Washington, D. C, March G.- -
Senate. Mr: Morrell : from the
finance committee reported back fa
vorably, and with an amendment to
the House bib, to provide for the pur
chase of United S ates bonds by the
Secretary of the treasury, and gave
notice that he would call it up at an
early date. Calendar.
Mr. Beck ollered an amendment to
the latter bill which was ordered
printed.
Mr. bawyer reported back adverse
ly on the bill for the construction of
bridges across the Mississippi river at
Memphis. Calendar.
A minority report was presented
by Mr. Gibson, on behalf of himself
Messrs. Ransom, Coke and Kenna. iy
Mr. Harris gave notice that so soon
as the bill was printed he should ask
for its consideration. -
: Mr. Aldrich called up the report
made by him some weeks ago from
the committee on rules to amend tho
rules. The first amendment was in
regard to petitions, and t was agreed
to without discussion, a ho rule now
reads :
: "Every petition and memorial
shall be signed by the petitioner or
memorialist, and shall have endorsed
thereon a brief statement of its con
tents and shall be presented and re
ferred without debate."
;The next amendment was one that
requires; the appropriation commit
tee to consider bills at least hve days
before toporting them. This was
laid over. Tho rule as to executive
sessions: was modified without discus
sion so as to read :
"When the treaty shall ba laid be
fore the fSenate for ratification it shall
be read the first time and no motion
in respect to it sha 1 be in order ex
cept to refer it to the committee to
print it in confidence for the uso of
the Senate, to remove the injunction
of secrecy or to consider it in open
executive session."
The Senate at 2 p. m. took up ihe
"dependent pension bill," the ques
tion still being on the amendment of
Hf- Wilson, of Iowa, to insert the
wdrds Mfrom the infirmities of age.
After j brief speeches by Messrs.
Berry, Manderson, Sherman, Teller
and Beck, Mr. Ingalls, the presiding
officer, having called Mr. Piatt to the
chair, proceeded to address the
Senate, 1 the gallery being crowded
to its full capacity. He said that
cotsiderations of the propriety
(perhaps excessive and over strained)
had deterred him fro&i participating
thus farlin the debates of 'the Senate.
He had therefore been surprised one
day last week on his return to the
chamber after a brief absence to
learn that the Senator from Missouri
(Vest) had referred to him in terms
not complimentary in the debate in
which ne had taKen no pare, lntima-
tinethat the people of the District
of Columbia were incapable of
disinterested patriotism and that the
veterans, of the republic were a
mob of sordid plunderers. As to
himself be would say that the nom
ination and eleo ion of Grover Cleve
land had mada the nomination of any
American citizen to the presiency
respectable.
l'nere -was no man so ignorant and
mean that he might not aspire to the
nomination of President by the JJem
ocratio jparty. (Laughter and ap
plause). ' He regrets that the Senator
from Missouri was not in his Beat today-
He should not imitate that Sen
ator s bad example, and would conhne
himself, so far as he was concerned,
to that Senator's autobiography. That
Senator was born in a State that had
not seceded State of Kentucky and
had represented in the Confederate
Jongress the btate of Missouri, which
State had not seceded. It would be
gratifying to history to find out how
he had been admitted to represent a
State which had never seceded
But that was a matter of ancient his
tory. The Senator from Kentucky
(Mr. Blackburn) had also - referred
sneermgly to the super-loyalty of
the soldiers of the Union. He did
not challenge the honor or courage of
these Senators in their devotion to
the South and to the Southern Con
federacy. They could not be suspect
ed of insincerity. They had gone
into the Confederacy because they
wanted to go because they believed
that slavery was better than freedom
and secession better than uuion. It
was curious that tho Confederates
from the Union States were a little
more pronounced and a little more
aggressive and a little more violent
in their denunciations of the North
than the Confederates from the States
that bad seceded. He did not know
where the Senator from Missouri
had got the figures from which he
stated that but 8,000 of Lee s army had
surrendered at Appomattox. If that
Senator had plucked a few of the
plumes from the dazzling tail of his
imagination and had stuck them into
the wings of his judgment, he would
hare flown a more accurato flight. In
stead of 8,U0U men with muskets, who
were in the final crush and collision
of tho war, there have been 73,911
men. The Senator's mathematics
were certainly giddy, but one
parallel was to be found equal
to , the to extraordinary in
accuracy of that statement, and that
was that same Senator a state
ment that of 2,300,000 soldiers
of the Union ai my, mere than one
half had applied for pensions.
