I By Telegraph to the Mornlns Star . SENATE Washington, February 27. Among the memorials and petitions presented and re ferred were the following: to repeal the limitations to the act granting arrears of pensions: for the passage of a per diem rated service pension bill; against the repeal of the oleomargarine bill; to place salt on the free list; for a cheap and efficient tele graph service, open to all without discrim -ination; for the repeal of the internal reve nue law on alcoholic liquors: for the remo val of the duty on books; to put tin-plate on the free list; and to increase the com pensation of the life-saving crews. On motion of Mr. Edmunds the Senate at 12 50 resumed consideration of the bill to incorporate the Maritime Canal Com pany of Nicaragua. Mr. Vest offered a resolution declaring that nothing in the act should be held or construed to involve in any manner the United States in any pecuniaiy obligation except as to the payment of tolls. Re jected 21 to 22. t After saveral other restrictive amend ments were voted down the bill was re ported back from Committee of the Whole, and the amendments agreed upon in com mittee were concurred in. Mr. Vest again offered his amendment, that the U. 8: Government should have ho pecuniary obligation in connection with the work, and it was again rejected yeas 22, nays 26. Tho bill then passed yeas 38, nays 15. Consideration of the Dependent Pension bill was then resumed. Mr. Berry moved an amendment adding another sentence to the second section, which was finally adopted, after having been several times amended on motion of different Senators. j As finally agreed to it reads: ' And who are without other adequate means of self-r support." la suggesting one of the modi fications of Mr. Berry's amendment, Mr Blair said that the Committee on Pensions had tried to. do in the bill as nearly as pos sible what the Q. A. R. desired, so as to get around, or under, or outside of the Presir dontial veto It was undoubtedly a service pension bill; but the amendment offered by tbe Senator from Arkansas would bring the bill directly within the purview of the President's veto last Congress. ! Mr. Plumb moved to strike out the word "totally" before the word "incapacitated,'' and gave notice that if his motion pre vailed he would move to amend further by providing that the pension- should bs from $4 to $12 a month, according to the de gree of incapacity. Mr. Berry argued that the striking out of the word "totally" would make the bill simply a service peo siou bill, and would practically open all the doors to all who had served in the Uoiou Hrmy, and who were not now on the pension rolls. I - j After a long discussion Mr. Plumb's motion was agreed to, and the word. "to tally" was stricken out. - la the course of debate it was developed that under the bill, as it stands, there can be no grading of pen 8ions according to the degree of disability, but all alike its beneficiaries; will receive $12 per month.. Ii -i I Mr. Plumb alao (moved ! to insert the followicg: "All pensions granted to widows uuder this, or any other general law,- sball take effect from the date of death of tbe husbands of such widows re spectively, but not dating back of the pas sage of this ac Agreed to jwithout di vision . I I ' i I .Air. Call moved an amendment to make tbe bill apply to those who served in the Florid wr, but accepted a modification of it moved by Mr. Morgan, by making it ap ply ia those who served in the war with Mexico and fori thirty dtys(in tbe war with Indian tribes ) ) ! Without disposing of this amendment, thd bill was laid aside; and Mr. Blair pro posed an amendment in order to have it printed, providing for a service pension at the rate of $10 a month. j Ah executive session wa3 held and the Senate tnea adjourned. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Under tbe call of States a Urge number of bills and resolutions werej introduced, and referred, among them several bills in creasios the amount of the pensions grant ed under the existing law fori various de grees of disability; also, one by Mr. Brow er, of North Carolina, granting amnesty for all offenses against the internal revenue law4 committed prior to February 22nd, 1883j -i I . f ! By Mr. Gaines, of Virginia, for improve ment of the public building at Petersburg, Va. . I . - i By Mr. Crain, of Texis, a joint resolu- tlon proposing amendments to the Consti tution, extending the President's term of office until April 30th, and changing the time! for the meeting of Congress to De cember 31st. I j The flxr was then accorded to the Com mtUfe on the District of Columbia. After d:p siuK ff several local bills; Mr. Wilson, of West Virginia,- offered the following minute: ' This being the day set apart for tbe consideration of business relating to the District of Columbia, this House deems ! it not inappropriate to place on record a tes timonial of respect for the memory of that eminent citizen of ! the District, the late W. W. Corcoran, who. as a munificent pa tron of art,' science and