This was done, but the Chair Mr., Thurman
ruled that they were not disorderly, and Mr..
| Chandler proceeded in the same ven.
He said the Democrats now have their day
In court, bat their time was short. The peo-
ple,had taken this matter in hand, and mene,
meme. teltei upharsfa, was written all over the
brow of the Democratic party.
The bill was then read third time and
passed-yeas 33, nays %.
Mr.. Beck called up the legislative appro-
priation bill as the pending order for to-mor-
row, and at SO p. m. the Senate adjourned.
THE HOUSE.
The regular order having been demanded,
the Speaker called the committees for reports
OF a private nature.
Mr. Knott. Of Kentucky, from the judi
ciary Committee, reported bills to remove
the political disabilities Of John r.. Waddy
nd James Ell. North, Of Virginia, and OF Gen.
| J. C. Pemberton, now Of Philadelphia, and
they we're passed by the necessary thirds
votes.
IN discussing the amnesty bills above, Mr..
Cox, of New York, hoped that the Judiciary
COMMITTEES would stop reporting these indi-
vidual bills and would report one for gem
eral amnesty which would include every
one He wanted all distinction wiped out, es-
pecially as fourteen years had elapsed since
the so-called rebellion. IISeornfu laughter
on the Republican side.l Rebellion so.ealled
stop these individual bills and bring in d gen
eral bill as q movement OIL grace, justice
and amnesty He would also wipe out the
test oath, for he thought it q remarkable
thing that gentlemen who had never been ~
the rebellion should take the test oath, while
others had to take only an oath to support
the constitution OF the United States.
Mr. Conger said it was the first time that
the gentleman from New York seemed to COM
plain that he could take the test oath and
others could not do 50. He complains that he
can take an oath that he was true and loyal.
There was nothing to compel the gentleman
to swear that he was true and loyal citizen.
He may take another oath il this offends him
so much.
Mr. Cox of New York, from the Committee
on Foreign Affairs, reported a bill to compen-
safe e. E. Rice, late consul at Japan. for the
| sum OF $3.50 for property transferred TO the
United States In Hakadadi. The bill was sent
to the committee of the whole, and the House
subsequently, went into committee and
passed 1t.
A motion that when the House adjourn it
be until Monday next was relected-S4 yeas
to 1873 nays.
The House then resumed consideration OF
the free coinage bill.
Mr.. Weaver, of Iowa, made a speech in
favor of the bill and reviewed the history OF
silver legislation here and In other countries.
He denounced the bond system and referring
to the exchange Of 6 per cent bonds for per
cent, he said the impression was at first that
the people who exchanged 8 per cent bonds
! for / per cents bonds did 50 from patriotic
motives and love of the people, but after a
while the cloven foot crept out and 1t can not
be covered up. That clOven foot was that
| interest on the per cent bonds Was pay
able semi-annually, while that OF the per
cents was payable quarterly, and after col
lectiDg his interest the bondholder could put
| it out at further interest, and he thus got
more out Of the per cents than out Of the 8
per cents, for he turned over his money Oftener.
/ He denounced the national bank system also
as robbery Of the people. and the legisla-
! ture of the country had made them perpetual
| Mr.. Sapp, Of Iowa, called attention to the
! fact that all the national bank charters ex-
pired by Limitation IN twenty years.
| Mr.. Weaver replied that there was nothing
to prevent a renewal OF the charters and the
establishment Of new banks day after day,
and bonds were necessity to the establish
ment Of the banks. Mr. Weaver then alluded
| to the manner in which the Greenback party
had been treated and misrepresented in the
consideration Of these questions. he denied
| that the Greenback party was an Imitation
party. They wanted money issued by the
government and not by corporations
planned of had come from the Democratic
side of the House. Laughter on the Repub-
| licfn side, and cries "Of course not.
Mr. Weaver said it had not, and In spite OF
abuse he wanted to notify gentlemen that the
Greenback party had come to stay. Refer
ring to Mr.. Chttendens speech yesterday, he
said that as q piece OF wit and sarcasm 1t
was q success, but there was not single &C.
gument in 1t. II gentlemen wanted to dis
cuss the question in logical way the Green
hackers would meet them. but they were not
scared, no matter how much abuse might be
heaped on them. In conclusion, he referred
to the election in California as victory for
the labOring men.
Mr. Hplman, Of Indiana made a speech in
opposition to the bill, arguing that it was
dishonest measure, a cheat and nothing else.
The House then, at 4 Is p m, adjourned.
