[From Our Regular Correspondent | Washington, May 2?tli, ISHS. Tho President and Mrs, Clo ve? lund wont to Philadelphia on Wed nesday, to Attend thc 260th anni versary of thc Presbyterian church held at Clerninntown. Mr. Cleve lnud returned to Washington Thur sday, hut Mrs. Cleveland will re main in Philadelphia a,few days. Noxt Tuesday night Mr. Cleveland will go to New York to take part in tho Memorial Day exorcises in that City, and Ilrooklyn on Wednesday. Ho will review tho New York pa rado in tho morning, and thc one lu Ilrooklyn in tho afternoon, re turning to this city at night. The .Senate has passed the I louse bill to establish a Depart mont of Labor. There wore sevetul unim portant amendments made which will necessitate returning the bill to tho House for ils concurrence. The .Senate committee on agri culture have made a favorable re port on thc House bill to enlarge the duties of the Department of Agriculture, and make it an execu tive department. The bill, as it passed the House, provided for the transfer ol' the weather bureau /rom the War Department to tho depurtment of Agriculture. This hus been struck out of thc bill by tile Senate commit lee. Tho Republicans of tim House have bucked down in a most inglo rious manner by declining to ac cept the proposition made thom by Represen tat! ve Mills to take a vote on tho substitute which tho Repub licans proposed offering, and thon ou the Mills tarift*bill, without fur ther discussion or amendment. This action on the part of the re publicans shows plainly that they were afraid the bill would pass if they allowed it to come to u vote without, further delay. The bill will, when taken up again, bo con sidered under the live minuto rule by sections. A ( this stage, amend-1 nieUtS will be in order. lt is not I lii-.rly that a final vote will bo reached before July. Members of the Senate Judiciary Com ir. lt too have received many ! letters urging tho continuation of Mr. Fuller as Chief Justice. The majority of those lid tors have come from tho Northwest, and quite n number of them were written by prominent republicans. Ile would have probably boen confirmed this week, bad not Senator lugnlls ask ed for further delny. It Is now be lieved that he will he confirmed next week.

A resolution providing for un in vestiga! ion'of the fur seal fisheries nf Alaska, by tho House Committee on Mendiant Marino and Fisheries, has been passed by the House. For many years Ibero have boon cbar gos mudo against Ibo Alaska fur Company, a corporation which bas a contract with tho Covernment that gives it a monopoly ol' catch ing HOI!Iv on the coast ol' Alaska. Up to the present timo this wealthy corporation has always been able to prevent any legislation looking toward u Congressional investiga tion, but now it is to dolloped that the committee will make un ex haustive inquiry into tho whole business und methods ol tho com pany. Mr. Springer, of Illinois, basin trod need a bill in tho House, piec ing on the free list all articles of merchandise the production of Whloh limy ho controlled by trusts and corporations, Thursday the corner-stone of tho Hew Catholic University in Ibis cRy was laid. Hon. Rosecrans, Register of the Treasury, was tho Chief Marshall ol' tho procession i which was an extremely largo one. The ceremonies were very impres sive, being participated in by Car dinal Uibbons,about thirty bishops, .nd nearly four hundred priests. ?lomo excitement was created here Wednesday by a report that lien. Sheridan was dangerously ill. Ile was and is still sick, bul not dangerously so. There will not probably beuny pc per frael ional currency is used nus reported against D e Househill providing thereof. In place of it, they hsve reported a bill reducing fee on postal notes in sums below One dulbil tootie cent. The Oppo sition of Secretary Fain bibi killed the fractional currency bill. Wednesday night lhere was great rejoicing among the democrats here} when tho news of the un qualified endorsement by the Penn?

Tito New York Tribune is in what niny bo mildly termed n Hiato of mimi linean .o tho Deninei'ilts of Laurens County, Mouth Carolina, have decided Unit tim I'rinuiry elections in that county shall be managed by wldtn mun, and that nooolorotl man shall voto at tin?, primaries who cannot prove that ho voted with the Dem?crata lu 1870, and has been a Democrat ev er 8?I1C0. Tho Tribune thinks (hal this Is quito as liad as any anti-ne gro legislation that can be fourni in Buenos Ayres, and llppliyng its at tention lo Ibu earnest endeavors of The News ami Courier to tum the tide of Immigration towards South Carolina, says that, if such efforts are to bear good fruit, the "while" Democrats of tho Hiato must pur sue a radically different policy to wards the "negro" voters. Il is respectfully submitted to the New York Tribune that Laurens County is but one ol thirty-four counties in So ith Candi na and that in tho other counties, nearly with out exception, thc colored Demo* oral stands on procisclp tho sam,' finding as the while Democrats. In Charleston for example, coloicd Democrats an- regularly nominat ed for public oilba- by white Demo crats, and arc elected hy the Done ocratic vote, irrespective of color. There is lite sumo condition of af fairs in Orangeburg County, lu Barnwell lhere are many' large (dubs of colored voters. This is ev idenee enough that South Carolina should md be condemned on ac count of thctictiou of the Laurens Democracy, if in that notion there were anything to condemn. bul there is not. 'Clio Democracy of j Laurens have a perfect right to manage their own political affairs in their own way and for their own advantage. If they consider it in any wise dangerous (Oallow largo bodies of colored people lo enter the Democratic organization and participate in the selection of Dem ocratic candidate-, they violate no law or rule, political or otherwise by their conduct, lt is md only in Sou I li ('tirol i tin, moreover, that tests are applied to (hose who desire lo join a political organization or to remain in it. Not long agi/ the Itepuhllcans, 1) the big eily which is only separat ed from the tall tower by the mam moth bridge, refused absolutely lo allow Mupwumps to be continued in political fellowship, Now, if there y.'ns a political reason for be ing cautious when the person's un der discussion bad offended by vo ting for Clo ve lom I instead of 1 thuin' there Is assuredly suMicient grounds for watching curofillly thu admission of uncertain colored people, who, Ifoxporlcncss teaches, cannot be depended on to volo wisely or w?dl.
