the pension office by the resignation,
death, removal or expiration or by failure
to qualify, the President may, when public
exigency requires, designate any United
States officer to perform the duties of such
office under bond for period lot over
twenty days.
Mr.. Sargent submitted an amendment
authorizing the secretary of the interior to
allow such officer the necessary funds.
After some legal discussion, Mr., Iugalls
said he understood the animus of this dis
cussion. Had he been President and a
pension agent failed to give bonds he
would have nominated another.
Mr.. Blaine said the bill was merely an
attemptto extend the time for an agent to
procure bonds, There were many men in
New York of either party who could give
the quarter million bond 10 twenty four
hours. Here was an agent appointed
under the highest possible standard of civil
service reform who had been hawking
around New York for months and could
not give bonds, and now Mr.. Iugalls wanted
to extend his time,
Mr.. Kernan appealed to the senators. to
pass the bill and not let the poor pension
ers go hungry.
Mr., Hoar favored the bill,
Mr.. Eaton SAID if the President did his
duty there would be a new man appointed
qualified and be confirmed before the end
of the week.
Mr. Withers also argued that the bill
should pass
Mr. Conkling said il was most pleasing
to see Mr.. Withers iD rushing to the de-
fence of the President and the pensioners.
Were this not the senate chamber he
would say this talk about poor pensioners
was humbug A matter of two hours
was not one of extreme wringiDe of hearts.
The law should not be violated by passing
this bill. He knew Gen. Costor could, if
necessary, make his bond in twenty four
hours. He denied that he had arraigned
the President, and when he intended to do
so it would be in no doubtful tone, but
openly.
Mr.. Ingalls, censured Mr.. Conkling ard
defended himself as chairman of the pen
slOns committee.
Withers did the same.
Mr.. Sargent's amendment to the bill
passed. Yeas As. nays s,
Mr., Edmunds called up the house bill to
authorize a special term of the circuit
court O: the United States for the 18th
district of Mississippi, to be held at Scran-
ton, Jackson county, with the understand
| ing that it should be considered tomorrow,
subject to a call for the regular order,

the case of the suit against ex-Gauger
Cullerton's bond, brought by the gov
ernment to recover the amount of DAM
ages caused by irregularities OH the
part of Cullerton as Gauger, Judge
Blodgett decided that the Presidential
pardon of Cullerton covered this case
and that the bondsmen were notliable.
This was at variance with Judge Drum
mond's ruling on a similar point, and
as the question involved cases of cx-
Gaugers Hildreth and Waterman, the
United States District Attorney laid
the matter before Attorney-General
Devens. Instructions were received
to-day that the case be appealed from
Judge Blodgett to the United States
Supreme Court, and District Attorney
Bangs will accordingly carry it up.

very important, not only i'll point OF

The claim called for about S405, 900.
The bill reported by Representative,

to prevent unjust discrimination as tc
freight charges and facilities by railroads
