The ayes and noes being taken on Holman's amendment, retain ing title in the Government to coal mines found on j public lands, butl allowing entrymen i to mine such coal deposits until Congress acts further in the matter, the amendment was adopted and the bill passed. ! j j On motion of Scott, of Pat, a resolu tion was passed granting leave to gov- ernmcnt employees who had participa- ted in the battle of Gettysburg, to attend the anniversary of that battle jnere. j j When Mills called up the tariff bill to-day, Kelley, of Penn., suggested, on his individ ual responsibility, as a means of expe diting an; adjournment, that the tariff 1 . i bill be laid aside until next session its fate then to depend upon the result of the November elections; and that the - 1 1 surplus be kept down by tarl entire rej jxral of the tobacco tax. j Mr. Mills rejected the suggestion and - .it 1 made a cunter-proposal that the re publicans should fix an earlv day for taking a final vote on the bill. j Reed, of Maine, declared fiat Kelley spoke for himself alone, and thai the re publicans would insist upon pointing out the defects of the bill in detail. j Breckeni Idge, of Ky.. declared that the democrats intended to hayeja jvote on the bi'l unless the fourth of March was reached, by obstruction. He jchallenged the republicans to put their plat-form in the shape of a legislative proposition' and then take a test vote :beween tliat "and the pending bill, letting it go to the Senate if passed by the House. He sug gested that a vote be taken a the end of ten legislative days. j Reed replied that a minority could not pass the bill it would be absurd to try it. I ! ' Sprinerer, of T,,,s., endeavored to have considered a resolution qire directing: the committee on ways and means to report a date for taking the vote, but Kelly ob jected. ; Demands for regular order Cut off fur ther discussion, and the House then went into committee of the whole c n the tar iffbill. McComas, of Md., moved to strike out line 87, "coal tar, crude." Lost, as were motions to amend other lines relating to coal tar products and to dye 'voods and! decoctions. j j At the instance of Russell, of Mass., al izarine colors were added to the free list. " . i; j. I Mills offered a committee a nendment, which was adopted, striking c ut line 9G, "bone black, iyory and bone char." Breckenridcre. of Arkansas, also offered ; substitute for lines 99 to 103 inclusive, relating to essential oils, eteCjo The sub stitute, .which was adopted, flames spe- cificallv olive, salad, cottonseed; whale,! seal and neatsfoot oils, as entitled to free! entry, cmna ciay, or xaonn, jwassincK- en out and the line was replaced) by an- other, placing on the free list un wrought ; glass for use in the mrnufacturp of optical, instruments, spectacles and eVeglasses. Another general political debate arose upon the motion of Buchanan, of N. J., to strike out "brick other than fire: buck." The amendment was defeated, j Mills offered a committee a(mendment placiug German looking-glass plates on; the free list, but at the sueriicstion of the matter was Kilo wed td Bayne, of Pa eo over until to-morrow. The commit- mittee then rose, and the House, at 5.10,, adjourned. j senate. Washington, D. C, June 27. House bills were reported and placed on the calendar, authorizing the ; construction ot railroad bridges across the Oconee liver, in Ga; Flint river, in Ga: Tennesse river, at Lamb's Feny, Aln; W'arrior and Tombigbee river, in Ga. j The Senate then took up the river and harbor appropriation bill. The appro-! pilation for Philadelphia harbor was the, first to provoke discussion, but it was agreed to. The amendment increases the appropriation from $250,000 to $550,-j 000, and provides that $300,000 of tha amount may be expended for the pur chase i of Smith's Island, Wjnd Mil Island and Petty Island, in the harbor. An amendment sti:kinsr oilt the item of $100,000 for improving Winyaw Bay Georgetown, S. C, and inserting in lieu a provision for the board of iy enginf eers to examine Capt. Bixy's p; an for im-j provement, was discussed length.; The resist was that at some I he appro priation Was retained and the provision was also inserted. M 1 I AmonF other amendments aereed to f-9 ' were the following : - ! Increasing" the anoroDriation for the Savannah Harbor (Gia.) from $200,000 and inserting the words "on project for secui.ng -a channel 28 feet deep at mean high -water from Savannah to the sea. The latter Dai t of the amendment was I - i i : opposed by Edmunds, on the ground that it would commit the government to that project, which was estimated to cost $6,600,000, and was advocated by Brown and Frye. Increasing the appropriation for Tampa bay (Fla.) from $20,000 to $50,000, and I t . 1 ' r - tt 1 1 1 amenaea on motion 01 an, against xne opposition of Frye,' so as to make it in clude the channel to Tampa. An amendment striking out the appro p:ation of $35,000 for St. Augustine, tla., and inserting n lieu 01 it a provis ion for the appointment of a board of army engineer officers to examine Lieut. Black's plan of improvement, was op posed by Senator's Call, Pasco and Rea gan, and the result was as in the case of Winyaw bay a resolution of the ap propriation and the adoption of the ad- ditional provision. The same cause was adopted in regard to the item of $25,000 for Kev West Harbor. Other amendments were aLeed to as follows: Increasing1 the appropriation to complete the improvement of the Cape Fear river below Wilmington, N. C.from $100,000 to $245000; increasing the appropriations for Pamlico and Tar riv ers, from their! mouths to j the falls at Rocky Mount,1 N. C, from $5,000 to $10,000 ; and of the Roanoke 1 ver, North Carolina, from its mouth to Clarksville, Va., from $5,000 to $40,000 ; in sei iing an item of $5,000 for Lumber river, N. C. An amendment inserting an item of $10,000 for Yadkin river, N. C, was the subject of a long discussion ; the amend ment being opposed by Edmunds and ad vocated by Ransom. Edmunds compar ed the Yadkin to that of another stream which it was once proposed to improve, and as to which anj army engineer report ed it could be made navigable ; if water was pumped into it. from another liver behind the mountain. Ransom remarked that it was Jj piece of imagination on Edmunds' part, and said jocularly that if the Senator from Vermont were to see the Yadkin river he would change ! his mind as he had done rn the case of the Cape Fear il ver and would think a mil lion or two dollars ooght to be spent on it ; that there was morej whiskey made in that country than the Senator supposed there was water in the Yadkin. Edmunds read and commented upon the report o Capt. Bixby, an ai.ny engineer, on the Yadkin river, stating that it was not worth v of imorovement. and that the people there were more j anxious not to have a passageway cut through the fish dams, so as to let the fish eret up the river, than they were to have it improved for navigation purposes. The amend- ment was voted on and the result was veas 29. navs 6. No ouorum. The Sen mT ' mf fi j . ate then, at 4.50, adjourned. i ; 1 Produce Market.
