RELIEF OF MARGARET HALL.
on motion OF MIR. HENDRICKS, ldem) OF Ind, the
Senate took up the bill for the relief OF Margaret
Hal, which was discussed until the expiration OF
the Ilofning hour
lle senate then resumed the consideration OF the
CONSULAR AND DIPLOMATIC APPROPRIATION BILL.
Mr. BucKALEw, tdeml OF Pa, renewed his motion
to strike out the appropriation OF 81 500 TO carry
INTO eject the treaty Tor the suppression OF the
African slave trade, and adyocated 1t briefly. lie
thought the senate had made these appropriations
Tor nothing long enough
Mr.. PATTERSON, Tep OF N. H.. also favored the
motion. He had ascertained, since the debate Of
yesterday, that il was not all true that the United
states ever kept fleet on the coast OF Africa for the
enforcement OF this treaty, but only occasionally
sent vessel or two down there from the European
squadron
Mr.. MORRILL,, OF Me-. rcstated his view OF the OBJ
legations OF the treaty.
Mr.. UoOLirrLE, (dem) OF WIS.,, moved to add to
the clause making the appropriation the follow
ing
Provided further that part money hereby appro.
prated shall be Drawn from the Treasury the Pres
dent OF the tned states shall application TO the govern
objects Of the mixed courts pro-
vled for by the treaty before the time hxed for their erna
tion ~ such treaty.
Mr.. SUMNER again eloquently urged the Senate 10
stand by the treaty, II the time had for Its
termination, 70 terminate 1t IN the regular way He
WOIlu remind the senator from New Hampshire (dr.
Pattefson) that before the treaty New York was
mere aen Of slave traders and in conclusion repeated
tue expression OF his profound regret that any Sena

trcoty made for SO glorious an object
ME, PATTERSON, Oh N. H.-If the Senator from Mas
sachusets mad not treated US to another feast of
empty eloquence, certainly would not speak again
on Inc subJect but that Senator persists III stigma
tizing me as seeking to strike down treaty which
keeps the Africen slave trade or the That is an
entire misrepresentation OF my purpose and he
must not expect me TO sit here quietly and be abused
ana caumniated by him or any other Senator in
tnis hail. care not what his position Is, it does
justify him in such course, and will net patiently
endure 1t. Calling names settles nothing. Why sir,
might select Senator here and call MIN the most
patient Of animals with parcel Of books on his
shoulder, deeming himself the national divinity,
but that would not make him SO. My obJecs in
Offering this amendment is to save to the govern
ment twelve thousand dollars year. We have
already paid out over one hundred thousand dollars
for the support OF these courts which have accom-
plshed absolutely nothing the suppression OF the
Save trade or any other object as | know from q
member OF the court. The slave trade Is dead, and
honor all the insrumentalttles by which that great
consummatiOn was secured. honor the efforts OF

made this motion in the interest or national economy
IN oar Official position heresve are peers. and DO
not think II IS ia good taste for any man. do not
care wnar his position In the Senate before the
country s to attempt to lord 1t other Senators
or TO play the dictator, and for one will not en-
dure 1t.
Mr. HENDRICKS said that the Senator from Mas
sachusetts sull insisted that this appropriation was
for the suppression OF the slave trade; that was his
capital in the discussion, but the matter really had
nothing to do with the suppression OF the slave
trade. The question before the Senate was simply
whether certain gentlemen should be supported out
Of the peoples money without doing anything 10
earn IL.
opposed to the treaty wncn 1t was first suggested
because he was opposed to allowing foreign vessels
10 board American vessels under any circumstances;
but the treaty being made was binding and should
be carried out until terminated or changed. He then
moved an amendment requesting the PRESIDENT TO
ask Great Britain 10 put an end 70 that part OF the
treaty which requires each government 10 keep up
mixed courts, and providing that II that government
consent the salaries OF the officers OF the United
States connected with said courts snail cease.
rms was adopted an amendment To the PROPOSE
tion Of Mr.. Dooiitte, which, so amended was agreed
the senate then voted on the motion or Mr. Bucka-
ew 10 strike out from the bill the paragraph as
amended which WAS lost by vote oi IL yeas and 81
Mr. PATTERSON, OF ". H., offered an amendment
providing that IN collecting consular fees foreign
moneys shall be taken at the rates provided in the
Treasury schedule. Adopted.

ntops, offered observation-disclosures increasing the

ic OF Uruguay and another appropriating 1000 for

sui to Winnipeg selkirk settlement Adopted.

dtional section, provided that all consuls and
sular agents who neither native nor naturalized
citizens shall be dismissed within thirty days alter

PRIVILEGED STATEMENT.
Mr.. WILLIAMS rose to q question OF privilege and
called attention to statement made yesterday by
member OF the House 10 show the absurdity OF the
Tenure OF once act, TO wlt-That the postmaster
at Portland, oregon was In prison for speculation,
yet the President could not remove him, because II
did not suit the senate To allow his removal. This
statement, Mr.. Williams said, was untrue In every
particular the postmaster in question having been
removed, tried and convicted, and his successor
having been nominated and confirmed promptly
THE TENURE OF OFFICE ACT.
Mr.. GRIMES thought this an opportune time to ask
the senator tAir. WiIliamsl when the committee
would report the bill to repeal the Tenure of ONCE
| law which had been referred to it.
