THE BUSINESS BEFORE CONGRESS.
From The Regular Correspondent Of Tho Bos-
ton Daily Advertiser.
WASHINGTON FEB. 90, 1886.

WASHINGTON FEB. 90, 1886.
Now that all apprehension Of a war with
France is at an end, and no disturbing cause
exists in our foreign relations to efiec. mat
erially the deliberations Of Congress, it may
seem fit time to give you view OF the
measures which have been or will be asl-
tatedin this body during the present sea-
sons.
l. Foremost among them, and on the
very surface of things, is the abolition ques.
ton. This comes up in three shapes
First, in the presentation Of petitions res
pecting slavery and the slave trade in the
District secondly, in bills, reported or to be
reported, for the regulation ofthc mail, and
the exclusion from it of incendiary pullca-
tons, so called and, lastly, on the report
to be made by the committee raised under
Mr.. Pinckney's resolution.
2. Next is the lost fortfcation bill, dis
cussed in the Senate on Mr.. Benton'S reso.
ntions, and in the House upon that OF MIR.
Adams. The debate in the Senate is at an
end, but that in the House is not. 1t waits
its turn, to be renewed when other business
shall give itplacc.
Both of these subjects are political and
partisan, more or less, in the views taken OF
them by many ofthosc wbp have engaged
in the debate.
3. Thirdly, the appropriation bills, WHICH
open to discussion ali the policy Of the Gov
ernmcnt, and all the interests ofthe Country,
foreign and domestic. Very large appro
priations, for the contingent possibility O
war, were contemplated by the Administra'
ton few weeks ago ; but all such ideas are
now abandoned. and Congress will be dew
dcd upon this subject into two sectlons' no'
distributed precisely according to party
lines, one side desiring liberal peace aPPro'
priations for the Navy and for tortIlicatlons
and the other advocating a rigorous ane
Jealous curtailmcnt ofall such expenditures
4. The Patronage bill. This has pas
sed the Senate, and is now in the House
waiting to be committed. The tendency
ofthis bill is to diminish the power exertes
BY the Executive through the means ofap
pointments to offices of profit under th'
Government, Of the United States. 1t vii
draw into discussion all the measures ant
Principles Of the present Administration.
5. The Post Office bill, already repogtcf
in the House, which provides. for com

So the decision of the Chair was affirm.
cd.
Mr.. Patton asked if he could withdraw
the resolutions.
The Chair replied that he supposed the
gentleman might withdraw them.
Mr.. Patton. | do withdraw them then.
Mr.. Mason, of Virginia, said he was
about to suggest to his colleague a differ
course. lie proposed to ask the consent
of the House to suffer these resolutions to
take the usual course, and be laid on the
table, and printed.
Mr.. Adams objected to the withdrawal
of the resolutions, as it would counteract an
order of the House.
The Chair then stated that he was com.
pcllcd to say that the resolutions could not
be withdrawn without leave of the House.
He had not anticipatedthat there would be
any objection.
Mr. Patton then moved that the Rules
be suspended in order to enable him to with
draw the resolutions, and give them the
direction suggested by his colleague.
Mr.. John @. Adams asked If the ques-
ton was debateable.
The Chair replied that it was not.
On motion of Mr.. Briggs the House
then adjourned.
Tuesday, March 1.-The day was spent
in receiving and referring resolutions and
petitions, none of which were Of much pub.

The report on the contested election from
North Carolina was taken up and the time
spent in debating two motions, the one to
allow Mr.. Ncwland to appear by counsel,
and the other to allow him to appear in per-
son, at the bar Of the House to support his
cause, till the hour for the Especial order" had
arrived.
The special order was then postponed by
suspending "the rule" to receive bill re.
ported by Mr.. Thomas for establishing the
northern boundary Of Ohio, and admit Mich
igan INTO the Union on certain conditions
and also to take up the N. Y. relief bill.
The former bill was read twice and com.
mitted. The latter was debated, and the
previous question moved, but decided IN the
negative. The effect of this decision the
Speaker stated to be to postpone the subject
for the day.
The House then, in committee of the
whole proceeded to consider the bill making
appropriations for the navy, when Mr..

