PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS

A Day of More than Usual Interest in Both Ends of the National Capitol. Senator Test Makes a Few Pointed Remarks on the Value of Tablic Documents, and "Deacon" White Talks on Telegraphs. Washutotos', Fab. 9. Mr. Edmunds, from tbe committee on foreign relations, reported a bill to incorporate the Maritime Canal Company of Nicaragua, and aaid be would move to take it up as early next week aa he could get the floor. Placed oa the calendar. Amone other bill reported from committees and placed on the calendar were the following: Granting the right of way through the Crow Indian reservation , to the Billings & Clark's Fork railway; to divide a portion of the Sioux Indian reservation in Dakota into a separate reservation, and to secure the relinquishment of the Indian title to tie remainder; to provide for the Bale of the site of Fort Omaha, Neb., and for the porchaee of a new site. Mr. Manderson, from the committee on printing, reported aioint resolution for the disposition of undistributed copies of the records of the rebellion, the reports of the tenth census, and the reports of the Public Lands Commissioner. The resolution gave rise to a discussion, in the course of which Mr. Vest rave expression to sis ideas as the value of the publications of the Government Printing Office. lie said he had a room in Washington in which there were several hundred volumes of public documents, bound in calf at the expense of the government, which books he coold not give away. He could not trade them off. He could cot dispose of them unless he put them in the fire. He bad asked a dealer in second-hand books to maks a bid on them, and the offer was U for the lot the dealer thinking that the offer' waa a perscnal favor to him. The upper portion of the Capitol was crammed to the roof with books, and he had been informed by the ; architect that if a spark of fire touched that material the gas from it would blow off the roof. And yet there was a continual stream of these publications pauring out of the Government Printing Office. The money might as well be taken and thrown into the Potomac river. Mr. Teiler admitted that there was great -waste in that direction, but his experience was not like that of the Senator from Missouri. He Mr. Teller represented a community that was argely without library facilities, and he believed that there was not a book published by tbe government that the people of Colorado were not willing t take, and be never had as many as they were willing to tafee. The discussion was further participated in by Mr. Manderson. who suggested that Mr. Vest's statement was the best argument he had heard for the passage of the Blair education bill; by Mr. Aldrich, who suggested that Senators from the States interested in commerce and navigation would be glad to take allot Mr. Vest's documents on thosernubjects. and by Mr. Vest, who declined to contribute, directly or indirectly, to the campaign f nnds of the Republican tartr. An allusion by Mr. Saulsbury to "the President's messsge and accompanying documents" aa something which the people took no interest in, created much amusement on the Republican side of the chamber. Finally the joint resolution was passed. A bill was reported extending the criminal inrisdiction of the United States Circuit and )istrict Courts to the great lakes and their connecting waters. . Mr. Riddleberger's) resolution for amending, the rulea so as to allow the British extradition treaty to be considered in open session was reached in regular order. Mr. Kiddleberger explained that tbe British lion's tail having been twisted by a vote of 23 to 21, tbe passage of the resolution was no longer necessary. Senator Hawley and others called the Vireinian to order and he sat down, remarking as he did so that he supposed he had a right to say so much, and tbat he did not liko to be called to order every time he rose. Mr. Riddleberger's allusion was to a vote in secret session last night, by which consideration of tbe treaty was postponed to next December. Tbe resolution offered by Mr. Plumb, calling on the Secretary of War for information as to why adequate care is not taken of tbe military cemetery at Mcuud City, Kan., was adopted, as was also a resolution offered by Mr. Plumb, calling on tbe Secretary of the Interior for information as to charges made by registers and receivers of land offices f or, reducing testimony to writing. Tbe Blair bill was taken up as the unfinished business and laid aside. The bill to authorize the sale to aliens of certain mineral lands