The amend ment was ooncurred in and the bill now goes to the President Mr.1 fjameron moved that when the Senate adjourned today it be till Mon day next. Agreed to yeas 23, nays 22. The senate, after the introduction of several bills, proceeded to the consider ation or a resolution introduced by Mr. Morrill, Tuesday, declaring that the promise of making any revision of the tariff in a spirit of fairness to all inter ests, not to injure any domestic indus tries, : but to promote their healthy growth so that any change of the law must be at every step regardful of the abor and capital involved, and without depriving Amerioan labor of the ability o compete suooosarouy with foreign abor, and without imposing lower rates of duty than will be ample to cover any increased cost of production which may exist in consequence of a higher rate of wages prevailing in this eountry.appears so obviously hopeless and impracticable that any further attempts at revision by tne present uongress in contravention to the foregoing cardinal declarations are to bo regarded as inexpedient and detri mental to a revival of the trade and in dustry of the oountry. Mr. Morrill pro ceeded to address the Senate. The tariff debate was continued bv Messrs. Beck and Sherman. After them, Mr. Dawes cot the floor to sneak on the abject, but the Senate at 3.

Mr. Reagan, of Texas, rising to a question of personal privilege, sent to the. clerk's desk and had read a Wash ington: card to the New York World, published on Deoember 4th, purporting to give an aooount of a dispute in a con ference of the committee on inter-state commerce billk,btween Mr. Reagan and Senator Cullom; in the course of which Mr. Reagan was compelled to retract a statement, that all opponents of his fa vorite measure were acting in the inter est of j monopolies. He also bad 'read from the same paper, of Deoember 9th, a card from Senator Cullom denying the reporiof a dispute, and a further article m the paper reiterating its first story. Mr. Reagan denied the truth of these statements. Mr, Morrison, of Illinois, from the committee on ways and meansi reported back the bill relating to the taxation of fractional parts of a gallon of spirits, with Senate amendments thereto, with recommendation of non-cone urrence. The report was agreed to and a confer ence ordered. . Mr. Pay son, of Illinois, from the committee on public lands, reported hack the bill to restrict the ownership of real estate in territories to American cit'sens with Senate amendments there to. . v -I . : . t- The amendments were non-concurred in and a conference ordered. In the morning hour, the House re- tamed the consideration of the bill ex tending the free delivery system by an arrangement with the commissioner on posti face and peatroads. Mr. Cannon, of Illinois, withdrew the amendment offered by him yesterday, ; and Mr. Dockery, of Missouri, pa behalf of that oommittee, effered an amendment so to make the bill provide, that letter-carriers shall be employed for the free de livery of mail matter as frequently as public business may require m every incorporated city, village or burrough containing a population of 50,900, within ui oori dm uoiiui,ia may do. so ejnpjoy- od at every plaoe containing . a pc pula tion pf not less than -1,000 within the corporate limits, according to the last general soensus taken by the authority of the state or the United States law, or to any postofnee which produced a gross revenue for the preceding fiscal year, of not less tnan gl.uuu.

Mr. Ward, of Indiana, on behalf of the eomnrittee on poatoffioea and post- roads, called up, and the House passed the pul authorising the employment o: mail messengers in the postal service. ; The house then resumed the oon mderation of the electoral count bill. ! After brief remarks by Mr. Baker. of New York, and Mr. Herbert, of Alabama, the House proceeded to vote upon the House amendments to the Sen ate bill. They were agreed to, but the amendments i flared by the minority o: the House oommittee were rejected. On motion of Mr. Oates.of Alabama, an amendment was adopted-4-yeaa. 141 nays, 1C9, striking out the clause direct ing the president of the Senate, upon declaration of the vote to announce the persons elocted.

Section two provides that if any state shall have by law enacted prior to the day fixed for an appoint ment of the ele t rr, f r the final deter mination of any controversy concerning the appointment of all or any of the electors of such state by judioial or other methods or procedures, and suoh determination shall have been made at least six days before the time fixed for the meeting of the electors, suoh deter mination shall be ooneluaivr; aid shall govern in the counting of the electoral votes so far as the ascertainment of the electors appointed by anoh state is con cerned.

After providing for the appointment of tellers, 'aid the reading by them cf certificates and papers purporting to be osrtifioates of electoral votes, the bill continues: "and votes having been ascertained and counted in the masnor and aooordlng to the rules in this act, Provided the result of the sune shall be elivered to the president of the Senate, who shall thereupon ehnounoe the state of the voce, wbioh annouaoomsnt shall be deemed a sufficient declaration of the a m w persons, u any, electoa rrestdent ana V ice-President orthe.UoitcdStates.shall together with a list of the votes be en tered on the j lurnals of the two Houses.'

Every objection shall bo made in writing and shall state clearly and oonoisely and without argument the ground thereon, and shall be signed by at least one Sen-, ator and member of the H juso of Rap- resentatives before the same shall be received." When all the objections so made to any vote or paper from the State shall have have been received and read, the Senate shall thereupon withdraw, and suoh ob jections shall be submitted to the Sen ate for its decision; and the speaker of the House of Representatives shall in like manner submit such objections to the House of Representatives for its decision; and no electoral vote or votes which shall have been regularly given by the electors whose appointment shall have been certified to according to the third section of the not, from any State from whioh. buavanL.retnm . has boon received shall be rejected.

And in such a ease of more than one return or paper pur porting to be a return from the state, if there thall have been no suoh deter mination of the question in the state aforesaid, then those votes and those only shall be counted, whioh were oast by the electors whose appointment shall have been certified under the seal of the state by the executive thereof in aocord- atce with the laws of the state, unices the two houses, acting separately, eha!l concurrently decide suoh votes not to be. lawful votes of the legally appointed electors of such a state.
