EXCITEMENT IN THE HOUSE. | Sa Secretary Windom’s Policy Crit- icized in the Senate. MR. PLUMB CALLS FOR INFORMATION. —————— SENATE. Mr. Voorhees introduced a bill to retire the circulation of the national banks, to issue legal tender notes in lieu thereof and to reduce the interest-bearing debt. Referred to the com- mittee on finance, The resolution offered yesterday by Mr. Plumb to recommit the bankruptoy bill to the judiciary committee with instructions to amend itso as to provide for voluntary bankruptcy only was taken up and at the suggestion of Mr. Hoar went over till tomorgow. INFORMATION WANTED OF SECRETARY WINDON. Mr. Plumb offered a resolution directing the Secretary of the Treasury to inform the Sen- ate whether the rule or policy of his depart- ment which requires the payment of checks of silver bullion over the counter of the sub- treasury instead of through the proper clear- ing hot does not result in paying out notes of the larger denominations instead of those suited for circulation and use in ordinary busi- ness transactions, and whether such method of payment does not result in the payment of gold instead of Treasury notes. AS A REASON FOR OFFEMING THE RESOLUTION Mr. Plumb sent to the clerk's desk and had reud a letter from @ member of a New York banking house stating facts as to the payment of such checks and venturing the prediction that the silver question is not finally settled and that New York speculation and accumula- tions of silver threaten to arouse it. “Bank withdrawals of Treasury gold (the writer says) will be seized upon by certain influential jour- nals here unscrupulously, A break in the mar- ket price of silver (and that threatens) at such a time will equal proof of holy writ in support of fears,” u the course of @ discussion on’ the resolu- tion Mr. Plumb spoke of the conspicaous il- lustration that had taken place within the last few weeks of the impolicy of allowing the ‘Treasury Department to obstruct or accelerate the business of the country, For years the Treasury Department, he said, had hoarded money and during all that time the volume of currency had been constantly decreasing on account of tho withdrawal of national bank notes, CRITICISING SECRETARY WINDOM'S POLICY. The Secretary of the Treasury has seen the business of the countzy hampered on account of that lack of money, but he had waited until apanic was impending—not a stock-broker nic, but a stringency of money that affected the banks of all the cities and seriously inter- fered with the operations of ordinary business. And then what had the Secretary done? He had given out the money to the holders of government bonds, under such circumstances asto enable them (and not him) to control the money supply of the country during their psoas. The money which a few days ago ad been in the Treagury and which could havo been put ott at the will of the Secretary was today in the hands of the men who owned bonds to the amount of $20,000,000. And it ‘was perfectly safe to say that those mon having that money would use it to benefit themselves and not in the interest of the people. Nothing but an overwhelming calamity would divorce the Treasury from such malicious Mterference with the business of the country, Mr. Stewart said that he could not conceive any reason why checks given for the purchase of silver bullion should not go through the or- dinary channels of trade in the same way as other checks did, Mr, Allison said that as he understood the law for the purchase of silver bullion st re- quired tho Secretary of the Treasury to pay ‘Treasury notes for it and not checks. MB. SHERMAN SAID that, while he had no objection to the resolu- tion, that which had been done had been done in strict execution of the law. The Secretary of the Treasury had no right to pay for silver bullion in anything but Treasury notes. Those Treasury notes had been issued in large de- nominations. ‘There had been only a very short time to prepare for the execution of ‘the Jaw and a sufhcient amount of ‘Treasury notes of small denominations could not be prepared. Those large notes necessarily did not enter into the general circulation of the country, He (Mr. Sherman) doubted the policy of paying a year's interest on bonds in advance, ‘The financial scare was * & MANUFACTURED scare, It had been got up brokers, by bulls and bears, and various kinds of animals who prac- ticed their trade on the exchange of New York, There was, he admitted, a great demand for money now for moving the cotton and gi crops and perhaps to pay for an increased quantity of foreign goods imported in order to evade higher duties under the new tariff law. Merchants had, to use a vulgar expression, “bitten off more than they could chew,” and were skinning around to borrow moncy, All these things, Mr, Sherman said, would settle themselves ina little while. There was no real serious financial disturbance in the country. 