To the Eui tor of the Ohio State Journal : THE CURRENCY QUESTION. The near approach of the day fixed by Congress for adjournment, finds that body with rather more than the usual amount of unfinished work on hand at this period of the session. Several of the appropriation bills are incomplete and are in the hands of conference committees. A second conference committee has the currency question under consideration. The re-sumptionistB are struggling for an inflation measure that will contract the currency, and the inflationists are lighting for a contraction scheme that will inflate it, and all are in a fog. As I sat in the House gallery last Saturday, listening to the proceedings which resulted in the defeat of the first compromise, I could but envy the intelligent citizens of color who surrounded me as they sweetly reposed and dreamed away the weary hours. They formed a peaceful though dark feature of the scene. As the ayes and noes dropped from the lips of perspiring members, some of whom evidently faltered in their affirmatives, while others defiantly emphasized their negatives, I could hut admire the coolness and unconcern of Kasson, who, in pantomime, shampooed the bald head of his next neighbor, from Illinois. The result of the vote was an evident surprise on all sides. The member from Minnesota (Dunnell), who, when the salary grab passed, telegraphed his agent to "begin hauling sand fur the new house," boldly vo'ed for further inflation. Nothing mean about him. He don't expect to return to Congressj I understand. MONUMENTAL ELEPHANT. A pretty strong effort has been made to secure an appropriation for the unfinished Washington monument, but so far without success. The volunteer patriotism nf the country raised the shaft about a hundred and seventy feet, where it stopped. An engineer officer who recently examined it carefully, reports that the ground will not sustain so great a weight aa would be required by the original design, and he recommends that the shaft be carried up to the height of four hundred feet. This will not be quite so high as the pyramid of Cheops, or St. Peter's at Some, or some other structures ancient and modern, but will be quite -lofty enough for all practical and patriotic purposes. The monument has cost so far about $240,000, including commissions, salaries, etc., and it is estimated that x about $300,000 more will finish it. In its present condition it is a standing disgrace, and some means ought, for the credit of the nation, to be devised for its completion. In its present shape it looks worse than the stuccoed abominations called cenotaph erected in the Congressional Cemetery to perpetuate the memory of deceased Senators and members of Congress, It is at present in charge of an Hibernian; who is paid a salary to watch it, and be surly to visitors. 1 don't think anybody, even in Washington, wonld. attempt to steal it, and the visitor to it can get as much, even more, information from the stones than he can from the custodian. Max. The decision of Judge Woodruff, in New York, on Tuesday, in favor of the brokers and bankers who claimed a return nf internal reveutie taxes, is said to involve so large a sum as $30,000,000, which, if the decision stands, must be returned by the United States Treasury. General John C Breckenridqe and family will spend the summer in New York. The workmen ire making rapid progress in arching the Hoosac Tunnel. Pennsylvania expended $9,000,000 for school purposes last year. BY TELEGRAPH TO THE OHIO SIATE JOURNAL Night Dispatches. XLIII Congress First Session. Washington, June 19. SENATE. - Several Senators endeavored to have bills on the calendar called up for passage, but Mr. Edmunds objected, and the morn ing hour business proceeded. Mr. Anthony, from the committee on Printing, called up the House resolution to print Zo.UOU copies ot frotessor Hay den's report on Cretaceous Flora of the West. Massed. Mr. Clayton, from the Senate commit tee on Levees, reported a resolution au thorizing that committee to sit during the recess of Congress for the purpose of nvestigating as to the condition ot the levees of the Mississippi river and the propriety of the Government of the Unit d states assuming control of the same. Laid over. Mr. Boreman moved to reconsider the vote by which the bill to provide a Gov ernment for the District of Columbia was passed yesterday. He said he made that motion in order to understand a provis ion of the bill, which he thought a very important one. He had not read the bill when it was up for consideration yester day, and therefore had not noticed the provision, lie referred to the clause in the fourth section of the bill, which pro posed to levy a tax of 4. per cent, on all real estate in said District, except that belonging to the United States, and that used for educational and charitable purposes. If he understood that provision correctly it was to inaugurate a system of taxation here upon property never before taxed that was the property of all churches. Had he noticed it previous to consideration of the bill he would have moved to strike it out then. Mr. Allison said it was the intention of the committee to have a tax levied on all real estate except that belonging to the united estate-, tuat used lor educational purposes, and that belonging to charitable institutions.. Congress