Forty-Seventh Congress.


WASHINGTON, July 2&-As soon as the
routine orders of business were disposed Of
Mr. Hale moved to postpone all present and
plior orders, including the revenue bill, AND
| take up the naval appropriation bill. A
long discussion followed, in which the mo-
ton was construed on both sides of the
chamber as having the effect to dispose of
the subject of revenue and taxation for this
session. and to facilitate the probable adj
joulnment in the course of few days.
In further progress of debate the position
of friends of the revenue bill was COM
mented on as a virtual abandonment
of it, A vote was finally taken,
when motion to proceed with
the naval appropriation bill prevailed
yeas, "a; nays, 20. Messrs. Hale, Hoar, In
gals. Kellogg, McDill and Plumb were the
republicans voting with the democrats in
favor of the motion. The negative vote
was entirely republican, except that OF
Malone, and Davis, of Illinois, also
voted no.
Mr.. VanWyck offered the following:
Whereas, The tariff commission, from
their headquarters at Long Branch,
have on two occasions implor-
ingly appealed to the public
| for Information and no response has been
made thereto, and after inviting into its
p.esence manufacturers, importers, and
tn.ders, it is now wrestling with serious
questfG; whether gentlemen so invited can
relate their, experience and explain their
theories without taking an oath, duly adj
ministered, to tell the ruth, evidently with
the laudable desire t" protect itseh from i'm
position.
Resolved, That the attorney general as
coon rs in his Judgment can withdraw
his personal attendance from the
star-route prosecution, and can
fully satisfy the president and his cabinet,
that the members OF congress are not DILL
GERS OF the government and as TO the le-
gality Of political assessment, be directed
10 proceed to Long Branch TO aid said COM
mission in determining the above import
ant and intricate question, and he shall adj
wise what TO him may seem proper TO pro-
tect the said commission from imposition
by men wise in matters Of trade and rev.
onue, either by stringent oaths or other
pains and penalties.
Numerous objections to the considera-
ton of this resolution we're made stimuli
taneollsly and it went over without action.

ton bill as in the committee of the whole,
with Mr. Harris IN the chair. Mr.. Hale, in
charge Of the bill, addressed the COM
mittee.
Mr.. Cameron, of Pennsylvania, chair
man Of the naval committe. at the instance
of that committee, moved 20 recommit the
committee to eliminate all of its provisions
relating TO the re organization of the navy,
passing over the merits or dement's OF these
provisions. He protested against its usur-
patton by the appropriations committee Of
the function which legitimately belonged
to the naval committee.
This proposition brought on general de-
bate, which was still pending when the sem
ate went into executive session and soon
after adjourned.
