Very light frosts occurred in Michigan aud North- ern Illinois on the 22d. Reports trom Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, and South Carolina indicate that'the weather for the week has been favorable to all crops. High winds and heavy ralus did considerable damage to growing crops in Loutslana and Mississippi igh winds also damaged corn i Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New Jersey, but, the at- tending ralus' will doubtiess improve the crop. In the northern and western portions of New England the weather was favorable for growing crops, but some damage doubtless resulted from high winds and heavy rains iv Uke southern portion, ‘TwoSovrTuenn Hexotnes.—The Lighthouse Board here is in receipt of a letter from the inspector of lighthouses at Charleston, 8.

Beck had no objection the clause, ‘4f not incompatible with the public interests,” Was inserted. Mr. Beck said commissioner had stated that if he were compelled to make pub- jic all these documents and ali this evidence he Might as well abandon the suits he had instituted yainst two mining companies (one of them a for- corporation), a8 that would disclose to the defendants all the case. ‘Mr. Stewart, objected to any such Imitation, Mr. Edmunds st ted the resolution be amended 80 as to require the transmission of all documents, except such as the commissioner may deem it expedient to with! in the interest of [Awol justice, He said it might be that public Interests wouid be interferred with by compelling ‘Ube publication of all the documents, Mr, Stewart said that the letter of the Commis- sioner Was the third raid made upon the miners in recent years, ‘Tne discussion was interrupted in order to act upon a proposition for another conference on THE ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL. Mr. Allison called attention to the fact that while the House only insisted on its disagreement to four amendments, all the other amendments were “in the alr,” the House having disagreed to the conference report. ‘The presiding officer gave it as his opinion that all the amendments were still open to conference; as well the tour enumerated as the other thirty- four. A new conterence was agreed to, and Sena- to1s Allison, Plumb, and Gorman were appointed conferees, ‘TRE SUNDRY CIVIL BILL. Mr. Allison presented a conference report on the ‘Sundry Civil bill (mentioned elsewhere), and gave notice that he would call it up to-morrow. ‘The following bilis were reported from commit. tees and placed on the calendar: The Senate bill authorizing the citizens of Colorado, Nevada, and ‘he Territories Uo fell and remove timber from the public doman for mining and domestic purposes; the Senate Dill granting te use of certain pubiié lands to the city of Tacoma, in Washington tory, for the purposes of a park. Mr. Stewart proceeded with his remarks in sup- ‘Ort Of his resolution, ‘Mr. Stewart invelghed against Mr. Stockslager for going to the newspapers in the matter and “making a Diackguard of himself” in abusing Sen- ators and circulaung slanders against them. He would, however, accept the amendment offered by ‘the Senator trom Vermont. Mr. Beck (sarcasticaliy)—I_ ht the Senator from’ Nevada would accept it. Edoubt whetuer there would be oue vote against it except the Sen- ator’s own. ‘Mr. Stewart's resolution was adopted with the amendment suggested by Mr. Eamunds. House of Representatives, MR. CANNON SAY8 ME. MORTON DID NOT VOTE TO TABLE ‘THE EIGHT-HOUR BILL, Mr. Cannon (IiL) called attention to some re- marks made by Mr. Bynum, of Indiana, on the 20th inst., In which that gentleman stated that in the Forty-sixth Congress a motion, made by Mr. Can- ‘Dan, Of Illinois, to lay on the table a bill to inforce the eight-hour law was carried, and that among the republicans voting for it was Levi P. Morton. The gentleman bad made a statement exactly con- trary Uo Uhe facts as far as Mr. Morton was con- cerned. He had examined the journal and found that Mr. Morton had not voted on the mouion, although the gentleman stated that he bad He (Mr. Cannon) was responsible for his vote, DUC he called attention to the fact that in the Congress. which laid the vill on the table Che democrats had almost a two-third majority, and that such demo- erats as MBSSKS. BLOUNT, MORRISON AND MILLS HAD VOTED FOR M18 MOTION, ‘In the second session of the same Congress a ‘similar bill had been passed under a suspension of ‘the rules, and among the names of members vot- ing for the measure the journal showed that of Levi P. Morton. When the geatleman undertook to state the record of other men he ought to pro- duce the record, and not state exactly the con- ‘ary of the facts. RELYING ON “THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD.” Mr. Bynum produced the Congressional Record of the Forty-sixth Congress to show that on a mo- ton to table the moton to reconsider the vote by which Ube elght-lour Uill was laid on the table, ‘Mr. Morton had voted aye, Mr. Cannon suggested the Record was not the highest authority. ‘The Journal was the Ligh- est authority, Mr. Bynum remarked that the Record was laid on the desks of members every morning, and ex- amined by them to see that it was correct, and ‘tuat they never saw the journal, Mr. Cannon retorted that the journal showed the action of the House, and tnquired whether, when the gentleman mude the statement, he did not kuow that the journal showed to the contrary? {Applause on the republican side.) Mr. Bynum replied that he had gone to the Record to find the vote, and he beileved the ec- ord Lo be correct and right. Mr. Cannon reiterated his question as to whether the gentleman had nov known that ghe Journal would show the contrary oi bis states it. Mr, Byhum repeated that the Record showed that Mr. Morton voted in the affirmative on the motion to table the motion to reconsider, Now ‘the gentleman tried to palm off the journal against ‘the Record. MX. CANNON PEMSISTED IN HIS QUERY as to whether the gentleman had not known that the journal showed the contrary, Mr. Bynum replied that he had not examined the Journal, He had examined the Record. In McPher- son’s Hand-Book, a good official record (so far as the republican party Was concerned), he found that Mr. Morton was recorded as voting ‘to lay the mo- tion to reconsider on the table. ‘Mr. Cannon Said that the gentleman was speak- Ing of the vote taken at tne second session of the Forty-sixth Congress on a@ similar bill, when Mr. ‘Morton Voted Lo guspend the rules and pass the ‘measure. MR, BYNUM CRITICIZED MR. CANNOM'S RECORD and said that he must answer to his constituents: for his own vote and that Mr. Morton must answer for his, It was no answer for the gentleman from Ilitnois to say that democrats voted with him on thal Occasion. Mr, Cannoy declared that the gentleman's state. ment touching the vote of Mr. Morton was not true, It falsified the Record and the statement that the guntieman’s vote 60 appeared tn the Zec- ord was mere pettifogging. The journal showed the action of the House, and that showed that Mr. Morton aid not vote on the first occasion, Again be stated that at the second session of the Forty-sixth Congress, as shown by the jour- nal, Mr. Morton voted for the eight-hour bill, ‘The gentleman had said that he (Mr. Cannon) could not creep out of the respo! ty for his vote by saying that democrats voted with him. We had not tried to do 60. He was respons:bie fun bis vote, without reference to anybody.
