In the Imperial order to the Court to tto into mourning, Count Trani is re " . . . . L i. il . .1 j. tarred to as "tne neir to ine mrone oi the Two Sicilies.' Count Tram was tbe brother ot ex-King Francis II, and son of the noted King "Bomba." Hence K represented the succession to tho throne, as the deposed monarch has no male children. The insult iB the more deedv felt as Count Irani was a person- El enemy of King Humbert, and in the - -W 11 ,1 war of lc'o- commanded tne rep-i inent of Auetrian Uhlans that at Villa- jfranoa aftacked Prince Humbert's square Cwith the avowed design of killing the Prince. 1 The campaign over, the Aus trian Emperor .gave Trani permanent command of the regiment, and after Humbert's accession to the throne of Italy Francis Joseph gave him also the command of an Austrian regiment. Thus the arch-enemies Count Tram; and Kingpumbert found themselves com rades-in-arms 1U luc aiuuiui nor viuc.

Senator Butler today submitted an amendment which he proposes to offer to the river and harbor appropriation bill,; to strike out all after the enacting clause of that bill and iusert a provision appropriat ing ten million dollars,; to be expended by the secretary : of war, in continuing the improvements of the principal and most important rivers and harbors upon which work has been done and is now in progress of construction. It directs the secretary of War to se lect such rivers and harbors as may be recommended by a board of five en gineers of this army, to be appointed by him, the chairman of which board shall be the ehief -engineer. The chair laid before the Senate reso lutions of a convention of Republican editors of Ohio, urging an investigation of the chargtB as to the election of Sen ator Payne, and four other memorials on the same subject. They were referred to the committee on privileges and elec Mr. Ilsmpton called up a bill for the relief of the State of Georgia. oS red a substitute for j it and addressed the Senate thereon. The substitute directs that every State and Territory and the District of Colum bia shall be credited under the direct tax act of August,1861, with such addi tional ' credits as they are entitled to have in consequence of having paid any fiortion thereof, without expense of col eotion to the United States, and also with such sums as have been collected from lands or owners thereof, f It remits and relinquishes all moneys still due or the quota of such direct tax and appro- Eriatcs the money so refunded. , The ill went over without action The Senate resumed the consideration of the river and harbor appropriation bill, the pending amendment being to strike out a provision to prevent the dumping ' of detritus from f hydraulic mining into the Sacramento or Feather rivers, Calilorma. The subject was discussed by Messrs. Dolph; Mitchell, of Oregon, Stanford, Jones, of Nevada, 1 and In galls. The provision was stricken out; 31 to 19. The next" important amendment in the bill was one' to strike out a provision Jor the improvement of the Mississippi river and to insert those reported by the committee on com merce. The whole amount -of the ap propriations for various parts of the river us ji,9w,w. an. ingaiif explained that the distinction between the Bouse bill and the committee amendment was merely as to the methed to be employed in tne expenanure oi tne money, i ne House bill definitely abolished the Mis sissippi commission ; the Senate amend ment retained and continued the com- mission. At 10.30 o'clock the Senate was still in secret session, considering the river and harbor bill, with an apparent in tention of disposing of the bill tonight. HOU3I. I The speaker laid before! the House the Mexican pension bill, with the Sen ate amendment. Mr. Eldridge, of Michi gan, ask-ed for immediate consideration of that amendment. Messrs. Boutelle and Bragg objecting, the bill was te ferred to the oommittee onfpensibns. Mr. Morrill, of Kansas, from the committee on invalid pebsions, sub mitted a report upon a message of the President vetoing the bill granting a pension to Joseph Romeiser. It was ordered printed and laid over. On motion of; Mr. Dougherty, of Florida, a Senate bill was passed for the erection of a public building at Jackson ville.

