and appropriating $1,200,000 for the pur
pose, was ODiected to oy Mr. uocKreu oe-
cause it would lead to debate, and it went
over witBout action. An objection was also
made to it by Mr. Vest because it contained
the words -"local reDresentatives:" under
which, he said, the benefits of the bill would
go largely to claim agents.- The words
personal reDresentatives were suggested
by Mr. Evarts as a substitute for "legal
representatives" and were accepted by Mr,
Vest, but the bill went over so as to allow
further examination of it. ' v
Among tha bills of a publio character
that were passed were the following: -
To settle and adiust the claims or anv

iense of the United states during tne war

Mr. Blair, from the Committee on Civil
Service and Retrenchment, reported a bill
providing, (in appointments to civil ser
vice in certain cases), for the preference of
persons wno were engaged in the military
or naval service of the so-called Confeder
ate States during the war of the rebellion.
and who were disabled therein and were
not dishonorably i discharged therefrom.
The bilt provides that whenever persons
who were not loyal to the United States
during the war Bhall be appointed to office
in the civil service, those who were not
dishonorably discharged from the military
or naval service of the Confederate States,
and who are suffering from wounds or dis
abilities rt suiting from such service, shall
be preferred to other persons not shown to
have been loyal to the United States during
the war. ' I " '
Mr. Piatt.' having asked that the title of
the bill be again read, remarked that it was
a pretty unfortunate title, and objected to a
second reading of the bill, which thereupon
went over until to-morrow.

Mr. Blair, wno yesterday introduced a
bill giving nreference for civil service ap
pointments (among meu wno naa peen dis
loyal during tne wari, to inose wno naa
served In the Confederate Army, and who
were suffering from wounds or disabilities,
asked Mr. Piatt, who had objected to a sec
ond reading of the bill," to wundraw nis
nhiRRtion. ''Si.' Si
Mr . Piatt said tnat ns coma not oDjeci
J . . . . .. . . 9
to the bill being read a second time to-day
and referred to the committee.' His objec
tion yesterday had been based , upon what
seemtd to be an inference, from the title
of the bill. ? ' ! - - --
Mr. Blair remarked that the object or tne
bill was simply to nrovide that in appoint
menu to civil service, made from among
those who had been disloyal,, preference
should be given to those who were suffer
ing from wounds or disabilities resulting
from service in the army of the Confede
racv. He had introduced the bill in entire
rood faith. He understood that in the
State of North Carolina there were to-day
20 000 ex-soldiers of the Confederacy who
had lost limbs in service, and that a very
large number of them were in poor circum
stances. It seemed to bim that if the gov
ernment under this administration or under
anv other administration gave appoint'
ments to men who had been disloyal, the
preference should : be given to those who
had served in the Confederate Army and
were now disabled, other things being
Debate on Mr. Blair's bill Was continued
up to 2 o'clock, when at his suggestion the
h 11 went over till to-morrow wiuiout ac
tion Rneeches were made by Messrs
Piatt, Hale, Berry; Blair, Hoar, Riddleber-
fer, Hampton, George, aianueraon, uaniei
nd TTawlfiT. m - ! :
( Southern Senators, while expressing the
ftrinriiipat fnp.linira for the generosity and
nhilanthrnnhv which had9orompted the in
troduction of the bill, disclaimed all desire
pn the part of ex Confederates ior me pas
sage ot any such exceptional measure; but
thought as a matter of courtesy and uni
formity of practice, the bill should be read
a second time and referred . Northern Sen
ators were of one accortf ' in condemning
the measure as unwise and ill-considered.
In the course of - debate, Mr. Blair re
peated that the bill simply made discrimi
nation among those who had been disloyal,
giving preference to the man who had
served in the confederate army and been
disabled, as against the man who had also
been disloyal, but who had 'not served in
tne army. ' - .v .- - , v-;.-"-; , "-
ur. Hale said it is made a merit by this
bill that the applicant for office had served
in the Confederate army, and had there
been disabled. He for one would not con
sent to any such discrimination ia favor of
Confederate soldiers as had been -made in
the statutes in favor of Federal soldiers.
