It will go to tho Sonate, and probably tako the place of tho Sonato bill. Strategy will be nsed to dolay and dofoat it, and tho lobby 18 incronsing in powor and influonce. Tho fight waxoa warm, and, by the middle of the weol, ‘will bo quito oxciting. The Hon, Groonbury Li Fort, of Marahall, Congressman-oleot from tho Eighth District, who was in tho Seunto when tho bill passed, and voted consistontly for 1t, arrivod this morning, and is wrestling with lis Sonntors ~Palmor and Birong—to securo thoir votes sgainst the Ropealing and " Investigation bills, Thoro nro potent influonces at work; and the fato of the billa in tho Sonate is uncortain. Whatover chanco thore s for tho Ropenting bill, tho Investigation bill will Lardly: pass, on mccount ©of & ropugnanco on the part of many to “ raking up dead men's Lones.” ~Tho minds of Senntors aro “all toro up,” and wil bo in that unboppy condition uniil the agony cauaed by the billy is over, Tho Investigation bill was postponed in the Houso until tho railrond debato onds. * THE RAILKOAD BULTS, The bill providing for the defenso of tho citi- wona against whom the Chicrgo & Alton Rail- road has instituted suits was taken up undora susponsion of tho rules, on motion of Mr, Cas- sedy, who bas fought for it like n Trojan, ] | M#. Quinn moved to roconsider tho voto by ‘which the bill was ordorod to a third reading. -Lioat—yens, 62§ nays, 72, ! Mr. Joues mOVOl to rocommit to the Judi- clary Committeo, on tho ground that it was un~ conatitutional for the Btato to plodgo its crodit for any purpose, and the Stato was doing that in assuming the rosponsibilities o judgmont that might bo obtained againet individuals. Ho was in %AVO!‘ of the bill if it was constitutional. Mr. Quinn was in favor of the bill, but didn't believo in passing unconstitutionsl acts. Under the bill asit stood, tho Stato miglt have 100 law- yors on its pay-roll all tho timo. Mr. Cossody didn't bolieye in tho sincorlty of thogontloman from Jo Davioss(Joues), norin that of the gentlomen from Tooria (Quinn). Tho motions woro mado to put tho bill to death, He . hated to hear persons ** otornnlly blowing their own honesty” and aconsing othors of stonls, o bolievad stoals wore ngpermoub in their minds, and “out of tho nbundance of their hearts the mouth ppoakoth,"” the Bible informed thom. What did the gentlomen mean by their dilatory motions? Ho claimed to bo ns” honost o man ©8 the man from Jo Daviess, Ho didn't ¢ whistlo .one tune and danco suothor.” Thore worc lonty of Food logal minds in tho Benate to fmlgu of the constitutionality of tho bill. He A‘ilt‘lt ll:of. bolievo tho motions wero made in good aith, Mr. Groy, of Fulton, statod that the Bub- Committeo of tho Judicinry, appointed to pro- ruu the bill, had grave doubts of its constitu- {onality, and it should bo distinctly understood that tho bill did not receive tho sanction or np- probation of tho Judiciary Committoo, but was reportod in obedienco to tho resolution of tho ouse, * DIr. Savaio bolluved th wmun (v Lo durendoa should be rogardod as the agonts of tho Btate to carry out the law. It would be numanly to nbuu-]ion thoir causo, which was the cause of the cople. B . Inscoro belioved tho bill should bo re- forred; thav it should apply to the casca now in the courts, and to nothing clso. Mr. Dunham took the_samo view. He would have profered that the bill should apply only to nsb cascs, but would voto for it any way. Mr, herman was opFnflml to the bill ns it stood, and desired to rofor It. Tho motion to refer was lost—58 to 64, . Mr, Armastrong, of Aloxander, did dot wish to: flnrpo!.mtn any tlourishes of oratory, but he be- leved in voting on square principles and square gommon ecnse, which would make them voto down tho bill. “Ho was after tho bill and the on- peting clause. ‘Tho Constitution cloarly forbade sny such logislation, The Attorncy-General could owploy ol the lawyara hio chose.” T'he bill avo unlimitod employmont to lawyors. Ho wns gfl.nr tho ouncting clanuso of tho bill, and was de- termined to hinve it out. The bill failed to pass— ons, 72; noys, 49,—not n mojority of tho f{nusu. 