' SENATE. Washington. December 10. At one o'cluca the Senate nsumed consideration of the Tariff bill, the pending Question being on Mr. Harris' amendment to reduce tbe duty on beams, girders. joists, axes, and all structural shapes of . iron or steel, from one and one-tenth cents per pound to six-tenibs ot a cent per pound. Tne amendment was advocated by Mr. Reagan, but as Mr Mcpherson desired to tier soma amendments at the beginning of be metal schedule, Mr Harris temporarily withdrew the amendment. - Mr. McPuerenn thereupon moved to amend paragraph 120, aa vo troa 10 pigs, ecu , oy reauciog tne raie r auty Irom ihreu tenths of a cent per pound to six dollars a ton.

Sherman s remarks, the Senate at 4 p m adjourned HOUdE OF REPRESENTATIVES Under the call of States a number' of mils and resolutions were introduced and eferrer ' Mr. Holman asked for tbe present con- -tidtiraiuiu of me following resolution: Whebsas. It is publicly charged in tbe public preaa and otherwise, that in general lections of recent year, involving tbe elec'ioo of President &vd Vice-President of toe TJ tiled Slates, and members of Con ress large sums of money have been vol untanl, coo ti touted and expended in van us ways, for the purpose of influencing nd conirollmg aucn elections; and whereas -ucb contributions and expenditures tend 11 debase the elective franchise, corrupt lie ballot-box and impair tbe vigor atd puri'v f our free institutions: therefore aetolved. That the Committee on Ju 1- tar be instructed to investigate said narges, and to uq tire what legislatii n is neceoary and proper to suppiess ucb cot in uuons and expenditures and to preserve ml maintain tbe fredm and pun y of me elective franchise, wun author! y to re- .ort at any time by bill or otherwise. A ceoiaod for the regular order by Mr. vVilkius. of Ohio, and Mr. Weaver, ol I iwa. operated as an objection to the reso- unon. - Mr Holman then r auwted its reference to ihe Committee on Judiciary, wLiub was lone, and tbe House went into Committee ' the Whole on tbe District of Columbia Appropriation bill. At 8.50 p m. the House ad lurned. SENATE. ' Wbbtsgton Dec 11 Mr Fr , e's reso- ution ot veaierday, instructing tbe Com nittee on Foriitn Relations to squire into be state of affairs at the Bamoan 1 -lands. as reporud oackfrom tbe Committee on Contingent Bipenses. and was ar ed to The Senate then at 12 4U resumed Ihe consideration of the tariff bill, tbe pend ng question being Mr. Harris' amend meut to reduce the duty on b-ams girders &c . from - one and one-tenth cents per oouod tosix-sixteenibsof a cent. Mr. Vest, referring to Mr Bhtrmsn s NDetCb of vesterday. denied tbe assertion nai ihe late election bad settled the quea ion of tariff legislation He was not dis- ieartened by. that result. ir tbe tSnior rom Ohio and bis party thought that ihe election bad settled tbe tariff Question, a greater mistake bad never been made by atonal man. The Question would last as og as the country endured, because it in volved a fundamental difference in be construction of tbe Constitution, aide 'n m the policies of tbe Government If be positioo of the Republican pr y 10- lav was the correct one, (that of uuiimiltd axation for the purpose of protection), tbe wr would never cease, because it was in uial.tdgmeot a subversion of the prioci plea of tbe government and of its autono my Uuless he was very much mistaken to the American people and bad studied a urn an nature in vain, the result was jusi as sure to tbe course of time as that be tood in the Senate .chamber to-day. But hat he bad particularly wished to say was, that although tbe tenaior I rom unto .night be right in stating that the election was a triumph of protective principles, be tosolulely denied in the most emphatic vrms that it settled the question as to tbe let ails of tbe Bill. Finally, after a long debate, the vote was taken on Mr Harris' amendment to reduce be duty on steel beama &c, from 1 1 10 cents per pound to 1 16 cent per pound The amendment was rejected yeas 20, oavs 29. The amendment offered by Mr jnnes, or Arkansas, to make cotton ties free of duty ave rise to a long discussion, participated in by Messrs Jones, of Arkansas. Berry. Vlcrberson and Vance on one side, and by Messrs. Dawes. Aldricb and Stewart on tbe -tber. It was not disposed of. the Senate a-oing into executive business and adjourn ing at 5 10 p. m. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, After the reading of the Journal the House went into Committee ot the Whole ( dr McCreary. of Kentucky, in the chair), on the Direct Tax bill. Mr Allen, of Mississippi, yielded to what be said was a general flesire on tbe part of members to hear him talk upon a proposition which involved great constitu tonal Questions, tie could nod no warrant In the Constitution, he said. or the refunding of the direct tax. Advoc-tt s of the bill believed in constitu mnal limitations, but thought that limita tions should be on somebody else and not on themselves ine principle or tne out was bad that the tax should be refunded tecatue some Slabs had not paid it. He could cite a parallel case, - An honest d.s- uller migbl, for peculiar reasons, locate bis still in a secluded spot and na.s a rua of good old apple jauk. It might be that ia bis haste to k ratify human