some time ago had passed an act exempting church property from taxation, which should never have been passed. The church property in this District amounted to about onefifteenth of all real estate, and the improvement made around such prop erty was at the expense of other property on the street. The Council of the local Legislature here had recommended taxation as well as the House of Delegates. The bill provided that the tax should be a temporary one only for the year 1875, and the committee was of opinion that real estate here should be subject to tax to neip mt tins District Irom its embar rassment. After debate, Mr. Thurman moved to lay the motion to reconsider on the table. Agreed to without division. Mr. bherman called up the bill authorizing transfer of gold mint bars from the Bullion fund of the Assay office of New York to the Assistant Treasurer at New York, which had been amended by the House, and moved to further amend by inserting the words, "and not less than market value," so as to provide that they may be applied to redemption of coin certificates, or in exchange for gold coins at not less than par, and not less than market value, and it was agreed to, and the bill passed. Mr. Patterson, from the committee on Territories, reported favorably on the bill to organize the Territory of Oklohoma, and for the better protection of Indian tribes therein. Placed on the calendar. Mr. Sprague, from the committee on Public Lands, reported adversely oh the bill to provide a revenue from the sale of public lands, and the committee was dis charged from its further consideration. Mr. bprague, from the committee on Public Lands, reported favorably on the bill providing for appointment of a commission to ascertain the right of subjects of Great Britain to land in the territory which was the subject of award by the Emperor of Germany, under treaties of 1846 and 1871 between the United States and Great Britain. Placed on the calen dar. This bill relates to the San Juan and other lands. Mr. Wright, from conference commit tee, called up the report made yesterday and asked that it be disposed of. He said he had no disposition to discuss it, and hoped a vote would be taken immediately.Mr. Flanagan opposed the report. Mr. Edmunds said that so far as there- port related to the redistribution of bank circulation he was entirely satisfied with it, but he objected to the clause abolishing reserves which banks are now obliged to keep. Mr. Sherman said that the last three sections of the report were precisely similar to the bill reported early in the session by the committee on Finance for redistribution of the currency, except as to amount. He hoped the report would be agreed to. Mr. Thurman said' he would vote for the report because he believed it was the best which could be obtained this session. There was little or no evil in it, and it might be productive of some good. Mr. Morton said the benefit of abolishing reserves would be to set free over thirty million dollars, which, at certain seasons of the year, to move crops, etc., would be a gaeat relief. Mr. Morrill of Vermont opposed the report, because it contained no feature looking to a return to specie payment. Mr. Edmunds spoke at some length against the report. After further discussion, at four o'clock a vote was taken, and the report of the conference committee agreed to yeas 43, nays 19. Mr. Stevenson, from the committee on Appropriations, reported favorably on House bill to provide for the protection of the United States Custom House at Louisville. Placed on the calendar. Unfinished business being the Biver and Harbor Appropriation bill, it was taken up snd the amendment of the committee providing that $15,000 of the$200,-000 appropriated by the House for continuing improvement of the Mississippi river between the mouths of the Ohio and Illinois rivers shall be expended between the mouths of Missouri and Illinois rivers, was agreed to. The committee reported to reduce the appropriation for examination and surveys of rivers and harbors, for which there is no special appropriation, from $75,000 to $25,000. Pending discussion the Senate went into Executive session. The doors were reopened and the Senate took a recess till 7:30 p. m. The Senate reassembled at 7:30 and immediately went into Executive session. The nomination of General McCook to be Governor of Colorado Territory, which occupied all of the Executive session previous to tbe new, was again taken up and discussed. HOFNE. After the transaction of a lane amount of routine business, such as reference of bills, etc, Mr, McDougal moved to suspend the rules and pas tbe bill directing the Secretary of the Treasury to report on the necessity of a public building at Auburn, New York. Agreed to 151 to 61. Mr. Poland withdrew his proposition made yesterday, to go to the Speaker's table and dispose ot business thereon. Mr. Whitely moved to suspend the rules and pass the bill fixing at $250,000 tne limit ot expenditure tor public build inga at Atlanta, Georgia. Mr. E. H. Roberts said that proposition was totally unlike that just passed aa to Auburn. Mr. Speer remarked that the difference was, one was in Ueorgia and the other in new ionc. Mr. Garfield moved adjournment, sav ing he believed it his duty to do all he oould to prevent further appropriations ior puono