CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.
The Senate.

WASHINGTON, April 30th.-In the Senate
to-day bill was reported and placed on
the calendar fixing the salaries of the sew
eral judges of the United States District
Court at 5000, Mr.. Coke dissenting.
Among the bills introduced and referred
were the following:
By Dawes-To authorize the Secretary of
the Interior to fix the amount of compen-
sation to be paid for the right of way for
railroads in Indian reservations in certain
contingencies.
By StewaTt-To require the purchase and
coinage of not less than 100000 worth of
silver bullion per month. He said the bill
involved no new principles, and asked that
it be read the first and second time and laid
on the table. So ordered
The Senate then proceeded to the consid-
Grafton of the railroad land forfeiture bill,
and several minor amendments were
adopted.
The international copyright bill was then
taken up, and was opposed by Beck and
favored by Vest.
After some debate the Senate adjourned.
The House.
WASHINGTON, April 30th-The House
this morning went into Committee of the
Whole on the tariff bill.
Grosvenor of Ohio took the floor. 1t was
strange, he said, that the Democratic party
had arrayed itself, led byan amateurs tates-
man. the President of the United States.
in defense of the internal revenue system,
and suddenly that the Democratic party
had become the champion of that system.
For twenty years gentlemen representing
the Southern States had not only de-
nouneed the general system of internal
revenue, but had opposed all efforts of the

thoroughly educated the people of the
South into the belief that the system was
tyTannous. They had builded I'D q great
sentiment in the South-that to defeat, and
violate, and destroy that system by fraud,
ana violence, and bloodshed, and murder,
was but the assertion of the God-given
right of rebellion against the tyranaieal
exaetness of o tyrannical Government
Now the Democratic party, directed by s.
message of the President. had ordained
that the most sacred monument of taxation
in the country was now. and must be in
the future. ths internal revenue system.
Raynor of Maryland did not think the
duty on glass should be reduced 10 the ex-
tent proposed in the bill, but there would
be plenty of duty left to make up for all
the differences in the rates of wages here
and abroad, and if any glass manufactures
put down the wages he would be using the
bill as 60 pretext for expressing his en-
ployes. But, no matter how the bill came
from the Democratic party, he would vote
for it. fApplause.1
N.ltting regretted TO hear the gentleman
say that although there was wrong in s
bill which put thousands of laborers at q
disadvantage, he should vote for it.
Henderson OF Iowa said the President
had thrown the gauntlet at the feet of pro
lection and stood boldly up IS the cham
pion of free trade. He criticised the bill a:
cripplIng where it should support, anC
tearing down where it should build up.
