HOUSE.

Mr.. Kelley of Pennsylvania, from the com
mittee on WAYS and means, reported bill to
reconsider the establishment of the export
of tobacco manufactures and all owing draw
backs on imported articles used in manufac-
turing tobacco for export; referred to the
committee of the whole.
Mr.. Dibrell of Tennessee, from the COM
mittee on agriculture, reported the agricult-
ure appropriation bill. 1t was referred to the
committee of the whole.
Mr.. Dibrell gave notice that he would call
it up for action on Saturday. This bill ap-
propriates S546. 2S0, being Sl25 $50 less than
year.
The House at l2 35 went into committee of
the whole on the Indian appropriation bill.
Mr.. kiefer of Ohio, referring to the Okla
hama question, held that there was no color
of right on the part of white settlers to go
upon Oklabama land, and protested against
anything being said in Congress in defence of
the action of those settlers. Every one
should be driven at the point of the bayonet
from that territory.
The bill was then read by sections for
amendments.
Mr. Burns of Missouri moved to amend
the paragraph appropriating S45,0 900 for the
payment of the interest to the Creek Indians
under the act of June 10, 1866, by adding
proviso that no part of this sum shall be paid
until the Creek nation make and file an ac-
ceptance and the ratification of the survey
made under the treaty; and also statement
in writing, releasing the United States from
the seeming trust created by the treaty, as to
half of the lands sold to the United States by
that treaty. Ut is uuder this treaty that the
Oklahama lands were ceded to the United
States
Mr.. Burns said let Congress compromise
this matter and save bloodshed. Let this
amendment be adopted and the compromise
made.
MIR. Ellis of Louisiana made a point of
order agsinst the amendment, and it was sus-
tanned by the chair.
In the discussion, which took somewhat of
a conversational tone between Messrs. Hol-
man of Indiana and Ellis of Louisiana, upon
a certain paragraph of the bill. words of
warm nature passed between the two gentle.
men, which were not generally heard by the
members.
Mr.. Holman had been making a Eve minute
speech when Mr.. Ellis suggested that the re-
marks made by u. Holman had been cogitated
upon for some days, but that they should
have been directed to the subsequent sec
ton.
MI noiihan repleu tnat the gentleman
should be more truthful in estimating the
time during which he (Holman) studied his
speeches
Mr.. Ellis angrily retorted that he would
permit no man to impugn his truth here or
elsewhere, and if anyone did 90 he would
hold him to his responsibility.
Mt. Holman returned that be had heard
such language before, and it was the language
of timidity.
The matter was here dropped.
After concluding the consideration of 81
pages of the bill the committee rose, and the

suit the time tables OF the Baltimore and

its sure connections, and rates always %

controversy the best line west. Colo
nists are carried in first class cars On fast
trains, and every possible care is taken