against some features Of the bill and t.,c

partment, and is measure Of great public
importance.
6. Mr.. Clay's bill for distributing tho
proceeds ofthc public lands rateably among
the States, which has therefore, passed both
Houses, and been vetoed by the President,
and is now once again under consideration
in the Senate.
7. The Ohio and Michigan Boundary,
which is a subject upon which the States OF
Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, as well as the
Territory of Michigan, arc extremely sensl.
tive and upon which there will be Prolong-
cd and very earnest debate.
3 and o. The admission of Michigan
and Arkansas into the Union. How much
question these two subjects will occasion,
know not. They are, it is evident, things
of great consequence to the whole country.
If both enter the Union together, they will
maintain, as it is, the equal balance Of the
s!avcholding and noa.slaveholding States in
the Senate.
10. Various plans are in contemplation
for extending the Pension system, especial.
ly one to embrace within it the widows and
officers Of the Revolutionary army, and an.
other to give pensions to soldiers in the
West who served i'll the Indian war conse.
quent on the Revolution.
IL. The Custom House Regulation bill.
This subject is now in the hands OF the
committee on Commerce Of the House,.
They contemplate u thorough revision OF
the whole system of compensation to the
officers of the customs, providing fixed sal.
aries in the place of fees and perqulsites.
IL. The Judiciary Bill, which has passed
the Senate now for the second time, but has
not been acted upon in the House.
l3. Claims for French Spoliations prior
10 1900. Between two and three hundred
memorials on this subject have been refer
rcd in the House to the committee on Fo.
reign Affaires, who have the subject under
consideration. What the issue will be ]
caHpot say.
and Is. The Land Office and Patent
Office. These branches Of the public SER
vice require to be revised and extended, and
will receive more or less attention from the
present Congress with view to improve
ment in their organization.
But enough. | might augment this list
by the specification Of many other things
Of local or temporary interest, or Of minor
importance, which are in the hands Of com.
mittees, or in the course Of discussion, IN
one or the other branch Of Congress. But
| think you will be satisfied that, in what |
have now suggested to you, there is ample
matter for session Of six or seven months,
which will roll away, doubt not, leaving
many things undone and many overdone.
And if to the subjects already mentioned,
public or private, national or local, you add
the ever present question Of the Presidency,
coloring all the proceedings Of Congress-
the conflicting interests and passions OF tae
members, and the stirring debates IN the Be-
nate and the House, you will have some
idea of the multiplicity of objects Of thought
and business which are concentrated in the
precincts Of the Capitol.

WASHINGTON, March I.


You will have noticed with astonishment
and regret the unusual excitement and ten
dcncy to personal allusion, which have cha
racterized the debates on points Of order in
the House Of Representatives for the last
two weeks. The debate of that description
to which l briefly alluded in my letter Of last
evening, has been productive Of painful cor.
sequences. The Speaker, you will re-
member, decided that the resolutions pre-
scntcd by Mr.. Patton, of Virginia, from the
Legislature of that State, on the subject OF
slavery could not as Mr.. Patton had pro-
posed, 60 to the committee on the District
of Columbia, with certain instructions but;
that bv virtue Of Mr.. Pinckney's resolution.
they must 90 TO the Select Committee ap--
pointed by the House. Mr.. Wise appealed
and the discussion, on his part at least was
violent.
Immediately after the adjournment Of the
House last evening the Speaker was cros-
sing thclobby from the House to his own
official chamber, attended by sevefal OF his
friends, Mr.. Wise came suddenly upon him
not meeting him fully but in an obique d.:
rection, and addressing the Speaker told
him that he was id tyrant." The
Speaker, who had momentarily paused;
conceiving Though from what circumstance
know not) that there was some premed,
itatcd design against him, suddenly waved
his hand, and passed on towards his room.
Mr.. Wise raising his voice, continued-"l
intend this as a personal insult, and you
NAV pocket it in silence II you choose.
The Speaker disavows having heard u1esc
last words, though they were heard ms
tinctlv by a number Of persons who sur
rounded him. we hear ofno movement on
the subject in the House. Ofthe truth OF
the rumour, or the purpor OF the notion
