CO CObt WASHINGTON , May 13 , 1 a. m. btwi Mr. Wallace reported with amend wi ments the bill making an appropria wiwi tion for the postofiice department , and gave notice that ho would call it np to-day. Senator Hill returned his remarks on the Kellogg-SpoSbrd resolution. F He Eald he proposed to read and translate a portion of the cipher tele grams passing between Kellogg at Washington and his friends In New Orleans , for the purpose of showing the senate a portion of the evidence upon which the charge of bribery Is based. The mere reading of these BOnc telegrams , in the light of evidence , nc puts beyond a question the fact that of the sitting member placed his suit in so holding his seat upon military array. et All the evidence of bribery shows that m from the time the senate determined ch to take the case ap , down to June , th 1879 , Kellogg was in constant com at munication with his friends in New atL Orleans for the express purpose of L seeing that members of the legislature Ei did not confess that they had been thhi bribed. The reason for this is plain , hiKi as mnny of the members had begun to Ki confess. That had to be stopped. ca Hill called attention to the fre canc quent declarations on the part of the ncmi Bitting member that his safety in his mi seat depended on the fidelity of these members. Senator Hill then interpreted In Inwe preted the telegrams that passed between we tween Kellogg and his friends , allud an ing to thoie already deciphered by the asmi senators who preceded him. He then mi rehaaned the old democratic story of tic alleged frauds by the returning board , BO h and in closing this part of his speech Of he said : But the association of. the doctrine that you can't go behind the returns Chi succeeded in making a president , and now the same principle is brought to bu bear on the senatorship. If it is true an that a democratic senate is going to tic decide that there was no fraud ia TX > Louisiana , then the members had bet Gi ter go down on their knees to Madi to son Wells , Cassan&ve vfc Co. and con CO fess that they have slandered them. hit Senator Hill said that in this case Hi he was not making a personal fight. hii Ho did not regard the persons in the set case , but he could not come there and Ra take the oath to support the constitu RaTl tion of the United States , and then vote to admit a man who had never been elected by the legislature of his B > state. In the remainder of his speech the LiNi senator spoke of the general features NiVi of the case. He called attention to Vi Vihe Borne parts of the evidence which he he heC hoped the American people would hePi read. In conclusion ho called attention Pi tion to the condition of the southern ty states immediately after the war , and G said that all their troubles came from isze one source the reconstruction acts , ze : which kept the moat intelligent people ple from the management of affairs there. He said that this had been called a 8p quiet session , but since its opening he 8pF h d heard statements made by the F ( other side that shows the progress of tit tne centralization tendency of that titni party. One senator had said that the es demsion of a court-martial could not be disputed. Another said that a court-martial could disfranchise a citi zen. While coming from the door of the other room ( the supreme court ) he th had heard that the United States court so was supreme In a state. It the herald fa f monarchy growing louder ? Have faW ( the people no ears to hear the dyim groans of liberty ? Have they no eyts to see despotism stalking in broad dap- light in the highest places of the ni tron i No , sir ! People do see and hear , and they love liberty , and they will not pei mit a party that has taket possession of and holds power agalnsi the will of the people ever again to come into power. Senator Hampton was recognized , but yielded to the motion to go into executive session. When the doors were opened the senate adjourned. HOUSE. WASHINGTON , May 12 4 p. m.

The pending question was upon the amendment to raise the salaries of the journal and reading clerks to § 3000 per annum each. Adopted. Efforts were made to increase the balance of the clerks and employes , but points of order were made against them , and all such amendments were ruled out , all points of order having been made by members of the appro priation committee. The gentlemen who wanted to have the amendments adopted , moved to strike out items of appropriation for clerks reported by the committee in the bill , but they were unsuccessful in making reduc tions or striking out items. Pending considerat-onof oneamend- rnent Mr. Money said that it had been said that this was a liberal bill. It was liberal in so far as the appropria tion committee had made it liberal for themselves. Mr. Atkins said if that remark was intended to impugn the appropriation ommittee , he hurled it back ai foul t slander. Mr. Bnckner moved ti strike out he clause which gave the clerks of lommittecs on judiciary , claims , pub * ic lands , war claims , invalid pensions , District of Columbia and commerce , $2000 each annual calary , instead of ier diem pay. The chairman of eich of the above iommittees opposed the motion , each irguing that his respective committee lid more work than any other com- uittee in the house and that his clerk hould be better paid tban the others. The amendment was rejected. Mr. Sanford moved an amendment o make the compensation of the 'resident ef the United States $25,000 ; not to apply to the present Incum- tent. but to take effect the 4th of ilurch next. Mr. Atkins said he had once voted A favor of this reduction , and would . o to again , but this bill was not the iroper place to make the amendment. the amendment should be adopted bis bill would bo vetoed. The amend ment was rejected.

A very heavy glut is likely to occur in the Japan tea market in consequence of increased import of about ten mil lion pounds during the present year over that of last year. The crop of Japan teas has been increased every year in consequence of the demand made for them in the United States. During the year 1876-7 , the exports from Japan to the United States were 22,897,280 pounds. Last year these oxpcrtj were increased to 25,302,675 pounds and yesterday advices were re ceived that there will be exported this season 34,555,032 pounds. This in creased exportation , with the stock on hand , is likely to make the quantity of Japanese teas , in this city , about 45,000,000 pounds , which is far more than will be required for'consumption , and has already weakened the market , with a prospect of lower prices. The result will be that the consumer will S stand a chance of having good tea this year at a far lower price than has n been known for some time past. 2 Lexington Races. Special dispatch to Tux Bm.

Republican Leaders at the Cap ital Urge the Overthrow of Both Grant and Elaine. Proceedings of Various State Conventions Party , Harmony. Special Dispatch to The Bee. CHICAGO , May 12 i p. m. The Journal's Washington special says : The political situation in Illinois has been the subject of several confer ences between the republican leaders who are not fully committed to either Grant or Blaine , and the feeling is found to bo almost unanimous that there must bo a stop put to the bitter wranglings which have characterized the canvass during the past month. While no definite con clusion as to public action has been reached , tbo sentiment prevails that the party must for its own safety push both ' Grant and Blaine aside , and take a new man who can unite all factions. The only question is whether Blaine or Grant managers can be brought to realize this condition of affairs , or whether they will persist in running the party to defeat and ruin. The situation is now looked upon as very grave , and the most serious appre hensions for the future are entertained unless prompt measures are taken to stop the contests in the party.
