Army reduction Defeated in the House committee of the whole. Board of army examiners to be appointed fraud investigation enthusiasm still on the decline. Amor Smiths nomination not yet reported to the Senate. 8teamboat Bill delayed. River end Harbor Bill ready for the Senate. 8peclal Telegram to the . Washington majr 23.�?the Steamboat Bill will not Likely be reported to the Senate from the Commerce committee earlier than the Middle of next week. A in omber of that committee is authority for the statement that the Hill will not to unsatisfactory to the Steamboat interests. The main Point now in dispute is the liability clause. The River and Harbor Bill is nearly ready for report to the Senate. About one million dollars has been added to the seven million dollars which the Hill As it passed the House proposes to take from the Treasury. S a a Pennsylvania democracy. Result of yesterday a convention criticised. Special telex to the commercial. A Washington May 23.�?Tho democratic representatives in Congress from Pennsylvania lament the action of. The Pittsburg convention to Day. Their regrets grow partly out of sympathy for speaker Randall because he had set his heart upon accomplishing a different result and this defeat dashes his aspirations for presidential honors. They express the opinion that the effect of the War Between Randall and senator Wallace will go fallow Ard causing a failure of the party to carry the state next fall and they blame Wallace for carrying on the War to such an extreme length. His Victory is Complete. District of Columbia. Mittee will meet and organize to Morrow Witt ont fail. The frequent postponements of action Are resp iting in serious divisions. The anti plotters Are daily becoming bolder and More emphatic in condemnation of the whole affair. Reports from All sections serve to Inore ase the dissatisfaction. The plotters those who have been forced by the party lash to with them Are smarting under the charge of attempting to introduce the mexican style of politics in this country Tuul throw Hayes out by revolutionary a Means. They say that the Prample most be set right on this question and to democracy cleared of the charge or they will not carry a dozen districts in the whole North. Instead of hurrying up the investigation they Are now mainly employed in denying that revolution is meant. They Are thrown upon Tho defensive and the disadvantages of Tho position Are so apparent that there is a clamor among them that the whole matter should he dropped. There Are Between thirty and thirty five democrats us a counted As opposed to the whole performance and ready to get out of it by the nearest route. Only the continued crack of the party w hip keeps them in line. It is argued on the other Side that it would never do to drop the matter in its present shape As the party could not recover from the ridicule and disaster of such a melancholy ending. The greasers. Bill for permanent government. Special Telegram to the commercial. Washington May 23.�?a leading feature of the Bill now pending in the Senate to provide a permanent form of government for the District of Columbia is the revival of the electoral fran Chise. Citizens Are almost universally favourable to the idea but a comparatively Small number Are exerting themselves to defeat that part of the Hill w hich provides Ftfe Trio election of a Delegate to a seat in Congress because of apprehension that sex governor Shepherd will be elected Delegate. This apprehension is Well founded. The a a Bossy has a Strong hold upon the affections of a Largo majority of this Community who would like nothing better than such an Opportunity to give expression to their appreciation. Many of them want to vindicate Shepherd by a testimonial of their Confidence and Esree a and they look Forward to the proposed Law which will make it possible to secure through the ballot a fitting expression of Public Confidence. Army Bill. Defeat of the reduction scheme. Special Telegram to the commercial. Washington May 23.�?although beaten in certain other particulars the democrats Pride themselves upon having secured one thing in the army Bill upon which they base great a Hope in the matter of laying the foundation for improvement in the military establishment. They secured the adoption of a clause authorizing and requiring the president in or before the 1st of july to constitute a Board to consist of three major generals of Tho army w Hose duty it shall be to examine into and report to the president on or before the 1st of next december upon the organization practical working and efficiency of the Yariv us departments of Tho military establishment and to make such suggestions As in the judgment of said Board will increase the usefulness or reduce the Cost of maintenance of the army and of the several branches of the service which report when so made shall be submitted to Congress by the president. General Banning feels encouraged by this and gives his opinion that the action of the House in refusing to reduce the army does not necessarily indicate that his Bill for reorganization of the army will meet the Fate similar to that of the democratic scheme of actual reduction of the army As presen ton in the appropriation Bill upon which the Hoase has been engaged this week. A democratic filibustering to defeat pro Grett on the army Bill. Special Telegram to the commercial. Washington May 2i>.�?filibustering was resorted to by the democrats in the House at the evening session and by refusing to vote and thereby depriving the House of a quorum they prevented Progress on the army appropriation Bill. These tactics were resorted to because it was evident that the republicans with the Aid of a few democrats were carrying things to suit themselves and breaking the Skeleton of the Bill which the committee on appropriations had fixed up. The worst defeat that was inflicted upon the commit too was a in the rejection of the proposition to reduce the army to 20,000, As the Bill now stands in the committee of the whole in the House the army will not be reduced below its present Streng tji 21,680, the existing Law allowing a maximum of 25,000. Or. Hewitt whose generalship in this matter has been miserably weak and whose Eam pain has been fought on i it Ai it or gave notice that he would demand a vote by ayes and nays when the Bill is reported to the House action. He expects that when they come to recording then votes no democrats w ill dare to vote with the republicans As they did to Day. In other words he expects to Force them into line by threats of excommunication. The army in the South. Little encouragement from any Quarter. Special Teles to the commercial. Washington May 23.�?the National mexican committee which has Quot session Here during the past two Days adjourned sine die this evening having studiously avoided doing anything beyond the adoption of a Resolution commending the action of the House in ordering an investigation for the purpose of exposing to the Public gaze the frauds committed at the late presidential election. But no was issued nor did the Junta give tangible material encouragement to the revolutionists. Not. A word was put on paper regarding the president s title. The committee fought shy of that subject for the protests and expressions of disgust time. Come from All parts of the Union give unmistakable evidence that the revolutionary purposes of Tho mexicans in the House Are extremely unpopular. Everybody comprehends the movement to be revolutionary in its intentions and tendency and no denials from the movers will convince the people to the contrary. A a nomination rejected. Listing basis the grades and pay of to clerks messengers watch111�11� dec., the executive departments reduced by the Bill As it came from the House and to nou concur in the House provisions for abolishing Tho offices of the fourth and fifth auditors of the Treasury.

