Forty sixth Cong Session.
WASHINGTON, May 10, 1880.
SENATE.
The e:ident pro TEN. (Mr. Tburman)
laid before the Senate communication from
the Secretary Of the Interior, stating that his
estimate Of March 9Th for deficiencies for
arrears and army and navy pensions has
been found insufficient, and transmitting an
increased estimate OF the same.
Several petitions in favor Of the Eaton
tariff bill were presented, among them one
very numerously signed by New England
manufacturers, In Offering which Mr. Dawes
called attention TO the very large number OF
such petitions presented since the bill was
iNoraby reported from the Finance Com
miitee. He hoped the chairman Of that COM
mittce would seek to call up the bill out Of
its regular order to secure its passage. De-
mand was for Justice TO all interests, and
therefore for permanency. No class legis-
latiOn was asked for. There was manifest i'm
possibility in fully revising the tariff III
Committee Of the Whole Of the Senate. The
many fruitless attempts to thus barmoniZe
and satisfy the numerous class interests
bore out this statement. 4 commission
which could give the subject full and de-
libera,e consideration would alone give sat-
isfaction TO the manufacturing interests OF
the country, not now, as formerly, mainly
, confined to one section, but extending over
the whole country.
Mr.. Bayard, chairman OF the Finance
Committee, said the committee bad shown
their opinion OF the merits OF the bill In tie
best way open to tbem-namely, by report
! ing it promptly with favorable recommend
, dations. The last bill considered on the
calendar was No. 304. The tariff bill was
$40. IL was well known how slowly busl-
} ness on the calendar was disposed Of. and
yet how much opposition was always made
, to taking up out OF order bills that would
. evidently lead 10 debate. He, personally,
would use every effort to get the bill con-
! sidcred.
, Mr.. Platt believed there was widespread
. demand for the tariff commits on, and that
, there was disposition in tie Senate TO con-
slider it at an early day.
Mr.. Bayard said il possible he would call
the bill up in the morning tomorrow.
: Mr.. Garfield said he hoped the Eaton bill
would speedily come up, when he would
offer the bill be introduced two years ago
for II tariff commission bill, which differed
from Eaton's bill mainly in that the board
: OF commissioners should he composed
partly of members Of Congress.
Mr.. Beck wished it understood that the
report OF the Finance Committee was not
unanimous. He would oppose the bill to
advocate that OF Mr.. Garland.
On motion Of Mr.. Burnside the calendar
, was postponed, and House joint resolution
, relative to extending the national survey
into the States was taken up. The resolu-
ton wa. debated by Messrs. Dawes and
Booth.
Mr.. Jonas presented a petition from the
Chamber of Commerce and Cotton Exchange
OF New Orleans, urging Congress to take
under its control and supervision not only
the levees, but also the currents and waters
i of the Mississippi river.
n Pending the debate on this resOlu
= ton the morning hour expired and Mr..
Hoar proceeded TO oppose the resolution
D occupied by Kellogg.
! Mr.. Hill, OF Georgia. took the floor but
/. Welded to other senators, and will speak TO.
D morrow.
The conference report on the diplomatic
and consular appropriation bill was pre-
, scented by M. Eaton and adopted.
. The Senate then went In executive session
, and when the doors were re0pened ad
iourned.
