the newspaper postage. TO commence
July /. 1875. should be two cents per
pound on weekly and daily papers. and
three cents per pound on others. He
said the House bad sent to the Senate
clean appropriation bill. without any
legislation Whatever. The Senate bad
engrafted on that bill a vast amount Of
legislation such as never ought to be
forced through Congress on an appro-
pria,ion bill or in any other way, except
on its most thorough examination and
fullest deliberation.
Cobb inquired as to the provision to
prevent straw bids.
Tyner replied that the Honse bill on
that subject had been materially altered
by the Senate, and had been engrafted
on the Postofice Appropriation bill, and
that the House bill was decidedly better
than which the Senate proposed.
Eliridge questioned what mysterious
power it was that was able to thwart the
efforts of Congress to do what all men
acknowledged ought to be done IN this
matter Of straw bids. We should stay
here until next August or the next ses-
sion, rather than be baked IN our efforts
to provide against the crying evil.
Luttrell said: / hope the matter will
be referred back to the Committee of
Conference, and let US stay, as the gen.
tleman says, till the next SESSION, or
break up this combination against the
Government.
Hawley, of the committee, opposed
conference report, on the ground OF the
high rates of postage fixed for newspa-
pers, and stated that the effect would be
to dimish the revenue from that source
by forcing newspaper publishers to make
arrangements with the railroads and ex-
press companies.
Further consideration of the report
was interrupted by the close Of the Mon
day session and the formal opening of
Tuesdays session.
Dawes, in consequences OF the post
ponement of the Tariff bill till next De-
cember, moved to take up and pass the
Senate bill to extend the time for the re-
demption OF certain lands for direct
taxes. Agreed TO.
The Senate met at 10 a. m.
Morrill,, of Maine, submitted resolu-
ton authorizing the Committee on APP
preparations of each House of Congress
to sit at the Capitol during the recess, to
inquire as to what reforms can be made
in the several branches of the civil SER
vice. and reduce the appropriations
therefore. Agreed to.
A message was read from the House an
nouncing non-concurrence IN the re-
port Of the Conference Committee on the
Tariff bill, and asking a new conference.
Sherman said it was manifest that
Congress could not agree on the disputed
points of the bill at this stage of the ses-
sion. He therefore moved that it be
postponed till the next term. Agreed to.
Hamlin called up resolution recog-
nizing arbitration as just and practicable
without q settlement OF international
difficulties.
On motion of Anthony the Committee
on Printing was given leave to sit during
the vacation of Congress.
The Senate then proceeded to the con-
sideration of the House bills on the cal
endar, with the understanding that any
objected to be laid over. A number
were passed, including the bill extending
the time for completing entries Of the
Usage Indian lands in Kansas.
In the House, Garfield, from the Con-
ference Committee on the Sundry Civil
Expenses Appropriation bill, made re-
port. In reply to the question as to
how the Civil Service matter was left,
Garfield said the committee had agreed
to chop the whole subject out of the bill,
and it was not alluded to any way
whatever.
Butler inquired how that left the un-
expended balance of $4,000.
Garfield said that it came under new
law requiring unexpended balances to be
carried back into the treasury, excep,
balances on public buildings and some
other matters, but of which this is moi
one.
