XLIst CONGRESS---Second Session.


WASHINGTON, Feb. ia bill was intro
duced to construe section of the act exempt
ing certain manufactures from the internal
revenue tax, to include hog packers,
meat Gamers and others in the provision trade.
Referred to Committee on Ways and Means.
A resolution was adopted that the Secretary
OF the Treasury state the amount of unexpend-
ed balances in the various departments at the
end of the fiscal year.
The House went into committee of the whole
on the Leslsdative Appropriation bill. The
amendment offered yesterday to strike out the
appropriation tor reporters for the Congression-
al Gto0e was discussed for half au hour and
rejected, only three members voting for it.
Mr.. Flnkelburg OF Missouri moved to reduce
the item for public printing from 100000 to
$50 900, based on the proposed abolition of the
| ranking privilege.
MIR. Latin, chairman of the Committee on
| Printing, suggested that it would not be desir-
| able to cut down this item, as it was not too
| much for the absolutely necessary printing
| aud promised that his committee would report
| bill on the subject of printing which would
| meet the most economical desire OF the House
Mr. Dawes of Massachusetts,, chairman Of
| the Committee on Appropriations compl
| mented the chairman of the COMMITTEE on
| Printing on his well earned reputation OF econ
omy in the public printing. There were foul
items of printing which had nothing to do witt
| the ranking privilege, aud which amounted
| alone to $751;, 9O6. These items were: For the
| Patent Omce, S57 $50; Tor the treasury De
| partment, (Which used to be done at the Treas
ury), $36,2O0; for all Departments, $780, 746
and for Post Office printing, 100000.
The discussion occupied above an hour, and
was further participated in by Messrs. Ella
Sargent, Maynard, Latin and Butler of Mas
sachusetts. The latter suggested that if tn
| heads of departments or of the bureaus wer
| not fit to be trusted with ordering the amour
Of printing which they required, they were no
fit to be trusted with their position. he though
that that that was matter which might safe

Conversion seemed as sudden and remarkabl
as that of him who travelled to Damascus
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1870-02-14

He (Dawes) apprehended it to be his duty
whenever such a question was before the
House, faithfully, justly and impartially, but
without ielr favor or election, to make dill
gent inquiry where every every dollar OF the
public money bad gone or might go; and SO
long as he had the confidence of the House and
OF the country he should continue to pursue
that course, without regard to such lectures.
MIR. Butler dlsclaimed all intention OF lee
turing the House, and desired once for all TO
put bar against the analogy between Saul OF
Tarsus and himself He had heard it nineteen
times and half in the House. There were
things which he thought might be omitted
hereafter, because the country understood
them. First, that he voted for jeff Davis; sec,
ond, that he had got a sudden conversion; aud
third, that he had not been in the Republican
party as long some people. All that was
true He had no doubt that in the old times
there were men who stood by Judas against
Paul, because Judas was the old APOSTLE
Naughter.)
The appropriations for the botanical garden
provoked the usual criticism, but they passed
without amendment.
The committee rose, having disposed of all
but onefifth of the bill, and the House at 4
o'clock adjourned.

AS YOU are progressing, you will exceed your

ton to these facts, that you may take such ac-
| ton as is proper.
Yours very truly,
WIN. L. PUTNAM, Mayor.
After the reading of the communication
from the Mayor, the following preamble and
resolution was offered by Mr.. Blanchard:
| In BOARD OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE,
| Feb II, 1870.
Whereas, the School Committee of this city,
| for the information of the City Council, esti-
mated, IN the early part of the present year,
| that the sum OF $50, 900 would be required for
the payment of the salaries of teachers in the
PUBIC SCHOOLS, ana whereas tne Clty CouuclI,
notwithstanding such estimate, appropriated
for the purpose named only $44 450; and
whereas it is by law made the duty of the Au-
ditor of Accounts, whenever appropriations
| for specific objects shall have been expended,
| to Immediately communicate such fact to the
| City Council ''in order that they may make
| further appropriation or withhold as they may
deem expedient;' and whereas the Auditor OF
| Accounts has not notified the City Council that
the appropriation for payment Of salaries has
been expended, nor has the City Council taken
| any action in the premises, but this Committee
| having been informally notified by the Mayor
that there will probably be a deficiency of
about $4,000 for payment of salaries of school
teachers at the close Of the present financial
year. viz, March 31st, 1870; therefore
Resolved, That whenever the City Council
shall neglect or refuse to provide for the pay
ment of salaries of teachers in the public
schools of this city it will be the duty OF the
| Committee to suspend the same.
1t was voted to lay the preamble and resolu
ton on the table.
1t was then voted that the chairman be au
thorzed to acknowledge the Mayors commu
nication, and to state to him that the Boar
under the circumstances did not feel calle'
upon to take further action in the premises.
Adjourned.

The Departure of the Monarch

Precisely at 10 o'clock yesterday morning
the Monarch tripped her anchor and gradually
swung around until she headed in the direc-
ton of the channel when she slowly and ma

aboard the Monarch were His Excellency Gov.
Chamberlain, His Honor Mayor Putnam, Mr..
Fame, of the British Legation at Washington,
H. B. NJ. Consul Henry John Murray, Esq,

including most of the prominent United States

far as Portland Head Light on the U. S.

To Tie Editor Of The FTeSS:
Seldom does a week pass but some person
either in our own or some other city is bitten
severely by dog The city should pass law
requiring the police to notify the owner of a
large dog to muzzle him, and if not done to
shoot him. There are in our city large num-
Der of powerful Newfoundland dogs that are
saTrsse, treacherons and malicious. A muzzle
would do them no injury but would often pre-
vent the very unpleasant fights between then
daily witnessed ON our streets.
