Referred. I Private business Having been dis pensed with, the House resumed .the consideration of the presidential succes ion bill, and its passage was advocated by Mr. Dibble, of South Carolina, who regarded it as a far better temporary provision than the existing law. He proceeded to argue that neither the president pro torn, of the Senate nor the speaker of the House was a United States officer, and in , support of this position quoted from, the fourteenth amendment to the constitution, where a distinction is made .between a member of Congress and a United States officer. He picked out flaws which he contended existed in the present Statute, and the manner in which, if called into operation, it would destroy the i symmetry of our national election! system. While admitting that the pending measure did not meet and no temporary ; provision could meet every exigency which might arise in the presidential I succession,, he answered many of the ; objections made to it, and sowed -whereat ifr was -an improvement or the law; of 1792. Mr;!! Osborne, of Pennsylvania,' re gretted that he could not give the bill ns sanction but he could not find in the arguments made in its support suffi cient legal reasons to answer the consti tutional objections he found to it. , Mr,!

The latter gentle man favored a settlement of the vexed -question by a constitutional amendment and the amendment which he thought best was one providing for three Vice Presidents. .

The Repub lican Senators met in caucus at 10:30 this morning and adjourned at 1:30 p ni. lneir ; purpose was to compare views with regard to the right Of the SeEate to information as to the Presi dent's reasons for making removals from office. The fact was stated that many of the inquiries addressed to heads of departments by chairmen of committees remain unanswered, but inasmuch as no action of the administration up to this time indicates a purpose to refuse to give this information, no formal propositien was made and W action was taken, while a wide variety "of opinions found expression with regard to the propriety of raising a formal issue with the admin- ietratton at present. Upon this ques tion the majority were of the opinion that should the information sought not ultimately be forthcoming, the Republi cans will in justice to the men who have een suspended or removed for supposed use, be required take some formal ac- iod in the Senate to; secure the icfor- ation or an avowal bv the President that he will not give his reasons for making removals! The resolution offered in the House by Representative Boutelle, of Maine, inquiring into auegea misconduct on ine part of the commandant at the Norfolk navy yard, came up for consideration this morning, before the committee on naval affairs, aud led to a heated t oliti- cal discussion. Mr. Wise, of Virginia, made a speech denouncing the resolu tion and impugning the motives of its mover, lie insinuated that the resolu- tion was introduced from a desire to make party capital, and expressed the opiQiionhat it should be amended so as to allow a general investigation into the conduct of affairs at the navy yard. He urged that a mere newspaper report was the. sole foundation for, the proposed in quiry, and that it was not becoming the dignity of Congress to heed such Btories. Mr. Boutelle vigorously defended his resolution. He said he had been assured by a brother number that the publication was substantially correct. Mr. I ho mas pointed out that the resolution was not far from an inves tigation. It was a simple inquiry, and if the story was without foundation the navy department could easily prick the bubble. Mr McAdoo also contended thai the investigation should be general. Republicans had1. been discharged from ottw:f navy-yards' on the .eastern coast and why not at Norfolk. Mr. Hewitt in quired, if it would be contended that the victors were not entitled to the spoils. Mr. Thomas acquiesced in that assump tion, but said that the case under consideration was a question not of fiolitics, nOt ' whether a Repub ican had been displaced by a Democrat, but whether a statute giving the prefer ence to Union soldiers had been viola ted. He wanted to know whether Union soldiers' had been discharged to make places for rebel soldiers and whether memorial stones commemor ating Union victories had been oblit erated. Mr. Hewitt inquired if tho gen tleman would .have tolerated a Confed erate monument commemorating the vic tory of Bull Run Mr. Thomas replied that he would havo it pulled down. Fortunately tho rebels failed in their obiect. He was not yet ashamed of having fought for the Union. Uther members of the committee expressed themselves in strong lauguage and the session ended without action on the res olution, which will come up for consid eration jitjthe next meeting. ,t.

A HARVEtLOCS IXVEJITIOX It seems to be somewhat more than possible that the latest type-writing! machine which is expected to revolun tionize the printing business will do all! that is claimed for it. As described in the papers, insteadof being worked as all other machines' the kind are, with a key-board, it is operated hy means of a strip of perforated paper, Which causes it automatically to set a column of type, fully corrected and justified, in lines of exactly equal length. In this strip of Caper are indicated by means of rows of oles running crosswise thajt which re presents everything done in hand-type composition, from the picking of tne typo from the case to the placing of it in a coiumu, witn an corrections ana alterations inserted, the line properly justified, and the whole ready to be made up in form for the press. The strip of paper is used to control the operations of tho type-setting machine, the perforations corresponding to every I one of the types and without the limita tions to be found, for instance, in the telegraph alphabet of Morse. As the continuous line of type justified is set it is moved forward in the machine to the galley, automatically. By the same strip of perforated paper the inventor of the type-writer has in- vented and had' patented another curi-know osity, namely, an automatic telegraph, ( the perforations affecting at any distant point simihar type machines with pre-1 cisely the same results as if the first rib-1 bon were employed. 'I claim." says I the inventor, who is, by the way, the well-known authority on short-hand, 1 Munson, "that by my process - the same I newspaper may, after one ribbon has I been prepared, be (imultaneously put in I type at dinerent places, so as to be there I printea ana - aenverea to its reaaers i -.11 J i ... - i without the delay now occasioned by I transportation irom one publication omce I .a ' m . JW only. 1 have also invented an auto-1 matre type umirioutor to go witn tne i ..j- i i- lit ii . I other machine. This distributor auto-1 matically takes line after line and dis-1 tributes the type into their various res-1 ervoirs. a not oniy acts on tue types, thought, we know oi a laay in vnica but on the commas, the em quadrats, I so whose patents for the invention of a the thick spaces, etc. In short, my in-1 ventions do for the art of type-setting I precisely what the inventions of )ac-1 quard anq others nave done for the art I ol figure weaving. My type-setting I machine, with' its perforated ribbon I operating automatically, bears the same I relations to all key-board typesettine I macninea aa wen as o uieite j-noara mm-1 chines, which, instead of setting types, 1 - ii x i i t . I are made to operate gangs ot either type I matrices or ype puncnes, ana witn tnem cause to bef manufactured metal printing plates directly, without the use or in tervention of types for the purpose. (The machine for them applies like the mod ern power loom for hand weaving in place of the old hand loom, . Anybody Who has been used to operatmg a tj writer can work' this machine.. The I proof-reader merely corrects the ribbon; and the ribbon can . be reproduced at distant points. i All this seems very wonderful, but it is certainly not, farther beyond reasona ble possibility than the inventions of I Jaequard seemed to our fathers before they were made practical and useful to all the world.
