The chair laid before the Senate a letter from the Secretary of the Treasury, transmitting ‘buggestions for an improved plan regulating Protests and appeals in customs cases, The letter was appropriately referred. Mr. Hale, from the committee on naval affairs, reported favorabfy a bill for the relief of the sufferers by the wreck of the United States steamer Tallapoosa, The bill was placed on thecalendar. ANOTHER DAKOTA BILL. Among the bills introduced was one by Mr. Butler, to enable the people of the territory of Dakota to form a constitution and state government, He said it was intended as a sub- Stitute for the bill already pending. The new Dill is an “enabling act” and applies to the whole territory, instead of merely to~- the southern portion. Jt was reterred to the committee on terri- tories. MR. VAN WYCK’S SILVER BILL. A bill was introduced by Mr. Van Wyck “to Prevent the demonitization of American coin by certain persons in the United States,’ In introducing this bill Mr. Van Wyck sald that the Senator from Vermont (Mr. Morrill) yesterday remarked that no parties in the Senate or out of it were seeking to demonetize silver, But, even now, Mr. Van Wyck con- Unued—even now, and tor some time, there been a determination or conspiracy on the part of capital. to. demon- etize silver and violate the laws and constitution, Some years ago, national banks in New York made an attempt to demonetize by ostracising silver, but as they were the immediate creatures’ of the law, they had shrewdly calculated the bazard of the venture. Now the edge was to be entered ina different shape. Capital was arraying itself against the laws, and the almost universal sentiment and prosberity of the people. “It was « bold and de- iberate “strike’’ done with malice afore- thought against the interests of the masses and of labor, Severe penalties had been provided against those who debased our coin. Why should not adequate punishment be provided for those who were seeking not merely its debasement, but its complete overthrow. Capital, by Its extravagant and illegal demands, was arousing the storm that it professed to dread; when it succeeded, as it surely would, in forcing a stern and active protest, it would then appeal tor pro- tection to the government, whose laws it had set at defiance. (The bill enacts that any promissory note, draft, bill of exchange, or any contra: reement requiring the payment of money, ‘h stipulates and requires the payment thereof to be in gold coin alone, shall be void, and ot no effect, and that any person, or thé agent or attorney of any person, who shall de- mund or receive any such note, draft bill of ex- ehange, or other contract or agreement requir- ing the payment of money in gold coin alone, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and punished by uw tine of not tess than one-half or more than the full amount mentioned in such promissory note, ete, Van Wyck’s request the bill was laid AUMr. on the table for the present, COUNTING THE ELECTORAL VoTES. The Senate proceeded to the consideration of bills on the calendar. The first bill in order was one to divide part of the Sioux reservation in Dakota into separate reservations and to se- cure the relinguishment of the Indian title to the remainder, which was debated by Messrs. ‘Teller and Dawes, and then went over, and the bill to provide for the counting of the'electoral vote was taken up. Houve of Representatives. A number of executive communications were laid before the House by the Speaker and appropriately referred, among them one from the Secretary of the Treasury, submitting an account of the investment of the sinking fund of the Unton Pacific and Central Pacific rail- roads, and recommending such a modification of the act of h, 1878, as will authorize the Secreta “the ‘Treastiry to invest the sinking fund mother than government securl- es, THE WIDOWS! PENSION BILL. No bills of any importance being reported under the call of conimittees, the House re- sumed in the morning hour the consideration of the bill to inerease the pensions of soldiers! widows. Mr. Wolford (Ky.) made an impassioned speech in favor of the bill, and, as there Was confusion in the House, the members crowded around him as he stood in the center aisle to listen. He advocated the repeal of the arrear- ages limitation, bat thought that to incorpo- Tate this provision on the pending bill might endanger the passage of both, — He was ire- quently interrupted by Mr. Browne,of Indiana, and the word-iencing between the two gentle: men wus hearuly enjoyed by the House: Mr, Reagan (Tex.) took the ground that only soldiers wo had been disabled in. the war or widows who had been wives of soldiers at the time the disability had occurred should receive pensions. In these bilis relating to pensions the contest. was not so much one about doing Justice to soldiers as it was a contest for polit eal supremacy—a bid for the votes of the sul- Alers. Mr. Funston (Kas,) Interrupting: “What right have you to impugn the rights of members in ttre Heugan declined to yleld r. Reagan decline yield, and continued his remarks. He asserted ‘that there were num- bers of men—he might say thousands—who Were recelving pensions who had no more right e to them than Mr. Funston—Who are they? Who are they? “The gentleman can make his speech when the time comes,” replied Mr. Reagan, and then proceeded with ’his speech. District in Congress. JUDICIAL AFFAIRS OF THE DISTRICT.
