citizens who had suffered from arrest by the autho-
rities of Great Britain while on visits to England
or Ireland. After a few remarks, he observed, it
seemed to be impossible for American citizens to
obtain justice from the blood-thirsty country of
Great Britain. Mr. Ward closed by offering a re-

solution directing the Committee on Foreign
Affairs to inquire into the circumstances attending
the arrest of Daniel Fitzgerald, and others, and that
the committee have power to send for persons and
papers, and to report by bill or otherwise. Mr.
Banks, of Massachusetts, offered a bill declaring

eight hours a legal day's work in the navy yards
and in all Government workshops of the United
States. (The bill is the same as that which passed
the Ilouse at the last session of Congress.) Mr.

Carey, of Ohio, presented the petition of the em-

ployes of the Washington navy yard in this con-
nection, and urged the passage of the bill imme-
diately. Mr. Washburne's Bill to facilitate the
payment of soldiers' bounties IN as then discussed,

and the House adjourned.
Jan. 7.—The House resumed 'consideration of
the bill to facilitate the payment of soldiers' boun-
ties, which was finally amended. Mr. Arnell, of
Tennessee, offered an amendment that all claims of
coloured soldiers for bounty and back pay shall be

transferred for examination and settlement to
the Commissioner of Freedmen's Affairs. The
amendment was accepted, and the bill as amended
was passed. Mr. Pike, of Maine, from Committee
on Naval Affairs, reported back a substitute for the
joint resolution authorising the Secretary of the
Navy to dispose of iron-clad vessels. (The Secre-
tary is authorised to dispose of all vessels not needed
for the service, at a price to be fixed by a board of
five naval officers.) Which was passed ; ayes, 90 ;
nays, 29. The Speaker announced as the Regents
of the Smithsonian Institute on the part of the
House. Messrs. Garfield, of Ohio, Poland, of Ver-
mont, and Pruyn of New York ; and on the motion
of Mr. Garfield, of Ohio, Senate joint resolution in
relation to the Regents of the Smithsonian Insti-
tute was taken and considered and passed. Mr.
Schenck, of Ohio, from the Committee of 'Ways
and Means, reported a bill to prevent frauds in the
collection of the tax on distilled spirits shall be
withdrawn from a warehouse for redistillation or
any other purpose, until the whole tax is paid upon
it.) By unanimous consent the bill was taken up,
and Mr. Schenck proceeded to address the House
upon the subjects of the frauds perpetrated in the
collection of the tax on spirits. Mr. limiter, of
Indiana, was not opposed to the bill, but he did not
think it would remedy all the evils complained of,
and he then proceeded to explain a bill he had
some time ago introduced, which he thought was
preferable to that of Mr. Schenck. The bill was
then passed. Mr. Logan, of Illinois, offered a re-
solution, which was objected to by Mr. Kerr, di-
recting the Committee on Retrenchment to re-
port at an early day a bill to provide for a bureau of
civil service, to be composed of three examiners,
and to prescribe the duties, qualifications, salary,
and term of office of such examiners. 2d. To de-
signate the number of clerks that shall be employed
in each of the departments, and to provide for their
apportionment of said clerks among the several
States and Territories, and in the District of Colum-
bia. 3. By whom recommendations shall be made
of clerks for examination. 4th. To provide that
such appointments shall be given to honourably
discharged soldiers and sailors when found to be
otherwise qualified. sth. To designate the time
and mode of supplying the places vacated under the
operation of the law. 6th. To designate when a
complete change shall be made under the law in all
the offices. 7th. To provide that the law shall not
apply to any department of the Government except
those located in Washington and the District of
Columbia. On the motion of Mr. Washburne, of
Illinois, the House resolved itself into Committee
of the Whole on the:state of the Union ; Mr. Dawes,
of Massachusetts, in the chair. Mr. Carey, of Ohio,
addressed the House upon the subject of the finances
and the payment of the national debt. lie advo-
cated at length the repeal of the act creating the
national banks, and argued that legal tender notes
were as good a medium of circulation as could be de-
sired. Mr. Carey concluded his speech at 4.15 ;
and the committee then rose, and the House ad-
ourned.

Jan. B.—Mr. Orth, Indiana, from Committee on
Foreign Affairs, submitted a report, which was laid
upon the table, and a joint resolution requesting
the President of the United States to intercede with
the Queen of Great Britain for the release of the
Rev. John M'Mahon, who was arrested as a Fenian
raider in 1866, and is now confined in gaol in
Kingston, Canada West. Mr. Paine, of Wiscon-
sin, moved to amend the resolution by inserting the
name of John Lynch, of Milwaukie, after that of
Father M'Mahon. Mr. Lynch, he said, was arrested
at the time of M.‘Alahon's arrest, and it could
do no harm to have both interceded fot. Mr.
Orth declined to accept the amendment. The
case of Father M'Mahon was a peculiar one. ne
preferred that Mr. Lynch's and every other case
should stand upon its merits. Mr. Cullom, of Ilh-
nois, spoke in advocacy of the joint resolution, and
demanded that the House•express its opinion against
the doctrine of perpetual allegiance, and declare
that all citizens, native and naturalized, shall be
protected. Pending discussion the morning hour
expired, and the bill went over under the rule. The
Senate's amendments to the Cotton Tax Bill were
referred to the Committee on Ways and Means•
On the motion of Mr. Broomall, of Pennsylvania,
the Committee of Ways and Means was directed
to inquire into the expediency of exempting frore
internal tax all manufactures from cotton, Iv 001;

or iron.
