Mr. Morton calied up the resol to the pay of Southern Senators, the questien being om the amendment to make the pay date from the bezinning of the second session of this Congress; which was adopted. The discussion on the resolution was contin- ved until the expiration of the morning hour, ‘when the special order—bring the report of the commitiee of conference on the Constitutional amendment—which was read. Mr. Pomeroy pronounced the action of the conierence committee as most unparliamentary and unbeard of, hey bad tamoered witt the text ef the bill, which had been agreed upon by both House Hovss.—Mr. Spalding, (Ohio.) from the Committee on Appropriations, reported the miscellaneous appropriation bill. Ordered to be printed, referred to the Committee of the ‘Whole, and made the special order for to-mor- Tow. Mr. Farnsworth, (I11.,) trom ths Committee on Post Oflices and Post Road-, reported a bill to amend the postal laws. Mr. Chandler (N. Y.) and others objected to the consideration of the bill. On motion of Mr. Scotield. (Pa.,) the-House ‘went into Committee of the Whole on the defi- pore |ppropriation bill, Price of Lowa, in the chair. Mr. Scofield (Pa.) moved to amend by insert- ing an item io supply deficiencies for lighting the Capitol and Presidert's House, £12,000, — Amendments making a riations for the Cc Houses at Nasi mile, Tent Paul, Minnesota. and Ogdensburgh, New York; and for the Branch Mint at San Francisco, Uali- fornia, were rejected.

Chaaler (N. Y.) moved to strike out the Appropriation of $1,500) for cavalry and artil- jery horses. He was of opinion that there was er great stupidity or great dishonesty at the basis of the whole matter. There were more males than horses, he thought, in the (uar- termaster's Department. The Committee on Appropriat.ons are either determined to draw from the Treasury a certain net amount of ex- Penses. or did not know the facts of the case. Mr. Mullins (Tenn.) defended the Commit- tee. He could not sit still and allow the Com- mittee to be impeached either of ignorance or crime, The Committee, he said, was not oniy accused of ignorance, but the Government is secused of being rotten to the very core. God knows, he said, if theGovernment was rotten to the heart the gentleman from New York (Chan'er) must be the heart.
