Hewitt, OF New YORK, rising TO q ques
ton of privilege, said Friday last he made
the statement that the secretary OF the
navy had not complied with the
law which required him TO cover into
the treasury the net proceeds of sale
OF condemned vessels. This statement had
beon controverted and he had been sub.
jected 10 very. considerable ohii
cism. Ho read the section OF
the law Which contained the
requirements and letter from the treasury
stating that money had been deposited py
the secretary OF the navy to the credit OF
though 100000 deposited April
18th, 1884, was now being covered into the
treasury, but deposited with the treasurer

charged that the law had not been

on the part Of the secretary to do any dis

ton of the secretary of the navy
had been most creditable; the whole
tone OF the service had been raised, but the
issue was whether = great officer OF the
government had obeyed the clear COM
m and OF the law. He asserted the secre'
tary had not.
and argued that the provisions oi.the law
had not been violated; that the law requir
ed the net proceeds OF the sale should be
covered into the.treasury net roceeds could
not have been obtained until all expendi-
lures had been paid for, aud this had not
vet boon done. His deliberate judgment
was that every candid A. man n, n.u would say
mere subttriufs:
The house then went into committee OF
the whole aud proceeded to consider busi-
ness relating to the District OF Columbia.
The free bridge bill, after some discussion.
was laid aside with favorable recommends
lions.
The next bill considered was one appro.
priating $500, 900 TOR the com le,icn OF
sc verage system In the District, but with
ont action the committee rose, the hee
bridge bill was commit ed and the house
took recess until 8 o'clock. the evening
session TO be for debate on the tariff bill.
At the evening session, wolford made an
earnest snpeal In favor OF the tariff bill and
pictured the beneficial results that would
follow its passage. The Morrison bill. he
said. was founded on the eternal prin.
c.ple Of right. aud would be hailed by
future generations as q harbipger OF free
dom IN the purest senae.
Storm opposed the bill. II was merely o
measure OF agitation for the sake Of agita-
ton, because the majority ofthe democratic
side favored agitation.
