WASHINGTON, December II.
SENATE.
The Kings Reception.

si Mr.. Cameron reported that King
Kalakaua would be in the President 5
room, in the rear of the Senate chamber,
! at IL 80 A. NJ. tomorrow, when the Sena-
!. tors would be presented to him.
;A Mr.. Cameron then submitted an order
! that the Senate meet at the usual hour,
and at 12:l5 take recess that the Senate
might proceed in body to the hall OF
the House and join in the ceremony ofre-
ceiying His Majesty. Agreed to.
The Senate then resumed the conside-
ration of the bill to revise, amend ana
consolidate the law relating to the secur-
ity of lie on board vessels propelled in
whole or part by steam, and the reading
thereof was continued. After the bill
bad been read through NJ. Boutwell,
moved it be laid over until Tuesday next
as an officer of the Treasury Department
WHO had been authorized TO make exami-
nation into certain provisions Of the bill
had not completed such examination.
Motion agreed to.
Mr.. Morrill,, of Vermont, submitted y
resolution granting the WOmen's Cen
tcnnial Executive Committee "t WASH
ingt0n the rotunda at the capitol, this al
tcrnoon and evening, for the celebration
to raise funds in aid of the National Cen
tennial Exhibition. Agreed 10.
Mr. Frclinghuyscn from the Commit
tee on Agriculture, reported back the bill

turc t. make special distribution st
Sn.l with an umrnlmpnt that so OlNj
instead Of $4,000 be appropriated for
that purpose. The amendment was
agreed to and the bill passed

bia.
The Senate then resumed the consider
alton of "A bill to- provide for better gov
crnmcnt of the District Of Columbia.
The pending question being, on motion
of Mr.. Thurman, to strike out tho word
Regents, and insert the word Com
mi>sohcrs, So that tine Board should be
styled Board of Commissioners, instead
of Board of Regents. Agreed To.
Nj. Morton said there was II feature
of this bill, to which he was entirely OPP
posed. There WAS no doubt the bill had
been worked up by those who had
charge Of it, but it provided for disfran-
chising the people of the District,
ljOOOO or 10000 persons. ltto9k from
them the power OF >clfgovcrnmcnt, and
put the government Of the District in
the hands of three men. In that respect
the bill was an,i-icpublic-
an and anti Democratic, and he
did not feel that he could
vote for 1t without quitting the spirit Of
the Constitution. He did not believe the
troubles of this. District grew out of the
right. of suffrage. lie believed the right
of local scll-govcrnment here was just AS
important as il was in New York or any
State, al d did not think the Constitution
of the United States sustained the argu-
mcnt of his friend.
Mr.. Morrill, said that Congress had cX-
elusive control over the District and
could abolish the right of suffrage
here. He MIR. Morton) knew
what would be- said about
abolishing the right. It would be said
that it was intended to get clear of color
ed suffrage. He knew that there were
people in this District who were willing
to be disfranchiscd to get clear of the
c0lorcd vote. From the beginning, this
city had local government, and Con-
grc,s had the same control over the Ter
ritorieS n over the District, and it would
not be argued that Congrcs, had tn"
power to dcpriv"the people of the Terri
tories of the right of suffrage. II Con
grcss had the power to drpute the gov
crnmcnt OF this District to
three men, us this bill provides,
il had the power To deputc
the government to the whole of the pro-
pie of the District Al the proper tim"
he would propose to offer I'M amendment
to provide for the election of their Com
missioners by the people Of the District
instead of their appointment by the
President.
Mr.. Morrill,, of Maine, said that this
bill violated no principle ofthe local gov
crnment: that il was never intcndcd that
the local government shoull exist here;
that the authority OF Congress over the
District was supreme; that the right of
local sclt-governmcnt existed. 1t was
not cXpcdicnt to have suffrage in this
District, and any Senator convcr-
SAINT with the various classes Of
authority here. in years past,
must agree with him. He had not the
slightest doubt that Congress had eIccu-
tive control over the District, and could
confer or withhold suffrage, us it thought
proper. Negro suffrage had been VERY
sickcning business to the people of TIN.

tlcmen of the provinces Of Louisiana,
who arrived here last night, say mat the

of the returns with a view solely of Civ
