The remainder of the day was spent In COM
nnittes of the whole in discussion OF Dill for
the payment OF claim OF 500 for the occupa-
ton Of certain property in Memphis By the
United States troops In 1864. It was opposed
by Mr. Grosvenor, of OHIO, Mr.. Thomas, OF
Wisconsin. and Mr. Brewer, of Michigan. and
advocated by Mr. Richardson, OF Tennessee.
Mr.. Allen, Of Michigan. said the gentlemen on
the Democratic side had settled two things.
First, that they would not allow the loyal
States to receive back their share of the direct
tax, and second, that the Southern States
should not be required to pay their share. he
would, therefore, suggest that all claims Of the
character OF the ono pending should be put up
as set-offssagainst the direct tax owned BY the
Southern States.
MT. Richardson replied that q day hdd Deen
fixed for consideration of the direct-tax bill If
the gentlemen thought it was not good policy to
pay these war-ciaims. why had his party, IN
1864. passed q law for the payment OF such
claims to loya! personsl
ldr. Allen replied that IN 1864 he had no idea
that Congress was doing anything Of the kind.
He had been in Tennessee at that time, attend
ing other business.
Mr.. Lanham. of Texas, hoped that gentlemen
would not ''fritter away the time of the House
in discussing the direc.-tax bill, while small
private bill was nnder consideration
Mr. Montgomery, of Kentucky, appealed to
the House not TO prevent consideration OF pri-
vats claims on the calendar by talking away
every Friday. He had constituents who, during
the war, had differed from him in sentiment,
and who o-day differed from him In politics.
and who were before Congress as loyal claim
ants. He would vote for the payment of the
claim of every loyal The quality of 10y
atty ought not to be testsd by the locality in
which the claimant lived during the war, but if
1t were so tested the quality of the loyalty of
citizens of Tennessee and Kentucky ought to be
placed higher than that of those who lived
where il had been perfectly safe to be loyal.
No action taken the bill. The House
then took a recess till 1880, the evening session
to be for consideration of private pension bills.

Carneeie's Employees.

PITTsBURG, April ia meeting of the con-
ference committees who represent the striking
employees of the Edgar Thomson steel works was
held at Braddock, to-day. at which it was report
ed it was decided to ask for conference with
their employers tomorrow. Father Hickey and
Rev. Boyle were present, and indorsed the action
of the committee. In the Pittsburg MEM
bers of the firm decline to meet them, a COM
mittee will be sent to New York to confer with
MIR. Carnegie personally. IT is stated that at the
meeting to-day the committee decided not to ask
for the eight-hour system, but to accept Mr..
Carnegie's proposition a whole. However,
this could not be verified. The scurrilous at
tack on Father Hickey aud Andrew Carnegie in
the circular issued yesterday is still the subject
of comment. Father Hickey says that tho cir
cular was issued solely to injure him, and was
started to create feeling of differences between
the Protestants and Catholics and the union
and non-union men. AS matters stand now,
there is chance for differences, either politi-
cal or religious. He also THINKS Mr.. Carnegie
has been greatly abused without any cause
