 WASHINGTON, April 14-Robertson of Louisiana, from the committee on mili- tary affairs reported bill for the relief of soldiers and sailors who enlisted and and served ID the army or navy during the rebellion under assumed names. Pat On house calendar.
 G-1I1n.r ..H Na- H,-,.Ls-. the committee on invalid pensions, re- ported s bill granting increased pensions to soldiers who have lost both hands. Referred to committee of the whole,
 Perkins. ot Kansas, said the bill pre- sented no Legislation. bus it dId contain provision for the payment of the Choc- tsw jud9emeDt. This judgment amount ing to S2OO,0OO was now drsEing five per cent interest, and be could see no relief for the government except sn act of repudis,ion.
 Then passing from the subject of h. disns Perkins addressed himself to the tariff question. He crItIsed the recent speech made by Nelson, of Minnesota, and proceeded tO argue that the wealth of the country was due in great de- gree ti the system of protection. He critised Mills bill because upon ex- animation he found that almost every article raised by American farmers was upon the free list, while whatever pro tection WAS left was for capital. The bIll might be considered a report to the house by the representatives of the southern states, and when the Rntece- dents of the-s gen -lemea and the con gictlon. they have heretofore entertain e was considered. It was not remRrka- hle t5ey had made DO provision for ls- bOr' A few years ago they had con tended capital should own its labor, should lash its lsbor, should sell it's la Dor. He sent 10 the clerks desk and had cad for the purpose of showing southern sentiment on the subject of free trade and labor, extracts from the constitution.
 Contiuuing, Perkins criticised the Mills bill as striking down the products of the field and putting the lsbOrers of of America m competition with the la- borers of the Old World, excsp pt perhaps l in tEe case of the rice growers of the | south and the cotton growers, who get | their iron bands free of duty, while the | northern farmer must pay duty Ou hoop | iron for hopping his hay. He hoped ID | the coming debate there would be no b pccrBcy, that the mask would be re- moved and the hidsOus farce of free trade exposed with all its deformIties. | While the Townshends and Springers | had been allowed to ind dlge in plstiudes, the gentleman from the south had been | to sit still, but be hoped | that now they would demand to be heard. Alter they had fihbustered | against the bill which proposed to pay | seventeen millions to the northern | states it was right that the democratic | house should surrender 10 them.
 Allen, Of Mississippi. thought 1t was 8 pity that Perkins could not get his head | put of the dark cupboard and walk | 'qusrely up to the paces of to-day in- ,tesd of going back to slavery and re- oellion. IL wss to the credit of the | democrats of the house that they had | something better to talk about than the | ssues that had been dead 9 years, and | f any democrat had nothing to talk | .bout but desd issues. he hoped be would | )e expelled from the democratic side | md made to take a sOat beside the gen leman from Ksnsas, where be could | tick his nose into the cupboard, where Perkins mad his. No man on the ways | nd means committee was in favor of lave labor, They had sll had as much espect for white labor ID this country as lad the gentleman from Kansas, or any other person who would vote against be bill.
 How about black lsbor?" asked Per Iibs.
 "It as free and indepenesnt as the white labor iu Kansas" said Allen.
 How about votingg" asked Perkins.
 McMlllin, of Tennessee, replied: They Iote as they please"
 Perkins-"How about the chain gangs D Arkansas and Texas?'
 AIlen-There is no law in Mississippi ,r Arkansas that does not consign white elons to the chain gang just ss quickly ls black one"
 Joseph, of New Mexico, addressed the committee ID favor of the admission of New Mexico ss state into the union. He pointed out the efforts heretofore put forth in the territory to secure state ,ood, and states that the population. re- ources and character of the people were uch as ensitled it to immediate sdmIs- ion into the Union on an equal footing with tbe original states He referred to he statements contained in the minori- " report of the house comuiite on ter .itories. and entered n solemn protest against the character ot the people of New Mexico. The people were honest. Yirtuous, intelligent, and as capable of ielf-governmeut as were the people of ,ther sections of the country. The In- iian bill was then dOnsidered by sec ions. without finishing.
