The House Passes the Postal Appropri
ation Bill and Takes op the River
and Harbor Bill. .
Washington-, : Feb. 14. -Senate,
Hale, from the committee on appro.
Driations, reported, the agricultural
-ii; . i:n ; u nmanH msnta
appropriation um, whuouieuuu..-.
He said the Senate committee docket
was clear, this being the last appro,
priation bill sent by the House to the
Senate. Placed on the calendar.
Tbe Harris resolutions heretofore
offered were agreed to providing that
House bills favorably reported to the
Senate now on the calendar shall, on
the conclusion of the'morning busi
ness daily, be taten up, ana - tu
consideration- continued within the
morning hour until disposed of. ; l&e
original resolution was, however,
modified, one motion of Allison, so
- as not to interfere with the the busi
ness now pending in r tbe. morning
hour, the Des Moines river settlers
bill. . -; V'"-- ';H-.
Mahone took the floor aad contin
ued his speech against tne dui.
At one o'clock Lapham had
nninHd hia sDeech and the
again went over. . , .
The Indian appropriation bill was
taken up. A point pi oraer was suuu
raised against one of its provisions
as coming within the Senate rule
. prohibiting general legislation on ap
propriation bills- and the debate,
several times renewed within two
weeks, again followed. Finally
Dawes succeeded in getting the Sen
ate to agree to the committee amend-,
ment striking out the legislation
there indicated. The Senate debated
the motion to increase an item of ap
propriation for the Assemaiorine In
dians until 3-20 p. m., when a "ten
minutes executive session was aken,
and the Senate adjourned. '
House. When the House met at
ten o'clock in continuation of Fri
day's session Willis, moved to go into
committee of the whole on tne river
and harbor bill and all debate be lim
itod to an hour and a half.
On motion of Holman a session was
ordered for t6night for the considera
tion of the legislative appropriation
bill. . . . : a ...
- The regular order being demanded
the Speaker announced the regular
order to be the consideration ot pen
sion bills-coming over from last
night's session.
Willis asked unanimous consent
that the regular order be dispensed
with. '
Keed objected.
The Senate bill called up by Bans
dall granting a pension of $25,000 to
the widow of Generel George Thomas
was passed, 143 to 62. k '..
Willis then renewed his motion.
Reed made a point that the post
office appropriation bill must be con
sidered.
The previous question having been
ordered upon it the Speaker over
ruled the point on the ground that
the bill should hot come up until af
ter the readipg of Friday's journal
and held that tnis morning's session
was but a prolongation of last night's
session.
Kelly made the point that under
the ruling no business was in order
but consideration of pension bills..
The Speaker overruled the point of
order.
Kelly appealed.
Willis moved to lay tha appeal on
the table. The latter motion was
agreed to, 132 to 32.
After an hour consumed by the
Speaker in ruling upon points of
order, answering parliamentary in
quiries, and endeavoring rather un
successfully to suppress the disorder
and confusion on the floor, the ques
tion recurred on Willis5 motion to
limit debate on the pending section of
the river and harbor bill to one hour
and a half. Agreed to.
Then at 11.45 the House went into
committee of the whole, Hammond in
the chair on that bill.
After ;reading the pending sec
tion by the clerk a discussion arose as
to how the hour and a half allowed
for debate should be distributed, and
the chair asked aid of the committee
to enable him to put a bushel in a
- peck measure.
Proposition after proposition was
. . made, plan after plan was suggested,
but all proved unsatisfactory and no
arrangement was arrived at and the
power &f recognition was left entirely
with trie chair. "'
Turner, of Georgia, raised a 'point
of order against the Hennepin canal
paragraph He contended that in
reporting this clause to the House the
committee on rivers and harborn had
exceeded its jurisdiction and in- I
fringed upon the jurisdiction of the
committee on railroads and canals.
Decision upon Turner's point was
reserved for the present and the com
mittee rose, reconsidered the vote
against taking up the post office bill
and that bill was taken up under
operation of the previous question.
The amendments made in the com-
mittee of the whole were agreed to as
follows: That increasing from $4,
100,000. to $4,535,000; appropriation
for letter carrier seryice, yeas 151,
nays 96; that increasing by $200,000
the appropriation for star route ser
- vice, yeas 155, nays 94; that striking
out the clause granting additional
compensation to American steam
ships for carrying mails, yeas 129,
. nays 113. ' The other amendments
were agreed to without division and
the bill was passed. ,
: The House then- at 4. f0 resumed
consideration of the fiver and harbor
bill in committee of the whole and
after an uninteresting five - min
ute debate for. one hour, rose and
, at 6 o'clock went into commifee of
1 the wnoie on tne legislative appro
priation dui, Mcaiuien, ot Tennessee,
; in the chair. ,-.- ,
There "was no general debate and
; the bill .was immediately read by
paragraphs for amendments.
White, of Kentucky, moved to
. strike out the paragraph for the ex
penses of the office of commissioner
of internal revenue and criticized the
recent action of the secretary of the
treasury in extending the bonded
- period in violation of law and in the
face of the refusal of Con gress to
legalize sucn extension.
Without disposing of the motion
the committee rose and the House at
gp m, took a recess until Monday at
' 10 a. m , having disposed of 40 out of
608 pages of the dui. -

