on the New York Customhouse frauds,
which was ordered to be printed.
On motion of Senator P0merOy, the
bill to encourage the growth Of timber
on the western prairies was amended so
as to require ten years cultivation Of
timber, in place Of five, to acquire
title, and was passed.
Senator Sherman called up the bill as
TO obtaining site for the Government
buildings at Cincinnati.
Senators Casserly, Bayard and Stock
ton opposed the bill.
Senator Buckingham thought the pro-
viding of buildings for the Collector of
Customs in New York of greater impor-
tance than the proposition referring to
Cincinnati.
Senator COnkling complained that the
attempts to secure consideration for the
Government buildings in New York had
been defeated by unreasonable objec-
tiOns.
The Cincinnati bill was tabled.
Senator Sherman moved to take up
the resolution Offered in the executive
session on Saturday, to extend the seS-
sion until six o'clock to-day.
Senator Howe interpOsed motion to
reconsider the vote by which the views
Of the minority of the Committee of In
vestigatiOn and Retrenchment, in Tela-
ton to the New York CustOmhOuse,
were ordered to be printed. This morn
ing he found that that document did in
justice to the majority of the committee,
by stating that the minority had been
greatly surprised tG find that, without
notice to them or consultation with
them, the majority had prepared a re-
port on the New York CustOmhOuse in
VestigatiOn.
Senators Bayard and Casserly reas-
serted that they had never received any
intimation that the report was to be
made at this session, until the Saturday
before it was made.
Senator Thurman then moved 10 pro-
ceed to the consideration of a resolution
to extend the session until six O'Clock
this evening.
Senator Chandler said he hoped the
resolution would not be adopted, and
that Congress would continue in session
until il should have completed all ne
cessary legislation. The time Of the
Senate had been wasted throughout the
session in pursuance of an agreement
made early in November last at a hotel
in New York, between prominent
Senator, formerly a Republican, and
a prominent Democratic Senator, and
Samuel J Tilden, of New York, and
other Democrats whom he could name,
to the effect that a new party should be
I L. i =, DnF,-r.,
ty; that during this session the Demo-
Gratis should keep quiet, and let the
discOntented Republicans do the talk
ing, and that a certain Republican Sen
atOr should be the nominee Of the new
party for the Presidency.
Fenton-Will the Senator from
Michigan name the Senators to whom
he refers?
Chandler-No, sir; / viii not.
FentOn said be did not believe word
Of the statement, but supposed the Sena-
tor to be misinformed.
Casserly remarked that he had spoken
to other Democrats on the floor, and
that there was not word of truth in the
statement from beginning to end.
Thurman would like TO know eX-
aetly what Senator's statement has
Chandler reported in his statement
about an agreement, and said again that
the Democrats had faithfully carried it
out.
Senator Thurman-That implies that
such an understanding was known to
the Democratic Senators because other
wise they could not have faithfully car
ried it out. Now, so far as l am con-
cerned, and each one can speak for him
self, give the statement a fiat, unquali-
fed contradiction. l say nothing about
manifest improperly in speaking Of
such an understanding when a man
will not take the responsibility of Civ
ing names; but say that the Senator's
own statement is the first | have ever
heard Of such an understanding.
Senator Stevenson-Is the Democratic
Senator to whom the Senator [Chandlerl
refers on this floor?
Senator Chandler-There was a Demo-
cratic Senator in that conference, but /
do not choose to name him.
Senator Stevenson-This is the first
have ever heard Of it, and think it is
due to the Democrats on this floor that
the Senator should not charge cOnspir-
acy on them unless he is prepared to
give the name of the Democratic Sena-
tor who took part in it.
Senator Chandler-In accordance with
that understanding, almost every day
Of the session, a perfect howl OF reform
was raised. Committee after committee
was organized, and time has been Occu-
pied day after day, week after week,
and month after month, in political dis
cussions. In which the Senators on the
other side have taken no part. After
some further remarks, Senator Chandler
said he would yield the floor to the vote
on the resolution to extend the session
until six this evening.
