APPROPRIATION FOR THE PAY OF UNITED
STATES MARSHAIS

HOUSE DEBATE ON THE BILL FOR sUNDRY CIVIL
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. MILLIONS IN LUMP
FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF JUsTICE-THE MONEY
TO BE sQUANDERED ON MARsHALs
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSE.l
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2i.-Some members Of the
House worked themselves into high state of ex-
ctement this afternoon two OF three sections of
the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill, providing for
the support of the Department Of Justice and to pay
the expenses Of detecting crime. The appropriation
for the Department was $S0o0,OOO in a lump, to be
used by the Attorney General in his discretion
The manner of making the appropriation-simply to
be expended in accordance with certain laws
which were named-was first attacked. Mr.. Gar
field explained that the appropriation had always
been made in this way. and that it was impossible
to particuarze it in items Then direct attacks
made on the Department itself, and there have
been great Irregularities in connection with the dis
bursement of money by United States marshals,
this was subject which it was possible for the
Democrats to make sharp. cutting speeches, which
the Republicans found it hard to answer.
The Western District of Arkansas, in which three
Harsbals have been appointed in three years, and
each one has turned out more dishonest than his
predecessor; the Eastern District of North Carolina
in which the United States Marshal disbugsed in
1872 an immense corruption fund, and others not 30
notorious were cited IN turn. The manner in which
the money of the United States is wasted in the
South by the multiplication of arrests on frivolous
charges and the summoning of scores of witnesses
from remote places, was also explained. But the
majority stood together. The Attorney General got
his full $8.O00,0O0.
This Department viii be one OF the first to be at
tackled when the Democrats get possession of the
appropriation billsin the next House. Unless they
change their temper they will not only cut down
the appropriations, but they will throw about the
appropriations such conditions and limitations as
win make the marshals much more careful 10 the
disbursements of money than they have been here

ING THE RECOGNITION OF THE REPUBLIC ADOPTED
BY A LARGE MAJORITY. l4---

The Assembly to-day finally passed the bill for the
organization of the Senate by vote Of 44s Yeas TO
241 Nays.
Previous to its passage the amendment to clause D.
offered by Mr.. Depit yesterday providing that the
70 Senators to be chosen by the Assembly be selected
from double list of nominations by the President
of the Republic, was voted down.
Having disposed of the Senate bill, the Assembly
took up the bill for the organization Of the public
powers, which passed its second reading about
month ago. and considered it clause by clause.
Amendments were moved by the Right and tho
Bonapartists. but all were rejected.
The clause implying recognition of the Republic
which had majority Of one only on Jan. 30. was
formally adopted by vote of 433 Yeas TO 262 Nays.

ident's powers, giving him the right to appoint

Committee
After the adoption Of clause Of the bill the de-
bate was adjourned until tomorrow.

desirous Of completing the bill and putting 1t on

FoRwARD-THR DEMOCRATS AGAIN RESORT TO
pnAToRY MoTIoNs-FAuURR OF THE NEW RULE
TO PREVENT FIIIBUSTERING
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRrBUNE)
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-At 8 O'Clock this after
noon, the House voted to take a recess until 7so
O'Clock, the pubic understanding being that the
evening session should be devoted to the considera
ton of the sundry Civil Appropriation bill. Gen.
Butler had, however quietly passed the word
around that if the Republicans were all present
when the House met, and the Democratic side
should happen to be there, the new Force
bill could be taken up, and so advanced
that 1t could be passed tomorrow. When the
House was called to order this evening, the number
of empty chairs was greater than those which were
filed, and the absence Of quorum was discovered
on vote on motion to go into Committee OF the
the Whole made by Gen. Garfield. Then the con
test began in earnest and after the House bad re-

New-York tribune., 1875-02-25

The increased amount of net earnings during the
year is due to very large reduction In the cost OF
operating and maintaining the road. The reduced
amount of traffic is attributed mainly to the operation
of the present Railway law Of Illinois, which
practically prohibits all traffic which might be obtained
at rates aordng profit than those resulting from
the fixed schedule OF charges Tho report concludes by
saying that low rates that have been charged on
many OF the Western railways for Transporting the
produced Of the soil for several years past have
caused trouble in many ways. The policy
which has been pursued has depressed shareholders
in many cases. Of all dividends and In Others bond
hodess have failed receive interest on their bonds 1t
has led tho people, and In even the courts
into the erroneous belief that such low rates
were reasonable, and that higher rates charged
on other lines therefore extortionate. THIS
has been one OF the principal causes OF
hostile and unwise legislation. 1t is beginning to be
apparent to the people that their efforts to establish
prices OF commodities by legislation must fail. and If
persisted in must result in injury to themselves as well
as to railway companies; and many persons are de-
mandlng the amendment repeal Of the present Rail-
way Law.

