( ) , to permit Uni ted States Justice Ward to retire. By Mr. Blair , to pension Mrs. Gnr- fiold. Referred. By Mr. Conger , to provide for n commission on the liquor traflic. Laid on the table until a aeli'ct committee is appointed. At 1:20 : p. rn. , the 3 per cent fund ing bill came up aa unfinished busi ness. Mr. Plumb took the floor on his amendment. Mr. Plumb was followed by Mr. Pugh , advocating further amendment to Mr. Vest's amendment , Mr. Teller in favor of a silver standard , Mr. 'Saundurs in support of the general features of the bill , and Mr. Pondle- tonwho , favored n compulsory amend ment. Without disposing of the bill , the senate at 4 p. m. wont into execu tive session , and soon after adjourned. The senate , in executive session to day , confirmed a number of nomina tions for postmasters. rilOCEKDINOS IN T1IK HOCHE. Mr. Ilutchins , discussing the re port of the committee on rules in creasing the membership of commit tees , criticised the formation of sev eral of the committees and said that ho would favor thu election of com mittees by the house and not permit the speaker to dictate the legislation of the whole country in thu appoint ment of committees. Mr. Kosson said that there was no need for increasing the size of the committees. Small committees ac complish more than largo ones. Ho argued that the election of commit tees would be no reflection on the 'speaker , and would at the aamo time do away with the opportunities the present system oilers for the use of the promise of committee place for support for speaker. ' Mr. Orth offered as a substitute that the house after or ganization at the commencement of each congress shall elect eleven members , whose duty it will be to re port to the.house joint standing coni- .ditieos , tlio latter to bo ooloctod'in the order of length of service in con gress , and the committoeathus consti tuted be permanent committees dur ing such oongroas. In offering the substitute Mr. Orth contended the present system was a one-man power , a power always dangerous , and one which the American people will not accept. He did not make any criti cism upon the committees as appoint ed. His object was for above that. By the plan embodied in his substi tute thu majority will control the committees but the minority will have proper representation. Mr. Heed atrreed with his commit tee in full regarding the enlargement of committees , as ho doubted the pro priety of making the increase sug gestion , but should not antagonize the report. Mr. Kelley WAS opposed to the re port increasing the membership of committees. The larger a committee has grown the loss work has been dono. Ho moved to lay the report of thu committee and the substitute and the amendment on the table. Lost ; yeas , 107 ; nays , 140. Adjourned nt 4:45 p. m. FOREIGN MISSIONS. 3IOWTIIK ENTIRE LIHT WILL HE PILLKO. WASHINGTON , January 17. It is believed Kirkwood is to bo tendered a foreign mission when his successor is appointed. There is nn doubt that the president's intention now i.s to appoint Mr , Sargent of California .secretary of the interior. Mr. 'Kirkwood will bo offered Berliner or Vienna , as it is said upon the -authority of Senator Harrison that John 0. New is to go to St. Peters burg to succeed Colonel Foster. John Baker is to go to Chili to take the place of thu late Kilpatrick , and Pit- Vkin , of Louisiana , is to bo sent to Mexico. U. A. Sheridan is talked , of for the consul general" ship at Montreal. Judge Den ny , who is now at Shanghai , China , is to bo promoted to Pekin , ; and Mosby promoted from Hong Kong to Denny's place. Gen. Bur- bridge a friends are now pushing him for the Belgian mission. There ia talk also of sending Badeau back to London nnd giving Morrittsome other place equally good. It U understood that Cramer , now in Switzerland , maybe bo promoted to tlio Portugese mis sion and Staunton , consul general at St. Petersburg , it ia said , will be eont further south , owing to failing health in that rit'oroua climate. It ia announced that the president has de termined to otlor Chauncey I. Filloy a Aret-clo&s foreign appointment , but his frioBds say that ho will not accept. It is also rumored Arthur may find this a convenient way of disposing of Secretary Hunt when ho makea up hia mind to appoint a now man in the navy department who will piobably be William E. Chandler. It is believed - lioved a change will bo made , at Ha vana , Hall , the consul general there , being rather too advanced in life to 11 the position much longer , It ii believer General Strother will con- tinuo consul general nt the City o Mexico.

The Munford parents had lot opposed the blissful dro.uns of the oung couple , except with the uingio bjecciun that the girl waa too young , 'lie mother of the young maiden had tuted her positive refusal to both of lieu ) , and had endeavored to roaaon ivitli tlium , tolling them to unit yet u ittlo until the girl uua old nough to marry , and then if lieir ulTuctious stood thu teat of elay , she would consent. In spuu f this , however , the youthful couple ome time siiuo concocted a scheme 0 run away and achieve the wish of heir heart.

The court said it uonld t.iko the niattur in cniihidern- tion and Scovillo resumed bin argu ment. Scovillo began by attacking the conduct ot Coi k hill in obtaining by 'also pretotiBi'n statement from the iriuoiirr , and described an scandalous .he medical experts who examined iiiiUuu'a mental condition several aonths after the shooting , and had no noans ( if telling what wa the ulate of us mind on .July 2.

Tim oason for the objection Mas McH- resh'a evidence would tthow thu con- ition of the prisoner's mind at the imo of the shooting. Thu defense wnntod to show insanity by Dr. Me- Airland and the ill-ahapod head by Jlark Mills , Ixit theprosecution object ed. A letter was read iu evidence from Guitenu to Cnrkhill , but was mutilated and if the truth wan known the pos- sugo cut out was favorable to the pris- iner. The proaecution's wituess , teynoldo , ' had endeavored fo entrap he prisoner into statuments injurious , o his cane. The prosecution ulso-ob- ected to the prisoner addroasiug the ury in defense of himself. Scovillo then appealed to the jury f thia was fair treatment in the iater- unt of justice and whether it indicated t desire of the proaecutiun for n fair and impartial trial. Scovillo ssJd ho tad heard enough of this nonsense jbuut "fair play. " The reaaun for he extraordinary conduct of thu iruBL'cutlon was tlutt the prisoner wan IIBIIUO and they knew it , but dhd not vant evidence of it to come befure the ury.

Scovillo resumed : Uuiteau was hon est in his belief that he WUH inspired and he pitied the human belli ) ; who , with thu light of thu nineteenth cen tury of Christianity scowled at inspir ation. Hcovillo said the theological career of Guitean was simply that of a medium. Hu would not have been refused admitaion to an asylum by my one of the exports who had eaiti 10 was sane. Guituau'n political mpirutions were also proof of the un < soundness of his mind.
