House bill to authorize the construction of a wagon bridge across the Mississippi river at Hastings, Minn, Senate bill for a public building at Joplin, Mo., at a cost not exceed- ing $50,000, LAND PATENTS. Mr. Plumb, from the committee on public lands, reported the Senate bill to provide for the delivery of land patents to their rightful one and asked for its immediate considera- jon, Statements were made by Messrs. Plumb, Paddock and Berry to the effect that there were some 250,000 land patents accumulated in the General Land Otfice for which those enti- tled to them had not applied; that a thrifty firm of Washington attorneys had been permitted to have lists made of them; that they had then communicated with the persons entitled to them, notifying them that they could get their patents on the payment of @ certain fee (in one case $25, which was then made €50); that ~— this Was an act of collusion between the assistant commissioner, who was then the assistant sec- retary of the interior acting as commissioner, and this law firm,and that the bill was designed to frustrate that job. THE BILL PASSED, The bill was then passed. It directs the Sec- retary of the Interior to send to the recorder of deeds in each county in which lands so pat- ented lie lists of the land patents in that county that have been in the General Land Office uncalled for for twelve months, THE LEGISLATIVE, ETC., APPROPRIATION BILL RE- CONSIDERED. Mr. Hiscock called up his motion to recon- sider the vote by which the Senate yesterday refused to recede from the amendments to the legislative appropriation bill in reference to the pay of Senators’ clerks and sessional com- mittee clerks, The motion was agreed to—yeas, 26; nays, 21. When the presiding officer was about to an- nounce the result of the vote, which was at that moment a tie, and therefore a rejection of the motion, Mr. Gorman, who had yoted in the negative, changed his vote to the affirma- tive, saying that he was unwilling that the bill should be lost on account cf such a contro- Some additional votes were cast and the vote was announced. The question then recurred whether the Senate should recede from its amendments, MR. GORMAN STICKS TO HIS COLORS. Mr. Gorman said he did not change an iota from the position which he had taken yester- day that it was the right of the Sonate to de- termine for itself what officers it required and what should be their compensation (of course, within reason). But this great bill should ha’ gone into operation yesterday, and he did not believe it wise at this time to hazard its fur- ther postponement. On some other occasion it would afford him great pleasure (and he hoped that the Senate would have the oppor- tunity) to have the matter determined as the Senate believed it ought to be. MR. DOLPH ON THE SAME SIDE, Mr. Dolph hoped that the motion to recede would not prevail. He regarded it as a mon- strona proposition that it was the duty of the Senate to recede from every amendment to which the House did not concur, That would give the House the right not only to originate raay riation bills butto determine what sums should be appropriated for every department, including the Senate. MR. EDMUNDS ON THE OTHER SIDE. Mr. Edmunds did not see the matter in that light. The Senate, he said, had the same right to accede to the House propositions as the House had to refuse to accede to Senate propo- sitions, That made the equality of the two houses, If it should happen that, at next session, the House should make too large appropriatious for its employes it would be the mission of the Senate to refuse its assent, and then the boot would be on the other leg. Mr. Plumb defended the action of the House in regard to the amendments, and said that it was not treating the Senate untairly. It was not touching the constitutional prerogatives of the Senate, but ‘vas willing that the Seuate em- ployes should have a fair compensation. He warned the Senate that if the bill should fail the new bill that would be sent over from the House would contain no appropriation at all for Senators’ clerks.

SHALL ALL VOTERS BE ALLOWED TO VoTE? Mr. Boutelle (Me.) said that the naked ques- tion presented was whether those people who were by the Constitution and the laws entitled to the right of suffrage should be protected in the exercise of that right. It was the creed of the republican party that every man who was 8 citizen of the United States should have the rivilege to go to the ballot box and express is will on public questions, AN AMENDMENT REJECTED FERED. Mr. Tucker's amendment was rejected. Mr. Rowell (IIL.) offered an amendment mak- ing it the duty of the circuit judges in each cir- cuit within one month after the passage of this | act to open @ special term of the circuit court | in their respective circuits, and said judges shali appoint for each judicial district three discreet persons of good character and stand- ing, who shall be known as United States juror commissioners, It shall be the duty of such AND ANOTHER OF- commissioners to organize as a board and from time to time make from the qualified voters a__ list of person io under the laws of the United States and of the state shall be eligible for ed duty without respect tu race or color. | ereafter all panels for jurors shall be drawn | by the board in the presence of a district or | circuit judge. OPPOSED THE AMENDMENT. Mr. Springer (Ill) opposed the amendment declaring that the purpose was to pack the juries of the country with republican partisa: It was the culmination of the outrage which was contemplated by the bill, He warned gen- tlemen that they but taught a bloody instruc- tion which, being taught, would return to plague the inventors, The bill was au assault upon popular government. ‘It said to the voters of the country: “You are not capable of holding honest election laws, and we will send federal satraps to supervise and control your elections.” It was a bill to perpetuate the ill-gotten power of the republi- ean party in this House and in the country. Mr. Boutelle declared that in his opening speech the gentleman from South Carolina (tr. Hemphill) had preached the old doctrine of nullification, and he appealed to the young and old in the north to declare that this sort of thing should cone to an end. TENNESSEE'S VOICE FOR A FREE BALLOT. Mr. Taylor (Tenn) said that in his district there was no need for this law. Fraud, intimi- dation and ballot-box stuffing were unknown there. Fidelity to the federal union, love of | liberty, reverence for the national flag, had ever been the prevailing sentiment of his people, But the question was whether he would withhold reliet from his fellow citizens elsewhere, who needed it. He answered a thousand times “no.” The con- trary conclusion would be fair, statesmanlike and patriotic, The duty of the hour was for the Fepresentativ of the people to make by law the strong right arm of the federal ower and wield it until every man every city, town, hamlet and precinct in every state, north, south, east and west, should be free—free under the flag and protected to the fullest extent in the enjoyment of all the privileges, Immunities and franchises by the Constitution guaranteed to every Amer- ican citizen, {Republican applause. ] - _ DON'T COUNT THE cost. e Did gentlemen say that it would cost mil- lions of money and, therefore, it must not come to pass?

