A motion to go into executive session, made by Mr. Harris, was lost—yeas 20, nays 21. By unanimous consent Mr. ‘Johuston was permitted to offer a resolution, which was adopted, calling on the Attorney General for certain papers in relation to the report of C. C. Lancaster, special agent of the Treasury de- artment, touching the western judicial dis- Tict of Virginia, Some time was then consumed ff roll calls on various dilatory motions, WHAT MR. DAWES WANTS TO HAVE SETTLED. Mr. Dawes said that he was conscious that Nod jublic business had been much obstructed by the pendency of the resolution which he had offered, but attributed that obstruction to the action of the minority in resorting to every motion known to parliamentary law to defeat that resolution. This was a struggle whether it was the Senate or the aren of the Senate which was to control public business, He did not care a copper whether one officer or an- other was in office; but he desired to have it settled before the country whether this was a government of the majority or not. He wished to make a last appeal to the judgment and the Veber of the other side not to overthrow ‘he fundamental principles of this government in fighting over a matter of no more importance than the selection of a couple of officers. ‘MR, SAULSBURY EXPRESSED A REGRET that this should be the last appeal. “He always enjoyedthem. It would be amusing, he said, to listen to the solemnity with which the Sena- tor from Massachusetts presented his views it Sted did not know that at the begh peeuaning '@ present session the republicans hi Tesorted to dilatory motions in order to prevent: a clear majority from, organizing the Senate. Was it not singular that the Senator, in view of that fact, should acieape to lecture the democrats? He quoted from a Gosee ae report of & republican caucus at the. last session, where methods were considered as to how the Will of the majority could be defeated and where the timidity of the democrats was al- luded to. If there had ever been any timidity that timidity was now gong. The democrats had learned that it was their duty to the coun- try as well as to their party to resist with a determined purpose methods so wrong and ini- quitous as they Delieved this to be. MR, BURNSIDE ON FILLIBUSTERING. Mr. Burnside made afew remarks, He said that filiibustering was often resorted to asa means to defeat unpopular nominations; that at the close of the last session of Congress ne and several democratic Senators went out ef the chamber to preyent a quorum so that an ex- fain session might be prevented. (Laugh- er. MR. BECK SAID vee in December the democrats would be will- ett test this question, and abide by the re- ‘ult, but they would not help Mr. Riddleberger et the place of sergeant-at-arms. An ex- nion soldier, a gallant man, bearing upon his he received in the cause of es the woun the Union, would be nominated—he believed, by a yepublican,—for sergeant-at-arms, and every democrat would vote for him. He Is a Man whom the democrats could hold the most Pleasant relations with. It might as well be ‘understood that Mr. Riddleberger would never have the opportunity to fulfill the prom'ses of offices he is now making to men fn Virginia. Mr. Dawes arose to oy when Mr. Beck, with both hands ratsed, sali: “On,T’m not going to say anything that will give you rea- gon to challenge rae.” Mr. Beck in the course of his remarks made an allusion to a “foul bargain,” etc. Mr. Dawes wanted to Know if Mr. Beck had been careful in choosing his language so a3 t» imply a bargain and yet ‘aoe, being called to oye Beck Knew him awes) too well to charge him directly or 1n- rectly with a Sargais. Mr. Dawes said he wanted to know papas, Mr. Beck sald he had not intended to say any- thing that would by eny sort of inference charge such conduct upon Mr. sata and the jatter said that was satisfactory. The Proposed New Pension Office. OPINION OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL THAT TAE CONGRESSIONAL APPROPRIATION CAN ONLY BE USED FOR PURCHASE OF A SITE AND NOT FOR CONSTRUCTION OF THE BUILDING, The Attorney General has delivered the fol- Jowing opinion on the question involved In the Pension office appropriation. It 1s addressed tothe Secretary of War. “Your letter of the 1ith ultimo, calling my attention to the clause in the sundry civil appropriation act of March 3d, 1S8S1, which provides for the pur- chase of a suitable site in the City of Washing- ton for the erection of a brick and metal fire- roof building, to be used and occupied by tho ension burea 4 &c,, and enclosing a commtint- cation trom the quartermaster general and other papers felative thereto, inqutring ‘whether wu ee ae should be interpreted as CH se ding for the purchase a site alone or wheter the sum ap) priatea may be used for the erec- tion of the ig a8 well 88 the purchase of the site.’ Upon tion, I am of the opinion that the sorision referred to must be construed, to a polely tothe purchase ofa ject mentioned by you, the erection ot @ build- further legislation 1s necessary.’ le Attorney General states that while it is evident that the Senate committee, in which ree ap pror riation originated, intended that the appropria\ lon should be expended for both a building anda site, the House, judging from the explanation made by Mr. Biount, Who was one of three conferees om the bill, would seem to have understood that te site for the buildings e for the {lon for a bullding, other than that in the purchase of a site. The building is to be @ matter for future consideration.” (Con- gressional Record for March, 4th, 1881, page * “There does Dot appear io mé, says the Attorney General, to i foundation veen the Soles to warrant the ine sodidion ot the word ‘and,” suggested language of the clause, as it ‘aein reads, Gouin no eS necessarily gt Me rise: to the inference that Congress intended it to embrace more than its terms express. In the construction of a statute words cannot be added oe for the ee of supplying an omission which on merely Conjecéural. grounds) 18 thought to have been vertently made.’ in accordance with this decision no steps looking toward the erection of a new pension building will be taken except to purchase a site.