many public and private chanties, both in tne national capi tal ana lo the country at large, nas leit a memory that deserves to be gratefully cber hhf d. not only by the residents of the Dis trict of (J jlumbia, bat by the people or the country, of the workings of whose institu tions be was a conspicuous illustration The Speaker pro tern, said: "The present occupant of the chair has known the emi nent man who has been mis aiternoon buried, for nearly thirty years, and enjoyed his friendship as a jewel of great price, His urbanity, his probity, and his large- hearted benevolence, were exhibitea in an departments of human art and enterprise. This proceeding would be fitting for any day of our session, but it Is peculiarly fit ting for the dav dedicated to the .District in which he lived so long and within whose precincts bis temple of art and home of charity will perpetuato bis name and fame forever. I The minute was unanimously ordered spread upon the Journal, and tbe House at 5:30 adjourned. ; SENATE. ! Washington, Feb. 28. Among the bills introduced and referred to Committees was one by Mr. Sherman, authorizing the issue of circulating notes to National Banks to the par value of bonds deposited tbereror. i On motion of Mr; Eustis the Senate bill for the purchase of a site and the erection of a building for a postofflce, United States Courts and other government uses, in JNew Orleans, (not to exceed in cost $1,200,000) was taken from tbe calendar and passed The Senate then; resumed consideration of the' bill granting pensions to ex-soldiers and sailors who are incapacitated from the performance of manual labor, and provid ing for pensions to dependent relatives of deceased soldiers and sailors. The ques tion being on the adoption of Mr. Call's amendment, making the bill apply also to those who served in the war with Mexico or for thirty days in any of the Indian wars, the amendment was agreed to. Mr. Blair offered a resolution changing tne pnraBeoiogy of the second section, and ia explaining he said that the construction given in the debate vesterdav to tbe word "incapacitated" would make the bill one of the most far-reaching of any pension bill yet passed, inasmuch as the minimum pen sion for tbe slightest incapacity would be $12 a month. He did not believe that with that construction given to it the bill would ever cross successfully the wide waste lying between the Senate and the statute book. He thought that the Senate bad to hesitate before inserting in the bill pro visions for Indian and other wan, and should provide in it exclusively for ex- soldiers of the war of the rebellion. Mr. Msnderson appealed to the Senate to pass the bill as it had been formulated by the Pension Committee of the G. A. R. He would be glad to see the bill passed in the nature of a service pension bill; but he did not think it well to encumber the pena incf bill with that idea. Mr. Davis, who has charge of tbe bill coincided with Mr. ' Manderson in the opinion that all of the amendments adop ted yesterday should be struck out, and tbe bill left as reported unanimously from the Committee on Pensions. It had been prepared, he said, by a committee repre senung ftw.uuo member or the a. A. It.. who kaew tbe wants to be remedied and tbe needs to be supplied. Tbey had said We will be content with this. We ask do more for the present. We trust to the future for the further relief to which we are entitled." j i . ; j---.. ! Mr Plumh intimated 1 that there was something of "juggler" concealed in the bill. Tho effort seemed to be to get up a bill not to meet the wishes of Congress, but to meet tho wishes of somebody else. He repeated his belief that the G. A R. did not endorse the bill as it stood. But, whether it did or not, he was in the Senate to legislate, and to consider what was due to the ex-soldiers of the Union, and to an enlightened public! opinion. In conclu sion, he called os the Democratic members of the Committee on Pensions to express their views as to the bill. 'i , I Mr. - Faulkner, member of that committee, said that after a care ful analysis and examination ot the bill, he had niven it , bis support ia committee and would give' it his support in the Senate, unless the amendments now in It were retained. If those amendments were retained he would vote against the passage of the bill, fie declared that if the bill passed with the amendmeat of the Senator from Kansas, striking out the word "totally" before the word, ."incapacitated." the annual pension list would exceed 150 millions. It the bill was defeated respon sibility would not rest on ; the Democratic side of the chamber. It would rest on those Senators who had put the amend ments into the bill with certain knowledge of its being vetoed ; who had done it with their eyes open, and with 1 the understand ing that not only consistency but the con scious sentiment of duty, even although an election was coming on this year, would requira the same to be done now as was done last Session with a like bill. i Mr. Plumb asked Mr. Faulkner