Mr. IVy introduced his International Congress bill. Its title is a bill to promote the political progress and commercial prosperity of American nations. Mr. Morgan offered a preamble aud resolutions, which at his request were ordered printed and laid on the table for the present. They recite the lirst resolution in the Edmunds series and direct the committee on privileges and elections to enquire and report whether if the office of the Attorney .General is as stated therein, he is liable to impeach ment and removal from office. Mr. Hoar called up the bill apportion ing $250,000 for the erection of a monu ment in Washington City to the memo ry of Gen. Grant and it was passed. The Educational bill . was placed he fore the Senate and Mr. Gray of Dela ware took the floor in opposition to th;i bill. He did not believe it to be within the power of Congress to enact such a law without first amending the consti tution. Mr. Plumb also opposed the bill. He regarded it as an anomaly in legislation, appropriating money, not only for one year, but for eight years. He had no doubt that at the end of eight years, if the pabulum now provide were not con tinued, conventions would meet and delegations would be eent to Washing ton to urge Congress to keep on appro priating more money. We must, there fore, understand that in passing this bill, we are arranging for expenditures for several millions yet to come. Large appropriations had become to have something attractive in them, and an appropriation of seventy-seven millions dollars was seventy-seven times more attractive than any appropriation of one million dollars. Mr. Plumb quoted fig ures showing that a much larger pro portion of money would go to the States of the South and a much larger part of it be supplied by the States of the North and the West. The whole theory of the bill was false that theory being that the Southern States were not able to give common school education to their illiteratf s. He held that each State was amply able to educate its own, and said if this bill be constitutional, then there were ro longer independent States, ex cept as they exist in imagination. Mr. Call spoke in favor of the bill. It was idle, he said, to deny that the war had destroyed the relations between in dustry and property in the South. The South had been left with disordered in dustries and with landed property hav ing no convertible value in money. No people had every striven harder than the people of the South to foster educa tion or had given money to education with more liberal hand. Mr. Call was utterly unable to see the force of the nice distinction attempted to be drawn by the opponents of this bill between money in the Treasury resulting from taxation and money resulting from the sales of public lands. Mr. Call recog nized the constitutional power of the general government to aid the States, with their own consent, and the consti tutional power of the States to aid the General Government. Such aid had been recognized as constitutional from the foundation of the Government. The South was not without self-reliance. Its peoppa had already taxed themselves to the utmost: but. their land was not, as was the case in the North, a readily con vertible asset. Mr. Morgan denied the statement made in debate to the effect that the Legislature of Alabama had instructed its Senators to vote for this bill. A memorial, he said, had been sent from the Legislature to Congress, asking that body to pass a measure in aid of educa tion. An executive session was held and the Senate adjourned. House The following resolution was iatroduced in the House today: Resolved, That whenever the surplus or balance in the Treasury, including the amount held for redemption of U. S. notes, shall exceed the sum of one hundred millions of dollars, it shall be and is hereby made the duty of the Sec retary 'of the Treasury to apply such ex cess to the payment of the interest bear ing indebtedness of the United States, payable at the option of the government. The report which accompanies the joint resolution says: "On the 80th of January. 1SS6, as shown bv the official "statement" of the assets and liabilities of the Treasury of the United States. there was in the Treasury and United States depositors, including the amount held for redemption of Lnited States notes, and not including minor and fractional siver coin classed as assets not available, the sum of 179,689,662 in ex cess of all other liabilities than redemp tion of said U. S. notes It is believed that this sum is largely in excess of the sum required for the purpose of which it is held, and that a considerable part thereof should be applied to the pay ment of the interest bearing debt of the United States now payable, to the end that public burdens be reduced and the money not unnecessarily held to lure agents and representative of the people on to improvidentand wasteful expendi ture. " The House proceeded to the considera tion of business on the House calendar, the first bell being that authorizing the several executive departments to ex hibit articles at the New Orleans expo sition, and the pending motion being one to lay the bill on the table. The motion to table was carried 135 to 112. The next bill on the calendar was that forfeiting unearned land grants of the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Com pany. On motion cf Mr. Holman of Indiana an amendment was adopted, providing that forfeittd land shall ba subject to settlem, nt under the homestead law rjy. Ti.e bill was then passed without division or objection. Ot. motion cf Mr. Morrison it was or dered that Saturday of each week bede votf ,1 to ger.tral debate in Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union, and thtn. 1 n motion of Mr. Morrison. the House, at 3:.'U, adjourned. Si'.NAT-; Feb. 4. Air. Morrill called up House bill permitting National b.nksto change their name, location and capital by a vote cf two-thirds of tie .r shareholders. After alongdebate on the amendment ar. amendment was maie limiting the right of a bank to cha..ge its location - , that it shall n-n change to another State n- r to a place more than thirty nnii - distant from the original h cation. Ti.- bill was then passed . The .ii-eus-ion vi the Educat ion bill was then ie.-umed. and Mr. ISlairad-irt-t-dthe Senate in reply to the ub j. ct;, ns and criticisms 1n1.de against it. He contended that the Legislature ,.f Alabama had given unanimous endorse ment to the principle c f the bill itself, so far a- it- essential features were o-n--iii'-i. lie denied that the people if the S.u;H wire oppose! to the measure an I in.-i-tei that they favored it.

