SENATE- :
Special Diipitch to the Itee.
WASHINGTON , May 15 1 a. m.
Senator Morgan from the select com
mittee on counting the electoral vote
reported adversely on the senate bill
to fix a day for meeting of the elec
tors for president and vice-president ;
to provide for counting of electoral
rotes ; and for a decision of questions
arising therefrom. He also reported
from the zame committee a concurrent
resolution adopting a rule for counting
the vote of electors for president and
vice preiiden. . Placed on the same
calendar.
Senator Eaton presented a memorial
of David Hatch , of Norwalk , Con
necticut , in regard to his arrest and
imprisonment in San Domingo in
1868. The petition is an old subject ,
having ones before come up in 1870.
Discussion followed and pending de
bate the morning hour expired.
Consideration of the JtelloRg-Spof-
ford' resolution was resumed and Sen
ator Pendleton addrested the senate
in opposition t } the resolution. He
said he could neither argue with Car
penter , of Wisconsin , nor Hill , of
Georgia , but found an opposite course.
He believed tue senate had a right to
reverse its decision on a showing of
facts. There is no doubt that the
charges of fraud , in the election of
Louisiana and the illegality of the
Packard legislature , sro true , but , no
facts or evidence as to the truth of the
allegations are known. He didn't
agree that the decision of the state
was final with the senate ; there is no
newly discovered evidence of frauds
known now that could not have been
known then. The evidence is not
material and -what is material Is based
on evidence too unworthy of belief.
srq The mass of perjurer's lies ought to
ifl be cast out of the senate as unworthy
of consideration.
When Senator Pendletcn concluded
his renmks , Senator Cameron , of Wis
consin , took the floor. He said the
nwjority report reopened the case as
far as it is possible for it to be re
opened , for the Kellogg cue wai in
formal. 5
Senator Thurman called up the bill
anthoriz'ng the secretary of war to
pay Colonel Thomai Worthington the
sum of | 96,9GO as balance of what is
due him as tbe pay of a major , when
he was unjustly dismissed from the
army by covtmartial , to his honor
able dischsr/ " " The bill was passed.
Sentor jees called up the bill
to provide .itional accommodations
for the lib , y of congress , and after
ducussio * .he bill -was passed.
At 5-Jj p. m. the senate went into
executun session and then adjourned
till Monday
HOUSE.
The house went into committee of
the whole on the legislative and ju
dicial appropriation bill. When the
committee rose the bill was reported
to the houie , and thn amendment of
fered yesterday relative to the reduc
tion of salaries of atore-kepors and
gaugersvs adopted 102 to 100.
A resolution was reported for tl.e
final adjournment of congress May
31st. Gibson gave notice that he
would call it up for action -when the
pending appropriation bill was dis
posed of.
Mills gave notice thstTrhon the res-
olutipn was called up he would move
to recommit with instructions to * the
oo'mmitte'a of way's and means not to
.report it back-until ii had firat report
ed a bill fprf reo importation of salt
and printing paper.
Mr , Gibson agreed to withdraw his
resolution until after the legislative
"bill was disposed of , and the house
went into committee of the whole on
that bill.
On motion of Mr. Atkins , the ap
propriation bill for the employment
of additional clerks in the' pension
office was increased from $48,000 to
$90,000 , and a proviso was added
that a detailed statement of the expenditure
ponditure of this sum shall bo madi
jto congress. The remaining clauses
of the bill being read through rapidly ,
paised without material amendment.
1 ho committee then rose , and th
bill , AS amended , was reported to th
house.
A separate vota was demanded on
the amendment providing that tht
alariei of store-keepers aad"gangers
at all distilleries that mash less than
60 bushels of grain per day , shall no
exceed § 50 per month white distiller
ies are in operation , and $35 pe :
month when not in operation , and ai
all other distilleries pay shall not ex
cned $50 per month when not in op
eiation. The amendment wa.s adopt
ed yeas 102 , nay 100.
This amendment took somewhat of
a political turn , and gentlemen who
were paired on political questions , de
cline ! to vote on it. All republicans
voted against it , and all democrats In
favor of it , except Aiken , Deuster ,
Evans , Phelps and Tillman. The
bill was then pasied.
The bill having been disposed of , a
dozen gent'emen were on their feet
for recognition , and there was a great
deal of excitement on the floor.
Mr. Gibson proposed to call up the
resolution providing for adjournment
on May 31.
Mr. Bright claimed that as it was
Friday , private business must have
the preference.
Mr. Tucker wanted to go into com
mittee of the whole on the tariff bill.
Mr. Cox opposed tbe resolution at
this time , beciuse he wanted to get up
his immigration bill.
The point was raised whether the
adjournment resolution was a ques
tion of privilege , and the speaker de
cide i that it was. He added , how
ever , that a question of consideration
could be raised against it.
The question was put whether the
house would consider the resolution ,
and it was decided in the affirmative
yeas 136 , nays 75.
Pending discussion , a demand was
made for the the previous question.
Mr. Mills submitted a motion that
the resolution be turned over to the
committee on ways and means , with
instructions to report a bill to this
house ptov.dtng for the free impor
tation of salt and printing paper be
fore reporting the resolution for final
adjournment.
Mr. Garfield made a point that It
was not germane to the subject mat
ter under consideration.
The speaker ruled that It was ger-
maine to legislate in committee when ,
the house may choose to instruct.
_ _ Mr. GarGeld How can talt be ger
mane to the day of an adjournment ?
Mr. Warner To keep up the mo
tion to recommit with instructions.
It was rejected ye is 90 , nays 116.
Mr. Blackburn moved that the
House adjourn unt'l Monday.
Several representatives inquired
whether they intended to n'llibuslar.
Mr. Huntoon aaked Mr. Blackburn
to withdraw his motion in order that
them might be a recess , as the evening
had Been assigned to the considera
tion of business for the District oi
Columbia. ;
Pending that motion , Mr. Cobb
asked leave to report a bill appropri
ating over 89,000,000 for deficiency
in the payment of pensions , but ob
jections were made.
Mr. Huntoon's motion for a recess
was agreed to.
THE ADJOUENMENT.
Mr. Gibson will try to got up an
adjournment resolution again tomorrow
row , but it will be ng. ia resisted.
So no of the advocates of the tariff
revision threaten to fillibuster if they i
can not defeat the resolution in any
other way , in fact , Mr. Blackburn's
motion to-day indicated that purpose.
The resolution of Mr. Gibson can
hardly come up as unfinished busi-
nes , as the previous question was seconded
ended and its opponen's will have
strength enough to prevent the adop
tion of the motion to dispense with
the morning hour , and they will re
sort to all expedients to keep the reso
lution out.

fire broke out yesterday morning , at
11:30 : , in Murray , Domegalt & Co.'a

were fanned by a strong wind , and
leaped from building to building , and
into the very heart of the place. Help
was telegraphed for to all cities within
reach , and several engines responded ,
but could do very little towards sub
duing the flames. Houee liter house

of smouldering embers. Two banks ,
all the churches but one , the news-
piper office , and all bnt three business
houses were destroyed. It wai a ter

mile broad. The flames were not got
under control until dark , and then
only because there was nothing left

not be estimated , for all is excite
ment , but they are expected to amount
to $150,000 or $200,000. A thousand
people or more are homeless. Many
were sent to the neireit towns last
