The Appropriation Likely to bs (J ranted.

SENATE.

The discussion was further continued by Cameron and Wallace, of Pennsylvania, Frelinghuysen and Sherman. The two latter favored stripping the bill of all restrictions, and making this a simple appropriation of $1,500,000:

Mr. McCreery offered the foll»w» ing as a substitute for the bill: That it be recommended to the people of the United States to assemble on the 4th of July next, in such numbers and manner as may be convenient in their respective cities, towns, villages, neighborhoods, or wherever they may be, publicly, to testify their joy at the one hundredth return of that auspicious day by suitable eulogies, orations and disccurse, or by public prayers and suoh religious services and ceremonies as may be appropriate to the occasion and sanctioned by their own conscience.

Mr. McCreery said the bill and his substitute were widely different, but they sought to reach the same end. His substitute, in every essential and every particular, was more in harmony with the spirit of free institutions. The American citizen, wherever he might be OH land and sea was invited to hail with joy our centennial anniversary, the hills of Canada wouid echo shouts of joy, and the cattle thieves of Mexico would fly from their stolen herds to secrete themselves in caves. [Laughter.] All our people would rally around the motto of equal rights to all, and exclusive privileges to none. The bill before the Senate was worse than sectarian. It was local. It was individual and personal. The donation cauld not go into the city of Philadelphia, but into the pockets of the stockholders in the centennial exhibition. Up to this hour the Government was free from any complications, and he had a hope that the Senate of the United States wonld rise to the dignity of its better days to spurn the whole thing, and vindicate the constitution of the country and rights of the people He had seen the orphan meekly retiring from the capitol without a cent, when it had bseu established that under one of the nations officers her house and her home had been distroyed. But she was not like a powerful corporation.

THE CENTENNIAL IN THE SENATE.

YESTERDAY AFTERNOON SESSION, Washington, Febuary 9. Edwards fellowed Morrill. He believed congress had the right to appropriate money for the centennial exposition under the constitution, as it was for the welfare of the United States, but it had been declared in the beginning that congress wonld not be called npon to make any appropriation. Our ministers abroad had not informed foreign Governments as it was intended they should do. that the Government of the United States was not responsible for the exhibition. He believed that now the ana couia not go on Government was bound to make the thought common courtesy appropriation, but thought that niaf tho ii ho

the mil]ioa and a half appropriation by this bill would not be sufficient to make the exhibition a "success, and congress would be called upon for a» nother million and a half, or possibly two or three millions. He gave notice that he oiler an amendment requiring thecontennial commissioners and board of finance to file with the secretary of the treasury an acceptance of the provisions af the bill before receiving the money*

Sargeat said he was willing that the bill should ba passed without amendment, but if amended at all, he gave notice that he would move to strike out the preamble.

She

had

no money to pay the press to urge her claims no organized lobby to plead her cause. The paramount advantage of his substitute over the house bill, arose from the fact that it iuvoked the religious elements.

Mr. Edmunds moved to strike out the preamble. It was rejected by a rising vote, yeas, 18 nays, 34.

Eaton moved to amend the clause in regard to the return of the appropriation by inserting the words, "to the stockholders on their capital stock," so it would read, "The appropriation hereinbefore made, shall be paid in full into the Treasury of the United States before any divi« dend of the stockholders on their capital stock or percentage of profits, shall be paid by the holders of said stock, &c.» Rejected,

Maxey spoke in favor of the bill, and Withers and Eaton opposed it.

Norwood, said he desired to speak on the bill, but was unable to §o on to-day. He moved that the Senate adjourn, Rejected.

Edmunds said he understood the senator from Georgia, was not well and could not go on to day. He it common courtesy required that the bill he laid over until tomorrow, that Senator Norwood might speak, he therefore moved that the senate proceed to the consideration of the executive business.

Mr. Merriman submitted a resolution the committee on rules be instructed to prebare and report an appropriate rule to toe senate to prohib it the annoyance of sending visiting cards to the senators while the senate was in session, laid over. The senate then went into executive session, and soon after adjourned.

MORNING SESSION.

Washington, Feb, 10.—Mr. Logan presented a telegram to himself from a leading merchant of Chicago, asking that in passing any act for the repeal of the bankrupt law, the Sen* ate will provide it shall take effect not later than July 1st, 1876. Rererred.

Cameun, of Wisconsin, introduced a bill establfshing LaCross Wisconsin as apart of the appraisal. Referred,

Mr. Frelinghuyseu, from the committee of judiciary, reported with amendments of the Senate bill, to the amendment of the 14th section of the act to establisn the judicial courts of the United States, approved September 24tb, 1789, in regard to the issue of writs of mandamus by thell, S. GOUrta, for ttio appointmp.r.t of persons to serve them, and collecting the tax for payment thereof. He said the bill passed both Hou*e and Senate last session, but for the want of time it did nof receive the approval of the President.