The amendment was agreed to yeas 134, nays 112. The Senate amendment relative to the publication of the records or the rebellion was con curred in, with the amendment reported from the oommittee ou appropriations for the' papers relating to the defence in the case of Fitz John Porter. This con cluded the consideration of the amend ments, and a conference was asked upon the amendments which have been non- concurred in. The floor was then ac corded to tne committee on ways and means. 1 I Mr. Harris, of Georgia, on behalf of that committee, called up a bill amend ing sections 3,362 and 8,363 of the re vised statutes. It substitutes for sec tion 8,362 the following: ' Section 3,362. All manufactured to baooo shall be put up and prepared by the manufacturer for sate or removal for sale or consumption in packages of the following descriptions and in no other manner : all snuff in packages contain ing one-half, one, two, three, four, six, eight aud Bixtccn ounces, or in bladders and in jars containing not exceeding twenty pounds; all cut and granulated tobacco, all refuse scraps,"' clippings, outtings, shorts and sweepings of to bacco, in packages containinine, two, three, four, eight or sixteen ounces each, except that at the option of tho manufacturer, cut tobacco may be put up in full packages containing ten pounds each, all Cavendish plug and sweet tobacco in packages not exceeding 200 net weigh and every such package shall have printed or marked thereon the manufacturer's name and place of manu facture, the registered number of the manufactory, and the gross weight, tare aud gross weight, tare and net weight of tobacoo in every packages. Provi ded that these limitations and desori;)- ions of packages &hall not apply to to- acoo and snuff transported m bond for exportation and araaily export!; una weepings of tobacco may be sold ui bulk as material and without payuicntiof tux by one manufacturer dir. rt!y to anoth er manufacturer or lor export, under such restrictions, rulas aud regulations, as the commissioner of internal revenue may prescribe; and provided further that wood, metal, paper, or other mv terials may be used; separately or in combination for packing tobacco, tmuff and cigars, under such regulations a.s the commissioner of internal revenue may establish. Section 0,000 is made to read asfollow6: "No manufactured tobacco hall be 6old or offered for sale uaksa put up in packages and stamped as pre scribed in this chapter, except at retail by retail dealers from packages stamped as provided in this chapter, and every person who sells or offers for sale any- snuff or any kind of manufactured to baooo not So put up m packages end am pod shall be fioed not less than $500 or more than $5,t 00, and impris oned not less than six months or more than two years " The bill was passed. Mr. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, called up a bill repealing section 3,151 of the Revised statutes, j roviding for the appointment of inspectors of tobacco and cigars, and providing for tho ir- spection of tobacco, cigars and i-nuf! t provides that manufactured to baco. , cigars and snuff may be removed for xport to foreign countries Without payment of tax, under such regulations and the making of such entries and tho filing of such bonds and bills of lading as the commissioner of internal revenue. with the approval of the secretary of tho treasury, shall prescribe. The' bill was passed. - Mr Kelly, of Pennsylvania, called up a bill ameadlag the statutes in rela tion to the immediate transportation of dutiable goods. It wes passed. It amends the statutes so as to allow mer chandise liable to specific rates of duty nly to be entered for immediate trans portation, without appraisement, to any of the ports mentioned in the ; seventh section of the law of June 10, 18S0, al though the same may not appear by the invoice, bill of ''lading or manifest of importing vessel, to be consigned to or destined for either of the Baid ports, when the consignee at the port of first arrival shall make written application therefor to the collector, giving theJ name f the person at the port tination to whom he desires ttffv chandise to be, consigned. .' K'sY. Mr. Morrison called up and the Htus passed a bill repealing so much of sec tion 3,314, Revised Statutes, as allows collectors of internal revenue commis sions on taxes collected on. distilled pints. Un motion of Mr. Morrison a bil' was passed reducing to $250, with an addi tional $50 for eaoh person employed in making cigars, the: amount of boL.L to be given by a manufacturer of cija: s. The House went into committee of the whole.on a joint resolution dire -vug the payment of the surplus in tho treas ury on the public debt. lhe following is the text ot the reno utioct "That whenever the surplus or balance in the treasury, including the amount held for redemption of United States notes, shall exceed the sum of one hundred millions of dollars it ahall e and is hereby made the duty of the secretary of the treasury to apply such excess, in sums not lees than ten mil lions per month, during the existence of such surplus or excess, to the payment of the interest-bearing indebtedness of the united States, payable at the Option of the government." Mr. Morrison said that all tuod ;y in the country amounted to $1,556,000, 000. Of this 8525,000,000, or n.ay be one-third of all the money in the coun try, was in the treasury at the time tho joint resolution had been introduced. Deducting all the sums which were in the treasury for specific purposes, desig nated by law and. kept for current or necessary running expenses, more re mained m the treasury about g'200,U(JU, 000, including that which wx.- held there for the purpose of redeeming Uni ted States notes. The amount to be held for redeeming United States notes was not fixed by law. It was a sort of discretionary reserve; as the reserve was not fixed, the surplus could not be ex actly stated. Under former secretaries of the' treasury tne custom had been to esti mate the reserve at $100,000,000 and it was the practice of the present secretary to designate that sum as one of the lia bilities of the government. Counting the reserve at $100,000,000, there was still a surplus in the treasury of SIOO.UOO.UU Of this about $28,000,000 was unavaila ble, being made up of fractional coin. So that all the money that would by reach ed under this resolution Mould be about $70,000,000- It would mako produc tive that which was now unproductive and useless. It woul l do something to ward making money a little cheaper. It would tare the government something in interest, and more' than that it would take away some of that temptation which led men to vote largo appropria tions and make improvident expendi tures. ' He criticized the report of the minority; and denied statement therem made that the efl'ct of the reso lution . would be to shake public confidence. In conclusion he de nied that the purpose or effect of the resolution was to place lhe country in the attitude ot repudiation. Mr. I Hiscock, of New York, offered fin amendment, providing that nothing in the; resolution shall authorize the reduction of or payment of any part of the $100,000,000 reserve set apart for the payment of United States notes or the inier st bearing indebtedness of the United States. He proceeded to submit- an argument in opposition to tho resolution, declaring that it had been brought before the House by the aetion of a Democratic speaker, a Democratic chairman of the wayF and means committee,- and a Demoeraiic chairman of the appropriation committee,' sgain?t t he most emphatic protest of the Demo cratic administration This was no dis agreement on a matter of mere detail. 