WAsHIx6ToN Dec 2.-The second day of the
session did not pass without an attempt in the
House by Southern Representatives TO pass South
ern claims upon the National Treasury.
Southern member brought forward bill 10
refer a cotton claim larising out of seizure made IN
Mississippi in 1861 to the Court of Claims, and to
extend the jurisdiction of the Court TO cover this
particular case. The same member asked that the
bill be referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
Mr. Cunger of Michigan. moved to amend by send
ing the bill to the Committee on War Claims where
Il properly belongs. On this motion the first yea

votes of Messrs Bicknell and New. of Indiana. and
two or three more Northern Democrats. number
of the Democrats from the North lodged the vote
beinq unwilling TO offend their Southern allies by
mn Affirmative or their constituents by negative

The intent of the bill is to make precedent by
yirtue of which war claims may be sent to the
Court of Claims and adjudicated without reference

statute of limitations.
Soon after the above proceeding Mr.. Harris, OF

TWO RESOLUTIONS ON FINANCE.

SOME OF THE REPUBLICANS FROM THE WEST SAID TO
BE OPPOSED TO FINANCIAL LEGISLATION OF ANY
SORT AT THIS sEssION-AN EXPRESSION OF THIS
FEELING IL THE HOUSE.
lBY TELEGRAPH THE TRBUNEl
WASHINGTON Dec. 2-In the House to-day reso-
utlOns relating to the currency were offered by Mr.
Price, of Iowa, and Mr.. Fort. of Illinois. These
resolutions were aimed at the recommendations by
the Secretary of the Treasury that the coinage of
the silver dollars he suspended, and that the legal
tender character of the greenbacks be destroyed
Both resolutions declared it to be the sense OF the
House that no legislation affecting the currency
should be enacted at the present session.
While almost all of the Republicans felt
that it was q mistake to bring forward the reso-
lutions this morning, when there possibility
of getting vote on them, 1t is pretty certain that
n great many possibly majority, of the Western
Republican Representatives approve the substance
of the resolutions. Several Ohio Representatives,
among whom are Mr.. Monroe and General Keifer,
expressed themselves so to-day after the adj
journment. One Ohio Republican who has been an
ardent Sherman man. remarked that the Secretary
had greatly disappointed him.
A good many Democrats profess to hold the same
opinion as MeSsrs Price and Fort but 1t Is impossi-
BILE to tell until vote is taken how many OF the lat
ter will adhere to their professions.
An impression appears to be gaming Strength
among the leading men on both sides OF the
House that while there will be good deal OF talk
on financial subjects this session, there will be
nothing done except perhaps to carry out the rec
Ommendation of Secretary sherman In regard to
reiunding operations.
NEW POINT FOR GENERAL WALKER.
TnREE-FITTHs OF THE COTTON CROP SAID TO HAVE
BEEN RAISED THIS YEAR BY WHITE MEN-A
SUGGESTION BY MT. MANNING.
lBY TELEGRAPH THE TRIBUHEl
WASHINGTON Dec. 2.-The Secretary of the Emil
grant Aid Society here has just received infoma-
ton that another large party of coored people has
arrived here from North Carolina. The party is on
its way westward.
Several Southern Representatives have lately in
terested themselves in the question to what pro-
portion of this years cotton crop was raised by
white labor. Mr.. Manning. of Mississippi, says
that he has collected number of facts on the sub
ject, and he thinks they justify him in asserting
that three-fifths of the cotton crop of 1879 were
produced by free white labor. He has called the
attention of General Walker to the matter, and has
urged that the census schedules be made to embrace
inquiries in relation to IT.
Mr.. Mannng's theory is that white immigration
from Europe and from the Northern States will be-
gin to flow into the Cotton States as soon as 1T Is
demonstrated by statistics that white men can raise
cotton by their own labor If such Immigration
can be brought about Mr.. Manning says the
Southern people will no longer oppose the exodus OF
the freedmen and he contends that this would
dispose of the negro question forever by elm
mating the coloied people as separate factor from
politics.