thirst be wmld forget to call upon the collector The logic of this bill was. that if the Go- v rnment found ltat a distiller bad not paid the tax. tbe tax should be refunded to tbose distillers who bad paid it. He did not believe that any of tbete back tax 8 should ba refunded. The best thing for Congress to do was to spit on tbe slate and rub out these questions, and give its atten tion to the present and future. But if Congress was going into tbe business of righting the wrongs of the past, he wished to call attention to the cotton tax. He pictured the condition of the South when the Confederate soldiers, returned to their homes. It was "a condition and not a theory'-' which bad confronted them Laughter. He described (after begging pardon tor personal reminiscences) the "I. O." (inspected and condemned) horse and the bull tongue plow v.uh which he started to raise cotton: the loy which he fell at being the possessor of a paper collar, (which he assured tbe gentle men might with judicious turning be made to last a whole summer) of his aspirations to be the possessor of a black coat, and of bis failure to secure one on account of the tax which he had to pay upon his cotton The tax amounted to one-fourth the value of the cotton, while it did not enhance its mice one cent. If taxes were to be refund ed. this cotton tax was the first which should be dealt with; and he gave notice of an amendment which would constitute the cotton tax fund as so educational fund for States which had paid Jt.- : - rending further debate the com mil lea rose, and the Sneaker laid before the House a communication - from the- Secretary of State, enclosing the final ascertainment or the result of the election for President and Vice President in tbe States . of New Jer sey, Kansas, Alabama, Louisiana,' Missou ri, alary land, north Carolina and Georgia. Laid. on tbe table. ?. -.'". V The committee then resumed its session. Mr Elliott, of South Carolina, generally favored the bill, though he thought it should be amended in some particulars. and he cited as an Instance of the hard ships which the direct tax had given riso to, the case of Beaufort, 8 C . where in or der to collect a tax of - $11,000,- property valued at $517 000 had been sold. Mr. Herbert, ol Alabama, opposed tbe bill on constitutional grounds and because it would work an injustice Passing to discussion of the cotton tax. he argued that it was unconstitutional, as that it was not uniform. Tax on cotton was a tax on the only industry upon which the people of the South must live. I - --. v . Mr. Buloe. of Tennessee, declared that the bill was sustained neither by law nor ny precedent He denounced it as a sub let luge and fraud, and charged that its aim b to perpetuate the power of trusts to exact tribute rnm the . people by means .of a high tariff. Referring to the eot- ton tax, he attaoxed it on constitutional grounds, and spoke In favor of tbe pro posed amendment for refunding tbe tax as far as possible to persona who paid it and rest ring the remainder, as a common school fund. Mr Dibtile. of South Carolina, stated that it was a mistake to suppose - that the State of South Carolina was in default in regard to tbe direct tax As a matter of fact more than its quota bad been paid in - He tbongbt that tbe refunding of tbe lax was a thoroughly constitutional and eqmiable proposition. fending runner debate tbe cmnmiitee rose and the Huse at 5 o'clock adjourned "I ' , SENATE. .V., "'"'. ' , Washington December 12 There wss but Utile id rning business so the Tariff bi I was quickly taken up, the question be- in on tbe amendment off -red by Mr Jones, of Arkansas, to admit "boop or band iron,' cotton ties. iSc . free of duty. instead of taxing it two-ieaihs of one per cent per pound additional. Mr Berry said that tbe proposed tax illustrated the absolute injustice of the whole protective ld-a running tbrough the Senate Tbe substitute article tn queeimn was not manufactured in the Uni.ed Estates It the tax waft removed that fact would not injure any business interest in the United Slates. It was a mere proposition to force the farmers of the country to pay 1.08 per cent doty on the value of the article Mr Hiecock,' a member of tbe Finmce Committee avowed bis-own understanding tbatthe substitute was a political mea sure: a division between parties upon the tariff was a political division.. The tariff discusssioo was temporarily interrupted, and on motion of Mr. Hall tbe House till maklog an appropriation for the contingent fund of the House i was p assed. . i - I Tne presiding cmcer at a o ciock pre sented as a tpecial order for that hour the Uoion Pacific funding bill, but as Mr. Allison insisted oa proceeding wiib the tariff bill, and said be would do so uoti I it was concluded, the funding bill went over, retaining all its rights as a special order. Mr. Kiddleberger gave notice that he would move every morning to take up his resolution for tne consideration in open session of tbe British extradition treaty Mr. Morgan i characterized the proposi tion to tax cotton ties as a very heariiess and cruel thing. Ii was tbe duty of the Senate to try and lift tiurdens off the S it ttxra people, instead of raising (as the sutiamute propostd) ibe dutyon cotton ties 1UU pr cent ue 8 pose or tee