was then taken ud. and after a discussion turning principally upon the fact that none of the three Democratic members of the committee on mines and mining was present when tbe bill was under consideration in committee, and that the four Republican members of it (Stewart, Jones of Nevada, Mitchell and Teller) were all "from one corner," as Mr. Beck put it, a motion was made by Mr. Jones, of Arkansas, to refer it to the committee on poblie lands. Tbat motion was afterwards withdrawn, lest it might be regarded as a reflection on the committee on mines and mining, and Mr. Edmonds moved to recommit the bill to that committee, which was done. On motion of Mr. Morrill, the Senate joint resolution for the erection of a statue to the late Spencer F. Baird, secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, in front of the National Museum, and appropriating $15,000 for the purpose, was taken up, and, after some eulogistic remarks by Mr. Morrill, passed. Ou motion of Mr. Coke, the Senate bill to provide an additional mode of taking depositions of witnesses in cases pending in United States courts, was taken from the calendar and passed. The Senate bill appropriating $50,000 additional for tbe public building at Pensacola was taken up and became the text for a general discussion as to the erection of public buildings. Mr. Vest, from the committee on publiu buildings, stated, in reply to a question 'from Mr. Edmunds as to the aggregate amount of the bills for that purpose now before that commit tee, that he was unable to furnish the information, but that tbe tariff bill and the Blair bill would sink into insignificance as compared with the estimates for publie buildings. Tbe committee on publio buildings and grounds was now wrestling with the question, and hoped to report a general bill on the subject and get - rid of all log-rolling. , Mr. Dawes related his experience in regard to public buildings, mentioning tbe cases of tbe Su Louis postoce, where the original limitation of cost was $300,000, and where the actual cost has been $3,000,000; the New York postoffice. where limitations of cost were changed and increased three several times; and the Boston postoffice, where the cost bad run up to three or four millIons in the sameway. livery man connected with such increases of expend it urea should be, he said, indicted. Until somebody was indicted, and made to realize that the law was made to be obeyed by officials, tbe evil would not cease. Mr. Call said he observed that these spasms of economy always occurred in . connection with buildings in small States, and he explained tbe cause of the deficiency in connection with the Pensacola building. Mr. Plumb gave his hearty indorsement to the remarks of Mr. CalL The eity of New York had got six or seven millions fo. its postoiTice, and yet one of its newspapers, the otber day, had devoted an entire column to abuse of Congress for appropriating a few hundred thousand dollars for buildings in other parts of the country. He gave some amusing illustrations of how money appropriated for publio buildings Is wasted, on tbe principle of "a dollar for the dress and and ten dollars for the trimmings." There had be.en, last year, spent on the new library buildine in Washington over $33,0001 Mr. Dawes The plaee where the hole is. Mr. Plumb Yes. Tbe hole is a large one, and will carry into it, before the construction is begun, more than tbe sum of money originally appropriated for the building. He proceeded to read a list of tbe employes of the library building, including a janitor to watch (he supposed) "this hole in the ground;" a sculptor, and four women. It was very remarkable, he said, that tbe women seemed, in the report he was reading from, to be in charge of horses and carts. He declared his belief tbat there was no honest purpoie to complete tbat building within the contemplation of the act of Consress. Tbe discussion was continued by Senators Stewfctt. Vest. Hale, Morrill and Voorhees. The latter, ss chairman of the committee on the library tuilding, professed his readiness to reply to everycompliiint and criticism on that subject lis felt perfectly aecuro in the integrity of those in whose bauds the work was. He had therefore felt no panic and no haste in regard to the charges made. Mr. Plumb said that he woilld be glad to have the Senator trora Indiana, or anybody else, take up that list of expenses, including women employed to take care of horses and carta, and tell the Snate and the country whether snch " txnend;ture was justified. Ue. Sutler, a member of the library committee,

