one-third of the states of the Union not a

single removal from Office had been made.
mr.. butterworth then passed on to the con-
slderation of the circumstances attending his
election to the forty-sxth congress, and
created considerable amusement by his
description OF the methods which he asserted
had been practised by the Democratic party,
and OF the part played by Ephraim Holland in
that campaign.
Mr.. Cox IN. ~ interrupted to inquire what
Mr.. Butterworth thought Of the removal OF
Mr.. Smith, internal revenue collector at Gin
cinnati.
Mr.. Butterworth did not give direct
answer but in the course of his reply said to
Cox, "You have the district so thoroughly
rotten that it votes the Democratic ticket by
instinct"
This angered Mr.. Cox somewhat and he re-
pied that such remark came with very bad
grace from the gentleman who had seduced
Ephraim Holland who, according to that gen
tleman, was Democratic prostitute.
In reply Mr.. Butterworth made an sllusion
which is not fit for publication, aud which
was characterized by Mr.. Cox as the remark
of a blackguard.
subsequently an effort was made to have
the colloquoy kept from the record, and this
was accomplished, though uot until debate
had gone for some time, of such q character
as to lead Money (Miss.) to suggest to the
chair that ladies should retire from the gal
lerV)
Mr.. Butterworth concluded his speech with
an attack upon the Democratic party and its
profession OF civil service reform in the
fOrty-fourth congress. That party had rid
den into the power of the house fetlock deep
in human blood; to get that power it had
murdered more men for attempting to vote
the Republican ticket than had fallen in the
defense of the flag at Gettysburg. In spite of
the beautiful party talk about civil
service reform, there was not g spot
upon the escutcheOn Of the country that had
not been placed there by Democratic figures;
there was not a hole in the country's flag
that they had not shot there. There (pointing
to the side OF the chamber) was the map of
the country. II he asked that man should
pat his pencil upon state where political riot
went unchecked, where Political outrage and
wrong went unrebuked and unpunlshed, there
was not a man who would have the brazen
efrOntery to put his pencil within the boun-
dairy OF any clean Republican state. lApplause
on the Republican side.
Mr.. Bayard said he had endeavored 10 show
yesterday that the removals made by the pres
ident were in violation Of the constitution and
laws Of the country. He (Bayard) had drawn
the line Of demarcstion between the late presi-
dent and the present president. That line of
demarcatiOn was distinctively drawn. Gen.
Garfield had proposed to represent the wishes
Of the people, and his action in office and his
action everywhere had been in response 10 the
demands OF public sentiment, while President
Aathur, instead Of responding to the demands
OF the people, was responding to the demands
of minority faction of the Republican party.
Collector after collector had been removed by
him, and almost every one of those removals
had been against the earnest protest of the
people OF these districts. That was the diff
ference between the two men,-one (Garfield)
believing it to be his high tuty to represent
the public sentiment; the other (Arthur) be-
ieving 1t to be his duty to represent the will
OF faction. The issue ought to be presented
to the people.
An amendment was adopted amending sec
ton 1920 revised statutes 60 as to authorize
the secretary OF the treasury to grant
permission TO use any boiler or steam
heater not constructed OF rivited iron or
steel plates, on the CERTIFICATE of the supervis-
ing inspector Of steamboats, for the district in
which said boiler or generator is TO be used.
Mr.. Holman (Ind.) raised the point of order
against the appropriations in the bill 10 carry
out the provisions of the anti-polygamy act.
Overruled.
The clause appropriating $4,000 for the
salaries Of the Utah commission was struck
of the bill.
Mr.. Converse (Ohio) moved to strike out
the proyiso combining the duties and investiga-
tions OF the board OF health to the diseases of
the committee rose.
4r. Deuster (Wis) introduced bill to
regulate the carriage OF passengers by steam
ships. Referred. Ut is drawn in accordance
with suggestions made by the president in his
recent message announcing his veto of the
bill OF sale of title presented by the house Sat.
urday last.)
Mr.. Kasson Qo.) introduced bill to repeal
certain additional duties on sugar. Referred
ut repeats so much of the act of March 8,
1878, as imposes an additional duty of 25 pei
cent. OF the amount of duty heretofore i'm
posed on all molasses, concentrated molasses,
tank bottoms, syrup OF sugar cane juice and
sugars according to the duties standard in
color imported from foreign countries, pro-
vided that said articles now imported and in
bond shall be delivered on payment of such
reduced duty and provided further that here
after the duties on said articles, entered into
warehouses shall be assessed on the quantity
delivered from instead OF the quantity enter ed
into the warehouse.
Mr. Cox IN. Y y offered the foil owing reso.
luton: That the president of the United
States, IL not incompatible with public SER
vice. communicate to this house any informa-
ton in the possession oftthe department of
state in reference to any change or modification
or stipulatiions which the French Cable COM
pany made with our government at the time
(February Q, 1SS0) when said company was
permitted to land its cable upon our shores, TO
the effect that it would never combine with
other companies to raise rates, and further, to
report the nature of such change aud modif-
cation, If any, with view to congressional
action to prevent cosolidation of the rates.
Referred.
The house then took recess.

alton OF pension bills.
A Republican caucus is announced for to-
morrow evening.
