RESUMPTION.
ANIMATED TALK.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 22,-Thc House hal
very animated session, and the Democrat
| made record which will stop them from dc
claring that they have not been opposed to pro
ceeding with the Appropriation bills. The Re
publlcans twice sought to take up the Iegislativ,
| Appropriation bill. and were voted down eaci
time BY the Democrats. A record vote wa
taken which showed that the division was along
the party line. The objective point OF the Dem
! ocrats was to go to the Speakers table,. or
der that they might take action on the Senate
amendments to the Tobacco Reduction hill.
In this they were successful. After
q protracted parliamentary struggle the
Speakers table was reached, but it happened
that almost the first bill upon the table was the
original House bill of last session TO repeal the
Resumption act, with the Senate amendment in
the nature Of substitute, authorizing the re-
cepti0n of legal tenders for customs dues. The
subject came back upon the House
LIKE FORGOTTEN GHOST,
and the debate was the echo outy on greenbac1z
and imitation babbling Of Congresses from 1he
Forty-third until now. The House showed that
events hare taught the majority q lesson in
financial wisdom which the two-thirds vote by
