The Judiciary Committee presented d
bill authorizing the President to accept
the resignation Of any Federal Judge
from age or disability ty-safd Judge to re-
ceive full salary during his natural life.
Mr.. Wilson introduced a bill for the
removal OF political disabilities; which
was referred to the Committee on Disa-
bilities. It provides that the legal and
political disabilities of all persons, ex-
cept such as left the Cabinet or Con.
gress to go into the rebellion in 1860 and
1861, and those who have unlawfully
held office since May 81, 1870, shall be
removed. A billregulating tile mint was
passed. The Senate votes upon tho
amended San Domingo resolution at
o'clock.
In tue House, the argument turned
upon Ambler's amendment, which was in
effect that the appointment of commits
sloners should not commit Congress to
annexation. The argument turned upon
the point that the amendment was unne-
cessary, and that it would cause delav nv
sending it back to the Senate, and also
give additional virulence to the bad
blood existing there. The debate was
quite bitter, Butler and Bingham both
opposing and pleading against tho
amendment. Some sharp passages oc
Cured between Republicans, the most
angry of which was between Garfield
and Butler. The vote shows thoss op-
posed to annexation, though some who
voted against the amendment and for the
resolution did SO under the impression
that it would do no harm. The follow
ing is the vote on the amendment:
