ton reciting the newspaper report that Cham
beers, United States District Attorney st Ind IAN
apolis had interfered in his official capacity TO
prevent the arrest of W. W. Dudley on charge
of feloniously violating the election laws of IN
diana at the last Presidential election directing
the Attorney-General to report what instruc-
tons the Department OF Justice issued to Cham
bers on the subject, and furnish copies of CORE
spondence.
He asked that the resolution be laid over IN
I'll tomorrow, when he would submit remarks
upon it.
Edmunds said: That's right. lam in favor
of the substance of it,"
The resolution went over
Morgan proceeded to address the Senate on
the subject OF the bill heretofore introduced bv
Butler to provide for the emigration of persons
OF color from the Southern States He had
reached the conclusion that there was a natural
1ncongruity and an irrepressibIe conflict he
tween the races. The return of the negro race
TO Africa was the only solution of the problem,
Morgan, IN addressing the Senate, said that it
was unaenlaoie that the aversion between the
Two races had greatly increased since slavery
was abolished, and 1t would increase SO long as
large portion of the population was of the
African race. Experience would not permit
the statement that such q feeling OF aversion
existed only in the South. 1t was not so Intense
III the South as it was in the North. II was not
SO strong between the negro and his former
master as 1t was between the negro and those
who never owned slaves. Separation of the
races was the only thing that would extinguish
race aversion. In Africa the negro could grow
up TO the null measure of his destiny Slavery,
G Mofgan sac, would be abolished in
left to the whites it would be a
slow process, but the American negro would
accomplish it, if he dwelt among those people
In summing up his speech Mosgan pointed to
the fact that the negroes had no Chance to rise
IN this country. Political influence would
never lit the negro race in this country above
It's present level. On the contrary, the friction
and collision caused by the neyro's use of the
ballet would create more and more enmity
against the negro race. He (Morgan) looked
forward to the establishment OF a free repub-
ilcali government IN the Congo region by the
influence OF America or American negroes
VINO would thus be redeemers and regcnerators
of their fatherland.
A message from the President, in relation to
the claim of the widow of John Paul a German
subject, arising out of his death at Wilmington
North Carolina, and recommending an sppro-
priation of 5000, was presented to the Senate
and referred.

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
WASHINGTON, January 7th--There was an
unusually small number of members present
when the House was called to order to-day.
Inc Speaker stated to the House that Sin &C
cordanee with the authority vested In him yes
terday, he had administered the oath of Office
to Samuel j. Randall of Pennsylvania.
McComas of Maryland offered a resolution
that the House resolve itself into a Committee
OF the Whole for the consideration of the Dis
trict of Columbia Appropriation bill, the COM
mlttee TO be governed by the rules of the last
congress. breckenridge raised the question of
consideration against the resolution, and the
Speaker ruled that the question of consideration
could not be raised against resolution because
a resolution was in the nature ofa motion regu-
lating the business of the House. Breckenridge
said that the resolution went further than that,
and provided for the adoption of a code OF rules.
He appealed from the decision, and Carlisle of
Kentucky vigorously attacked tina Speakers
ArRnpd n H.
Grafton could be taken against a motion to 20
into Committee of the Whole but the pending
resolution went far beyond that and provided
for code of rules. He thought that the time
had come when the House, if it was to be gov
erned by ru es, should have those rules. There
was great applause on the Democratic side at
the conc. usiOn of Carlise's speech.
The discussion continued at length and was
participated in by Crisp of Geer. ia, Bland OF
Missouri and Mckinley of Ohio
Henderson Of Iowa, said that as he understood
the matter, the gentlemen on the other side
were opposed to doing anything Without rules,
and wanted rules adopted under which nothing
could be done. The M iOrlty was charged with
trying to ravlsh the other side without rules.
How? By proposing TO consider and pass the
bills on the calendar under rules made by
Democratic House. Was that rayishment? He
wanted the Republican members TO come up
shoulder to shoulder and show they were ready
to do the business of the country. Let the Com
mittee on Rules take its time and bring in a
code which would advance and not obstruct
business.
McAdoo of New Jersey regarded the debate
as preliminary skirmish on the part of the
majority in order to see whether the minority
could be starved out and made to take any
rules which might be presented. 1t was the
duty of the minority to stand here until the end
of Congress, like a single man, to maintain
their rights and dignity.
After protracted discussion the decision of
the Chair was sustained by a vote OF yeas, 1856;
nays, ia, party vote.
McComas then demanded the previous cues
ton on the adoption of his resolution and it was
ordered yeas, ii; nays, 122.
No further opposition to the resolution was
made by tie democrats. and it having been
adopted, the House went into Committee of
the Whole for the consideration OF the district
bill.
sOnly the first paragraph was considered, when
the Committee rose and The House adjourned