Mr. Blair said that the bill had origi
nated with himself after conversations with
various parties, and from information de
rived from various sources, as to the con
dition of wounded Confederate soldiers in
the South. There were many of them wbo
were not only grievously wounded, but
were in great destitution. r -
Mr. Hoar was very much gratified to
learn, both from the Senator from New
Hampshire and the Senator f ram Arkan
sas, (Berry), that the proposition had not
come from ex Confederate soldiers or from
anybody representing them. There was no
occasion, therefore, to enter at this time on
a discussion as to whafc-wouldor would not
be proper in treating with taia class of citizens-.
- Many of that crass were in the Sen
ate, and had the respect and friendship of
their associates. - He did not believe tbat the
pending measure would - ever have come
from gentlemen representing states for
merly In rebellion. : . '
Mr. Hampton expresscd-great gratification
at the generous action of the Senator from
New Hampshire in introducing the bill.- It
was a bold, kind and generous act on nis
part - Still, he (Hampton) would vote
against the bill. No Confederate soldier
had asked for the passage of any such bill.
his own opinion was that ia appointments
to .Federal offices the Government should
seek a man who was bet qualified to per
ioral tne duties or tne omce. -
Mr. Georee said tbat the Question before
the Senate was not as to the bill. , It was
simclv whether the bill should have, in
accordance with the unvarying rule or ine
Senate, the courtesy ot a sscond reading.
and of reference to committee. He had
never observed a breach of that rule He
agreed with the Senator from South Caro
lina. (Hampton), that no Confederate had
asked for euch a bill. He did not believe
that anv Confederate would -ever ask for
itr and in voting, as he Would, for a second
reading ot the bill, no snouid not oo so
from anv motive or wish on his part to fa
cilitate such legislation: but he found the
bill introduced by a distinguished Senator
from the North whose service in the
Union army bad been very meritorious
of bis own motion, actio g on his own judg
ment; and be (George) did not feel that be
ought to "slap him him in the face" by
voung to ref uso hi bill the universal cour
tesv of a second residing and reference to
committee. ; ! -
Mr. Daniel said that if the question were
oco of courtesy or discourtesy to the Sena
tor wbo had introduced me bin, mere
ould be no doubt in bis mind as to bow
he' should voto. He felt incapable of of
ferine discourtesy to anv Senator; and cer
tainly he should go very far to avoid doing
so toward one who had been inspired by
'such a magnanimous and generous senti
ment as that which the Senator from New
Hampshire had exhibited. But no public
question could ever be belittle! on tne
question of couitesy. The question before
me senate was tne propriety oi consiuera
tion of the bill. If it had gone to commit
tee in due course without word or com
ment, no one would have felt tbat there
was anything improper in it; but since the
question had been made upon it that ques
tion had to be met, and bo trusted that no
ex-Confederate in the Senate would dodge
tbat question, although doubtless bis emo
tion might incline him to do so If he
(Daniel) could, with propriety, decline to
vote on the question be would do so, be
ciuse in his judgment it did not become a
Confederate soldier to ask the United States
Government for sny peculiar right or priv
ilege. All that the Confederate aoldier
asked from the United States was that he
should stand equal before its laws, and
that he should have a fair opportunity to
work out his own saivation. Uo would
ventare to say tbat there was not a
town . or hamlet. from tno Po
tomac to the Rio Grande, where
a Confederate soldier was to be seen In rags
or tatters, or begging his bread in its streets.
There was not a palace or a but where tne
Confederate soldier was not always a wel
come and honored guest. There was no
danger of any honorable- and true man,
however humble he might be, or however
small bis fortune, dying on the roadside
because no good Samaritan would come by
to lend him a helping band. AH that the
ex -Con federates asked was not special pri
vileges, but to be respected in their rights
of American citizenship, which they bad
essumid knowingly and intentionally, and
which they bad intended to abide by, uod
helping them, in such manner that no man
could lift against them the finger of scorn,
or apply to them an insulting epithet.
Mr. Hawley expressed himself as person
ally grateful to the Senator from Virginia
(Daniel) for his manly and statesmanlike
speech. There had been nothing so disa
greeable in connection with the bill as ita
introduction by the senator irom ixew
Hampshire, and if the bill had been referred
to committee without notice he should
not have cared about the question being
raised, preferring to wait for the report of
the committee. But the point had been
made, and there was no proposition in the
bill which could not be just as well under
stood and acted on now as it there were
a long report from a committee upon it.