whether under the bill, as reported by tbe commit tee, a person who could perform any man ual labor would be entitled to its benefits. Mr. Faulkner replied in the negative Mr. Plumb inquired whether there would be any grading of pensions i under tho bill ? Mr. Faulkner again replied in the nega tive. Mr. Plumb asked whether he be lieved the President would veto the bill ? Presiding officer (Inealls) here interfered and said that it had been always held to be a breach of order to refer ia debate to the ection of the Executive. i Mr. Plumb expressed his regret that the Chair had not thought so when the Senator from West Virginia was speaking. Presiding officer The Chair had intend? ed before this to say, and does take occa sion now to say, that it has never been held to bt in order in debate in the Senate, to refer to the opinion of the Executive or to tho action of the Executive, as an argu ment for o' against pending legislation Mr. Faulkner said that he had no opinion whatever on the subject and had expressed none. ! ; Mr. Plumb said that he had understood the Senator from West Virginia to say that consistency if not principle, even ii there was perhaps an election pending, (whatever he might have meant by bat) would require tne IjiiI to be vetoed, find that i there I had been an ' effort to net a bill I which the PreaideDt would sign, otherwise the bill never would have got a vole on tbe other side of the Chamber "And to that complexion had it came at lsl." The Republican side of the Cbaibbir had been told that it was to take tbe responsibility of i, legislation that might not me' t the views of the President If that nas not comolete Subordination of tbe Legislative to the Executive authority, he did not see bow it could be made any more so. If the Senate was willing to put itself in that attitude he had no objection. de proposed to discuss tne question on its menis, not considering wnat tne president miitht think about it. The President was in regard to the bill in its present stage a private citizen no more, no less His opin ion miizht be good or might be bad, but he could only express it in a way provided by the Constitution and laws. At all events Senators were not to put themselves prone on their fronts, and ask the President in advance whether he was going to sign an act ! Mr. Teller pro ested agninst the Senate being threatened with the Executive veto; He had never beard or such a tuing neiore in the Senate, and be hoped he would never hear it again. It seemed to him to he a great degradation to the. Senate for a Senator to be governed in nis veto dj wcat the Kxtcutive thought or felt or wanted Mr .Buck hoped tbo Senator from Colo rado would tell tho Senate what be thought of the speech of the Senator from Nebras ka (sianaereon). aa 10 me action oi tne u. A. R beneficiaries under the1 bill as to what their lodges eud posts bad determined that ihe Senate should do; and how far that was legitimate 1 The Senator from Nebr-HS had told the Senate that the ac tion of tbe Committee on Pensions in re porting the bill had grown out of the action of the G A R., which was to be itself a beneficiary under the bill.' The Senator's speech, he said, was more degrading to the Senate than any allusion to the f resident's action on the bill could be.j t Mr. Blhckbmu said hedeorecated viola tion of that very proper rule which prohib ited a Senator or Representative from un dertaking to influence legislative action by any reference to the presumed course of tbe Executive, lie had beard that rule violated by three Senators Davis,; Manderson and Blair. These Senators bad all said that the biil had to be framed and fashioned to avoid a veto message at the hands of tbe Execu tive. He dul not snow; what authority they had for the statement But he did know that there was but one political organization in the country to-day which was in a penect marcuing oraer ready to take the field with knapsacks packed and all things ready. It was the G- A. R. which represented the only efficiently organized political system on the continent to-day. . Tbe Senator from Ne braska, who so abiy championed tne Din, bad told the Senate and the country that the bill was a demand made by the G- A. R., and had protested substantially . against any material amendment of it, because that organization had formulated what ? Not its petition to an American uongress; out its demand on an American Congress for legislation in which, as his colleague had said, it was itself to be the, beneficiary. If tbe Senator from Nebraska was to be ac cepted as authority, the biil was not a peti tion but a demand sent to Congress by the ere at and well organized and perfectly systematized political agency that proposed to remove the trouble which environed both houses; to do away with revenue bills and tariff revisions and the abolition of the internal revenue taxation, and todis pose of the Treasury surplus by such bill as this. And that was to be the only practical solution to be offered by the Republican nartv for the financial difficulties in which the country was involved, j He denied that the Senator from Minnesota, Nebraska or New Hampshire, or any othar Senator, had anv richt or authority to charge or to inn mate that the President had made up bis mind to veto the bill if it - went to him in one shape or in another shape. 