YBSTEUDAY AFTERNOON'S SESSION. Washington, Jan. 17. Continuation of the discussion of Mr. O'Brian's proposed amendment to the coostitutiou.

A large number of Democrats oted with the Republicans in favor of the motion, but the more prominent of them voted against it.

Mr. Holman moved to suspend the rules and adopt the resolution, declaring it unwise and inexpedient at this time, that a specific and arbitrary period should be prescribed by law at which the legal tender notes of the United States should be paid in coin by the Secretary of the Treasury, and that therefore the act entitled an act to provide for the resumption of specie payment, approved January 14th, 1875, ought to be repealed and instructing the committee on banking and currency, at as early a period as practiceable, to report to the house a bill for that purpose. The rules were not suspended. Yeas, 112 nays 158.

Cox, from the committee on rules, reported back the proposition introduced some weeks since by Holman, to amend the rule governing the offering of amendments to the general appropriation bills, so as to make the rule read: No appropriation shall be reported in such general appropriation bills or in order as an amendment thereto for any expenditure not previously authorized by law except in continuation of appropriation for such public works and objects as are alraady in progress, nor shall any provision auy such bill or amendment thereto changing the existing law be iu order except such •as being germane to the subject matter of the bill, shall retrench said e~« penditure.

Along discussion on the proposed change, which was opposed on the Republican side by Banks, Garfield, Hale and Casson on the plea that it would enable the committee on appropriation to control partically all departments of the government, and was defended on theJDemocrat side b/ Cox, Holman, and Randall, on the plea that it was in the interest of econemy, that it only placed proposi* tions to reduce the expenditures on the same footing as propositions to iucrease, aud that.it gave ho additional power to the committee on approbations, inasmuch as its action could be only recomendatory.

In the course of the discussion Randall,

having

spoken of the desire

of the Committee on Appropriations to push into the way of retrenchment was told by Banks that we (the. Republicans) will push you into it,even to the extent of cutting down the salaries of the members to which Randall replied that we (the Democrats) will come to that at the proper time.

The new rule was adopted yeas, 156 nays, 102, nearly a party vote. After some remarks by Hardenburgh in favor of the bill, the committee rose without action.

HORNING SESSION. Washington, Jan. ISth.

The chair laid before the senate. Communication from secretary ot' Interior enclosing -the report from the commissioner of Iudian affairs in answer to the Resolutian of Senate of the 13th. inst, in regard to the books kept by Indian Agents in compliance with section ten of Indian appropriation bill for ending June 30th. 187G. Oadered printed and lie on table.

Mr. Thurman/presented the credentials of James B. Eustis, claiming a seat as Senator from Louisiana, which he sent to the clerks desk, and had read.' The document consisted of long extracts of the proceedings of the Louisiana Legislature. Before the reading was finished," Mr. Coukling inquired who certified to these papers.

Thurman replied. The papers were volumous and it was necessary to read them: They were artified to by the tpeaker and clerk of Louisiana House of Republicans and Senators who presided at joint meeting.

Mr. Conkling said that the act of Congress stated that the credentials of one claiming a seat in this body, must be certified by the Governor of the State. He argued that the papers just presented in the Senate did not present a firm faced case, and not being his credentials were authorized by the statue, he submitted that they ought j^ot to be read as stichiYf the Senate, •Mr. Morton said he was not in the Senate when the papers purporting to be credentials of Mr. Eustis were read. He asked that the matter be laid over until to«morrow morning.

Thurman said these papers showed title of Eustis to seat. He did not ask to have him sworn on them but only asked to have his case referred to Committee on privileges and electsons, Mr. Conkling argued that papers presented were irregular and were papers upon it which the Senate could not act as constitutionary Prima Fucie case.

Thurman denied that the papers were irregular unless it was absence of Governor's certificate and that he submitted was not an irregularity act of Congress. It had been strictly complied with in the election of Eustis,the papers showed that the majority of aggreate numbea of members of the two, Houses were present and also that the majority of those members voted the whole question before the Senate would turn an act as to whether or not a vacancy existed in the Louisiana Senatorship. If the Senate should decide that Pinchbach was entitled to a seat, there would be an end to these papers, but on the other hand if the Senate should decide that Pinchbock was not entitled to a seat the claim of Eustis must be considered.

Mr. Sherman suggested that the papers be printed in record as if they had been read in the Senate and the matter be lail over till to-morrow,so the Senate could go on with morning business. Now this suggestion was agreed to, aud it was ordered

that

the papers be printed in record, and laid over until to-morrow. The chair laid before the Senate the memorial of the Democratic Conservative Committee, of Louisiana, held July 6th, 1876, concerning the election and condition of the State of Louisiana. Referred.

Randall raised a point of order on the resolution, which was overruled, and the House proceeded to vote on suspending the rules,, which was defeated.

He proposed that tbe vote should be first taken on striking out the clause excluding Davis from-the amnesty, and ilien onthe passage of the bill.. The vote was yeas 165, nays 110. Several Democrats voted aye. A similar resolution will be again offered from the Republican side.