Where did Senators find authority for these ap propriations on their theory of the Cons titution':' And where, in their view of the Constitution, found Senators author ity for the sending of ships in 1847 to Ireland, and in 1876 to France and Ger many, to relieve distress in those coun- , tries'.' In 1S76 we had. given a million of money to a centennial exposition; we had last year given a good deal of money to the New Orleans Exposition. Where was the authority found in the Consti tution for any one of these acts if not in the general welfare clause? Where was t he authority found to establish a bureau of agriculture: send expeditions to te North Pole; observe the transit of Venus: to tax people to educate Indians: establish and maintain a Congressional library; tay pensions? "I am a States rights strict Constitutionalist Demo crat, " continued Mr. George, "and as my constituency has been assailed on this floor, I mean to prove that I am with the fathers in their Constitution." Mr. George then proceeded to argue at some length the bearing and influence of precedents on the question of constitu tional objection, and quoted from Presi dent Andrew Jackson's messages to show that that orthodox Democrat had found it neceesary to change his views of the Constitution in obedience to pre cedents. At 5 o'clock Mr. George yielded to a motion for an executive session, and the Senate, after a few minutes spent in executive session adjourned. House. In the morning hour the House passed the bill to annex the nothern part of the Territory of Idaho to Washington Territory. At the expiration of the morning hour the bill went over, and the House went into committee of the whole on the half gallon tax bill. Mr. Morrison stated that the purpose of the bill was to compel the payment of the tax at the time fixed by law and at the rate fixed by law on all distilled spirits removed from distillery ware houses. From 18G2 to 1S68 the tax had been collected in cash on gallons and fractions of gallons. The 1868 system of collecting through stamps had been adopted, and it having been inconve nient to have stamps for every fraction- -al part of a gallon, it was provided that not only gallons but parts Of gallons also Bhould pay fifty cents tax. In 1872 it had been determined not to tax less than a half gallon at all but to tax over half a gallon at the gallon rates. It had turned out that with a view to escaping taxation all parts of a gallon were less thau half a gallon, and the Internal Revenue Commissioner reported that in the last year this fraud had grown to such an extent that packages which contained less than half gallon fractions exceeded those containing more than half-gallon fractions by 500,000 which would amount to a loss of $250,000 to the government. Mr. Wise, of Va., took the floor and as it was known that he intended to re ply to the speech made some tinie agd oy Mr. Brady of Va., members crowded around h'm to listen. He started -with the statement that on the 16th inst. the night session had been ordered for a discussion of the Fitz John Porter bill. In violation cf an implied if not an ex press understanding, he (Brady) but he was not permitted to proceed farther, for Brady impetuously interrupted him and exclaimed "The gentleman in mak ing that statement states what is not true, because I had a direct understand ing I had a direct understanding not only with Mr. Springer (Chairman of the Committee of the Whole) but with otherB." Before Mr. Wise could make any re ply Mr. Morrison came forward and de clared indignantly "we have had quite enough of irrevalent matter, and'I pre test against it. I will have no more ( f it." Mr. Wise made another attempt to proceed, but he was again interupted by Mr. Brady, with the exclamation that he had been misrepresented here. Mr. Wise said that he did not wish to imitate or follow the bad example of those who had gone before him. He wanted to declare that he wished to oc cupy the lloor, not upon the whiskey bill, but in reply to his colleague's speech. Mr. Brady That is what I stated with regard to the Fitz John Porter bill be fore I made my speech. The Chairman The gentleman hav ing stated that lie did not intend to dis cuss, the question that is now under debate the Chair thinks lie is out of or der. Mr. Wisa I rise now to a question af personal privilege. Chairman The gentleman is out of order in the committee. Mr. Wise Is it permissible under the order of the House made yesterday for me to 6peak Saturday? The chairman said that that was a question to be considered by the then chairman of the committee. "Well." said Mr. Wise. "I will take the opportunity Saturday." So the committee came back to the consideration of the half gallon tax bill, which after some further dissuasion was passed and the House adjourned. A Narrow Kscapp. Jas.