though there would not be the slightest diScnl tv in doing so.

After au executive session tbe Senate adjourned until Monday. Anderson's Telegrepl Bllt Under Debate. Washington.

Placed on.the House calendar. Mr. Tarsney, of Michigan, from the commit tee on labor, reported the bill for the adjust ment of accounts of laborers arising under the eight-hour law. Referred to the committee of the whole....' On motion of Mr. Ryan, of Kansas, a Senate bill was passed to relinquish the interests of the United States in certain lands in Osage county, Kansas. Mr. Nutting, of New York, offered a resolu tion reciting the resolutions adopted at a eon vention of seamen in Toledo, O., in January last, denouncing the overloading of vessels on the great iakes. and calling upon the Secretary of toe Treasury for information as to wnetner there is any rule, or order, or regulation of the J M.

Mr. Glass, of Tennessee, on behalf of the committee on agriculture, called up and the House passed a bill to. promote agriculture. It provides tbat such portions of the consular reports as refer to agricultural matters shall be trans mitted to the Commissioner of Agriculture for embodiment m his reports. . -l Mr. McCreary, of Kentucky, from the com mittee on foreign affairs, reported a joint reso1 - t - . 1 1 ) ' 1 A i - iuwun aufcuonzing ids rcesmeoi iu arrnnEU a conference for the purpose of promoting arbi tration and enconrazing reciprocal commercial relations between the United States and the republics of Mexico, Central and South Ameri ca, and tbe empire of Brazil. Placed - on the House calendar. A bill was passed amending the laws regulating: fees for exemplifications of land patents. The next bill on the calendar was tbat requiring the subsidized railroads to maintain and operate separate telegraph lines. Mr. Dockery, of Missouri, said the simple proposition in the bill, in plain, unvarnished -English, was to compel the Union and' Central Pacific companies to construct the telegraph lines required by their charters, instead of contracting with the Western Union, and giving a corporation a monopoly of telegraph franchises west of tho Mississippi river, lie believed that had the pending bill been a law last summer, the absorption of she Baltimore & Ohio Telegraph Company by the Western Union could not have been possible. He submitted that one of the most pressing investigations before Congress was the hedging about and restricting of the powers and encroachments of the Western Union Company. Mr. Anderson, of Kansas, the author of the bill, vigorously supported it. The railroad companies had bartered away their franchises by entering into a contract with the Western Union, by which the railroad companies refused to perform their telegraphic services, and by which they gave the Western Union an absolute monopoly over tbe Western half of the continent. Through the genius of the most unscrupulous pirate in th century, Jaybawk Gould, tbat monopoly had been created. Tbe pending bill was simply & proposition to interject a little bit of God's burning justice between the people and Jay Gould. The people of the country were praying for relief from the bowelless, merciless grind of the most extravagant, unscrupulous, piratical set of incorporated scoundrels on the continent. This bill was a square blow between the eyes of Mr. Gould, the Western Union monopoly, and eacb of the Pacific railroad companies, saying to them: "Gentlemen, there is power in wealth and power in the combination of monopoly, but there is more power in the arm of the American people, and you shall obey the law." " . Mr. White, of New York, said he" had a word of criticism to pass upon the title of tbe pending bill, which stated that tbe measure was supplemental to the various! Pacific railroad acts. If there had been perfect candor and tbe same free use of the United States tongue which had characterized the remarks of the author of tbe bill to-day, the measure would have been entitled "A Bill to Enable Congress to Get in Its Work Temporarily Against Jayhawk Gould and the Western Union Telegraph Company." All the bill contained in reality was three or four words in the first section requiring tbe Pacific railroads companies ''to exercise by themselves alone all telegraphic franchises." It was that word alone which furnished the gist of the bill and made it objectionable, first, on the ground of public policy, and, second, because the provision was repugnant to the Constitution as interfering with vested rights. This bill had been brought to the attention of tho Fortyninth Congress, in behalf of the Baltimore & Ohio Telegraph Company, when it found ii-iat it had telegraphed "not wisely but too well." That company had fallen into the omnium gatherum, and the Western Union had made a contrast by which it bought the stock of tbe Baltimore & Ohio company, and ran its lines in conjunction with its own. ' Mr. Dunham, of Illinois Putting up rates. Mr. White -Yes, nutting up rates and putting down rates. Honors are about easy on that point. Mr. White then argued that, viewing the matter in the light of publio policy, it was unwise for the government, which was the largest creditor or the Pacific railroads, and was interested in the management of that property, to enact legislation which would have tbe effect of reducing the profits of those roads. The result of the arrangement between the Western Union company and the Union Pacific Railroad Company had been to increase the telegraphic business of the latter company from $36,000 a year to $110,000 a year, and at the same time tbe price had been reduced from $150 for messaees from San Francisco to Omaha to $1 between San Francisco and any otber place in the United States. He then proceeded to make a legal argument to the effect tbat Congress had no right to interfere with contracts lawfully entered into. Tbe matter then went over, and the discussion will probably be resumed Saturday. Adjourned. Patrimonial. St. Louis, Feb. 9 Miss Blanche E. Thome, the leading lady of the "Held by the Enemy" company, now playing at the Olympic Theater in this city, was married this afternoon to Mr. David C Johnson, the well-known book-maker and horseman of the firm of Appleby & Johnson, of New York. The ceremony was quietly performed, in tbe presence of a few friends, at Trinity Episcopal Church, the rector. Rev. Edward Benedict, officiating. Miss Thorr.e will close her engagement with the "Held by tbe Enemy" company at Louisville, on the 25th iust., when she will retire permanently from tbe stage and accompany her husband to New York to live. The Marietta Centennial. Cincinnati, Feb. V. The action of the Ohio Legislature in settirg apart the loth of July next, tbe centennial anniversary "of the establishment of civil government in the Northwest Territory, as a day to be celebrated, will in no way interfere with the celebration, in April next, of tbe centennial anniversary of the first settlement at Marietta.

