short OF meeting the necessary expenditures
for the fiscal year 1883, and large
dehciencies for the postoffice department.
and for other departments Of the govern
ment would be necessary at the next
session. For instance. the appropriation for
the United States courts WAS about 81, 900,
O0O less than was necessary, and that was
true IN regard to the other departments of
the government. He was not saying these
things in adverse criticism.
GoRMAN MAKES A STATEMENT.
Mr.. German, a member OF the COMMITTEES
on appropriations commended the chair
man OF that committee for his fair and can
did statement. The fact remained, how
ever. that the appropriations at this session
would exceed $500, 000,00 Notwithstanding
the extraordinary efforts of the House Of
Representatives to keep them within re ason-
able bounds. 1t was not altogether party
matter; for these immense appropriations
were partly made necessary because of the
growth OF the country, extension of the
postal service and extension OF the pension
system and other permanent and necessary
expenditures, for which neither party should
be held responsible. OF the immense sum of
SoO7OOO, 900 appropriated at the present ses-
sion, $50, OO0. 900 had become necessary be-
cause OF legislation Of the Fifty. first con-
gress, a congress for which the Democratic
party had no responsibility. Twenty
millions OF that $50 100000 had
come from pensions alone. The
appropriation for pensions at the next
session. would be at least $50, 900 900 more
tdan at the present session; and he doubted
very much If it would be possible 70 have
the appropriations reduced next session
much below $500, 0O0, 900 He believed that
congress would be compelled to levy other
and additional taxes to meet the require
ments OF the treasury. He believed that that
time would come before the end OF the fiscal
year 1893; and then be had no doubt
that both parties being brought so
sharply face to face with the people, would
md some methods by which those immense
expenditures would be reduced.
Some remarks were made on the same
subject by Mr. Cockrell.
AT 1920 O'Clock D. m. the signature OF the
Vice President TO the sundry civil bill was
announced. The resolution for final ad-
tournament at IL O'Clock tonight was re-
ported by Mr.. Allison and agreed to.
On motion or Mr.. Allison a committee Of
two senators was appointed (Messrs Allison
and GormRn) to join a like committee on
the part OF the House to Inform the Presi-
dent that unless he had further communica-
ton to make the two houses were now
ready to adjourn.
RESOLUTIONS OF THANKS.
Resolutions were offered by Merss Har-
Senate to Vice-President Morton aud to
President pro tenn Henderson for the digni-
fled, impartial and courteous manner in
which they had, ssverally, presided over its
deliberations.
AT l0:55 o'clock p. M, Mr.. Allison of the
committee to wait upon the President, re-
ported that the committee had performed
that duty and had been informed by the
President that he had no further communi-
cation to make TO either house. From this
moment OF time until the hands on the dial
OF the clock pointed to IL O'Clock D. NJ. there
was an entire cessation OF business, and
senators and spectators waited rather inl-
patiently for the closing scene. This came
when Vice President Morton rising made
his farewell speech to the Senate as fol-
lows:
