CONGRESSIONAL.
SENATE.

WAsHINGToN, July 1.-THE senate re
sumed consideration of the conference
report ON the silver bill, and was address
ed by Morgan in opposition to the report
Morgan went on to speak of the fact
that legislation on all important matters
is being now controlled by conference
committees. These were committees OF
arbitration, whose proceedings were Sc
cret, so that if such committees were
bribed to the extent of 500, 900, nc
senator would be permitted to find it out
This statement was challenged, and
caused some side talk between Morgan
Allison and Sherman.
Morgan resumed his argument against
the conference bill He called the atten-
ton Of friends of free coinage, particularly
the senator from Colorado (Teller) to the
fact that the same "fne Italian hand''
which had framed the act Of 1873 had
operated in the conferegce bill, to destroy
utterly any hope of reconciliation OF
silver as long as it remained unrepealed.
The senate adopted the conference re-
port on the silver bill-yeas 80, nays 26.
HOUSE.
In the house the Democratic program
On the conference bill was carried out by
Cultivate, OF Ohio, raising point Of
order that no quorum was present. The
speaker glanced over the array OF empty
seats and responded dryly "the point is
well taken"
McCreary, OF Kentucky, moved call
Of the house. He was not sustained by
his party colleagues, however, and on a
viva voice vote the motion appeared lost.
Allen, of Michigan, demanded the yeas
and nays. The vote resulted-yeas, III !;
nays, 70. One hundred members were
announced as paired on this vote.
A quorum having been appeared, Nc
Creary moved to dispense with further
proceedings under the call, but was antag-
onized by his own side of the house, and
on demand Of Bynum, of Indiana, the
yeas and nays were ordered.
Further proceedings were dispensed
with-yeas, 1873; nays, SO, and the
journal of yesterdays proceedings was
read.
Enioe, of Tennessee, asked to have the
journal corrected, in that it recorded that
on a certain vote he was present, and
not voting. He has not present at any
time during the vote.
Rogers, of Arkansas, made this the text
for an attack on the speaker. "a few
days ago." he said, "the house listened
to speeches on free ballot and fair count.
Why fair count could not be obtained
in the house!" He then proceeded to
quote from, and comment upon Speaker
Reeds article in the North American Re-
view, on the contested elections. He re-
gafded the article as an apology for the
elections committee. Commenting on the
fact the recently seated members had
voted for the federal bill, he said he was
reminded of the scriptural quotations.
"Well done thou good and faithful SER
want. Enter thou into the service OF the
Lord"
The journal was then amended as sug-
gested by Enloe.
