favorably was a resolution by Mr.. Frye reported az

Foreign Relations declaring to be the opinion of the
Senate that Congress ought not TO provide for joint
commission of Grea, Britain and the Unted States in

endar.
Among The bills passed one for the relief of the
Masonic Hall Company, Of Atlanta, j. A. Henry, Mrs.
A. j. Donahoe Mrs. j. p. Williams. and other resi-
dents of the Southern States. The bill approprates
money for the payment of the claims Of the persons
named for supplies taken by the Union troops be-
tween the time of the cessation Of hosties in the
field in the late war and the period fixed by the
Supreme Court the time when the war technically
ceased.
In the morning hour the House resumed the consid-
Grafton of the bill 10 abolish certain fees for Ocal
services to American vessels. Mr. Dingley, of Maine,
who has charge Of the BILL concluded his brief eX-
nanation of its provisions He stated that tbs fees

Mr. Riddeberger obtained leave to unburden his mind
only after Messrs Hale and Van Wyck had come TO his
assistance lie then said that he had objection TO

did object to the remaining sections. They were not
necessary he thought AS to the first three. he would
accept them as substitute for his own resolution. Mr.
Pugh said he would havo offered his resolu-
tion the subject had not been presented by leading
Republican, statement which received by the Re-
publican side with great gravity.
A few rambling remarks followed but the upshot OF 1t
NIL was that the resolution laid the table by
decisive vote.
This did not s.tisfy Mr. Rlddleberger however. Not
knowing now TO bring the subject before the Senate
again he consulted the rules, aud after forfying HIM
self sufficiently. he before the mornng hour had
exprec, and said that inasmuch as the Senator from
Kansas Mr. Ingalls, had given notice yesterday that
be would move q reference Of the resolution to
the proper committee, he would now ask that
Tn. resolution be taken from the table to allow its
disposition to be made In this manner.
