Mr. Cox produced precedent for it from a
former appropriation bill and said the only
question was whether Congress would maintain
or repeal the hour law. If the law was not

The amendment was rejected-only q mem

MIR Frye of Maine, then brought up the
question of the alleged discharge bv the door
keeper of crippled and disabled Union soldiers
on the door keepers roll, aud remarked in an
ImpasSoned speech that when the President of
the United States saw fit to take men who had
been 10 the Confederate SERVICE and who TODAY
are Democrats, and put Them in positions of
responsibility aud power, aud when the Repub.
licao party. of the country comnende the
| that the doorkeeper should in the interest of
! pacifcatou be allowed to discharge crippled
| and disabled UHion soldiers and put Copfed-
| crate soldiers in their places.
| Mr.. Cabell of Va.-Does the gentleman from
| Maine consider that the President has done
wrong III forming his cabinet?
| Mr.. Frye-I do
MIR. Kliinger of Pa,-Apd so do I.
Mr.. Mcmahon of Ohio replied to MI Frye,
| and said that although there were 5000 disabled
| U MON soldiers in his district, he never heard
| OF any OF them getting position in any of the
| departments OF the government. This talk
! about disabled Union soldiers OH the door
keepers roll amounted only to this-that some
members had got some favorites of their own
| appointed. Were there no Union soldiers in
the country, be asked. except those who voted
| the Republican ticket? In his district the boot
had been put on the other leg.
Mr.. McMahOn went on to say the doorkeeper
| had not vet fixed up his permanent roll ID
| ion soldiers throughout the country were to
have their share of the 80 900 or 100 600 offices.
| MIR. SPARKS denied that the doorkeeper had
| turned out crippled Union sJldiers and put in
| their places other men not manned so ldiers. He
had turned ont few Republican Union SOL
| diers and had filled their places with crippled
Democratic Union soldiers, just as the people
OF the 9th Ohio district had elected q one
| legged general to represent them (Rice) ard as
the gallant Democracy of New Jersey had
elected as their governor that gallant Dem
ocrat, General Mcclellan. (Applause.)
The discussion was carried on for some time
| amid great uproar and confusion and finally a
proposition offered by MIR Foster of Ohio, d.
recting the retention of these disabled soldiers
| was ruled out of order and the ruling on the
| appeal was sustained.
| Committee soon afterwards rose and report
| ed the bill and amendments.
A vote on the amendment appropriating
| 100000 for star service 10 mall contracts was
| ordered and taken by yeas and nays, and re-
suited yeas 10S, nays 129. so the amend nent
was rejected.

Views of the RepubIiaue Fraurai


PARIS. Nov. 21.-The R-pubique Franchise
declares that in view of the Senat+'s pretensions
aud the Presidents refusal to change the poll
cy, it becomes clearly the duty of the Deputies
to refuse to vote the budget. The Chamber
must save the country. No budget must be
voted as long as the majority has not miuis-
try 10 whom it can place confidence.
What the London Times Thinks.
LYNDON, Nov. 21.-The Tim, has a leading
article on the French situation, which cor
cludes as follows:
The moderate Right of the Senate did not
mean to produce the mischief they have oc-
casioned, but the result is Def re us. The pow
ers OF France are ptted against one another
