Washington. Jan 19-'Fhe bill report
ed fuvorably from the Judiciary commit
tee to relieve Richard Fatherly of Arkan-
sas, from political disabilities ELECTED
much criticism from the house, and Mr..
Edmnnds said that Fathcrly set fourth
no offence bringing him within the scope
of constitutional prohibition, but had
triiled with congress by saying that he
had held and resigned the Office OF mill
tary store keeper Mt the beginning of
the war.
Mr.. Garland said that under the hell
broth of reconstruction Fatharly's stores
were seized aud he was not allowed to
vote. He had therefore sought relief.
Mr.. Elmunds discIaimed any inten-
ton of trying to hold Garland response
BILE for pcculiarities of the petition.
On final passage the bill WAS defeated,
Washington, Jan. l9.-After short
personal explanation by MIR. Price, the
funding bill came up as unfinished b,,si-
ness.
Mr.. Gillette made point that Mr..
Newberry had stated that he had gone
to the national bank of which he was
director and inquired how he should
vote and had no right to vote Oh this
question. He also made Il point us to
the matter that. duly debated, had dc
veloped the fact that this was really q
national bank bill.
Mr.. Newberry said he was
glad the point had been raised,
as it involved not only this
vote but every vote on every
question under Mr.. Gillette's construc-
ton. No man who used tobacco could
vote on the proposition to take the tax
off of tobacco; no rule could deprive any
member of his vote.
Mr.. Weaver said he would broaden the
point so as toTinclude every member who
held national bank stocks.
Mr.. Haskell objected to including the
greenbackcrs who were all interested in
keeping up the national bank agitation.
The char overruled the point on the
ground that there was no precedent
for dcpriving any member OF the right
to represent his constituency. He did
not believe the house had that right.
Mr.. Gillette appealed bya vote Of 220
to 81. The appeal was tabled.
The amendments made by the COM
mittee on the whole on the funding bill
was then considered.
The three per cent rate was agreed to
149 to lO4.
An amendment making all
bonds $40 bonds was agreed
to, also making the rate on certificates 3
per cent, and making them ITO ccrtiii-
Gates.

amendment requiring the secretary tc
