Prescribing of To-Day.

rEoSeeglnSS OIL To-Day.
In the Senate, Mr.. Seward presented ps
tition from surviving officers and soldiers O.
the war of 1872, asking for an appropriation
for defraying the expenses of their convention
shortly to be held in Washington city.
Mr.. Badger introduced his promised bill t.
increase the pay of the judges of tie Suprens
Court of the United States, which he sd5o
Gated at length, being in the midst of hii
speech when we went to press.
In the House, the Speaker laid before then
an Executive message, transmitting the infor-
nation that on investigation it turns out tina,
the money claimed by the heirs of Benjamin
Prioleau, deceased, Of Charleston, S. c., as
being due from the United States, proves to
have been paid to the said Prioleau during hi:
life time, and that the act of the last session
for the payment of the said claim has not beer
executed laid on the table.
The House then, by resolution, ordered the
Committee on Military Affairs to employ g
clerk.
Mr. Dunbar offered Joint resolution for tn
modification of the laws bearing on the cree
ton of the new Custom House at New Orleans
SO as to admit of necessary changes in the
plan of the construction of the said work.
After few remarks in explanation from
Mr. Dunbar, this joint resolution was passed
On motion of Mr. Bryce, the Judiciary Com.
mittee wsre Instructed to inquire into the Pro.
priety Of repeating the usury laws.
Mr.. Cobb moved to reconsider the vote by
which the Presidents message, above men.
toned had been laid on the table.
Mr.. c. stated that his purpose was to move
its reference with instructions to report a bill
to repeal the act for the relief Of the repre-
sentatives of Benjamin Priolean. He desired
thus to prevent the money from ever being
again paid from the Treasury.
Mr.. Aiken, in few remarks, repelled the
idea that tho beneficiary, under the existing
law, would receive the money under the cir.
cumstances and explained that, on becoming
satisfied that their parent had been paid they
had come forward instantly to renounce all
claim to the money awarded to them by Con
gross. Mr.. A. suggested short bill of few
sentences, to repeal the existing law without
reference to standing committee
Mr.. Orr prepared and presented suoh bill;
which was duly passed.