1 After some remarks by Messrs. Mander son and Blair, Mr, Blackburn went on to say that it was not to be wondered at if those Senators in their zeal should under take to warn the super-loyal of the land against tbe disloyal policy of tbe loyal Executive. If those Senators were unwill ing to eubmit a bill for the determination of an American Congress, but insisted that it should go through in stereopty ped form atter the procrustean fashion because the G. A. R so decide, and if itney want to dis pose of the surplus ia the way and no other, they Treasury in that should be frank enough to face the issue and to go to the country upon it. After further debate by Messrs. Teller, Hoar, BlacKburn, Blair the bill went over without action, and the 0 A 1 1 . . -n 1 . I otsDBie proceeueu 10 .Executive Business, and at 5 p. m. adjourned.; HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. In the morning hour the House resumed in Committee of the Whole consideration of the bill for the organization of the Ter ritory of Oklahoma. i Mr. Barnes, of Georgia,1 gave notice that he would at the proper time offer a eubsti tute for the appointment of a commission to negotiate with Indian Territory with a view to opening up that portion of the Territory lying west of the 08th meridian ot longitude to white settlers. He said was with regret that he found himself compelled to oppose the report which had been made by the majority of the Com mittee on Territories: but the pending bill was subject to euph serious objections that he could not conscientiously give it his approval. ' ' ! k; Mr. Warner, of Missouri, suggested that if the gentleman's substitute were adopted one small tribe of 100 Indians could block ud the whole Territory. Mr. Barnes replied that the difference between tha bill and the substitute was that the former proposed to' organissthe Territory and tkca. negotiate with tha In dians, while the latter provided that ntgo- tiations should be bad, and that no treaty rights should be violated . The morning hour expired and the Comm itsc rose without action. The House then went into Committee of the Whole, (McMillin. of Tennessee, in the chair), on public buildings measures. The four hundred thousand, dollar appro priation for Omaha (reduced from $500 - 000), was passed.) i Mr. Bland opposed the next bill, (a C50.- 000 appropriation for Bar Harbor, Maine), which brought mi. MUliaen to. his feet in defence of the bill. Mr. Bland said for the last few days the gentleman from Maine had been running around like a cockroach on a kitchen floor, and now his excitement was explained by the appear ance of this Bar tlarbor Din. Mr. Milliken thought that the gentleman from Missouri (Bland) was like the old woman who borrowed a kettle for forty vears. Then she sot a new one of her own and declared she would neither borrow nor lend. Tbe gentleman had got $146,000 for a building at his little town of Jeffer son City, which was neither so large nor so important as Bar; Harbor, and now he did not want any other man to have a public building. - r The appropriation was redueed to S35,- 000 and the bill was agreed to. The next bill called op was that for the erection of an appraisers' building in the city of New York. Tbe bill contains al ternative propositions for the purchase of a site and erection of appraisers' stores at a cost limited to a million and a half dollars, and for the purchase of a single site suit able for erecting a combined custom house and appraisers' stores; or. two sites con venient to each other and suitable for cus torn bouse and appraisers' stores detached from each other. 1 The cost of such a site or sites is limited to a million and a half dollars The bill was advocated by Mr. Dibble, of South Carolina, and Mr. Cox, of New York, who explained the uectssity of accommodations for the publie business provided in the bill, and said that the pro ceeds of tbe sale of the present custom house property on Wall street, estimated to be worth three million dollars, would defray all the expenses of the ne w build iajja, better adapted to the contemplated uses and in a more convenient locality The biil was agreed to uuatiimouMy. Bills were 'also screed to increasing to $300,000 the limit of the cost of the build ing at Charleston, S C. ; appropriating $100,000 for an inter State building at Texarkana, afud $100,000 for a building at Columbus, Gk . and appropriating $125.- 000 for the purchase cf additional ground at Indianapolis, lad. Ia speaking to one or tr.eee measures Mr. Kennedy, oil Ohirt. arraigned the Dem- icratic party in the House for failure to redeem its pledges ot economy, tariff re form and ca'e for veteran soldiers, and asserted that the! November eleetion would visit retribution upon their heads. Mr. Dibble considered that ihe issue which divided tbe two political parties was of nrr.aier an i more serious nature than Ihe ert-cion of buildings for the convenience of public business and thought that both side? of the Hpuse, whatevt-r might be their differences jon paity questions, should conMdt-r business propositions without get- fiot: into political controversies.

