving, discharging and storing of Representatives with my objections to its ap- | ore and other freight, subject to such restric- proval. The provisions referred to are as follow: tions as the Secretary of War may think necessary Sxc, 2.—That the sums appropriated in this act | to protect the interests of the United States. The for the persons and public service embracod in its Provisions are in full for such persoms and public service for the fiscal year enuing June 30, 1830, and right of way and prémises are to be used exclusively for the purpose of constructing and operating the no department or officer of the government shail, | railroad authorized to be built by an act of the Leg- during said fiscal year, make any contract or incur | any liability for the future payment o( money under | uuy of the provisions of title 6, mentioned in see- tion 1 of this act, until an appropriation sufficient to meet such contract or pay such first been made by law. Upon & reconsideration in the House of Represon- tatives of the bill which contained these provsions | it lacked ® constitutional majority and therefore failed to become a law. In order to secure its enct- ment the same measure is again presented for my approval coupled in tho bill before me with appro- priatious for the support of marshals and their deputies during the next fiscal year, object manifestly is to place before the: Ex- ecutive this alternative—either to allow necessary functions of the public service to be crippled or suspended for want of the approprin. tions required to keev them in operation or to ap- prove legislation which in official communications to Congress he has declared would be a violation of his constitutional duty, Thus in this bill: the principle is clearly embodied that by virtue of the provision of the constitution which requires that “all bills for raising revonue shall originate in the House of Representatives,” a bare majority of the House of Representatives has the right to with- hold appropriations for the support of the govern- ment, unless the Executive consents to approve any legislation which may be attachod to appro- priation bills, I respectfully refer to the com- Muunications on this subject which [ have seut to Congress during the present session for 4 tement of the grounds of my conclusions, and de- sire here merely to repeat that in my judgiment to establish the prineiple of this bill ts to make a radi. | cal, dangerous and wuconstitutional change in the character of our institutions, RUTHERFORD B.

THE ADJOURNMENT QUESTION. Mr. Eaton, (dem.) of Coun., from the Committee on Appropriations, reported the House joint resolution to adjourn sine die attour P. M. to-day, with a recom- | mendation that it pase, Mr. Winpom, of Minnesota—I regret exceedingly | to interpose an objection, and I do it upon this | ground:—Ihe rules say that this resotution shall not be acted upon to-day if objected to, unless we on this side waive this rule for the purpose of pepting Congress go home without completing the business for which it was convened. Ido not think es waive the rule for that purpose, and I opt our frientis on @ night's deliberation will believe it their duty to pars the bill, which they can do before four o'clock to-morrow atternoon. Several democratic Semators—We don’t need any time for deliberation. The resolution accordingly went over until to- morrow. rg ZACK CHANDLER AGAIN, Mr. CHANDLER, (rep.) of Mich., said whether the adjournment resolution passed by the House is acted upon to-day or not is immaterial, We have now been three months and a half in this capital, not without certain results. We have shown to the people of this nation just what the «wemocratic party means. The people have been informed4s to your party’s ends and aim: ea shotguns and tissue ballots you hold the it majority in both houses of Congress, and you have taken un early opportunity to show what you mtend to do with that majority thus obtained, You are within sight of the promised iand: but like — ee of old we pees to send you up into the mauntain: to aie.