1 he difference was its wide hs that be tween the two great political parties, uiid this was an attempt on the part of the leaideiscf the House to force the pay ment vf the national debt and obligations in silver;, 'to force the government in its financial transactions to a silver bsis, i which the administration earn estly and determinedly resisted. There was Btjther acompromise, nor could there be oue'between the opposing forces upon this great question. This was a de claratiou that U. S. bends should be paid iri silver dollars and he would so :ti ierstand it. It was practically im poo.r.ibie to tj-rcute the joint resolution without Using silver dollars, (all of them, pOFfdbly), bv cause all the surplus was in silver. lie did not hesitate to say that it was repudiation. W hat had induced the Democratic party here to Antagonize an administration which it had placed in power ? Mr. Morrison suggested in reply that it was none of his (Hiscock s) business. Mr i Hiscock: "is that your only answer V Is the only answer the Dem ocratic .leaders will give when asked if they have departed from their adminis tration, 'None of your business?' That is a quotation of an expression which was used most infamously in the city of New York." 1 Mr., McMillan favored the resolution, contending that the payment of the money would have the effect of increas ing the! circulation actually among the people nearly 10 per cent. That meant the giving of employment to 100,000 worknpen. It meant the subsistence of 500:000 people who were always de pendent on the 100,600 workers. What excuse was there for intelligent and pa triotic ; representatives of the people to pay the interest on $95,000,000 when there wis money to pay the prin cipal t What excuse could members give to those who had placed a high trust in their hands for their refusal to pay the money out and let it go in the channels of trade to quicken commerce Today therd were hundreds of thousands of men out of employment. The wheels of industry had nearly stopped. Men were striking and clamoring for .higher wages and yet the government was pay- interest on its debt when there was ,rj w j rj k- tfal: : The gentleman from New York (Mr. Hiscock) had said that this reso lution meant repudiation. From what fountain of wisdom had the gentleman obtained the draught which led to -a conviction that the keep ing . of " only $100,000,000 to redeem greenbacks was repudiation? The gentleman had seen; another ghost and, had said that the resolution meant 1 he payment of the boiids in silver. The resolution meant no such thing, but if it did where did the gentleman find any lawjj or any statute enacted under aay; administration, prohibiting their payment in silver The resolution did not. seek to interfere with a single vested right of any creditor of the Uuited States. It did not seek to turn looseupon the people any wild-cat pro ject which would impair the credit ot the country, but it s ;ught to take from the treasury money the circulation of which was one ol the people s needs. I would result in a reduction of the rate of interest and he did: not think any greater blessing could come of it. Mr. Warner, of Uno, offered' an ; amendment providing that wheu ever the circulating notes of the national banks are redeemed or can celled, the secretary of the treas ury bhall cause to be issued in place of such notes United Mates notes as near at may be in the denominations of those ciuoelled. He referred to the necessity of ' reducing the amount of money in the treasury and ot increasing its cir culation among the people. Such an accumulation of money as was now in the treasury had never been made in the hiatory of the world. The wealth of Croesus sank into iusignificanoe when compared with it. The policy which covered into tne treasnry every year $50,000,000 more than was paid out was a policy which would wreck any admin istration and any party which persisted in it. The people would not submit longer to a policy of this kind and they ought not to suomit to it. Mr W. C. Kinney, of Ohio, offered as an amendment the following proviso '"That the sum of $100,000,000 to bo inspected and reserved, which amount was purchased by the sale of bonds to the extent of $90,000,000 and the bal anoe Dy reservation rrom the reveuua under authority of the act of January d Cmm r . 1 1 i . 14, 18 to, entitled ? an act to provide for the resumption of soecie Davments. shall be maintained as provided by said act and Bet apart for the purpose of re deeming legal tender notes of the United States, when presented for payment, and said fund shall not be used for any pnrpose.'' Air. Weaver, of Iowa, offered an amendment reducing the greenback re serve to $50,000,000. Pending further discussion the oom mittee rose and the House at 5 o'clock adjourned. Op-rrtora Dtnand iy Tor Fxtrm ilaa. Omaha, July 13. At 3 o'clock yes terday afternoon, a oommittee of four from the Western Union telegraph op erators employed in this city, called on superintendent Dickey and presented the following : "We, tie undersigned, representing the operators employed in Omaha, respectfully inform you that said operators hereby demand that they be paid full extra wages for all over time, and that unless said demand is complied with at or before noon on July 13th, said operators will refuse longer to continue in the employ of the com pany." This action is taken with the sanction of and in concert. with the operators em ployed by the Western Union telegraph company at Ogden and San Francisco. At o:6v the chief operator discharged one of the committee, whereupon six others quit, making a total of fifteen out of the night force. About twenty of the day force will quit at noon to-day if their extra time is not restored to the entire force. About fifty telegrams were received from Ogden last night, saying, 'We re with you and will strike to morrow. Telegrams of sympathy and support have been received from San Francisco, nsas City, and points in Texas. The men here are determined, and say they will Btand together.

After an extended parley, the colored men marched to Danville, some miles distant, where they will consider carefully the advisability of continuing at work.
