The report Of the POstmastcr-General concerning

LONG DISCUSSION on THE REPUNDING BILL IN
THE HoUsE-THE ARGUMENTS DEvELoPED-THE
FRANKING PRIVILEGE REPORT.
Nearly the entire session of the House was
occupied yesterday by the debate On the Re-
funding bill. The opinions Of the members
as to the practicabiity of floating three per
cent bond were varied. There were one or two
amusing scenes in the course of the day, and
some fiery speeches were made. The Indian
Appropriation bill was reported from the
Committee on Indian Affairs. The Demo-
Gratis Of the House still refuse to allow
the report of the Postmaster-G General to be
read concerning the alleged violations of the
franking law.
