FORTY-FOURTH CONGRESS, Closing Proceedings Yesterday, Passage of the 3.65 Bond Bill, SENATE —After our report closed— Mr. Windom, from the Committee on A Ppropriations, reported Honse bill to enab: the clerk of the House to pay the fourteen disabled and crippled un‘on soldiers, now ia the employ of the House Sn, from Decem 6, 1875, to June 30, 1576. 4. Mr. Morrill (Ms) submitted the confer- ence report on the District 3.65 bond bill, printed on the first pageof Tar STAR to. day. Mr. Cooper asked that the report be laid over and printed. Mr. Sherman appealed to Mr. Cooper not to delay action on this report. He hoped the Senate would not adjourn over the 224 of February with this unacted on. For twen- ty-one days had the United States allowed to £ to protest the interest on bonds for which it was liable. Mr. Morrtil, in answer to a question of Mr. Bayard, said the report recited that the acts of June and December, 1574, were both re- pealed, so far as to any authority that they conferred upon the board of audit. Mr. Bayard opposed the report, which, he said. stili did pot come up to the sense of the Senate as expressed del! berately by 1ts votes. That decision was that this board of audit should be stripped of its powers, and that no bonds issued after January 2 ould be re- cogvized. If the Senate agreed to this report it doned its position. Oa the Zt of January the amount of bonds issued were something over $13,7:7,000. It was the opin- jon of the Senate wnat the debt should not be irereased beyond what it was oa that day. If this report was adopted it would admit about $1,125,000 more. Mr. Morrill (Me.) said the whole six mem- bers of the conference committee who signe! this report thought that they were dotog ex. actly what the Senator sald they had not done. If there was ever a report of acon- ference committee that did conform to the Juugment of the body which created it that report was here. The whole thiug showed that it was simply impossible to do any- thing to please some people. Tae Senator wants the board of audit prohibited from auditing any more ciaims; that is exactly what bas been done. Mr. Bayard proceeded to read the report, as he sup) when Mr. Morrill remarked Ubat the r Was reading from the first report, and all that he had read was in the first report, all of which had been left out in the report now before the Senate. Mr. Sargent said after the resolution as it now stood was and signed by the President, it would abolish the last vestige of power of the board of audit. He read from the report providing that the Commissioners shall forthwith stop all work of every char- aeter in the District which by law would be paid for in the 3.65 bonds; that any further issue Of 3.05 bonds is prohibited, ing the acts of June aud December, 1574, con- ferring any power upon the board of audit, abolishing all compeusation to the board of audit, and directing the board of audit to turn over, at tae end of thirty days, to the District Commissioners, all books, papers, &e.; also, prohibiting absolute! crease of the present funded indedte the District of Columbia. Taere was another Amendment adopted by the Senate to the bill whea it was considered here—adopted at Ube instance of the Senator from Connecticut, (Mr, Eaton)—that no bonds issued after January 27 should be recognized. This amendment was offered and adopted in c)n- sequence of information furnished to the Senator from Connecticut, and which it ap peared afterwards was wrong. When te amendment Was adopted it was understood as the sense of the Senate that, if necessary, it could be fixed in conference committee The committee of conference had not con- sidered the amendment as expressing the sense of the Senate because it was adopted on erroneous information. Mr. Eaton said if he had his way he would rot pay one dollar of any of these bonds until there Was @ thorough investigation as to which were legaily issued. He moved to ad- journ, Lost. Debate was continued by Mr. Saulsbury and others. Mr. Dawes said be was entirely satisfied With the report, and regarded it a8 earryiog oul the wishes of the senate. In regard to the amendment of the Senator from Con- necticut, which had bot been inciuded in the report, he did not think it was practicable to carry itout. He did not think Congress had the right to repudiate the acts of its own officers. Mr. Wadleigh thought the report ought to be printed. After all the experience nad, he must ask the opportunity to see, to read and to study this report, so as to know exactly what itdiddo. If the proper examination bad been bestowed on, the former bilis we would not be in the pos! tion we are in now. The motion of Mr. Cooper to print the con- ference repor? was lost—yeas vi, nays 2s. Mr. Cockrell moved to adjourn. Lost. Mr. Cooper expressed the opinion that a large amount of the bonds were fraudulently issued. A million and a@ half, be believed, bad been illegally and fraudulently tssued, und he did not believe we were iu duty or honor bound to pay these bonds. The question then being on the adoption of the conference report, Mr. Cockrell moved to aojonrn and called the ayes and noes. r. Sargent said if the object was to filli- busier he supposed he might as weil yield, as Ubere was no remedy against it. Lost— ayes 25, noes 29, Mr. Cockrell said he had great regard for the distinguished gentleman who framed this report, but they had made mistakes be- fore, and thevefore he thought it was not un. reasonable to ask that this report be printed in order that all might have an opportunity to examine and vote upon it intelligently. iie‘moved to make the report the special or- der for Wednesday, but he withdrew the mo- tion at the request of Mr. Withers. Mr. Patterson moved to postpone the far- ther consideration of the report till Wednes- day at io’clock. Lost—ayes 23, noes 29. pe ‘he report was then adopted—ayes 31, noes Messrs. Booth, Davis and Withers with the republicans made the affirmative, and Messrs. Alcorn, Patterson and Hitchcock with the democrats made up the negative. Mr. Wadleigh said be had voted in the a! firmative for the purpose of making a mo- ton to reconsider, which he now entered, and in the meantime he hoped the report would be printed. The Senate then went into executive ses- sion, and then adjourned. DISTRICT BUSINESS IN THE HOUSE. HCUSE.—After our report closea— Mr. Willard (Mich.) reported a bill to reg- ulate the practice of pharmacy in the District of Columbia. Mr. Willard said thecommittee was unani- mous in reporting the bill, aod its sole pu pose was lo benefit the commanity as a whole by requiring that pharmacists should be skilled. Mr. Holman (Ind.) opposed the bill on the general ground that he was opposed to this species of legislation, a3 it was an interfer- ence with a private industry. Mr. Lawrence (Ohio) satd that there were nO more serious coutroversies than those be- tween the different schools of medicine, and he inquired if there was notdanger of giving one school an advantage over the other. Mr. Willard replied that the committee had framed the bill after a consultation with draggists and the Board of Health. They pro- yOsed that the National College of Pharmacy should nominate the examiners to coatrol the business of p! y here. They did not apprehend any such difficulty as that re- ferred to by Mr. Lawrence, because the Board of Health was Mr. Henkle (Md.) said that the whole pur- of the bill was to suard against the exerelsing te profession of pharmacy, and exercisip| ro! lon a . itdid no harm to any one how in the busi- Dess. passed.

One of them whose name is Hanner, said that he could whip eny man in Austin who bad on a “stovepipe hat.” They got very excited, and drawing their pistols laid them on the bar counter. Finally, leaving the saloon som: one met Ben Thompson and told him about the threats the men had made. Mr. Thom) son Went to his room, and, patting on a silk hat, returned to the saloon. When the par- Ues from Liano returned, Thompson was talking in a jovial sort of Way about being @ vorthern man on @ tour for his health, but that he believed that he could whip any man in Texas. Hanner said, “You do? Well, you are the man for me” (or something to ‘that effect), at the same time drawing a six- shooter. But before he could cock it Thomp- son fired at him, the ball entering near his ear and coming out at the back of his neck Hanner ther started across the street, still trying to cock his pistol, when Thompsoa fired a time, the ball taking effect in Hanner’s back.
