Harvey had derived but comparatively small benefit
from MS invention, and that the extension OF the
patent would have really the effect OF breaking up
the monopoly in the manufacture of wood screws
Mr. WAsaBuRN, (rep.) OF Mass, argued against
the bill and stated facts in connection with it. He
remarked tnat when the bill was last before Con-
porston IN his own district, having $500, 600
capital invested, and by the Union Screw Company
OF Providence X. /. But neither Of those companies
now appeared to oppose this bill. Whyf Because
the American Screw Company, Of Providence r. L.,
which owns tne patent, had bought up the interest OF
dtion IN the agreement that the Union Screw Com
pany would not oppose the extension OF the patent.

chairman OF the Committee on patents mr. Myers,
how did It come to make such an agreement
who knew all about the proceedings ana
received the reply that it was the expecta-

reason why there was not corporation appearing
to oppose the extension was that they had all been
bought up or had arrangements made with them by
the American Screw Company. That company was
making profit OF from fifty TO seventy-hve per cent
ON every gross Of screws, and.when there was dan

just as largely Interested in it as the people Of any
other district
Mr.. GARFIELD suggested that 1t would be better to
make direct appropriation out Of the treasury for
than thus to tax the people for their benefit.
Mr.. MYERS intimated that Mr.. Garfield had made
that suggestion two or three times BEFORE and de-
cared that the effect OF the bill would be not to tax
the people, but to confer b e:s ng on them.
Mr.. SHELLABARGER, trep.) OF Ohio, opposed the

THE BILL REMOVING POLITICAL DISABILITIES.
The morning hour having expired, Mr.. FARMS
WORTH, from the Conference Committee on the bill
removing political disabilities from certain persons
in the Southern States, made report in favor OF
striking out the names Of George $. Houston, Of
Alabama, and George w. Jones, OF Tennessee.
Mr.. BECK, (dem.) OF Ky, ofthe minority Of the
mittee, opposed the report and spoke of the high
character of the two men who were excluded by it.
He knew no for 1t 1t were not that Mr. Jones
might probably be regarded as dangerous COM
petOr for Congress in the district in whichhe lived.
Mr.. FARNswORTH defended the report. He said that
when the Senate amendment was referred to the Com
mittee on Reconstruction that committee naturally
consulted the members from Tennessee as to the pres
ent condition of Mr.. Jones' mind. and came to the
conclusion from what they said that until Mr. Jones
asked to be relieved from disabilities 1t worth
while for Congress to tender amnesty to him. He
did not inquire into the politics OF man proposed
to be relieved, but he did inquire to whether he
was acting with the loyal people Of the United States
Mr.. BECK asked Mr.. FarnswOrth whether he did
not know that every republican Senator had voted to
relieve Mr.. Houston and Mr.. JOnesY
Mr.. FARNswORTH said he did not know that, but
he did know that all but two republican Senators
had voted for the report OF the conference commit
tee. He would relieve hundred brigadier generals
OF the rebel army who had fought CALAMITY and well,
who had been original secessi0nsts but who now
put their shoulders to the wheel to support the gov
ernment, rather than relieve any OF these Janus
faced men who stood by the Union until the last
ment, and then went or to the rebels and were with
them still.
Mr. STOKES (repJ OF Tenn, stated that note OF
inquiry had been sent to the Tennessee delegation,
and that the reply given. was that George w. Jones
was rebel; that he went into the rebellion and
connected with It, and that If he had repented OF 1t
they did not know 1t; besides he did not
know whether. Mr.; Jones wanted to be re-
leved or not. He made substantially the
same statement as the two members Of
the conference committee. he had no personal feel
petition to himself, or any member Of the House or
Senate, asking to be relieved from disabilities he
would be in favor Of relieving him.
Mr.. MULLINS (rep.) Of Tenn, In speaking OF demo-
Gratis in connection with the late rebellion, said
according to the official report they have for
four long bloody years. they have strewn the south
OF the North lie rottng upon the hills of the South
without Christian burial to-day; and while they were
thus running riot In blood and In triumph
human life and assailing the Stars and Stripes
and civil, political and religious governments,
they were Overtaken and crushed out; and when
they have been crushed out they come up and state
that 1--WE surrendered" We surrendered That is
not the term used. They said they submitted,
they never surrendered only when they were
captured by the armies OF the republic that
were for the perpetuation Of the government
OF our fathers and to perpetuate the right OF all
beings TO stand before the burning eye of God, ac-
countabe to Him who died for them, that the will OF
man should be free. That Is the power that brought
them down-that stood here under the Stars ana
waved over the bloody fields of 1776
and rode the storm against the British lion.
