TELEGRAPHIC, CONGRESSIONAL. EPNATE PROUEEEINGS. Washington, February 28.—Mr. Conkling Bsid that Coster, the ap- pointing pension agent for New York, had on the 2st of February | seni a bond of unexceptionaple character represent'ng $500, made out in the ususual form, but it was objected to on the ground that the justification should be un- incumbered real property. Sucha requirement was never made before and Coster could not conform to it. Toe House bill to authorize con- struction of & bridge across the Mis. sour: river at Glasgow was reported favorable and placed on the canien- lar. Mr. Whyte cubmitted a resolution directing theBecretary of the Navy to transmit to the Senate a copy of ali letters, documents and statements in writing relating to the couduct of the nav;gation officers of the steam. er Huron, other than those contain- ed in the procecdings of the naval court of inquiry. Mr. Beck moved to make hisres- olution 1a relation to the inexped: ency of levying taxes at this time for maiutainiog & sinking fand the special order for Taesday next, after the morning hour. Rejected by n rising vote—yess 27, nays 19 —twce u:lnl;i- not voting in the sffirmative, r. Beck then gave notice that he would m%mu next for-discussion, and hoped to have it voted on then. . . ‘The resolution.of Mr.. Plumb, di- recting the secetary of the interior to inquire of government directors of the Union Pamfic railroad com- peny as to the nature of securities taken and held by that company for aid granted by it to the Colorado Central and other roads, was agreed to, Mr. Paddock introduced a bill to provide for coustruction of a bridge across the Missouri river at Decatur Nebrasza. Reteired, At 3 p. m. a message was re- ceived from the House of Rspre- sentatives announcing that that body hid passed the bill authorizing coinage of a standard silver dollar d to restore its legal tender chare moter notwithstanding the objections of the President thereto. Mr. Conkling calied Mr Allison's attention to the silver bill on the table, aud asked what the mojority intended to do with it. Mr, Allison said is friends were ready to proceed with it. Messrs. Conkling, Hamilion and others favored epeedy disposal of the bill, and on motion the pend ing busineis was tabled—44 to 9 and the chair then presented the silver bill, with objections of tie President: Messrs. Edmunds and Whyte ob- Jected, but objections were overruled and the motion of Mr. Allison to take up thesilver bill was agreed to Mr. Conkling suggested that read- ing of the bill bs dispensed with, but Mr. Surgent Insisted on_it, say- ing he was in the other House of p Congress when the demonetization act was passed as had been charged ‘without reading. The bill and veto | were therefore read. On roll call the bill was then passed over the veto—yeas 45, nays 19. The presid nt pro tem. in an- nouncing the vote, said: Two- thirds of the Senate haviug voted in its favor, the bill 13 passed aud has become s law. Mr. Allison withdrew his motion to reconsider the vote by which the Benate agreed to adjourn over until Monday. HOUSE PROCEEDINGS. Mr. Whitthorne, from the naval committee, reported back the bil requiring detailed appropriation for the navy, the object being to pre- vent the improper use of the Appro- priation. The bill passed. g Mr. Willis, of the ssme commit- tee, reported buck the bill appropri- ating §50,000 for expeuses of estab- lishing & temporary colony and ex- pedition to the Arstic sea, Referred to committee of the whole. The president’s veto messsge was received, which the speaker laid be- fore the house. Mr. Stephens moved the previous question on passage, which was seconded enthusiastically. During discussion Mr. Fort want- ed the message read sgain, but the others objected. Mr. Cox remarked it was a charge of fraud by a fraud, words ‘which Mr. McCook objected to and demanded them to be taken down, but the speaker ruled them out of order, and said they shoul | not go o1 recore. A vote wae then teken. The Isst three votes were cast by Mesers. Bragg, Cook and Kelley, all of whom bad been absent from the House by illness, but csme upin time, by unanimous conseut, to re. cord their votes, which they did in the afiirmaiive. The vote ctood 196 10 73 Mr. Spear announced the vote and said: In obedience to require- ments of the constitution two thirds have voted in the affirmative and the bill has passed, objections of the presiaent to the contrary notwith- standing. ‘The announcement was received ‘with genersl haudshaking aad oth- er marks of jubilstion. The bill and veto message were theceupon sent to the Senate. The House then went into com- mittee of the whole, Mr. Kden-in the chair, and resumed considera- tion of the bill to pension scldiers of the Mexican and Indian wars. After speeches by Messre. Wil- Jinms, of Oregon, Rysn, White au Riddle, the committeo proceeded to_consider the bill by sections. During the speech made by Mr Singleton he rent to the clerk’sdesk and bad resd, a letter ffom Jefler- son Davis requesting him (Single- ton) to inform friends of the bill that if the success of the bill de pended on excluding bim (Davis) from its benefits, he hoped such provision would be inserted in it. Mr. Singloton proceeded to ealo- gize Davis, declaring that this was but another proot of his great mag- panimity, and explained that that gentleman had been in favor of de- laying as long as possible the act of ‘Becession by Mississippi in hopes of reconciliation with the North.