'ho numes will bo found in the rogular procendings. The voto was reconsiderod, and the Dill ro- committed to the Judiciary. - MUNICIPAL TAXES, House Bill No. 18 camo up in the Sonato in its regular ordor. Mr. Hiucheliffe, of 8t, Clair, who Is afraid to trust hig city authorities in Bollyille with tho collection of taxes, spoko against tho bill, He felt u great nf'mpnthy with cities liko Chicago, whose authoritios wera unable to grasp the provisions of tho gonoral revenue lnws.' Wh{ should the City Government of Ohlcnfo Bot itself up ngainut the wizdom of the Btate Legis- Tature, and defoy the genaral laws of the Btate? Benator McGrath, inreply to Mr, Hincheliffe, explained that Chicago did not stand alone in hor inabilityto comply with the provisions of the gonoral rovenuo laws, while crippled by charter limitations ns to the rato of por contago on tho amount of tho assessmont, Ho gave s monthing exhibit of the Jewish tax-fighter, and oxplaiucd tho prosont financial condition of Chi-. eago under tho ombarrassing condition forcod upon her by the dofocts in tho general revonuo to moet tho necessities of incorporated cities, Mr, Voris, of Shelbyvillo, donounced the nt- tempt to pnys this opprossive law merely for tho paposs of compolling tho ! milliouairos ™ of that city to pay their back taxes. AIr. Steclo, of Coles County, made a strong and bl argmont in reply to Mr, Voris, Heo oppealod to the mombers from the rural dig- tricts to ald the City of Chicago by voting for this bill, to collect her baclk taxos. : i, MoGrath asikod the gontloman whothor the provisions of tho Constitution applied to any taxcn other than State and county taxes. M. Btoelo, in roply, read tho clauses of the Constitution in relation to taxation, and argned that tho limitations to county ofiicers only ap- plied, and was only intonded to apply, to tho ase Bossment and collcotion of taxos for Btato ond ocounty purposos, and was not intonded aud did ,not apply to tnxos for municipal purposes, Ho waa in favor of tho passsge of the bill, and hoped it would pasa, *Honator Canfiold, in rofnly to an _amondment £0 Baction 3, offorad by Mz, Hincheliffe, arguod that tho clauso as it stood wus renderod abso-" lutely necossu\? by tho offects of tho great fire in Chicago, whicl dostroyed all tho nesossmont xolls and other writtou evidenco of back iaxes for mevernl years, which parties have beon fight- ‘IIF in tho courts, T'ho amendment was votad down, - Alr. Yoris moved to re-rofer to tho Commit- too on Municipal Affairs, or Comumitteo on Rov- enuo, ho was not partioular whioh. He wanted it roferred to momo committoo for the purposo of amending tho bill, Bonator Canfleld denounced tho motlon s an attempt to kill tho bill by n sido-blow. Motion dofoated. Bonator Hinchcliffe made a motion to amond Boction 5, Henator Canflold roplied, and urged that the proposed amendment wah precisely tho samo as the attompt toamond Bee, 8, which the Senato bad voted down, Mr. Kohoo apoke against tho smondmont, and oxpressed his surprise that the opposition to th}u Dbill should conte from thoso who olaimod to bo, par oxcellonce, tho chatnpions of the hard- fistod yeomanry. 'Lhis bill was dosigned to protact tha poor man, who nlways paid his taxes, aud compol the rich mun, who fights his taxes alivaya, to como forward and pay hin aharo of tho public burdens. This brought Mr, Hincheliffe oxcltadly to his Feat, in defonso of his ponition on this bill, Mr. McUrath defended tho sincority of Mr, Hinolicliffe,and statod that, among the prinolpal | Jobbyiats on the floor of the Ohsmber this mpm- ing, prompling Honntora in tholr opposition to thio bill, was n man whoso namo npponra vory prominontly in tho blaok list of doliuquont tax- fightors. 1To would not montion hia namo. Ho would nimrly sy that ho was n lognl gontlomau yory prominontly connoctod with tho revision of tho olatuten, Bonator Youngblood depracntod the practico of Imputing improper motives to Sonators in {heir nction’ npon measures, Io winhed to anlc the Henator from Cook a l\\lusl(ml, whother the ]mrty to whom he had mado roferonce, ns & tax-fightor, wnan party who bnd drawn a'large amount of monoy from the L'reasury of the Stato in roviking tho Iws ? 1 g 'I'he I'residont ruled the quostion ont of order. Honator McGrath was perfoctly willing to giva I\Idil';al roply totho quoation. He did menu 3r. urd, 5 ‘Tho Proaldont rappod his gavel and ruled the queation and reply out of ordor. Mr. Hampton, of McDonough, advocated tho {mnnngn of tho bill, ag ho bolloved it was ouson: inlly a monsuro for tho protection of tho poor man. Rich mon, who have rofussd to pay their trxen, linvo-crawded tho lobblos of tho Genoral Asgombly asking mombors to voto ngainst tho nsgngo of thia bill: " Benator Loo moved thnt hio bill bo ordored to n third rending, Oarriql Bonator Waito moved to suspond tho rules to put tho bill on 1t prssnge. Bonator Youngblood opposod tho motion a8 of doubtful constitutionnity, Hountor Onuo{ hioped “the motion would pre- vail. "The bill hiad boon somo timo bofore the Bonato, and Lo thought %‘uutlumnu wero as woll ropared to voto upon it then as they over would 0. Tho motion to suspend the rules provailed, and tho bill pnssod—390 to 1.
