adopted last evening, makes certain
additions 10 the list of acts already
enumerated in the bill, which con-
titnte the ground for Involuntary

the amendment is as follows:
Cor shall, after the passage of the
act, sell or agree to sell, for delivery,
at a future time, any stocks,
bonds or other securities, or any

snch contract, owner or assignee or

In connection with the amendment,
Senator Morgan said: The substance
of this amendment [ have taken
from the Statutes of Massachusetts,
which, one of the honorable Sena-
tors from that State has in
formed me, by mere declaration,
of the nulity Of such contracts has
had the effect of suppressing evil
within that State. [ congratulate
Massachusetts upon her success. I
wish that some law had been passed
three years ago SO that, in an inteS
rior city in the State of Alabama,
100000 would have been saved to
some Of the very best people in that
city-its wives and children which
we're squandered in single season
in betting on futures in cotton.

THE Tribune insists on m aking a
column and a half argument on
paying the National Debt, after we
had submitted the case to the jury
on its 0'0R argument; and then
adds: Hope our adversary will
properly cO3aStrue the length Of this
article"
We do properly construe its
length" Our construction is that
you knoa0 your first argument
needed re-" construction" and
needed it badly.
You claimed you had churned the
butter in your first argument. We
simply SAID "We submit this cues
ton to the jury a0ithout argument"
and then you jump up and insist
ON churning twice, yes more than
t'cjcc as long as you churned at
first. And you sweat worse the
second time than the first, and grow
redder in the face.
Now, if you had churned the but
ter the first time why insist on a
second churning?
Let the same jury decide.

HOUSE
WASHINGTON, December 9.-Mr.
Page, of California, chairman of the
committee on commerce, reported d
resolution calling on the Secretary
of War as to whether any moneys ap-
priated by the last river and harbor
bill were appropriated for works or
objects that are not in the interest
and do not benefit commerce and
navigation; and if so, the names of
such works or objects, and the re>
spective amounts so appropriated.
And whether any OF the money has
been used on works not In the inter
est of commerce and to navigation,
and if so, the names of such works.
And whether the expenditure of any
money authorized by that act has
been withheld or stopped, and if so,
how much and for what purpose;
the amount likely to be on hand at
the close of the current fiscal year
and how much of such balance com
prises the money which has been
carried over from year to year from
noncompliance with the conditions
of the law making such appropr a
tions, and to furnish estimates of
the engineer of the department for
the year 1884, which have not been
transmitted by the Secretary of the
Treasury in conformity with section
1869, Revised Statutes.
This resolution at once plunged
the House into heated and exciting
debate upon the the river and harbor
bill, which was an exaggerated
counterpart of the debate pro-
crossing in the Senate. At the same
time Messrs. McLane, of Maryland,
and Robson, OF New Jersey, made
strong speeches in favor of that
bill.
Mr.. Robinson, attributing the op-
position to it from metropolitan
newspapers as being in the interest
of aggregated capital employed in
the railroads, Messrs. Cox and Kas-
son renewed their opposition to the
bill, and the members of the House
surrounded the speakers and several
times interrupted them with laughter
and applause.
The House finally adopted the
resolution, and after the introduce
ton and reference of the bills to pro-
mote the telegraphic communication
with Europe, and appropriating
S1,250,000 for the purchase of real
estate in New York City for customs
purposes, at 1;40 o'clock proceeded
to the consideration of the consular
appropriation bill, which was passed,
and the House adjourned.

WASHINGTON, December S.-He1S
tiops of tobacco dealers and manu-
facturers for rebate equal to any
reduction that may be made in the
tax on tobacco, was presented by
Senators Hale, Miller, of New York,
and Edmunds.
Senator Hoar asked Senator PEN
dleton when he intended to call up
his civil service bill.
Senator Pendleton, in reply, asked
unanimous consent to take up the
bill for the purpose of making it a
special order for Monday next.
Senator Voorhees, said there were
so many more important measures
awaiting the action of the Senate
that he was compelled to object.
Senator Pendleton then gave no
tice that as soon as the bankruptcy
bill was disposed of be would move
to take up the civil service bill.
Senator Vance offered resolution,
which was agreed to, directing the
Secretary of the Treasury to fur
nish, as soon as possible, a detailed
statement showing the cost of col
lecting internal revenue IN each coll
lection district, number of employees
in each district, and per centage of
cost upon sums collected in each
district.
The President submitted a cons
munication from the Secretary of
War, transmitting, in compliance
with resolution adopted on motion
of Senator Jones, an estimate of the
Mississippi River Commission, for
the fiscal year ending June Both,
1884. A discussion of the question
OF the reference of this communica-
ton to the commerce committee, or
Mississippi River committee, brought
on renewal of the debate on the
River aud Harbor bill, of last ses>
sion, the point of attack being the
use of public money to construct and
repair the Mississippi levees.
Pending discussion, at the close
of the morning hour, Senator Beck
called up his resolution for an inves-
tigation of political assessments.
Senator Voorhees, addressed the
Senate, congratulating the country
upon the wonderful change of heart
on the subject among the Republi-
can Senators since the discussion
last summer.
In the course of the discussion
Senator Hale read a circular calling
meeting of the liquor dealers of
Dayton, o., to aid in defeating the
fanatics and prohibitionists, and said
he wished the investigating commit
tee to summon Edward Cooler, and
ask him how much money the Dem
ocratic committe in New York col
lected from the liquor dealers
there.
At z O'Clock, without acting ON
Senator Beck's resolution, the SEN
ale resumed consideration of unfin.
ished business, and the bankruptcy
bill was taken up.
Senator Hoar continued his speech
in advocacy of the Lowell bill, and
when he concluded, Senator Braun
said he had listened to the speeches
of Senators ingalls, and Hoar, and
each had succeeded in convincing
him that the bill of the other was
wrong. He thought, before devoting
more time to the discussion of de-
tails, it would be well to ascertain
whether the Senate was of the opin>
ion that any bankruptcy law was re-
quired. He, therefore, moved to
indefinitely postpone the subject.
After some discussion it was agreed
to dispose of the bill Monday.
Senator Hawley introduced bill
to prevent officers of the United
States from collecting subscriptions

The bill is filed by a party who
lives about half a mile off. We
know it is no pleasant thing for a
man to have pest-house in a half
mile of him; but if one person can
file bill another can file bill, and
any peSt-house is impossible.
We hope the city attorney will,
at once, have the Chancellor RUE