WaAsHINGTON, June 30, 1879. The Chaplain, in his prayer this morning, returned thauks that the House had been safely brought to the closing labors of the session, and asked the blessing of the Lord upon all the measures which have been wisely and prudently adopted, A message was received {rom the President an- nouncing his approval of the Judicial Expenses bill; also a miessage in writing, supposed to be the veto message on the “marshals” bill, ‘The business of calling the States for bills for ref- erence was gono through as the business of the morning hour on Monday, but there were only some Gozen bills introduced and few of these were of any public importance. ‘The whole number of bills introduced during the present session was about 2,525. Much of the morning hour was consumed in the reading of the bills introduced and in taking the yeas and nays upon motions of reference. The last vote showed the presence of 157 members, being thirteen more thag 8 quorum, THAT CONSPIRACY. At the Segre ‘of the morning hour Mr. Kine dem.) of La., rising to a question of personal privi- , denied that there had beet any conspiracy, as alleged Ly the Cincinnatt iter, between certain Southern peor and in republican mem- bers, with 8 view to vy og legisia- tive ends. He was a: that a profegs- ing to be a democrati¢ ula ive informa- tion from’such 4 source athat from which that in- formation must have Mr. Exxas, (dem.) of La., rising to a question of personal privilege, had ‘at the Olerk’s desk an article in the Washington Hvemixg Star of the 2ath inst. intimating thats bargain had been en- tered into between certain republican members (in- cluding Mr. Garfield, of Ohio), and certain demo- cratic members trom ia, Alabama. Louisiana and South Carolina, that on certain conditions the “marshals’” bill should be Sire without restric- tious being attached to it. Lite was too short, he said, to sk at every cur that barked, but on this occasion he must notice the statement so far as to deliberately and wil- ronounce it us unqualifiedly, Fully false in every particule Mr, Ev of aking for the South Carolina Moioyation, also i os unquall: fiedly false. ‘Mr. ACKLEY, (dem.) of La., suggested that it would be in order for Mr. wld to rise to a question of personal privilege. In response to this suggestion Mr. Garfield stated that he had been recently read.ng the old history of Xenophon. On one occasion, when a panic had stricken the Grecian camp and the soldiers were flee- ing without apparent cause, Charchus, general of the host, offered a reward for the arrest of the man who had let the ass loose amoug the armor, There had been no ass there, but the Greeks had one back laughing to their tents, and the panic had jain stopped. Now, said Mr. Garfield, it was thought thata good many Southern gentlemen were going to be Patriotic ete to get through some of the appropriations, and for fear that that might be done this story had been gotten up. (Laughter.) Mr. Brraut, (dem.) of Tenn.—Did the gentleman from Ohio do any of the braying? (Laughter.) THE VETO MESSAGE. The SrraxeR then laid before the House the veto message of the President on the ‘“‘marshal’s” bill, and it was read by the clerk and listened to without any demonstration of approval or disapproval on either side of the House. At the eonelusion of the reading Mr. Cons, of Indiana, moved to reconsider the pill. Mr. SpxincEn, (dem.) of Ill, inquired whether gen- tlemen on the other side, in ‘view of the importance of having marshals, would not give the necessary two-thirds to pass the bill over the President’s veto. The vote was then taken, and the House refused to pass the bill over the President's veto—yeas 83, nays 63—not the necessary two-thirds in the affirmative. The SPEAKER requested that members on either side of the House who were not bound by pairs should not leave the city until the final adjourn- ment, oth®rwise the House would be left without a quorum to-morrow. Mr. BLackBuRN, (dem,) of Ky., from the Commit- tee on Appropriations, reported (instead of a Senate Dili on the same subject, which he ciaimed the Sen- ate had not the constitutional right to origi s bill for the payment to committee clerks, nd other employés of both houses (who have not an- naal salaries) hfteen days’ extra pay, and authoriz- ing the immediate payment ot Congressional sais ries for July. The bill was passed.

(BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) Norra ADAMS, Mass., June 30, 1879. At six minutes before one o'clock this afternoon the village of North Adams was startled for the fitth time in the space of nine years with the terrible news that the nitro-glycerine works of George M. Mow- up. The explosion occurred in what is known as the packing room, about four rods west from the factory proper. William Long, foreman of the glycerine works, and James Pierce, a laborer, were at work in the building packing exploding tubes with dyna- mite, or, as Mr. Mowbray calls it, his “eighteen hun- dred and ‘seventy-nine compound.” The cause of the explosion will always remain a mystery, as has been the case in all former explosions. It is not known exactly how much of the powder was in the building, but without doubt there were several hun- dred pounds. VICTIMS OF THE DISASTER. Both men were experienced at the business. was about thirty years of age and single. His pa- rents live in Vermont. He was employed in the Hoosac Tunnel for several years by Professor Mow- bray, but had only been in the glycerine works since last September. All that was found of his body after the explosion was a portion of his trunk, his left arm, a@ piece of a leg and his feet. He wasa very careful wan at his business and was well liked by all who knew\him. James Pierce was forty-five years of age and leaves a wife and four children liv- ing in this town. Not a piece of his body could be found large enough for identification. He had been employed as u blaster with glycerine since 1870, working in the Hoosac Tunnel and in and about the works. He has been employed by Professor Mow- bray since last fall. A WRECKED STRUCTURE. The building that the mon were at work in was a wooden structure about forty feet square, and was literally demolished. The other portion of the works ‘were damaged to some extent. PREVIOUS EXPLOSIONS. Professor Mowbray built these works in the winter of 1868, and on December 23, 1870, the magazine blew up, killing ‘Mr. Valser, the superintendent of the works. March 12, 1871, the magazine blew up again, but without injury to any person. The third explo- sion occurred on January 26, 1876, this time killing two men, Benjamin Cook and John Cullen, and wounding John Wallace. The fourth of the series occurred in January, 1878. At this time Mr. Wilson, the watchman, was killed. One very singular thing about the explosion is that they have all, save the last, occurred in the winter, when the glycerine has been frozen, and in this shape it is claimed to be per- fectly safe, Long PERFECTLY SAFE. ‘The sccident to-day was the first for the dynamite, and it has heretofore been claimed that it was per- fectly safe, at all times, and under all circumstances, The most singular fact connected with this and all former sccidents to the work is that Mr. Mowbray has always been absent from home at the time. This time he is in Canada. Let it be said of Pro- fessor Mowbray that he has always done all that money could do for the families that have been left destitute by these terrible calamities, THE BOSTON FORGERY. ¥. EDMUNDS ARRAIGNED AND HEID FOR THE GRAND JURY—THE PRISONER'S MANNER IN couRT. [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) Boston, Juve 30, 1879. J. F. Edmunds, the Newton forger, was brought to-cay into the Municipal Court and arraigned on @ simple charge of forgery. There were no specifications as to amounts and no details of the crime for which he was brought up. The prisoner, who had been in consultation during the morning with several Newton gentlemen and personal friends in regard to his financial doings, was escorted into the cour, room by Officer Hewthorn, of Newton, and Inspec- tor Skelton, of this city. He was represented by Messrs. Hutchins and Wheeler. The interest of the banks was represented by Assistant District Attorney Adams and Henry D, Hyde. THK PRISONER'S MANNER. Of a naturally quick, nervous disposition, the prisoner when he lett his apartments at the Sherman House descended the steps so rapidly that the officers in charge kept pace with him with the great- est difficulty, and his gait from the hotel to the court house was the same. He was placed in the dock as- signed to common criminals and stood gazing around on the assembly in & nonchalant manner, and cooly picked his teeth with the little finger of his left hand, From the wild gleam of his eyes, however, it could be seen that his nervous temperament had been acted upon and intensified by some powerful agency. When re- quested to stand before the bar of the tribunal ho ascended the steps, quickly placed one hand on his hip, and, resting the elbow of the other on the rail and leaning his face upon his hand, awaited the pro- ceedings. and the Clerk ordered the prisoner to recognize in | the sum of $100,000 tor his appearance on the first Monday in July at the Superior Criminal Court. “GOT AN AWFUL HEADACHI Father Cook, the great philanthropist of the court, then approached the prisoner and fervently sh hands with him, and saia, “May God help and sadly de; reatly aflected this incident, and then two friends of the Phey had only time to ask him how a parsing sates. ¢ felt and recetve khort reply betore they were or- | dered away by the officials, | they had received orders to with him, as be was great who announced that jow no one to talk uilected mentally.

