DATUS TO APRIL. 14.
Washington, April 13 la the Senate, Mr.
Vfilliams cmled- up tlie bill to prevent tho
absence cf Tei'ritoriul oHkci-s, -which was ft
source of g'eat evil. Judgos, Governors and
Secretaries absent themselves for six mouth?
to visit Washington City and ibe Eastern
btatej.
Mr. Grimes was conscious that great in
justice had been done tbo people of the
Territories, but thought tliobi-l too swelling.
Mr. Nesmitu thought the Ullf too rigid.
Mr. Conness here cal ed attcnt on to tlio
' fact that Territorial offices were selected
from the siiperaaf-mtcd politicians of the
Must, for whom no use could be found at
bAitue. .
The further consideration of the bill was
postponed.
The Senalo Select Committee, on the bill
incorporating the National Telegraph Com
pany, have had a preliminary meeting and
discussed t!ie general subject. Mr. Brown
favored the Government's taking charge of
all telegraphic wires iu the United States
and operating them iu connection with- the
Post (JUlce Department, while others of tue
comrnitteo are iu favor of a most unlimited
grant of power to a new company,- to run
wires along any rou'e whether raiiroad or
wherever they choose to go, all State or cor
portion laws to the contrary notwithstand
ing. It is believed the commiHeo will report
a- bill.
The House hiCving amended the Senate
resolution on the liquor question, so as to
exclude liquor from all public buildings,
including the Wiiiio House, the Senate' re
fused to concur.

bate vo'ed an antiuity of $3,500 to Martha
McCook, mother of the gallant McCook boys,
in addition to the pension which she draws
since (he death of her husband, 'during the
Morgan raid. The only point of the-opposi
tion to it was that it might' furnish a prece
dent for annuities.
The Senate, yesterday, passed the House
bill establishing the rate of pension at $25
monthly in all cases of total disability rs
quiriug constant aid of another person ; $20
monthly in all cases of total disability: not
requiring personal aid, and $50 wbcrx disft
bility interferes wiih labor.