nniicungs. The Speaker remarked that the same majority vote which would adjourn the House could refuse to second the motion to suspend the rules and thereby prevent such propositions getting through the House. - Mr. Garfield withdrew his motion. Mr. Whitelv's motion to suspend the rules and pass tbe bill, was agreed to yeas 158, nays 58. Mr. Hooper moved to suspend the rules and pass a joint resolution appropriating $400 for the purchase and restoration to the family of the Marquis de Lafayette of a watch presented by General Washington to Lafayette, such purchase and presentation to be made under direction of the Speaker of the House. The Speaker suggested that the Secretary of State would be a more appropriate medium. The suggestion was generally assented to, and the resolution was modified accordingly. . Mr. Hooper had read a newspaper par agraph relating to the history and giving a description of the watch, which is now owned by a Mr. Ward, of Texas, who bought it at a pawnbroker's shop in Lou isville some years ago. The watch itself was in the hands of Mr. .Hooper, and was inspected with great interest by members.Mr. Maynard of Tennessee mentioned that the watch had been lost by General Lalayette at riaslmlle on his last visit to America, and expressed the opinion that if the matter were brought to the attention ot the lennessee Legislature that body would gladly ninke the.rcstora-tion.Mr. Garfield said the only question in the matter was as to the genuineness of the watch. If it was genuine, which had been BOinewhat doubted by experts, the resolution should pass as a matter of course. The joint resolution was then .passed. Mr. Maynard moved to suspend the rules and pasB Senate bill for relief of the East Tennessee University. Agreed to. Mr. Milliken moved to suspend the rules and pass the bill for protection of the Custom House at Louisville by purchase of an additional piece of ground adjoining it, not to cost over $12,500. Agreed-to. Mr. Starkweather moved to proceed to business on the Speaker's table and dispose thereof under the twothirds rule. Mr. Starkweather's motion was adopted without discussion, and the House proceeded under the twothirds rule to dispose of business on the Speaker's table. After disposing of various Executive communications on the Speaker's table business was interrupted, and Mr. Tyner, from the Appropriation committee, re ported back Senate amendments to the Postottice Appropriation bill. The amendment restricting letter carriers to towns of 30,000, instead of 20,000, inhab Hants was concurred in. The amendment prohibiting advertisements in Wash ington papers for post routes, except those in Virginia and Maryland, was concurred in, The amendment to strike out the proviso for free transmission of Ag ricultural reports was non-concurred in. the amendment prohibiting publication of revised statutes in newspapers, at Government expense, was concurred in. The amendment fixing rates of newspaper postage at four cents a pound, and on single papers at one cent each and requiring prepayment, was discussed at length. E. II. Roberts moved to amend the amendment by making postage on daily and weekly newspapers one cent a pound, and on magazines two cents a pound. The greater amount of business of the dailies and weeklies placed them within the range of the wholesale business, and therefore the postage should be less. He informed the House that the newspapers wanted no sympathy, but only justice. He was confident that the House was not going to legislate against newspapers out of spite. Great as some public men might he, long as might be their public life, their career was short as compared with the life of a great newspa per. There was none so great he could afford to sneer at it. If the House chose to legislate from spite, newspapers would be carried outside of the mails, Mr. G. F. Hoar criticised Mr. Roberts's intimation that the House was actuated in its legislation by opposition rather than by a desire to do what is right and for tiie public interest. Finally Mr. Roberts's amendment was rejected, and ihe Senate amendment was modified so as to read that on all newspapers and periodical publications mailed from a known office of publication or news agency, and addressed to regular subscribers or news agents, postage shall be chaged at the following rates: On newspapers and periodical publications issued weekly and more frequently than once a week, one and a half cents for each pound or fraction thereof, and on those published less frequently, three cents a pound; provided that the rate of postage on newspapers or periodicals not exceeding two ounces in weight, and circulars when the same are deposited in a letter carriers' office for delivery by the office or its carriers Bhall be uniform at one cent each, but periodicals weighing more than two ounces shall be subject to a postage of two cents each, and these rates shall be prepaid by stamp. The amendment allowing single copies of newspapers to go through the malls free within the county was concurred in. The amendment allowing four pound packages of the third class to be transmitted by mail was, after considerable discussion, concurred in. The amendment requiring the oath of publishers was concurred in, with some modifications. Tbe amendment making the change of newspaper postage