It was intended to place her onadry dock to-day, but noue could be found un- occupied. If the vessel can be placed to-day on one of the dry docks she will sail on ‘Thursday wiih the passengers and cargo with which she was freighted | on Saturday; otherwise she will be delayed fora week or more and her passengers will be transferred to another steamer of the line. The damage, the captain states, can be repaired for about $1,500, Beyond the injury to the bow the steamer sustained no damage. Indced, it isa matter of astonishment that, considering the speed and tonnage of the steamer, the damage was so comparatively trifling. “Had she been au iron vesvel,” said her builder yes- terday have gone down, so B e collision.” One ot the the bark tumbled over the forward deck of the steamer, and yet did no more damage than bend- ing the up ortion of oue ot the torward pump cytinders Low cable remuins intact, The bag- gage and car, ound ‘ectly secure, CAPTAIN DEAKEN'S REPORT, The followiny report of the collision was filed yes- terday by Captain Deaken, cou:mander ot the City of New York, in tue otlice of the United States Local Inspectors of Steain Vessels :— I have to report to rable Board the collision between the steame ew York and the Englisa burk Heleu, Lappened at about tem Sauurduy night, June za, ine min. worth, Jungitude about 74 uk almost instantly.

At twenty minuves past twelve, mid- night, tho bout returned to the steamer, having picked up one wan from the wreck, all that could be found, ‘The officer of the deck at the time (A. Johuson) rang engine bells to “slow,” “stop” und “back.” which awoke myself, When £ got in the pilot house the engine was working aback, but then there was no possibility of avoiding a col lisiou'4s the steamer still had headway, although the engine was reversed, After remaining in the vicinity of the wreck to about one o'clock this A.

A Henacp reporter had an interview with Captain Deaken, and tound him greatly depressed over the collision. “As tur as we are concerned on our ves- sel,” he remarked, ‘we escaped very fortunately; but then the loss of liteon the bark is terrible to think of. The cries ot the men for assistance I shall never forget. {am conscious that we did everything in our power to render assistance, and only regret that we did not succeed in saving all hands. Our passengers behaved with wonderful coolness and bravery, considering the lateness of the hour when the collision occurred, The only way lcan accougt for the collision is that the bark was just getting oft ot the fog and we were just going into it. We are caring for the poor tellows we rescued, and collected clothing for them from the officers and crew. I have been in command of vessels for fourteen years, and this is the first accident | ever met with at sea.” ‘The Captain corroborated in his other statements the report published in yesterday's , which, he said, was correct in every particular. He pointed out on art the course of both vessels and their position at the time of the collision. The command- ers of Southern bound steamers and vessels will do well to note the position of the sunken vessel, which lies on the regular soutuern track, latitude 39 deg. 35 min. north, longitude 74 deg. west, with her spare out of water. ‘Lhe rescued seamen, who lost everything save the clothing they wore at the moment of the collision, called on the British Consul in this city yesterday and asked to be forwarded to their homes as i wrecked seamen. ‘hey signed the following davit:— ‘ The park felon left Cardiff, Wales, Mareh 14, with coal H B She there took on 363 hi s, 40 nu 137 bugs of sugar, and set sail for 4 eight o'clock on Satarday evening Absecom Light , ightedjabout eleven miles south-southwest.

THREE OREIGN VESSELS WRECKED ON THE COAST OF MEXICO DURING A TERRIBLE STORM—THE CREWS RESCUED AND BROUGHT To THIS CITY. The steamer City of Vera Cruz arrived from Havana yesterday having on board three ship- wrecked crews and their captains, The three ves- sels to which they belonged were foreign cratt and all were lost in the same storm and at the same place. One of the vesseis was the bark Vikingen, from Drammen, Norway, commanded by Captain A. Arnesen. The vessel had a crew of fourteen, including two mates. She was owned by H. Kjosbernd & Sons, of Drammen. On the 3d of sune, at noon, while off the coast of Tratasco, Mexico, near St. Anna, a small village, a storm arose. ‘The bark was driven on the beach, and struck with @ feartul crash. ‘i'hen she was rocked and tossed about while the crew desperately struggled to save her, Finally she was hauled oif short distance, but almost immediately began to sink. Then a small American boat was sent from shore, manned by vil- lagers from St. Anna, and ail hands were saved, The vessel, though, was again driven in shore and smashed into a thousand pieces, while its cargo of mahogany floated out to sea. ‘Another vessel lost was the schooner Malvina Schutt, from Bremen, commanded by Captain ©. J. Kroger, She was owned by J. H. Foss, Stralsund, Germany, On the 20th of March she leit Bremen, and was passing the coast of Mexico on June 30, at uine o'clock P.
