The Senate bill passed requesting the name
of the United States to invite all foreign gov
ernments to take part in the international ex
hibition in New York in 1883, PROVIDED the
United States shall not be liable directly OF
indirectly for the expenses attending tne ex
hibition.
The House then went into committee OF The
whole on the sundry civil bill. The pending
amendment was that offered by Mr.. Atkinf
striking out the clause appropriating $4O,oOt
for printing 10000 copies of the comp1lauor
of official records of the war Of ythe rebe!lion
Mr.. Atkins said he had always been in favor
of the compilation of these records, but the
action of the committee in striking out the ap
preparation for the purchase OF She Bragg ano
Polk papers seemed to him an indication Of
impartial history not desired. Anything:
that did injustice to one side or the other dld
injustice to the whole country, for In writing
history of the country nothing that might
be said complimentary to Confederate soldiers
would detract from the Federal soldier, but
on the contrary would add to his lustre and
glory. He had been assured by gentlemen on
the other side that the design was to secure
everything that would throw light on the late
war, and would therefore withdraw his amend.
ment.
Mr.. Hostetter offered an amendment appro'
priating $4,000, enabling the secretary OF the
treasurer to transport free of charge subsidiary
silver coin when required to do SO. Adopted:
A bill having been read appointing General
George Mcclellan a member of the National
Home for disabled volunteer soldiers, to fill
the vacancy occasioned by the death OF Gener.
al Jne. Love. Mr.. Browne moved to insert
Gen. Mcclellan, and Weaver moved to insert
the name of Gen. B. F. Butler. Both motions
were defeated.
The committee Informally rose to enable the
speaker to announce Atkins, Cymer and
Baker, confreres in the legislative appropria.
ton bill, and resumed it's sitting.
Mr. Goode offered an amendment appro-
priating 100000 for the establishment at
the Isthmus of Panama of naval station
Mr.. Blount raised the point of order the
amendment wasn't in continuation of any work
in progress and urged the object wasn't so
much to establish stations, but was in con-
nection with protectorate of the isthmus In
consequence of the proposed inter-ocean1c
canal.
Mr.. Whithorne, chairman of the naval
committee, replied to Blount the isthmus OF
Panama was to be possibly the future limit OF
the American coastwise trade and
there were mineral lands there which
could be obtained now on good terms. The
amendment was offered in the interest
of the great national interests of the country
and he warned the gentlemen not to trifie by
delays or technicalities with opposition in
which the honor and interests of the country
might be involved.
The chairman said he would submit the
point of order to the committee for decision.
Point of order overruled, 70 to SO.
Mr. Keifer quoted from the recent message
of the President, to show the Importance and
economy of providing these naval stations.
Mr.. Mcmahon expressed his surprise at the
suggestion that saving of $3.50, 1000 coold be
effected annually by the establishment OF
coaling stations.
Mr.. Whitthorne criticised the Democracy
of Blount and Mcmahon, contrasting it with
that of real Democracy, which had added en-
pires to the national domain, whose idea was
the manifest destiny of the North American
republic and whose motto was, "No pent up
Utica contract our powers, but the whole
boundless continent is ours" Those gentle
men, Blount and Mcmahon, were neOphytes and
picayunes of the Democracy. Laughter.) AS
to the intimation of jobbery, all that he had
to say was that when the proposition came be-
fore the naval committee it was referred to Mr.
Goode as a sub committee, and the intimation
that anybody appeared before him in commit
tee in the interest of land company was un-
charitable and false. After further discussion
and without action on the amendment, the
committee rose and the House adjourned.
