HOUSE,
Mr.. RANDALL, from the committee
ON appropriations, reported back the
naval appropriation bill with the senate
amendments, recommending concur
renee in some and nOn-concurrenco IN
others. The amendments were con
silored In the house rs in committee OF
tho whole.
A resolution which declared that be-
haI 10 81 no A
other gentlemen of the senate IL would
not sit there ut all, was puerile. The
house, instead of maintaining its dig
nifty, was losing IL. 10 was Offering in-
tentiOnally what seemed 10 be an insult
to the committee, which had never in
tended Ia insult or intlict upon II.
Mr.. YOUNG protested against the
house inilicting this discourtesy ON the
the president of the United States.
Mr.. REAGAN supported the resolu-
ton, and said the house should not SUI.
nit to the senate taking control aud ig-
noring the representatives OF the people.
Preference had been given to diplomats,
Judges, military officers and the heads
of bureaus over the representatives OF
tho congress of the United States. The
committee was authorized to make ar
rangemeutS for the inaugural core
monies and assign visiting bodies, IL
range it. The committee had
not done otherwise than Of
fer au intentional and de-
liborate discourte,ey. Representa-.
lives would have 10 answer TO their con-
stiluents for this discourtesy.
Mr.. KELLY stated that he had been
present at six inauguratiOns, and the
programme on this occasion was no de.
parturc from precedent.

Mr.. MILLS moved to suspend the
rules and adopt Il resolution that the
committee appointed 10 arrange for the
inaugural ceremonies, having de-
clIned To give TO representatives IN con-
gross their proper place, we Will decline
10 take part IN any of said ceremonies at
She capital. This resolution, said Mr..
Mills, reelected the sentiments OF a large
number
Mr.. HAMMOND demanded q vote,
and the motion was secOnded-l3S to S.
MIR. HAMMOND said the house was
about to DO, in passion, very unseemly
thing. On the 4th of March a president
OF the United States was to be in
augurated. II was usual that the house
should be with the senate and other
public officials TO witness that great
scene.
Mr.. HAMMOND said he had no in
tantion OF allowing the Republicans to
keep MIN away from seeing Grover
Cleveland inaugurated. 1t was the first
time he had had a chance to see a Demo-
craC inaugurated ana he intended to
see it. (Applause,) He did not propose
anything should keep him from his
proper place 20 witness the Inaugural
lion OF the man in whose hands the peo-
pie had placed tho sceptre for the next
Jour years.
Mr. JOHN S. WISE, of Virginia, re-
garded the place which had been as
signed representatives as one OF the
many slight outcrOppings OF The grow
ing evidence of superiority supposed to
exist in the senate of the United States.
In the programme presented the senate
assumed to represent the legislative
branch OF the government, and to allow
the poor house of representatives TO fol-
low along as little dogs under wagon.
He was glad OF the OPP
portunitv here and now
TO enter his emphatic protest on behalf
of the representatives of the people
against these encroachments by that
aristOcratic body, the senate of the
United States. II was right that the
house should be present at the inaugural
ceremonies as the equal of the senate,
and if couldn't be there as equal, dig
uity requested that il should not go at
as well as the member from
Georgia (Hammond) wished to see it.,
because it was his first Democrat; he
wanted to see it because he thought it
entirely likely it would be the last.
Mr.. WELLS spoke in support of his
resolution and iuveighed againt the
action OF the senate a. being a delibe-
rate slight upon the house. He also
wanted to see the inauguration,
but ne, as a representative of the peo-
pls, was not going to be in the tail and
with the boot blacks. The house owed
it to its dignity and to the respect for
the people it represented, that it should
not accept the inferior station which the
senate had assigned it.
The motion to suspend the rules and
adopt the resolution was lost-yeas, 3d.;
nays, 1883,
Me srs. Hutchins, Randall and Long
were appointed cOniereeS on the naval
appropriation bill.
Mr.. BENNETT called up the con-
tested election case of Freder'cks vs..
Wilson,
MIR. VALENTINE raised the cues
ton of consideration. The Republicans
abstained from voting and the house
was lett without quorum, but on the
roll call the Democrats mustered aquo-
rum and the house dotermined-yeas
l72; nays, ITO consider the election
case.
Pending the vote, Mr.. ADAMS,of New
York, gave notice that at the conclusion
of consideration of the election case he
would move to suspend the rules and
pass the bankruptcy bill, and upon the
commencement of The vote Immediately
made a motion to adjourn, but the
speaker had previously recognized Mr..
Bennett to debate the contested election
case, and did not recognize the motion.