to commence on the first of January next, was concurred in. The amendment fixing the salary of the New York Postmaster at $8000, and dividing all other postmasters into four classes, with salaries of not more than $4000 nor less than $3000, less than $3000 but not less than $2000, less than $2U00 but not less- than $1000, and those of less than $1000, was discussed, the recommendation of the committee on Appropriations being that the House non-concur. Mr. Lawrence opposed the Senate amendment, arguing that the compensation of postmasters in smaller cities and towns was now too high, and warning the House that the political upheaval sometime called the Grange movement would overtake members. Mr. Msynard nf Tennessee scoffed at the theory of making the Postoffice Department self-sustaining, and declared that be was in favor of postal facilities rather than of making the Postottice Department self-sustaining. COLUMBUS, SATURDAY, JUNE 20, AH the remaining Senate amendments were non-concurred in except the last. which exempts public doouments from prepayment and limits postage to twenty-five cents a volume. ' Mr. Burchard moved to amend by strik ing out the first part of the amendment, which relieves pnblio documents from prepayment, and the last part, which limits the twentyfive cent postage to docu ments already printed. Mr. Uarueld called attention to the proviso that the Congressional Record, or any part thereof, shall go through the mails free of postage. He thought there was a little bit of moral bribery under that. A member could have his speech unaer tue Heading "Appendix to the (Jon. gressional Record," and could have it sent through the mails free. If that was not a species of moral bribery he did not Know what was. Mr. Mills moved to amend the Senate amendment by reducing the limit of post age on public documents from twentyfive to ten cents per volume. Carried yeas ii nays iiz. ihe question then recurred on the di vision of Jjurchards motion, which was to strike out the first part of the Sen ate amendment exempting public docu ments from prepayment. The motion was rejected. The next division of Burchard's motion, which was to strike out that part of the Senate amendment which limits its provision only to documents already published or ordered, was agreed to. The last division of Burchard 's motion, which was to strike out the proviso that the Congressional Record, or any part thereof, shall be carried through mails Jrec of postage, was agreed to 107 to 63. The Senate amendment, with all these modifications, was then voted on and was non concurred in yeas 113, nays 118. The bill now goes to conference committee. The House took a recess unlil 7:80. EVENING session. Mr. Butler of Massachusetts was com plimented this evening with the largest audience that has been seen in tbe House this session. A large portion of the mem beta were in their seats. The Speaker mni8ett was in tbe chair, the galleries on all four sides of the Hull were crowded with spectators, and correspondents of-newspapers filled the reporters' gallery. Mr. Butler spoke at length in defense of the moiety system. FOREIGN. . FRANCE. MUNICIPAL ORGANIZATION BILL DEFEATED Paris, June 19. In the Assembly today, an amendment to the Municipal Organization bill was adopted, which completes the defeat of the measure. ' The amendment, in effect, maintains the existing, system of municipal elections, striking out the clauses which provide for minority representation by cumulative voting. It was adopted by a vote of 579 to 24, which caused great surprise. The withdrawal of the bill was announced. ' Weather Probabilities. Washington, June 19.

Audubon, died in Kelleyville, Ky., yesterday morning, aged 88. 8he was a lady of unusal attainments and the con stant companion of her husband in his labors and travels, visiting the principal Courts of Europe in his company.

Enchanted l ark tn Colorado. Denver Mirror.J It is a beautiful valley about a mile in length, walled in on either side bv neroen dicular - walls from 200 to 300 feet in height. Ihere is but ono entrance to this enchanted spot, and that is bv a vervrnu. gea ana aangerous patnway, and the foot man experiences great difficulty in the descent. Upon reaching the valley we could hear the rustlings of the winds through the lofty pines on the cliffs above us, sounding like the roar of some devas tating hurricane, while the grass beneath our leet lay as calm and still as death Not even the slightest breath of air could be felt. Jiverytlung was so still that person standing at the lower part of the vaney couia distinctly comprehend per sons speaking at the upper end. A New Use for Wilier. A church at Newark recently tried with success, a new water motive in the place of manual labor at the organ. The plan is very simple, a wheel of sheet metal being placed in the lower part of the building immediately under the organ which is driven by a stream of water no larger than a lead pencil, but which furnishes all the air necessary for the orgln bellows with a pressure of forty pounds. It is said by the inventor of the motor that it will, in addition, supply the church constantly with fresh air, by having a blower attached to force air through the hot-air pipes Jrotu the furnace. He claims that fn this way it will supply iuuu ieet oi iresn air per minute.

