WASHINGTON, July IS.
HOUSE.
Resolutions was reported by the Ju-
dietary Committee relative to the COM
plicity of Davis in assassination of Lin
coin. Adopted.
The Conference report on the Civil
appropriation bill as presented to
the Senate, increasing compensa-
ton of Congressman and Senators,
soldiers, presented, whereupon there
was much huttering, some asked n di-
vision of question which could not be
done, under parliamentary law. There
seemed at first to be some hesitancy
about ordinary yeas and nays.
Mr.. Conkling called upon the MEM
bers to rise and let the vote be taken
equally, and the yeas and nays were
ordered. There was considerable eX-
element, and for time nothing could
be heard, as the members answered to
their names. The roll was about COM
pleted, groups OF members stood a
round the Clerks desk, waiting to
hear how the vote stood.
Mr.. Schenck rose to n question of or
der, insisting that it was against the
rule for members to be near the Clerks
desk while the vote was being taken.
The Speaker so ruled. at the end of
the call there was a majority of 10
votes in the negative, but then there
were several members who had not
answered when first called, some who
had voted aye found themselves likely
to be in minority changed their votes
to no, and again, when the tide turn
ed, changed back to aye. The members
who voted aye then began to explain
their votes.
Mr.. Hogan said he was opposed to
the increased pay but was in favor of
the bounty for soldiers and therefore
voted aye, QRughter.)
Mr.. Hubbard of VIVA. followed with
asimilar statement. Mr.Driggs of Mich.
hoped that these gentlemen If they were
forced to take increased pay, would turn
over the excess to the soldiers. Mr..
Ferry from same state said he had VO-
ted three times against increase of sal
ary to senators and members, but this
being the last opportunity of voting in
favor OF bounty for soldiers, he felt
compelled to change his vote from no
to aye. But he stood ready to pay over
his excess to the soldiers and challenged
his colleague, Mr.. briggs, to do the
same. Mr.. Schenck asserted with char
acteristic bluntness, that he voted aye
to both propositions. Mr.. O'Neil voted
ton. Mr.. Wentworth, of ILL.,, after
showing SO much anxiety for the pre-
vious four hours, to vote against in
creased pay to members, was not in
the hall when the report was made,
and the vote taken. At length all the
members present had voted, and the
oft changed list showed a majority of l
in ounF n tho rnnnFf Tho Untn NVa0

the conference report was agreed to in
tt e House, and the bill now only awaits
the signature of the President.
