Adopted. Mr. Allison reported from the con ference oommittee(on the legislative, exe cutive and judicial 'appropriation bill,, that 7 the committee had been unable to agree, the House still insisting on its dis agreement to the three pending propositions. Mr. Miller inquired whether under that bill the treasury department would have a sufficient fund to enable it : to execute the oleomargarine law (should it pass) through the internal revenue bureau. Mr. Allison replied in 'the af firmative, provided the House receded from its disagreement to the item relating to the internal revenue bureau. On mo tion of Mr. Allison the Senate still further insisted and asked for a further conference. Messrs. Allison, Dawes and Cockrell were reappointed confererees. The Senate proceeded to tbe considera tion of bills on the calendar. 1 1 Mr. Hale, from the conference I com mittee on tbe naval appropriation bill, submitted a report, which was agreed to. He stated that this disposed of ih naval appropriation, bill, which had ifot occupied more than an hour of the Sen ate's time.

Mr. Martin, who is always watchful of the South 's inter ests, as ttiany of the thousands of South ern menUn New York are, asked him to make tab statement in writing, that he might have the benefit of it for pur peo- pie.

In the beeinniDe ff our civil war, at the closing of mail facilities, my firm, had nearly gi 0,000 o wine it from friends South, all of which we con sidered lost. After the close of the war, without suit or pressure;, nearly ft65. 000 of this amount was paid to us by our debtors a result so satisfactory to us, and 'so honorable to : them and the section of " country from which they sideration of reports on the subject of the proposed investigation of the charces affecting the election of Mr. Payne, of Ohio. I ! Mr. Teller proceeded to address the Senate in support of the views submit ted by hknaelf and Senators Evarts and Logan; that an investigation should not be instituted. Ho reviewed a portion of the testimony taken by tbe commit tee of the Ohio legislature and inferred from its contradictory features that if the Senate undertook the inauirv ; it would only land tbe Senate in intermi nable confusion. V Mr. Sherman next spoke (Mr. 8ewell occupying the chair.; He role, he said, to perform the most dfcagreeable duty of his life. During all the time he bad been in this body he had never had occasion to bring before the Senate the politics of Ohio as distinguished from national politics. In performing what he regarded as a publio duty to the people of Ohio, and particularly to the" Republican people of 0'-io, he would do it in no spirit of unkindness to his odlleague. He had known him (or had known of him) since be bad arrived at the azel of manhood. He bad always; known him as respected and honored citizen of Cleve land, regarded well by his neighbors, and he was glad to say that in this in vestigation' and in performing this duty he- should not have ocasion to arraign his colleague in the slightest degree. He believed that by common consent the evidence showed that, whatever corrupt lion naa occurred in tne process ot elec tion, no knowledge of such corruption was brought to his colleague. He be lieved also, sincerely, that if the inves tigation were gi anted his colleague's honor would not be touched by tbe tes timony that would be produced. He wished to say also to the senators from Illinois, New York and Cojorada that he had no sympathy whatever with the criticisms made uDon those honored Senators. He did not think that any of the newspaper extracts read by Mr. LiOgan yesterday showed any reflection on their motives. As-a mat ter of course, the newspapers were rude and rough in their language about pub' no men, due ii anypoay expected bet-' come, that I am always glad to speak of ter treatment from newspapers he would I u .nrniin r n r., II i: : A . 4t. 1 Kespectfully, John C.

If the charges are false, stamptheso mm with the brand of ignominy. If they are true, deal with the tacts proved as you shall think just and right." Mr. Eustis, as a member of tbe Sen ate committee signing the majority re port, felt it inoumbent on him to pek a few words in support of that report The subject was also discussed by Messrs. Hoar, Frye, Saulsbury and Teller. The chair (Mr. Sewell) an nounoed the question to be on the adop tion of the report of the majority of tho oommittee. Mr. Hoar moved as on amendment that the minority report, calling for an investigation, be adopted instead.

