tho work of Senators Allison and Al

statement on this question from tho
Allison managers may bo expected bo
foro long.
It is also being bodly assorted that

ule, and threats of telling how thoy
wero written aro being made. Some
lively developments seem to bo in

excitement over tho Venezuela bound
ary question, passed tho House yester
day, after two hour's debate, with but
one dissenting voto that of Mr. Bou
telle of Maine.
Tho Democrats, except Mr. Cum
mlngs of New York, who spoke, as ho
said, "as one of 800,000 Democrats
who fought in tho Union army," and
Mr. Wilson of South Carolina, who
was drawn into the dobato by Mr.
Routcllc, refrained entirely from par
ticipation. Mr. Hull of Iowa, chair
man of tho military committee, who
had charge of tho bill, admitted it
would subserve no practical pur
pose, and was largely sentimental.
Mr. Doulclle, who led tho opoosltion,
single-hnndcd, thought It would furn
ish a bad object lesson for uavul
and military candidates who were
about entering on careers in tho ser
vice of their country, nnd when ho got
warmed up to his subjoct, called at
tention to the fact that many Southern
men in Congress in tho past had
obstructed legislation in tho interest
of Union soldiers, dwelling particular
ly on tho opposition to tho retirement
of General Grant Mr. Grosvonor of
Ohio and Mr. Grow of Pennsylvania,
however, supported the bill ardently
as a graceful and gracious act to the
vanquished, and when tho voto was
taken Mr. Bou telle alono voted against
its passage.
The bill to abolish tho death penalty
in certain cases was passed Rills
were also passed to make tho salo of
spirituous liquors under a false brand
punishable by fine and imprisonment,
to turn over tho property of the Mor
mon church, now in tho hands of n
receiver, to the trustees, aud several
others of minor importance.