Washington, Feb. 12 All the

working up their their own or some

with other States the number of these
persons is small. So far as I am

mode of procedure- WeU, 1 haven t
the least doubt that there are office
brokers in this highly moral capital
of the United States. But I do not
know the creatures.
As to the larger offices that are con
otoi tha eit.iiation is apparently un
changed. The fight for the district
attorneyship for the Western district
is believed to one of t&e most inter
esting of all the contests goth of
t.h e-entlemen known to be seeking
it. Cols. Jones and Staples, are men
of exceptionally fine qualifications for
the position. Both are influential.
Weil might the Senator, Representa
tive, elector, or other person of influence-asked
to "make it all right
with Cleveland in good time ex
claim: "I'd be happy with either,
were t'other dear charmer away.
The great trouble experienced by
Congressmen in the matter of offices
is ratner over tne eiuttiici
important ones. The postoffices and
especially the postal route clerkships
and agencies are competed for with
ereati aviditv. There is nothing like a
grand rush for these places, but the
com petition is active and the solici
tude for tbe good of the service and
the accommodation 01 me puouo
more nearly approximates prayer
meeting fervor than in the case of ail
other offices combined. Here the
tearful ink and eloquent goose quill
are supposed to be up usually eifees
tivej for the average member ura
man of tender susceptibilities, he
hurts na man's much tet& any lady's
feelings, and Tine, the great arbiter,
is invoked in behalf of every respect
able applicant who has the showing
of support. It could hardiy be other
wise The world was not made m a
day. It is the duty cf every man to
respect his neighbor's sensibilities as
far as that neighbor will permit. j
Oit several occasions I have heard
savage denunciation of ex-Congressmen
who in departing from Egypt
take an inventory ot the pleasant
things, lentilcs, pottage, etc., left be
hind. Others, who are disposed to
make certain reservations, criticise
the same class of office sseters as
men who never seem satisfied and
and can't be induced to let the teat
go. This criticism comes sometimes
from those who themselves seek
nourishment and find the older pigs
in the way. But it is not always so.
Some persons who are either well
provided for or expect no favors from
the government also frequently speak
of this matter as a public evil. On
the other hand the argument is heard
from individuals equally as free from
prejudice that the retiring Congress
man or other public servant is very
often the best man for the position on
account of long experience in affairs
or some special qualification. In
maiy instances the critics ot tne
"ex-es" have disclaimed expressly
any reference to theentlemen in the
North Carolina delegation who are
understood to be applicants or intend-
ing applicants for office under Mr.
Cleveland. These gentlemen, I have
excellent authority for saying, will
receive at the proper time the cordial
support of their present colleagues.
It is said tnat mere are auouu one
hundred excongressman and those
who soon will be ex-congressmen
who are now in Washington seeking
Federal offices.
Yesterday's ceremony of counting
the electoral vote was both drier and
shorter than usual for reasons that
will either readily occur to the aver
age reader or were stated in tne asso
ciated press account. Mr. Pendleton
. 1 . A
was the teller wno reaa me reiurns
rom North Carolina. Our Senators
sat on the first row of member's seats
on the extreme left jof the presiding
ofScer.5. 5 Gen. Cox occupied a seat
near Mr. Lamar on tbe other side, and
engaged iii ? conversation ' for some
tliuif in under tones with that distin
guished gentleman. The two are
very much attached. -Mr. Larcnr sat
in Mr. Randall's seat. Messis. Bay
ard and Hampton ' and Jonas and
Gorman eat id pairs in different rows.
Mr. Garland was 111 trout oa tne ueva
ocratic or right hand siJo. All the
fun camo affer the joint conven
tion was over. But Of this your tele
graphic dispatches have given per
haps sufficient account The Demo
crats generally sustain Mr. Edmunds
in his form of announcing the result.
Their action in the House was a vir
tual endorsement. Republican Sens
ators are in a disturbed state of mind
on the subject.
There will be majority and minort
ty reports from the committee on
elections to which the matter wa9 res
f erred today. A very general feeling
prevails that fhe law with regard to
count ought to be changed before
any serious embarrassment, such os
that -of 1877, arises. It is said that
Mr. Edmunds was. actuated in part
by this whon he decided to announce
the vote without declaring Mr. Cleye
land elected. In V this connection
reference also ought to be made to the
several errers of law and statement
made by the tellers in their resolu
tions to the two houses . '
It was admitted by the chairman of
the appropriations committee on the
floor last week that tbe last of the
appropriation measures must be
readv for the Senate to consider it by
the 25th of this month, at the latest
moment. The most important of
these bills, five in number, those call
ing for the closest scrutiny- and
11011 oiiir AlifMt.irie' the greatest debate.
-"""-"J . ; . j 1 u TI,.ca

