This messags is in answer to tbo one sent his holiness by the committee, through Dr. Carey, last Monday, congratulating the sovereign pontiff on the occnsion of his birthday. The dispatch received yesterday is datol March S, and is in Latin. The following is the translation: Washington, March 4.—During the dismission of the conference report on tho sundry civil appropriation bill in the senate, Mr. Hoar said that he desired to call the attention of the senate to what seemed to him A very grave evil—pne that threatened in Mlbatsnce a revolutionary change in the constitutionsl methods ef the government Unless tbe bouse and senate both submitted to Uio dictation of three or four men who happened to be members of the committee on appropriations in the house, on thy majority iide, the great appropriation bills fail and M) extra session is necessary.

I read the other day in the'newspapers a litter from a gentleman who* was said to be Speaker of tbe house. (I will not undertake to cay whether he holds that office or not.) It was addressed to a gentleman who was Mid to hold the office of chairman of the committee on appropriations in the house of repreeentatives and two other gentlemen holdlag high position in the councils of the Democratic party. These three gentlemen wrote to the speaker and complained that they had not been recognized by him for the purpose of moving a meausre for the "But it is charged by many of Mr. Abbett's friends that your election was the result of a 'deal' and that you not a stanch Democrat?" Niw York, March 4.—The search for a Jury to try ex-Aldertmui Thomas Cleary continued all day yesterday, with small show of success before the end of the present week. Mr. Martine's announcement Wednesday tovening that he was satisfied with the twelve men in the box did not appear to be of a very permanent nature, for yestorday morning, after indulging in a confidential consultation with Justice Barrett, which caused Lawyer Dougherty, of Philadelphia, to remark that it was a new thing in his experience for the district attorney and the presiding justice to carry on a star chamber proceeding in open oourt, he asked the ninth juror to step down, and the court set about Ite tedious process of trying to find a Juryman to take the vacant place. Slight Earthquake Shock la France. Pa #18, Mirch 4—A slight shjck of earthquake was felt to-day at Nice. No damage hae been reported. INEXCUSABLE TIRADE "X answered the Inquiry as to my being pledged in any way at Trenton. The Bepublicans did not ask me to mako any pledges and I made none. As to my Democracy, tho»e know me can which tho senator from Massachusetts has seen fit to indulge in. It may be true that the rules of this senate have become mossgrown and effete to the senator from Massachusetts, but it does occur to ine that those universal rules of propriety and self-respect and common decency should yet prevail among us. I do not thfcik that the speaker of tho American congress needs any defense from an attack like that, emanating fflom such a quarter. The idea of the senator from Massachusetts assuming to stand 011 this floor And preach homilies on non-partisan legislation is more absurd than the devils prating about the scheme about universal redemption. WUarever tho name of that speaker of the house is known and recognized throughout this country or throughout the world, it is a synonym for all that is decent, for all that is fair and for an immense deal of what is able. NO PENSION FOR MRS. LOOAN, (or me. I never been thing but a Di crot, and this t i o n h a ■ changed my menta." The noose Has a Spirited Debate on the Rome, March 8, ltr'87. To Dr. Henry Carey, Chairman Ht.

Vice-Chairman, Ke»v York, America Your telegram was most acceptable to the sovereign pontiff, who, returning thanks, imparts most lovingly liis apostolic benediction to Rov.

"It is gait you did not si Governor Gr tost fallf" There was a long series of talesmen who had formed opinions which disqualified them as jurors, and thi A reporter was with Dr. Carey when the dispatch was received. Dr. C»rey considered the mention of Dr. McGlynn's namo as well as the courtesy of the reply to the committee's telegram of Monday almost favorable to Dr. McGlynn's interests. The dispatch was immediately sent up to the reverend doctor, who expressed much pleasure at its receipt. The news spread quickly through the parish, and Dr. Carey's shop was crowded with anxious friends.of Dr. McGlynn, eager to hear the good news. This dispatch, coming immediately after the eloquent appeal of Cardinal Gibbons in favor of the Knights of Labor, aroused great enthusiasm among St Stephen's people, as it is known that the cardinal is a sincere friend of Dr. McGlynn and is expected to plead his caso at Rome.