Such speeches as those of the t eaa
tors irom .Missouri and .Kentucky
Wer j intended to catch the Confedtr
ate vote and they would catch it.
They were ".-cntre shots," striking
the bull's eye every time and "ring
ina tee bell." He wanted the Sena
tors on tho Democratic side of the
chamber to understand that their
disguise for opposing the pension
bills was so exoaedingly thin thit no
body was deceived bv if It was not
a cuestion o' cost. The South did
not love theUnion army, neither did
the Democratic party

port Gan. Hancock and: it also sup
ported Horace Greeley hi attempting
to fool the North. It also nominated
and supported that other ally of tbo
Confederacy George B. McCiellan.
Such pretensions are altogether too
diaphanous. They require, to have
the drapery removed for inspection.
Mr. Ingalja declared that the move
ment for pensions was not going to
stop until the arrears of pensions
were paid, until the limitations ware
removed, -until evorv pensioner wa
paid from the day of h's d sab .lit y, or,
in the case of the survivor, from the
day of the! soldier's death, and until
every surviving Boldier of the Union
army was placed on the pension rolls
for service only that was (he
said) wli( n it was going to
stop; and if the other side
did not like it, tley ought to make
the most cjf it.
Mr. Ingalla spoko an hur and a
half..
Mr. Blackburn took tho floor and
replied to:Mr. Ingalls in a speech as
incisive and galling as his own and
was as frequently applauded. The
discussion then ceased. At the con
clusion of Mr, Blackburn's speed),
the discussion on Mr. Wilson's amend
ment was resumed, but after half an
hour it was agreed by unanimous con
spit, at the suggestion of Mr. Sher
man, that the pension bill should be
taken up! tomorrow as unfinished
bnsiness, that debate upon it should
be under the fivo minute rule and
that the vote upon tho pending
amendments and bill should bo taken
before thej close of tomorrow's ses
sion. Adjourned.

ation of the Alabama contested elec
tion case of McDuffie against David
son.
After brief arguments by Mr. Ly
man, of Iowa, and Johnston, of Iu
diana, in;favor of the claims of the
contestant, Mr. O'Ferrall, of Virginia,
took the floor in c-upport of the ma
joriiy report. He ridiculed what he
called tho claims of the Republican
party that tho negro vote of the
South was invariably cast for ihn
nominees of that ytart-?. That bad
been true jiu years gone ti;K when tbo
negroes of the South had been under
the domination of carpet-oaggers
who bad convinced thcin that if tho
Democratic party came into power
theyAvouldte relegated to slavery.
The nerdes bad learned that their
emancipation was not the act
of the tepublicau party, uut
had been a war measure. They
had learried that there: had been
as many I Democrats as . Republi
cans in the Union army, and that
brave Democrats like Hancock and j
Thomas and Rosecrans had been gen
eral officers in that army. Ia 1884
the man of destiny had arisen. One
who knew; no sectioD, but took into
his big national heart all Sections and
extended he aegis of his protection
over North and South, over white and
colored, without disariminatioD. This
man had been called to preside over
the country and make it a union, not
only of lakes and IiokIh. bat of hearts
and handsi That year would be en
shrined in1 tho history of the country
as tho yeaj: when the embers of civil
strife had .been extinguished around
the national fireside, and the union
cemented py a policy of equal rights
to all,1 acd of fraternal
feeling land brotherly love.
The Democratic administration had
stamped as false the charges made by
tho Republican leaders in the South
that, the Democrats would deprive tho
negroes of their rightfi and liberty.
But the Republican party, hanging
on with characteristic pertinacity, had
determined not to loosen its grasp on
the colored men It sought to hold
them through their churches aud so
cieties, and when tho brother showed
a disposition to vote 'ho Democratic
ticket he wa3 threatened with expul
sion from tho church aud punishment
by the society. If he wished to vote
the Democrat ticket ho had to resort
to deception, but it was a deception
in the interest of law and order and a
free ballot. If it were not for this
system of bull-dozing by their preach
ers and leaders the liepu&lican party
would not have enough colored voters
in the South to furnish pall-bearers
at the approaching funeral of that
party in 1888. (Applause and laugh
ter on the Democratic eido).
Mr. Allen, of Michigan, inquire
whether he should deduce from tho re
mark that the more a colored man
knew down South tho less iacliued
he was to vote tho Democratic ticket.
