MATTEB OT THE FKIEDMts S SAVIKOS

liy Telegmph to the News and 0erer.
Washikotok, D. C, August 15.
H sate. Mr. Beagan gave notice that
he would tomorrow, or as soon as
convenient, submit some remarks on
the President's annual message.
Mr. Edmunds offered a resolution
instructing the committee, on finance
to inquire into the matter f deposit
with the late Freedman's Savings
Bank of Washington and to report
how many white depositorsthere were
in no way connected with the alleged
mismanagement and failure of the
bank, with the amount Of deposits
due to them respectively! ;. He said
that since the passage of the bill two
or three weeks ago to reimburse de
positors in the Freedjiarj s Bank in
favor of those of African descent and
against all others there had come to
his knowledge several instances of
poor white persons, small depositors.
One of them, a poor old Irish woman
had brought her book fast night,
showing a credit of $30 or $40. The
only reason why she was qbt entitled
to a share under the recently paired
bill was the fact that she -was not of
African descent. He said .that while
the bill was under consideration it
appeared to him that that tiort of dis
crimination was not only wrong in
principle but unjust in practice; and
the answer given to him was that the
white depositors in that bank were
persons who had got possession of it
to wreck it. J
Mr. Beck asked that the'resoiution
lie over till tomorrow, and said he
would give good reasons Nvhy white
depositors should not be reimbursed.
The resolution was laid over.
The Senate at 12 15 proceeded to
thq consideration of the fisheries
treaty in open executive session, and
Mr. Morgan resumed his argument in
favor of the resolution to - postpone
till December next. He said he had
demonstrated yesterday that the pur
pose of all the trouble and tumult in
respect of the Canadian fisheries was
but an indirect plan which, did not
disclose upon its face what was meant
by it the plan to restore the duty
on fresh hsn or to prohibit ' its intro
duction. All of the debate, all of the
contention about the . treaty
meant that and nothing else.
The intention was to force the Presi
dent of the Uni'ed States by procla
im tio a to prohibit the coming of fish
free into the United states." He had
no doubt that New England fishing
vessels were now ready to be sent to
get up trouble, and that within ten
days after the rejection of the treaty,
the President of the United States
would be asked to send vessels of war
into Canadian waters, if they were
hot seat there before thai. While
there was a door open ta arrange
ments, while all the tendencies o
American administration and all the
apparent tendencies oil 'British
administration at the : 'present
time were in the direction' of
peace and tranquility and good
order, the way had better; not be
barred, bat a free course should be
given to the influence of equity and
justice.! "
In the course of a colloquy on
this point, and after some ; allusions
to Yankees on one side and to ex-slave-holders
on the other (between
Messrs. Morgan, Frye, Dawes and
Hawley), Mr. Morgan said : "You
have not hesitated to speer aA as and
to say that we are rebels, traitors,
men not to be trustedmen who vio
lated our acts and attacked the
national flag, men whose consciences
are burdened with political sin; that
we all deserved to be hanged, and
that we are living now by your
mercy ! "and grace, -and . I
have only i said that you
did not dare to hang any of ' us. You
had Jefferson Davis under arrest
and the: United States government
did not dare to bring him to trial be
cause it would have turned out (in the
opinion of the great jurist who would
have had to try him) that he had not
committed treason.
Mr. ' Frye When the Sena
tor from Alabama . was ; making
these charges he was looking at me
I beg him to remember that : in the
whole course of this debate I have
made no charge or insinuation against
him. I am a full blooded Yankee, but
I do not know a man on that side of
the Senate for whom I hate a more
profound admiration than have for
him.
Mr. Morgan My eyes wandered
to the face of the Senator from Maine
because I knew that they tested on
an honest and benevolent face, and it
was some relief to me to have that od
portunity when looking on ihat side
of the chamber. (Laughter.)
Mr. morgan continued at some
length, and when he had concluded a
neated and general political : debate
arose, participateu in py; Messrs
George, Vest, Teller, Chandler and
Stewart. : Finally Mr. Frye asked
unanimous consent to have a vote on
Mr. Morgan's motion to postpone the
treaty till December next taken at 12
o'clock tomorrow. There was no ob
jection and it was so ordered-
; Mr. Beck called attention to the
speech recently made by Senator
oorhees in Terre Haute, asserting
that Mr. Harrison hO voted ; fifteen
times acainst the bill to restrict Chi
nese immigration, and said? that the
statement nad not been contradicted
Upon this another political deba'e
arose, the! issue being the record of
the Republican and Democratic par
ties upon the question of Chinese re
striction. 1 -l '
Mr. Allison presented the confer
ence report on the army appropria
tion bill, which, without being read,
was ordered printed in the Record to
be acted on tomorrow
The Senate then, at G.15, adjourned.
1 HOUSE
The lack of a quorum in the House
was made immediately apparent this
morning when Mr- Outnwaite, of
Ohio, called up his motion to recon
aider the Vote by which the Senate
Oolurnboa Exposition bill wat
amended by the provision for the ex
positions at Richmond, Va , Atlanta
and Augusta, Ga , and Kansas City,
Missouri. Not more than one hun
dred members voted on the question,
and Mr. Outhwaite let the matter
drop for the present.
Mr. Sayers, of Texas, moved that
the Houae go into committee of the
whole for the consideration of the
fortification appropriation bill.
Mr. Townshend, of Illinois, who
yeatN-iav autrgonized th;s motion,
said tl a' his object had been to post
pone consideration of the bill until
vhe d-ffcienres btw-eu the two
housos ud the rimv npi-op utiod bill
had been settled. He had urged the
Senate conferees to settle itie d ffer
duces but had beta una!-- ' Mfure
any action. He had therefore coi
jluded to wai uo ioug Hiid ht! ith
drew any further opposition to tbe
fortification bili.
The House then went into comn.it
tee of the whole Olr. Suruiger, of Il
linois, in the chair), on that meatun .
The pending point of ord r against
the section providing for the estab
lishment of a gua factory at V aler-
vliet arsenal was withdrawn by! Mr.
Townshend, renewed by Mr. Turner,
of Kansas, and overruled by the chair.
Mr. Nutting, of New York, offered
an amendment appropriating $500.
000 for the erection of a dry dock
and machinery,building and appliances
at some point on Lake Ontario for
the building and repairing of armed
ships. The discussion of this amend
ment took a wide range but was prin
cipally devoted to the wisdom
of providing some means
of defending the Northern frontier
from aggression from Canada in the
event of a war between the United
States and Great Britain. Here
again the antagonism between ; the
fiiends of the army appropriation bill
and those of the fortification bill
came prominently t- the front.
Mr. Nutting's amendment was ruled
Out of order, but the general discus
sion was continued by unanimous
consent an i branched off to the rela
tions to the inter-State commerce law
of those Canadian railways which
have connection with the United
States. Coming back to the bill un
der discussion again amendments
were offered and defeated providing
that the gun factory provided for, in
the bill Lad best be established: at
Alleghany arsenal instead of I at
Watervliet arsenal, at South iietnle-
hem, Pa-, or at Liberty arsenal,! in
Maine.
J (On a point of order raised by
Mr. Townshend, the section provid
ing for the appointment of a board
of defense and appropriating $2,477,
670 to meet the expenses of the said
board and for the purchase of 12 and
1G men steel guns and 12 inch cast
iron guns was ruled out. j
The committee then rose and re
ported the bill to the House. The
previous question was ordered on its
passage and then the bill went ovjer
until tomorrow. ;
The House then at 5 o'clock ad
journed.
