SOME OF LOCAL INTEREST, A Resolution to Investigate the Civil Service Commission. ——.__. THE REPUBLIC OF BRAZIL, Senator Morgan Advocates Recognition. —_—_.__ The Senate. Mr, Edmunds, in presenting a petition for the extension of the time for making pension applications, remarked that it was evidently one of the printed petitions sent around by persons engaged in getting them up. If it was genuine (as he presumed it was) it was deserv- ing of such consideration as it was entitled to. Acommunication was presented from the President of the United States transmitting one from the Secretary of the Interior with the draft of abill forthe reduction of the Round Valley Indian reservation in California and inviting the early and careful _considera- tion of Congress to the subject, Referred to the committee on Indian affairs, Among the bills introduced and referred to committees were the setae B By Mr. Cullom—Providing for limited postal telegraph service, sy Reagan—For the free coinage of both gold and silver; the issue of certificates to serve as money, and the retirement of United States and national bank notes of small de- nominations. DISTRICT BILLS, By Mr. Morrill—For the promotion of anatomical science and to prevent the desecra- tion of graves in the District of Columbia, By Mr. Sawyer—To provide accommoda- tions for the Post Office department and for the city post office in the District of Columbia. ADVOCATING THE RECOGNITION OF THE NEW REPUBLIC. Mr. Morgan called up his joint resolution recognizing the United States of Brazil as a free, independent and sovereign state, and pro- ceeded to address the Senate on the subject. It was one, he said, of a very important and delicate character. He would not have ventured to address the Senate now on the subject, but that he felt impressed with the necessity of having action taken by — Congress, The President had gone as far as his constitu- tional powers and the practice of the govern- ment warranted him in going in the matter. It Was necessary now, inthe present attitude of the question, that there should bea conjoint declaration by the legislative gnd executive Rowers of the government as to what is ie status quo in Brazil. The sentiment of his resolution was probably, he said, ap- proved by almost every man in the United States—he might safely say by every man of intelligence in the United States. In approv- ing that sentiment and in acting on it, and in expressing congratulations to the people of Brazil that they had cast aside the principle of monarchy and had adopted that of republican- ism, there was not the slightest criticism in the public mind of the United States against the conduct of THAT PATKIOTIC AND EMINENT MAN, DOM PEDRO, who has been deposed from the imperial throne. His methods of government, his fond- ness for his people, his attachment to liberal institutions, his concessions on all occasions to the self-governing power of the people them- selves, had been so conspicuous that the Amer- ican people felt a more distinct personal attach- ment toward him than they had ever felt for any emperor in the history of the world. That very liberality and the concessions made by Dom Pedro bud operated as an inducement, if not an invitation, to the people to change their form of government. virtual abdication (not formal, but actual) had been so immediate, so peaceful, so kind, and attended with such af- fectionate declarations on his part toward the people of Brazil, that it might well be believed that he had sedately made up his mind that the people of Brazil were entitled to self-gov- ernment; and that the house of Braganza had no longer the moral or political right to say who should be the successor of Dom Pedro. THE MONROE DOCTRINE. Coming down to the discussion of the Monroe doctrine, Mr. Morgan declared that the atti- tude of the United States in respect of all the countries in the western hemisphere was a very distinct one. That attitude had been as- sumed very early in the history of the Ameri- can government, assumed sedately and confi- dently, and had been reasserted on every op- portune occasion from the date of its an- nouncement by President Monroe down to the last message from the President of the United States, He (Mr. Morgan) knew nothing of schemes for the restoration of Dom Pedro, or of any member of the house of Braganza to the imperial throne of Brazil. He coincided in the declaration made by Thomas Jefferson that it was the business and duty of the Umted States to proceed to make, to progress in mak- ing, and ultimately to consummate the making of the western hemisphere the home of repub- lican institutions and not the home of despotic institutions, House of Representatives.
