| sad ttets did Mir Van Nafen lsaFs sbs eeaAlfy,
that The Whi1s were compelled u tal an extra
session in order 10 furnish ways aid means for
the support of Government. One Of the first
acts of this session was 10 discharge Post Of
fee debt Of half million contracted, and left
unpaid, by their predecessors. Mr.. d. went in
10 details To- show how the Wings had been
compelled, by the acts of previous adminisra-
lions, to contract for loan, and while he was
speaking the hammer fell.
Mr. PAYNE, of Ala, next got the floor, and
made general electioneering speech. He sent
his political vade mecum to the Clerks desk and
had read COL Stones editorial explanation Of
Mr.. Van Buren's alleged opposition to the last
war. Subsequently he sent up Mr. Willoughby
Newton's letter to Wing political convention in
Richmond, which letter was carelessly published
in the Wing of that city.
Mr. NEWTON desired few minutes for an
explanation, but il was denied him, and
Mr.. PAYNE continued his defence of Mr..
Van Buren, until the hour was up.
Mr. BOWLIN, of Mo-, next got the floor, and
Mr.. Newton again appealed to him for an OPP
portunily TO speak, but without success
Mr.. NEWTON desired to correct some errors
of the press in the publication of his letter, not
to retract its sentiments. The letter, as pub
lished, represents him to say that the canvass in
Virginia was not conducted with " sufficient can
dor and fairness" by the Wings, but Mr.. Newton
never made such an legation-instead of fair
ness, read frmness and few, after all that has
been said about it, will deny the truth of this.
The writer of this report can bear individual tes-
timony on this point SO far as his own observation
went Being on an electoneering tour in Fair
fax and Loudon, he remembers well, that Mr..
Thomas Allen, then editor of the Madisonian, OBJ
jected to the address of Mr.. Hoffman, of Balt-
more, on the subject of a national bank, as highly
impotic. 1t is this disposition in Virginia to ca
ter to the prejudices of the strict construction
lists" that Mr.. Newton desired to see abandoned.
He advised the convention to take higher and
bolder ground than that taken in 1910, and we
| trust they will. Those only are alarmed at the
manly frankness Of Mr. Newton's letter who
magnify their own wisdom, and underrate that of
the people,.
After Mr. BOWLIN had finished his speech,
Mr.. WHITE, Of Ky, proposed that the dis
cussion should cease or that its character should
be changed, and with view to have the House
fix some time for the conclusion of debate on the
bill, he moved that the committee should RISE
The motion prevailed.
The committee rose, reported progress, and

scale by which losses are Unidentified to officers

has decided that the vessel was not wrecked by

Mr.. ALLEN objected to this provision, and
argued that it would only serve to diminish the
vigilance Of public servants for the Government
to become their insurers.
This discussion was chiefly confined to Messrs.
BAYARD and ALLEN.
Mr.. CHOATE made some few remarks, de-
string further time to examine the bill, and
trusted that the Senator from Ohio, after cool
reflection, would not be SO eager in his condem.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.

The first business was the motion to suspend
the rules in order to consider the resolution for
printing the same number of the minority report
of the Committee of Ways and Means on the
tariff as had been ordered for the majority report.
The yeas and nays were called on the motion
to suspend, and stood yeas "a, nays "A; thus the
rules were suspended.
Mr.. WHITE, Of KY, moved to print 10000
instead of 10000 extras.
Mr.. THOMPSON, Of Miss, objected to print
ing any extras. He understood but he had not
seen it, that this report, made two months after
the other, was an answer and review OF the ma
jority report Such thing he had never known
in all his experience.
Mr.. j. r. INGERSOLL said there was not a
word in reference to the majority report-not a
quotation, nor allusion. The gentleman from
New York and himself drafted the report with
reference to the bill alone.
port we did not get.
Mr.. WELLER was for extending the same
courtesy to the minority that they had extended
to the majority and no more. When he asked
for a suspension of the rules to print the majority
report the minority had refused, and continued to
refuse and delay, notwithstanding his representa-
ton that the delay would cause additional ex-
pense.
Mr. HAMLIN said he should not vote for print
ing 10000, and would have voted for 10000 1t
was only an act of sheer justice. He moved the
previous question.
Mr.. WHITE appealed to Mr.. H. to withdraw
il, which, after considerable reluctance, he did.
Mr.. w. then explained, in reply to MIR. Weller,
who complained of the minority that their only
object was to defer the publishing of the reports
until they could both be sent out together.
The House ordered the printing of 10000 of
the minority report.
WESTERN RIVERS.
The House resolved itself into Committee of
the Whole, Mr. BOYD, of KY, in the Chair, and
took up the bill for improving the harbors and
rivers OF the West.
The frs, provision of the bill, for the improve
ment OF the Ohio river between Pittsburg and
the falls at Louisville, $4,000 was amended by
doubling the amount, which, after debate, was
carried BY a vote Of 81 to 30.
The next provision was the sum Of $1SO,OOO
Cor the improvement OF the Ohio river below the
falls az Louisville, and Of the Mississippi, Mis-
sour. Illinois, and Arkansas rivers
A pro,racted discussion arose under this clause
OF the bill.
Mr.. DAVIS, Of Ky, reviewed the financial
operations Of Mr. Van Burens administration.
MIR. Van Buren, expended between % and 30
millions more during the four years Of his au-
thority than was received in the same period.
That administration took no thought for economy
until the people charged upon 1t the grossest
extravagance. SO wonderful had il been, that
appropriations made by Congress in 1910 were
withheld from expenditure TO the amount Of
more than oil GOO, 900; besides this, the admin
is,ratioa Of Mr.. Van Bnren had the use Of $685.
