WASHDfQToir , December 7 10 p. m. After the journal of Monday had been read and some preliminary busi ness transacted , a number of proposi tions were Introduced by unanimous consent. Mr. Bawley was first recog nized , and offered a bill to confirm the action of the legislature of New York 7 and the committee filing the bounS d'ary line between New York and Connecticut , and asked that day be aaaigned for its consideration. Mr. Wood , chairman Of the and means committee , objected to "that , because he wanted no interfer ence with the pending billthe passage of whiah , he said , was an absolute ne cessity at this session. His remarks impressed the house with the fact that the committee intended to press the pending bill at this session. It was finally agreed that the bill should come np , the understanding being that it would not involve much discussion. A number of resolutions were adopted , authorizing the public print er to send , free of cost , a copy of the congressional record to each of the representatives of the United States , was -allowed. A bill was introduced by Mr. Ward , of Pendsylvania , to authorize the ap pointment of an assistant secretary of war. war.On On motion of Mr. Wood tha pend ing bill was ordered to' be reprinted. Then came up a number of proposi tions , which were introduced by the different members. ; For example , Mr. Gibbons ( La ) wanted * to make a special order of the bill on the im provement of the Mississippi river.

His arrival will stir the appropriations committee to work , nd it is expected that a aumber of appropriation bills will be reported before the usual Christmas recess. The house has got into a wrangle over the question of adopting a joint resolution regarding the counting of the elector * ! vote.

After it ' 'became manifest that the republicans would accede to no terms as to the electoral resolution , Mr. MoLane ap pealed to Mr. Bicknell to withdraw his motion and let tpe republican side take the responsibility of wasting time in delaying the passage of the electoral count resolution. Mr.fiicknell said ho was satisfied that further debate on this question would be a useless waste of time , am in view of the manifestation of the other side , he would withdraw hii demand for the previous question. Mr. Kiefer , of Ohio , wa * then rec ognized , and made an hour's speech in opposition to the joint resolution His argument was that Ihero was no necessity for it , as the constitution , in his opinion , settled the manner ii which the vote should becounted.

To the E lltor of the Bee. DEAU SIB : Will you please give space in your valuable jeurnal to this letter , so that I may be able to ex plain to the public the cowardly treat ment I have been subjected to at the hands of Daniel A. Griffin , the so- called manager of the Academy of Music in your city. 'I came to Omaha under contract to him to play an engagemeet of four nights and one matinee , he to furnish house , combination , .printing , etc. , and give me 25 per cent , of the gross receipts. He falsely represented that I was playing under the ana- pices of the Grand Army of the Re public , and that the seats wore selling at $3 a piece. Such , being the case , would suit me very well to break my jump to San Francieci , and prove quite a remunerative engagement for me. me.I arrived on last Sunday morning , according to contract , for rehearsal , when Mr. Griffin called on mo at the Withnell house , and informed me that the company he had selected to support me were mostly church mem bers , and consequently we would havn to defer the rehearsals until Monday morning. On going to the Academy for rehearsal Monday morning , I there learned that I waa to be sup ported by the amateurs of Omaha , and that their daily duties would not per mit them to be present for rehearsals , thereupon Informed Mr. Griffin that would be impossible to produce the drama , when he volunteered to pay the charges en my horse and traps , and give me forty per cent of the gross receipts instead of twenty-five. After had agreed to give the entertain ment , but to postpone my opening un til Tuesday night , my husband asked how much paper he had put up , and Griffin answered that the town had been well billed. When , on going to our hotel , a gentleman said our paper was still in the express office , and that Griffin had not taken any of it out. When called to account about this , he took the paper ont , and sent it to Mr. Lyon , the bill-poster. Mr. Lyon refused to put it up , stating that Griffin had refused to pay him money due , and that he would hold the pacer until he was paid. The printer in The Hera'd building also claimed that Griffin was in bis debt , and refused print any matter until ho was paid. My husband , Mr. Pettil , explained to the above gentlemen our dilemma , and finally prevailed on them to put the paper out. Teen came my straggle to rehearse the drama with only half the com pany present. God and myself only knows what I endured during my ef fort to acquaint them with the parti they were to play. All present at the attempted rehearsals seemed to fully realize that I had been victimized by Griffin , and were loud in their con demnation of him , and more than willing' to assist mo to the best of their ability , for which I sincerely thank each and every one of my sup port. port.My second contract with Griffin waa a verbal one , 'and , as I have al ready explained , waa as far as I know , settled. But I was compelle < Mo dis miss the auoience from the academy Thursday evening , owing to Griffin having failed to pay his orchestra. Having no music , I could not giro the entertainment. On Friday morningTny husband be gan negotiations with the officers of the Union Pacific railroad to ship our horse and traps to San Franciaco , which was consummated this morning. Leaving my brother in charge of my horse , "Jamea Melville , " to follow ua at sis in the evening , we left at 1 § o'clock. To our great surprise Mr. Stehbins telegraphed my husband that my horse was attached by Mana ger Griffin for 80 , but paid Griffin would take 842 for his claim , and ouch being the case , wo had better ra- turn and protest the matter. I had my baggage taken from the train , in tending to return on the evening freight , but a gentleman friend of our * purauaded us to remain here , and telegraph the contemptible scoundrel the amount named , and proceed on our journey to-morrow , as to go back would delay us , and our contract in San Francisco wnuld amount to nothing phonic ! we fail to be there in time for proper r hearsals. Griffin apent the early portion of last evening in company with my husband and never nnce mentioned hia inten tion to attach my horse , but waited until wo were powerless to do other wise than succumb to his fraudulent olairm How it is that a gentleman like Mr. John I. JRadick can have such a contemptible miscreant in power In a building owned b'y him , Is a perfect enigm * to all who are conversant of the.fact ; and right here let me say thffC were not my affairs so complicat ed I would make an example of this cowardly rascal to so great an extent that it would bo a Ion ? time ere he would undertake to rob another wo man as he has aon § me. God sparing mo my life , on my- way home I will make it q polnt.to stop in maha to cattle ihls matcsr to nly eH'ifo satis faction , but fearing my many warm friends may censure me tor being dis- honeat and tricky , I ask you to pub lish my statement in full , and will deem it forever a lasting favor.
