passed. bill fixing the selection of
congressman and President in Louisiana
on the same day passed, and goes to the
PRESIDENT. The bill releasing Japan
from S375, 900, balance on the treaty,
passed. Butler, OF Massachusetts,, op.
posed the bill, as giving up nearly $780,
OuO without any sufficient reason for
doing so. He hoped that the House
would stand true to the people, and pre-.
vent the voting away of this money on
the mere sickly sentimentaIity of culti-
vating friendly relations with our half
savage friends in Japan. The Alabama
claims had been given up in order to oul-
tivate peace with Great Britain, and now
this money was to be given up in order
TO cultivate peace with Japan. Thus we
were buying peace, until we should be
the most degraded nation ON earth.
Butler, OF Massachusetts,, from the
Ku Klux Committee, reported the bill
to amend the Enforcement Act in regard
to elections. The reporting of the bill
was the signal for the opposition to re-
sort to parliamentary tactics to prevent
vote. Holman opened the ball, at
$40. bya motion to adjourn, supple-
meuted by motion, by Wood, that
when the House adjourn. it adjourn to
Neet on Friday next. The alienation
OF these two motions, which are always
IN order, may occupy the time Of the
house indefinitely. After several votes
by yeas aud nays, the Democrats show
ing no sign of yielding, and many Re.
pubiIoans not caring to keep up the USE
less contest, motion to adjourn WAS
carried, at half-past 4, by yeas 102, nays
