made June 49, 1882, being the bill to regu-
late the removal of causes from the State to
Federal courts.
The House decided not to take up the
special order.
Mr. Cox, of New York, SAID the shipping
bill was also a special order but he proposed,
in good faith, that the Pendeton bill be put
upomits passage without debate. Loud ap-
plause and cries of "Vote" "Vote"7
Mr., Kasson-Is the gentleman authorized
to speak fer that side?
[Cries of Yes" "Yes, from the Demo
cratic side.
Nh. Bland, of Missouri, raised the point of
order that the bill must be considered in
committee of the whole.
Tie Speaker overruled the point.
The Pendleton bill was then read at
length. At the conclusion of the reading
there were loud cries of Vote" and Mr..
Kasson moved the previous question, which
was carried by storm of yeas amid ap-
plause.
Mr.. Kasson stated that there were some
sigh. errors in the bill, but, yielding to the
m anifest wish of the House. he had deter
mined the bill should not be sent back to the
Senate on that account.
Ths Speaker ruled that thirty minutes de-
bate, Mould be allowed.
Nd Reagan, of Texas spoke in opposition
to the bill, on the ground that it was not eff
ficient to remedy the evils complained Of
Mr., Townshend, OF Illinois, favored a pro-
vision providing penalty for violation Of
the clause forbidding political assessments
MM Buckner, OF Missouri favored the bill,
as it would tend to break the iniqitous assess
ment system.
Mr. SCalkins, of Indiana regarded the bill
as the turning point to perfect civi-service
reform. If the Democrats could stand this
bill now, he was sure the Republicans, with
theirsfellows in office, could He admired

medicine in the shape of the civil-service re-
form bill, after having wandered for twenty
four years in the desert Of Sahara For this
reason, and many others, he favored the bill,
Mr. Atherton, of Oho-You have lost my
vote by that speech.
MH Willis of Kentucky, said the Demo
cratic party had demonstrated to the coun-
try that it was in favor of the bill, and that
it was sincere in It's support
Ms Kasson closed the debate with a short
speech in favor of the bill, which however,
he did not consider so efficient as the bill
previously reported by the House commit
tee. The people had revolted against the
tyrannical levying of assessments on office
holders, and against what was called boSsism
in Congress and there was a provision in the
bill to put a stop to it. He did not favor
prohibiting private parties from asking for
money for legitimate election purposes, for
to do that would be to degrade the manhood
of every government employe.
Mr. Thompson, of Kentucky, moved to re-
commit the bill with instructions to the
committee to report it back with an amend
ment prohibiting assessment of public EN-
ployes by private persons. Lost-yeas, So;
