Proceedings in Congress Yesterday. Special Despaich to The Chicago Tribune, ’ ‘WasmNGTON, Dec. 9. WEDDED TO THEIR IDOLS. It seems from the action of the House, to~ day, that there are still in that body 84 members who still cling to war issues. A bill came up to relieve the dissbilities of a Southern politician, named Lamar, who had been elected to the For- ty-third Congress from the Northeast District of Miesissippi. His application to Congress isa singular one, and closes as follows: Your memorialist would not seck for such special legislation in his favor if he was not, after due self-ex- amination, consclous of hia entire fidelity to the inter- ests and happiness of the people of the Dnited States, and the Constitution and 1aws thereof. There was scarcely & division on the motion to pass tho bill, and the instant it was out of the Wway, & Pennsylvania member 5prung a general Amnesty bill on the House, and moved to sus- pend the rules and put’ it on its passage. The Vote stood 102 in favor of suspending the rules and passing tho bill to 84 against. A two-thirds vote is required to suspend the rules, which was lacking in the vote to-dsy. Among those who voted sgainst amnesty were Ambler, Oskes Ames, Beatty, Beveridge (Ill.), Bingham, But- ler, Coburn, Dawes, Toster, Hawley, Maynard, Sprague, Monros, Peck, Snapp, Smith, and Up- son. Hevensand Parker were the only membera from Missouri Valley sgainst suspending the rules, Garfield and “Stevenson were the only Republicans from Ohfo who voted to suspend the rules. Farrell and Hay were the only Re- publicens from Illinois who voted on behalf of amnesty. This vote seems to settle amnesty in the House for this session, althoughit may come 8gain in & fuller honse, % THE UTAE DELEGATE. Geo. Q. Cannon, the Mormon Delegate-elect from Utah, says his voto was 20,969, while that of his ugponent Maxwell, was only 1,942, He hag no doubt of his admission, notwithstanding his plurality of wives. Hooper, the present Delogate, although a_ Mormon' in religion, does mot _practice it, and has but ome wife, while Cannon_ has three or four. Maxwell is now engaged in talt~ ing testimony, to bein readiness for his con- tested case at the next Congress. Heo bases his claim to a seat on the ground of gross intimida~ tion of voters on the part of Cannon’s friends and the threats of death, unless they voted the Mormon ticket. THE ST. LOUIS POST OFFICE. Representative Wells, of Missouri, has had an interview with the President and Secrotary Boutwell, regarding the new public building for Bt. Louis, and from the siatements made, it would seem the amount provided for by Congress, $2,250,000, will be inadequate: for the purposes desired. An effort will therefore be o to incresse the sum to $4,000,000. The subject will be brought to the attention of the Commissioners on Public uildings and Grounds, and of Appropriations during the present week. THE NORTHERN PACIFIC. Mesgrs. Kaufmann, Sands, and Underwood, Commissioners who examined the Northern Pecific Railroad, have furnished their report, and it will be sworn to and sent to the Secretary of the Interior, to-morrow. Itis veg favorable to the road in every particular, and the report is unanimouns. It says that the road is judiciously located, that the track fills the requirements of the law, that the equipment is all that is neces- sary for the business of the road, that the build- ings are a.mgly suitablo, and that the iron used is of the first quality of American manufacture. TREASURY DEPOSITS. The bill which Representative Burch: of the Committee of Ways and Means, offered in the House to-day, limiting the-time for the de- positing in National B: of the proceeds of the sales of bonds under the Funding sct, was drawn up after consultation with the mostprom- inent members. Tho Secretary, in his interview with this Committes, submitted that negotia~ tions were now in progress for the ab- am\'iption of a part of the loan authorized, and expressed a desire that if there was any doubt 2s to his anthority to use the machinery of the National Bank act as heretofore employ- ed, that express nuthnri;y might be given him by specisl legislation. The real point was, that when the 5 per cent Joan was negotisted the proceeds realized therefrom were kept on deposit in the National Banks designated- longer then ninety days, which s the limit wunder the present Ilaw. The bill provides that when the Secrotary of the Treasury thall designate a National Bank or ‘banks as depositories for the reception of the proceeds of loans suthorized by law, such funds shall not be permitted toremain on deposit for & longer time than ninety dsys, nor without Ee- gurity to the full amount of such dx:iosit, end immediately on or before 0 issue of any bonds thus subscribed the ~Becrotary of the Treasury shall publish legal notice for the presentation and Tedemption of an equal amount of the bonds re- quired by existing bonds when redeemed. It is urged that withont the adoption of a bill like this there is practically no t tothe time those bonds can belkept on deposit. In this connection, it is officially stated that there are now severel responsible German bankers Who are anxious to_negotiate for taking the balance of E}.m 4and 5} per cents now already author- ize Tt is stated by his persggal § is stated by ‘personal friends that, on ‘Wednesday next, Secratary Delano will lesvg