XoTwiTirsTANDixri the promises made in the House, that no more money should be given
to
persons unsuccessfully con
testing the seats of members, that body voted about eleven thousand dollars, today, for expenses incurred by those who fViiled to got scats in Congress. Contested cases occupied the balance of the time.
The above is telegraphed from AVashngton. What caves the present Congress about spending the people's money. They have become so accustomed to it, that not to do it is the exception. Here is eleven thousand dollars disbursed among a lot of fellows who have been beaten before the people for Congress and then go there and endeavor to have the people's decision reversed. In the great majority of cases, there is not one particle of merit in the contest which they prosecute, but hoping that they can get Congress to allow them the usual pay ot a member, from the time of the beginning of the session until their case is decided, they go to Washington and contest the seat of their competitors before the people. It is a matter of no importance as to the merits of the case, they make more in this way, by hanging around the lobbies for several months, than they ever made at home, and the speculation, therefore, is regarded as a good one.
Of course this Congress will pay such fellows what they ask. Eleven thousand dollars of the peoples' money is not much, not so much as eleven millions, and they vote either sum without a moment's hesitation. """"Will the American people open their eyes to these tilings, and sweep from their seats in the present Congress, every member who has been there for the last several years? The people want new men at the head of their affairs men with better norals and more enlarged views, and above all, they want a new Congress.
In connection with this subject we clip the annexed paragraph from the New York Tribune:
A contestant in an election case befora the House, failing to get the place he covoted, was yesterday rewarded for his energy and persistance by the payment of §5,000 "for his expenses." It is recorded that there was once, and for all we know to the contrary there may bo still, in England men who were willing to be Speaker of the British House of Commons for half the pay of the office. We suppose any number of unsuccessful candidates maybe found ready to contest elections at the rate fixed in this and other decisions of the House. The present is an instance of a common abuse which sadly noeds reforming. The country seriously objects to paying two salaries for a doubtful member of tho House. Jf unsuccessful candidates must contofst the elections at which they sutler defeat, let them do it at their own expense or of their supporters, and not at that of the country.
Tins is an old receipt for keeping bouquets fresh, which is said by those who have tried it to be good "To keep bouquets fresh, drop a tablespoonful of powdered charcoal into the water intended for the flower stalks, atld they will keep their freshness and perfume for several days, and will look and smell the same as those just gathered. The charcoal settles to the bottom of the vase, the water remaining clear."
A Roman Sensation.
The Sensation in Rome at present is the discovery of a scandalous love affair between a handsome young Abbe attending the Council, and the fascinating young wife of an influential Roman Senator. The latter, having some suspicions, informed his wife that he was going to Naples for several days, but returning at night by a secret passage, he surprised the gr'lty couple. A terrible struggle ensued now between the Senator and churchman, but the latter succeeded at last in escaping, although not without receiving a terrible stab in the side. His condition is said to be critical. Of course the Papal Government attempts to hush it up.

The opposition to Murphy, for Collector of New York, among the' supporters of the President is giving way, under the conviction that it is politically unwise to make a fight, which would only embitter the feelings of both parties but vigorous opposition is by no means wanting, and the most difficult circumstances which Murphy will have to meet in the Senate will be the proof of his support of Governor Hoffman in 1866. If the Senate can be convinced that this was an overt act of party disloyalty he will be rejected otherwise he will be confirmed. Opinion last night was in his favor.

Brntal Murder of a Boy only Six Tears Old and Attempted Rape.
CINCINNATI, July 8.—Yesterday a man named Peter Blew brutally cut the throat of a boy six years old, son of Mr. Hoffman, who resides in Kentucky, four miles below Lawreneeburg, Indiana, almost severing the head from the body. He had enticed the boy into a pig Jpen, after making indecent proposals to Mrs. Hoffman who was alone at the house.
After the commission of the crime upon the boy he returned to Mrs. H's. and made an effort to violate her person, but she was a strong woman and successfully resisted the attack, and, ridding herself of the villain, ran to a neighbor's, the man first pursuing her and then making his escape when he discovered the woman could not be overtaken. He was not arrested. He had recently been discharged from Hoffman's employ. It is supposed that he fled to Indiana. The excitement in the locality is so great that he will probably be lynched if caught.

He advocated the greatest reticence on the part of the members of the Commercial Union of the State as to their movements and designs, and especially urged that there be no affiliation with either of the political parties until after the political conventions are held and platforms promulgated. He did not advise political revolution, but insisted that the interests of canals are paramount to all other considerations.

CONGRESSIONAL.
WASHINGTON, July 8.
