Mr.. Poland gave notice of substitute which
ne thought would meet the popular demand.
tLaughter.) The substitute was read. 1t re-
peals so much of the salary act as increases the
pay OF Senators and Representatives and fixes
| it at what it was Immediately prior to that act
Il requires all moneys paid to Senators and
Representatives of the 43d Congress under the
provisions of that act, whether for the ADD or
43d Congress, shall be charged and reckoned as
part payment of their compensation as mem
oers of the 43d Congress. (Laughter.l 1t re-
qulres the Treasurer of the United States to
mail to each member of the 42d Congress who
| is not member Of the 43d Congress and who
received additional compensation, notice in
forming him of the repeal Of the law and re-
guest him to repay the difference received by
him into the treasury. .-
Mr.. Niblack said, as member of the COM
mIttee he agreed to most of the propositions
submitted by the minority, but dissented from
SOme
In the course of protracted discussion as to
the disposition to be made of the bill, Mr.. Gar
field recommended MIR. Hale to move the pre-
vious question and pass the bill at once. He
recalled the long discussion which took place in
1867 on a like subject to the exclusion Of other
public business, and suggested that the House
was prepared to vote at once on the simple re
peal of the increase of the salary law.
NJ Kelly of Pennsylvania, asked Mr.. Hale
whether his bill took effect from the first day
of the present Congress.
Mr. Hale replied that it did not.
Mr. Hale adopting Mr.. Garfeld's suggestion,
proposed to move the previous question, but on
| remonstrance of Messrs. Dawes, Butler and
other members who desired to let the House
have an opportunity of discussing the question
he did not insist on it,
Mr. Woodford of New York, renewed the
motion for the previous question in order to put
the bill on its passage at once, but the House
refused to second the demand by vote of GA to
l32, and finally it was arranged that the matter
should come up tomorrow after the morning
hour to the exclusion of all other orders, the
speeches to be limited to twenty minutes, and
the motion to recommit being all the while
pending.
The Speaker laid before the House COM
muncaton from the Secretary of the Navy,
referred to the Committee on Appropriations.
The resolution that Mr. Shanks of Indi ana,
was entitled to a seat was adopted, and Mr..
Shanks took the oath. Adjourned.

Duffee. Action to recover the sum of $75-the price
sewing machine.
Plaintiff says he sold the defendant Weed sew
ing machine agreeing to take part payment out OF
the defendants jewery store in Lewiston that come
time subsequent he went 10 defendants store in
Lewiston and selected silver watch, the price OF
which s55; the defendant not in at the time
and the clerk knowing nothing of the transaction in
regard to the machine declined to allow the plaintiff
10 take the watch until Mr.. McDufee returned
plaintiff then left requesting the clerk to tell the de-
PENDANT to send him the watch by express; not hear
ing anything from defendant and not receiving the
watch he wrote several times to McDufee requesting
him to send the watch after waiting some months
and not hearing anything from McDufee he CON-
incnced this suit.
The defendant says the plaintiff was to take the
whole pay for the machine in goods and that he has
always been ready to fulfil his part of the contract
that the clerk made mistake in the price of the
watch selected by plaintiff and therefore he did not
send IT, but called on the plaintiff twice at his store
on Middle street with O number of watches for plain
tiff TO make a selection from, and plaintiff was out
both times Defendant denied ever receiving but
letter from plaintiff in which plaintiff requested him
to send him in an american watch, chronometer
balance adjusted" which description McDufee says
was so vague he did not dare to send watch upon
that order. Verdict for the plaintiff for S76.O2.

Call for n Naval Appropriation.
The Secretary of the Navy to-day sent the
following letter to the Speaker of the House Of
Representatives which was referred to the Com
mittee on Appropriations:
"Under the circumstances of the present
emergency, 1 am compelled to ask that spec
ial appropriation be made to cover the expenses
of putting the iron -clads and cruising navy of
the United States in condition for immediate
and active service. L have token measures to
put every available iron and wooden ship of
our navy in condition for immediate duty. I
have ordered all ships of the various squadrons
within reach to rendezvous at Key West. I
am enlisting men to supply and fill up the
crews of all our vessels. have accumulated
materials, provisions and supplies for their
maintenance and support and ordnance, ammu-
milton and all the weapons of a naval warfare
for their use. The circumstances which con-
strained the Department to this unusual activi-
ty and consequent expenditure are known to
you and to the country. The fact that they oc-
Cured during the recess of Congress made it
necessary that should myself assume the re-
sponsibility of a prompt action:
He concludes by saying that it will cost
81, OOO. 900 to put the iron clads in available
condition, and $1,000, 900 to build the contem
plated monitors"
