ters are left at fourteen thousand dol

and they remained thus hXed,
Mr. KassOn moved to place the min
later o Italy, whose salary the bill fixes
at eight thousand dollars, to ten thou
sand dollars.
The motion was rejected, aud the mis-
sion to Italy stands at eight thousand
dollars.
An exchange OF civilities Of debate
took place between Messrs. Springer and
Hale, based on remarks in Hale's speech
this mOrniDg, at which Springer took
offense, and he intimated, in the course
of his comments, that Hale stood in
with revenue men in high places, or was
the recipient of the hospitality Of those
who plundered the District. That was
no evidence of manhood or integrity,
inasmuch IS certain persons who had
enjoyed the same honors were now in the
panite ntisry or on the way there.
Mr.. Hale explained the remark COM
planned OF, and justified it on the ground
Of Springer having told yesterday an
spocryphal anecdOte Of President Lin
coin, which he Hale deemed unfit for
repetition in this hOusF.
Mr.. Banks moved to restore the mis-.
sion to Greece, and spoke In favor OF his
motion and the iI1iigenee OF MIR. Reed.
and thera is, therefore, no provision ia
the bill for the mission to Greece.
At this point in the bill the committee
rose and the house adjourned.
