YESTERDAY AFTERNOON SESSSIOX. Washington, Jan. 34. The pending tbe question being an amendment of Sargent's, providing that certificates heretofore issued by tlie board of audit, includiug those converted into 3 Go bond9, and those which have not been so converted and certicaes hereafter to be issuedby the board of audit or their successors, in office, shall not exceed in the aggregate the sum of $15,000,000,

condition. Tbe been absolutely debt as his confl.^.*..^ been allowed to rest on other people alone. All the property in the Destrict could not have been sold for -enough to pay the debt. Cougresa .recognized this tact and very propers ily. He then referred to the former (district government and said the [governor of'lie district would have various satellites placed around his person. Shepherd was tbe ruling spirit
It was in fact the government of shepherd. Bayard then read the testimony taken by the joint committee two years asjo, and said the contracts ouder the former district government were jobbed out and the granting of the contract was the granting of a large fum of money as a gratuity and as a bonus to those who got them.
The speaker reminded the members that the extravagant expenditures made by that government should ba stopped, but congress gave attention to them, but at last thanks to the press, exterior to the district, the demand became too strong and public opinion said that their complaints must be beard. There was a resistence to investigation counsel was employed by Shepherd to browbeat witnesses indictments were threatened, and not only that crime was by that he meant the assault upon the character of Columbus Alexander, by charging upon him a dreadful crime. He then ieferrel to the District government, and paid the commissioners were even brought •here from abroad, who were not familiar with the affairs of the District. H"e believed men could be found here ..who were peers of those from any •ntner part of the country, but they were not like Shepard. Every man in the District whome he(Bayard) had conversed with said the removal of Shepard wasouly a nomial thing. His men were still iu office, and his influence was around the commissioners. He had been informed that the eeuusel dmployed by Shepard and his associates when the taxpayers of the Disteict were fighting them were paid with 3.65 bonds. He bad also been informed that $25,000 of this money had been paid to one of their party papers for publishing the testimony taken before the committee. There had been casts where the vigilance committee swept such govermenta from existence for one half^ of the wrong committed in th's district. Be believed the commissioners could pay the interest on these bonds if they would take the money in tbeir hands and doit, and not keep it to appropriate here for other purposes-
conclusion he favored an adoption of the provision of the house bill, that notning in the resolution thats-hall bind the goverment of the United States iu any obligation to pay the interest of bonds which have been

Government
the approbation of every Domocratic Benator. Stevensor, of Kentuckey, if all the abuses complained ot in this district, did not spring «P «Qder a popular government i^ the hand of the party to hich the senator from Indiana, Morton, belonged.
Morton said lie had "uderft®°*i heretofore, that the board of public works had been charged with these enormities. That board was an appointed government, and not one elected by the people. He claimed that in the begining this debt was not saddled on tbe people by a goveminent elected by themse.ves, but was put upon them by an appointed government. la reply to a question by Stevenfcon, he-said that the joint committee which made the investigallon iuto the district affairs, Teport unanimously in favor of the board of commissioners, but it was v.intended that the government by them should be only temporary, and .« a committee was appointed to prepare a system of permanent government. The bill was prepared and was reject ec^at the Kst session, and
the
board of commissioners therefore

