and no pension Obligations 10 meet, and no
f; other use for the revenue except TO delray

eminent. No one would say that duty OF
/ 40 Der cent. or OF 100 per cent ought 10 be

sane asylum. How, be asked, was the ques'
/ tion 10 ba decidedl Two Republican sena'

and House give up the Mills bill, after tue
sanctions which Il bad received! IDat
question would soon be answered, aud his
/ conviction was that neither the House OH
/ nor the Senate bill would or could become
law OF the present Congress. Inc
only hope would have to be Iound IN
| the action OF the committee OF CONFER
ence. IL was manifest that 1t was the
| Organized purpose OF the Republicans OF
| the Senate 10 pass the substitute, and they
1 had shewn their ability and intention 10
/ pass II substantially as reported. When tue
| substitute went 10 the House, the House
! wouid not concur in il. and the bill wonld
| be seut 10 the conference committee OF the
/ two houses. lie declared himself protec-
/ ZIONIST In the sense Of extending help ana
1 encouragement 10 American Industry ny
DuttinR duties on articles in which there
! was foreign competition. aud that he claimed
/ 20 be In harmony with the position OF
/ the organized action of Democracy. The
/ difference between the two parties was
plain, fundamental, and irrecOncilaOle'
! The Democratic system OF protection TO home
/ industry was the true American system
/ that the tar1ff duties should be levied not for
revenue only, but for incidental protection
by discrimination between imports aud by
| adjustment and application. Butthe Ameri-
] can manufacturer had no right to ask, ana
| Congress had no authority TO give, any more
/ encouragement or protection than "oulo
make I'D the difference between the cost OF
| foreign aud American labor.
! Dcviating from the line OF tariff discussion,
Mr.. Pugh reverted to the race supremacy
| question, and said az 10 that, there would be
no compromise among the white people.
! Whoever was friend OF the white race IN
regard 10 the supremacy in government was
| his friend, irrespective OF politics; and who
ever was an enemy OF the white race on
| questions involving race supremacy was bis
]
| each other on the race question bad 10 be
| unf4lteriue, and had to prove itself in action,
! on the side OF maintaining the actual supreme
| cv OF the white race in the possession aud eX-
| eTc'se OF all governmental powers. Not that
/ any inferior race should suffer any deprlva-
| ton on detriment in the possession and en-
/ ioyment OF all personal and property rights
] but that, In matters OF civil government the
white men alone must rule in all parts OF this
! country. Such fidelity OF the while men 10
/ each other in the southern States for such
purposes bad been established under dire
necessity Of sei-preserVaiion, anG The white
men everywhere may rest assured that no
allurements Of Office and no difference az Ia
the tariff laws could ever degrade them 10
the recognition OF negro equality.
Mr.. Pugh then resumed the discussion Of
the tariff question, quoting extensively from
the testimony taken before the Blair commit
tee.
When he concluded. Mr.. Vance moved "a
amend paragraph 320. relating 10 stockings
By reducing the rate from 80 to 30 per cent
adj yaorem, and asked for the yeas and
nays.
Mr. Aldrich appealed to Mr.. Vance not Il
| demand the yeas and nays. az there was pro-
baby no quorum present and as he wished &c
get through the cotton schedule to-day; bu
! Mr.. Vance would not consent, as he did no
went the cotton schedule finished to-day.
The Senate then. having disposed o.
three and a hail pages OF the bill to-day, adj
iourned at 7. NJ.
House of Representative.
Mr.. Reed OF Maine, from the Committed
on Rules. reported a resolution PROVIDING
that during the remainder OF the present
! session af Congress there shall be no call o.
States and Territories on the first and thirt
MONDAYS OF each month. These Mondays
are what are known as supervision days, anC
the object OF the resolution rs to prevent the
opponents OF the Union Pacific funding
| measure and the oklahoma bill from Elibus
tering against the attempt to pass tho,C
measures under suspension OF tae rules bN
introducing yoiuminOus bills under call o.
States and consuming the day by demand
for their reading in full.
Nr. Reed demanded the previous question
on the adoption OF the resolution, which
called forth vigorous protest from Mr. An
der. on, OF Kansas, who has been one OF tht
chief ANTAGONISTS OF the Union Pacific bill
He asked that two hours debate be allowed
upon the resolution. but Mr. Reed declined
TO accede TO the request, on the grOIn1 tina
he had been instructed by his committee L
demand the previous question.
Mir. Randall, OF PENNSYLVANIA, memoo
OF the Committee on Rules, stated that there
had been a division IN the committee upoI
the resolution.
MIR. Anderson demanded the yeas anC
nnys on ordering the previous question
when no quorum voted the roll disclosing
ia votes in the affirmative and . in tn
negative. Mr.. Randall being the only mem
Der OF the Committee on Rules voting witt
the minority, A call OF the House was theI
ordered.
The call showed the presence OF III mem
bers, being eight more than quorum. BIZ
the margin was too narrow aud the proceed
ings under the call were not suspended.
The Sergeant-at- Arms was dispatched L
hunt up and arrest the absentees and th
House drowsily waited for him TO report
As this was not forthcoming by 2:30 O'Clock
Mr.. Anderson, Of Illinois, IN weariet
voice moved an adjournment When The
question was put large majority OF tho-
present. desIrouS OF escaping from the ha'
atmosphere which always hangs over th
chamber when the doors are closed, as the,
are under a call, responded with loud Ayes
but The yeas ana nays being ordered the mo
ton was defeated-yeas, 80; nays, l01.
Theu Mr.. Randall moved to suspend fur
Their proceedings under the call. This wa
defested-53 to 81.
Mir. Randall then suggested to Dir. ReeC
that as the resolution was privileged one
and could be called up at any time, he with
draw it until Tomorrow, and allow th
House 10 proceed TO-DAY TO the consideration
OF the river and harbor appropriation bill.
This Mr.. Reed refused 10 do, unless h
could receive assurance that there would b.
no Ahbusterlng against the resolution to
morrow, and as this assurance was not forth
coming. the suggestion ended In naueht
and, at 3:oj, the House, on motion OF Mr
Breckenridge, OF Kentucky, adjourned.
