seven Senators be appointed by the chair
and charged with the duty OF enquiring
as to the expediency and practicability of
encouraging and promoting, by all Just and
proper methods possible, the emigration of
colored persons from those States ud Con-
gressional districts, where they are not al
lowed to freely and peacefully exercise
their constitutional right as American citi
zens, into such States as may desire to re-
ceive them and will protect them in said

in the United States as may be provided

Laid on the table for the present, at the
request OF Mr.. Window, and he gave notice
that he will call it up and submit some re-
marks.
Mr.. DORSEY submitted a resolution
calling.upon the Secretary OF the Treasury
for statement OF all appropriations aud
expenditures from the National Treasury
for the purpose of paying the EXPENSES Of
the Indian Department from July lst, 1890
to June 80. 1873. Agreed to.
Mr THURMAN, from the Committee on
Judiciary, reported, with amendments, to
the Senate, the bill to extend the operation
of the act OF February 9th, 1875, to pro-
vide for settlements with certain railroad
companies, for one year. Placed on the cal
endar. Ii refers to the various Southern
roads.
The House bill providing for the payment
of arrears of pensions was taken up ON mo-
ton Of Mr. Ingalls,.
Mr.. HERMAN favored the bill.
Pending the discussion the morning hour
expired and by unanimous consent the bill
was considered as unfinished business
The bill to amend the patent laws was
laid aside informally that the Senate might
continue with the bill granting arear- of
pensions.
Considerable discussion ensued and a
number of amendments were offered which
were rejected
Mr.. MORRILL, said the passage Of the
bill would impose additional burdens on
the treasury. The expenses of the Govern
ment were greater during the last six
months than they were during the Cores
pondins months of 1877, and should this
pension bill be passed there would he de-
felt in our revenues this year. The Senate
ought to provide for the trea7ury issIin.
bonds to meet the burden.
Mr.. SALISBURY thought the bill WIS
one of doubtful propriety, at least he would
do no injustice to the soldiers, but the gov
eminent had been liberal 10 its soldiers and
this bill proposed to give them a mere gra-
tuity thirteen years after the war. Every
person entitled to pension had received
one, and while the government WAS gener-
GUS to its soldiers it should be Just to the
people who had been taxed beyond the peo-
pie of any other country on the face OF the
earth. He thought the government mad
provided for the soldier and he now desired
dens of the people.