o Representatives. - Possibly, with
one exception, they will each con
sume more than two days. Then
there are points of difference on the
bills that have passed the House, and
which are now in conference. Mr.
Willis, contrary to expactation, se
cured an extensionof today's session
by a recess from this afternoon to 10
o'clock tomorrow morning, for the
purpose of considering the river and
harbor bill until 12 m., promising not
to prolong tne legisiauve ujr.
North Carolina Democratic members
supported the motion. He said that
the bill would be completed in four
hrmrj mora In this opinion I find
slight concurrence among observant
men. The bill is only one-sixth
through in committee of the whole.
The measure cannot bo finished in
two Eittinjgs of two hours each, or- for
that matter in four such : sittings,
unkss the opposition have pretty
much all gone over to Mr. Willis. It
is a physical impossibility. Never
theless, the movement gives one ray
of hope, in the darkness. It is just
possible, if he can handle the House
two or tnree uayn uiwo tu u 1
and can leave out all the features of
the measures that are most seriously
objected to, that the bill may pass.
It is not as clear a track as the way
faring man likes, however. - .
Judge jsennett says iuua iuo
probable some of our Noith Carolina
public building bills will be passed.
It is learned that an effort will be
made to bring up one Or more in a
few days under the new ten minute
rule. Judge Bennett is not opposed
to thtf Passage ot meritorious bills of
this denomination. p f "p
objected to is the bundling them to
gether and rushing them all through
under pressure, which style of pro
ceeding seems to have at last been
abandoned as impracticable.
Qne bears increasing talk of an
extra session, ine proqauuiiuj
still against it. But with John p.
White wasting the time upon f rivos
lous questions of privilege, and ls
cranky members doing practically
the same thing, no absolute guaran
tees can be given that Mr. Cleveland
will not have to convene the 49th
Congress in order to provide for the
ordinary expenses of administration
The Democrats do not desire it, and
they chivse the Kepublicana witn
putting White forward to obstruct
public business. . , '
