Correspondence of SPECTATOR.
WASHINGTON, March 9th, 1886.
The Blair Educational Bill, variously
amended. passed the Senate yesterday
When it will be taken up in the House no
mortal man can say. This bill is not so
popular amongst Senators and Representa-
tives as it was in the last Congress.
The Senate has fixed ON Monday next to
begin the discussion of the refusal of the
Attorney General to submit papers to the
Senate in cases of removals from Office by
the President. No one expects the Presi-
dent to back down. Whatever faults Gro
YER Cleveland has, certainly want of back
bone is not one of them.
The Pension Bill, after sharp debate.
passed the House on the 4th. Yeas 239;
nays l, Judge Bennett, of N. Co.; not vo-
ting, SO. This bill, which passed with so
great unanimity, appropriates the modest
little sum of about $75, 900. 900. Perhaps it
is all right, as we do not keep large stand
ing army, to let it be so distinctly under
stood that in case soldier is killed, or dis
abled. his country will take care of his fam
lily, or provide for him.