Meruman said the bili was of the same importance and he hoped it would be laid over that he might time to examine it after some discussion the bill was laid away until tomorrow.

revolution. The last and greatest •advantage of his substitute, was that the celebration under it would cost nothing. How could the country extricate itself from the embarrassment nnd difficulties which surround it.

Washington, Feb. 10.

The consular Appropriation bill being under consideration. Mr. Springer said that the people in the election of 1874 had a deliberate purpose iu view. What was this. Thev had meant economy and retorm in Government.jJThey had trusted l°nS to the party in power for it, had been disappointed, and so they had gone deliberately to work and sent a majority to the House which would respect and

carry

out the wishes of the peo

ple. In reply totMr. Garfields ecomiumon the State Department last week, he (Sprinper) undertook to prove that that department was no exception to the extravagance and peculations ol the other Departments of Government. In that connection he read items showing the amount of the contingent expenses charged by foreign ministers last year, in which Washburne figures were 83,650 Cushing's $8,000 and Schencks ?15,7C0,ihe latterjsum including $919 in gold for telegrams in one quarter. He also showed an allowance of §10,607

Mr. Baker while minister

to Turkey for presents made to TurKish officials. It used to be thought, he said, that presents, like kisses, wore reciprocal. He did not know whether or not it was so in this instance, but it seemed that the Turkish officials hud never once said "Turkey" to Mr. Ba ker. [Laughter.] Passing on_ to criticism on State papers, he ridiculed particularly the dispatches of J. Meredith Read, resident minister to Greece, in one of which Mr. Read described iu grandiloquent phases a ball given at Athens, at which be bad the honor of leading a contre dance with Queen Anne, from which he returned at 5 o'clock, singing, as he (Springer) supposed, that song which must

have

been

Greek in the ears of the Athenians:

Ve won't go home till morning. Till daylight doth appear." What be said must have been delightful sensations in the State department. When this dispatch was receivod from Read some of the oflicials there snould have sent him a dispatch:

"On

with the dance let joy be unconflned. jio sleep till morn, when youth and pleasure meet To chase the glowing hours with flying feet." [Laughter.] He then pictured Read

[Loud laughter.] lie would liko oue of the New York members to prouounce the last line in the Greek style. [Laughtor.]

Mr. Seeleye suggested to Mr. Springer the Latin maxim: "Omue iguotum pro magnifico."

Mr. Springer—Thank you, sir.thank you.

.[Laughter.]

Passing on to the

question of South American and Haytien missions, he read an article from the Chicago Tribune, charging the Minister to 1'Iayti with turning his residence into an asylum for rebels, and with issuing for the pay of naturalization certificates, and stating that the Minister to Peru had so little to do that he set up a pawnbroker's shop in Lima. He then criticised tho extravagant system ol'the dispatch agency in London, and also read from the report ot Mr, lveiua, traveling consular inspector, drawing a disgraceful picture of the American consulates abroad, He spoke of a large amount of official fees exacted by the the consuls and not accounted for to the Government, specifying particularly the consulate at London, where a fee of 62 cents was levied on over 4,000 invoices within the last quarter, such fees being for affidavits, and going into the consul's own pocket and the consulate at Liverpool, from which the incumbent had retired with a fortune of $300,000. He also mentioned the late consul at Cadi/., (Farwell,) who had broken up the wiue ring there, and had been rewarded for his fidelity and zeal by being dismissed and by being replaced by a man who said that he would not give tho Cadiz merchants anv trouble.

Cox, of New York, supported the bill as a bill of retrenchment. Some portions of his speech were very amusing and much enjoyed by the House. He concluded by declaring that commerce could not be revived by a MISERABLE, RASCALLY, CONSULAR SYS

TEM.

Commerce did not depend upon consulates, it depended on laws, or rather the repeal of laws. Let the taxes bo taken off and commerce would come, and the great art of ship-building, now almost a lost art in this country would revive.

Mr: Kelly said that no industry in this country had grown so well within the last few years as ship-building, and gave statistics to prove the assertion. He predicted that if the tariff bill reported from the Committee on Ways and Moans, and now pending in the House, became a law, the farmers of Illinois would burn their grain, and the workshops of the country he struck down and immigration be stopped. The passage of the bill and its reference had already paralyzed the few industries which the folly of Congress in contracting

the current,

had lefr. in a

prosperous condition. In a brief discussion as to the lurther course of tne debate, it was understood that Blaine would address the House to-morrow, promising to keep as near to the merits of the bill as Cox and Kelly had done, and that the general debate would close to-morrow.