increase of tbe cotton product of the 8- u h 3 000, 000 hales in 1860 to over 7,000 000 bales m 1888. and said that the incr -sse was the product of the labor of white men, white women and white children Black wi m n no longer worked in the cotton fields tbey did before the war. and black boys no longer worked at that or any other indue try. In fact. Bedouins in the streets of Al exandria, in Eypt, were a more prominent race of people to day than were tbe young negroes of tbe south, and that was not tbe fault of tbe white people of the South Re ferring to tbe suggestion tbat the cotton lies industry might be successfullv prosecuted in Alabama, be said that there was no d u it ot bat but that be found two classes of people in his State one class prospering. and the other class continually going down. one earning money by taiff- or indepen pently of tariffs, and ibe other losing money y tbe drainage oi the una, ano that it ws his duty as a legislator to relieve those in distress first; to try to build up indus tries tbat need help before trying to make men rich who now got rich in spite of competition from Pennsylvania or Enuland. Tbat was the situation of tbe iron industry in Alabama. Ii did not need tariff legisla- m n Ue bexougbt tbe Senate, in nebaif of the gn-at cotton industry, not to impose higher burdens upon It than now existed. but to reduce such burdens. But here was a bill, be said thai raised the duty on cot ton ties 100 per cent. Mr. Call argued tbat tbe tax on cotton ties came within tbe constitutional inhibi tion of levying a tax on exports. Finally tbe amendment was voted on. and was n ji-cied by a strict party vote ess 18; nay 23. Mr. Call moved an amendment reducing the duty on cotton ties to 85 per cent, ad valorem. ... Without action on tbe amendment, tbe Saoate at 5 o'clock adjourned, after agree ing to a request by Mr. Piatt, tbat if tbe paragrapba on cutlery and dearma should he reached before Monday, they should be passed over infcrmally. as. be would be ab sent from tbe 8enate until then.

Mr Clain. of Texas, raised a point of order, which waa. tuUained by the chair, and the amendment was ruled out. Mr. Johnston also offered an amendment for refund of the suri lus in the treasury. to 8tates which paid the same under tbe internal revenue laws. ' Ruled out . Mr Eluott. Of South Carolina, offered an amendment making it the duty of tht Secretary of the Treasury to pay to such persons as shall apply therefor and furnish satisfactory evidence, that such applicant was. at tbe time of the sales hereinafter mentioned, the legal owrer or heir at law. or devisee of tbe legal owner of such lands as were sold in the paiisbes of St Helena and St Duke's in 8outb Carolina, under acs of Congress, value of said lands, in tbe manner following: To owners of lots in the town of Beou'ort. the value assessed f or tuXUion by tbe Called- Slates district tax commtsslon'trs for 8 C i to owners of lands which t were rented for taxation by tbe State of South Carolina as being usually cultivated i r capable of cultivation. : $106 pi r acre for each acre - returned on proper tax book; to owners of all other lands $1 per acre In all cases where persons while serving in the army or navv or marine corps purchased any of said lands, and afterwards reverted to the United States, it shall be the duty of the Secretory of the Treasury to pay to such persons as shall in each case apply therefor, or to their heirs at law. devisees, or grantees in good faith and for valuable consideration, whatever turn was so paid to the United States in such case. . ; Tbe bid authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to credit to each State and Terri tory and tbe Diatrict of Columbia, a sum uiual to all collecti ons by set-off or other wise mad f rom said 8iates and Territories and the .District of Columbia, or from any of the citizens or inhabitants thereof, or other persons under the apt of Congress approved Anvui-t 6, 1861, and remits an money still due the United States oo quota of direct tax. ill appropriates such sums as may oe necessary to reimburse esch mate.

Rijected. Mr Allen, of Mississippi, moved Ko amend the amendment' by proposing tbat the money so refunded shall be turned into the common school fund Rejected. Mr Wheeler, of Alabama, offered an amendment providing that the money re funded shall be applied to the payment of pensions ' to three months' men . who eo listed prior to tba draft. Mr. Allen, of Michigan, opposed the amendment. .. The. States, he said, did not proposo to "pay . pensions. The war bad been for the preservation of tbe Union, and he United Slates government would al ways assume the responsibility He would tell the gentlemen on the other side why the North bad been solid at the last elec tion. Tbe priocipal reason was because she was afraid o' sucb lenders as bis friends from Alabama Messrs Oats and Wheeler. Let the new South send men here who were not battle-scarred in favor of rebellion. Let such men come here and represent tbe new Sou h. and there would be no solid North But as long as the gentlemen on tbe other side, when pensions were asaed for, ta ked of levying an income tax or something of that kin . just so long tbe North would distrust them, and justeo loog ha . would vote tbem down.