continued. He (Morton) never favored tbe 3 G,") bonds, but the senators of both sides did favor of their issue, and if it was a mistake itcould not be said-that rt was a mistake of the Republician part3T.
Stevenson inquired i€ the legislature which was elected iu the district by popular suffrage had not approved of the contracts made by the board of public works.
Morton replied that those contracts did not receive the santion of the legislature and that was a fact which the senator from Ohio, Thurman, bad complained of. In conclusion, Morton argued that those who voted for the act of June 20th 1874, voted to complete any legal contract made by the board of"public works, be they few or be they many.
Thurman said it seemed to him impossible to assail the government iu this district and any form that the senator from Indiana did not consider an attar-K on the Republican party, and immedially considered it to be his duty to fasten on his armor and that organization. He (Thurman) did not think that tlieje was any party question in this matter, until the senator from Indiana (Morton)
Bayard said all expenditures here had been for the benefit of mere wayfarers, therefore that suppose the city should bear the whole expense, was unreasonable. Tbe people of thecoun try would bear and ought to bear the spoke." The "act of Juue 20th iS74, cuief part of the cost of maxntaing the passed the senator with but vote atown in an appropriate and proper ..niimf- it. ami niisspil ihp hnusn with
why he not
before the senate, speak against il? Morton said that ho was not iu his seat that afternoon.
Thurman said it was easy enough for Senator Morton to have moved for a reconsideration of the vote when he came in afterwards, then he could have opposed the bill. But he had an opportunity after the bill passed to oppose iu The president sent, a messjige to congress suggesting a higher rate of interest thau 3,03, when Senator Morten had au opportunity to oppose it but ha was as dumb as an oyster. Now after more than two years have elapsed, the (Morton) come to read a lecture to the senate in regard to a bill which passed with but one vote against it. All the members of the senate except one, and all the house except 22, thought the passage of this bill was the best thing which could be done.
Mr. Thurman then defended the joint committee which made the investigation into the district affairs, and spoke of the act of Juue 20, 1874. He said he was instrumental in preparing it, and he never bestowed more care on any subject. Upon a fair interpretation of it, it would be seen that it was a good, wise, and proper law. The district commissioners had rejected the same contracts as not valid under its authority. Henoped thete matters would emiage the attention of the District of Columbia committee, so that a government of economy and reform might tie inaugurated here.
Mr. Movton aaid »o it eecmed the costly govern merit of the district was created by the bill which the Senator from Ohio assisted iu drafting. He ought to have devised some cheaper form of government.
Mr. Thurman said his friend from Indiana, (Morton) conceived himself to be exceedingly smart to-day, and argued that one who voted for a bill was responsible for the wrong committed under it. The Senator (Morton) voted for the whisky tax, while he (Thurman) did not. Ergo, the Senator Irom Indiaua, was responsible for all the frauds of the whisky ring, that was the logic of the Seuator, why did they not indict him with McKee and the rest, of them in St. Louis, and say that McKee is not to blame, M.Donald is not to blame, and Babcock is not to blame, but that the thing is oil Morion. He did it. [Laughter.]
The question being on the amendment of Sargent, as above quoted, it was agreed to.
Mr. Kernou submitted an amendment providing that any futher issue of 3 65 bonds under or by virtue of said act of Congress, approved June 20:h, 1874, be hereby prohibited.
Sargent said by ttie amendment
opteii
issued contrary or not in pursuance J"3* be converted into these issued could be converted into these bonds and the adoption of the amendment proposed by the senator of New
of the law and at the proper time. He would move to restore that provision to the bill.
Morton said that desired to call attention of the senate la the first place to some of the provisions of this bill which was only tojpay interest due by the district government. It had been criticised and the present ois trict commissioners had been suoa stttiilialivcharged with having ins creased debt since they took posession to the extent of $5,000,000. The seua* tor from Deleware, Bayard, had not shown where these comrnks or ers had violated the law. If these bonds were issued erroneoas it was the fault of the commissioners. Tbe senator
certificates already
York would exclude these certificates. Kernau said that in light of the facts disclosed in this debate he did not think congress would allow ans other bond to be if sued. These cer* tifleates should be looked into and if any of them had been issuep wrongfully they need not be paid.
Sherman said, under the- law a3 it now stood these certificates were convertible into 3,65 bon'ds.
Logan said he did not understand how it was that the senators charged that these bonds had peen issued in violation of the law, and yet they
Mr. Eaton said be agreed with the
fn'any ^mmunlty^havi"ng~a govern senator from Illinois (Logan if ment that vated to destroy the right there had been a violation ot the S «Plf Koveinment in this district 'aw then United States ought not to who was in favor of now governs pay interest on these bonds.

