Congress.

j In the Senate, yesterday, Mr.. Sumner, from
the Committee on Foreign Relations, reported
the House bill for the protection of the rights
of American citizens abroad, with an amend
ment to the third section. This section, as
passed by the House, provides that when
naturalized citizens are arrested abroad on the
ground of owing military service to the Coy
eminent of which they were formerly subjects,
the President should retaliate by arresting cti-
zens of that Government, resident In this
country. AS amended the section simply au-
thorizes the President to report the facts OF
such cases to Congress- Mr. Thayer presented
the credentials of Messrs. Alexander Mcdonald
and BenjaminT. Rice, Senators elect for Ar
kansas. MIR. Davis presented in opposition
thereto, the credentials of the Senators elected
in 1865 by the Rebel Government Of Arkansas,
which he had obtained from the files of the
Senate. After some debate these credentials
were laid on the table A Motion to refer the
credentials of Messrs. Mcdonald and Rice was
voted down, and they were then sworn in and
took their seats as the first Senators admitted
from the Reconstructed States. The Legisla-
tive, Executive and Judicial Appropriation
bill was taken up, and on Mr.. Summers motion
the offices of the Second Assistant Secretary
O1 SE1GG WGIC CUuGluuCO. w uudl GCGlOu
on the bill the Senate went into Executive
session.
In the House of Representatives Mr.. Paine,
of Wisconsin, presented the credentials Of the
Representatives elect from the State Of Ar
kansas, elected under the Reconstruction acts,
and they were referred to the Committee on
Elections The consideration Of the Tax bill
was then resumed, the pending question being
the motion to reduce the amount of tax below
the rate fixed by the Committee of Ways and
Means. The first vote was on an amendment
to fix the whiskey tax at forty cts. 1t was de-
feated by vote Of thirty four yeas to seventy
nays Another at twenty-five cts shared the
same fate. Propositions and amendments to
fix the tax at various figures from twenty to
forty-fvc cts were all voted down. Finally, by
a vote Of eighty seven yeas to thirty seven nays,
the House, in Committee of the Whole, agreed
to fix the tax at fifty cts per gallon. The vote
is taken as decisive of the intention of the
House that the rate Of tax shall be reduced.
A motion was made to provide for the collec-
ton of the tax at the distillery, but after some
debate the question was passed over until the
section relating to bonded warehouses was
reached. At the evening session the consid-
Grafton of the bill was resumed, but quorum
not being present, much time was consumed in
a call of the House. The sections up to the
tenth were passed without important amend
ment.