To the Eui tor of the Ohio State Journal : THE CURRENCY QUESTION. The near approach of the day fixed by Congress for adjournment, finds that body with rather more than the usual amount of unfinished work on hand at this period of the session. Several of the appropriation bills are incomplete and are in the hands of conference committees. A second conference committee has the currency question under consideration. The re-sumptionistB are struggling for an inflation measure that will contract the currency, and the inflationists are lighting for a contraction scheme that will inflate it, and all are in a fog. As I sat in the House gallery last Saturday, listening to the proceedings which resulted in the defeat of the first compromise, I could but envy the intelligent citizens of color who surrounded me as they sweetly reposed and dreamed away the weary hours. They formed a peaceful though dark feature of the scene. As the ayes and noes dropped from the lips of perspiring members, some of whom evidently faltered in their affirmatives, while others defiantly emphasized their negatives, I could hut admire the coolness and unconcern of Kasson, who, in pantomime, shampooed the bald head of his next neighbor, from Illinois. The result of the vote was an evident surprise on all sides. The member from Minnesota (Dunnell), who, when the salary grab passed, telegraphed his agent to "begin hauling sand fur the new house," boldly vo'ed for further inflation. Nothing mean about him. He don't expect to return to Congressj I understand. MONUMENTAL ELEPHANT. A pretty strong effort has been made to secure an appropriation for the unfinished Washington monument, but so far without success. The volunteer patriotism nf the country raised the shaft about a hundred and seventy feet, where it stopped. An engineer officer who recently examined it carefully, reports that the ground will not sustain so great a weight aa would be required by the original design, and he recommends that the shaft be carried up to the height of four hundred feet. This will not be quite so high as the pyramid of Cheops, or St. Peter's at Some, or some other structures ancient and modern, but will be quite -lofty enough for all practical and patriotic purposes. The monument has cost so far about $240,000, including commissions, salaries, etc., and it is estimated that x about $300,000 more will finish it. In its present condition it is a standing disgrace, and some means ought, for the credit of the nation, to be devised for its completion. In its present shape it looks worse than the stuccoed abominations called cenotaph erected in the Congressional Cemetery to perpetuate the memory of deceased Senators and members of Congress, It is at present in charge of an Hibernian; who is paid a salary to watch it, and be surly to visitors. 1 don't think anybody, even in Washington, wonld. attempt to steal it, and the visitor to it can get as much, even more, information from the stones than he can from the custodian. Max. The decision of Judge Woodruff, in New York, on Tuesday, in favor of the brokers and bankers who claimed a return nf internal reveutie taxes, is said to involve so large a sum as $30,000,000, which, if the decision stands, must be returned by the United States Treasury. General John C Breckenridqe and family will spend the summer in New York. The workmen ire making rapid progress in arching the Hoosac Tunnel. Pennsylvania expended $9,000,000 for school purposes last year. BY TELEGRAPH TO THE OHIO SIATE JOURNAL Night Dispatches. XLIII Congress First Session. Washington, June 19. SENATE. - Several Senators endeavored to have bills on the calendar called up for passage, but Mr. Edmunds objected, and the morn ing hour business proceeded. Mr. Anthony, from the committee on Printing, called up the House resolution to print Zo.UOU copies ot frotessor Hay den's report on Cretaceous Flora of the West. Massed. Mr. Clayton, from the Senate commit tee on Levees, reported a resolution au thorizing that committee to sit during the recess of Congress for the purpose of nvestigating as to the condition ot the levees of the Mississippi river and the propriety of the Government of the Unit d states assuming control of the same. Laid over. Mr. Boreman moved to reconsider the vote by which the bill to provide a Gov ernment for the District of Columbia was passed yesterday. He said he made that motion in order to understand a provis ion of the bill, which he thought a very important one. He had not read the bill when it was up for consideration yester day, and therefore had not noticed the provision, lie referred to the clause in the fourth section of the bill, which pro posed to levy a tax of 4. per cent, on all real estate in said District, except that belonging to the United States, and that used for educational and charitable purposes. If he understood that provision correctly it was to inaugurate a system of taxation here upon property never before taxed that was the property of all churches. Had he noticed it previous to consideration of the bill he would have moved to strike it out then. Mr. Allison said it was the intention of the committee to