Anderson’s Paraon. Washington, February 28 —There is confidence feit by some members of the Cabmet that Gov.Nicholls will pardon Anderson. A contrary opinion is shared by most Demo- crafs here. The subject of the pos ability of reaching the case through the sction of the supreme court hns received, and is still receiving, close attention. Information from New Orleans isto the cffect that those conducting the defense have, at every stsgs of the trial, and in subsequeut proceedings, call ed attention to and Te- served all points that could make the case one for the United States Courts. Thus far no method of in- terference by the Uuited Htates Courts has been diccovered until it can be carried up to the Supreme Court of the State, snd has been ap- pealed to the Supreme Court of the Unitea Btates. The first step 1n the imquiry has brought out the fact that under the Lou- islana laws there can be no interference by the courfs after sentence and duriog the considera- tion of motions for & new trial, or any similar motion. While these are under cousideration, the sens teuced men must remain in ja'l. So under these laws it will be im- possible to release Anderson, except by pardon from Gov. Nicholls, until the case has been carried up to the Supreme Court of the State. If the appes! is taken 1o the Supreme Court of the United Staes, the prosscu ting lawyers of Louisiang hold that the sentenced man must remam in Jailuntil s finsi decision is reached. Upon this point Iawyers here are not et fully clesr, and it is possible that @ decison may be giyen when reached that & writ of supersedeas { from the SBupreme Court of the Uni- ted States msy discharge 8 prisoner from the Btate suthorities. This sesms to be the only chance for the United Btates authorities being able to help Gen. Anderson. LEGAL NOTICE. Georgs Rogers. p! R. Parry, whose Srek naie Is wknown. defendaat - auther R.

What the present New York Tri- bune_edifice is modeled afterjone may well besitate to say, and 1t'can do no harm not to eay, but the old 32 | Tribune office was not mcdaled by anybody, nor after sny known pat- tern, ancient or modern. 1t grew, Topsy like, from one shape and di- meunsion to another, but 1n whatev- er shape or eize, it was always a free institution. It was up the old steep wooden stalrway 01 the Spruce street side that the great American tragedian, Edwin Forrest, marshal ed his way one afternoon to 'say & piece” to Horace Greeley. A certain critic bad discovered that Forrest was not according to Shakspears's ideal in & portion of his parform- ances. Forrest wanted to know the man who dare toreveal su>h a thing. m print, He supposed tuat Mr. Greeley could be commanded by his imperious tones to make a clean breast of the oftender’s name. Gree. ley stood fage to face with the gruft tragedian, end kept moving toward the doorway, Forrest moving back- ward until be felt bimself in dan- ger of toppling down the steep stair, and emptving out into Spruce s'reet. To be brief, Korrest was afraid ot Greeley, and “ made tracks” down that stair as speedily as if he had traveled the road as often as Greeley. All Gree- ley said in the conversation was: “My name is Greeley, what do you want?” Forrest said all the rest, and did not articulate very well, elther. Willism H Fry, wao wit nessed the performance, asked Me Greeley, in a cynical way, why be did not treat Mr. Forrest like a gen: tleman. Mr. Greeley replied, ‘s that Forrest, the play-actor 2” Fry sa1d, ““Yes, thatis tha great trage dian ” After a few moments’ pause, Greeley said, “Well, I reckon he didn’t scare anything up kere.” Messrs. Greeley, Dana and Fry were sll quartered 1o onelittle room. Tasat roon contained the library; every editor and reporter had acce s toit, There was very little passed w the way of conversation in the Tribune at that time which was not within the hearing of every- body . either of the rooms. The outer room was not much larger than the inner one, but it accom- modated Mr. Ripley, the book re- viewer: Mr. Bnow, the money ed itor; Mr, Otterson, the eity editor; Mr. Clavelend, the exchange editor; Don Henderson, the mau o1 figures, and a hostof reporters I was rather close quarters, and when Greeley entered the office some time during thedsy,he was sure to blurt out some remark such as, “Well, a pretty good paper, this morning,” or prob. ably, ©“Ott (mesning Otterson), what fool wrote that parsgraph in the city column??’ He seemed to think that the only paragraph to which he took exception must be recognized by everybody else, jast as it appeared to him. 1t was after such & question one forenoon that Mr. Otterson addressed his chief, saying, “Greeley, you stumble over very small things. ~ Isuppose if the Tribune was full of small-pox you would never see it.”” It took: half an hour for the reply. Meantime Mr. Greeley had attended business, and the openiug of the day was forgotten Ly every person but himself. But the reply bad to come, and it was this: ©I suppose If I d1d see it, T would know what it was. He! he! he!” GREELEY DECIDING ELECTION BETS 1t was customary for the habitues of Tammauy Hall (the present Sun building), and of the"'Pewter Mug,”” a barroom kept by a politician named Brown, in Frank'ort street, in_making bets upon election re- sults, to stipulate that ¢Horace Greeley should decide.” Mr. Gree- ley might repel an unwary stranger who approached him to speak of any ordinary toic, or If followed up might eay, “See Dana,* “Ask OLt,” “Ripley will tell yon,” “You'd bet- ter see Fry,” anything to shove the inquired out of the way ; but let the visitor approach him with, “Mr. Greeley, what was General Jack- son’s majority P and be was unusually civil—co much so that the visitor might be mistaken for sn old friend whom Mr. Greeley was delighted to welcome. Election figures constituted Mr. Grecley’s tender spot. On this point Mr. Fry, in a littie speech msde during the war at a New England social party at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, said he didn’t think there was any ultimate danger of the country, even if the Confederates did gain a battle or two, for Mr. Greeley had ssserted in his hearing that if anything ever happened to this republic it would because something was wrong in the ““Tribune Almanae,” “and you all know,” addea Mr. Fry, “that is an impossibility.” A STROKE OF RHETORIC. Mr. Gresley was often intercept- ed in the publication office of the Tribune by persons desirous to ob tain his opinion on a variety of eubjects, or pecuniary assistance. It was on one of these occasions, during the long_period of agitation on the Kansas-Nebraska bill, that a genileman called his attention to some offensive remarks made by a Congressman. Mr. Greeley replied “I don’t care, 1 suppose I can stand itas long as hecan. He reminds me of afellow with a bundle of tin pots tied tohis tail.” ‘How is that, Mr. Greeley?” said a bystander “Becauss,” sald Mr. Greeley, “he thinks he can make more noise than anybody else, and he does, in his way. Itkeepshim cheerful, while athers are sowewhat amused.” The general impression that Mr. Greeley’s signature carried power with it kept & continuous train of applicants for official appointments coming and going at the ‘Iribune office. Some wanted o be police men, some to be custom-house offi cers, some to be cierks at Washing- ton, and Mr. Greeley’s name appen- ded to their petition ‘was a source of unfailing comfort. 