WAsHIrGToN Cry, March 3, 1910.
Surrey of the Georgia Coast-Mr. Habersham-
Reports University of Iooa-BiH to continue
office of Commissioner Of Pensions-Mr. Darts
of Kenfucky-Mr Geddings' Motion-Ihe Sem
ate-Mr Lumpkin-hfr. Grundy's Report.
A resolution to direct the Clerk of the House to
to be printed extra edition of late survey
Of the coast nf Georgia, was the first thing in order
today
Mr.. Habersham of Georgia, a venerable gentle
man, whose personal appearance is very much in
his favor, and who is evidently man of talents and
OF distinguished standing in Georgia, took the floor
support the resolution and in doing so, paid his
respects in kind of alcft-handed way, to the editor
Of the Globe.
The Globe, Mr.. Habersham said, had today de-
nounced him a catspaw Of the federal and aboli-
ton parties, and therefore, he took the liberty to
call the editor of that paper hyena, who prowed
around church yards TO feed and riot on Wondering
carcases. The esmile, or comparison, or episode,
call it what you may, appeared to to be equally
and nelegant.
After little sparring had been had between Mr..
Habersham and Mr. Smith of Maine, the question
was takeu on the resolution, and was lost
The speaker called on the committee for re-
ports, and they were made till the morning hour ex-
PRED, when
Mr.. Jones, chairman of the WAYS and MEANS de-
handed the orders Of the day, for the purpose Of
taking up bill to continue the Office of the Commits
soner Of Pensions.
Mr.. Rice Garland objected.
Mr.. Jones said, he must then move for a sus pen
sion OF the rules and to show the necessity OF the
passage of the bill, he sent letter 10 the clerks
desk from the Secretary of War, in which that
officer stated that, unless the bill was passed today,
the whole Pension Department would be brought to
a stand still.
The bill was then taken up, and motion submit
ted by Mr.. Geddings, of Ohio several days ago re-
dHce the salary of the Commissioner from SIS, 900 to
$4,000 was adopted The bill was then adopted;
ayes l57, noes T.
Mr. Waddy Thompson moved to reconsider the
vote by which the bill was passed, and supported
his motion, usual, with great eloquence, satire
and wit; showing at the time, in very clear
colors, of the absurdties of the bill. The
House refused to reconsider by vote of l2 to SO.
Mr. Davis OF Kentucky, gentleman who does not
appear to possess physical capacity commensurate
with his inclination to speak, entitled to the
floor the bill, but for which he assigned
but which did not hear, he declined going on
In the Senate, Mr. Lumpkin, of Georgia, gave no.
tice that he would Monday next call up and press
his resolution to designate day for the ad ournment
of the present session of Congress The usual bust
ness of the morning hours was then attended to- and
it did not embrace anything of public Importance
Mr. Grundy's eternal, never firing, never dying re-
port on Col Bentons n0n-assumption resolutions
as, Mr. Calhoun, Mr. Webster, and Mr.. Tappan.
This Mr.. Tappen is hard horse to curry He is
full of prejudice, is decidedly mobile in his tempera
ment, and is the bterest politician of the day. He
will say more embitterng things in a moment than
any other man | ever knew; and like his brother
Lewis, he appears to have been formed to make
men mad He is man Of andisputed talent; but
temperament he possesses ever became sufficiently
popular to votes enhugh to elect him to the
Senate of the United States.
| The weather continues to be delightfully."- warm and
pleasant. Many of the fruit trees putting forth
| their leaves. Yours, SC.