The committee then arose and the House ad journed. MORNING SESSION.

The Toils Slowly Wimiiuj Arouml Mini.

St. Louis, Feb. 9.—fohn F. Liedentoff, the foreman at Ulrici's distillery, was put on the stand.

His testimony related to tho operations of tbe distillery of which ho was foreman, the manner in which the crooked whisky was made and disposed of, the amount of money paid to revenue officers, etc.

Rudolph U. Ulrici then took the stand. He said his foreman, Liedcntoff, had givon a good account of their operations, and addad some testimony about raising money to buy otr revenue agents who came hero and found irregularities.

There was nothing in either Ulrici's or Liedentoff\s evidence that has not been published several times, and it was repeated mainly to show tho existence ot a conspiracy. Thir can also be said of Fitzroy's testimony.

Just previous to the adjournment of the morning session, Mr. Storrs stated that the delense had intended to have tho personal attendance ot President Grant as witness, but as the case now stands he thought this would not be necessary, particularly as the exigencies of public affairs require his attendance at Washington. He then proposed to the counsel lor the prosecution, that they should meet with the counsel for the defense and agree upon questions and cross-questions to bej put to the President, and that the examination should be made before tbe Chief Justice of the Supremo Court.

Col. Dyer said he had no paiticular objection to such an arrangement if it should appear after examining the interrogatories of the defense that the Government could be as well served in this way as by the personal presence of the President.

Mr. Storrs stated that they hud their questions written out, and askt-d the court to prolong the noon sossiuu until three o'clock P. M., giving the counsel for the Government time to prepare their cross questions. This the court agreed to, and adjourned to three P. M.

On the reassembling of the court. District Attorney Dyer stated that the counsel for tbe Government had met the counsel for the defense regarding questions to be sent on to Washington, hut they had not had time to prepare their counter interrogatives. He therofore

asked

the court to adjourn until

to-morrow morning to afford both sides proper opportunity to arrange their questions and cross questions, and that counsel may leave to-night lor Washington, and arrive here in time to have deposition taken Saturday.

Judge Porter joined in this request for adjournment. Judge Dillon stated aW6° i£i inexpediency of the President absenting himself from Washington at this time, and as the proposed arrangement would probably save time, the court was ordered adjourned until to-mor-ning.

A consultation between the counsel in the Babcock caso this afternoon resulted in an agreement that the deposition ot President Grant shall be taken before Chief Justice Waite next Saturday afternoon, and the proceedings conducted like an examination in open court. Both sides will be represented by counsel. Maj. L. Eaton will act for the Government, but who will represent the defense has not yet transpired.

St. Louis. Feo. 10.—In tho- trial of Gen. Babcock to-day, the lirst witness put upon the stand was Wm. J. Bassett, a gauger in the ring. Bassett testified as to the operations which came under his observation in 1874, and the winter and spring of 1875. He acknowledged that while acting under instructions from the superior officers, he connived at frauds, and while at Bevis and Frazers rectifying house, and he used to find on Saturday eveniogs an envelope in his overcoat pocket containing from 100 to 200 two whisky barrel heads with thegauger's stamps upon them were produced in the court and the stub books from which the stamps were taken on comparison, and it was shown, in each case, tbat the stamp on the barrel was registered forty-six and a half proof gallons, while the corresponding stub reported five proof gallons to the collector for taxation. The witness also explained what is known among the revenue officers as form 122, and told how the disposition of illicit whisky was covered at the rectifying houses of Bassett. He was followed on the stand by Abijah M. Everest, who testified that he became the collector for the ring in August, 1874, and continued to act as such until the seizures in May, 1875. The collections during thai} time ran as follows: Each week Ulriois distillery $1,000 to $2,700 Binghams §500 to $1,500 Janetts $500 to $1,100 Chouletans $500 to $1100

Bevi3 & Frazers $1,000 to $2,700 coming down to the spring of 1875, either late in February or early in March. Everst said that tbat Joyce once sent him to the sub Treasury with a package of $2,000 in small bills to get two $1,000 bills. He brought them back and

Joyce, put tljem in invelopes and told him to take them across the street and put them in the letter box. The witness said he did so, and was asked if be observed the directions on the letters, but before he could answer, the defense interposed an objection, claiming that the prosecution were now trying to show that Babcocks name was on one of those letters, and that tbe evidence was not competent, A long argument ensued.
