against 4, to the report and recommed-
ed the passage of the bill providing for
the repeal OF the resumption clause of
the third section of the specie resumption
act of 1874. They also agreed to report
with only verbal amendment the
Joint resolution introduced last Monday,
by Representative Gibson, of Louisiana,
providing for the appointment of COM
mission of three members of the House,
three of the Senate and three experts, 10
| investigate the silver question and
the general policy, and the
best means of facilitating the
resumption of specie payment, the
result of their inquiries TO be reported to
Congress on or before the 10th Of Janu-
ary next. The favorable action OF the
committee on the resumption repeal bill
was secured by change in the position
of Gibson, who has heretofore voted with
the Republicans against it. Mr.. Hub
bell, (Rep.) of Michigan, did not vote IN
the Committee, but says he will vote in
the House for repeal.
The vote in detail was as follows: For

Esmes; not voting, Hubbell.

establishing the port of ST. Paul port
of appraisal. Passed.
MIR. Hurlbut from the Committee on
Civil Service Reform, submitted the re.
port of the committee IN regard to the
Chicago pension evidence, which wa:
ordered printed.
The committee recommend the passage
a resolution declaring that the acceptance
or demanding of money by any persor
as consideration for real or pretend' 4
influence in procuring appointments u
public Office, is disgrsceful to the indl-
oividual and prejudical to the public
interest, and that such misconduct is
good cause for removal and directing the
Judiciary Committee to report the bill for
the punishment Of such ofienses.
Mr.. Hereford moved that the House
now concur in the Senate amendments
TO the river and harbor appropriation
bill, and asked committee Of confer
ence.
Mr. Holman SAID he was opposed TO
the whole bill, but he understood that the
Senate amendments reduced the House
sppro opriat,ons, and he therefore moved
that they be concurred IN.
Mr.. Conger said the measure was the
bill of the people par excellence; the bill
that the Grange and farmers desired to
have passed, that they might have cheap
transportation.
Mr.. Holman's motion was rejected,
and he then moved 10 lay the bill on she
table. Rejected; yeas 46, nays l43.
Mr.. Hereford's motion was agreed TO-
and a conference committee appointed,
consisting of Messrs. Hereford, Reagan
and Dunnell.
Mr.. Banning, chairman of the Com
mittes on Military Affairs, submitted
report on the matters Of the contract iol

Speech of Hon. Thos. Swami.

FeAoo Citizens IL see before me on
this platform tonight some of my distin.
guished friends now in the Congress OF
the United States, who are here, by the
invitation of the committee of arrange
ments, to address you upon the national
issues that are engrossing the attention Of
the country. I should do injustice to my
self as well as this meeting if / did not
yield precedence to them as the preferred
speakers on this occasion. 1 congratulate
you upon this great outpouring Of the people
as an earnest of what may be expected
when the time for action arrives, and
Samuel j. Tilden shall have been present
ed to us as the standard bearer of the
conservative Democratic party.
/ am here tonight, my friends, as you
all know, upon my own soil, as the repre-
sentative of the fourth congressional dis
trict, and / fully recognize the propriety
of availing myself Of the earliest opportu.
nifty to speak at large upon the great and
important issues that are now engaging the
attention of the whole country. 1t is q
duty which / owe TO myself as well as to
those / am here to represent.
AT this time, however, | propose to be
brief 1t cannot be denied, fellow-citizens,
that this country has reached point in
the administration Of her public affairs
which calls loudly for Reform as indispen-
sable to our continued existence as a ma
tion. The Democratic party, recognizing
tho danger Of the situation, at an carly
period presented the name of Samuel j.
Tildon, Of New York, as the man of oil
others whose past antecedents and admit
ted craftsmanship promised the most as
sured success in the triumph Of the patri-
otto effort she was making to bring back
the government to tho proper standard Of
virtue and honesty which it so much
needed in rescuing US from the ruin i'm
pending over our country
The Republican party, on the Other
hand, presented the name of Gov. Hayes
Of Ohio, which together made up the issue
upon which the two parties now go before
the country, and which the Democratic
party are here to accept
The two most important and cardina
points, to which propose to call the at
tention Of the country in this connection

1t will thus be seen from official sources,
as before stated, that there are 301 mem
bers and delegates in the House of Repre-
sentatives, while there are only "a Sena-
tors, and that the expenditures of the
Republican Senate for officers and EN-
ployees are in proportion to the number Of
members -four times greater than those in
Cured by the Democratic House for the
same purpose. Let the friends Of reform
and retrenchment in the expenditures Of
the government look at this and say who
is 10 blame.
The right Of tho Senate to originate
money bills to meet the necessary expen-
ditures of the public service has been de-
MED in the past, even by some Of the most
prominent members Of the Republican
party, with Mr.. Sumner at thoir head
but the persistency with which the claim
of the House in their praiseworthy effort
to bring about retrenchment and reduc-
tion Of expenses, bearing as they do 50
heavily upon the people, and in the face
Of some Of the most important bills Of the
appropriation committee, involving the
credit Of the country, was Ignored and re-
risted, shows the extent to which party
feeling may sometimes be carried. | re-

The death of Mrs. Gen. Butler has
caused deep regret here. Some years
since she mad cancer on one cheek, and
went to Europe TO have it removed. The
operation was a successful one, but she
has never enjoyed good health since, and
last summer another cancer made its ap.
pearance just below her ear. She
had determined, after her daughter,
Mrs. Ames, returned from Mississippi, to
90 to Boston and have second operation
performed at the Massachusetts, General
Hospital. Last Sunday her attendant
physician noticed that the cancer was
spreading very rapidly, and he advised
Gen. Butler to take his wife
to Boston without delay They
left on Monday, arriving
there on Tuesday, and on Wednesday the
surgeon, at the hospital advised the i'm
mediat performance of the operation.
They did 50, and regarded the operation
successful, but she never rallied and died
Saturday. She was the daughter Of DR..
Hldredth of Dracut, near Lowell, and in
early life she went on the
stage, achieving considerable
SUCCESS before, on marry
ing Gen. Butler, she retired from the
foo:lights. She leaves three Children
the eldest Of whom is the wife Of ex Gov
Ames Of Mississippi; then there is son
Paul. who graduated at Harvard College
and another son, Ben, "ho is a cadet a