SENATE.
On motion of Mr. McCreery, the bill relieving the political disabilities of some seventy-five Kentuckians was taken up.
Various objections were made by Messrs. Howard and Drake. Mr. McCreery explained that fifty-three of the names had been reported upon favorably by the Committee on Disabilities.
Mr. Conkling referring to the name of Gustavus Smith, formerly street commissioner of New York, which appeared in the bill, expressed surprise that a man educated and nurtured at public cost had drawn his sword against the country which gave it to him, should come here so hastily to seek condolement for his offenses.
Mr. McCreery replied that Smith had done less to forward the rebellion than Longstreet.
Mr. Cameron recognized a difference between the two cases in the fact, that when Smith went South he had boasted of his sacrifice for the rebel cause in abandoning a lucrative office. As to Longstreet, he never ought to have received the position he now holds. His appointment was a wrong to the men of the army and navy, and Senators were bound to consult the feelings of the relatives of the slain of the war on this side the line.
The names of Gustavus Smith and Basil W. Duke were stricken from the bill.
Discussion continued upon the proposition of striking out twenty names which had not received the sanction of the Committee on Disabilities.
The bill relieving the political disabilities of some 5,000 persons, reported from the committee, was moved as amendment, but subsequently withdrawn.
Mr. Drake moved to except all who held Federal or State offices in violation of the 14th amendment rejected, yeas 10, nays 33.
Mr. Corbett, from the Committee on Commerce, reported the House bill, making St. Joseph, Missouri, a port of delivery passed.
Mr. Wilson gave notice he would on Saturday move to take np the Army appropriation bill, and offer as an amendment the substance of the army bill tabled last night, omitting the objectionaable part.
The Conference Committee's report on the bill for the relief of certain officials in the army was submitted and concurred in.
The general disabilities bill relieving political disabilities of about 5,000 persons was taken up.
Additional names were proposed for insertion, among them A. O. P. Nicholson, of Tennessee, in regard to whom it was objected that he left a seat in the United States Senate to take apart in the rebellion.
Messrs. Howard, Sumner and Yates opposed admission to amnesty of every man who formerly held office under the Goverment and left it to join the rebellion.
The name was finally Withdrawn. On motion of Mr. Robertson, a number of names were stricken out.
A motion to strike out the name of exSenator Johnson, of Arkansas, was negatived, after the statement that his official time had expired before the rebellion that he neither became a candidate for re-election, and had since accepted the result in good faith. The bill passed.
On motion of Mr. Anthony, a resolution was adopted calling on the President for any information in his possession relating to the emancipation of slavery in Cuba, and for correspondence not heretofore communicated concerning questions between the United States and Great Britain.
HOUSE.
On motion of Mr. Paine, the Arkansas contested election case of Cameron vs. Root was tabled,
Mr. Julian asked leave to present a petition of 960 colored laborers of Washington, for justice and fair play by the authorities of the city, in the employment of laborers on public works.
Objection was made and Mr. Randall made a suggestion as to including: Chinese.
Mr. Julian thereupon withdrew the petition. Mr. Dawes, from Committee of Conference on the post office appropriation bill, made a report, which was adopted.
Mr. Asper, from Committee of Conference on the bill for relief of certain officers of the army, made a report, which was adopted.
Mr. Sawyer, from Committee on Commerce, reported back the Senate amendment to the river and harbor appropriation bill, aud moved concurrence.
Mr. Davis declared he could not vote for the amendments, and recommended the appropriation for river and harbor purposes be confined to important channels of trade and navigation, and not frittered away in improving small rivers and creeks that have only local importance.
After further discussion the House proceeded to vote on the amendments. Separate votes were demanded on many of them, but all were concurred in by strong majorities, and the bill has gone to the President.
A motion to recousider the vote giving Switzler, of Missouri, $5,000 for expenses in contesting the seat with Dyer, was tabled, 93 to 81.
Mr. Schofield, from the naval committee, reported a bill in relation to enlistments in the marine corps, providing that after the first of July, 1870, enlistments shall be for five instead of four years, and authorizing credit for enlistment pay passed.
Mr. Logan, from the Military committee, reported back the Sanate bill to pay bounties to the 1st Alabama cavalry and 1st and 2d Florida cavalry passed.
Mr. Brooks, of New York, having declined to serve on the Conference Committee on the funding bill, Marshall was appointed iu his place.
The House took up the additional deficiency bill covering items amounting to $1,743,344.
Mr. Dawes appealed to the House not to allow new matter to be added to the bill. The principal item in it was one million for taking the census. Some other items had been overlooked in making out the estimates, and some had arisen from creating the Department of Justice.