He thought tbat the bill was f nndamentaiiy
a mistake. He not only disclaimed any
feeling of hatred towards those who had.
been Confederates, but he would not do
anything to bar their progress or to dis
qualify or dishonor them. The generous and
manly Confederate soldier knew as well as
any of them tbat the issue had been joined
before the greatest tribunal of the world on
a question involving the very foundation
of Republican government; that it had
been fought out as great armies of brave
men alone could fight; that somebody won;
that some fundamental theory of the con
stitution won; and that the result had
proved tbatit was a causeless, 'unconstitu
tional and wicked war. That had been re
corded by the surrender at Appomattox.
But should he, therefore, act ungenerously
toward any person oa the other side ? God
forbid. Should be try to bar his progress?
Not at all. Should he object to meeting
bim in the Senate Chamber as his peer? By
no means- Did he object to fellow citizens of
the Confederate soldier loving bim because
of bis gallantry? No - Did any man think
less of the State of South Carolina for
sending to the Senate two of her gallant
Confederate Generals ? Not at all; on the
contrary, he should be ashamed of South
Carolina if she did not remember, such
men in the days of her restoration- At the
same time he would not by his vote or
without vigorous protest permit to be
placed on the statute book anything which
would in any degree reward a man for
fighting oa the Confederate side in the war.
He was obliged to the Senator from Vir
ginia, (Daniel.) He honored bim for re
membering with gratitude and love the
men who fought on his side, and he
thanked him for not asking Senators from
the North to do that which in his (Haw
ley's) judgment, if they did, they would be
making fools of themselves.
The Senate then passed bills to provide
for warehousing fruit brandy; for the re
lief of iron-clad builders the Petins and
the McKays; touching the grade of com
mander ia the navy, and to correct an er
ror in relation to an appointment therein.
This was the case of Commander Quack -enbush,
and caused considerable debate.
-After an executive session the Senate ad
journed. j- i - -'

Mr. Rockwell, of Massachusetts, called
up the bill appropriating $95,000 for the
erection oi a nre-prooi worxsnop at me

Mr. Bland fougnt the measure at every
Doint. but it was finally passed.
Mr. O'Neill introduced a bill to protect
free labor and the industries in which it is
Amnloved from the inlurious effects of con
vict labor, by confining the sale of goods,
wares and mercbandiza manufactured by
convict labor to the State in which they

. . In the morning hour the House resumed
uuustucraiioa or. ine resolution nasiguiuK
two days for the transaction : of business
reported by the Committee on' Labor.
- Opponents of the resolution,-led by Mr.
Rogers, of Arkansas, proceeded to obstruc
tive methods to prevent action. After one
roll call Mr. O'Neill, of Missouri stated
that he was willing to amend the: resolu
tion by striking out the clause limiting the
tima of debate on each measure called up.
He would do this, bs eai:' Jn order to re
move the pretext Under which gentlemen
were resorting to nllibustenng tactics. . :
Mr. Rogers - said the gentlemen had no
right to impugn the motive ot any. gentl e
man, charging that he was acting under
pretext. .The charge made by the gentle
man from Missouri was not true. & far
from acting under pretext, he was acting
in good faith and endeavoring to do the
country a benefit. . ."-
The reason he was offering obstruction to
this resolution was that the Committee on
Labor, with four bills on the calendar, was
asking to have four days assigned to it,
when appropriation bills remained undis
posed of, and when the committee on
Ways and Means was maturing a bill affect
ing the interest of honest labor a hundred
times more than any conceivable proposi
tion over which the Committee on Labor bad
-jurisdiction . ' -
' Mr O'Neill mentioned seven important
biila upon the calendar,' under report
of tiie committee on Labor. "I will tell these
gentlemen, " he said, ' that yen (indicating
Mr. Rogers) have talked out this "morning
hour, that you have accomplished your
purpose, and you have simply beeh a tool
that has been used for that purpose. ,
Mr. Rogers demanded that the words be
taken down, which was done, Snd they
were read at the clerk's desk.
Mr. Core, of New York, moved that the
gentleman from Missouri be allowed to pro
ceed in order, and the motion being agreed
to, Mr . O'Neill resumed the floor amid applause."-Be
said tbat the duties of mem
bers at 'the Committee on Labor were very
ariiuous, and that the gentlemen on that
committee - were placed in very pecu
liar poeitoin, - being liable to- be - de
nounced as demagogues - and as - cater
ing to workiogmen whenever they brought
in a bill in the interest of labor,
'As chanman of that committee.he had been
obliged to stand here for two days in an
effort to secure consideration of a number
of important labor bills, and see the time
frittered away by men, who, a? leaders of
the House, should be the first to respond
to the demands of the workingmen for the
right to be heard. Applause
Mr. Buchanan, of New Jersey, in behalf
of the Committee on Labor, proposed an
elimination of the objectionable clause, and
this having been agreed to, Mr. Rogers
withdrew his opposition and the resolution
was adopted. It sets aside the 20th and
21st of March, 18ih of April and the 16th
of May for the purpose stated.
