Mr. Hamtiton moved to amend by making the amount $1,500. Discussion on the resolution con- ‘tinued until the expiration of the morning hour, when it went over. The unfinished business, being the moiety bill, was then proceeded with. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. — Bs unanimous consent Mr. Sener (Va,) called ap and the House passed the bill to amend the act dividing the stateof Virginia into two judicial districts. {The bill provides for the holding of two terms at Fredericksburg on the first Mondays of March and September in each year.) An boar after the oe i, f the journal having been assigned to the Ways and Means Committee and the regular order being de- manded. Mr. Beck (Ky.) reported @ bill for the reliet of owners and purchasers of land in insurrec: ‘onary states sold for direct taxes. Referred to Committee of the Whole. Mr. Koberts (N. Y.) reported a bill to admit free of daty merchandise sunk for over two years, and afte recovered. Passed. Mr. Foster (Ohio) reported a bill to admit photographic and lithogtaphic prints and views, Xe., Jusported for scientific purposes and not torsale. Referred to Committee of the Whole. Mr. Dawes (Mass.) then reported adversely npona very large number of bills with the recommendation that they be laid upon the table. Objection was made to the tabling of some of them and these were referred to the Committee of the Whole as follows: Bill declaratory of the meaning of the 39th section of the act of June 6, 172, to reduce in erpal taxes and for other purposes. Bill to authorize the issue of 5-€5 convertible bonds and to reduce the intereston the public debt. Bill to tax incomes over $3.10. Bull to repeal the daty on salt. Biil to tax Burtalo hides. Mr. Dawes reported favorably a bill toamend section 1of the act of May Zi, 1872, in relation tothe abatement and repayment of taxes on ‘distilled spiritsin bond destroyed by casualty. Passed. Mr. Dawes also reported a bill to remit duties on certain goods destroyed by tire at the late great conflagration in Boston. Referred to the Committee of the Whole on a point of order. Mr. Wheeler, (N.Y.,) from the conference committee, reported on the army appropriation bill, which was concurred in. The eva award bill then came up as the unfinished business of yesterday. Mr. Bass (N.Y.) argued that the awardshonid made to those who were deciared by the tri- at Geneva to be the losers. Mr. Wilson (Ind.) sald the United States did not goto Geneva as the attorney for the claim ants, but in its sovereign capacity, and had the sight to use just such means as ‘it saw fit to establish a claim upon Great Britain for an award for the damages and wrongsshe bad com: mitted. The money belonged to the United States, secured im the manner named according to her sovercign will. He then argued that the insurance companies had been remunerated from the war premiums, and that those whe paid these premiums were in equity and justice tbe ones to be awarded the amount of their lotsa, Mr. awa redge (Wis.) argned that the money at Geneva and paid by Great Britain ld be covered into the Treasury of the United States as the money of the nation. H: said up to the time that Great Britain violated her neutrality the confederates were pursuing the rights of war, and the government was in n0 way bound for losses by rebel cruisers. The vesrels fitted out in Great Britain were in the hands of the confederates, ard the same rela- tion still remained as to captor and captured. It was not claimed these vessels were those of Great Britain, and the claim was not mae that British vessels destroyed our vessels and com- merce; but the complaint was that she had violated ber neutrality, and the award was made, not for damage done by Great Britain te our vesels, but because of her wrong asa na- tion to us as & nation, and hence the fund was @ national one. Mr. Kellogg (Conn.) said he looked upon this subject as @ question of common honor, de- cency, and justice. Whether the government would pay the money to these for whom it was collected. He cared not whether losers were insurance companies or individuals it was +2 violation of the arbitration te distribate it otherwise. Mr. Frye (Me.) said this qnestion had resolved iteelf into atight between the insurance com- panies moetly located in New York and the peo ple of the country. He commented in strong terms upon the power of the insurance compa nies with their agents in every city and town, with lawyers in every county, and power to send their lawyers to the Geneva tribunal and afterwards as their lobbyists on the floor of the Honse. Mr. Tremaine asked what authority he had for stating that Mr. Evarts was the attoraey of te underwriters at Geneva. Mr. Butler (Mase)—His own statement before the Judiciary Committee. Mr. Tremaine said he had eent a letter bere yesterday denying it. Mr. Butler.—If he was here and made that statement Lwould throw it back to him. Mr. Kellog (Conp.)—He conld not make the statement kere. You could refuse to allow him. Mr. Butler—I would not refuse him. Ido not come from Connecticut. [Laughter.]} Mr. Frye continued bis remards in favor of the distribution of the award to the payersof the war risks. Eas ‘Tue act authorizing and directing the Sec- retary of War to give to George A. Armes, late captain in the 10th cayalry,an honorable dis- charge to Gate 7th June, 1870; bas become a law without exeentive signature, it having baen received by the President and not retarned within the ten Gays prescribed by the constitu- tion. NotTWiTHSTANDING the elevated condition of the thermometer the new Secretary of the ‘Treasury has received visits to-day from great numbers of callers. anxious to interview him on - mare sgel another. —— Se sapteting ofiee are rife to-day, but there has been no definite action by the Secretary in that direc- tion as yet.