SENATE Washington Feb. .'29. Several peti tions and remonstrances were presented. against any revision of tbe present tariff, or any legislation tending to ciipple tbe lcdtmrirs of tne country. iney came from bodies representing the iron and stt-el. hat making and wool manufactuiing industries, and Iwcie referred to tho Com mittee on Finance Mr Sherman, from the Committee on Foreign Relations, reported a bill loamez.d the acts relating to Chinese immigration, and said he would as scon as practicable use the ifenHte to take action on it. Cnkn dar . ' The bill to provide for the compuls-Kv education, of Indian children Was taken from tbe calendar. Mr West's bill of last stsiinn, h&ving a similar cnect, was suusu- tuttd for it, and it was passed after having been amended. ta motion of Mr. Cil, so as to include the Indians of Florida within iu provisions. The bill makes it tbe duly ibe Secretary of tbe Interior to establish. under such rules and regulations as he may think proper, an industrial boarding school cu every Iudian reservation upon whicb tberc may be located any Indian tribe sum' beting 500 or pore adult Indians. Ihe Secretary is to cause an enumeration of children of such Indians between the ages of eight and eighteen vears to be made at least once in every two years, and to cause such childiea to be placed in schools so estab lished and there kept for a period not ex ceeding five years. Children so placed in sttcb fccbool are, to be taught, in addition to reading, writing, arithmetic and geography, u-eful labor The Dependent Pension bill was then tat en up. Mr. Wilson, of Iowa, moved an amend ment to insert the words "from infirmities of age," so as! to pension all ex-soldiers suffering "from infirmities of age or from mental or physical disability." in the de bate which took place on tbe amendment. Mr. Plumb delivered an eloquent eulogy on the army, referring particularly to the fact that when tbe war closed tbe army could have placed one of its leaders at the bead of tbe government and could have dicta ted its own terras, but had asked nothing except to be permitted to disband and re turn to peaceful avocations. He did not believe that spy patriotic man any man who looked with patriotic fervor on that portion of the country's history when two million of men sprang to arms to maintain the government, would even be willing to oppose the enactment of any law whereby any of the men should be drawn from the ban cf poverty and given at least a decent livelihood. The bil, as it came from the committee, was, perhaps, a 6tep in the right direction. It was not what it ought to be, and he had sought to make it better. There was to be, he said, no insinuation in the Senate or elsewhere that Union soldiers were to be beneficiaries under the bill jin the sense of being sup pliants or unworthy persons. He did not think that partisanship would go that far, and if it did, he believed that the American : people would re fute it. Congress was not now deal ing with slender resources, but was dealing with abundance. Lees than the pending bill proposed would not be just; more was not asked for. Mr. Vest said that he had not bad the slightest idea when he spoke to Mr. Wil son's amendment, of producing the burst of patriotic fervid eloquence which the Senate had just listened to. i They had heard a good deal about almshouses and veteran soldiers. In the State, of Missouri there were no Federal soldiers in almshouses, and be was proud to say that there were no Confederate soldiers in the almshouse either. When Gen. Lee surrendered at Appomattox there was but 8,000 muskets left of that splendid army which had faced thewoild in arms, and which bad been battered and beaten back by overwhelming numbers Out of the companies which bad gone into that terrible struggle from 125 to 180 men strong, only ten had gone back to their kindred and their homes. The South to day was covered with maimed and crippled soldiers, who had been shot and shelled and sabre-struck for their honest convictions, and they asked no pen sion, and would not take it. Tbey were not in almshouses and none of them had ever been seen begging for bread. Whence, then. came tbe talK of Feneral soldiers in alms houses? They were opt there. He wag tired and sick of the insinuations of robbery and pretence and hypocricy in tbe name of the true and gallant soldiers of the Union. He had nersonal friends among them. and. as he had said before, he would give to every disabled or dependent soldier of the Fede ral army, and widows and orphans of those who bad lost their lives in service.the last acre of land and the last dollar. He would have done