Stewart introduced a Dill to execute certain treaty stipulations prohibiting Chinese tmmigra- ou.” Reierred to committee on foreign relations. ‘THE LAND FORFEITURE BILL. ‘The Senate then resumed consideration of the Tallroad land grant forfeiture bill, the question be- ing on the amendment offered yesterday by Mr. Hoar, Mr. Hoar withdrew his amendment with the ex- Planation that Mr. Palmer desired to offer one {ich would ccompltsh what he (Mtr. Hoan) in- tended to accomplish and someting ‘else. Mr. Palmer thereupon offered an amendment provid- ing that the act shail uot be construed to prejudice any right of the Portage Lake Canal Co. or the Ontonagon and Brule River Railroad Co., or any- body claiming under them, to apply here- after to the courts or to Congress for any legal or equitable relief to which they may now be entitled; nor to prejudice any right of forfeiture or recovery of the United States in Tespect of any Of the lands claimed by such com- Paules; nor to prejudice the right of any person claiming adversely to sald companies or thelr assigns, Mr. Berry opposed the excepting of any rail- road compiny trom the operation of the Dili; and he therefore move. to strike out of the amendment all reference to tne Ontonagon and Brule River Kaliroad Co, Mr. Hoar remarked that that part of the amend- ment was not pul In at his suggestion, but that the Senator from Michigan desired vo’ put it in, and he (Hoar) had no objection to it; for, of course, At was equally just with his amendinent. Mr. Plumb (who hus charge of the bill) sata he aid not think that the amendment would change the purport or effect of the bill in the sitzhtest Paruicular, and as Senators on each side of the question stemed to Tavor it, We had no objectto: Arguments against Mr. Palmer's amendmen were made by Senators Berry, Call, and Reagan, the former declaring Lis opposition to giving to Ay Fallroad cotupany one foot more of the public land than 1t was now absolutely entitled to. ‘To Which Mr. Palmer replied that he Was in favor of forfeiting all unearned Lunds, but that he believed Jo giving falr play to the railroad companies, Hi thought that Congress had erred In going too far in favor of rallrowd companies, but now it was erring iu following the oscillations of the pen- dulun the otuer way. ‘The vote Was taken on Mr. Berry's metion to stnke out of Mr. Palmer's amendment ull reference to the Ontonagon and Brule River Railroad Company, and the motion Was rejected, yeas, 20; nays, 26 The amen ment was Wen agreed to. THR PLEURO-PNEUMONIA BILL. The Senate this afternoon resumed consideration of the pleuro-pneumonia bill, Yominations To-Day. The President sent the following nominations to the Senate to-day: Henry George, of Kentucky, to be agent for the Indians of the Colorado River agency in Arizona. Postinastel Howard H. Edwards, Fayetteville, N. ¥.; James B. Keeler, Eulenville, N. ¥.; N. 1. ‘Sixby, Horse Heads, N. Y. House of Representatives. On motion of Mr. Bynum (1ud.), a Senate amend- ment was concurred in to the House bill providing for the purchase of additional ground and for the improvement of the post-office at Indianapolis, (The amendment increases the appropriation from $125,000 to $150,000.) ‘On motion of Mr, Rogers (Ark.), a Senate bill was passed authorizing the construction of a rail- Toad bridge at Little Rock, Ark, On motion of Mr. Townshend (IIL), a Senate bill Was passed authorizing the Secretary of War to Tecelve for instruction at the Military Academy Jose Andreas Utercho, of Nicaragua. THR FRENCH INVITATION, Mr. Belmont Y.) presented and the House adopted the conference report on the joint resolution accepting on behalf of the United States the invitation of the French republic to take part in the international exhibition to be held in Paris in 1859 (the commissioner representing the United States will receive a salary of $10,000. The House then Went into committee of the whole (Mr. Springer, of Illinois, tm the chair) on the tart bul, MR. WILSON IN FAVOR OF THE TARIFF BILL. Mr. Wilson (W.Va), a member of the ways and means comiittee, sald that the opponents of the tariff bill represented the Issue to be between free trade and protection, It was rather an effort of the people to recover the right to tax themseives, ‘The rule that only those who paid taxes should Impose taxes was the unlversdl test of free gov- ernment, but after twenty-five yearsot protection, private Interests were so entrenched in the tariff and had so overborne public interests that they regarded it as thelr exclusive domain, and resented the Intrusion of the people as that of Wespassers, In this tone and with this assurmp- Uon they ‘spoke through the press, and even Uirongh their advocates on this floor. ‘This was hol uew, Six years ago, when a demand came from the country for reduction of taxes so urgent Uhat Hot even a republican Congress could neglect it, the chairman of “the committee of Ways and means came into this House, not with @ Dill to reduce the people's taxes, Or stay Ue unneeded flow of their money into the ‘Treasury, but With a set argument to prove that the people's represeutatives were not capable of framing @ bill to tax the people. Tne 47th Con- gress yielded to huis argument and humbly invited he protected Interests to make known through a commission, e majority of whom they were per- mitted to select, thelr wishes to Congress. But privilege grows with what it feeds upon, and even Tises io wigher tones, ‘The time was when TEST OF LOYALTY TO TUR COUNTRY was devotion to te Union in the struggle for its preservation. Lately, however, the country had been told that even a McClellan and a Hancock must be ranked as allles of the Confederacy, be- cause of thelr disloyalty to a particular party,’but in this debate a new test_had been set up, and w have heard the nate of a citizen who stands before the world as the foremost Ving representative of American literature with a long and honorable record of public service be- hind him, a poet whose words in days past—like Luther's Words—had been “battles” for freedom, connected With that of Benedict Arnold becausé he would not bow down to the fetich of protection. He repelled Mr. Burrows’ criticism of the manner in which this bill was prepared, saying that such eriticisins could not justly’ be made by those who stood for the defense of the existing Jaw, He said that while our tariff rates were run- hing up from 18 to 48 per cent during the War and imi ely thereatter, every interest that Wished to become 4 parasite on the people was ermitied to dictate its own terms, ai se terms SUL Te- mained, ‘The so-called revision of 1883 soon turned into a struggle between tue captains of industry for an increase of thelr bounties and Was finally thrown into SECRET CONFERENCE COMMITTER, where higher rates were given than either house had dared to vote In public, and was then hurried through Congress without being sifted or read, ‘The Eastern Branch Bridge Bill, AWAITING THE PRESIDENTS SIGNATORR—POINTS OF LAW AND ENGINEERING TO BR SETTLED BEFORE ‘TRE PLANS ARE PREPARED. of the Eastern Branch bridge passed the Senate yesterday, and will probably go to the President and be signed in a few days. yet pense of alteration can easily be covered by the ‘The Chinese Treaty.
