Inc senate was not In session to-day.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
The House met at IL o'clock in continue
ton OF Fridays session, aud Immediately
went into Committee OF the Whole on the
army appropriation bin.
Mr. Sparks, Of Illinois. called attention
to M article in the Chicago Inter- Ocean,
containing an account OF the interview with
President Hayes by Mr.. Davis. oi Chicago.
in which the latter gave assurance that the
President would stand firmly by the Re-
publicans; that he had waited upon the
President as requested, and that there Is no
reason to believe that the President will
diSappoint the loyal people OF the country.
For himself (Davs), lie was " enlisted for
the war;
Mr. Sparks went on to say that 1t seemed
that the President seemed to have some
special disease which rendered it necessary
for the Democrats to warn members OF his
party 10 cure it. He asked fair-minded men
to read the articles published in the great
metropolitan journal Of the Northwest, and
say whether there was not an effort made
there to cocrce the President into extreme
measures Of the extreme members Of his
party; and yet in spite OF oil that the city
OF Chicago has just given 4 Democratic ma
ioruy OF 1882 to Carter Harrison ('our
J.
characterized by the Chicago Inter- Ocean as
"yictory for Democrats and bowling
rebels" TLaughter.] In place OF putting
strength into the Presidents backbone, all
the marrow and stiffness had been taken out
OF the Republicans. That Democratic VIC
tory in Chicago was the first popular re-
Spouse from Republican city, and il was
startling in It's character.
Mr.. C&swelI, OF Wisconsin. reminded Mr..
| Sparks that on the same Gay Wisconsin had
given an increased Republican maj ority OF
over 5000. TO that Bragg, OF Wisconsin, re-
spondeG in manner that elected loud APP
p!ause from the Democratic side. Then
Chittcnder, Of New York, made an impas-
stoned speech, snccrng at the Grecnbackcrs
and telling the Democrats that their present
policy was in favor OF desperate buldozcrs
and blacklcgs ut the polls.
The amendment offered yesterday by Mr..
New, OF Indiana, that the appeal shall not
abridgc or affect the right and duty Of the
Executive to respond 10 the call Of State
Legislature or Governor, was agreed to by
vote of 50 to 4; the Republicans refrain
ing from voting on either side.
Mr.. Lowe, OF Alabama, moved to strike
out section from the bill. and Mr.. Congcr,
OF Michigan, suggested TO the other side Of
|
would aid them in passing Immediately,
without debate, 4 separate bill! repeating
entirely the So-calied Objectionable sections
OF the statutes.
Mr.. McMalon, Of Ohio, speaking for him
self, rcpudiatcd tie proposition.
In the course OF tae de bate Mr.. Cox, OF
New York, stated that he had in the EcmC-
cratic councils favored the repeal Of the
obnoxious measures in an independent bill,
but that he had Leen oyerruIcd, and that he
| had acuucSccd in the superior wisdom but
not the superior experience OF others. He
| expected that ii the President vetoed the
bill the Senate would send to the House re-
peal bills pure and simple, and then there
would be chance OF testing the sincerity
OF the Republican side.
! The Bordcr-Rutiian " history OF Kansas
was revived IN the speeches by Mcssrs.
Aiken. OF South Carolina, and Haskell, OF
! Kansas.
After several amendments had been cGer-
| ed and rcicc'cd the committee arose and re-

pealug sections.
