CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.
BY THE REPORTER OF THE N. Y, TRIBUNE
WAsHINGroN. Dec d.

WASHINGTON, Dec 81.
In the House to-day, after the reading
of the journal of yesterday, MIR. HANMtTT
of Miss, evidently by pre- concerted ar
rangement. said that he wished to inquire
of the hartman Of the Committee on
Foreign Relations (Nr. C. j. INGERsoLL)
at what time it was his intention to call
up the Texas question.
Mr.. Ingersoll replied that it was his in
tention to call it up on Monday next.
He did not wish to press the matter, but
that he was willing that it should come
up to-day if the House disired it.
There was then an understanding that
it should come up for discussion on Mon
day next.
On motion of Mr. PARnExTER, the rules
were suspended and the House resolved
itself into Committee of the Whole on the
Stare of the Union.
Mr.. PARMENTER wished to take up Bill
No pa.
Mr.. c. ]. INGERsoLL begged his friend
from Massachusetts to indulge him for
ten minutes in order to take up and dis
pose of Bill No. 800.
Mr.. SMITH OF la. had in the meantime
addressed the Chairman deciding that he
had right to the floor, that gentleman
wfnt into discussion of the Public
Lands.
A heightened debate on this question
ensued, i'll which Mr. SuITH, Mr.. PETIT
of Indiana, Mr. Nc CLERNAxp and others
took part, and which was at length cut
of by motion by AR. CROCKETT that the
Committee rise and report.
Mr.. ToMLINsoN of Ky submitted an
amendment to the bill providing, as for as
we understood it, that the bill should op
crate only in favor of those in INDECENT
circumstances, and who are unable to pay
high prices for lands.
So the Committee rose and reported
progress.
After disposing of several bills from
the Senate, the House adjourned till Mon
day at IL o'clock.

SERVED RIGHT-The friends oftem-
perance in Massachusetts are carrying out
their principles in a way that will soon
show which is the stronger party, they or
the rumsellers. The Supreme Court has
lately had before it several cases carried
up by exceptions from the Common Pleas,
n W hich convictions we're obtained for
ardent spirits. The Court confirmed the
decision of the Court below, as follows -
Benz. Kimble, of HaverhiIl, fined 1920,
and costs on two indictments Lot Peach,
Elisha Olbin, and Jas Arlington, all of
Salem, 500 each and costs, and VIM.
Perley $1,000. 1t is stated that petition
is in circulation to make the wretched
business punishable by imprisonment
Such law would soon put a stop to it,
and mete out something like justice to the
offenders.
