Flouquet Makes an Address to the
Chamber Of Deputies.
PARIS, Jan. t2.-M. Flouquet, on assum-
ing the Presidency of the Chamber of Dep
uties to-day, spoke of the robust vitality
displayed by that body in accomplishing
with invincible firmness a service necessary
but painful, and achieving n constitutional
evolution which the honor of the republic
demanded. He held that it was the duty OF
the Chamber to maintain W on solid basis
lasting harmony between the public powers,
1t was also to the interest of the nation
that the authority of the legislative
power should not in its turn be shaken just
after the prestige of executive power had
been happily established. He concluded by
saying that questions touching political pro
cedure had but slight interest for the nation
at the present time Ii was, therefore,
necessary for the Chamber to occupy itself
with questions of finance, industry and
commerce, the welfare Of the working
classes, military organization and the inter
nal situation.
ALL WANT JUSTICE.
Why he asked, should we not be able
to come to an agreement upon these ques-
tOns since we all equally desire iusticel
While IN negotiations regarding external
interests we are actuated by loyalty to the
people, who love peace, but are inaccessible
TO weakness. strict justice at home and
scrupulous loyalty abroad, are our essentials
of national strength. We must be strong
if we wish to be courted as allies and
dreaded as foesn

NJ. Tirard, replying to an Interpolation
of M. Basly RadicaD, declined to

The Resolution Reported Back From
the Committee as Amended.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12-In the House to-
day MIR. Townshend, from the Military
Committee, reported back the Boutelle
''baUtlefag" resolution as amended by the
Committee on Military Affairs Mr.. Bou-
telle had no objection to the amendments,
though he did not think that the broadening
of the scope OF the inquiry so as TO obtain
information as TO the return of flags to
Northern States had any bearing upon the
purpose OF the original resolution. No ban
ners belonging to loyal States had been cap
tured by the United States, though he had
seen it stated that certain flags captured by
Confederates and recaptured by Union
troops, had been returned to the survivors
of the regiment which had borne them in
battle.
Mr.. Cox, of New York, rejoiced at the
the unanimity with which the Committee
on Military Affairs had reported the resou-
tion. The country was TO be congratulated
upon the fact that this resolution, which
concerned matter which had touched the
public sensibility so greatly, could be re-
ported unanimously and even receive the
appreciation of the gentleman from Maine
Mr. Boutellel. The resolution was adopted.

CHINESE IMMIGRATION.
Mr.. Mtchell's Prohibitory Bill Up in
the Senate.

the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Jan. l.. In the Senate to-
day, Mr. Mitchell called up the bill intro
duced by him on Dec. II, abrogating all
treaties heretofore made and anow opera
tive between the United States government
and the Chinese empire, in so far as they
permit the admission of Chinese to this
country, and spoke in its favor. Mr.. Stew
art followed Mr.. Mitchell upon the same
side of the question, but the method he pro-
posed was somewhat different. He had
offered resolution requesting the Presi-
dent to negotiate treaty with
the Chinese empire excluding Cinnamon
altogether, except diplomatic agents, and
those engaged in the foreign trade; but it
would be necessary also to have treaties
with Great Britain and Mexico TO prevent
those powers from opening their doors and
allowing Chinese to come into the United
States through their territory. If such
treaties could not be negotiated, he would
be in favor OF Mitchelfs bill. He moved
reference Of the bill and of his resolution to
the Committee on Foreign Relations. They
we're so referred. The Senate then pro-
ceeded to executive business, and half an
hour afterward, at 400 o'clock, adjourned.

