REGULAR SESSION.
AOUSE.

nous consent to take from the
House calendar and pass the bill TO
retire the trade dollar.
Randall objected. He favored
the object contemplated in the bill,
but did not think the measure
should be agreed to in this manner.
HiscOck presented the conference
report on the Immediate deficiency
bill. He explained that the bill as
it now stood increased the appro-
priation made by the House $780,
900. The report was agreed 10.
Hoar, from the committee on
commerce, reported the bill to pre-
vent the shipping from foreign
countries of adulterated food and
drugs into the United States. House
calendar.
The House went into committee
on the consular and the diplomatic
appropriation bill.
Hiscock claimed for the repub-
lican party all the credit of the legis-
lation of '6S, respecting the right Of
naturalized citizens, and said that
an inspection of the record will
dissipate all illusions respecting the
legislation of IS, created by Hewitt,
on Thursday, and would strip Robe
son of his borrowed plumage.
Springer advocated an amend
ment for the consolidation of the
missions to France and Spain, Ger
many and Austria, etc.
Cox New York; expressed regret
that q partisan turn should have
been given the discussion. The act
of IS was the product of both par
ties. He advocated the abrogation
of the Bancroft treaty, which dis
eliminated against German citizens
Robson said the Irish question
had again come to the surface, and
the question had been argued by
gentlemen on the other side, going
to show that the interest repres-
erlted by struggling Ireland, found
its great defender i'll the democratic
party. The orators and speech
makers of the other side stood up to
box the ear of thu ountry, declaring
the great and EnquestiOned prin-
ciple of freedom, progress, and
rights OF man, and adding to it the
falsehood, that the modern demo
cracy of this country was It's cham
pion and defenders.
Cox enquired whether the bill OF
E. R. Hoar. providing that residence
for two years in Germany by a
naturalized German of the United
States, expatriated such citizen, had
not come from President Grants
cabinet, of %Tich the gentleman
from New Jersey was a M 9mber.
RObesOn--e don't SO understand
it, but remember that that treat,
and all treaties which recognize
the rights of foreign born citiz-u-
here and elsewhere did originate n
the cabinet of General Grant, anC
were placed on the treaty bOol
under his auspices, and when tn II
was two-thirds republican m jJf
ity in the Senate.
Cox-Do you approve the Ban
croft treaty?
Ro beson-I did not take the felt
TO answer all questions of my owl
belief il the legislation of TIT
country. ! merely took the floor Il
say that, like many other gOo(
causes, the Irish cause has los
much by the weakness of its leader:
and the inconsistence of its adyo
Gates.
The freedom OF labor, Irish or Ger
man, must look for its protection in
the future as it has done in the past,
to that party and that party only
which cherishes in its principles anC
illustrates in action, deep and pro
found sympathy with man, and moi
to that party which during its year;
of power held labor in chains anC
degraded it with association with
slavery.
Cox-The gentleman did not an
swer the question l proposed, though
he was member of General
Grants cabinet, and though he rt-
members that the question Of expa-
triation came up in the cabinet, and
that Senator HOar was representing
Grant in this bill, does not dare d
fend Bancroft's naturaliZed citizens
without consulting them. Well did
the cunning gentleman avoid an
swering the question. When any
man on the other side impeaches
this side with being recreant in its
devotion to the naturaliZtd citi-
zen, in all his rights and prIvi-
Ieges, and when he arr0gates
to himself any such special devO
ton, he falsifies history aud will be
convicted for it before the people Of
this country. Cox urged the abrO-
CATION of the Bancroft treaty.
Robson said, during thirty years
that the democratic party held sway,
that principle had never been en-
bodied either in legislation or in
treaty, and it had remained for the
republican administration of Gen
eral Grant to recognize it and place
it in the statute book forever.
Lord argued that the consu ar
service was d eful, hardworking
and honorable service, whose eff.
cheney had been greatly augmented
of late.