' Mr. Hatch, from the oommittee on agriculture, reported back, as a matter of privilege, the oleomargarine bill with the Senate amendments. Mr. Dunham raised the 'point of or der that the report was not a privileged one; the only committee which ba 1 the right of way with the revenue bills was the committee on ways and means; the only privilege which attached to the committee of agriculture was to report the agricultural appropriation bill at any time. Mr. liatch contended that the House, by its action in referring the bill to the committee on agrioulture, had given that oommittee thewsamc ; privileges in regard to it as were conferred upon the ways and means committee in regard to any revenue bill. Mr. Hisoock took the same ground, and stated further that it had always been the practice for tho House to ac cede to the request of the Senate for a conference. Mr. Dunn argued that the privilege attached, not to the measure, but to the oommittee; the bill was not privileged because tt was a revenue bill, but be cause the ways and means committee had a right to report it at suy time; that the privilege did not attach to the agricultural committee. Mr. Creary could fiod no instance on record where the request of one house a conference was refused by tbe other bouse. The speaker said the privilege to report revenue bills at any time applied to tne committee on ways and means. The privilege to consider revenue bills applied to all revenue bills. The chair did not ; see how an order which had referred a bill to the committee on agriculture conferred, any power upon that committer which it did not before possess. He therefore held that the report was not a privileged .one and therefore declined to entertain it. Mr. Herbert, of Alabama, rose to call up the special order, the naval increase 1. Ml 1 -W TT? t dui, wnen bit. nisoocx, rising to a par- lamentary inquiry, asked whether if the House refused to consider the special order a call of committee's would then be in order. The speaker replied that it would. Messrs. Hisoock and Hatch thereupon raised the question of consideration, and Mr. Herbert; fearing that the friends of the oleomargarine bill would unite and vote against him, with drew his bill for the present, and the speaker proceeded to call - the commit tees for reports, when the following were submitted : Mr. Hatch, from the committee on agriculture, reported the oleomargarine bill with the Senate amendments, with the recommendation that, they be non concurred in. Referred to committee of tbe whole, where it takes its place at the foot of the calendar, and where it can only be reached by laying aside the Morrison and Kandall tan 11 bills and one or two internal revenue bills. After the other reports had been made Mr. Herbert again called up the special order. Mr. Hatch again raised the question of consideration,; desiring to move to go into committee of the wholo tor the consideration of the oleomargarine bill. Tbe House refused to consider the navy increase bill, and immediately Mr. Keagan, of Texas, called : up as privi- eged matter the inter-State commerce bill and against this also Mr; Hatch raised the question of consideration The inter-State commerce bill met with the same fate as the naval bill, the Ilou.'e refusing, yeas 102, najs 151, to consider it. The House went into committee of the whole on revenue bills, tho object being to reach the oleomargarine bill. The first bill of this character on the calen dar was the Morrison tariff bill, and Mr. Morrison asked that it be laid aside. Mr. Dunham objected, and the objection having been reported to the House, the speaker announced the ques tion to be on laying the bill aside. This was agreed to ; yeas'lGT, nays 63, and the oommittee resumed its session, lhe next revenue bill reached was that giving notice of the termination of the Hawaiian treaty. Mr. liatcd asxed tnat it be laid aside, and after demanding its reading Mr. Dunham objected to it and the objection was icporied to th House. The bill was laid aide; yeas 158, nays 60, and once more the com mittee resumed its session, only to strike another snag in a bill to reduce the number of internal revenue officers and to provide a better and more eco nomical administration of tho , iuternal revenue laws, which bill was also laid aside; yeas 159, nays 70 This see-saw game was continued until 4.30 o'clock, bills relating to the revenue being lard aside by votes vary ing from yeas lo, nays Ol, to yeas 146, nays 51. At that time tV bill regulating the manufacture of uno.'ar made from grain was reached. Tuuu tbe friends of the oleomargarine bill re ported p) different tactics and instead of asking that the bill be laid aside, Mr. Hatch took ithe floor to advocate the measure. His object was to make the bill the unfinished busings, so as to prevent the j necessity of beginning at the head of the lint tomorrow in pro gress towards tbe oleomargarine bill. He yielded o Mr. Hisoock, who in a humorous manner began to talk Against time and in favor of the bills, and bis remarks were received with i good na ture d applause and laughter Mr. Henderson, of Iowa, in a;i equally humorous m?nner, ; took the other tack and vigorously d- hout oed the bill, declaring it to be the most in famous proposition ever brought before an American Congress, and said be was surprised to see an "old grqy-lmircd rf cal" liko tb gentleman from New Y iTk advocating such a villainous measure. (Laughter. )i Ho withdrew his offensive remarks and admitted that the gentle man had some dark hairs in his bead. This bill was only in keeping with tho mixed-up performance which the House bad seen on, the part of the committee ou ways and means. TUs was such an infamouH proposition that he saw no good in it, and he felt like raking tbe committee fore and aft for bringing in such a bill. , (Laughter ) Tho last re mark annoyed Mr. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, who was the author of the bill, and hei inquired if it was parha- mci?tae U Renounce a measure as in famous. - Mr. Henderson: "I withdraw the re mark " Mr. lireckenridge: "I take it that when he says the proposition is infa mous he speaks that which he knows to bo false." ; Mr. Henderson: "Task permission to take back the offensive remarks." Mr. Hopkins, of Illinois, suggested that the remarks had been made in a Pickwickian sense'." Mr. Breckenridge : "They were too strong to be tolerated." Mr. Henderson: "Tbe correction from my venerable friend touches my heart and 1 beg to be permitted to with draw the offensive remarks. I forgot that voj friend was a member of the committee when I said it. I was think ing only of the chairman (Laughter, in wnich Mr. Morrison heartily i joined ) The committee rose, leaving the bill as the unnnisbed business and the House at 5 o'clock adjourned.
