THE WORKMEN.

Our readers will see by the proceedings in
Congress, yesterday, that Mr.. Parmenter intro
duced bill TO enable The Secretary Of the Navy
to transfer certain funds already appropriated
for his Department, and now on hand, so that
the workmen in The several navy yards could
recommence their operations. They will also
see that Mr.. Cave Johnson opposed the bill and
arrested it. So the odium and blame will be
laid al the proper door. The Secretary and the
President are anxious for the wofkmen to be
employed and paid

much vexed question OF finance that each com
miltee should draw up bill, and report, show

nece ssities could be aleviaed that these re
ports should be made simultaneously al the
Clerks table, aud instantly printed, and all this
should be done wilhou, letting any one know
whence either report came. When printed,
five copies should be sent TO every courthouse
in the United States. This would not have re-
quired much more than 1000 copies. Some Of
the People would read, digest, and explain these
reports, and thus thinking class insenslbly be
produced The two plans being before the ma
iiof and the People examining them, and com
pairing them together, Congress would feel itsel
compelled TO set seriously To work.
AT one moment the chairman of the Commit

sentaiyes seemed DESTROYS TO have the plan and
consultation il was determined to push the plan
Of Sub-Treasury.
What would have been then, and now, if in
1887 both parties had been compelled to produce

under its present mode. | repeal, eight sepa-
rate consecutive sessions Of Congress have taken
place two of them expressly called TO pass some
additional laws for the safe-keepng and dsburs-

regularly been brought up by the Executive at
the other six regular sessions. Under the old
mode, that is, the present mode of doing bust
ness, the guards upon the Treasury are exactly
where they were in 1897 before Congress met,
expressly, for remedy 10 this.
"A severer reproach could not be made TO the
whole method of now doing business in Con

And, II might be added, thai such scenes have
taken plac. in the Senate and in the House Of

his remarks on this occasion, he is a most uneompro-
