The Douglas independent. [volume] (Roseburg, Or.) 187?-1885, 1879-07-05

that its further consideration should be
postponed until next December, with
the understanding, however, that the
bill and amendments are then to be re-
ported to the senate as soon as practl-
cable. The principal amendment adopt
ed to-day provides that the exchange of
the legal tender dollars for trade dollars
shall be at the market value of the latter,
regarded as bullion and not s. at par, as
provided by the house bill. The COM
mittee also struck out the house pro-
yiso that trade dollars, recoined under
this act, shall not be counted as part of
the coinage of silver required by act of
FEBRUARY %, 1878. The vote on the ques-
ton of adopting these amendments, and
also on postponing the report until next
December, was as follows: Yeas bay
ard, Herman, Morrill, and Ferry; nays
Wallace, Voorhees, and Beck. The OBJ
ject in not reporting the bill this session
is to preclude the possibility of the War
ner silver bill being moved as On amend
ment in the senate, with the result of
prolonging the session.
The stiekang Point.
WASHINGTON, June 28,-The story of
an alleged bargain for the votes of IA or
10 southern. representatives to procure
the passage of the marshals appropria-
ton bill without riders, which was quot
ed but discredited on the streets last
night, has been entirely exloloded to-day.
A careful inquiry proves also that there
is no prospect of break in the Demo-
cratic ranks upon this question for any
cause or in any contingency likely to
arise. The Democrats in both branches
of congress appear to be unanimous in
favor not only of adjourning as soon as
veto is received, but of adjournlng i'm
mediately after the possible call. Even
such conservative Democrats as Alex II.
Stephens now unite with the rest of the
party in open expressions of this deter
mination. Stephens said to-day with
reference to the marshals appropriation
bill: :" I am for sending it to the presi-
dent as often as ae calls US together with
out dotting an or crossing a T, and I
am willing to sit here and do that until
the 46th congress expires. He added
that he did not know single democrat
in the house who could not be relied up
on to fight out this controversy to the
end. Senator Ben Hill, who has been
one of the most conservative counsellors
in all the democratic caucuses heretofore
held this session, asserts positively that
no southern democrat will make any fur
ther concession. The chairman, Atkins.
says: $ shall not report the bill again,
In fact shall not call meeting of the
committee on,appropriations until next
December unless congress gets into gen
eral legislation. In that event we will
not report any other bill in regard to
marshals. " It is therefore evident that
the dominant party has reached the stick
ing point, and later dispatch to night
may very possibly convey to your readers
information that in view of this firm de-
termination, President Hayes has con-
cluded to abandon all purposes of call
ing another extra session. There proba-
bly, will be less than q quorum in the
house of representatives to morrow, and
the senate committee on appropriations
will doubtless recommend concurrence
In house adjournment resolutions with
out amendments, as any change in the
time proposed, namely o'clock to-mor-
row afternoon, would require concur
renee of quorum of the house. Action
by the senate upon this resolution can,
however, be prevented by single obiec-
ton after it is reported back from COM
mittee to morrow, and In this event no
final adjournment con be effected before
Tuesday.
Hayes Ac.iop.
The president in determining to recall
congress Immediately, does it to make
sure that the passage of caucus bill No.
2 Is the sober judgment of the majority.
II congress adiourns early enough in the
day the president will call them back
the same day. The main object of the
recall is based upon belief that the ma
lority in congress is really desirous of
passing unrestricted bills, and that by
sending this bill back an unrestricted
one will be passed by conservative demo-
Gratis and republicans
1t can be stated authoritativelv that
the presidents inclination is to recon
vene congress by proclamation should
adjournment occur without the appropria-
tlon for marshals being made.
WASHINGTON, June 29.-There seems
to be no doubt that the judicial appro-
priation bill will receive the presidents
signature. The bill for the payment OF
q. S. Marshals, etc., will be vetoed. The
message will be short.