Mr. O'Ferrall replied that no such
deduction could be made.; Tho more
a colored man knew tho more inclined
he was to vote the Democratic ticket.
Mr. Allen suggested that the
preachers knew mote thani tho lay
men and that they advised their peo
plo to vote tho Ropabliciui tickut.
Mr, O'Ferrall replied tlat tho gen
tleman did not understand tho condi
tion of affairs down South. All the
leaders tho colored peopio had
(-i C -
white or colored were office teeLeic,
and that was why they wore Republi
cans. They over-ruled the colore 1
people if Ircedom meant libeity . f
thought, of action aud of opiuioa.
The colored men of tbo South w to
as abject slaves to tha preachcis a a
they had been the day when Liucolii,
with hesitating hauJ, tig nod the
emancipation proclamation.-. Ii fioa
dom meant the full right of cliiien
ship, tlen the coloied men of the
South, by tha domination of memb.-is
their race, had been deprived of trie
sweets of freedom. It wac time that
the Democratic party should (a'ro u
stand and support and uphold lie
co ored men in thoir rigufc to vote as
they please!. (Applause). There
was a colored man in th employ of
the House whose home had buen

lim HEVE.VUE DILL.
THE WEATU OF THE EEPULLICAN MEMBERS
OF THE COMMITTEE.
By Tel rapli to the News and Observer.
Washington, D. C,, March 6 Tho
President today nominated Jabez ;C.
Street, of Alabama, to be Receiver; of
Public Moneys at Huntsville, Ala. j
The total reduction in the revenue
made by the bill presented to the
ways and means' committee today fs
about 25,000,000 made up of i20
millfons on tobacco and $5,000,000
on various special taxes removed.
The presentation of the bill was the
signal for a vigorous onslaught by the
Republican members upon their
Democratic colleagues. They round
ly denounced the majority for thvir
conduct in the preparation of this
and tho tariff bill and, their indigna
tion was heightened when the propo
sition was put and carried despite
their objection to consolidate in one
measure the tariff and revenue bills.
Mr. Reed demanded to know
upon what precedent or by what
authority the Democratic members
of the committee had departed from
the usual t lan of considering the
President's mcsssgo by sections jin
full committee and adopting the
scheme of preparing a bill alleged to
be based upon its recommendations
without affording the minority an Op
portunity to discuss in detail pro
posed changes that might involve
enormous loss and irretrievable dam
age to the couhtrv. !
Mr. Kelley joined with Mr. Rood in
vigorous protest against the methods
adopted by the major ity. ;!
Finally Mr. Breckentid.e, of Ken
tucky, offered a i isolation declaring
that the cominiUeo h-id acted fujly
within ta powers iu its preparation
and consideration of tails upon the
recommendations contained in the
President's message and he sugges
tions carried by tho various measures
introduced in the House and referred
to the committee. j
This resolution w;n adopted bjj a
strict party vote, all of the members
being present and-voting, except Mr.
Scott, of PennnySvhnia. 1
It was then suggested by the Ke
publicane, in view of the apparent
determination of the majority to e
gin immediately formal consideration
of the bill, that the manufacturers
and producers whoso interests might
be affected by tho biil might be af
forded an opportunity to address the
committee on tho subject. This
proposition did noi seem to meet with
favor at the handy cf the majority,
and some of the Democratic members
took the ground that any needful In
formation might to supplied to the
committee by mcsus of printed briefs
or arguments. 1
Mr. Reed, however, cuaractenzed
such proceedings as humbuggfry
and declared that ro informa
tion of value could bo imparted
by printed scrteds as had been abun
dantly shown in the past. He ap
pealed to the committee to allow n
proper consideration of tho . bill and
not to cut off information easily ob
tainable which would enable the
members to act intelligently .aid
without distrOying vast interests.
Otherwise the minority would be
obliged to go through the details I of
the Dill on their own account .and
with very inadequate means, of ac
quiring knowledge of the probable
effect of the proposed changes in the
tariff lawB. The session of the com
mittee lasted about an hour and
three quarters and finally, without
formally disposing of tho question-of
hearings, tho committee adjourned
till tomorrow morniug, when J it
is the understanding that considera
tion of the bill by sections will begin.
Through an error made ix. the com
pilation of the revenue bill as sent
today, both sections 11 and 14 appear
to offor independent substitutes for
section 3,255, Revised Statutes. ;As
a matter of fact it was tlio comrriit
tee's intention to consolidate the tiro
substitutes into one section.
