Washington, March 30. In the House to-day Mr. Cox, of North Car olina, on .behalt ot the committee on C1VU service rerorm, caiiea up uie uiu and compensation of certain officers lu ov '"iv " , " , . eonnro an art n 1 1 a nl a n. In.sm nf'.ai inn 1 of the United States, but the reading of the report lasted until the morning hour expired. The House then went into committee of the whole on the postoffice appropriation bill. Mr. J. M. Taylor of Tennessee, de fended the postmaster general from the criticisms made upon him by Mr. Burrows, of Michigan, for not in creasing the salaries of fourth and Tifth-class postal clerks, and quoted from the record to show that this sub ject of increase had been left by Con gress to the discretion of the post master general. Mr. Bingham, of Pennsylvania, tave his hearty approval to the gen eral features of the pending bill, but he criticised the appropriation for for eign mail service, maintaining that an additional sum of $50,000 should - , ., ' .

The bill appropria ted $375,000 for the . transportation of nnr fore km mails but $300 000 of this to tr Sen irDgand Llv mOOO to American steamships ?? X rTLoS thV1tn stPamsl Fns vct o.v.v --'" O f I were paia uy us uv. "" "f " American steamships because they i i a. . : - . . I, performed so muchjnore service might be so, if by service was simply meant pieces transported without re gard to distance. The trouble was that our basis of payment, which con sidered simply the weight or tho mail. was unjust and favored foreign lines which occupy Trans-Atlantic routes where the mail was heavy, while American lines occupied routes oh this Continent and on the Pacific where the mail was light. We paid the l.ritisli Cuuard and White Star lines :5S cents per mile for mail service on thpir ou tward trios last year, but heir outward trips last year, out enlaJl ta?LWJIt dri? four cents per mile one way, and even the sea and inland postal maximum which our laws allowed would only give eight cents per mile. We paid the line to China "and Japan onlv 3 cents Der mile last year, and the Ven ezuelan Hue onlv li cents per mile one way; and the amount proposed by this bill would allow only 3j cents per m.ln tn fhis linp next vear. At the tu vr v - f v l I same time we proposed to pay the finnan! line 38 cents per mile. The last Congress appropriated a sufficient amount to enable the postmaster gen eral to pay existing American steam shin' linp as mue.ii as we paid the Cunard line and to secure the estab lishment of a new line to Buenos Ayres,' but that official declined to execute the law. and it was denounced as a "subsidy." If this policy was to be continued we would in due time see the last American steamship in the foreisrn trade Mr. Blount, ot Ueorgia, deienaea 10 ii V . - 1 vice. This subject,-he said, had been considered at a Cabinet meeting, and whatever of error in crime there might be. attached not only to the postmas- ter treneral but to the President and bis Cabinet. But he argued that the postmaster general had committed no jerror. but td only exercised a just and wise discretion. He instanced sums paid to American stearasuip companies to show that .the amounts allowed for carrying the mails were Wastlv in excess of the compensation vhich would be required oy sucn companies for carrying ah equal height of freight or express matter. He challenged the correctness of the statement that the fdieign mail ser vice was paid less than railroad, coast wise or star route service, and he quoted from the postmaster general's report to sustain that challenge. Re ferring to the. proposed re-enactment iof the- compulsory carrying law, he stated that that law bad been first in troduced into the Senate by Charles Sumner, baseci upon petitions of citi zens of Boston setting forth that American steamers were refusing to carry the mails with a view to extort in? larger rates of pay. This law had been repealed on a conference report which had never had any considera tion in the House. The conference 1 . y . , . i i i report upon the shipping bill, which ssi . unaer the rules, should have expre fully the change proposed in the bill, had been silent in regard to the re- peal, and the House had had no kdowi- K.iL,UtlU Tmi Lriwi o r 1.0.. closes with a more hopeful prospect ed?eas to what was being done Then Waco.

The management of the school has been under tho care and supervision of Sarah E. Shepherd, a colored teacher of fine attainments. The progress made hy the pupils in all the branches of study show her to havo extraordinary faculties for teaching the young idea how to shoot, and the committee and patrons of the school are perfectly satisfied with the ad vancement made. Four months ago, when she opened the school, a very large percentage of the scholars were in the beginning of the alphabet; now, they can read, write and cypher. an attainment which gladdens the neH.ls 01 a 1 emiaren.

