The bill authorizing the board of commissioners of the soldiers' homo at Harrodsburg , Ky. , to sell certain property belonging to the homo passed.

The bill to establish a board of rail road commissioners to regulate inter state commerce was taken up , Mr. McDill supporting it. At the conclu sion of Mr. McDiU's speech , consider ation of the Mississippi bill was ref - f suined. Mr. George delivered a long speech v In favor of the levee system. The billfappropriating $465,000 to continue public printing was debated upon by Messrs. Beck , Hoar and Hawley , who contended that the pub lic printing was costing enormously and ought to bo reduced in some way , but the bill finally passed. Adjourned at 5:10 : p. m. VBOCEEDINGS IN THE HOUSE. The bill was adversely reported pensioning mail and life saving ser vice employes injured in government employ. Also , the bill to furnish seed to people in the overflowed districts. The bill to create a civil govern ment for Alaska was favorably re ported. The bill providing for the sale of a part of the reservation of the Omaha tribe in Nebraska passed with a proviso vise that no rights in severally ac quired by the Indians under treaties should bo affected. The bill providing for the sale of certain Kickapo6 Indian hinds in Kan sas passed. _ j , The house went into committee of jftao whole on the tariff commission i bill , Mr. Turner speaking against and Mr. Dingley in favor. Mr. .Townshond ( m. ) followed in opposition to the Dill , saying it was the result of a decision of that des potic ruler in party existence. "King Caucus. " He referred to the chair man of the ways and means commit tee aa having abandoned his princi ples regarding taxation at caucus dic ] tation , to which Mr. Kelley replied f when he could persuade the party to agree with him he agreed with the , party , but that the tariff commission bill was never oven talked of in the caucus , but was the creation of a member of the democratic party and reported in a democratic congress. Mr. McKenzie ( Ky. ) opposed the bill as a confession of ignorance by congress , and a proposition to dele gate its powers in this important mat ter to a few civilians without responsi bility. He thought the bill a protec tive tariff system and had enough of jsin against the people to condemn and consign it not to the new translation "hades , " but the old orthodox , genuine "hell" [ Applause on the democratic side. ] Ho could not ad mire the tariff work of this party , which in a new spasm ot virtue voted to wipe out the polygamy system for the sake of instituting the ordinary plain system of fornication known and .practiced elsewhere. The idea of delegating the tariff to such wet nurses * a President Arthur would appoint 'JT on this commiaaion is preposterous. The infant is too weak from lack of food already. Ho believed a aub- committee of the ways and means committee , consisting of Messrs. Kelley , Durnell , Morrison , Carlisle , Kaason and Tucker , could do better than this proposed commission. Ho referred to the biographical sketches of the members published in the Con gressional Record and furnished by themselves , as showing that they wore no "spring chickens. " He referred to the commissions as unfortunate creationa on the part of the people of this country aa having given to the country an administra tion only remarkable for two things : "Its weak vetoea and cold water at state dinners. " Ho felt sorry for the American people whose ways and means committees came forward and blubberingly aays ; "We can't tackle this subject ourselves , but wo hare got a gang of fellows outside wh can. [ Laughter. ] Mr , McKenzie spoke fully an hour and a half , and was listened to with-a good deal of interest , and was fre quently interrupted by laughter and applause , in which both sides of the house joined. The committee , without action , rose. rose.A bill * vaa introduced by Mr. King / ( La. ) , appropriating § 0,000,000 for re pairs to levees and improvement of navigation of the Mississippi river.

The complaint sots forth m detail a lumber of instances wherein the { ovornor refused to pay bills of house- told expenditure , and tarea on the Tabor estate on Broadway which li occupied by Mrs. Tabor. She nvora , also , that she is compelled to receive warders und rent rooms in the house , o support herself. A striking featt uro of the proceeding is that the sui , a practically brought for allimony- without an accompanying re. quest or clause for divorce- It is claimed that the statutes of Col orado do not anticipate or counten- mco any auch action , and that ashore ; here is , in conaociuonco , no juris diction , the case will bo dismissed. An allegation is mode that the gov ernor had repeatedly offered large sums of money to Mrs. Tabor if uho would proceed for a divorce. In the governor'n defense it is stated , that two years ago ho gave to Mrs. Tabor $100,000 , which she has judiciously invested in real citato in this city.
