FORTY-FIRST CONGRESS-,
WASHINGTON, Dec. II.
SUSATp

WASHlNG1ON, DEC. II.
SENATE.
Mr.. Ross bill suspending the issue of the
title of the Miami reservation Of lands in
Kansas until the alleged frauds in the sale
have been investigated. Passed.
The bill providing a relief fund for the en-
ployees of the Executive departments, was
discussed for an hour by Messrs. Conkling,
Davis, Morton, Drake, Option, Howe and
Howell. The question turned on the propri-
ETY. of levying compulsory contributions upon
government clerks to defray funeral expenses
of deceased associates, and for other assO-
ciates. Objected
Mr. Howell proposed the establishment of
regular and sufficient fund to relieve all
actual want in the District of Columbia. He
detailed the circumstances attending Il de-
plOrable case of desutution recently coming
under his notice in Washington, and re-
marked that it was a burning shame and a
hidious crime on the part OF some one that
actual want should exist within the shadow
in the capitol.
Mr. Howe said the continued clamor by the
department. clerks about the insuticency OF
the pay had no effect upon the country at
large. That as heretofore, hundreds OF per-
sons daily made applications, either person
ally or by letters to members of Congress tor
clerkships. The influence was that they
were enabled to realize larger compensation
here than elsewhere. He went on to show
that Washington city had been scandously
slandered, as to extra charges for ordinary
expenses of living. His own experience was
that rates of living were very reasonable.
Mr.. Davis offered an amendment prohibit
ing political assessments in all the offices.
MIR. Wilson submitted substitute for the
amendment of a bill previously introduced by
him on the same subject.
Mr.. Drake indicated modification of Mr..
Davis amendment to the effect that prohibit
ton should cease as soon as the democratic
party come into power.
Mr.. Salisbury remarked that the lesson
taught the Senate from Missouri, in his own
State, had opened his eyes to the fact that the
party, of which he was so distinguished a
member, was about passing out of existence
