HOUSE

Ar. Sparks introduced the Army Appropriation
bill He stated it was substantially the bill which
passed the last House, with the reorganization
features stricken out. 1t retained the clause pro-
hibhng the use of troops at the polls. The bill
was referred TO the Committee Of the Whole, and
the House went into Committee,
A motion to reduce the army to 1900 men was
rejected-5S TO 119.
The provision allowing the deficiency in one
item Of an appropriation for pay to be made up
from excess in any other item under the same
general head, was stricken out. Opposition came
from both sides, the provision being regarded as
a violation of existing law and dangerous author
ity to be conferred on the department
The provision in regard TO Railroad Com.
panies doing general business passed without dis
CussiOn.
Mr. Regan moved to strike out the provision In
regard to appropriations for regular supplies, /"
Incidental expenses" barracks and quarters"
and army transportation"
Mr., McCook suggested the difficulty that might
arise if riots should suddenly break out in some
quarters and If the President, in reply to call
even from Democratic Governors, should send
troops there is no provision made for the expense
Of such transportation Of troops.
Alter discussion, the provision was stricken out,
all Democrats and some Republicans voting III the
affirmative.
Section 6 relative to the use of troops at the
polls having been reached, was passed over for
the present
The section authorizing the Secretary Of War to
issue small arms, &c, to any College or University
which might desire them, and which has $50 male
students, was stricken out
The Committee then rose, having disposed of
all but two or three ordinary provisions OF the
bill.

ly is. There has been great saving In
all the institutions. AS regards the pen

was only the result OF a quarrel between

to do with its management. AS the men
could not get along amicably, the Board
thought it best to discharge them both.

VETERAN employees OF THE U,
s. SENATE.


There are now in the employ of the
Senate four men who were appointed
when the Democrats had control of that
body before 1861 and have been retain
ed by the Republicans because of their
efficiency. One Of the number is Isaac
Bassett, the venerable white haired and
whiskered Assistant ant.at-Arms,
who sits at the left of the Vice President
during the sessions of the Senate. He
has been promoted gradually for the last
fifty-two years until now, at the age of
sixty nine, he holds the next Office in
honor to the Sergeant.at-Arms. He is
the custodian of the Senate Chamber
and has charge of the pages Bassett is
a very remarkable man, and from his pc
caliar position has had an opportunity to
know intimately more Of the great men
who served in the Senate than any liv-
ing man. He is writing book of remi-
nisCences. The others are William John
ston, doorkeeper; c. S. Draper, door
keeper, and H. st. John, a messenger.
All are old men, and Johnston, like Bas.
sett, is venerable In appearance. There
are several other men who have been in
the services of the Senate for long time
and whose places it would be difficult
and almost impossible to fill. Ole of
these is Anzi Smith, who has grown up
from a boy in the document room, and
who can turn alta moments notice to any
document that has been printed for the
last fifty years. His memory is phenom'
enal, and no one could possibly secure
the facility he has for performing the du-
ties of his Office Another man is c. C.
SIMPSON, the enrolling clerk. He has
been in this position, which is as impor.
tant as any in the Senate, for eighteen
years, and it is matter of great pride
with him that, in all the confusion Of the
closing hours of twenty-one sessions of
Congress he has never made a mistake
