Mr.. Hoffman, of Indiana, offered the fol

Mr.. Hoffman, of Indiana, offered the fol-
lowing resolution:
Resolred. That in the Judgment of this
House. in the present condition Of the fnan-
ciaI affairs of the government, no subsidies in
moneys, bonds, public lands, endorsements,
or by pledge of the public credit should be
granted by Congress to associations. or cor
porations engaged or proposing to engage in
public or private enterprises, and that all ap-
preparations from the public Treasury ought
to be limited at this time to such amounts
only as shall be imperatively demanded by
the public service. Adopted. Yeas 2z3'
nays 80.
Mr.. Springer Democracy, of Illinois, offered
a resolution declaring that in the opinion OF
the House the precedent established by WASH
ing.on and other Presidents OF the United
States in retiring from the Presidential office
after their second term, has become by uni
versal concurrence o part OF our republican
system of government, and that any departure
from that lime honored custom would be I'M
wise, unpatriotic and frsught with evil to our
free institutions. Adopted, yeas 1872 nays 10.
Among the nays were: HARRISON OF Ala
bama. Hope of South Carolina, Lyman of
North Carolina, Nash of Louisiana, Smalls of
South Carolina, Walls of Florida, Wells of
Mississippi and White of Kentucky.
On motion of Mr.. Blaine, Mr.. Rainey's
resolution abolishing the House Committee
on Freedmen's Affairs was agreed to.
BY Mr. Robbins, of North Carolina: A reso-
luton reciting that the tobacco trade is liable
to arrangement, by reason of the uncertainty
in regard to Legislation concerning the tax on
tobacco, and that it is desirable to quiet the
apprehensions on that subject, and declaring
it is the purpose of the House to allow no
modification of the present tax on tobacco TO
90 into effect before the first OF July, 1876.
He moved the previous question on Its
adoption.
MIR. Reagan, of Texas, remarked that there
was nothing in the resolution that the House
was called upon to deal with. 1t might be a
very appropriate resolution for town meet
ing, but not for Congress.
Mr.. Robbins remarked that the only pur-
pose of the resolution was to assure the
tobacco dealers and growers that the tax
would not be interfered with before next
July, so that they might know what to calcu-
late upon.
Mr. Cox, of New York, said he would not
tie his hands by voting for such resolution,
and it should be referred to committee The
House refused to second the previous ques-
ton, and the resolution was referred to the
Committee on Ways and Means.
The House passed concurrent resolution
to adjourn over from next Monday until
Tuesday, the 4th of January.
Adjourned until Friday.