An amendment offered by Mr. Randall to pay certain clerks of the House an additional compensation of 20 per cent, for the Thirty-ninth Congress, which had been ordered but not paid, provoked discussion, in which Mr. Dawes said if the House made appropriations to increase pay to officials, he would withdraw from the Committee of Conference in which for the last ten days he had been trying to impress on the Senate that it was improper and unexpected at this time, with heavy taxation resting on the people, to go to raising compensation of officials of Congress.
Mr. Peters advocated the proposition of only making provision for what the House had agreed to by a resolution of the Thirty-ninth Congress, but which resolution the Treasury officials had refused to execute.
Mr. Dawes remarked that the gentleman from Maine had never failed to vote for the highest sums and greatest increase of compensation and salary, ever since he had been a member of the House.
Mr. Peters breaking in—That is unqualifiedly not true, it is absolutely not true. I do not stand here to have such slanderous assertions put on me.
Mr. Dawes—I repeat what I said, and until the gentleman can find on record a single instance where he has failed to come up to the truth of what I have said, I will not withdraw a word of it. The gentleman has also been always in favor of the biggest jobs.
Mr. Peters repeated that what the gentleman from Massachusetts said of him was not true, and he ought to know he had more frequently voted against than for raising salaries. That gentleman had voted tor giving large compensation to female employes in various Departments, and he defied that gentleman to show any such vote ou his record.
Mr. Randall criticised Dawes, and said his course in regard to economy had been that of a man rowing one way and looking another. He was sorry to hear him threaten to resign, but even if he did the House would run on. Notwithstanding the gentleman stood here and played the part of a clown—(a sudden fall of the Speaker's hammer.) I withdraw the expression. (Laughter.)
Mr. Dawes asked pardon if he had used any unparliamentary language, and intimated that he would also apologize to the gentleman from Maine if his demeanor had been such as to deserve it.
The amendment was agreed to—84 to 63. An amendment offered by Mr. Hingham to increase the compensation of the pages of the House was rejected.
Mr. Brooks, of New York, offered amendments authorizing the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House to devise some system of shortening official reports in the Globe, and to leave out irrelevant and immaterial matter.
Mr. Bingham moved an amendment to exclude speeches and parts of speeches not actually delivered.
After discussion both amendments were rejected. Mr. Buckley offered an amendment appropriating $170,000 for- payment of loyal men in the South who assisted in taking the last census agreed to.
Mr. Clarke offered an amendment appropriating $50,000 for the removal of the Kansas Indians with their own consent agreed to. The bill then passed.
Mr. Bingham, from Judiciary Committee, reported a bill to regulate the mode of determining the ratification of amendments to the Constitution of the United States. The first section makes it the duty of the Executive of each State, whose Legislature shall have ratified a proposed amendment, to certify forthwith such ratification to the Secretary of State of the United States.
The second section makes it unlawful for any State officer to certify thereafter any repeal of such ratification, unless authority for repeal shall have been first proposed by Congress, and directs the Secretary of State not to make a record thereof.
The third section prescribes penalty for attempt to repeal such ratifications by State authority, as imprisonment from one to ten years and fine from $2,000 to $10,000.
Mr. Cox objected. The understanding was when the Judiciary Committee had the day assigned to business, that no political matter should be reported.
Mr. Bingham denied there had been any such understanding. Mr. Niblack moved to table the bill negatived, 55 to 120.
Mr. Bingham moved to suspend the rules and pass the bill. Mr. Woodward asked five minutes to express his opposition to the bill.
Mr. Eldridge said there never was a more infernal proposition than this bill. Mr. McNeely moved to adjourn. Negatived.
The rules were suspended and the bill passed, 128 to 54. Mr. Woodward obtained leave to have printed in the Globe a speech he intended to make. "jiy.
Mr. 'Bingham reported a bill author izing acceptance of the resignation of a judge who had held a commission not less than ten years, and who, from physical or other causes, is permanently disabled, the Judge to have, therefore, during his natural life the same salary payable at the time of resignation, the bill to be confined to judges who..hold office during good behavior. ,t ~i}
Mr. Bingham, from Committee, reported a joint resolution directing the Secretary of the Treasury to pay lawful owners net proceeds of all cattle seized after the 30th of June, 1865, such seizures having been made in violation of an injunction of the Treasury Department,
and after the surrender of the rebel armies and proclamation of amnesty. Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts, mads a point of order that the bill made an appropriation and must be referred to the Committee of the Whole, and the bill was so referred.
Adjourned.
