Morrill, of Vermont, from Committee ou Finance, reported without amend ment the house bill to facilitate the refuuding of the national debt placed on calendar. (This is the bill which panned the House ou the the ltkh and authorizes the Secretary of the Treas ury to exchange directly at pir the four per cent bonds for the five-twenty bonds outstanding and uncalled and whoevr all such live-twenty bonds shall hare been redeemed the provisions of the act shall apply to any bonds of the U. S. bearing interest at five p r cent or higher rate which may bo re deemable. Iu auy exchange made un der the provision of the aot interest may be allowed on bones redeemed for second or thiid months. We un derstood the bill received unanimous approval of the committee ou Fiuanoe.) rlil is introduced and referred as fol lowed by Withers, of Virginia, crea ting the na'iot al public health associa tion referred to aelect committee in regard to tbe prevention of intYoiuc tion of oontagous dijeis?s. By Matthews, of Ohio, a bill ta pre vent the introduction of o u.tinous or in feotious diseases in the U. S., aud to establish bureaus of public health. Inferred to the same comm ittee. Proceeded to consider bills on the calendar, without important action on any bill. Tbe Naval appropriation bill was subsequently taken up, Blaine gave no' ice that he would olfjr au amendment for the appointment of a Naval board to cousider the number of officers needed for a Navy of 7,31)0 men, aud that hereafter, until directed by law, promotion iu the Navy above tho grade of eusigu shall cease. Tlot amendraeut also looks to further re duction iu the expanses of the Navy. lIoi'aE Immediately after reading of tbe journal, Mr. Potter, of New York, caLed up for action t lie resolu tion preseuted by him yesterday, di recting the committee on Invest gation of Election Frauds, to luquire inpo 'Cipher Dispatches," and appropria ting $10,000 to defray the expenses of aucti luquiry. Potter opened the ai.-cuKS:on on the rcfoiution, saying he offered it because he ws iustructed to do so. He spoke feeliugly concerning tho imputa'i 'us which had been attributed to Ii nj, that be desired to prevent investigation of tho ciplier t hvra us. Butler, of Mas sahuse ts, opp sed the res lutiou ou tbe ground that Countess had no juris diction over the private correspon dence ol any bot'y, and should not take patt iu the slanoer of auy public man to satisfy the cnrio-ry ot auy body in the House or out of it. 11 ale, of Maine, suppoiied the resolution, saying now tii it the machine had been started and set in m tion, 1-t it roll on and make investigation into b th sides of the question. Hewr.t supported the reso lution. He called tbe attention of Bu:ler that there weie oocasious in life whin thete was something highar than a Jude or member ot Congress. It was when a tene of mnihwd struck into the human Ltart. He sto.d here, in that spirit of mauho-'d, to invite the f.jl.est investigation of the telegrams.

Let Mi.Tilden have a. i opp. r. uuity to coufrout his accueis and tralucer8, and show the world that at leist one of tho candi dates at the late Presidential election va- not a nvserab'.e trickster, willing to bargain for the highest office in the gift of the people. Hewitt excluded by spying: 4 L"t then, Mr. Tilden have an opportunity to oonfroni his accusors, his traducers, his maligneis, before a corupotont tribunal. Lst the man who of right should occupy to day the executive chair, goon tha wit ness stand if need be and satisfy tbe A-nerican pjople and the world that one at least of the candidates of the two great parties whoe exisnenoa is essen tial to the maititen ince of free govern ment, is not a miserable trickster, willing to make bargains for the high eht othce iu the gift of the people, every hour's wrongful occupation ol which only intaiusines tbe dishonor of its acquisition aud the humiliation of its possession." The resolutiou was adopted The House committee on commerce heard argument to-day from Ex Kepresentative Lynch, of Maine, Rep resentative Ward, of Pennsylvania, and Mr. C dkins, of New York, against the bill giving registers to foreign built ships purchased by American citizens. The committee will probably recom mend the bill to be postponed indefi nitely. Urent Fire In JKlixiabeth. w Jersey. By Telegraph. Elizabeth, N. J., Jan. 21. The Arcade row is on fire.