1t was to such persons that he manifested a streak of candor and honorable caution He would eay to one, “I'll sign my name on your paper, but it wul do no good,” and to another, “You are wasting your time; you had bet- ter look for steady employment,” snd to another, “Yow'll have your experience for your trouble, and that may keep you.” The tact was, Mr, Greeley knew very well that with- out his persoual interposition in be- half of applicants his mere signa- ture amounted to nothmng. Ho was frequently anfortunate his cardidates for poaif on the . | solicitation were of tions, especially, for nlae-tenths of appointments made &t his persons who could hardly keepsober long encugh al to be initiated into the uniform and service. Countrymen yisiting the city on business were bound to call at the Tribune office and see Mr. Greeley, for to have been in New York with- out seeing him, or speaking to him, was to be ignorant and inexperienc- ed indeed. Hence all sorts of pre- texts were made to that end. It was Dnothing unususl for country- men to haunt the editorial rooms, which were open to everybody, to get & mght of the philosopher, and probably a word with him. To see Mr. Greeley come out of his room and put some *copy” into the oX for the COMPpOSINg-FOOM WAS & feast for suchi sight-seekers. Some. times they would hear him howl in wonderful sounds. If he shouted, “Proof!” they would gaze at each other, and if he,in a moment or two more, shouted, “Copy " they would exchange glances again. They had the foundation for singular and interesting deteils for home consumption in the country, and they lsft the Tribune office content— ed and happy. Some of the pertinacious kind would call with an immense cab- bage, or an overgrown turnip, or a box of grapes for his Inspection. “ Where did it grow?” * Did you raise that on yous own land ?” or some other general question, and then Mr. G. would eay, “You'd bet- ter see Solon Robinson— he's the man who attends to the vegetable department;” or 1f he was in & par- ticularly happy bumor ke would zet rid of his visitor by referring him to Mr_D:ns, aud occasionally to “Tom Rook, upstairs,” in the composing room. During the best days of the Tri- bune Mr. Greeley never employed a privatosecretary. Thatwasa lux- ury he never epjoyed uatil he bs- gan to have an unusual amount of work outside of the Tribuce. The office boys used fo copy his letters, and he employed a young man in the proof-room, who wrote & bold, round hand, to copy bis lectures in large characters. When he com- menced the preparation cf his “American Conflict” he had the exclusiye use of a stenographer, who sat with him at the rooms of the American Institute, and occasion- ally at another resort “up town.” The whole work was dictated by Mr. Greeley to the stenographer. GRESLEY'S INTEKCOURSE WITH HIS ASSOCIATES. Mr. Greeley never acted as if he had much respcet for the little cour- tesies which make up the unity of intercourse The writer does not remember ever to have heard him uaite “Mr.” With anybody’s name. In the office he addressed his asso- ciates familiarly as, Dana, Oit (for Otterson), Cleve (for Cleveland), Buow, Pike, Fry, Tom (Rooker), Sam (Wilkeson), Solon (Robinson), Don (Donald Henderson), England, ote ; and to visitors, Taylor (James B.), Coltax_(of 1ndiana), Wilson (of Mass.), Morgan (ex-Governor), ete. The reporters whose names hie was cognizant of were addressed in the same familiar way, and the re- porter was as likely to be acked about some missing link In the edi- torial columns, as Mr. Dana. Not- withstanding this familiarity, Mr. Greeley could hardly be regaided as asociable creature. His tendencies in that direction were mostly devel- oped in the society of individuals who, having axes to grind, clung | close to the editor-in-chief in order to insure the use of the best columns ot the Tribune to their purposes. He appeared (0 regard his editorlal and news gathering @o-warkers as merely 80 many persons under him t build up, and to preserve, and to glorify the Tribune. He could part with the hardest work- ing, most efficient, most earnest, and ablest member of his staff with= out & prug. The respectful approach of a subordimate did not seem to be appreciated by him. He had to be met on_equsl grouud, or he would TELEGRAPHIC.

