proftshle session should be speedily ter.
An INSULT TO coNnRrss.

I
Mr.. Cox characterized the petition as an
insult 70 Congress, and said he objected to
the petition at the time, therefore Il should
not have been printed.
a long discussion ensued, Mr.. Cox In.
ststing that the petition should be struck
out oil the records and Mr.. Conger taking
ground that that would be improper and
that only q proper remedy was an ex.
Punging OF the petition by the action Of
he House, and In order to have that
action he insisted that the petition should
be read so he could know what he was
voting on.
The Speaker after quoting the precedents
10 support 10 his position stated that the
House had control over the record as
much as It had over the journal and he
would therefore submit the question 10 the
House. He intimated that II be had hfs
own will about II, he would let the petition
stay In the record for what Is was worth.
lfobjection TO the petition had been noted
oy the reporter and inserted In the report
he petition could not have been printed
IN face OF that objection therefore, the
correction OF the record by inserting the
objection would necessarily exclude the
petitions.
This discussion was protracted.
Finally question was submitted as 10
whether the record should be corrected
by the insertion Of the objection, the
Speaker stating that such correction would
necessarily exclude the petition, and me
correction was ordered.
The Speaker thereupon congratulated
the minority on the result, as Il was
great protection TO them.
The introduction and reference OF bills
was then proceeded with.
THE PRESIDENTS VETO CONES sAuSrEMSo IN.
At2:l6 p. ". message from the Presi.
dent was received, supposed TO be n veto
message Of the bill prohibiting military
Interference at the polls.
Mr.. warner moved 10 proceed with the
consideration oi the silver bill. Defeated
without division.
F. Wood IN. Y. hoped that the Presi.
dents message would be read at once.
Mr.. Dibrell moved TO suspend the rules
and pass the bill imposing q tax Of Q per
cent on excess Of incomes over 5000 and
8 per cent on excess OF incomes over
5000. Reiected-yeas l04, nays 94-not
the necessary two-thirds in the affirmative.
The Speaker then, at 2:5O P. NJ, laid be-
fore the House the Presidents veto Of the
military interference bill.
There was considerable applause on the
Republican side when the sentence was
read, which insists that the power Of the
Federal authority 10 employ troops when
necessary should not be interiered with,
and there was an incredulous sneer on
the Democratic side at the Presidents as
surance that he desired to act in harmo-
ny with Congress.
WHERE THE APPLAUSE CANE IN.
Thereupon the applause was repeated at
the reading Of the sentences relating to
President Jackson's crushing the nnlli-
tication, and TO Presirent Lincoln issuing
his call Tor troops to save the Union in
1881. Also at the allusion 10 the hostility
OF the state Governments, and again at the
suggestion that the bill was an intrusion Of
State supervision, amounting in spirit and
tendency to State supremacy.
at the conclusion Of the reading, Mr..
Knott offered resolution directing that
the, message be entered on the Journal,
and that the House will proceed to.mor.
row to consider the same. Agreed 10,
