bate.

Senate.-Mr Casserly objected to the i'm
mediate consideration OF MIR. Summers
Cuban resolutions. Mr.. Sumner replied
| that they had been carefully considered in
committee.
Mr.. Howard thought they might as we'll
| vote on the question now. Mr.. Casserly
persisted in his Objection, and the matter
| goes over under the rules.
| The Chinese labor bill was postponed on
| account of the illness of MIR. Casserly, VIII
| desires to amend it. In the course OF the
debate a disposition to interfere with Chi
| nese contracts was quite strong.
| The tax bill was resumed, but without any
| action.
| The Senate is in session tonight consid-
| ering the Southern Pacific Railroad bill.
| The Fremont interest is quite hopeful.
House-After long debate, the Appor'
| tiopment bill was referred to the Judiciary
Committee by vote OF nlnety-elght to
| ninety-fve.
This action is regarded as equivalent to
defeat of the bill this session, as the Judi
| ciary Committee stands number ten on the
committees to be called, and it is not likely
to be reached.
The vote was sectional, not party, the
Southern and Western members proposing
| the conference with some few exceptions.
The Georgia bill, as heretofore tele-
| graphed, was repor ed to-day.
/ Mr.. Dawes offered q substitute IN effect,
| that recognizing the fact that Georgia had
ratified the several amendments to the con-
stitution, was entitled to representation,
and was authorized to organize the militia
/ for her defense.
Other amendments were offered, when
Mr.. Farnsworth objected, saying MIR. Butler
had no right to accept amendments, when
Butler, as chairman, had resigned the floor
for that, or any person; that he (Farns-
WORTHY was entitled to it, and was instructed
by the majority of the committee to report
amendments. FarnswOrth and Beck &C
cused Butler of bad faith, in partially only
obeying majority OF the committee.
1t was agreed that the previous question
| be recommended at two O'Clock tomorrow.
The following is Mr.. Summers Cuban reso-
lutions
Resolred, That the people of the United
States cannot hear with indifference the re-
ports of barbarous outrsges which reach
them constantly from the neighborlng
Island of Cuba that they protest against
the repetition OF such acts, whether by the
Spanish government or the insurgents seek.

with indignation the shooting Of captives
taken with arms in their hands, as VIOLA
ton of the first principles of civilization
and contrary to the precedent happily es-
tabished on the North American continent,
and in the name OF humanity they solemnly
insist that these things shall cease.
2, That the people of the United States
are panied to hear that the pretenslon Of
property in man is still upheld in the island
colonies of Spain, lying on American waters;
that human beings endowed by nature
with the right to life, liberty and the pur
suit of happiness are held rs slaves, de-
spoiled of all rights; that, instead OF ter
minating this pretension at once, the Span

of gradualism; that such spectacle il
Justly offensive to all who love Republican
institutions, of which liberty and equality
are the cardinal principles, and especially
/ to the people of the United States, who nov
in the name of justice, and for the sake o.
good neighborhood, ask that slavery shal
cease at once.