A Fonfer Matkins. Senator Conkling exerts his influence special Telegram to the commercial. A Washington May 23.�?still another of the presidents nominees was rejected by the Senate Torday. John a. Frothingham a nomination to be assistant appraiser of merchandise at new York City has been before the Senate several weeks and the committee on Commerce to which Tho. Name was referred became convinced by the representations made by senator Conkling , As to the unfitness of Frothingham for the place. So a unanimous Adverse report was submitted to the Senate As if to make doubly sure of defeating the nomination or. Conkling made a somewhat lengthy speech in executive session this afternoon to prove that the confirmation of froth in Liam would not Benefit the civil service and further that the nominee was not such a Man As would reflect credit upon the administration. Briefly collector Arthur did not want Frothingham in his department and As a matter of course Conkling did no to want to a Force Arthur to have a under hit an unsatisfactory Man. So Conkling made a Gallant fight to keep this a $3,000 place for some other and More satisfactory Man. The Appeal had its effect upon the Senate and All but two senators voted to reject Frothingham. These two were democrats Hill and Bury. Capital notes. Sauls disagreement at of its uses in that Section. Special Telegram to the commercial.

Ellis replied that the managers of the Republican party bad marked them and that two of the so kitted districts were in South Carolina three in Mississippi two in Louisiana and so on. He spoke with great bitterness against committing such a crime of the sending of a few companies of soldiers to protect coloured voters from being Bull dozed into supporting a ticket they Hato. The question is giving Rise to Emch bitter a Ness Here As there Are republicans who advocate enforcing Freedom of speech and ballot in the Cotton states and protecting Tho Blacks in an untaran Uuele Choice be the Cost and consequences what they May. Mississippi republicans now Here argue against this programme. They can not be tempted into trying to reorganize the Republican party in that state. The Promise of Money and sneakers does not Avail for these can not copy against the deadly shot gun. An attempt to revive the Republican party they think would Lead to worse but Cheries than characterized the bloody Campaign of 1875.

Special Telegram to the commercial. Washington May 23.�?another Day has passed and again have the Potter plotters failed to Call their committee together to undertake the great work of unearthing fraud. The excuse Given by the plotters is that his cock is absent and it is desirable that a full committee be on hand but the real reason is that the democratic members Are dancing attendance upon the National committee now Here and time is required to get concert of action.

Migratory . In an editorial on the subject of a the Ohio Gerrymander a the evening Star expresses the opinion that it is among the political a a probabilities that the curious redistricting of the state will cause extensive migratory movements among the voting population in some sections.
