C., Juty 22~The House devoted the entire day and s long night sesston tothe Sundry Civil Appropriation bl The Commlttee resvlutely opposed all attempts to amend the bill, nud its resistance was in nost fustances successful. The amendment providing that the Govermnent printing shall be done by contract wos adopted. 'This is u practical tel- umph of the Printing Committee, though not a complete success of the Rives job. Mr. Fuster, Republican member of the Appronriation Com- mittee, malntalned that notwithstendiug the Democratic pretense, the aggregute redue tions, unwise and unjust ns they are, would not exceed $32,000,000, und that In conaequence of these reductions there would be lesge defleits next season, Foster had informa- tion from Treasury sources that the diminutiun fn receipts would not exceed 10,000,000, ana that the Treasury in in a healthy coudition, and not bankrupt, ns the Democrats pretend. The House, after a lengtby debute, uzreed to pro- vide for the payment of the futerest on the-3.65 bonds of the Distelct of Columbly, already guaranteed by Congress. A good many of the Democrats were disposed to repudiate this obll- gatlon, but the clenrer-headed ones were unwill fnge to take tho first step n the general repudia- tlon o much desired by o large portion of that party. AT THEIR OLD TRICKS, The proposed repeal of the cluuse to secure purity {n natlonal electlons occasioned o bitter partisan debate, The Demoeraty, betng unable to auswer the nrguments made by the Kepub- licans, vesorted to the weapon of tho bully, brute foree, wnd choked ofl debate. They would not even allow the Republicans twenty minutes to debate this subject, and us numbers were on the slde of the Democracy the Itter trfurnphed, ond the appropristion to prevent Latlot-box stutling and false reistention| and to detect frand was' defeated, 'The Kepublicans, lowever, were able tu sny enough to make a very bad record for the Democrats, and to place® them 1¥ AN UNPLEASANT ATTITUDE vefore thie country. ‘The eviilent purpose of the Democraey in this charglng this important law upou au Approprintion oill 18 that they can more easily oppreas and Intfuidate the colored South- vote on the eve of un lmportaut Presiden- tinl eteetlon. The Democrats wera even coward- 1y enough to dectlne to permit a record vote to be takeit upon this question, but the l!u{mbllm ans, after libusteing, finelly forced this con- cerslon from the Detiocracy, Conger, who Is tou keen for most of the Democrats, made a hoine thrust at the ex-Confedernte Postinnster- General, Regan, when be arrajgued him for having infeventinlly threatened a vevolution at every speech he had wade_upon the gencrnl condition of the country. Regan attempted in retort the Sonthern argument” of {runuullulng lis opponent’s statemeuts false, but Culu.;hg proposed torefer to Regan's speeches and ) pofiit was made. CINICAGOD. CUSTOM-NOUSE. In tho ning sesslon of the ITouse, Mr, Caulfleld sulauitted un amendment appropriat- ingg §350,000 for the completion of the Ciistom- Nouse und Post-Oflee at Chieago. Mr. Caul- field advocated tbe amendment, and was ful- Juwed by Mr. Hareison, of 1oy, who argued that {t Was the falsest kind of economy to stop the budlding when 1t was o necessity thut it should be built, He warned the Democrats that if they refused to complete these butldings, and thus throw men out of ‘work, they would el the effeet of it at the coming elections. Le Moyne said it was a fulso polley to try'to save at the epigot while there was & run- ning at The bunghold, and that was just the polley peoplo were pRrsuing in regard to these ils, Mr, Foster, of Ohlo, was glad to hear his Dumoeratie friends from Hlinofs talk Hie this, for It looked like returning good sense, and o devlation trom the rule of picayune ecconoiny, but hie remiuded the gentlemen thut they ha steadily voted with Mr, Rundoll to cut “down general appropriations, but when the matter euine home to them they felt differently, The amendment was rejected, HOLMAN'S INTEREST.