When he denominates the speaker of the Amer.can congress a usurper, I deny it and say that it is not true, and that nothing in the reoord will sustain such an assertion. When he says that the speaker of the American congress refused to submit or stated that he wouM not submit a promised revision of the tariff or of the taxation system of the country, I deny that and say that it "It is said that Ur.

REVISION or THE TARIFF, which the Amerioan people desire, and which A majority of the members desire, and the speaker replied stating as his reason for refusing to recognise on the floor of the body over which he presided a gentleiqan to make that motion, that he did not approve of the measure which that gentleman proposed to move, and that therefore he would not recognise him for that purpose. The reverend doctor looks much better than he (fid some weeks ago. His face has regained its healthy color, his eyes are bright, his figure erect, and he seems himself again. He is quite cheerlul, and hopes after a week or two of rest at Fortress Monroe to be in good working trim. Dr. McGlynn expressed himself mncli pleased at the tenor of the cablegram, and laid great stress upon the fact that it was all the more gratifying because the authorities there knew that it was sent without hi9 knowledge. The compliment to St. Stephen's pa ishioners—his people—in whose interest he has devoted a life service, was. particularly pleasing. "Did you go to Trenton as a candidate against Abbedf "No, sir, but I went there to defeat Abbott I hadn't the most remote idea of entering the contest as a candidate until within two hours of my election. I went to Trenton, as I have said, to work against Abbett I thought it would be better for the party to elect some other man. I wanted to see ex- Governor Bedle elected, but as his name had been before the joint assembly for some time, it gave bis enemies*chance to get their work in against him. Mr. Tarsney (Ma) wanted Mr. Henderson to bear in mind when he talked of the admirals and generals* that not they alone were the victims. Tens of thousands of humble soldiers with unmarked graves beyond the Potomac bad never been heard of in the halls of congress asking for pensions, and he protested against voting a pension to the family of the distinguished "statesman," not soldier. Oen. Logan was not in the service at the time of his death, like Thomas and Farragut, and in this instance the bouse was asked to foroe a civil pension list upon the American people. Mr. Cannon (Ills.) urged the passage of the bill as a tribute on the part of a grateful country to the widow of a man who served it well. Judge Barrett then took a hand in, and asked Mr. Lynch who had dared to talk with blm about the forbidden subjects. The witness said (hat John H. Lock wood, manager of the Buffet Lunch, who lived in the same house with him, had started to talk of the testimony of Katie Metz the night before, but had been stopped by the witness, who told Mr. Lock wood that he was a juryman and could say nothing about the case. IS NOT TRUE. Now I trust the senator is answered. The senator wanted the issue made. He has the issue now. But, he said, if these gentlemen would carry their proposed revision into a Democratic oaucus and would submit to what should turn out to bo the views of that caucus on that whether they were views of the house or not, he then would permit that motion to be made. Now I say that up to any time within the last twenty years such auusurpation of power would have created • storm in this country that would have driven the usurper out of his seat or occasioned a revolution. Here is a claim advanced in the face of the American people alike overthrowing the constitutional power of the senate and-the power of the bouse, degrading every single member of that great assembly. Mr. Hoar—Has the senator read the letters to which I refer? Mr. Blackburn—I have not, but I have heard of them. And I call the attention o" the senator to the fact that one at least of the many mistake* which he has made in tho attack is that he was not discussing the letter, but was discussing the members of another house and the speaker and presiding officer of that house. There is no necessity for an elaborate defense here. I simply rose to express the hope that tho day would come when the state which furnished to the senate chamber of the country such men as Daniel Webster and Rufus Choate would at last And an opportunity to honor itself and to do an essential service to the American people by sending here a senator who will be at least the peer of the present speaker of the house of representatives in all that goes to constitute fair dealing, high character and able patriotism. WASHINGTON NOTES. "That is all the questions I have to ask ef you," said Judge Barrett, "take your seat" And Mr. Lynch planked himself in the fifth seat with an air of expecting trouble in the future. He was not allowed to koep the seat long. There was no fun at all until John McGarran took the stand, aud then there was fun enough to go round several times. Mr. Mc- Garran testified he was in the fancy goods business and sold newspapers for a side speculation. He opened his heart wide and said: "I must say I have read a good deal about this matter, and I think there is something wrong, but unless something is proved to me I would not believe what is out of the way. I know Louis Wendel, not to speak to him, but I know him—that is to say, I have been introduced to him; but, though I believe there's something wrong, I would not believe what it is unless I heard more about it.. You see, I've itad so much in the papers—I read them all at one time and another." "Although I have had nothing to do with sending the congratulatory telegram to the pope," said Dr. McGlynn, "yet I am much pleased by the answer that the holy father was so much gratified by. the receipt of• it I am all the more touched by the pope's apostolic benediction sent to me by name, as well as to the officers of the parishioners' meeting and to the faithful of the parish, because it is clem- from the wording of the dispatch sent to Rome, and of the answer, that they did not understand from the dispatch that I had any part in the sending of it." The senate passed the legislative appropriation bill. The house passed the Benate bill for the repeal of the tenure of office act The house passed a bill to accept certain lands adjacent to Chicago to be use4 as a military barracks Mr. Randall was ready to make an exceptional case of this in behalf of the widow of Gen. Logan, as he had done in the cases of the widows of Gen. Thomas and' Admiral Farragut, and in saying this he but spoke the sentiment of the people he represented. Mr. Matson thought giving $2,000 pensions to those wbo did not C need them tended to build up an aristocracy with money wrung out of the sweat of the people. The motion to suspend the rules was lost. The anti-polygamy and the trade dollar bills bacame laws by the ten day limit, without the president's signature.

