You need not tell them they were

Tell them we will duplicate the gar

SENATE
Washington, May 15.-The president pro
tenn presented the presidents reply to the
resolution regarding the unlawful occupation
of the Indian territory, and it was placed on
file.
On motion of Mr.. Ingalls, the secretary of
the treasury was directed to report how
much legal tender has been presented and
redeemed in coin since January LIST, and how
much coin he considered himself bound to
retain in the treasury for resumption.
Consideration was resumed Of the legisla-
tive appropriation bill.
Mr.. Eaton, speaking on the appropriation
bill, defended his former assertion that this
is confederacy of states. The war did not
change the government, nor abolish slavery.
The emancipation proclamation did not free
the slaves; it required the Independent &C.
tion Of certain number Of sovereign state.
to work those charges in the government Of
this confederacy Of states. The late struggle
Of war OF sections, and the present reckless
denunciation of southern men was unwise
and wrong. Let the past bury it own dead,
and 60 on as brothers.
Mr.. Frye, from the committee on rules
reported resolution for standing commit.
tee to which all bills regarding traffic in
alcoholic liquors shall be referred.
I. Wood objected that this committee
might, under the plea of morality. interfere
with government revenues.
Fry and Stephens advocated and Reacen
opposed the resolution on the ground of
unconstitutionality. Garfield adj dvocated the
resolution and demon strated its constitu-
tionality. Congress could not regulate
morals, but 1t was fair matter for consi-
deration whether morals might not regulate
congress in Ievying taxes. Blount opposed
the resolution as being engineered by q
class of people who eternally wanted to
regulate other people. Knott consiaered it
mischievOus precedent for other sumpt-
uary laws. Finally an agreement in regard
to the resolution was made by Conger, who
said he would demand vote by yeas and
nays so as to have members on record on
this subject. A motion to lay the resolu-
tton on the table was made by Blount and
the motion was rejected, yeas 90, nays 1873.
All OF the affirmative votes came from the
democratic side-all the republicans, and
all the greenbackers and many democrats
voting NO.
The resolution was then agreed to.
