Mr. Harrison risen called i-p the bill appropriating an additional $100,000 for the reliol of the flooded districts , nnd it was passed with the house amendment. Mr. Logan addressed the senate on his bill to appropriate the entire in ternal revenue receipts from the manufacture of distilled spirits for education , to bo distributed among states and territories , according to population. The amendment reported from the postofGco committee to the postoflico appropriation bill provides for sub sidizing the lines of ocean mail steam ers , the service to bo distributed one- fifth on the Pacific coast , two-fifths north of Philadelphia , and two-fifths south of Philadelphia. Mr. Logan's bill was referred to the committee on education and the sen ate proceeded with consideration of the postoflice appropriation' bill. Senator Plumb , in explaining his amendment increasing the fist mail service appropriation to050,000 , said hitherto the service had worked to the almost exclusive benefit of New York newspapers and persons having communications with that city. The committee , ho said , felt it more in consonance with the interests and wishes of the-people tc add to the ap propriation in orrtur that Chicago , St. Paul , Cincinnati , St. Louis , Now Orleans and Boston might enjoy the benefit of _ those facilities in common with Now York. The amendment was agreed to after debate. Mr. Edmunds offered an amend rnent restoring the franking privilege io senators arid representatives on let ters or packages cent lining only writ- tea or printed matter , weighing . .over two ounces. ( ; Mr. Ferry opposed the amendment on the ground that it would lead to a revival of the abuses which existed under the old franking laws. After a short debate the amend ment was carried yeaa 40 , nays 13. Senators voting in the negative were Messrs. Cockrell , Coke , Concer , Farley , Ferry , Hill ( Oal. ) , McMillan , McPhonon , Maxay , Pendloton , Ran som , Siulsbury and Sherman. The senate went int executive ses sion , and at 5:55 : adjourned. PBOCEEDINOS IN THE HOUSE. At this merning Mr. McLi'no made a point of order that the speaker last night was in . error ruling regarding the controversy 'with Mr. Money ( Miss. ) . The sneaker read a state ment that ho did not intend to repri mand , only the idea was to chock dis order. It he was on the floor of the house he would support the resolu tion. tion.The The resolution was then withdrawn. Taylor , ( Ohio ) , successor to Garfield - field , delivered his first speech in the house , speaking against the Chinese bill. ID was delivered extempor aneously and was listened to with marked interest , members from both sides gathering about and standing during the entire hour of tlio delivery , warmly applauding him and many personally congratulating him at the jjoso. lie opposed the bill because- was unnecessary and dangerous , and only jiutificable. on the ground of self-defense. If they were Voters ho claimed this bill would not meet the support it does. The claim that they ; ono ; into competition with and injure ; he labor of the country was cheap and baseless. They had built railroads wlion no other labor could bo had and reclaimed lands none other > v < juld attempt. It is doubtless true they did not come here desiring to remain , but by coming here and giving a large amount of labor for a email sum of money and going back with the m > ncy and leaving the labor , had they wronged this countrj ? "If there is a right that b sacred , " euid the speaker , "it is that nun may go where he chooses to labor for his bread. You talk of their leprosy and their other forms of diseases and yet you employ them to was'i cloUirs you put upon your body , you employ them in yoir houses. L-t them alone. D.m't em ploy them and you will yourselves shut them out and drive out those who are here. What will it bo ncxtt I sound the alarm to the foreign born population of our country. It is a strike at their privileges. Whore will it end ) Who can tell ) Lot th' < sj who remember the scenes and preju dices of 1851 answer. You are sow. ing the wind and you will reap the whirlwi d , as the ways of God ara unchangeable. " Mr. Blount followed , claiming that the system of slavery under which the Chinese came hero was one of the greatest objections to their coming and that this system U recognized and en couraged by the Chinese government. The debate will bo continued. A resolution was adopted directing the committee on foreign affairs to require quire Shipherd to produce copies o all correspondence had with any mr tie * touching any attempts to induce the United States government to rec ognize the Peruvian company. A resolution was also adopted re questing the president to communi cate to the Isicaraguan governm nt the necessity for a convention be tween the countries touching ad justment of Nicanvguan claims. .Adjourned at 5:10 : p. m.

No lives ire reported lost , but the inmates of the hpuiscs overcome wcro saved with difficulty. A dozen or moro houses altogether are wrecked , among them the thirst residences in the county and .that of Deputy Sheriff Ross , just com pleted. The storm appears to have begun northwcs of this city and com menced to acquire destructive force soon after leaving us. Mr. Horace Allis , general passenger agent of the Pine Bluffs rpad , reports it as violent sixteen miles south of hero , whore ho was caught in the storm. At Pleasant Landing the steamer J. A.