for Cubs, ostensibly for his “health, but really to look after political matters in that island, and see if somothing cannot bo done to arresh the civil war now in progress there. It is also further stated tha this visit will be made at the particular request of the President, who is rep- resented a8 being very desirous "of bringing about peace between Spainand the revolutionary Cubans, : THE BAYFIELD AND 6T. CBOIX LAND GRANT BILL ‘wes passed over to-day in the Senate, and re- sumes its old place in the calendar. The ques- tions to be decided by the Senate as to this schemeis: Will that body agree to the amend. ment of the House which virtually restores this gzm:?to the public domain for homestead settle- men SENATOR SUMNER'S OXE-TERM KESOLUTION ‘waa consigned to the tomb of the Capulets, to- day, by & reference to the Judiciary Commiltee. General Banks, however, in the House, has resumed the subject by a proposition to amend the Constitution in this direction, which doubles the salaries or tho President and Vice Presi- dent, extends the term of offce to six, instesd of four years, and makes the President ineligible Tor & second term. These officers are to be elected by the Electors qualified to vote in the election of Rep- resentatives to Congress in & manner hereafter t0 be pointed out. PROPOSED BEDUCTION OF THE INTERNAY, REVENUE FORCE. mitte has been called on Wednesdsy next for the purpoge of héaring the views of the Commissioner of Internsl Revenus:and others interested in the new bill for the reduction of the internal revenuo force, which passed the House with such unanimity last Friday. Five of the seven members of the Committes are al- ready committed to the support of the bill, and it is probable that- the Committee will make a unanimous report in favor of its passage at an early day. A'letter has been received here by Blacque Bey, the Turkish Minister of Finance of the Turkish Government, ssking s series of ques- tions in regard to the Pacific Railronds, their condition and management, ang their evailabili- iy to Mohammedan commercial intercsts. The letter has been translated, referred to the Setretary of the Interior, and Blacque Bey has preparel his. answer. One of the juestions may- be stated as follows: t are the facilities of the Pacific Railroads for the transportation of raw products ? In what manner are the Central Union & Northern Pacific Railroads constructed ? How is it that these roads mansge t0 carry freights at their present reduced rates and have large aing ? Would it be advissble for tfie kish Government to send its raw produce to the United States, snd {6 China via the Pacific Railroads, Undérstanding the desire of the Turkish Government to introduce our trans- Qontinental railway system into Turkey, Blague Bey's reply is confined namely to the second question, concerning the construction of the roads. accordance with suggestions fromthe Secretary of _the Interior, the il inister, in view of the fact that the tferritory of the two Turkeys for railroad pmgnses is very similar to that of the Central and Western portions of the United States, urges in strong terms the edvisability of the Mohommadans adopting our i‘y;sltam. He gives it as his opinion that the rkish commerciel interest would gain nothing by sending the raw products of that country to the United States, and China, aswe receive the same produce wia the _ Pacific Railroads, _excopting opium _and gum arabic and silk, which are inconsiderable mat- ters, and are now shipped to Liverpool, in Eng- lamf, and various ports on the coast of France. As to how the Pacific Railroads manage to carry freights at their present reduced rates, he offered & %mmmy of - railway statis- tics, furnishe by the Dep: ent of the Interior. He also furnishes the necessary figures in regard to the method of construction %n E:Il;a Northern Central and Union Pacific Blague Bey is & warm_friend of American in- stitutions. In 1855, whilo on & visit to Turkey, be built the firat line of telegraph in that coun: try, according to the American system, at an ex- pense to himself of £10,000. . STEAMBOAT REGULATIONS. The bill to limit steam pressure on tow boats and other steam_vesgels employed in_carrying freights on the Mississippi River, which was hungupin the Conference Committee at the closeof last session,cameupin the Senate to-day and passed without objection, Senators Conkling however, moved a reconsideration, on the ground ¢hat the bill was only originally intended to upé»ly to the Mississippi River, whereas, as amended in the Conference, it is now applied to steamors_throughout the United Btates, in & manner differing from what was originally con- templated. The reconsideration was ordered, and the bill now lics on the table, whence it can be taken st any time. As it originally stands, the bill provided for an increase of pressure from 110 to 150 pounds upon boilers of 42 inches in diameter, with plates one fourth of an inch in thickness. The House amendmeut, which ex- tends its operations to the entire soumntry, and which was offered by Mr. Conger, of Michigan, provide that, for ons year after the passago of the act, there ahall be a suspension of any pres- ent legal provisions requiring the use on steam- boats of “lock-up” safety valves, recording steam gauges, pipes to carry steam info the holds of ressels, low water indicators, sud testing puaps.