1t was confined to the city of New York, He thought that things should be let goonas they were and that the Secretary of the Treasury should be permitted to use his discretion. MR. PLUMB'S RESOLUTION AGREED TO, After further discussion Mr, I’lamb's resola- tion was agreed to. The Vice President announced his having signed the river and harbor bill, BILLS PASSED, The calendar was then taken up for an hour and, the following bills among others were passed: Senate bill to provide for the sale of certain New York Indian tands in Kansas, Senate bill to extend the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the United “States, as the same is defined in section 709 of the Revised Statutes, to include the judgment and decrees of the highest courts of the Cherokee, Creek, Seminole, Choctaw and Chickusaw tribes of Indians, respectively. Senate bill appropriating $50,000 for a public building at Nevada, Mo. House bill to amend the articles of war rela- tive to punishment on conviction by courts- martial. Senate bill to provide for the inspection of live cattle, hogs and the carcasses and products thereof which are the subjects of interstate commerce, Senate bill referring to the Court of Claims the claim of the Washington iron works for an increase of cost in building the monitor Lenapee. The hour assigned to the calendar having expired the bill to establish a United States land court was taken up, but owing to the ab- sence (through sickness) of Mr. Edmunds, who has charge of the bill, it went over till tomor- Tow. PROPOSED STATUE TO ROBERT DALE OWEN. Mr. Voorhees introduced a bill (which was referred to the library committee) appropriat- ing $20,000 for a statue to Robert Dale Owen in the grounds of the Smithsonian Institution— enactment of the law to establish the institu- tion, having been chairman of its first board of rg om and having many Years of his life to its organization and success, ‘TO REVIVE THE GRADE OF LIEUTENANT GENERAL, A day having been assigned to unobjected cases on the calendar, the bills were (emong others) passed: Senate bill to revive the of bill is as follows: That the grade of lieuten- ant general be hereby _ re-establ: in the army of the United States; and the President of the United States is here- by authorized to nppoint, with the advice and consent of the Senate, a lieutenant general of the army of the United States. Section 2 That the pay and allowances of the lientenant general be the same as heretofore allowed for that grade. HOUSE. After prayer by the chaplain Mr. O'Ferrali (Va.) suggested that there was no quorum present, The Speaker was unable to count a quorum and directed the doorkeeper to notify members in the lobby that their attendance was desira- ble. There were only fifteen democrats present, In the course of half an hour the Speaker an- nounced that 168 members—more than a quo- rum—were present. Mr. O’Ferrall said that he did not question the statement of the Speaker, but he was sure that there were fifty members who would ie al that there were not 168 members in the all, ‘The Speaker remarked that gentlemen would not swear, because there was no opportunity to do so under the rules of the House. [Laugh- ter.] The journal was read and the question arose upon its approval. The result of the vote was— ‘eas 134, nays 0—no quorum—and a call of the louse was ordered. The call showed the presence of one hundred and seventy-eight members and the Speaker directed the clerk to call the roll on the ap- Proval of the journal, MR. CRISP'S POINT OF ORDER. Mr. Crisp (Ga.) rising to a question of order said that du: acallof the House but two motions were in order—to dispense with fur- ther proceedings under the call and to ad- a. Never before has such a suggestion een made as was now made by the Speaker. THE SPEAKER'S RESPONSE. The Speaker—It is time that such a sugges- tion should be made. [(Laughter.] Mr. Crisp—The Speaker is not the master of the House, he is the servant of the House. ‘The Speaker—The gentleman from Georgia need not recommend. Mr, Crisp—The gentleman from Georgia will always insist upon his rights and see that no tyrant takes them away from him. Mr. Rowell (Ill.)—-The remarks of the gen- tleman from Georgia are OUT OF ORDER. z Mr. Crisp—Not more so than the remarks of the chair. The Speaker—The gentleman from Georgia will take his seat, Mr. Crisp—Of course he will, but he will al- ways resent such remarks, Mr, Haugen (Wis.) moved to dispense with further proceedings under the call, FORCING THE DOOR. During the call of the roll the one door which has always been kept open to ailow in- ress and egress was locked, and two door- keepers were stationed at it to prevent the members leaving the hall. The first gentleman to resent this enforced imprisonment was Mr. Kilgore (Tex.), who forced back the slight fastenings and stalked into the lobby, He was soon followed by Mr. Crain (‘Tex.), who adopted the same method of eee Mr. Cummings (N.¥.) and Mr. Coleman (La.) approached the door together. and upon being mtormed that there was “no thoroughfare” manifested such a disposition to break the door from its hinges that one of the door keepers prudently removed the latch and permitted them to pass, After this the rule was some- what relaxed. A Quorum. Further proceedings under the call were dis- | lottery bill to the President immediate! pensed with—yens, 135; nays, 38. ‘THE JOURNAL APPROVED.