the same for Confederate soldiers, "if God bad blessed our cause." Why talk that Congress had not done enough for Union soldiers when the coun try had paid since 1865 eight hundred and eighty-three millions oi aouars ior pen sionsliberality unparalleled in the history of the world I The Senate had been told to-day that the country owed the soldiers a debt of eternal gratitude because they had not, with taailed hand, aeiced the gov ernment. The irreat military and political organimtion the Grand Army of tho Re- puDUo-Had thrown its iance into ine ae bates or Congress, and had sent bills to their accredlted'8enators for the purpose of being enacted. When the President of the United States bad honestly and bravely discharged his executive duty and vetoed an enactment which Le considered improper, he had been threatened by the officers of that organization with personal insult if he dared to make .his presence known in the city where it held its annual meeting. There was a limit to human endurance. He had voted for pension bills, coerced by his posi tion, because he bad been a Confederate, and because he was honestly anxious for the honor and. glory , of the country. He bad voted for them because be wanted to evidence to the world that the men with whom he had acted in the unfortunate strife respected the fair and gallant soldiers of the Union, and were willing to give them even more than they demanded; but be re peated with strong emphasis, "there is a limit; and I have reached it." I will be driven no further by claim agents and plunderers in the garb of soldiers. For the honest and brave and real soldiers of tbe Union I am willing lovote any amount of pensions. In this city is a corps of men engaged in inventing lecislation to take more money out of the Federal treasury. The report of the Commissioner of Pen sions shows that when tbe arrears of pen sions act of 187JNsvas passed, there were some 30,000 applications for pensions pend ing. The very next year the number of ap plicants lumped to 110.000. Claim agents invented that law and put the limitation on it, and the number of applications for pen sions jumped in one year from 80.000 to 110.000, and the amount of disbursements from thirty millions to fifty-seven mil lions. Mr. Vest went on to say that of 2.300. 000 men enrolled as soldiers- during the four years of the war, there were a p plica tions from 1,200,000 for pensions on ac count t'f disability. Such military execu lion, be said, bad never been known in the history of the wh.le oorld. The Confede rates had ihougbt that tbey had poor pow der and ordnancn sioies; and yet. making due allowance for the effect of climate in producing disability, it would appear that one Confederate soldier, half-clothed and half fed. had disabled three of his ad versaries. There had been ho such de struction In military annals since the chil dren of Israel marched through the wil dern st, destroying whole nations in a single day. The marksmanship of the PersUn Prince in the Arabian Nights, whose arrows crossed mountains and rivers and !tfcistd space ia their flight, had been aqtbiug to that of tbe Confederate soldier. His bullet must have hit two or more at the same time and struck. where it was not aimed . Fif ;y per cent, of the Union army were applicants for pensions on account of disability. "Who," he asked, "believed that; they were honest applicants T Who believed that these pension bills had not degenerated into political abuse which cried aloud in the faces of all honest men for redress?" He had great; regard for many of his friends on the opposite side of tbe chamber; and in the words which be had spoken, be had wished lo give an op portunity to some of them, who bad lurk ed i bck in the contest over the bill, to ibiow bis fcbininif lance among "the Confederate brigaditrs," and try to carry off a Republican fur the Presidency. Tbe recent dispatch frony Paris had caused politienl candidates to income as thick "Vs leaves in Valambrosa." Befoie thatdispatch had comeuider the yeastly waves of lh.: ocean, the Republican parly had been tu the condition of the man who having gone home some hours before bis usual, time in the morning, and having been asked wby be bad gone home so soon, replied that every other place in town was shut up. The doors of the Republican party were now open, end Presidential candidates were coming to tbe front with out limit ss to quantity or locality. The Senate had been engaged for some days past in a political auction for the soldier vote. First had eome his friend from Nebraska, (Manderson), backed by the G. A R , and be (Vest) had listened with real gratification to his dulcet and modulated voice from tho beginning to the end of his speech. Even that Senator's flings at the President of the United Slates had not detracted from the general merit of bis bid for tbe soldier vote, and when he received a floral tribu-.e as a token of regard from bis admiring constituents be hind him, he (Vest) had but one single suggestion to make, and that was that lilies