CONGRESSIONAL,
WAsHINGTON, April 70.
HOUSE.


HOUSE.
Mr., Hubbel from the Committee on
Commerce reported bill eXemptlng
from enrolment and sdmessurement all
vessels not propelled by steam or sail,
except vessels Of that character engaged
IN contiguous foreign territory. Passed.
The House then went into q committee
of the whole; Mr.. Mills in the char, on
the postotIice appropriation bill.
Mr.. Banning offered an amendmCn.
dividing the letter carriers into two
classes, those who have served over one
year and those who nave not served one
year. The former to receive 1000 per
year and the latter $500.
The amendment was ruled out on
point Of order.
Mr.. Cannon moved to increase the az
gregate amount appropriated for the pay
of letter carriers, provided the amount
received by any letter carrier shall not
exceed the amount he now receives. He
did not desire to increase the pay OF let
ter carriers, but wished 10 give the Post
master General money by which he could
furnish additional carriers at Chicago
and other cities. The amendment was
rejected.
The committee rose and reported the
bill to the House, and the first amend
ment on which vote was taken was the
one increasing the appropriation for spe-
cial agents from 100000 to $ljO.OOO.
Agreed TO- yeas l02, nays 81
ba lT
providing that the per diem of special
agents shall only be allowed when they
are travelling on business of the Depart
ment. Adopted.
The amendment providing that the
compensation Of postmasters OF
the fourth class shall be based
on the number OF stamps cancelled, IN
stead of the number sold al their respec-
tive offices, was agreed TO. After several
other minor amendments had been
adopted, the bill passed
MI Phillips, rising TO question OF
personal privilege, said that in a speech
delivered few nights sgo by the gentle
man from Mississippi, referring to money,
that gentleman had stated that Northern
memD Ders had introduced bills sppropri-
ating 969,OOO,OOO sndl tnat he
Phillips had introduced one sppro-
pristing 81, 3OOOOO,OOO. LLaus shter ]
That was very respectable amount,
but reference TO the bill would
show that it only asked for an
appropriation of $4,000. They
could do some remarkable things
in Mississippi, especially in arithmetic
in regard to the elections. Raising go
600 TO $l,3OO0OO,OOO was q remarkable
thing, even for Mississippi He pre-
sumed that the rest of the gentlemaL's
figures were equally accurate. The ap-
preparation asked tor in his Phillips ]
bill was not even TO be expended IN the
Northern Ststes.
Mr.. Finley wanted 70 know # it was
q question Of privilege for member to
make a comparison between the state
ments in a speech and the truth in re-
gard TO facts. If it was, be would take
one-hsli of the speeches of the gentle
men oD either side and show that they
were not true.
Mr Phillips said be bad been attacked
for bringing in bill OF tina. character
approprIsting $50 100000 and it wss

TIE PoPE'S ENCYCLICAL.
What IL Says About the Civil Power
oil the church.

LONDON, April pa passage in the
Pope's encycllCal, the issue OF which was
announced yesterday, regarding the civil
power Of the Church, is as follows:
The hopes OF Italy and the world rest
upon the benefcent influence of the
Holy See and the intimate union of all
the faithful with the Roman POntiti. 1t
therefore stands to reason ttu. we should,
with all diligence, do all in our power TO
preserve intact the dignity OF the Roman
Catholic Church in order, before all
things to guard the rights and liberty OF
the Holy Soc. We shall never cease t.
insist that our authority be respected;
that our ministry and our power be lett
fully free and independent and that the
position be restored ID US Ia which divine
wisdom long ago placed Us. II Is no vain
desire of the dominion which
moves US to demand the reestab-
lshmeEt OF our civil power. We
demand it because our duties and our SOL
emn oaths exact 1t, and because 1t is not
only necessary to conserve fully the lib
erty Of spiritual power, but also because
It Is evident tLa. when 1t is question OF
temporal domain Of the Apostolic See, Il
involves the well being and safety Of the
whole human family. The Pope dis
unCtly endorses the policy and acts OF
his predecessor, condemI civil marriages,
and deplores the rejection of the suthor-
ity OF the church, proclsiming that to be
the cau.e of ali existing evils, and, IN
language of caimness and dignity, de-
VOID throughout OF any tone of ottense or
vio.snce, the encyclical contains no at
tack whatever upon the civil government
OF Italy, nor any mention direct or in
direct OF the House OF Savoy.

SOUTHERN MEMORIAL DAY.
Letter Jefferson Davis.

MACON, GA, April 26.-In q letter to
the Memorial Association OF Macon, III
response to the invitation to deliver an
address, Jefferson Davis says:
Let not any of the survivors impugn
their faith by offering the penitential plea
that "they believed they were right"
Let posterity learn by this monument
that YOU commemorate the men who died
in defensive war. What they did not,
81 has been stated, submit to arbitrament
of arms the questions at issue, questions
involving in aliensble rights inherited
aud held in trus; for posterity, but they
strove for State sovereignty which their
fathers left them, and which 1t was their
duty if possible TO transmit to their chill
dren. Let this monument teach that hero
ism derives its luStre from the iustness OF
the cause in which it Is displayed, and
let it mark the difference between q
war waged for the robber-like
purpose of conquest and one
to repell invasion, to defend the
hearth and altar, and to maintain their
laws and liberties. Such was the war IN
which our heroes fell, and theirs is the
crown which sparkles with gems Of pa
triotism and righteousness, and with
glory undimmed by any motive OF ag-
grsndizament or intent to infiict ruin On
others, we present them to posterity as
examples to be followed, and wait se-
curely for the verdict Of mankind
when knowledge shall have disPellad
Misrepresentation and deluslon. 1t Is
not unreasonable to hope that mature re-
lection and closer study of the political
history of the Union may yet restore the
rights prostrated by the passions de.
veoped in our long and bloody war. If,
however, it should be otherwise, then
from our heroes graves shall come in
mournful tones the answer, 'JiIt;" and It
our children must obey they must, but
thinking IN our day, it will less debsse
them to submit. Yonrs faithfully,
Signed JEFFERSON DAVIS.