have a tax levied on all real estate except that belonging to the united estate-, tuat used lor educational purposes, and that belonging to charitable institutions.. Congress some time ago had passed an act exempting church property from taxation, which should never have been passed. The church property in this District amounted to about onefifteenth of all real estate, and the improvement made around such prop erty was at the expense of other property on the street. The Council of the local Legislature here had recommended taxation as well as the House of Delegates. The bill provided that the tax should be a temporary one only for the year 1875, and the committee was of opinion that real estate here should be subject to tax to neip mt tins District Irom its embar rassment. After debate, Mr. Thurman moved to lay the motion to reconsider on the table. Agreed to without division. Mr. bherman called up the bill authorizing transfer of gold mint bars from the Bullion fund of the Assay office of New York to the Assistant Treasurer at New York, which had been amended by the House, and moved to further amend by inserting the words, "and not less than market value," so as to provide that they may be applied to redemption of coin certificates, or in exchange for gold coins at not less than par, and not less than market value, and it was agreed to, and the bill passed. Mr. Patterson, from the committee on Territories, reported favorably on the bill to organize the Territory of Oklohoma, and for the better protection of Indian tribes therein. Placed on the calendar. Mr. Sprague, from the committee on Public Lands, reported adversely oh the bill to provide a revenue from the sale of public lands, and the committee was dis charged from its further consideration. Mr. bprague, from the committee on Public Lands, reported favorably on the bill providing for appointment of a commission to ascertain the right of subjects of Great Britain to land in the territory which was the subject of award by the Emperor of Germany, under treaties of 1846 and 1871 between the United States and Great Britain. Placed on the calen dar. This bill relates to the San Juan and other lands. Mr. Wright, from conference commit tee, called up the report made yesterday and asked that it be disposed of. He said he had no disposition to discuss it, and hoped a vote would be taken immediately.Mr. Flanagan opposed the report. Mr. Edmunds said that so far as there- port related to the redistribution of bank circulation he was entirely satisfied with it, but he objected to the clause abolishing reserves which banks are now obliged to keep. Mr. Sherman said that the last three sections of the report were precisely similar to the bill reported early in the session by the committee on Finance for redistribution of the currency, except as to amount. He hoped the report would be agreed to. Mr. Thurman said' he would vote for the report because he believed it was the best which could be obtained this session. There was little or no evil in it, and it might be productive of some good. Mr. Morton said the benefit of abolishing reserves would be to set free over thirty million dollars, which, at certain seasons of the year, to move crops, etc., would be a gaeat relief. Mr. Morrill of Vermont opposed the report, because it contained no feature looking to a return to specie payment. Mr. Edmunds spoke at some length against the report. After further discussion, at four o'clock a vote was taken, and the report of the conference committee agreed to yeas 43, nays 19. Mr. Stevenson, from the committee on Appropriations, reported favorably on House bill to provide for the protection of the United States Custom House at Louisville. Placed on the calendar. Unfinished business being the Biver and Harbor Appropriation bill, it was taken up snd the amendment of the committee providing that $15,000 of the$200,-000 appropriated by the House for continuing improvement of the Mississippi river between the mouths of the Ohio and Illinois rivers shall be expended between the mouths of Missouri and Illinois rivers, was agreed to. The committee reported to reduce the appropriation for examination and surveys of rivers and harbors, for which there is no special appropriation, from $75,000 to $25,000. Pending discussion the Senate went into Executive session. The doors were reopened and the Senate took a recess till 7:30 p. m. The Senate reassembled at 7:30 and immediately went into Executive session. The nomination of General McCook to be Governor of Colorado Territory, which occupied all of the Executive session previous to tbe new, was again taken up and discussed. HOFNE. After the transaction of a lane amount of routine business, such as reference of bills, etc, Mr, McDougal moved to suspend the rules and pas tbe bill directing the Secretary of the Treasury to report on the necessity of a public building at Auburn, New York. Agreed to 151 to 61. Mr. Poland withdrew his proposition made yesterday, to go to the Speaker's table and dispose ot business thereon. Mr. Whitely moved to suspend the rules and pass the bill fixing at $250,000 tne limit ot expenditure tor public build