Mr. O'Neill withdrew any remarks of a
personal and offensive character, being.. he
a -.id, willing to forgive everybody and any
body. In pursuance of the terms of the
resolution lust adosted the floor was ac
corded to the Committee on Labor, and
bills were passed for protection in their
wanes of mechanics, laborers and servants
in the District Of Columbia and territories;
and extending the provisions cf the eight
hour law to letter carriers.
The bill referring to the Court of Claims
for adjustment accounts of laborers,
workmen and mechanics arising nnder the
eight-hour law, was discussed without ac
tion until adjournment
SENATE.
Washington. March 21. Mr. . Blair, i
reference to his bill to give preference f or
civii service appointments to wounded so 1
diersof the Confederacy, as between men
who baa been disloyal, said that several
Senators -on both sides had requested him
to have the bill .lie over still further. He
therefore asked its postponement till next
Tuesday, when he would ask the Senate to
dispose of the pending question, the second
reading of the bin.
Mr. Vance denied the correctness of the
statement, as made yesterday by Mr. Blair,
as to there being twenty thousand ex-Con
federate soldiers, in the state or north
Carolina alone, who had lost limbs, and
many of whom were destitute and in alms
houses. He had not clearly heard the re
mark yesterday. The Senator had been
misinformed. There was no such number
of disabled ex-soldiers in that State. Those
who were utterly helpless Were pensiooed
by the State (a small pension, certainly);
and last year about f 30 000 had been ex
pended in relieving the destitution of those
unable to work, most of them were earn
ing their living in the various occupations
of life, and were not to be described as suf
fermg and in destitution. There were none
of them in alms bouses and none had died
Mr. Blair explained that he had meant to
say wounded Eoldiers.
The bill was laid over as proposed
The Senate then proceeded to take up
and act upon the bills on -the calendar in
their regular order passing such as were
not obiected to.
The bill provtding ror an inspection oi
meats for exportation, and prohibiting the
importation of adulterated articles or rood
or drink baying been reached, Mr. Beck
asked Mr. Evarts who had reported it from
the Committee on Foreign Relations,
whether it was the unanimous report of
that committee, and whether due care had
been taken to protect property rights.
Mr. Evarts replied that a like bill had
been passed at the last session. It was the
unanimous report of the committee, but he
had an amendment to offer allowing the
Inspection of meats at places of packing.
The amendment was offered and agreed to.
and the bill was passed. Bills were also
passed authorizing the Mississippi and
Louisiana Bridge and Railroad Company of
Natchez. Miss., to construct a bridge over
the Mississippi river at or near Natchez; to
authorize Jurors oi the V. a. circuit and
District Courts to be used interchangeably

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
On motion of Mr. Allen, of Mississippi,
the Senate bill was passed appropriating
$10 000 for the construction of a road from
Cetintb, Miss., to the National cemetery
near that nlace.
The House then went into Committee of
the Whole on the bill referring to the
Court of Claims the adjustment of ac
counts or laborers, workmen and me
chanics arising under the eight-hour law,
Mr. Tillman, of South Carolina, regard
ed the measure as an attacc upon tne
Treasury. He bad carefully considered
the question in 1884, and at that tune he
had estimated that the bill would Involve
an expenditure of $30,000,000. He de
clared that whenever the labor bill was
brought into tha House it stampeded mem
bers as a hawk stampeded pigeons in
dove-cote. The most humiliating thing to
him. in connection with his congressiom
labors, was the wav the members fluttered
whenever any proposition came up relating
to labor. The pending proposition was one
to give a man ten hours' pay for eight
hours' labor, in order to create an anstoc
racy of labor, and give to claim agents 25
or ou per cent, oi me amounts vuey uiigub
recover.
Mr. Taulbee, of Kentucky, declared the
House was utterly at sea as to the amount
involved in the bill. He admitted that the
question of expenditure did not enter into
the equities of the case, but it tended to im-
presav upon members the importance or f an
inquir mur we uui, anu - ne mainta tned
that the language of the measure was a vir
tual acknowledgment on the part tt Its
framers that -there was no existing ; law.
equity, or good conscience 3 upon -7 which
these claims couio ne based.. t ...
