SENATE

VfiSTEItDAY AFTERNOON'S SEiSTON.

Washington, Jan. 20.

Mr. Weat introduced a bill to amend the Pacific Railroad ac's of July 1st and July 2d, 18G4. It provides that from and alter its enactment all the Pacific Railroad Companies shall bo liable to pay into the Treasury of the United States the whole amount of ,i itorest horetofoie paid by the Government in bonds loaned to tliem to aid the construction of their roads, togeThcr with interest upon the several sums paid by the Government in discharge of interest on said bonds, at a rate of blank per cent., per annum from date of payment, less the amount retained by the Government for mail transportetion which shall be credited in the account every six mouths: The bill further requires respectively to deposit in the United States Treasury ten days proceeding the maturity of the sbuii-ahnual interest on the United States bonds loaned such sums as addled to the amount then dxie each company for mail services will amount to •. the semi-annual interest then tailing due. Referred.

Mr. Morton said the task which bo had atttended was not a pleasant one, "but he was in performance of what he regarded as a high duty, and no more important question could be presented to the Senate than the one now under ^consideration. He inquired whether the majority of the people of the State could be overthrown by violence and fraud, and whether two important amendments to the constitution of tbe

United States could be violated with-' out notice. He asked the Senate to listen to the evidence which he would pro•duce, and desired-to state in the beginning that it was from a Democratic source. He then spoke of the financial condition ol the State, and said it had been expressed that the Government had been extravagant beyond question, and in Mississippi this had bean made an excuse for the murder and outrage. He stated that in 1870 the Republican party-found the State destitute and prostrate, and eatraordinary expenses had to be incurred to lift it out of th:s condition. He compared the condition of the State under the Democratic rule with the situation during the Republicans'cotroll of affairs, and claimed tbo Republican administration was tar superior to the Democratic in honesty and economy. The Government,he said,had donated land to Mississippi which has

4been

squandered. The school fund

^Jiad been stolen, anJ now tho white liners in Mississippi .educated this .w:&y pretended to be outraged by the present State Governmant, and wanted to be relieved of it. He next road from

Governor Tucker's message, to show that reckless extravagance prevailed in Mississippi before the war, and said he had more material of the same cbaracter, but did not think it necessary to take the time of the Senate in reading more. He then referred to tha condition of affairs attending the recent election, and read extracts from the State newspapers to show that bad feelings existed* regarding colored troops. •.He said Governor Ames, had but five companies of colored militia, and he found they could not be used to keep the peace* The Chairman of the Democratic State Committee went to Governor Ames and told him if ho would disarm the colored troops, the peace ol the State should be preserved. Governor Anaes di'd disarm them, but all on tho Democratic side retained theirs.

He next read letters Irom Dr. H. Y. Red field, to the Cincinnati Corsmercial, and said Dr. Redfield was an ardent Democrat, but a man of great intelligence, and, he believed a good man.

Mr. Morton denied that there bad been any decrease in the value of property in Mississippi, and urged that it had increased in value instead that land was leased to colored people in that State at a price equal to its assess-, ed valuation. At this point, Mr. Morton said he had been suffering from a sore throat, and would not be able to conclude his remarks to-day. He therefore asked that bis resolution be allowed to go over, and it was so orderd.

The Senate then took up the resolution to continue in force the joint rules for the government of th9 two Houses of Congress, the pending question being on the motion to except the twen-ty-second joint rule in regard to counting the vote for President and Vice 1 President.

Mr. Bayard submitted a substitute for the resolution submitted by him yesterday, instructing the Committee on the Rules of the Senate and House of Representatives to examine, and after the conference, repcrt what amendments, if any, should be made to the present joint rules for the government of the two Houses of Congress and

5

also whether any and what legislation is expedient in regard to the matters contained in the twenty-second joint y* rule. ,-ia? Mr. Bayard saiu that the people of this country, for the last two rresiden tial elections, had hanging over them

choice. He thought the present twen-ty-second joint rules should never have been adopted, now it was seen that it might be exercised by others than those for whom it was intended, and a change was proposed. The rule should nover have been allowed to exist and be wished it to be destroyed now, although he knew that the party with which he was in political affiliation, had power under which to declare who should be the next President and Vice-President of the United States, They had no right to any such power, *except as provided by the constitu

11

Mr. Edmunds said he would favor the substitute of the Senator from Del aware as an independent resolution, He hoped that the amendment of the Senator from Indiana, excepting the twenty-second joint rule, would adopted now, and all other joint rules bo agreed.

