The members enjoyed regular field
day in the house yesterday. First Mr..
Singleton proceeded to address the house
on the condition of public affairs in M:-s-
slssippi. He gave an emphatic denial
to the statements made in the house aud
senate that there had been frauds COM
mitted in the recent elections in that
State, and said that no Luoh thing had
been charged on the part of the govern
ment Of Mississippi, or of the election
judges. After this Randall made his
speech published elsewhere) show.
ing the reductions in expenditures
made by the Democratic majority in the
house. This was like treading on the
tail of the glossy Radical coat, and the
result was an outpouring OF the vials of
Republican wrath frightful to read, but
being q rehash of all that has been said
on that side since the war, the APPEAL
cannot make room for it. The next
cause of excitement was the presentation
of Grants cheeky message, given else
where. On its being read, Mr.. Reagan,
of Texas, moved its reference to
the committee on commerce, and msde
speech, in which he justly and se.
verify took Grant to task. Messrs. Conger
aud Kssson defended the message,
which Notwithstanding was reierred.
After the evening recess Mr.. Kssson
obtained the fl Dor and made a violent
and insane attack upon the Democratic
party and Mr. Tilden, of whom he re-
peated many falsehoods put in
circulation by Sena'or Morton.
Ol conclusion, Banning's bill to in
crease the cavalry force was carried by
vote of one hundred and twenty-one
to forty-one. Mr.. Cox, of New York,
then took the fiUor and
answered KassoD, whom he charged
with lying deliberately. A scene eu-
sued. The words were taken down, and
a motion made to bring the excited New
Yorker to the bar of the house, but after
vain contest, up to two o'clock this
morning, the motion did not prevail,
and one by Randall to allow Cox to pro-
ceed was equally unfortunate.
In the senate, Senator Spencer SUBJ
mitted a concurrent resolution, pro-
viding for the appointment of a joint
committee, to consist OF three senators
and three members OF the house, to pre-
pare a suitable form Of government for
the District of Columbia, and report at
the next session Of congress. Senator
Edmunds moved to take up the proposed
constitutional amendment prohibiting
the appropriation Of money for the sup
port Of sectarian schools, which, after a
long debate, at one o'clock was defeat
ed for want of a two thirds majority.
The Hawaiian treaty was then taken
up and passed. Spencer, Of Alabams,
then offer a resolution for an appoint.
inert Of what M ,rton called smelling
committee, to investigate the recent
overwhelming Democratic msjority in
Alabama, but objection was made. Lo-
g4n's bill permitting the President to
employ volunteers was then taken up
and passed.
