that by which the census of 1850 was taken.
In reply to questions pat ~ Butler; Of
Massachusetts, and Others In regard to
rep4 esentation In Congress, Garfield said
the present organic s1ion, or mum bering
house. began on the 4th OF March, 1883, and
Inanifestiy Will run until the same day IN
March, 1873. The census TO be taken next
June ought, of course, to be completed, SO
far as taxing in is concerned, by the lst
Of July. We shall not know until next
fail what the basis Of representation viii
be, and, as q matter of course, no re-0is-
trleting OF States can be made until that
time.
The committee agreed, this morning, to
Ill up the blank forms of members with
taIned from Railroad Companies.
Garfield remarked now that the negro
question had been got rid of, the next great
fight would be with these great corpora
tfons. Congress should at least know what
they were doing with the national wealth
by Peters, he stated that with the humber
OF members nxed at 800, no State would
suffer the loss OF members but with 20
nxed as the number, TWO or three New
England States would suffer.
Butler, of MASSACHUSETTS,, inquired
whether any arrangement was made In
the bill for obtaining telegraphic statts-
tics.
Garfield replied that there vas not ex-
cept as regarding the telegraph connected
with railroads. The Committee had pre-
pared an additional schedule for that pur-
pose, and had it ready to oder in case the
4
uie and left it out.
Haldeman, another member OF the Gem
sI1s Committee. expressed his views on
the subject, dwelling on the importance of
full and complete census, EN- bracIng
property and income. He thought it time
TO ask whether classes were not being
favored in this country. and whether our
system of Income Tariff and Internal
Revenue were not making sores on the
body politically. With that idea he would
at the proper time, propose an additional
column in the proper schedule for return
of weekly income from wages, salaries
and professions.
The Committee then proceeded to dis
cuss and consider the bill by sections.
Mungen moved TO amend the third sec~
tion by limiting the term of service of CEN
sHs employees to two years instead OF
three. Rejected.
Davis moved an amendment to the same
point by inserting the Words and when
ever their services shall cease to be re-
Quireda" Adopted.
After progressing as far as the fourth
section of the bill, the Committee rose, and
the House at three O'Clock adjourned.

WASHINGTON, December s. The
Spanish gunboat question is IN course
of settlement by diplomacy. The
Spanish Minister to-day presented 3
paper to the Secretary of State, giving
pledge that the gunboats are not to
be the means of'carrying oEs war with
Peru or any other nation with which
the United States are at peace. This
communication was somewhat similar
to that heretofore presented by the
Peruvian Minister to remove the OBJ
jections of Spain, the effect of which
was the release of the two monitors
purchased in the United States for
the Peruvian Government. The
Peruvian Minister, on receiving a
copy of the paper. expressed himself
satisfied with the explanations and as
surances of the Spanish Minister;
therefore the cause of detention of the
Spanish gunboats is removed. Dis
trict Attorney Pierrepontlhas already.
or soon will be made acquainted with
these diplomatic proceedings, and it
is anticipated that his action In the
premises will forthwith, lead to an or
der for the release Of the gunboats,
when they will be transferred by the
contractor to the authorities of Spain.
! The Spanish Minister takes q view
similar to that of the Peruvian Min
lister to Mr.. Seward, nearly two years
since, viz, that the war between Spain
and Peru and other South American
republics long ago ceased, with no in
tention TO renew hostilities. This is
tho present condition Of affairs, al
though not formally announced in
the communications between these
governments, but when the represent
atiyes of Spain, Peru, Chill, Bolivia
and Ecuador, assemble in Washing
ton. in January, in joint conference,
it is confidently expected they will
give emphasis to the fact that peace
has been restored among them, with
the desire TO cultivate the most
friendly relations.
