years from March 4th, 1875. Read and
placed on file.
During the morning hour Mr.. Clayton
moved that the Presidents message on
Arkansas affairs be taken up for the pur.
pose of having it referred.
Mr.. Edmunds raised the point Of order
that it could not be done. as by recent
rule Of the Senate communications must be
called in order, and nothing but unani-
nous consent could set that rule aside.
He therefore objected to taking up the
message now.
Mr. Clayton withdrew his motion.
House.
After reading the journal Of to-day, on
motion Of Dawes. the House went into
committee of the whole on the revenue.
E. II. Roberts obtained the floor and
made an elaborate speech.
Kelley followed. He began by saying
that the imposition Of war taxes in a
time Of peace was as ill-judged as it was
inopportune. He differed from the ma
lerity of his colleagues on the ways and
means committee. and attributed the
present financial distress and the embar-
raised condition Of the country to our
vicious system Of legislation.
At the close OF Kelley speech further
consideration o. the revenue bill was post
poned. and the House took UP the pension
appropriation BILL
Objection was made to the consideration
of the pension bill and the private calcn.