The reverend father declined to be interviewed further upon any other quost.on concerning his recent troubles. The vetoed bills for public buildings at Dayton, O., Sioux City, la., Lynn, Mass., and Lafayette, Ind., were called up and passed over the president's vetoes. This closed the discussion, and then the question was put upon the oonference report pn the sundry civil bill, which was agreed to without division. "X am going to Fortress Monroe Saturday week," he said. "I will only spend a week there. I am going to visit a friend. My physician says that I must have plenty of fresh air, and a week In that balmy climate— a week of complete reet—will set me up The resolution authorizing the executive department to loan the Minneapolis Industrial exhibition certain articles for exhibition was reported back.

War lit Labor's Banks. Senator Blackburn early last evening went to Baltimore. Upon returning to the senate chamber at a late hour he found on his J cult a large package containing an Indian war club, presumably a momento of his attack ou Senator Hoar. Attached to this package was a card reading: '' For J. C. S. Blackburn—a Sioux war club placed where it will do the most good." The chair appointed senator Frye to fill the vacancy upon the committee on ordnance and war ships made by the withdrawal of Senator Sewell from further service on that committee.again." From an intimate friend of Dr. MoGlynn it was learned that the reverend doctor's only objection to going to Rome was that he did not wish to go there as a deposed or silenced priest Cardinal Gibbons aud other friends will endeavor to haye him reinstated at St. Stephen's, so that he can plead his cause in Rome with his full faculties. He is quietly awaiting developments. There will be a McQlynn mass meeting to-night Prominent speakers will make addresses. "You don't believe all yon read in the papers?" said Mr. Nicoli in astonishment. "Oh, no, I know the reporters have to fill up with something, and I don't believe it all. Besides, I used to be a printer myself. (Laughter.) Mr. McQarran was allowed to take a seat in the jury box, but he did not stay there very long. Lee A. Tuller, a dealer in paints, was called to see if be could fill the vacancy caused by the weaknew of the newsdealer. Mr. Tuller did not know very much about the duties of a juryman, although he had served in general sessions and helped to send malefactors to state prison for six mAths. In reply to Mr. Nicoil's questions he said: '*1 don't know any lavfyers—don't want to. Yes, I once knew a lawyer and got skinned by him." This brought down the house, Mr. Tuller was asked whether he had any prejudice against informers. Mot at all. If h* was so situated that he was sure of conviction, he said, he would turn state's evidence himself. To Judge Barrett, he said that he was a sufferer from rheumatism.

In reference to these two measures he announced that he heartily approved of their purpose, and was unwilling to veto them, but that some of their provisions were of a character which he was unwilling to formally approve. He devoted the entire night to the appropriation bills, the river and harbor bill being the only one as to which there was any question.  EXCITING ELOPEMENT.
