MISCELLANEOUS.
The sundry civil appropriation bill, with the
! Senate amendments, was received i'll tie House
at noon to-day, with a resolution that the Sen
ate insists upon its amendments and asks for a
committee of Conference.
NIr. Garfield made the motion that the bill
be taken from the Speakers table and refer
red to the committee on appropriation. The
| Democrats opposed this act, as the enforcement
act had been put on the bill by the Senate
and that amendment was objectionable to them.
AS the bill was the Speakers table, it re-
qured a two-thirGs vote to take it up, but If it
should be referred to the appro priatiOn COM
mlttee, they could report it back, and ma jor
ity vote would pass it as lon. the bill remain
ca on the Speakers table. The Democrats had
! the power to prevent the passage, and this they
announced to be their intention. unless the OIL
jectiOnablc amendment was taken off. as the
responsibility of putting it on rested with the
Senate. The Democrats made proposition to
let the bill and all the anne nimentS except the
enforcement act, go the committee to he re-
ported back and passed by a majority vote,
the enforcement act 20 be reserved on
the Speakers table under tbs two
thirds rule. Garfield wouldn't agree to
this, and the Democrats intmatCd that they
wolff, defeat the bill rather than pass 1t with
this obnoxious amendment. The matter was
discussed some time when oh lection was made to
further discussion, and the bill took its place on
the Speakers table
Subsequently, Campbell, OF Ohio, offered d
resolution that the bill and amendments be re-
ferred to the Committee on Appropriations
that all amendments be reported back and
passed by majority vote, except the enforce
ment act amendment which sliotild require p
twO-thirds vote to pass it. g
This resolution the Speaker refused To enter
tain upon a point of order, raised by Hoar, of
Massachusetts,, and declared the effect Of it was
an effort of the minority to reserve to them
selves the right to defeat the bin against the
wishes of the majority.
Beck offered resolution declaring the action
of the Senate in putting this amendment
violation of the Constitution, and direct
ing the Clerk to return the bin to the Senate
with the request that they rescind their action
on the enforcement act amendment.
Upon this Beck moved to suspend the rules
and pass the resolution. This motion was de-
feated by a vote at "A yeas to 81 nays.
Garfield t1en moved to suspend the rules and
refer the bill TO the Committee on Appropria-
tions- This was negatived by strict party vote,
81 yeas to 81 nays,it requiring two-thirds vote
Both Houses have passed the conference re-
port upon the appropriation bill for awards of
the Southern Claims Commission. u
The House is still fi'libustering over the sup
force bill. There seems to be a pros
pect OF compromise, but in any event the pas
sage of the force bill this session is very improb
aDle.
