Referred 10 select committee on the sub
ject
Mr. Eaton, from the Committee on Appro.
priations, reported favorably on the
bill appropriating S250,0O0 for pub.
lie printing, and said no
had intended to ask for its present consider
alton, but understanding that the Senator
from Minnesota, (Windom) intended to Of.
for certain amendments no would not ask II.
He would prefer not to have any public
printing rather than TO renew the tight over
the MarshaPs appropriation. t
Mr.. Edmunds asked for the present con-
sideration of the bill, and 1t was taken up.
Mr.. Window offered an amendment. ap-
propriating 5000 900 TO nav Marshals and
their IDENTITIES. This was opposed by Messrs,
Eaton. Davis. of West Virginia. Salisbury
and Blaine, and advocated BY
Messrs. Edmunds, Conkling and Window,
the latter, referring 10 the closing of tho
United States court in New York, and say
ing the amendment provided for was neces-
sary. The President pro tenn, Mr.. Thur
man, decided on the point Of order that the
amendment was in order, this not being IA
general appropriation bill.
During the debate on Mr., WINDOWS
amendment Mr.. Salisbury said, the Pres-
dent having shown m unwillingness to sign
bills having riders, he wos obliged to vote
against the proposed amendment
Mr. Edmunds understood that the Presi-
dents objection was TO riders making new
laws ms TO the condition upon
which Congress would vote
money TO conduct the government. This
amendment wns not such rider II merely
provided foreSpenses already incurred under
the existing laws. The United States court
In New York had closed already, aud
unless the money vas soon appropriated the
President might be- Obliged to say
to all those connected with the
administration Of justice, that Con-
gress having evinced an unwillingness to APP
propriate money to carry on tina, adnin'slra-
ton, they must stop operations
Mr.. Eaton said if the / resident ever said
that. he would say what was untrue. Cos.
gress was alwnys ready To vote money to
carry on the government, bat they proposed
TO do it in their own proper way and not be
lec,ured like school CHILDREN in the way they
should do their duty.
Mr.. Bailey thought the amendment pre-.
mature, rs the Presidents objection was only
as to the form of legislation and not is sub.
stance. Thg House would probably, having
sespecl to is legislative rights and privileges,
pass the bill over the veto.
Mr. Window said il the bill itself was not
premature his amendment was not, for il
provided for service more important than
the printing service, which was simply mat
tor Of convenience.
Mr. Coke said the Senate
had a right TO consider
other reasons than those mentioned by the
President in his veto, which they should vote
against passing the bill over his veto.
There was further debate OF similar
character, after which the Window amend
ment was rejected bya party vote and the
bill passed without division.
subsequently, MIR. Bayard introduced a
bill regulating the pay and appointment OF
special Deputy Marshals, which was referred
to the Judiciary committee,
Mr.. Coke, from the Commerce committee
reported favorably bill aboishing all tolls
at tae Louisville II Portland canal. Placed

Dir. Butler presented memorial from the
Charleston Medical college, favoring the bill
increasing the efficiency OF the marine hos
pital service.
Mr.. Kirkwood, from the Postothce COM
mittee, reported favorably on the bill author
izing the Postmaster General to treat the
mail service between East St. Louis and st.
Louis as other than railway service, and lot
it TO the lowest bidder. Placed On the
calendar.