Mr. Tarsney. of Michigan, earnestP t sud
ported the bill. He stated, that tha Com
mittee on Labor had given a careful bear
ing to mechanics and laborers who- asked
that wbich should, never be denied :in any
civilized country the right to go ia to the
courts of their country and hava their
rights and the duties of the government de
fined and placed i on record. Het then
moved that the committee rise, stating that
his intention was to . let the bill &c over
until April 16, in ord?r tbat the guatlemen
who were shooting at a bird that they didn't
see. and lht wasn't there, might have an
opportunity to examine the record and be
come belter informed, as to the merits of
the case than their epeechea tc-day indica-
d them to be. ' ; " 1 . .
The committea then rose aad the bill
went over. . -.-'-' 1 :
Bills were passed to prevent the product
of convict labor from being furnished to or
for the use of any department of the gov
ernment, and from being used in public
buildings or other public works, and in the
various departments of the government.
The House then went into Committee of
the Whole on the bill to establish a Depart
ment of Labor. .
The provision for an Assistant Commis
sioner of Labor was stricken out -
Mr. Buchanan moved to strike out the
clause charging the Commissioner to ascer
tain, whenever industrial changes shall
Btuke it essential, the cost of producing
articles at the time dutiable in! the United
Stales, in the leading countries where such
articles are produced by fully specified
units of production, and under classifica
tion showing the different elements of -cost,
or approximate cost of such articles of pro
duction, -Mr., Buchanan said that the
Commissioner would bo unable to gather
the inform&ion with the force at his dis
posal, and that if the force were increased
sufficiently to enable him to do so the ex
pense of the department would become so
great that he feared Congress would refuse
to appropriate the money.
Kr. Aims regarded the clause which it
was proposed to strike out as the most im
portant feature of the bilL If it were
stricken out there would be nothing left in
tho bill. People were told that the wages ef
labor cn the other sida of the ocean
were less than those on this side, and that
the cost of production was less in Europe
than in America. Who knsw whether that
was true ot not ? He wished the Commis
sioner to get the information from men
thoroughly equipped for the work. Then,
when Congress came to legislate upon the
tariff question, gentlemen would not be
able to deceive people who would be able
to see for themselves what was the labor
cost of production in European countries.
Let the gentlemen come up to the scratch
and. have this matter investigated. Gen
tlemen should not tell people that the tariff
was intended for their benefit. Every line
of it was intended for the benefit of trusts.
Mr. Reed expressed wonder whether the
Chairman of the Ways and Means Com
mittee, if he got the information,, would
allow it to be read to the committee,
Mr. Buchanan s 1 amendment was re
jected, i . , -
Mr. Itandau offered an amendment to
extend the inquiry to the amount of wages
paid in various industries; accompanying
his amendment with the remark that, "we
all stand on the question of labor." The
amendment was adopted. '
Mr. Milis offered an amendment to insert
the words "per diem, weekly and other-
WISP,"
dall's
after the word "wages" in Mr. Kan
amend ment 1 The amendment was
adopted.
On motion of Mr. McKinley an amend
ment was adopted adding to Mr. Randall's
amendmentthe words, "and the hours per
day." ' I I
The following amendments extending
the scope of inquiry were adopted: By
Mr. ouchanan-arwhetber any convict made
goods are imported Into this country and
whence? By Mr. Bland th profits of the
manufacturer and producer of dutiable
articles. " Bv Mr. Washington, of Tenn
the comparative cost of living in this coun
try and Europe. By Mr. Milliken and
the kibd of living, t
Mr. Brown, of Ind , offered an amend
ment extending the inquiry as to the effect
of a protective tariff in the United States
on the agricultural industry, and especially
as to its effect oa the mortgage indebted
cess of farmers. To this amendment Mr.
Randall offered another, extending the in
quiry as to the effect of the stale of cur
rency upon agricultural interests; and Mr.
Milliken, or Me., another, requiring the
Commissioner of Labor to investigate the
Mills tariff bill and report wbat effect it
would have on tne labor and industry of
tho United States, and on foreign industry,
and on the profits of foreign manufacturers
ana tne markets or tne American farmer.
Pending action the committee rose and
at 6:15 the House anjourned.
