TRANSFER OF THE REVENUE MARINE SERVICE, On motion of Mr. Gray House bill to trans- fer the revenue cutter service from the Treas- ury Department to the Navy"Department was again taken up for consideration, The amend- ments reported from the committee on naval affairs were agreed to. BILL TO AMEND THE FEDERAL ELECTION LAWS. Pending the consideration of the revenue cutter bill Mr. Hoar, from the tommittee on privileges and elections, reported (as an origi- nal measure) a bill toamend and supplement the election laws of the United States and to provide for the more efficient enforcement of such laws, and it was placed on the calendar, THE DEMOCRATS AGAINST IT. Mr. Pugh said: “Mr. President, as a member of the committee on privileges and elections I desire to say that the favorable report of this bill was opposed very democratic member of the committee. The minority members of the committee regard the bill as revolutionary in its character. It substantially wipes out the regulation of congressional election’ by the states (that has existed for a century) with- out any demand trom the people fot the change and without any public necessity for the change. It appoints republican supervisors to oversee state officers, thereby insulting and degrading these state officers.” ‘The Vice President—Debate is only in order by unanimous consent, Mr. Allison—I hope that tnanimous consent will be given, MR.

It is sub- versive of the fundamental principles of local self-government. [f the bill becomes a law ita execution will insure she shedding of blood and the destruction of the peaee and good order of this country. Its passage will be resisted by every parliamentary method andevery method allowed by the Constitution,” Mr. Reagan asked Mr. Hoar what he meant by saying that the bill was reported a4 an orig- inal measure, Mr. Hoar replied that the committee had had a large number of electi Ixcreasep Intervay Revenve Recerere.— The total collections of internal revenpe for the first nine months of the fiscal year endin; . 1890, were $100,943,226. being an ing crease of $7,504,779 over the collections during the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year, Tats Ixpicates a Bid Postar Bustness.— Last year some 500,000,000 stamped envelopes and some ape newspaper wrappers were used by the people of this country.

One of the principal duties of the revenue marine service was the prevention of smug- ling; but naval officers had the f€putation of being the greatest smugglers and it would be a rather strange position for an old salt to find himself in, if it were made his duty to pre- vent smuggling. Hardly a naval vessel came into port without having more or less smuggled goods on board. Mr. Gray asked Mr. Sherman if was one of-those “high functions” had spoken of in connection wit Mr. Sherma@ gave it as his oj mn that naval Officers would stick to that h function of smuggling rather than enter of the new auty of pening: against smuggling. je argued at length against the bill and bad not concluded his speech when, at 2 o'clock, ‘THE LAND FORFE!

THE PROPOSED ROCK CREEK PARK. On motion of Mr. Spinola (N. Y.) a resolu- tion was adopted directing the Commissioners of the District of Columbia to report the as- sessed value of all property included within the bounds of the proposed Rock Creek Park, together with the names of the parties against whom it is assessed. THE LEGISLATIVE APPROPRIATION BILI. The House then went into committee of the whole (Mr. Payson of Illinois in the chair) on the legislative appropriation bill. Mr. Cummings (N.Y.) moved to increase the salaries of three House laborers known as “éloak room” men from #600 to $720. He did 80, he said, to make the salaries equal to those of the other laborers. MR, BUITERWORTH ON THE LABOR QUESTION. Mr. Butterworth (Ohio) opposed the motion, Outrages hud been done upon labor in the name of labor. The corn fields in his state were literally robbed under pretense of doing 01 something for labor. The men here who worked “four or five hours a day and plied their trade as barbers at other times received & year. Four-fifths of the taxpayers in Ohio did not re- ceive as great a salary as these men, They had a right to be consulted. Something should be done to lighten the burdens that rested on the back of toil, but not by taking money from the pockets of the men who earned 31.26 a day and worked ten hours a day and put it into the pockets of men who worked six hours a day and received 100 per cent more salary. Sixty million people were looking on now—a reading. thinking, free people—and Congress was not going to get ahead of them by paying tithes of anise and cummin and neglecting weightier matters of law. [Applause. | Mr. Cummings—The gentlemar is making a beautiful speech. Mr. Butterworth—And an awfully truthful one, Mr. Cummings inquired why these laborers were discriminated against. Mr. Butterworth repeated that these men lied their trade, besides performing their luties in the House. Mr. Clements (Ga.) was glad to hear the gen- tleman from Ohio admit that taxes were paid by the people of this country and not by im- porters, ‘The motion of Mr. Cummings was rejected. REPLYING TO ME. KELLEY.! In speaking to a verbal amendment Mr. Hooker (Miss.), in referring to the speech of Mr. Kelley (Kan.), deprecated the idea of hold- ing a state and a political party responsible for outrages which may be committed. He alluded to the assassination of a col- ored man in Henry county, Ind., in Feb. ruary last. How would he (Mr. Hooker) have looked if, befure the House and county, he undertook to hold the republican party or the state of Indiana responsible for the murder? He was a triend of the colored race, and he wished to protest against this race being ground between the upper and nether millstones of petty political trickery im the struggle between the two great parties. {Applause.| He was their real friend, not their stmulated friend. To say that the white men of the south op- pressed and assassinated the colored people was a vile slander upon them as well as a vile slander upon the black race. He insisted that the party or purties, man or men, who undertook now to breed bad blood between the old white people and the old black people of the south, to the detriment, damage and destruction of both, was neither true as a patriot to his country nor true as a Christian to the obligations which rested upon hit to treat with good will and good feeling his brethren all over the earth. {Applause. } Mr. Candler (Mass. ), in reply toa reference made by Mr. Hooker to Massachusetts, con- gratulatedthat gentleman on the tone and temper of his speech and — extende: his congratulations to Mr. Cothran (8.C.) for the tenor of his remarks yesterday declaring that they stood in marked contrast with the doggeral of another gentle- man and the labored, long-drawn-out speech of another gentleman. ‘THE CIVIL SERVICE CLAUSE. When the clause appropriating salaries for the civil service commission was reached Mr. Cummings (N.Y.) made the point of order that it was not properly in the bill, The commis- wion was neither legislative, executive or judicial, Mr. Butterworth called attention to the fact that the title of the bill included the words “and for other purposes.” Mr. Cummings replicd that the commission was for no purpose at all, It should be named the great supervisory commission of the gov- ernment und turned loose upon the land. Its ueurpations were getting to be monstrous, As conducted it had been A SCANDAL TO THE GOVERNMENT. Instead of confining itself to the simple duties, as indicated by law, it came before Con- gress in the bill as a legislative, executive or judicial institution. The apparent ignorance of some of these commissioners had been largely displayed. What they lacked in intelligence and experi- ence they made up in arrogance and supercili- ousness, The insolence of office was never better ex- emplified. The first Conimissioner gave more ui matical sentences in his letters than were to be found in “English as she is spoke.” Prospective Army Orricers, — Lawrence Long of Shelbyville, Ky., and J. J. McCanna of Flatbush, N. Y.. have been appointed military cadets at West Point, Tar Boanp or Crvit Service Examrxers for thesWar Department have compiled their list of questions for the forthcoming ‘examination for promotion,” to which about two hundred of clerks in that de: nt are to be sub- jected, and have sent them to the civil service are several it questions—one for each grade of clerks to be examined.

IN SIX SHORT DAYs.
