XIV CONGRESS.
SENATE.
WASHINGTON, Mare

WASHINGTON, March 3.
When a motion to reconsider the
bill making an appropriation to pay
the arrears of pensions was agreed
to Mr.. Hoar offered an amend
ment that no pension shall ever be
paid under this act to Jefferson
Davis, late President of the so
called Southern Confederacy. Mr..
Hoar said that the name in his pro-
viso had not been singled out by
any selection of his own or from
any person who agreed with him
politically. The name had been
selected by Mr.. Davis himself, by
his own act, in a marked and con-
spicuous character, by an attack on
the life of the country which had
educated him. That gentleman had
never given utterance to an express
sion of regret for such attack, nor
had he followed the example of so
many of his associates, by asking
Congress to remove his political dis
abilities. He spurned the clemency
of the Republic to-day. 1t was
now proposed to put the name of
this person, whose treason had not
been repented of, on the pension
rolls of the country, and to tax
loyal widows and orphans to pay
the pension.
Mr.. Garland said he did not
know what motive the Senator from
Massachusetts, had in introducing
this amendment, but it was a curious
spectacle to exhibit to the Ameri-
can people at this late hour of the
day. While the Government pen
sions Longstreet by a small post
office in Georgia, and a Republican
administration sent Gov. Orr as
Minister to Russia, and Gen. MosbY,
who boasted that he was the Marion
of the second war, to China as Con
sui, he felt satisfied that Jefferson
Davis would scorn a pension. That
gentlemen did not ask it. He had
served under Mr.. Davis in a civil
capacity. Mr.. Davis was a gallant
soldier in the Mexican war. His
services were on record, and al
though they did not surpass, they
equaled those of Greece and Rome.
Mr.. Shields took different view
from both sides. He thought that
by singing out Jefferson Davis
from ten millions of people in the
South was giving him distinction

HoUsE-A bill to provide for the

duced. A petition from the Trus-

Mr.. Watkins offered the following
resolution, which lies over:
"WHEREAs, An effort has been
made to create an impression that
the present General Assembly is in
favor of repudiating the State debt,
and as no action has been taken by
this body looking to reputation or
to a settlement of the State debt,
except to appoint Committee Of
Investigation, and as we believe that
no part of an unjust debt ought to
be imposed upon the people for pay
ment, therefore,
ResOlUed, That we are opposed to
reputation in any form VS. satever,
but are opposed to imposing upon
the people the payment of any part
of an unjust or fraudulent debt.
He also introduced a bill to sub
NIT to the people whether they will
pay so cents and 4 per cent. inter
est, or 33B cents and the same in

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, March 3.-The
Conference Committee on the Sun
dry Civil Appropriation bill has
agreed upon compromise which
will shortly be reported to the two
houses. The Postofice bill will, it
is understood, be agreed on-the
Senate surrending the Brazilian
mail service and the readjustment
of the compensation to railroads,
and consenting to the notifications
of the provisions for the re-classifca-
ton of mail matter, striking out of
it its more stringent features.
The second conferees on the Leg
i8lative bill have not yet come to~
gether.
An agreement has been reached
in the conference on the Fortifca-
ton bill, the Senate yielding its
amendments. The conferees on the
Deficiency bill have also arrived at
an understanding. The clause
making an appropriation for the
pay due Supervisors is reduced to
$4,000.
The Senate having stricken out
the Shields amendment to. the
Arrears Pension bill, no trouble
with it in conference is anticipated.
The Army and the Legislative Ap-
preparation bills are the only ones
now likely to fail.
The President sent the following
nominations to the Senate to-day :
Louis A, Barnes, to be Register Of
Land Office at Gainesville, Fla;
Sam'I. Riddell, Postmaster at Fer~
nandina, Fla.
The Senate to-day confirmed the

WE received yesterday in our Sun
days press dispatches a pretty full
synopsis of the report of the majority
of the Potter Committee. OF course
the conclusion is that Tilden was
elected and Hays was fraudulently
seated. The Democrats are very much
pleased with the report as prepared
by Mr.. Potter, and speak of it as an
able presentation of the facts and the
pOists in the question at issue. The
final conclusion of the report is that
the vote of Florida and Louisiana was
wrongfully given to Hays, and that
Noyes, Sherman and others eucour-
aged this result; that the second GER
tificats from Louisiana was a forgery
as to tU-o of its names, Kellogg and
Clark being privy to it: and that Til
den and Hendricks received a MAORI
ty OF the true Electoral vote, and were
the choice of a majority of the people
Of the United States at the last Presi-
dential election.