should have been embroidered over the por tals pf the White House. That was the object of all debate, of all ; the bidding for the sotdier vote or tne country in tne coming contest. When tbe Senator from Nebraska took his seat be (Vest) bad thought that the bid was in hia favor, but when the present occupant of the Chair, the Senator from Maine (Frye) had caught tbe eye of the auctioneer the Grand Army of the Republic and had "gone one bet ter," that Senator was prepared to vote a pension to every man who bad served a day in tbe Federal army. He (Vest) was about to knock down the prize to the Sena tor from Maine, when his friend from Kan sas (Plumb) came to the front and out-bid the Senator from Maine by an amendment to the bill which would increase the ex penditure under it fifty or seventy-five mil lion dollars. He (Vest) had then been strongly of tbe opinion that the auction should close and tbe prize be given to the Senator from Kansas; but the Senator from Illinois (Cullom) had come to the front and made a bid from that great prairie State which had staggered his (Vest's) convic tions as to the propriety of closing the sale. Since that time he had been in a condition of anarchy, waiting to hear from other bidders in the great national auction, ihe Senator had not yet heard from his dulcet toned friend from Iowa (Allison) who has kept his seat and merely nodded acquies cence to tbe most extreme propositions for the benefit of the ex-30ldiers.; Nor had the Senate yet heard from the distinguished Senator from Ohio (Sherman), who in such a contest ought certainly to come to the front and bid something for the vote which (candidates thought) was to determine the contest. Neither had tbe Senate heard from the presiding officer (Ingalle), who had been nominated by the District ot uoium- bia and every one knew that Ihe District of Columbia only acted from the most dis interested and unselfish motives. He (Vest) would rather have a nomination from the District of Columbia than from any State in the Union, because as every one knew it came from the heart and never from the pocket. No man, woman or child in the District had any other object than the promotion of the national honor and prosperity. And so, when he read in a Democratic paper of Washington last Sun day before attending church that the presiding officer ot the senate was tne nom inee of tbe District of Columbia, he said : "Eureka 1 We have found a man at last, and the question is finally settled." Tbe whole of Mr. Vest's speech was lis tened to with tbe closest attention by Sen ators and by the audience in the galleries; and his felicitous saetch or Republican candidates and their supposed respective bids for the soldier vote seemed to be en joyed with equal zest on both sides of the Chamber. In conclusion, Mr. Vest said: "Partisan or nonpartisan, my convictions require me to vote against the bill; and I say here now that I hope it may die the death in the other branch of the National Congress; and if not there, at the hands of the Executive. If that be unparliamentary, make tbe most of it." After further brief speeches from Messrs Teller and Plumb, Mr. Wilson, of Mary land, a member of the Committee on Pen sions, declared himself opposed to the bill as U now stood amended. He gave the flcures of tho enormous amounts paid in pensions, and thought that the people were opposed to any luriner extension oi tne pension system. It was time to call a halt. The bill as originally reported would make the neneion list amount (he saidi to tea hundred millions; with the amendment put on to it the amount expended would be one hundred and twenty-five - millions, and probably more. Without taking a vote on the bill or the pending amendment, the Senate proceeded to executive ousiness, and at o.su aa journed. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Mr. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, rising to a question of personal privilege, sent to the mark's ifoak and hud roarl n, disnatch from Washington to a Boston paper.in which he is given as autnonty ior tne statement tuat it would be the policy of the Republicans of the House to obstruct the passage of any tariff measure before the meetins of the National Convention at St. Louis. He owed it, he said, to his Republican col leagues, as well as to himself, to say that he had not indicated such a policy for them or for himself. He had made no statement from which a fair-minded and honorable man eouM draw sueh a eonelu sion. Mr Mills, iif Tpim tlafoH that tho Hon relary of the Trea6uiy had been authtirizad by the law of the 8rd vf March. 1881, to buy or redeem bonds with surplus imoce; in the Treasury, but this authority had never been exercised; the fact that authori ty had been civen in tha Annrrnriatlnn liH seemed to raise a doubt whether it extend ed bevond the neriod covered hv that hill The Secretary of the Treasury had,! prior ms i uuo, uonas suojeci to can sumcient employ the surplus money, and after at time he could purchase bonds for e sinkinar fund.
