WASHINGTON, May IL.
SENATE--The morning hour was spent in
discussion of bill for the relief Of Thomas
O. Ware. M III,
Mr.. Hale introduced bill for the relief of
Arthur Edwards and associates. Referred.
On motion of Mr.. Iverson the Senate took
up the private calander, and several bills not
objected TO were passed.
Mr.. Hale moved that when the Senate ad-
journ it be till Monday. Carried. III
Subsequently Mr.. Hunter moved to post
pone the private calander and take upsthe
Deficiency Bill.
Had not the Senate agreed to adjourn over
he would have been content to consider the
deficiency bill tomorrow
Mr.. Iverson spoke of the small number of
days devoted to the private calendar the
present session.
Mr.. Hunter moved that the motion to ad-
journ over be reconsidered, and the Senate
consider the deficiency bill tomorrow.
Mr. Latham moved reconsideration nc
cordingly.
Mr.. Hanlin remarked that Congress has
been in session several months, and little has
been DONE yet we are all anxious 10 get
home some time before the Constitutional
commencement of the next session, but he
himself did not want to go till business was
disposed of.
Mr.. Hale did not think the last three weeks
had been entirely lost; there had been great
deal of good done by adjourning over from
time to time, and il i'll becomes the Republic
cans to complain Of what has bean done. We
disposed of the Wing party some time ago
and nothing is now left us but fragments Of
the Democratic party to fight against, and
they went to Charleston and delivered
speeches containing sound Republican doc
trines, where the Republicans would not
have been permitted to go. Now the DEM
ocratic party was broken TO pieces, but there
was to be an attempt to unite it again with
Spaldings glue and make II stick. [Laughter.1
There had been great deal of good done but
these men doing IL did not know what they
were about. Sampson, when he overthrew
the temple of the Philistines was blind and did
not see what tremendous piece of work he
was doing, so these Democrats were blind
instruments in the hands of Providence to
work out good result and it affords an il
lustration of the truth of the saying in Holy
Writ that God would make the wrath Of
man praise Him and the residue thereof. He
would restrain. That's just exactly what
has been done in that Convention. If the
Senator from Maine found time for private
recreation during the adjournment, that was
different from his experience.
Mr.. Toombs thought that not more than
five in one hundred private bills could be
maintained in any kind of principles.
By general consent, the motion to recon-
slider was Withdrawn, and the Deficiency Bill
taken up and passed.
Executive session, and afterward ad-
journed till Monday.
HOUSE-The House passed the Senate
bill providing for the carrying out of the
shpulations ofthe Convention with Paraguay.
Mr.. Grow reported bill for a temporary
Government for Idahoe, and moved that it be
Mr.. Thayer moved to table it.
Mr.. Grow disputed his right to make the
motion while he had the floor.
The Speaker sustained Mr.. Grow, who ex-
planned the five Territorial Bills which the
Committee had decided to report, and urged
them upon the House.
After some debate Mr.. Kellogg offered an
authorizing the people of organ
lied Territories to elect their own officers.
Mr. Thayer moved to take up the Idahoe
bill: Carried, l02 to 73 ''
Mr.. Grow reported bill to provide for a
temporary government for Nevada.
Mr.. Clark, of Mo-, moved to strike out the |
clause, and insert one of differ |
ent character.
Mr.. Grow accepted the amendment from
Mr.. Kellogg, similar to his former one.
On motion of Mr.. Houston the bill was
tabled, 90 to "a.
Mr.. Grow reported bills to provide tempo
rary governments for Arizonia, Dacotah and
Chippewa, which were also tabled.
Debate followed on the right of the South
to carry their slaves into the Territories.
Mr.. Thayes was against organizing q gov
ernment where there were not three hum
dred white men. He contended that all gov
derive their power from the consent
Of the government as set forth in the Declara-
ton of Independence. His colleague, Mr. |
Gooch, wanted to lend helping hand to |
politicians. The people have the power and
tight to govern themselves, and therefore
should be left alone; and secondly, his col
eague or anybody else should be prevented
rom interfering with them.
Mr.. Gooch explained his views as to legis-
ation for Territories.
Mr.. Thayes resumed, occasionally exciting
intense laughter by his replies to his col
league. He wished, he said, to remove slavery
from the Constitution, and de-
nouncing Congressional intervention as
humbug.
On his motion the Chippewa Bill was
tabled.
A communication was received from the
of the Washington Nayy-yard
10 witness, on Monday, the reception of the
Japanese Embassy.
Mr.. Colfax trusted that business would not
be interrupted by adjourning over, merely to
witness the landing of an Embassy.
Mr.. Branch regarded it as great event in
The commercial, If not in the political history
Of the country, and hence thought the day
should be properly observed.
Mr.. Washburne, of ILL.,, said they could i'll
afford to lose the time. He wanted to get up
The River and Harbor bill. :
Mr.. Norris of Penn, stated the reception
would be most interesting, and it was due
that the legislative should unite with the
executive of the government to do honor to
she Embassy, who have given our country
he preference for a visit.
Mr.. Cox was opposed to this japanese hum

Pending the question to accept the invita-
ion, the House adjourned.