It was on this ground that the drunken “bummer” from the “Pewter Mg coutd command dollars from Gree- ley, while & paor mechanic or un- fortunate tradesman who has “taken the Tribuue from ite start,” ap- proaching him meekiy, would ut- terly fail in eliciting tue first tender exhibition of sympathy.

Typo—Horace, 1t's a long time since you and I spoke together, and we wouldu’t now, 1 suppose, if T didn’t want a lift. Greeley—Why don’t youreelf? Typo—Horace, that is not sensi. ble.” In fact, you know as well as L do, it's nonsense. Did you ever know anything to lift itseli? Greeley—Well, I shau’t lift you. Typo—Horace, I have & chance to set type over m New Jersey for 20 cents a pound, but I lack the stuff to carry me over there ; now lend or give me & dollar. Greeley— You're going to set type by the pound in New Jersey, are you? Typo —Horace, I am, it T can get over there. Greeley —You know you're lying.

Typo—Horace, you're busy, and sny further argument would' be lost upon you—good night. While this colloquy was in pro- gress, Mr. Greeley attended to his writing just as if nothing was die- turbing him. He would not have tolerated a person who had ap- prosched him in a gentlemanly way, but would have “bluffed” him forthwith. The reader will observe the cunning practiced by the typo. In every reply he opened fire with “Horace ” ‘That was the secret of success in that case.

AUSTRIA. A Vieuna correspondent states that Russisn concessions touching the limits and leng(h of occupation of Bulgariaare quite sufficient with the present tendency of the Aus- trian government to restore confi- dence. Austria is countent for the present, and looks to the conferenve for the rest. - Another correspondent writes that the extension of the principality of Bulgaria to the Ezean sea would practically mean securing of & naval { hypothecate the Egyptian tribute to PUGNACIOUS. The War Fever 8till High in Eng- land, and Austria Preparing. Special Dispatch to the Chicago Times. NOT BATISFACTORY. London, February 28.—The situ- ation yesterdsy was anything but satisfactory. Telegrams from Con- stantinople asserted that there was a delay in signing the terms of peace, ana that the Russiany were availing themselves of the opportu- nity by massing troops st San Ste- fano and on the Transylvania border. The Chicago Times correspondent at Pera telographs that 1t was be- lieved that the terms were expected to be signed on yesterday, but that they were not. He mentioned also the reports as to the ACCUMULATION OF TROOPS near Constantinople, but says it is thought that the Porte has agreed to allow the Kussians to march through the capital a Ia Prussians at Paris. The action of Austria in mobil- izing her troops und proposing a voteof creditis having a most irrtat- 10g effect on Russia. A telegram to the Times bureau from St. Petersburg says the WARLIKE ATTITUDE of Austria snd England will have the effect to render the conference useless, s they seem determined to settle the pending questions by & show of force instead of pacific dis cussion.. He 3ays, also, that tre- mendous pressure is being brought to bear on the Czar to accept the de- fiance of England by at least the temporary occupation of Constanti. nople. The extraordinary character of the Russian terms is still the theme of farious denunciation in London. It is admitted that the cession of Salonice or the amount of indemnity concerns neither AUSTRIA NOR ENGLAND, but the manner of guaranteeing the fndemnity affects English interests Much of this indiguation is based upon hearsay reports of the terms of peace. It 1s not certainly known that Turkey has been required to secure the payment of the indemni- ty. Another cause of alarm is the secrecy which has provailed regard- ing the terms of peace. It 15 quite possible, however, that this has been done, and exaggerated state- mentssent out as feelers 1n order to test the sense of Europe and see how for RUSSIA CAN GO with safety. Itis a matter worthy of note that England is repairing and strengthening her seacoast for tifications. Additional beavy guns are being putn position, and ample supplies of ammunition are being distributed. It is asserted that the question of iron clads is still under discussion, and forms the cause of the delsy in signing the treaty. Many alarming rumors prevail re- specting the Russian ultimatum, the divided counsels of the British cab- inet, and the HOSTILE INTENTIONS OF AUSTRIA. The tone of the morning papers is generally apprehensive and men- acing to Russia, who 18 blamed for thesecrecy of the peace negotiations, ana conseyuently for the alarm and warlike preparations in tnis country and Austria. = = THE CABISET ON SILVER. Washington, Feb. 25.