INDIANA AND ILLINOIS NEWS

Terre Halite's Law-and-Order People Degin to Seethe End of Their Work. . Montgomery County Sunday-School Union Enn Over by a Freight Car and No Bones Broken Fired Upon from Ambush. INDIANA. After st Long Fight the Terre Haate Law-snd-Order People X In Victory, fpecial to tbe Indianapolis Journal. Tekbb Haute, Feb. " 9. It will be a year in May since the fight began to redeem the good name of Terre Haute and remove the condition of things that had. given it the reputation of being the widest-open town in the State, and it now looks as if by May this year the city will be as much under the rule of law and order as any city in the State. The memory of the oldest inhabitant runneth not to the contrary when Terre Haute saloons were open day and night and Sunday too. Unlike other cities, there have been no periodical efforts to enforce , tbe law. Publie sentiment has always been very lenient with the saloons, and so long as there were no astounding crimes attributable to their wideopen habits the people raised no objection.. Last May, however, ; the professional gamblera and the all-night saloon people undertook W capture the city government by the re-electfoh of the Democratic Mayor and Council that bad refused to respond to the- mild request '.to call a halt on the policy that bad grown to be a little too wide open. , Public i gamblingrooms were opened in some of " tu,e saloons and were operated in equally as public way as was the cigar and bar business of the .establishlishments. Young men went and came, without the least effort to keen their going and,coming from being a matter of publie information. The faro banks were running night and dayand the. police chiefs stood guard. Clerks weragetttng in trouble at their places of eroployment,and at their boarding-houses. Men in business were suffering in business credits by too constant attendance on these crowded gambling "dsns. Their losses were a matter of street gossip." and their ultimate failure in business predicted von all sides. Tbe ring carried the election, o and that night there was pendemonium in '-Terra Haute. It was a grand drunken jollification over the success of money at the polls, and,, was frankly claimed to be a "wide-open" victory. The Express then began the fight foretter things. The police board refused to act.; -?Tha heads of the police force were? openly , -i - in, commnnioation with the gamblers, but gradually the constant reiteration of the story of the city's disgrace brought an awakening of public sentiment that forced'fhe police board to order the saloons closed ai, 'midnight and gambling to . cease. . It was the first time in a generation that no open saloon could be found in Terre Haute after midnight. The-wiae-open people were not convinced tbat a change was coming over Terre Haute, and used their influence to have the police board removed and one of their own kind appointed. This board publicly announced that gambling-rooms could be kept open. This was the last straw. .The people, "liberal" people, too, said there must be a halt called, and the Council, obeying the -demand, turned out this police board and cboae one that is now enforcing the law. About this time a number of substantial citizens got together and organised a Law and Order League. They determined tbat their operations should he conducted in secret. They increased their, membership much as Masonry receives members, until to-day it has over 100 members of the best men in the city of both political parties. They intend tbat at tne coming city eiectCop. none but law-and-order men shall be elected '.to tbe Council. Tho latest step in the reactionarymovement was the introduction in tbe Council of an ordinance fixing a license fee of $100 a year on retail liquor dealers, and, though it did not get favorable action at the meeting Tuesday night, no one who sees the the way the wind is blowing doubts that it'wiljf be passed in a short time. Terre Haute is the only city in the State tbat has no license law. . Montgomery County Sunday-School Union', fineeial to tbe Indianapolis Journal. Grawfordsvii.us, Feb. 9.
