The house was occupied all day with
the deficiency bill, which appropriates
about one and half millions dollars.
The two principal items were to pay
the judgments Of the court OF claims
and the salaries of postmasters.
On motion of Mr.. Waddell, OF North
Carolina, an amendment was adopted
rendering available for the service OF
carrying the mails on other than rail-
road and steamboats, routes, seven hun.
bred thousand dollars heretofore appro-
priated, but not expended, The amount,
however, was voted down In the house.
No further action was taken on tho

In the senate this evening, four re-
publican senators demanded an imme.
diate vote on Mr.. Hoar's motion to lay
on the table the resolution OF Mr..
Thurman's to discharge the commit
tee on privileges and elections from
the further consideration of the ere
dentials of M. G. Butler AZ senator
f.o,x, South Carnlina
The democratic senators opposed
this motion, and to carry the matter
over until tomorrow, Mr.. Thurman
submitted motion for an executive
session, which was agreed to by yeas,
80; nays, 20, Messrs. Conner, of Flor
ida, and Davis, OF Illinois, voting with
the democrats In favor of the execu.
tive session.
The silver bill, reported after execn.
tive session on Mr.. Thurman's resolu-
ton, dischargiDg the committee on
privileges and elections from further
consideration OF the senatorial contest
from South Carolina, was discussed
to adjournment.
In the senate during the discussion
on Mr.. Thurman's motion to discharge
the committee on privileges and elec'
tions from further consideration of the
South Carolina senatorial contest, Mr..
Hill, of Georgia, amember OF the com
mittee on privileges and elections,
said AZ member Of the committee
he would vote for the resolution sub
mitted by the senator from Ohio, (Mr.
but he deemed 1t to be his
duty in justice to himself and the
and the senate, to state
briefly the reasons influencing him
for this vote and he would endeavor TO
do 80 without arralgning any one. He
did not think the resolution OF the
senator from Ohio could be considered
as discourteous to the committee on
privileges and elections. According to
his views of the facts in the case, he
thought the resolution proper one.
He then reviewed at some length the
case OF Mr.. Eustls, claiming a seat as
senator from Louisiana, those Of Mr..
Butler and Mr.. Corbin claiming seats
ss senators from South Carolina, and
of Messrs. Kellogg and Bpofiord of
louisiana, and said during the discus
sion of the Pichback case In the senate,
the senator from Indiana, now deceas-
ed (Mr. Morton), distinstly stated that
II Pinchback was not entitled 70 the
seat Eustis was. Subsequently the
senate decided Pinchback was not en-
titled to the seat. He had hoped at
the beginning Of this session that no
one would want TO reopen the Louis.
lana case, but that Mr.. Spofiord would
be seated, In this he was mistaken.
In his opinion the committee should
have considered these credentials In the
order of their date, which would have
brought the Eustis case first, the
Butler-C orbin case second, and Spot,
ford-Kellogg case third, but the Gems
mittee decided to invite Messrs. Kel'
logg and spoford to present their cases
first, and OF course Messrs. Butler, Cor
bin and Eustis could not present their
cases until invited by the committee
to do 30.