inga at Atlanta, Georgia. Mr. E. H. Roberts said that proposition was totally unlike that just passed aa to Auburn. Mr. Speer remarked that the difference was, one was in Ueorgia and the other in new ionc. Mr. Garfield moved adjournment, sav ing he believed it his duty to do all he oould to prevent further appropriations ior puono nniicungs. The Speaker remarked that the same majority vote which would adjourn the House could refuse to second the motion to suspend the rules and thereby prevent such propositions getting through the House. - Mr. Garfield withdrew his motion. Mr. Whitelv's motion to suspend the rules and pass tbe bill, was agreed to yeas 158, nays 58. Mr. Hooper moved to suspend the rules and pass a joint resolution appropriating $400 for the purchase and restoration to the family of the Marquis de Lafayette of a watch presented by General Washington to Lafayette, such purchase and presentation to be made under direction of the Speaker of the House. The Speaker suggested that the Secretary of State would be a more appropriate medium. The suggestion was generally assented to, and the resolution was modified accordingly. . Mr. Hooper had read a newspaper par agraph relating to the history and giving a description of the watch, which is now owned by a Mr. Ward, of Texas, who bought it at a pawnbroker's shop in Lou isville some years ago. The watch itself was in the hands of Mr. .Hooper, and was inspected with great interest by members.Mr. Maynard of Tennessee mentioned that the watch had been lost by General Lalayette at riaslmlle on his last visit to America, and expressed the opinion that if the matter were brought to the attention ot the lennessee Legislature that body would gladly ninke the.rcstora-tion.Mr. Garfield said the only question in the matter was as to the genuineness of the watch. If it was genuine, which had been BOinewhat doubted by experts, the resolution should pass as a matter of course. The joint resolution was then .passed. Mr. Maynard moved to suspend the rules and pasB Senate bill for relief of the East Tennessee University. Agreed to. Mr. Milliken moved to suspend the rules and pass the bill for protection of the Custom House at Louisville by purchase of an additional piece of ground adjoining it, not to cost over $12,500. Agreed-to. Mr. Starkweather moved to proceed to business on the Speaker's table and dispose thereof under the twothirds rule. Mr. Starkweather's motion was adopted without discussion, and the House proceeded under the twothirds rule to dispose of business on the Speaker's table. After disposing of various Executive communications on the Speaker's table business was interrupted, and Mr. Tyner, from the Appropriation committee, re ported back Senate amendments to the Postottice Appropriation bill. The amendment restricting letter carriers to towns of 30,000, instead of 20,000, inhab Hants was concurred in. The amendment prohibiting advertisements in Wash ington papers for post routes, except those in Virginia and Maryland, was concurred in, The amendment to strike out the proviso for free transmission of Ag ricultural reports was non-concurred in. the amendment prohibiting publication of revised statutes in newspapers, at Government expense, was concurred in. The amendment fixing rates of newspaper postage at four cents a pound, and on single papers at one cent each and requiring prepayment, was discussed at length. E. II. Roberts moved to amend the amendment by making postage on daily and weekly newspapers one cent a pound, and on magazines two cents a pound. The greater amount of business of the dailies and weeklies placed them within the range of the wholesale business, and therefore the postage should be less. He informed the House that the newspapers wanted no sympathy, but only justice. He was confident that the House was not going to legislate against newspapers out of spite. Great as some public men might he, long as might be their public life, their career was short as compared with the life of a great newspa per. There was none so great he could afford to sneer at it. If the House chose to legislate from spite, newspapers would be carried outside of the mails, Mr. G. F. Hoar criticised Mr. Roberts's intimation that the House was actuated in its legislation by opposition rather than by a desire to do what is right and for tiie public interest. Finally Mr. Roberts's amendment was rejected, and ihe Senate amendment was modified so as to read that on all newspapers and periodical publications mailed from a known office of publication or news agency, and addressed to regular subscribers or news agents, postage shall be chaged at the following rates: On newspapers and periodical publications issued weekly and more frequently than once a week, one and a half cents for each pound or fraction thereof, and on those published less frequently, three cents a pound; provided that the rate of postage on newspapers or periodicals not exceeding two ounces in weight, and circulars when the same are deposited in a letter carriers' office for delivery by the office or its carriers Bhall be uniform at one cent each, but periodicals weighing more than