Although the democrats claimed a quo

morning 1t was certainly not mustered at
larger than usual Mr.. Fitch, n. Y, chair
man of the committee on the election of the
President and Vice President. was early in
the hall, as were also Tucker. Va. and
Burrows, Mich. After the approval of the
journal Sly Flynn, Oklohoma, asked con-
sent for the consideration of a resolution,
reciting that the settlers of the Cherokee
strip had been shot down by United States
soldiers, and requesting the Secretary OF
War to inform the House as to the circum-
stances, and show by what authority the
troops were acting. He said that the rules
and regulations of the administration rela-
tive to the opening of the Cherokee strip
had been a disgrace to the civilization OF
the nineteenth century. and the capstone or
that disgrace was that after keeping set
tiers where they could procure no water the
strong arm of the military hao peen cameo
in, and the soldiers had been allowed to
shoot down inoffensive men. Tucker. Va
objected to the resolution.
The Call of Committees.
The Speaker directed the clerk to call the
committees for reports. whereupon MI
Burrows, in his dulcet tones. addressed the
House. He said that he had no idea that
there would be any objection to dispensing
with the call of committees with leave to
members having reports to make to file
them with the clerk. except such reports as
related to the federal election laws. AS
these oily words fell from Mr.. Bur-
rows lips Mr.. Tucker smilingly shook his
head and Mr.. Fitch arose and objected.
Mr.. Burrows in marked establishment said
that he would be compelled to ask to dis
pense with the call and made motion to
that effect. The vote resulted: Yeas, o.;
nays. 173: five less than a quorum. Mr.
Fitch moved q call of the House Mr.
Fitch's motion was agreed to. Nays. O.:

COMMISSIONER MURPHY.

We have Congratulated the comrades upon
the appointment of Mr.. Dominic /. Murphy
as Deputy Commissioner of Pensions, be-
cause we know there Is no man in the coun-
try more familiar with the interior workings
of the Pension Bureau than he. He is an
exceedingly competent man, who has yir-
tually grown up in the Pension Bureau, and
in the various positions he has filled has
been able to fully master every detail of the
Office work. That with his well-known
executive ability he will be able to greatly
expedite the work Of settling claims there
is not a shadow of doubt We expect great
results In direction from him, and also from
the sound advice he will be able to give his
chief
Mr.. Murphy has been fully aware of the
bitter hardships to great numbers of soldiers
from the unnecessary and unreasonable
delays in the adjudication of claims. In
public speeches made in New York, New
Jersey, ard elsewhere, he has dwelt strongly
but not too strongly by any means-upon
the cruel fact that there are hundreds of thou
sands of claims hanging up in the Pension
Bureau for years, while the claimants are
dying off by thousands every month.
He has expatiated in glowing terms upon
the advantages which would result from the
election Of Mr.. Cleveland and total change
In the management Of the Pension Bureau.
No one has said more, or more effectively, on
this interesting subject than he.
Now Mr.. Murphy has rare opportunity
to demonstrate the truth Of his own DECLARE
tons. 1t is an opportunity which all men
covet for realizing their ideas and carry ing
out reforms they long to see made. He has
the power to immensely accelerate the trans
action of business in the Pension Bureau, and
hasten the settlement Of long stznding claims.
He can readily estimate the progress he is
making in this direction by constant COM
parison with the work done under the pre-
ceding Administration.
Mr.. Murphy, the eyes Of the veterans and
the country are upon you. Take your coat
off and

In the Spring of 1862, after The successes
nj Fort DoneIson and elsewhere made it
seem likely that the rebellion weuld soen
be crushed, the Secretary Of the Treasury
was authorized to borrow $500,0OO000 more
for the purpose Of winding UP the war. He
wisely made this q popular loan, and asked
the fathers and mothers of those who were
fighting for the country to take it. The
bonds were made of small dimensions to en-
able them to do so. They responded with
snch alscrity that the Secretary soon received
S11 600, 900 more than be was authorized to
borrow, and had to have additional legisla-
ton to enable him to aeeept it. The inter
est on this was 6 per cent. in gold In the
meanwhile the Government was putting out
hundreds of millions of paper money in
various shapes.
The reverses in the early part Of the Sum-
mer Of 1862 made it necessary to call for
| 3e0G coo more men for three years, and 42l,-
465 were furnished for three years, besides
| 81 588 Cor nine months.
| Toward the last of 1862 it was clearly
seen that the struggle Was TO be prolonged
one, and the Secretary estimated, in his re-
port dated Dec. A, that he would have to
have $622, 388, i54, III addition to the reve-
nue. receipts, to meet the expenditures OF
tbs coming fiscal year. The bill introduced
in Congress to provide this sum, in the
words of Thad Stevens, produced howl
among the money changers As hideous as
that sent forth by their Jewish cousins
