WASHINGTON CITY, Dec. lin the SEN
ate, Monday, Morrill, presented the creden

commencing the 4th of March next; filed
The following bills among others were intro
duced and referred By Cullom, to amend
the revised statutes relative to the immedi-
ate transportation of bonded goods; also to
revise the rates of wages of certain en-
ployes in the government printing office; by
Bowen, providing new basis for the circu-
lation of national banks; This is practically
the same bill introduced last session,)
by Morrill,, instructiDg the committee
on finance to examine as to the expedency
of some practical measure for maintaining
national banks without additional cost to
the government; referred.
The senate then resumed consideration of
Morrills resolution declaring it impractic-
able to make proper revision of the tariff
at the present session, and Dawes took the
floor. He reviewed existing law and said he
had yet to see the man who would not favor
placing on the free list such raw materials as
were not produced in this country.
In the house, Monday, under the call of
states, the following bills and resolutions
were introduced and referred:
By Oates of Alabama, TO prohibit the ap-
pointment of congr, ssional committees 10
attend funerals; and to prohibit the draping
of public buildings i'll mourning, except by
order of the president, Also authorizing the
appointment of clerks to senators and repre-
sentatives who are not chairmen of commit
tees.
By Lawler of Illinois, resolutions reciting
that the rapidly accommodating surplus in the
treasury is in excess of the needs of the gov
ernment for its support and the discharge of
the bonded debt; that the coast defenses are
inadequate to protect the lake and sea coast
cities, and that nearly 5000, 900 men are un-
employed and declaring it to be the sense of
the house that large proportion of the sur
plus in the treasury should be expended
through liberal appropriations for repairing
and properly equipping the coast defenses
and for the construction of ships.
