IN THE HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, August 4th.-This morning the
House went into Committee of the Whole on
the general deficiency appropriation bill.
Anderson of Iowa explained that the Pacific
railroad claims were not provided for in the
bill. While he believed that the time was near
at hand when these claims wonld have to be
settled, the committee had been practically
unanimous in refusing to provide for their pay
ment, when they were still pending in the
Courts of the county.
Rogers of Arkansas attacked the Speaker and
his rulings The Code of Rules. he said. under
which the House was proceeding gave the
Speaker power TO sti1e debate, gag the House,
force the passage of bills and mistreat the mi
nority and bulldoze the msjority. He had de-
luded the majority with the full assurance on
the part OF the Republican members that IL this
scheme should break down, under the judg-
ment OF libertS-loving people, they would
perch like Samson under the ruins but II il
succeeded, that he alone should reap all glory
Their want of patriotic courage was exceeded
only by their suicidal stupidity, and among
them all there had not been found one man
with the courage of a Jackson, the patriotism OF
Henry and the love of liberty that inspired
the fai hers who could say, This is our country:
these are our liberties; these are our country
men and you are our servants. and We will not
have one trodden down under feet or otherwise
outraged or wronged." tell you, Mr. Speaker,
that they curse you, and despise YOU and hate
you, and when you are assailed in private and
in public they are silent
Henderson of Iowa defended the Speaker
against the attack made upon him by Rogers.
He referred to him as the mighty man from
Maine, and declared that he stood to-day. as to-
morrow. the grand figure of this age Of legis-
lative victory and reforms. Commenting on
the legislation OF this session, Henderson
touched upon the tariff bill, saying that al
though some of the Republicans might have de.
sired to amend it, by reason of the organ
lied opposition on the other side the time
had been so consumed that those amendments
could not be made. 1t seemed as though the
minority was bent on preventing all amend
ments. This House had passed the silver bill.
whereby silver was already marching forward
to take its place beside gold This House had
been the first one with the courage and patriot
ism to pass an antitrust bill. 1t had passed the
election bill, aud the original package bill. The
Republicans OF the House had erected a pyra-
mid of legislation.
Breckenridge of Arkansas criticised the code
of rules, and proceeded to contrast the persc nal
and political relation which existed between
Speaker Carlisle and the members and that
which existed between the members and
Speaker Reed. In the last Congress the mem.
bers OF the minority had always been treated
courteously Now member OF the minority
rising for recognition did not know what treat
ment he would receive at the hands OF the
Speaker. He then proceeded to make an earn
est appeal against the force BILL concluding as
follows. Gentlemen of the North, why should
not we come together? Why cannot you lay
aside these suspicious? You cannot take your
rotten burroughs from the South. You cannot
hold the power here by merceDaries put at the
polls. You cannot keep political power by de-
bauching the ballot.box or jury-box You can
not make the country one by turning out men,
bers who are elected by the people and seating
those not elected by your votes What you can
do is this: You can aid the people of the South
to build up that country; you can help
us keep in the line of a progressive
march, so that your SONS may come
and live among us, throw in their lot with
ours, and intermarry in our families, so that
while there will still be a North and South, it
will be loving and rich North, a prosperous
and patriotic South. That is what we Demo-
Gratis, who on this side of the Chamber protest
against your rules, desire to have done by the
people who are behind you at home"
Pending action on the bill the committee
rose, and the House adjourned.
