Messrs. Fowler and Thurman spoke
against Mr.. Summers Cuba resolutions.
Mr.. Thurman said the resolutions were
very grandiloquent, but what good would
this piece of rhetoric do the Cubans He
was in favor of saying to Spain-and in the
simplest words in which it can be ex-
pressed you not only ought to recog-
nize the independence of Cuba, but you
out the second and third sections of the res
Olutions.
Mr.. CasserIy also spoke against the reso-
lutions, but was interrupted by the regular
order of business.
The tax bill was then taken up, and the
income tax stricken out, by vote of thirty
four to thirty. three; after which the bill was
made the special order for Monday:
new appOrtiOnment bill was introduced.
The Senate is in session tonight.

a decided negative vote upon mixed schools,
the Georgia bill passed in the following
shape, and goes to the Senate.
Section l. Be it enacted, That the State
of Georgia having complied with the recon-
structiOn acts, and the fourteenth and ff-
teenth articles of amendment to the consti-
tuition Of the United States, having been rat.
ifed IN good faith by legal Legislature of
said State. it is hereby declared that the
State of Georgia is entitled to representation
in the Congress of the United States, but
nothing in this act shall be construed to de-
prive the people of Georgia of the right to

Section 2. That SO much of the act en-
titled an act making appropriations for the

the militia forces in the States of Georgia,
Mississippi, Texas and Virginia, be and the
same is hereby repealed.
After some other unimpOrtant business
the House adjourned.
The Democratic members and Senators
have issued an address, in which they state
that nearly third of the United States Sen.
ate depends upon tie legislatures elected
this year, sand the character of the next
Congress depends upon the fall elections.
They have strong reasons to hope for favor
able result, and they beg their Southern fel-
low.citizens not to risk any loss by electing
persons who cannot'take the test oath, or who
come under the disabilities imposed by the
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, as
they will certainly be excluded.
A full Congressional committee has been
appointed.
In the House to-day, Randall rising to q
question of privilege, sent to the Clerks
tween himself and the prOprietors Of the
Globe, in which be complained of an omis-
sion from the published debate on the Cuban
question. The retort which he had made
to a remark directed at him by Butler, of
Massachusetts, 'that fools often ask Ques-
tons which philosophers cannot answer"
Mr.. RandalIs retort was, fools are some
times honest, and that is more than you
are"
The reply of the proprietors of the Globe
was that the paragraph was inserted III the
reporters manuscript; that the manuscript
was submitted to Mr.. Butler; that the as
slstant foreman had, with singular lack OF
appreciation, let it pass; that he had struck
out the paragraph, adding 1t would be i'll
serted in the fourth edition OF the Gto6e.
The proplietors cay that they never have
admitted and never can admit the right OF
one member to revise to the extent OF one
syllable the remarks OF another.
Buffers conduct in erasing Randalrs re-
marks was referred to the Committee on
Rules.
The Democratic Senators and members in
Congress, in caucus, agreed upon the follow
ing address, which was to-day signed:
To Our Fellow Citizens OF the United States:
Friends OF Constitutional, Economical and
Honest Government: :.
The undersigned beg leave TO call your at
tention to the peculiar Importance of the
elections which take place this year, and
respectfully to submit some suggestions for
your consideration. By the State Legisia-
lures to be elected, nearly one-third of the
United States Senate will be chosen. and
nearly all the members of the next House
of Representatives are to be elected

tioDs then depends the question of whether
| the Democratic and Conservative element
for the Senate, shall be increased. and
whether that element shall have majority
in the House of Representatives; and. as a
