The Office of DOOrkeeper Declared Va

Mr. Butler introduced a bin to supply con-
venient currency with which the minor BUSH
ness transactions of the people may be done.
Referred. 1t provides for the issuing of % and
% cents IN fractional currency, and that any
person paying iutO the treasury legal tender
notes or coin should receive such an amount
OF fractional currency rs he may desire, and
directs the secretary of the treasury to pay out
one-siXth OF all payments made from the treas

ton OF tina majority censuring Polk for EN-

matter to the committee civil 81 rvicts re-
form, with Instructions to ascertain what
change may be necessary for the more econo-
mic administration Of the business of the
doorkeeper's department..
Mr.. Baker OF Indiana spoke in favor of the
majority resolution.
MIR. Hale said that the case of the doOrkeeper
sank into insign fcance compared with the
radical incompetency OF the democratic party
TO administer any branch of the government.
FaIstan as a soldier, Bolton, as a lover Dun-
dreary as philosopher, Mulberry Sellers as a
capitalist cut no such figure as the democratic
party cut masquerading before the country
as civil service reformers, and as being capable
OF administering any branch of the govern
ment no matter now S1nall.
Mr. Baker of New York said he would like
to offer an amendment directing the door
keeper in his future appointments to Disregard
the solicitation of democratic members.
The resolution offered by Mr.. Eden as substi-
tinted for the report of the committee was
jecfed-yeas, 80; nays. I35.

ported by the committee as follows:

Resolved, That until the appointment of a

hereby are devolved upon the sergeant-at-