Scraytox, Pa., July Notwithstanding the great crowds of democrats that have been fill- ing the streets and the hotels for a day or two the convention hali was very slow in filling up.

It was after 11 o'clock when Chairman Kisner called the convention to order and instracted Secretary d to read the cail, After the call the secretary called the roll The roll call ran along smoothly enough until Biair county was reached, There is a contest m that county and the Pat tison men were placed on the roll, When they were read Mr. Landis, one of the contestants, demanded to be heard. He said the men whose names had been read were uot the delegat from Blair, Chairman Kisner instantly called him to order. Then followed # scene of excitement. The galleries hissed and yelled, “Let him talk.” The other coutestants demanded “Fair play” in loud and angry voices. Chairman Kisner pounded with tas gavel. He finally obtained order and got the Blair man in his seat, He then said that the contest from Blair county would go to the committee on credentials, where it belonged. After this outbreak the roll call ran along smoothly to the end, there being only occasional outbursts of applause for some well-known delegate. There were a num- ber of substitutions, and at the close Chairman Kisner announc that the election of a temporary chairman was in order, Mr. Kubne of Luzerne nominated Eckiey B, Coxe for temporary chairman, and be was elected by acclamation, Chairman Kisner ap- pointed Gen.

Then Mr. Outhwaite Obio) called the attention of the Speaker to the fact that the yeas and nays were demanded: and, upon the Speaker expressing the opinion that the demand came too late, Mr. Outhwaite himself requested that all those favoring the demand should rise. The entire democratic side rose to its feet; but the Speaker entirely ignored it and did not count those rising. He stated. however, that if there was no objection the yeas and nays might be or- dered. There being no objection the Speaker directed the clerk to call the roll, amida vol- ley of protests from the democrats at being — asa favor what they demanded as a right THE AMENDMENT ADOPTED, The amendment was adopted—yeas, nays, 144. ME. HEMPHILL’S AMENDMENT. Mr. Hemphill offered an amendment to sec- tion 32 of the bill to insertthe words “except section 1989 of the Revised Statutes of the United States.” He explained that that section of the bill empowered the supervisors to use the army and navy at the polls, and the par- pose of his amendment was to eliminate that provision. Mr, Lodge denied that the bill had any such effect as stated. Mr. Outhwaite (Ohio) maintained that Mr. Hemphill had nage ype construed the section, He was in favor of all vse Tages President of the United States to exercise such authority, but objected to its exercise by some hircling republican politican, Mr. Blount (Ga.) said that the bill provided for the appointment of partisan supervisors and surrounded those supervisors with United States soldiers, at their and cail, in order to make the voters feel that they were UNDER THE TERRORS OF MILITARY AUTHORITY. Mr. Rowell said that the adoption of the amendment would leave the court without an arm to enforce its judgment. Mr. Allen (Miss.) a that the House had ceased to be a deliberative body. It made him so mad that he was almost willing to go to the other end of the Capitol—that is, if the Speaker did not abolish the United States Senate in socordance with his program. Laughter,] He had listened to speeches cast- 150; ing rsions upon his section and his ponpla. He knew of no liamentary language consistent with his standing in the church—in which to characterize those as they deserved to be characte: A TEST VOTE. Mr. Springer moved to lay the bill on the table and thus defeat it. This motion was beaten by 149 yeas to 155 nays. The only republicans to vote in favor of the motion were Messrs. of _ Lebtbach thusiastically, and after beimg introduced briefly addressed the convention, MK. COXE GETS DOWN TO BUSINESS, Mr. Coxe said: fellow democrats: I am honored by the great honor you have conferred on me today in calling me to preside over this body. The people of the United States—working men and business men—who have the future Prosperity of their country at heart should ‘tremble when + look at the state of affairs at Washington. I have had business friends of mine who differ with me in opinion say to me, if we only had a democratic President ‘at Washington—but I am not going We are here to act, not to > utlemen, it is for you to do the work and for me to sit here and look at you.

Mr. Sowden moved that the committee on permanent organization, credentials and resolutions be appointed. This was agreed to, The appointment of a commit- tee on credentials was the first taken up, and the committee appointed is conceded to be com> trolled by the Pattison people. A RECESS TILL TWO O'CLOCK. After the committee had been named Mr, Samuel Josephs of Philadelphia moved that when the convention adjourned it should be te meet at 2 o'clock. This was agreed to.
