WEDNESDay, January 19. SENATE—A bill reported faverably from the Judiciary committee by Mr. Garland, to reiteve Richard Fatherly, of Arkansas, trom political disabilities, gave rise to a discussion upon criticisms by Mr. Hoar and Mr. Samunds, that Fatherly’s petition did not set forth any offenc: bringing hitn within scope of the constitutional ronibition, but merely set forth that he had eld and resigned the ofice of milltary store- keeper at the opening of the rebellion. Mr. Edmunds characterized such a represen- tation as trifiing with Congress. Mr. Garland, replying to the strictures of Mr. Edmunds, who, he said, seemed to be the cen sor of the Senate, explained that storekeepers’ Stores were seized In the hands of Fatherly at the arsenal at Lite Koek, and that under the olitical boards put upon the country under the heilbroth of reconstruction he had not been allowed to vote. The petitioner supposed the cause of this was some pete disability, and therefore sought this retlet. Mr, Edmunds disclaimed having satd anything to offend the seusibilities of the Senator from Arkansas, (Mr. Garland,) and did not suppose that Senator responsible for the peculiarities of the petition. On the third reading of the bil, Mr. Edmunds Serenied the yeas and nays, which resulted 31 to 16. On the final passage of the bill he repeated his demand, when the bill was defeated—30 to i6—not two-thirds in the afirmative. Mr. Ingalls, from the committee on claims, reper tavorably the bills to provide for the sale of the lands belonging to the prairie baud of Pottawottomie Indians and for other pur. Poses, and Dill to provide for tle sale of the lands of the Miamt Indians in Kansas.

Mr. Reagan objected 10 Mr. Price continuing, on oe ground that the question was not a mal one. Mr. Carlisle sald that if he had made any as- Sertion which could be construed as question- ing the gentleman’s veracity, he would with- draw it very cheerfully. {Laughter.} Mr. Price,—I don’t want the gentleman to withdraw it, I want to get {1 right on the record. Mr, Carlisie.—Ift the getter has made any asrertion which could be construed as quest!op- ing my veracity, I forgive bin for ty, ia er 3 Air, Price then stated that the question of Yeracity was upon the whether the re- demption of the circulation of national banks was at the e: of the banks or of the gov- ernment, in asserting that it was at the expense of the banks he stated that the pend- ing bill was anything but a funding Dill, and that he would vote against it, if he voted alone, The matter was then dropped, and the Speaker announced that the recular order of business was the further consideration of the eaading i. Mr. Gillette rose to a it of order, and argued that inasmuch as Mr. Newberry had openly stated that he had gone to the Nailopal bank, ofiwhich he was a director, to Inyutre how he should vote; he had no right to vote on this question. He did not make the point of order out of apy ili will to the gentleman, bat as a matter of duty. If there had been any- thing developed by the recent debate it nad been the fact that this bill was so closely ailled to the National bank system that it might with propriety be called a national bank Mr. Newberry said that he was very glad that the point of order had been raised. e point involved nearly every member, not only on this vete, but on every vote, Under the rule of the House, if construed as the gentleman from Jowa construed 1t, no member who used tobacco in any form could vote upon a proposition to take the tax off tobacco, He held that no rule of the House could deprive any member of his vote. The foundation of the right to vote lay with a man’s own conscience and with no rule. Mr, Weaver said that he would broaden the point of order so as to include every member who Was @ Bational ik stockholder. because they were directly int e eyed an agitation in regard to the na- jon: nl After further debate the Speaker said that the Chair must be governed by the rules of the House and the interpretations placed upon them In the past. The Chair was not aware that the House of Representatives Irad ever deprived a reprezentative of the right of repre. senting his constituents, and a decision of the Chair to that extent would be an act Cg ed without the reach of hts authority, nor did the Chatr believe that the House itself had the right to deprive a member of his right to represeat such constituency. In view, therefore, of former decisions, which he quoted, the Chair overruled the point of order. An appeal from the decision, taken by Mr. oe ‘was laid upon the table—yeas 220, nays 34. ‘The question {hen recurred on agreeing to the amendments reported by the committee of the whole to the funding bilt. The first amendment on which a separate vote was demanded was that fixing the rate of interest upon the bonds at 3 per cent: of 3 Lowy amendment was agreed to—yeas 149, nays 104. ‘The amendment making the bonds 5.10 bonds was adopted without division, as were also the amendments fixing the rate of interest on the certificates at 3 per cent aud making them 1.10 certificates. —__++-_____ Mr. W.
