NAVAL BILL PASSED AND BANK KUPTCV BILL T A KEPT UP INTBJE SENATE. Bill Day in the House A Kentockr Member Introduces a Bill on Income Tax With Especial Reference to Band holders and Millionaires. Washington, April 14. Senatk. The Senate was presided over to-day by Senator Ingalls, who had been de signated for that purpose by the president of the Senate. Among the petitions and memorials presented were the resolutions of the recent convention of inventors held at Cincinnati, Ohio, praying against any change in patent laws that tends to the injury of property in patents. A petition was presented from Mrs. Jas. A. Garfield and five hundred other citizens of Cleveland, Ohio, praying for the passage of a bill pro viding for the return of the Nez Perces Indians to their old home. Hoar from the committee on the judiciary reported favorably on the original bill to establish a court of appeals. This bill, Hoar said, was intended to take the place of several bills introduced for a similar purpose. A bill was introduced by Sherman, authorizing the President to appoint and retire John C. Fremont as a Major General in tho United States army. Referred. Amessage was .read from the House of Representatives announcing the passage ot resolutions in memori- am of the lace Representative Hern- don, of Alabama. Pugh said he would, on Jj riday next, tot 4 o'clock call up the resolu tions for tho action or tne benate. The Senate then resumed the con sideration of the naval appropriation bill tfte pending question being on an amendment proposed by the Senate committee to provide for the con struction of new cruisers. Bayard again objected to the en grafting of this amend ment'trpon the naval appropriation bill. The Senate having already passed a bill to pro- videifor these same crui3ers He raised a point that the;;, amendment was not relevant, and on tnat called for the yeas and nays. The Senate decided that it was.reievant, ayes Z5; navs 14. A vote was then taken on the question of agreeing to the amend ment'itself, it was agreed to 27 yeas to 18 nays. The remaining amendments proposed by the Senate committee were agreed to by the Senate, and also an amend ment proposed by Bayard directing the Secretary ot tne rsavy in connec tion with the gun foundry board which is revived for that purpose to report at ihe next session ot Congress a plan and estimates for a gun fac tory; also an amendment offered by Hale, directing the Secretary of the Navy, to submit at the next session a plan and estimates for the construc tion of an armed ship of 8, 500 tons displacement. The bill as amended was . tnen passed. "The committee on postoffices and post roads reported the postoffice ap propriation bill. It was placed on the calendar and ordered printed. Piumb saying that he would call it at an early day, probably Wednesday morning. The benate took up the next special order, it being a bill to establish a uniform system of bankruptcy. The bill which covers 72 printed pages and is divided into 107 sections was proceeded with by sections. Sev eral sections were agreed to with but slight debate, while some to which amendments were proposed, by agreement were allowed to lie over until the sections unobjected to shall have been disposed of, in hope that an agreement may be reached where by debate and delay in the passage ot the bill may be avoided. The sections agreed to constitute the district ceurts of the United States and territories, and Supreme a e ji. .

The final judgment or order of the Circuit Court shall not be reviewed by the Supreme Court excepting o certificate of division of opinion between two of the iustices oi the Circuit Court. The Circuit Courts shall appoint such a number of commissioners of bankruptcy in the judicial districts of their respec tive circuits as may be necessary, not to exceed m any State the number of members of Congress to which such State is entitled, the district judge of the district in each case to be one of the judges appointing. No person shallbe eligible to appointment assuch commissomers unless a practicing attorney, and such person shall give bond of $5,000 conditional for the faithful performance of his duties. As such commissioner he shall have all the powers of master in chancery. The Circuit Courts shall appoint a supervisor in bankruptcy in each circuit, whose duty it shall be to ex amine personally into the adminis tration of bankruptcy proceedings in his circuit, to move court for actions against delinquent trustees, &c., and to visit and inspect the office of every clerk and commission er in bankruptcy in his circuit once every six months, his salary to be $3,000 a year. On reaching the second section, defining the class of persons who may apply for voluntary bankruptcy and fixing the amount, namely, these owing debts of not less than $500. .. George moved to amend it, reducing the amount to $200. Jle said 4he bill would exclude mfuly worthy men, especially poor colored men in the South, if the bill : were left at $500. . ' Hoar thought each State should provide lor such cases, some simple; ana inexpensive method of mso! venc?T)roceedings. . vZ: Pending debate on this section the Senate went into executive session,, and when doors were re opened ad journed.

