PASSING THE SUNDRY CIVIL BILL.
POSED OF BY TIE SENATE


POSED OF BY THE SENATE
Washington, Aug. / CspeciaD.-The Senate after
nearly weeks discussion, passed to-day the sundry
Civl Appropriation bill 1t succeeded in doing this
after having listened for two hours 10 a speech
by Mr.. Call, Of Florida in defence of his amendment
TO appropriate $4,000 to be used in locating prop
crty that belonged to the late rebel States. There
was scarcely anybody In favor Of such amendment
In fact the Older Senators remembered perfectly well
an investigation OF a similar kind instituted a few
years after the close of the which resulted in
nothing, and abandoned before It fairly began its
task According TO Senator Calrs information there
IS some S3O,0OO000 of property formerly belong
ing TO the Confederate Government now held by
parties who have claim TO it. II is his idea that
such property should be recovered and sold and its
proceeds turned into the United states Treasury lie
has been made to believe that there were a number OF
ships, now plying between British ports, which were
purchased and paid for by the Confederate Govern
mcnt, but upon the collapse OF the Rebellion they
held by persons who have since put them to their
The absurdty of such statement and Of Mr.. Calls
figures was shown by Mr.. Reagan, of Texas. In the
schedule presented to Mr. Call by man. who evident
ly seeks TO be employed of the fund of $4,000
to be appropriated by Congress, appears certain
fouadrics and iron works In Marion County, Tex. Mr..
Reagan showed that at the time these works were
said to have been I'm the possession of the Rebel Gov
ernmcnt there was not even railroad running through
the county There were iron works. It is true, but
they were then as they are now, in the possession
Of private parties.
Mr. Edmunds treated Mr.. Calls proposition. much
TO the disgust Of the latter, huge Joke.
Mr. Gibson, OF Louisiana, who was one OF the Com
mission on the part of the late socaled Confederate
states surrcnderng OF the three Rebel armies at
the close Of the war; asserted that everything had been
surrendered In good faith
Rather than submit his amendment to vote, Mr..
Call withdrew IT altogether, after having made a speech
in the praise of the late Confederacy which pleased
his colleagues, though could not induce them to sup
port his proposition.
shortly afterward Mr.. Evarts succeeded IN having
an amendment adopted approprating $50, 900 for the
completion of the monument erected at Washington
Headquarters in Newburg He also secured the adop-
tiOn OF another amendment approprfating $500 for
the purchase Of unfinished picture by Benjamin
West, representing the Commission which negotiated
the final Treaty of Peace, at Paris, between this
country and Great Britain.

SOME ABSURD RCMORS.
Washington Aug. l tspcciaD.-Thc Finance Commit
tee Of the Senate continues to give hearings TO manu-
facters and workngmen Interested in the revision Of
the tariff. II heard to-day representatives Of lneoleum
manufacturers and pottery men. It IS now stated
that the bin will be ready TO lie reported TO the
Senate until the end of the next week The desire OF
Republicans Of course, is 10 prepare perfect Dill
as possible For obvious reasons the more cOnsldcra-
ton given the measure IN committee the less Will it
call for debate in the Senate.
Some absurd rumOrs were anoat to-day 10 the effect
that the deliberate in which the subcommittee
was working had for It's object the simple placing Of
the bill upon the calendar and that there was no
intention of pressing It 10 vote In the Senate this
session. Another equally absurd rumor was thai the
majority OF the Finance Committee is dawlins Win the
bin in order that it may undergo a revision by Mr.
Blaine after his arrival in the United States and
before It IS submitted TO the Senate. This seems 10
BE- another Blaine plot. There l. no foundation for
such rumOrs. however. except what may exist IN the
Imagination OF the Democrats.