SALISBURY ON IRELAND.
HIS Believes Brighter Day is Dawn
ing on the Celts

ing on the Celts.
LONDON, Jan. 12.--Lord Salisbury deliv-
cred an address at the Conservative Club
banquet at Liverpool this evening He said
that the dark cloud was lifting over Ireland,
resolute government having had its effect.
He believed that the country was in the
process of extrication from the commercial
calamities OF the last twelve years Never
before had there been such solid ground for
belief in the country's prosperity. The
it was before the era of depres-
sion. Princirles and ideas had been
started which had never been heard of
before The principle which the Irish party
upheld and which Mr.. Gladstone in effect
sanctioned, was that law and order and
property were at the mercy of secret con
spirators The present government were
not responsible for the downward course.
They had no alternative hut TO continue the
course marked out by their predecessors.
COMMERCIAL INTERESTS.
The existence of the nation as a CONNER
cial nation depended upon the upholding of
the sacredness Of the principle of property.
While admitting that gigantic foreign ar
mics and uncertain national feelings were a
great danger, he declared amid loud
cheering, that peace was secure for the pres
ent and he trusted for the future. In con
cluding he reminded the Conservatives OF
their dependence on the Unionist party,
and said that their measures must to Ger
tain extent be the article Of that party
Then in the event Of any adverse
vote the government must be
guided by their sense of overwhelming
responsibility whether to appeal to the
country at time when imperial interests
were at stake and at time ill-suited to OBJ
tain the country's real, deliberate decision.
Without venturing prophecy, he thought
that an appeal to the country should be de
ferred until the result of the recent Irish
measures had been displayed to the minds
Of the people.

and by companies &C" and &c" of the
Sixth regiment as an armory. In the

which kept up constant fusilade, and sew
eral kegs of gunpowder, which exploded

NATIONAL BANK NOTES.
Mr.. Wilkins Calls Up the Bill in the
House.

WASHINGTON, Jan. l2-In the House to-
day Mr.. Wilkins, of Ohio, under instruc-
tions from the Committee on Banking and
Currency, called up for present consldera-
tion the bill providing for the issue of cir
culating notes to national banking associa-
tions
Mr.. Weaver, of Iowa, made the point of
order that the bill was not accompanied by
report such as is contemplated in the rule
requiring committees TO submit written re-
ports with every measure. The report upon
this bill was one merely recommending its
passage" and yet upon such report the
House was asked to act upon measure
whose certain effect was to increase ma
tional bank circulation to the extent of
S2O,OOO,OOO, and whose possible effect was to
increase it to the extent of more than $780,
100000.
A FURTHER POINT OF ORDER.
Mr.. Bland, Of Missouri, made the further
point of order that the bill must receive its
first consideration in committee of the
whole.
The Speaker overruled both points of
order-Mr. Weaver's on the ground that it
was not within the province of the chair to
decide upon the sutficency of the report,
and Mr.. Bland's on the ground that the bill
made no appropriation of money.
MIR. Wilkins stated that under this meas
ure national banks, if they saw fit, might
increase their circulation to the extent of 10
per cent There was in the Treasury as Sc
curity for the circulation of S167 900, 900,
United States bonds to the amount of $780,
OOO,O0O. If this bill should become a law
the circulation of national banks would be
increased in round numbers $21 100000.
PRESSED TO TEST VOTE.
Mr.. wilkins offered to yield the floor to
any gentleman who desired to discuss the
measure, but its antagonists, notably
MeSsrs. Anderson, of Kansas, Brumm, Of
Pennsylvania, Bland, of Missouri, and
Weaver, of Iowa, demanded recognition i'll
their own right. Mr.. Wilkins then at
tempted to effect a compromise, Offering to
allow the debate to continue throughout
the day, provided that the pre-
viouS question might be ordered tomorrow.
This being objected to Mr. W ilkins demanded
the previous question on the third reading
of the bill. On the division the vote was
ll3 to 80 in favor of sustaining the demand,
and the yeas ami nays were ordered, pend
ing which the opponents of the bill resorted
to tilibustering tactics Motions to adjourn,
and to adjourn to a certain day consumed
the remainder of the morning hour, in
which the bill was being considered, and
the matter went over. 1t will probably be
further considered tomorrow.
