IIOISE.

The bill reported yesterday from the
committee on Revision Of the Laws, in
reference to appeals to the Supreme
Court was taken up, and after consid-
cradle discussion OF technical charac-
ter, was passed substantiallyas reported
The point on which the discussion
principally turned was the section
allowing writs OF error in criminal cases
from the Territories, Mr.. Bingham
striving to have that SO modified as TO
restrict it to capital offenses and claim
inn that if it applied to mere peniten-
tiary cases, it would delay and impede
Justice in the case Of Mormon prosecu-
tions in polygamy, His amendments,
however, were rejected.
Mr.. Dawes proposed to call up for
action the report of the committee on
WAYS and Means on the action Of the
Secretary OF the Treasury in negotiating
the new loan. He was willing TO sub
nit the question without discussion.
Mr.. Sargent desired the House to
proceed with the Indian appropriation
bill. but finally it was decided to 90 on
with the report on the syndicate matter.
The resolution reported by the commit.
tee was read, justitying the Secretary OF
Treasury in the matter OF negotiation.
Mr.. Cox proposed as an amendment
a resolution directing the committee on
Wavs and Means to report TO the House
the bill introduced by him for the bid
ding OF commissioners in the sale OF
United States bonds.
Mr.. Dawes briefly recapitulated the
facts in the case and defended the re.
port OF the committee on Ways and
Means
Mr.. Kerr, of the Minority OF the
committee, contested the report.
Mr.. Beck claimed that the three
months interest which the syndicate
mad received on the bonds without pay
ing any consideration for it was 81, 02j,-
600, which sum, added to its commis-
sions made its aggregate compensation
s., ,462 800. The same comparison ap-
piled to the remainder Of the law would
allow the syndicate to reap the munifi-
cent harvest OF S24,000,000, aud he
argued that no such expenditure was
contemplated in the funding law.
Mr.. Beck, also Of the minority Of the
committee, stated why he was unable to
agree with the committee in its report.
He argued that the contract entered
into by the Secretary OF the Treasury
with the syndicate was not authorized
10y law, and that it gave the syndicate
an unconstitutional and improper con-
troll of the funds Of the Government for
the purpose Of private gain. which Con-
gress ought not TO sanction.
Ellis H. Roberts, OF New York,
defended the Secretary OF the Treasury,
and argued that he had, by his course
in the syndicate matter, saved over
81 100000 to the Government. II the
House refused to pass the impending
resolution, it would hardly be safe for
the Secretary of the Treasury to buy
sheet of paper or have die struck, as
that would increase the Indebtedness Of
the Government.