The substitute of Mr. Bayard was rejected, and the amendment of Mr, Morton was agreed to, and the resolution continuing in force, the joint rules a? amended by Mr. Morton were adopt ed*

Mr. Bayard then submitted a re3olu tioa instructing the committeoonrjulej

tion is expedieut in regard to the matter3 considered 'in the twenty-second Joint rule. Laid over,

Mr.

Sargent introduced a bill in re­

gard

to the postal routes, post offices and post roads. It provides that every railroad in the United States and Territories shall be considered in law to be a postal route, and that every person or association desiring^ to do business with any railroad company, or along side of any railroad, shall enthe same rights, facilities and privileges as may now or hereafter be enjoyed, allowed or conceded to any other corporations, associations or persons.

Sargent introduced a bill conferring certain privileges on telegraph companies, provides for the establishment of a new postal. telegraph system, of which the following are the main features. Every postoffiee ia tho United States situated at a point on any telegraph line also bs a telegraph station, at which any telegraph company maintaining such line may establish and operate its instruments of any case, it is apparent that the duties ot the postmaster and telegraph operator could be performed by one person. The Postmaster Gsneral may appoint a sutitable person for both duties, and all postmasters shall receive messages for transmission by telegraph, and cause them to be- delivered. The telegraph company paying. to the C»evernment a postago of one cent on each. The charge for telegraphing all messages, to be received at or delivered from postofiires, sb?.ll be fixed by the Postmaster General, but must not exceed the following: For ten word messages-, less than two hundred miles, ten cents for distances betwoen 250 and 500 miles, fifteen cents, from 500 to 1000 miles, twenty-five cents and for all greater distances, fifty cents the address aud signature to be free of charge, and for additional words .rates to be in like proportion. Tho bill, however, authorizes any such felegraph company to maintain other offices in important towns or places for the receipt, transmission aud delivery of messages of an important character, and to charge for them higher than the foregoing, provided that the Government business shall have precedence whenever the head of any Executive Department so requests, and that it shall be done at the lowest rat^fixed by this bill. The Government is to have the right to purchase any line accepting the -privileges of this bill at any time, whether three years after commencing operations under it,. ^jMLa.QUaal cbi3t with six percent., intei^SE^^med.

HOUSE

a

power by which either House of Concress coula have defeated -the popular

YK8TKRDAY AFTERNOON SESSION. fis Washington, Jan. 20. The centennial bill under consideration.

Mr. Stinger, of Pennsylvania, followed, in opposition to the bill. Alluding to the smallness of the subscription throughout the country to the centennial fuqd, he said that Congress was asked to pass this bill while the people of the Union have said, by their refusal to subscribe, that they were not able to subscribe.

Mr. Felton opposed the bill, but said that his opposition- was influenced by no vote in the House on the question of amnesty. If the House bad seen fit to perpetrate a wrong, that was no rea son why he should voto against his convictions. His opposition to the bill was. not opposition to the centennial exhibition he wished success to the exhibition and trusted that it would be the means- of fraternizing the long estranged sections of the country he was opposed to the bill because it was in direct conflict

lk°

resolutions adopt­

ed by the House, on motion of the gentleman from Indians (Holman) he regarded that vote as a contract between representatives and their constituents a contract ratified by universal approval. To vote for the bill would be in his opinion, a violation of th contract. It nail beon too long the custom to sneer at. a constitution as something obsolete but while it had lain like tho dry-bones ef Ezekid, the peoplei had once more breathed upon tnoBe bouea and it would not belong wr°

a

would bo seen comlriar to

jron^irrriwwywq

bone, and principles of that old Constitution would rise a living enemy to do battle once more fyr human freedom.

Mr. Jones, of Kentucky, spoke in support of the bill, as a measure iu the interest of peace and amity.

Mr. Cook spoke against tho bill, and argued that as the Government must be just before they are generous, the §60,000,000 of taxation wrested- from the South during the war, should be restored belore the passage of the bill.

Mr. Banks spoks in favor of the bill as not only constitutional, but as a measure of absolute necessity. Could Congress and the President invite thir-ty-eight foreign powers to come here and celebrate that anniversary, aud Congress not have a right to grant one dollar or one dime to defray the expenses of their entertainment he would not support any measure thai he believed to be in any sonse unconstitutional, but he was not by any means a strict constitutionalist. They had seen the unfortunate result of the strict construction of the people of Naples. Should they undertake to strap down the volcano of Vesuvius, what would be the result? Just exactly what the strict construction of tho constitution brought to this country,confusion, misery and death. While the constitu tion sh.exild be closely adhered to, it must not be denied that it had some life, and that there were some things which this Government might do and some things which it must do. Banks closed with a plea for the restoration ot peace, the fraternization of sections, and the re-establishment of that unity and loyalty which is indispensable in the maintenance of a Republican Government.

Mr. Swan spoke in favor of the bill, and said that in voting lor it he and his colleague would represent the wishes of the people in their State.

Without action on the bill, tho committee rose, and the House adjourned at. 4:3t, it being understood tliat eulogies on the late Vice President Wilson, would prevent the vote being tak^n.^n the bill to-morrow.

MORNIG SESSION.

Washington, Jan., 21.—The. House Committee on appointments has unanimously decided to report.adversely on the bill appropriating ?222,793 to pay the interest on 365 District of Columbia bonds upon the ground that Congress is bound to extend only that interest shall be paid and that a9 800,000 or the sum appropriated remain in the District Treasury, a pait of this should be applied to the payment of the interest and that hereafter the interest should be paid from the District current receipts. Committee ot Ways and Means gave a hearing this morning to the deputation from the United States Brewers Association in favor of the passage of the bill introduced.

By Mr. Kehr, of Missouri—To abolish the rule of the Revenue Department which fixes 2}£ bushels of malt as the maximum quantity allowed for tiie production pr a 31 gallon barrel of beer or ale, and makes the assessments of brewer's returns show an excess of malt over the quality of beer produced. The officers from the Internal Revenue Department present, assented to the .pro positeon^ofthe. brewers..

The bill was^paased yeas 142, nays 100. The House then took action on the usual resolutions in honor of the late Vice President Wilson.

Mr. Holman asked tho unanimous consent of tho House to -extend the privilege of the floor to the delegation of Indiana editors during the eulogies to be pronounced. Adopted /vi-

Mr Knott from tiie Judiciary Committee reported a bill for a rilire on full pay of Judge Wilson McCandless, of tho Western District of Pennsylvania in cousequence of the Ph3'slcal disability notwithstanding he has not attained the age of 70 years.

Mr. Lawrence opposed the bill as establishing dangerous preceedent. Mr. Kuott remarked that a lew years ago Congress deemed it wisp to make provision that the United iStates Jtigdas on reaching the age of 70 years might retire on their pay after having served 10 years, if that law was just and wise it was impossible for him to conceive the injustice and wisdom of passing this bill for the relief of a servant who had served twenty years who lacked but two or three years of a necessary age and whose physical disabilities would yrevent his louger occupation of the bench with justice to public interest as to the propriety of civil, pension laws, his Democratic side of the House was not responsible, it was on the statue book now, and the present bill was simply to extend its benefit' to one who was certainly entitled to it if any one.

Mr. Holman said that no act had ever passed Congress which was so much against the special and genius of American institutions as the act to pension Judges. In early days of the Republic such legislation would have been

deemed

simply impossible,

The original law was extremely liberal, and he oqjected to extending the provisions of an unwise measure beyond its original scope.

The passing of the bill was advo* cated by Frye, Hopkins, and Conger. Tho last named called the attention to the fact that under the easting law this Judge was not compelled to resign or retire, there was no one to preform the duties of office. 0 3

The Times Approves,

London, Jan. 21.—The Times which yesterday, in a financial article, rejected to Senator Sherman's proposition, looking to common unit for money and accounts for thei United States and Great Britain, to-day, editorially, approves the measure. It says: America in returning to specie payments will almost enter upon new phase of monetary. developement there. Therefore the change in the American standard of value will in value no serious shock to BO* cial and commercial arrangements, such as would ensue upon the. alteration in value of the British sovereign. The propesition will open no less a prospect tban the establishment of a common monetrry system for the Engl.sh speaking people,

Loiadon,- Jan. 20.—The Paris, correspondent of the Daily News, reports that M.

He added: Doubtless the public condemns the government's policy, but the certainty of the governments Overthrow does not console me for the humilation of thinking that such official outrages are possible only in.

WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS.

He says that his continuance in command would lead_ to irremediable disputes. He advi8e9 thd insurgents to persevere until the Turks are expelled from province.

The Deutsche Zeitung reports that Hubtnayer, the leader ot the insur-« rection'in Northwest'Bosnia, has been murdfefed bysupposed ageuts of the Servian Government. Ljnbobratich and Hubmayer are both Austrians.

OUR SPANISH NOTE.

London, Jan. 20.—A telegram from Berlin says no Spanish circular note has been received here replying to the American circular concerning Cuba. So far, various powers have made no representations of Spain. The American circular did not contain any declarations liable to effect friendly relations between Spain and the United States, its mere acknowledgement by Europeon powers would not induce the United States to take any futher steps. Consequently it is not expected that this incident will lead'to any complications.

