WASHINGTON CRY. Dec. 1o.-The debate
in the house yesterday on the SEN
ate resolution looking to the re-
moval of the remains of Gen. Grant to
Arlington from New York city was
decidedly spirited The New York men,
bsrs to a man denounced the proposed &c
ton, and gave Pennsylvanians, whose rep
resentatives In the house backed the meas
ure, a considerable turning over. Quinn
of New York declared that there was not
an atom of patriotism In the resolution
Gen. Grant lay in one of the grandest
spots that ever hero slept in Complaint
was made that New York had not sub
scribed money enough to build monu-
ment While New York was receiving
subscriptions for the monument the terri
BILE disaster at Johnstown had occurred
New York had lost sight of the monu-
ment, but she had not lost sight of the
suffering and distress at Johnstown, and
had made contributions with a liberal
hand
The Resolution an Insult.
Flower next got the foor He said that
it had been Gen. Grants wish before he
died that he be buried beside his wife.
Mrs. Grant had chosen New York, and
| New York had presented her tomb that
was equal to the tomb of any president
save that of Garfield aud Lincoln. This
resolution insulted not only Mrs. Grant,
| but the great city of New York, which was
always ready to relieve the sufferings of
humanity the world over The resolution
was an insult TO Gen. Grant and to the G.
| A. r.. and TO every man who had relative

lie.
whack at the Keystone state.
Raiues of New York said that this reso-
luton came with very bad grace from
the gentleman from Pennsylvania
! (ONeilD, when he remembered that when
Pennsylvania was trembling with fear.
| the citizens of New York rushed TO her res
cue. New York had spent more than
| 10000 TO decorate the soil of Pennsyl-
vania with monuments To her defenders.
| The records spoke; and Ii lay not in the
mouth of Pennsylvania TO detract from
the courage, or impeach the patriotism of
| the state of New York
| ssvored of Envy and Raneor.
Cummings said that the proposal meant
1 dissertation and savored OF envy and ran
cor To move Gen Grants remains under
the specious plea that Gen Grant belonged
to the nation only added TO the outrage.
The miserable presumption that they did
would open the tomb of Washington at
Mount Vernon and the memorable sar-
cophagus at Springfield Men were usu-
ally buried at their homes Washington,
Lafayette, Garibaldi and Gambetti had
been buried at their homes. Ericsson had
been buried. not at the capital of Sweden,
but al his own home. Those who charged
| New York with being dilatory should re-
member that it had taken more than a
| quarter OF century to complete Bunker
Hill monument, and that half century
| had passed before the erection of the
| Washington monument.
| Pennsylvania Men Reply.
| O'Seill of Pennsylvania said that gem
| tlemen might call this infamy; but if they
could call the roll of the dead in Airing
ton, there was not one soldier who would
not respond in favor of the measure This
was not an interference with the family of
Gen. Grant. TO speak of it in that way
was begging the question. Bingham of
| Pennsylvania said that he would be I'M
just to his state and to his associates dur
ing the war if he did not pronounce his
| condemnation OF some OF the statements
made. II was true that during the fearful
days of Gettysburg the New York reci-
ments had fought calamity, but in doing
so they had fought for New York as well
as for Pennsylvania. He regretted that
the Johnstown disaster had been put for
ward as reason why New York had not
raised q great sum OF money to complete
| the Grant monument.
| Others for an Against
Among the Others who took part in the
debate, Cutcheon favored the resolution
| on the ground that Grant belonged to the
| whole country Cannon took the same
| view; 50 did Dunnell of Minnesota, while
Mason OF Illinois thought the ''Old Com
| mander's" bones should rest where they
had been laid. The closing speech was
made by Farquhar of New York, who pro-
tested against the transfer as Repub-
lican representative. as personal friend
of Gen. Grant and family, and as a SOL
dier Of the republic.
