The legislative appropriation bill was
reported from the Finance Committee
with amendments.
The tariff bill came up at one o'clock.
Mr.. Grimes led off with fierce attack
on 1t. and bitter dennnciation Of the
Protcctionists, whom he charged with
subsidlsing the press and coercing men

A number Of amendments were Offer

to admit books maps and charts. for the
use of publ; libraries. free OF duty. aud
one increasing the duty on linseed and
| linsced oil.
Toward the close of the days procee-
dings, Mr. Sprague denounced the bill
as commercial tariff, Obstructive OF the
manufacturing interests Of the country.
The debate drags along SO slowly that 1t
is impossible to predict when the bill
will be put upon its passage. A night
session Tomorrow is probable. There
are several important amendments yet
to be offered.
During the morning hour spicy
passage of words occurred between
Kelley, of Pennsylvania, and Cooper,
OF Tennessee. The question Cf Recon-
structon as brought up in debate on
q bill prohibiting land scrip from beng
given to the Soulhern States for Agri-
cultural college purposes, MIR. Kelley
said that Johnson had been guilty of
usurpatlon IN setting up the Southern
State governments.
Mr.. Cooper, OF Tennessee, said he
excepted to Kelley assertion OF Presi-
Dental usurpation. and If he was per-
mtted he would say to the gentleman,
as the Scottish Marmion had once said,
Lord Angus, thou hast lied"
Mr.. Kelley said the gentleman was
not permitted TO answer, for while the
usurpallon was plotting he Cooper was
was the friend aud paid agent aud the
confidential clerk of Andrew Johnson,
and unless all conscience was exinguisa-
ed within hlm, he was not permitted to
answer.
Mr., Cooper said Mr. Kelley was
again misstatng facts. While he Coop
cry Was the private Secretary OF the
President he had never received dol
lar Of his money, ard when the gentle-
man said so he lied again.
The Speaker called both to order,and
they took their seats.
At one O'Clock Mr., Stevens enabling
bill came up, and he yielded the floor to
Mr., Raymond, who spoke an hour IN
opposition to the measure, creating no
little disappointment among those who
were anticipating radical speech. The
tenor of his remarks were in favor of
still adhering to the Constitutional
Amendment as the basis of restoration.
Mr.. WashburLe followed in speech,
claiming full power of Congress to deal
with the Southern States as it saw prop
er. When he finished, everybody ex.
pected speech from Thad. Stevens, but
he simply rose, and, to the great aston-
ishment Of the House and the crowded
galleries, said that unless he changed his
mind he should move to morrow to lay
his enabling bill on the table He then
sat down, and the House proceeded to
hear Mr., Morrill's speech on the fnan>
clal situation. EH4J
A canvass OF the House demonstrated
that Mr., Stevcns's bill would be referred
to the Committee on Reconstruction,
instead of being passed, and he preferred
its defeat outright, and bv his Own mos
ton, to its reference as a mild way of
killing it. l- 'qaH . u
