An American national flag, made of sli raised in American homes by American women and children, reeled, spun, dyed, woven and mounted in Philadelphia, was borne to the desk, and was the subject of much admiration Doth from the floor and the galleries, Mr. Beck offered a resolution expressing the high appreciation and thanks of the Senate for the flag, and admiration for the efforts and success of the Women’s Silk Culture association in their patri- otic purpose toameliorate the industrial ition of thelr countrywomen; and to enlarge and diver- sity female employment in the United States, Air.

Mr. Kernan thought this so. important a matter ‘what the resolution and all amendments that might ‘be offered to it should go to the committee on Inalan ‘affairs for serious and deliberate ‘consid ation.

When the House met this morning, a handsome American flag ornamented the wall behind the speaker’s chair; and atter the reading of the fournal the Speaker laid before the House a communica- tion from the Philadelphia Women’s Sik Culvure association, of the United States, tendering the flag to the House ot Representatives, and bespeak- ing for iva place in the hails of the national gov. crnmeat, Mr. Kelley (Pa.) offered a resolution, which was adopted, accepting the flag ‘prepared for the use of the House, and pete! by the Women’s Silk association of the United States, and deciarn that the excellence of the fabric and perfection of colors it displays, affords evidence of the remark- ably rapid developtnent of the culture and inanu- faciure of suk by the American people, and that the House will ean: flag to be displayed with- in the hulls of tue House ALLEGED VIOLATION OF “RS PRIVILEGES OF THE MOUSE BY THE SENATE. Mr. Hurd, a3 a privileged question, offered a Preamble and resolution reciting that certatn bills appropriating money from the Treasury, origin- ating in the Senate are now on the Speaker's: ‘table, to wit: The Blalr educational bill and many. others, and that it ls asserted that these bilis are In viola: ton of the privileges of tae House to exclusively originate bills for ratsing revenue, and directing the tjuriclary committee to inquire into the power of the Senate to originate bills appropriating reve- ue, abd report to the House at any tine. Mr. Talbott (Md.) raised the polit of order that the resolution did not present a privileged question, but withdrew the pont when the Speaker Intima. ted that such a question was raised when it was Sataty ‘Uhat the privileges of the House had been Molten Mr. Hammond (Ga.) inquired _whetuer, tt the Tesolution were adopted, the House couid still cor- ‘sider the Blair bill in its regular order. ‘The Speaker answerea in the affirmative. Mr. Hurd said that for many years he had viewed ‘With apprehension the increasin: propriation bilis originating in the Senate. confined to matters of personal and local interest he had not seen fit to interpose an objection; but when Une Senate originated a bill appropriating 100,000,000 and affecting a great pubiic purpose, the Urhe had arrived when the question should BS determined whether the Senate the wer which it claimed to exercise. The question rectly presented was whether bills appropriating money irom the treasury were bills for Yalsing revenue, and be upheld the afiirmativ: of the proposition. A bill for raising revenue incluaed a Dill appropriating money; for until the appropria~ tion Mad veen made it was not revenue to the so. ernment. From 1¢7$ unttl now there was not a commentator on the Eugtish constitution who did ‘not deciare that te power to appropriate money: for the use of the crown belonged exclusively to the House of Commons. Since the beginning of ‘this government the House had maintained {ts pre- Togative tooriginate general uppropriation bills and {thad not surrendered ‘that. prerogative. by Verngae Senate bills appropriating money for ‘Spe- cific purposes, Mr. Hurbevt (Ala.) inquired where in the consti- tution any distinction could be found between tne ‘power of the Senate to originate bills appropriating teh oer sum ee a eli elect ane bills appro- riating a specific sum for a general purpose, a8 in ‘the case of the Blair Dill. u "7 Mr. Hurd denied the power of the Senate to origt- nate either character of bill. He belleved that the adoption of the doctrine contended tor by the Sea ate would be utterly destructive of the object sought by the founders of the government, which ‘object, was togive to the Representatives the power over the ple’s money. This power was the most potent of instruments against the encroachments Of executive power. Liberty could only be pre: served by preserving its muniments, and of all those he knew of none greater than that of the er over the people's money by the people's rep- Fesentatives. tApplause, Mr. Hammond (Ga.) called attention to the fact that in the Forty-sixth Con; ‘a similar point: had been raised aguinst the right of the Senate to originate a Dill for the purchase of additional fffound for the Bureau of engraving and printing. he question had been referred to the fudiclaty committee, and of the fifteen members of that committee ten had decided that. the Senate had a Fight to originate that ill and all ils of ike Character. “If the judiciary committee of to-day ‘were polled on the floor he ventured the asseruon that two-thirds of its members would say that the Senate could originate an appropriation DiIL, He ‘Was not a Dill ‘that an appropriat revenue, ‘The District in Congress, ‘A MEMORIAL FROM THE PRDBRATION OF LABOR, Among the memorials presented in the Senate to- day was one by Mr. George, trom the Federation of ‘Trades and Labor of the District of Columbis, w the ‘take up and pass Por tract labor.
