The sUNDRY CIVIL APPROPRIATION BILL.
with the Senate amendments, was received in
the House at noon to-day with a resolution that
the Senate insists upon its amendments, ard
asks for committee of conference. Mr. Gar
neid made the motion that the bill be taken
from the Speakers table and referred to the
committee on appropriations The democrats
opposed this act as the enforcement act had
oeen put on the bill by the Senate, and that
smendmt mt was Objectionable to them. As the
Dill was on the Speakers table, it required
tWo.thrds vote to take it up; but il it should be
reIerIed to the appropriation committee thew
eou a report II back, and majority vote would
pass IL. AS long as the bill remained on the
speakers table the democrats had the power to
prevent Its passage, and this they announced to
o tnelr intention unless the Objectionable
OF putting 1t on rested with the Senate. The
democrats made the proposition to let the bill
anu an me amendments, except the enforce
ment act, go to the committee to be reported
back and passed by majority vote the enforce
ment act to be reserved on the Speakers table
under the two,thirds rule. Mr.. Garfield would
not agree 10 this, and the democrats intimated
ihat they would defeat the bill rather than pass
IL with TINS obnoxious amendment. The matter
was discussed LOT some time, when objection
was made to further discussion and the bill took
I M place on the Speakers table. Subsequently,,
Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, offered a resolution thai
the bill and amendments be referred to the
eommlttee on appropriations, all amendments

vote except the enforcement act amendment.

entertain, upon point of order raised by MT.
boar, OF Mass, and declared that the effect
OF IL was an effort of the minority to
reserve to themselves the right to defeat
.ne pill against the wishes of the majority.
MI. Beck then offered a resolution declarino
that the action of the Senate in putting on
TINS amendment was in violation of the consti-
tuition Of the United States, and directing the
cierk OF the House to return the bill to the SEN
ate, with the request that they rescind their ac-
uon on the enforcement act amendment. Upon
