CONGRESSIONAL.


Washington, Jan. TN the senate TO
day a memorial Of one Moore, member Of
the Packard legislature of Louisiana, assert.
ting'thst he was bribed by Mr.. Kellogg, and
asking to be examined ON the subject, led to
discussion as to the evidence in the Kell og O.
Spotford case.
MIR. Kellogg denounced him as
a perlured blackmailer He said he could
bring thousands of citizens of New Orleans 10
reiute Moore's charges.
Mr.. Hill, of Georgia. said Moore had once
before offered to testify against Mr.. Kellogg,
but on oeing given place in the custom
house he had testified in his favor. He was
now repeating the plan. This was fine ex-
ample of the members Of the Packard legis-
lature. Mr. Hill had never seen one of them
whom he would believe under oath.
Mr.. Kellogg contradicted Mr.. Hilps
assertions and said that none of tho
members of the Packard legislature admitted
bribery; that all the evidence of bribery had
been retuted by democratic evidence. He
then proceeded to view Moore's t, stimony.
Mr.. Hill replied that he would not notice
what the sitting member had said. This dis
cussion, be thought, would have one good
effect in calling public attention to the infu.
ence ofthe customhouse in this case.
The morning hour expired and the matter
was dropped.
Mr.. Ferry introduced a bill to promote the
efficiency OF the liie-saving service. Referred
to the committee on commerce.
The senate then took up the consular and
diplomatic appropriation bill, and Mr.. Eaton
explained its provisions
Mr.. Carpenter and other senators opposed
the section appropriating money for the rent
of prisons for American convicts in China,
arguing that there was no constitutional au-
thority for consular courts and prisons in
foreign countries.
A long discussion of the subject followed,
in which Messrs. Carpenter, Pendleton, Hoar,
Brown, Voorhees,, Hill, Jones and others par
ticipated.
A motion was then made by Mr.. Carpen-
ter 10 strike out this section.
1t was then rejected by vote Of so to u.
A number of unimportant committee
amendments were then considered and agreed