two ounces shall be subject to a postage of two cents each, and these rates shall be prepaid by stamp. The amendment allowing single copies of newspapers to go through the malls free within the county was concurred in. The amendment allowing four pound packages of the third class to be transmitted by mail was, after considerable discussion, concurred in. The amendment requiring the oath of publishers was concurred in, with some modifications. Tbe amendment making the change of newspaper postage to commence on the first of January next, was concurred in. The amendment fixing the salary of the New York Postmaster at $8000, and dividing all other postmasters into four classes, with salaries of not more than $4000 nor less than $3000, less than $3000 but not less than $2000, less than $2U00 but not less- than $1000, and those of less than $1000, was discussed, the recommendation of the committee on Appropriations being that the House non-concur. Mr. Lawrence opposed the Senate amendment, arguing that the compensation of postmasters in smaller cities and towns was now too high, and warning the House that the political upheaval sometime called the Grange movement would overtake members. Mr. Msynard nf Tennessee scoffed at the theory of making the Postoffice Department self-sustaining, and declared that be was in favor of postal facilities rather than of making the Postottice Department self-sustaining. COLUMBUS, SATURDAY, JUNE 20, AH the remaining Senate amendments were non-concurred in except the last. which exempts public doouments from prepayment and limits postage to twenty-five cents a volume. ' Mr. Burchard moved to amend by strik ing out the first part of the amendment, which relieves pnblio documents from prepayment, and the last part, which limits the twentyfive cent postage to docu ments already printed. Mr. Uarueld called attention to the proviso that the Congressional Record, or any part thereof, shall go through the mails free of postage. He thought there was a little bit of moral bribery under that. A member could have his speech unaer tue Heading "Appendix to the (Jon. gressional Record," and could have it sent through the mails free. If that was not a species of moral bribery he did not Know what was. Mr. Mills moved to amend the Senate amendment by reducing the limit of post age on public documents from twentyfive to ten cents per volume. Carried yeas ii nays iiz. ihe question then recurred on the di vision of Jjurchards motion, which was to strike out the first part of the Sen ate amendment exempting public docu ments from prepayment. The motion was rejected. The next division of Burchard's motion, which was to strike out that part of the Senate amendment which limits its provision only to documents already published or ordered, was agreed to. The last division of Burchard 's motion, which was to strike out the proviso that the Congressional Record, or any part thereof, shall be carried through mails Jrec of postage, was agreed to 107 to 63. The Senate amendment, with all these modifications, was then voted on and was non concurred in yeas 113, nays 118. The bill now goes to conference committee. The House took a recess unlil 7:80. EVENING session. Mr. Butler of Massachusetts was com plimented this evening with the largest audience that has been seen in tbe House this session. A large portion of the mem beta were in their seats. The Speaker mni8ett was in tbe chair, the galleries on all four sides of the Hull were crowded with spectators, and correspondents of-newspapers filled the reporters' gallery. Mr. Butler spoke at length in defense of the moiety system. FOREIGN. . FRANCE. MUNICIPAL ORGANIZATION BILL DEFEATED Paris, June 19. In the Assembly today, an amendment to the Municipal Organization bill was adopted, which completes the defeat of the measure. ' The amendment, in effect, maintains the existing, system of municipal elections, striking out the clauses which provide for minority representation by cumulative voting.

Enchanted l ark tn Colorado. Denver Mirror.J It is a beautiful valley about a mile in length, walled in on either side bv neroen dicular - walls from 200 to 300 feet in height.

A church at Newark recently tried with success, a new water motive in the place of manual labor at the organ. The plan is very simple, a wheel of sheet metal being placed in the lower part of the building immediately under the organ which is driven by a stream of water no larger than a lead pencil, but which furnishes all the air necessary for the orgln bellows with a pressure of forty pounds. It is said by the inventor of the motor that it will, in addition, supply the church constantly with fresh air, by having a blower attached to force air through the hot-air pipes Jrotu the furnace. He claims that fn this way it will supply iuuu ieet oi iresn air per minute.

The money subscribed for a monument somo years since was wisely given to his mother and sister, who were found to bo in actual destitution. Not long siuce a young lady sent Tennyson a daisy growing on Poe's grave, telling him that was all that marked bis resting-place.Slang words are not alwavs slamr. Take the word "jolly."
