On point Of order raiscd by Mr. HALE
(Mo.}, the socond section, which provides for

interest which accrued during tho Rebellion, a1,tl
nro still unpaid, on Tenncssoo and Arkansas
Stat, bonds to tho amount of 3251,9y0, wns
stricken out.
Mr. HALE. (Aro.) moved to strike out
the third section OF tho BILL which PROVIDES for
paying some $2'ooD,!ooo to the choctaw md
chiskasaw Nations, in conformity With tho
price Of some 10, 200 QUO acres Of land IN Aissis-
6tateH in 1880.
Nr. GARF1ELD, Chairman Of tho Committee
on Appropriations, sustained tho motion to
strife out the section on tho ground. chiefly, that
appropriation bills Wero not tIlo place for the
allowance Of private claims, md TINT it was nn-
FUR to other claimants to select ono particular
claim and put 1t into ~ approximation bill. lIo
reminded tho Committee that tls was tho laAt
Of twelve regular appropriation bills, aud thut
in not ono Of them could he found d singlo pri-
yato claim. lie therefore hoped tho Committee
would purauo tho same policy, md not nllow
tho last appropriation bill to be au exception to
tho rulo. Whutoyer Justice there wus in lie
clHim itsolf, a. quontlon which he declined to
discuss, thiB was not the proper place for allow
Ing it.
Mr. PARKER (A1p.) opposed the motion. He
Antd II this claim waH urged by nation that lad
power to hold tlliA nation accountable, the Chair
nan Of the Committee on Appropriations would
bo heard talting OF national honor and honesty
but here WIS uatou unable. to hold This Gov
ornnlont to accountability, and therefore tho
Payment Of its just domand was 10 bo postponed.

that 81 100000 Ind been appropriated at this
session to pay decisions Of the Court Of Cnins

Mr.. HALE (Ale.) argued in support Of bin mo-
tIon to strike out tho section. When narrowed
down, it was O proposition to pay over "a 900 900
to two mon, poter =. pitchlynn md Peter Fol-
SOM, living in tho City Of Washington, and
neitlor Of whom, ho presumed, had seon either
of their tribes within Tho last two years. His OIL
joction to it was two~fold: First tint 1t WAS not
certain that tho Rum fixed was tho proper sum

CIickasaw NationH. predict that 1t tho appro-
rriatlon. goes, as provided IN tho aaction, into
the hnnds Of these two men, thero will be in leHs
than two years great national scandal growing
out Of 1t. It will be found that tho ln1iaus havo
not 100000 OF 1t; or. il that be not 80, there
wll bo around and about Washington, not In tho
l,al's Of Congress, thank God, tho most lluu-
gry and Disappointed rayo.lous wolyos that lave
ovas sought to inlpel 4 olaim through Congress.
Mr.. HPEEN favored the motion to strike out
tue soot,on, and mid that when, sone days ago,
thB HouHo suspended tue ruloB 10 as to mako tho
section in ordor, tho balls were swarming with
lobbyists. Thuro was not QUO Of th0ao nun who

House vindieato ltholf nnd yind!oato the honor

Mr. KAsSON moved to strike out tho namoa
Of Iitonlynn and Folsom, and illaort In their
place tho Secretary Of the Interior for the bouet
Of Mthe Chootaw Nation. IIe said It was q
pledges OF contingent allowances in tho matter
to tho amountof s0o0, 900. Tho fact that such an
opinion prevailed was enough to mako tic

that whatever waa appropriated would 'bo sure