—Secretary Sherman gavethe bill a better cher- acter than any of his colleagues ex- station for Ruesia, just as the grant- ing of Montenegro by the Porte would mean a Russian naval station on the Adnatic. Btill another telegraplis : The po- sition seems EXTREMELY ORITICAL, notwithstanding the tranquilizing utterances of the ministerial papers. The eonference is regarded in Aus- trian governmental circles as ad- Journed ene die. A Berlin dispateh eays the con- ference has entirely failed. S e S FOREIGN BRIEFS. London, Feoruary 28.—A Paris correspondent says he has been fn- formed, on_reliable authority, that Rusela ' s resolved to fight rather than abate her intentions. Orders have been received at the government works at Bull Point for an mcreased output of cartridges and small-arms and ammunition. A Vienna special states that the Austrian railways have received ordera to prepare for the conveyance of troops, and officers on furlough have been ordered to join their reg- iments. A Berlin dispatch says Germany will be renresented at the conference by the Prussian eecretary of state, Herr Von Bulow, assisted by Coun- cilor of Legation' Busch. Vienns, Kebreary 26.—a large force of Greek insurgents bas land- ed on the Albanian coast and is marching toward Delvino. The in- habitants maintain a neutral atti- tude, and_the Turkish troops are retraating before the ineurgents. Vienna, Feb. 28.—All the offices 10 Bulgaria are being filled with Russians, or Bulgariana educated in Raussia. The formation of sevnty battalions and twelve squadrons of Bu'garian militia has just been or- dered. The officers will be Russians, Gladstone contributes another ar- ticle to the *Nineteenth Century, the principal point of which is that since the government is determined that the question respecting the pas- sage of men-of-war through the Bos- phorus should beleft to the decision of Europe, there does not remain a shadow of = plea for separate war by England, or separate operations m tho Levant tending to war. Bt. Petersburg, February 25.— The question of the straits is to be submitted to s conference, when, it England, s is probable, proposes the preservation of tne status quo, Raussia, 1t 13 stated, will not serious- ly oppose her. It would seem, therefore, as if all avowed British interests are respected, and the danger of a conflict between Russia and England is ended. Buch, how- ever, is not the opinion here. The delegations have left much soreness. 1t is thought that Kngland’s real aim is the bumiliation of Russia. pected, and there was considerable surprise, and he thoyght the bill, if it became 8 law, would aid materially n the resumption of specie pay- ments, and that, while it was not exnotly such legislation 85 he wished, he could make the bill very useful 'in improving the financial condition of the country. He was not in favor of its veto, as a matter of policy, 8 Congrees would nulllfy it, but he waa m favor of it asa matter of prineiple, ss the president could not consistently approve such a bill. e hoped the veto would not preyent its passage, for some alver legislation was inevitable, and this bill was as reasonable & messure as could be expected.

SECRETARY M’CRARY was in favor of the bill ; would have thought it was as good a prece of legielation a3 was cften adopted. He did not Ihink, however, that it would bring the prosperity to the country that its advocates had promised for it. Mr. MeCrary thinks the President ought to veto the bill, because he would be guilty of inconsistency if he didn’t. He hoped, however, that Congress would pass it over the veto. SECRETARY THOMPSON was against & veto, aud develope: the strongest silver sentiment of any only one who declared in favor of the Bland bill, pure and simple. POSTMASTER-GENERAL KEY was nearly as extremein his opinion a3 Thompson, aithough he was not in favor of unlimited coinage. SCHUEZ AND DEVENS were the only members of the Cabi- net who hoped a veto would kill the bill. They were opposed to the re- monetization of silver,and expressed extreme views in favor of a single gold standard. MYSTERIOUS.