It recites that the .bond holders and milhonaires have &id witax jori, incomes, to support the Federal Government for over twenty years V that taxation should be justly'-imposed and that there should be no favored class, and enacts that an income tax of 3 per cent, on over $5,000 ; 5 per cent, on over $10,-JpOQ,- and 10 per cent, or over $100,000 shall be levied and collected. ,;. The House proceeded to the consid eration of bills local to the District of Columbia. The bill providing for the erection of a free bridge across the Potomac, at Georgetown, gave rise to consid erable discussion, but was finally acted upon favorably. On motion that the committee rise and report back the bill favorably the vote stood : Ayes, 49; noes, 88; and the point of "no quorum" being made the committee rose without further action. The committee on Appropriations reported the District appropriation bill. Ordered to be printed and re committed. Adjourned. SHERMAN'S INVESTIGATION. Several Other Witnesses Examined, bat Don't tell Much Abont Danville. Washington, April 14. The Dan ville investigation was resumed by Senator Sherman's sub-committee this morning. Dr. Wm. T. Wolfolk, white, a physician of Orange county, Va., testified that negroes had intim idated voters in Orange county on the day of election. He narrated the proceedings of a colored company armed with pistols, clubs, &c, which he said had taken possession of the polls and prevented colored persons from voting the Democratic ticket. The witness related a conversation between himself and a colored Demo crat in which the latter said, the ne groes had threatened to drive all the colored Democrats out of the county. On cross examination the witness testified that he had seen two white persons armed on election day, but was not armed himself. Wm. T. Ray, white, of Washington county, Va., was present at the polls all the day of election. He denied the statement of Fowler, a previous witness of Washington county, that any violence or intimidation had ben attempted in that co mty on election day. There was no violent demonstra tion there on election day. The larg est vote ever known in that county was polled on that day. He thought it was partly due to the Danville circular. The Democratic State com mittee saying that Mahone had issued a circular calling on the negroes to avenge at the ballot box the death of their brethren in Danville at the hands of the bourbon mob. He had spoken about the telegram on the stump, and had accepted the color line and advised the white men to avenge at the ballot box the death of their white brethren at the hands of a colored mob. On cross-examination he said it was reported in the county that both negroesand whites had been killed at Danville. H. F. Fulkerson, of Washington county, Va., a member of the 47th Congress, had seen no violent demon stration on either side in his county. He thought the Danville riot had brought out a larger vote, both white and colored, than there would have been otherwise. The readjusters had drawn the color line in the election and he had insisted that it should be accepted by the Democrats as, unless it was done, there would be a solid negro vote and a divided white vote. This, he said, would have given the State to the negroes. C. F. Trigg, white, a canvasser for the Democrats in Russell end ad- i'oining counties testified that the )anviTle riot had little or no effect in those counties. He himself had not heard of the riot until after the election. The race issue had been drawn by the coalitionists. Isaac Christian, white, of Charles county, Va., testified that there was no ill feeling in his section between the readjusters and Democrats. There was, however, between the readjust ers and straightout Republicans. The decision ol the Supreme court on the civil rights question had a tremen dous effect on the election, but the Danville riot had scarcely any effect. Colored orators after the Supreme court decision had told the negroes that the United States Government was going back on them. The very best relations ' existed between the negroes and whites in his section. Alabama Republicans. Montgomery, Ala., April 14. The Republicans Saturday and to-day se lected delegates to the several district and national Republican conventions. It is thought that they generally favor Arthur.. Jn the 3rd district to-day, resolutions instructing for Ar thur were, after a lengthy debate, tabled. There will probably be two sets of delegates from several districts. The Republican State convention meets here to morrow. There has been much wrangling throughout tke State between the two factions of the party, and a number of contested seats will have to be acted on. Most of the prominent white Republicans are already here. Reported Rescue of the Greelr Party. Washington, April 14. The Navy Department has been informed that rumor prevailed at St. John, N. F. that the Greely party had been res cued from a mass of floating ice by the crew of a whaling vessel. In a communication on the subject the United States consul at St. John savs the report is not believed there. He adds, however, that he will promptly advise the Department of whatever information may be received on the subject. A Church Concreeation Attacked. St. Johns, N. F., Aprd 14.

The streets of town will be dusty, the dirt will be made to circulate freelv by reason of some more March wind. However, if this dust becomes unbearable the citizens will find three feet of mud just outside the city limits. And the weather for April will not be of such a style as to remedy the dust, or dry up the mud. However, we will say that when it does rain, your roof will leak, if it leaked before, and when it does not rain this leak can be stopped with Mott's Compound Fire and Water-Proof Mineral Paint, and when this is applied will not only stop all leaks, but arrest furlher decay, and at same time renders the roof fire proof. The dry season to follow this wet spell will certainly cause rapid decay, and the roof will then be in perfect condition to catch fire from sparks, etc. We will protect you at reasonable rates.