Mr. Eaton then yielded to Paddock, and ou his motion the senate by vote, yea* 34, nays ?4, went into executive session. When the doors were reopened, Mr. Eaton gave notice that he would not submit thp rest in regard to the life and public services of the late senator Ferry tomorrow, as lie announced last week, on account of the abscence of one of his colleagnes in tho house, who had gone to Connecticut with tho remains of Mr. Starkweather.

THE SPANISH CIVIL WAR. London, Feb. 1.—The Times publishes a letter from San Sebastain, from which are gleaned the following interesting details and results of some of the initial engagements betweeu the Itoyaliats land Cariisis in northern Spain. The movement bv the yalists toward Vera on the 25th of January was only a faint to cover tbe rear attack on Guetaria. Guetaria is the ouly point tbe Carlists have held ou tho Caniabrain cost, west of San Sebftstain since ti.'o commencement of the war. Gen. Marones, returning to San S&bastiiin, embarked two ^battalions of troops which landed at Guetaria before day light ou the 26th. These immediately attacked aud captured the height of Garatemendi, wiiibh commands the town of Guetauai- The Cariis's fled almost without filing a shot. It would be difficult to ovor estimate the importance of this movement. It completely alters tne complextion of Guipuzcoon, The pain pa gn renders necessary ab^ndoment of the Caroliats' position, from which they abandoned »San Sebastine and opens an easy route whereby.Goriones may ••dvance into Bi.*coy, threateniug Duranco and other ^Cariist centres to a junction wilh 0eu. Jjimasi's forces, now advanciugLfrom the dii rectiou of Bilboa. Thii3 Gen. Morione's movements have commenced more favorable anil should subsequent opperations be!.crowned with equal success, Carllsm will soon have received its blow in western provinces.
San Sebastian, Feb. 1.-Advices received here announce that General Martinez Campos is advancing into the heart of Ba'Ziii valley, driv'ng theCarlists towards the mountains of the frontier. A great panic is said to prevail among the Carlists at Vera and at other points ou theBeisboa river. General Morones continues the movement he commenced yesterday.
Tolosa, Feb. 1.—The Carliats deny that they were defeated at Santa Carleara. They claim that their General Peruda rppulsed the Royalists and pursued them to Puenta Ls Reine, and that the Royalist divis ion advancing on Lorca was defeated and retreated precipitately and that General Morones received., a severe check on the 2D til or January.

There was an implied understanding when the National Association accepted the American challenge that a team selected would be only one from Great Britain. Anattemptof the- Americans to induce teams from Scotland aud Ireland to go out, will lead to a reopening of the whole question, if not a withdrawal of the rifle association from the field altogether. A meeting will be held to consider the matter, and unless a team is strong enough to satisfy Sir Henry Halford, it can be relied upon the association will certainly not send any representatives.

REPORT OF THE INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE.
Giving IIip Method of the ViiJ lain Thomassons Proceedings.
London, Feb. 2 —A report presenting tho results of an investigation into tho Bremerhaven explosion has been published by Bremen authorities, according to his own deposition the name of the perpetrator was William King Thomson. He was born iu Brooklyn in 1830. His parents, who emigrated from Hamburg to America^ are now living in Virginia. Thomson was taken prisoner when running a blockade during the l»«te war in the U. S. He escaped and fled South, where he passed under the name of Thomas. He mentioned A. idlers Skid more of New York, as an accomplice, but made no reference to other accomplices. His wife supposed his name was Alexauder. He had tattooed his arm, but there is no evidence he entered into relations with underwriters or plotted against the safety of vessels previous to 1875. nor is there any evidence except insurance of three thousand marks on a barrel which exploded. He insured any goods to be shipped by tbe Mosel or Dutchland, observations made by Thomson, points to the conclusion he intended to band a small box to the cffficers of the Mosel, declaring it contained greenbacks, and that he intended to have the box Insured in June, 1875. Thomas insured tthe goods on the steamer, Pbernpfor 9.000 pounds, through the Bariri|rsfof London. His wifes evidence^lWivs that previous to his departure in-Novembsry 1S73.
