views. with the other reports, at the time the
whole matter 10 made public Messrs Harris

stated in these dispatches. last night, the tariff
bill and the majority report which will go with
IL have been resdy Cor the public several days,

DemocraLs 10 aEsuu. Late tnlS 6lterpoon
work was begun upon abstract OF the Re-
publican BILL which is to be officially given to
the press tomorrow afternoon This work re-
quires . great deal of skill, inasmuch as the bill
is in almost incomr rehsnsbe form. Ths pres
ent law must also be consulted closely in the
compilation of an intelligens description OF the
bill. 1t is intended that the measure shall be
given to the public oEe day and the

cesdina day, there being TOO much Of
them all to receive full publication
on one day. Republican members of the COM
mittee on finance say the debate upon the bill
will ommence the latter part OF this or the
first of next week, and that IL is to be pushed
ahead as rapidly as possible.
There was good deal Of talk among the
Democrats in the House. to-day. however, about
recess Of Congress. The Democratic members
of the committee on ways and means who are
now in the city favor the adoption Of q concuf.
rent resolution within the next ten days, pro-
viding for a recess till aoout the middle OF No
vsmbsr. and it is not improbable that before the
debate has proceeded In the Senate on the tariff
bill moro than week, Congress will take re-

over, went into executive session, and the first
business was the nomination of L. @. G. La
mar to be Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States.
Senator Edmunds, Chairman Of the Commit
tee on Judiciary, opened the discussion by
an opposition to Mr.. Lamars confirmation,
based upon his advanced age and doubtful legal
qualifications.
Senator Sherman opposed the confirmation
on general principles, and specifically on the
ground that Mr.. Lamar's antecedents and
present opinions made him very unfit person
to be entrusted with the judicial interpreta-
tion of questions growing out of the condition
of affairs in the South.
Senators Hoar, Cullom and Hawley spoke to
the same effect.
Senator Riddleberger advocated the confrma-
tion. He did not think at this late day that it

in opposition. The vote stood 80 yeas to %

eral and Gen. E. S. Bragg for Minister to Mex
leo were then confirmed.
In the House Mr.. McMillin Tenn reported
the resolution calling up information relative
to discrimination in tolls against American
vessels passing through the Welland Canal, and
this was adopted after some discussion.
Much time was devoted to discussing the
Public Printers shortcomings and listening
to apologies for him.
The resolution giving every Member of Con-
gress clerk at salary of SIS a month was
offered, and made the subject of discussion.

Logan Sigman, in 1861, killed young man

the turnpike hurrahing for JEFF Davis. Sig
man served in the army during the war, and
afterward removed to Missouri. In 1885 he
was taken back, and tried the next year, but
the jury disagreed. The defense is, that as
Sigman was a Union soldier, he was justified
in the killing, as the kurrahng was treason