AN AUSTRIAN NOTE.^

Paris, Jan. 21.—LeTemps says ac» cording to private information from London, England adheres to the Austrian on the following conditions* The ihaintence of the integrity oi the Ottoman empire, recognition of the Sultan's independance, submission of the proposed reforms to the sultan as simple, observation, aud friendly counsels each power presenting the note seperately and the pressure to be exercised on the insurgent and on Servia and Montenergo. As soon as the Sulton shows a readiness to adopt the reforms, Austria will as'sent aud tnen the name and interest of the

FRENCH ASSEMBLY,

Versailles, Jan. 20.—At a sitting of the permanent committee of the assembly today, y^e left complained that the perfects were influenceing the: elections.

M. Buffet refused to discuss the subject, alleging that he did not desire to anticipate a debate on the ver ification of elections in' the new aa« sembly, He only admitted that the committee had a right to summon the present assembly, if it saw fit. He maintained the legality of his instructions to the prefects in relation to the press, which were to the effect that the licenses of newspaper dealers may be revoked in case the legal regulations were not complied 'with' If the left disapproved they could appeal to the tribunals.

The left protested against the. min' ister's course, and the matter was dropped.

M. Buffet likewise refused to make any explauation in regard to thesuppression of a banquet to M. Gambetta at Marseilles, or to take notice of the report that the government fa* vored a Bonapartist candidate in the department of Girondc.

TURKISH AFFAIRS.

London, Jau. 20.—The Times this morning publishes a letter from Vienna containing the following details In regard to matters in the northern province of Turkey: In consequence of the Turkish operations on the Monieaegro frontier, the Prince of Montenegro summoned a council of Senators ane military officers, which

reeolved that If the 'concentration of Turkish forces on the frontier, is to take such proportions as to really carry into effect the reported plan of blockading Montenegro, it wili be considered a causus belli,, and the prince should summon all the Montenegrins to duty, and march into Herzeeovinia. That in the meantime Montenegro will keep an expectant attitude, and not disturb the peace of Turkish operations, or develope anything more serious than the present situation. This resolution, it seems, w'as chiefly taken for its moral eflcct on the Sublime Porte and the Montenegrins. The latter are highly dissatisfied with what they consider the undecided and timid policy of the prince. THE ENGLISH ANTI-SLAVERY SOCIE­

TY LOOKING AFTER CUBA. London, Jan. 21.—The anti-slavery socieiv in their movements to LordDerby, say that they have reliable information that Spain is billing to put Cuba in the same ralation as Canada occupies towards England, on condition thatslavery be retained. They point'out that iu view of the recent American circular the obstacles no longer exists, which was advanced by Lord Derby last year,, that England's interference on the Cuban question would cause jealousy iu the United States. The Lancet reports that on Friday last the Pope, after the fa tiguing receptions, complained that he did not feel well and had an epileptioel secure which lasted forty minutes, since then he has been confined to his oed. Although the con* ditlon of his health requires vigilant attention on the pari of his phj'sician, any reports that hij illness is dan&eious are groundless.

Cabinet Session on tho Cuban Question. Washington, Jan. 21.—-The Cabinet session to-day lasted nearly two hours. The Cuban question was tho subject of discussion, but its consider"!ion was not attended by any circu instance of unusual importance. The Cuban corrospohdence shows tbe last letter of Mr. Fish to Mr. Cushing to b« November 5, Reviewing the situation he says that it ie now the desire of this Government to satisfactorily adjust alto questions, and in this desire we have been patient almost to the-limits of endurance. He insists that tSpain shall bring Gen. JJnrnel to trial in accordance with tho protocol, that In reference to all pending questions the relations with are Spain endangered by delay and that as to all equally, that tho Spanish Government should .be informed that maintenance of good relations with Lhia Government depend on satisfactory, and a conclusive adjustment telegram Irom Cushing, .Nov: 10. says the Spanish Government repeats the assurance of the trial ol i'.nrriel.

Washington, Jan. 21.—The! Senate Conirnitteo on Privileges andlillectiohs have considered Morton's blil to provide for counting votes for President and Vice Presidents. No conclusion was reached, but the opinion of a majority of the committee seemed to be that tbe ponding discussion in the Senate on tho abolition of the twenty second joint rule, renders it nece&sary to press Morton's bill'at present.

The committee subsequently took up Mr. Morton's resoluiion providing lor the investigation of the late Mssissippi election. Quite a long 'discussion of somewhat general character occurred and considerable opposition to the. res.a