Mr.. PINCHBACK's HOPES BLASTED.

ACTION OF THE SENATE REPUBLICAN CAUCUs-THE
PINcHBACK CASE AT THE END OF THE LIST
INDIGNATION OF THAT AsPIRANT-ms VIEWS ON
ETHICS AND POLITICS.
-. IBY TELEGRAPH TO TBB TRIBUEEl
WASHINGTON Feb. 24.-The Senate caucus this
morning settled the case of Mr.. Pinchback probably
forever. 1t has been the desire of Senator Morton
to force the admission Of that gentleman at al
hazards. and this done, he thought the whole
Louisiana question would be as good as disposed or
He has had little patience with chose of his Own
party who opposed Mr.. Pinchback and has con-
sistenty and vehemently opposed all efforts to evade
the question. OF to postpone it, or set it aside
majority of the caucus were not OF Mr.. Mortons
mind. 1t was necessary for the caucus to determine
what should be done during the few remaining
DAYS of the session, and the relative Importance
of each question-which should be considered
first and which last This was the object OF the
session this morning. and after discussing the
various subjects it was decided, as is understood TO
consider the business in the following order, hrst
the appropriation bills as fast as they arc ready
second the admission of Colorado and New-Mexieo; |;
third the Civil Rights b,ll and fourth. the Pinch
back case The Territorial bills were disposed OF
to-day. The natural inference from this order is,
that the majority is opposed to Mr.. Pinchback for
it is well known that the Democrats have an
nounced their purpose to debate the Clvii Rlghts
bill until the 4th of March, before they will allow
any vote to bo taken on it. This of course would
prevent the consideration again of tho case.
That gentleman is highly indignant at the action
of the caucus. He says philosophy and ethics and
logic are very nice things TO have, and he thinks
the Senate is largely stocked but he says Is rather
deficient in practical experience. 1t is very nice to
be Republican, when being Republican does not
affect the personal prejudices OF Senators; but his
admission would not be very agreeable to certain
Senators personally he thinks, and therefore their
Republicansm is an abstract question of theory.
They are good Republicans where it affects anybody
but themselves. He says he knows he has
majority of the Senate if a direct vote
could be reached, although he knows that
many Republicans would vote for him who would
rather not have him in. He believes that the de-
mands of party would force them to do this on
direct vote but he says there are many Republicans
whose philosophy enables them to evade the ques-
ton by votes W postpone, &C. He is, himself, not
sanguine of his chances. OF course, at the next
session. the chances for Mr.. Pinchback will have
gone out entirely, because several of his friends
are going out and several vino are opposed to him
are coming in.
New-York tribune., 1875-02-25

of the Whole Here Mr. Randall interposed dilatory
motion. He moved TO reconsider the last vote, ana
Mr.. COnger meved to lay that motion upon the Ia
ble Then Mr.. Randall moved that the House ad-
journ, and pending that, another motion was made
to tx the time to which an adjournment should take
place. All of these motions were made before any
vote was taken, and so when the voting began II
continued Tor nearly two hours At about 10 O'CLOCK
on vote by Yeas and Nays, the Demo
Gratis refused to answer to their names. and
this left the House without quorum. Then
call of the House was ordered. and 212 members
were found to be present. Gen. Butler moved that
the absentees be sent for, and pending that Mr.
Sener moved that further proceedings under the
call be dispensed with. and on this the Yeas and
Nays were ordered, the call beginning at about IL
o'clock. From the manner in which the Democrats
are managing this evening, it looks as though the
Republicans had-aftcr all the time that they have
spent upon it-failed SO to frame their new rule as
to prevent ilibusterng.
At midnight Mr.. Wheeler said that as it was very
evident that the whole night was to be frittered
away and the members disabled for work to-mor-
row, he moved that the House adjourn. On this the
House divided, 81 voting in the affirmative and 20 In
the negative The Yeas and Nayswere then called, and
at 10 80, the vote was announced-98 Yeas and llo
Nays. To-nght's experience proves that the minor
ity have still the power to delay obnoxious legisla
ton under the rules as they now stand, although
the Republicans supposed they had cut oil TINS
power by their rule. The failure to get
at the Force bill this evening makes Its
passage more doubtful than ever before. Hereafter
motion to suspend the rules is in order at any
time. and may be interposed whenever an attempt
is made to get up the bill. 1t must therefore be
reached tonight or its friends might as we'll give
it up.