An Address to tlic Public from Knights ot Labor. Hy telegraph to the Plf patch St. Louis, April 1. The following address, issued this evening, speaks or itself : St. Louis, April 1, 1SS0. To the PuUic: As showing the sincerity of the rail road managers in their treatment of he Knights of Labor, we respectfully state that, pursuant to the order of our General Executive Board, we this day sent a committee to the managers ot several railroads, offering to return he men to work,. and in no instance would they be received or treated with, each official in turn either re fusing them a hearing or evading them with specious subterfuges for direct answers or refusing them em- . pioymeut. Mr. lloxie has agreed to receive a committee or employees to adjust any grievances whien may ex ist, ii o reiuses personally and through nis suoorumaies to recognize any or us as employees and retuses to receive any but such as he calls employees. iu"suort, aitei himselt and Uould havo. conveyed the impression to the world that they are willing to settle, they re fuse to settle. Now, we appeal lo a candid and suffering public, on whom is falling all the weight of this great conflict, if we have not been de ceived epough f How much is long-: suffering labor to bear t This great strike never would have been had Hoxie consented months ago to hear our complaiuts. We don't claim to be more than human. It should not be expected of us to be more than hu man. In this country position makes no man king or slave; and imperious refusal on the part of one citizen to confer with other citizens with whom he may have business connections, when such refusal begets a great busi ness and social revolution, is not only a mistake but a crime againsf the pub lic. Gould is invoking the law against little criminals who are made desper ate by his policy of duplicity and op pression, and yet the terrorized public does not invoke the law against the arch-criminal of the land. If we can not be allowed to return to work tho strike must go on. By order of feigned, Executive Boakd", D. A. 101, 93, and 17. St. Louis, April 1. Notwithstand ing the failure of tho Knights on the Missouri Pacific railroad to return to: .work freight traffic on that road has ' assumed very uearly its normal condi tion. Tho freight depots throughout the city present an animated appear ance. Transfer wagons and trucks are arriving in great numbers, deposit ing their loads for shipment to all points on the Gould system, and others are departing heavy laden. In the railroad yard the usual activity pre vails, in marked contrast to the dull ness which has existed during the strike. Freight trains are being made up preparatory to starting and are placed iu a position to receive loadu without any attempt at intenerence from the strikers. The general oflices of the company have also assumed their normal activity incident upon the resumption of freight traffic on the system, and to-day the nst or the month clerks who were temporarily suspended during the stnke resumed work. WAR IN MADAGASCAR. The French Troops Disastrously Defeated by the Hovas. , The African mail steamer which arrived at Plymouth, England, bring news oi desperate ngming oetween the French and the Hovas in Mada gascar. About th,e end of February . tr ' i .tfi . the novas, under uenerai wiioughoy. attacked three thousand French troops, routed them with heavy loss and pursued them to Tamatave. Tho French houses and stores in Tamatave were shelled by the Hovas and de stroyed. The Hovas then returned to the Capitol. Their losses were small. A few days later General Sherringten surprised four thousand Sakalovas preceded by li50 Frenchmen and their machine guns. The Sakalovas were routed, forty being killed and many wounded. This is the frst news of a fresh rupture in Madagascar and has created a great sensation. ( SECRETARY MANNING. Secretary Manning's condition re mains practically unchanged. At best it will necessarily be a long time be fore he will be able to resume his of ficial duties; The impression that he will soon resign grows stronger daily. Assistant Secretary Fairchilu has been most prominently mentioned as his probable successor, but the latest rumor is that if Secretary Manning should resign, the portfolio will be tendered to Congressman V. L. Scott of Pennsylvania. Mr. Scott recently tickled the administration by making an elaborate speech against silver. lie is famous as the richest man in the? House and as owner of one of the finest racing stables in America. R. M. Mc Lane, of Maryland, now minister to France, is also talked of. but Mr. Mc Lane, though remarkably well pre served, is too old a man to undertake the duties of such an office. Secretary Fairchild is still a big favorite with the prognosticators.
