APPROFRIATION BILLS PASSED BY THE SENSep_A cON TER TO TR ELECTED—A HO¢ SESSION IN THE HOUSE—A VOTE ON THE SENAT, RECONSTRUCTION MEASURE TO BE TAKEN TO-DAY ) CLOSE VOTE EX- PECTED—THE TARIFF BILL LEFORTED TO THE HOUSE _AMENDMENTS OF THE HOUSE COMMITTEE. B1 TALRGRAPH TO THE TRIRUNE. WASHINGTON, Monday, Feb. 18, 197 In the Senate to-day the members looked much the worse for wear after the long siege lasting, with but eight hours intermission, from Friday morning till Sunday wmorning. There was very little business transacted. The bill for the election of Congress Printer by the Senate was passed. It is understood that the new office will be conferred upon Mr. John D. Defrees, late Superintendent of Public P nting. The salary is $4,000 a year. The Diplomatic Appro- priation bill called up the old dispute about Mr. Harvey. Money for the support of the mission was appropriated, but the law of last session prevents Mr. Harvey from getting any of it, as it provides that no money shall be paid to him for any future service as Minister to Portugal. Nothing else of importance was done this afternoon. The Scnate meets this evening for miscellaneous business. In the Senate to-night, on motion of Mr. Grimes, the appropriation for the contingent fund of the State Department was reduced 1 $60,000 to $30,000, after a debate in which the Secretary of State was eulogized as a patriot by Garret Davis, and denounced a8 a bell-ringer by Saulsbury. The report of the Con- fere Committee on the Tenure of Office bill was | agreed to, and when agreed to by the House the bill will be ready for a veto. The point at issue was the right of the President to remove Cabinet officers without the consent of the Senate. As finally agreed to, Cabinet officers are inelnded with others who can- sot be removed without the consent of the Senate, but a proviso is added that they shall continue in office during the term of the President by whom they were appointed, and for one month thereafter, sub- Ject to removal by the consent of the Senate. To-day being Monday, a call of States for bills and sesolutions for reference was the first thing in order in the House. Noell again brought up his Woman Suffrage bill, and read a very witty speech on the subject: at least, no one in the galleries could hear bim, but members around langhed a good deal at What he was reading. W hen he had finished, it was | ten minutes of two, and the House took up the Mili- tary Reconstruction bill, as passed by the Senate. During the first two hours of the session there was a Jarge amount of cancusing and comparing of notes among the members on the floor. Thad. tevens's eeat was continually surrounded by members of all partics, who songht to obtain his views of the amended bill. The Democrats were busily engaged, st the same time, in consultation as to the course they shonld take on the bill. Le Blond, Eldridge, Finck, Hise, and Niblack were all active in compar- tng notes and posting the Democratic side as to the manner in which they shonld act. It was evident from the actions of those on the floor that the Recon struction bill was the sole object of interest mnong the members, and there were great doubts to the disposition of the bill as it came from the Senate. Mr. Stevens, when the bill was re ported to the Honse, immediately moved the non- coneurrence of the House in the Senate amendments, and asked for o Committee of Conference. Mr. | Spalding moved a conenrrence in_the amendments, | and Mr. Randall, on behalf of the Democracy, moved | to lay the Lill on the table. Mr. Stevens's motion took precedenee, and he yielded fiftcen minutes of his time to Mr. Boutwell, who spoke forcibly in oppo- | sition to the Senate amendments. He was followed by Mr. Stokes of Tennessee, who spoke for ten win- utes against the bill. Mr. Stevens then wade a speech of fifteen minutes duration, condemning in | severe terms the Senate amendments, and advocating | & Conference Committee, in which he thonght a bill oould be arranged satis: ¢ in two howrs time. When Mr. Stevens had finished, Mr. Randall re newed his motion to lay the bill on the table, but Mr. Blaine obtained the floor and spoke ten minutes, favoring the amended bill. He replied to the re warks of Mr. Stokes, denying that the bill gave nni- versal amnesty. Mr. Wilson of lowa succeeded Mr. Blaine, and stated he would vote for the bill, al- though it was not all that he wished, but on account of the short space of time left for Congress to act, the Dbill as amended was better than nothing. Wilson's speech was full of force and earnestnes, and evidently had great effect in chang- Ing the minds of many of the Radical members who | afterwurd spoke in favor of and voted for the bill. Bingham next took the floor, and spoke for ten min- ates in support of the Senate amendments. There was nothing that was new in his spec Most of bis remarks were confined to telling the House he would | not be dragooned into supporting the crotchets of men likeStevens and Bontwell. Farnsworth next occnpied five minutes’ time in telling the House he wonld vote for the bill. Schienck followed, taking the same ground in favor of the bill as did Wilson, at the samé time stating that by voting for it he did not wish to be considered a Johmson m field, Baker, and Thayer then had five minutes each, when Blaine de- manded the previous question on the Honse con- | ourring in the Senate amendments. At this period | of the proceedings, some little confusion oceurred, | caused by several members attempting to get the floor. During the debate, Blaine and other leading | Conservative Republicans were very active in can- vassing among wembers as to the way they intended voting. The Democrats were equally active, and showed signs of a determination to delay nothing. When the debate was finished, it was very evident that the bill, asamended by the Senate, would pass by a large majority. State delegation had a | private caucus, and when the vote was taken each member knew pretty well how the vote would stand. | { Randall's motion to lay on the table was voted dc by s strict party vote. The previous question | sn concurretice in the ate amendments was to 64, all Republicans | vote of 8 the following Messrs. Banks (Mass.), Hotebkiss (N. Y.), Sidney Clarke (Kansas), Julian | {Ind), Highy ( Stokes, (Tenn.), Wentworth (1), Sloan (Wis). Cobb (Wis.), Loan (Mo.), Kelso tlowa), Scofield (Pa.), Ward (N.Y.), Paine (Wis.), Pike (Me.), Grinnell dowa), Harding (1), Amell | (Tenn.), Baxter (Vt), Boutwell (Mass), Brandagee | Conn.), Bromwell (HL), Stevens (Pa.), Buckland | ‘Ohio), Dennelly (Minn), Eckley (Ohio), Hawkins “Tenn.), Holmes (N. Y.), Williams (Pa.), and Sawyer | (Wis.) Before the main question was put, several Democrats appealed for time to debate, and asked | for a recess. Time for debate was promised them, and the main question was then ordered by a vote of | 103 to 60, all the Democrats and the following Repub- licans voting in the negative: Messrs, Banks (Mass.), Baxter (Vt.), Brandagee (Coun.), Boutwell (Mass.), Bromwell (1), Buckland (Ohio), Sidney Clarke (Kansas), Cobb (Wis.), Donnelly (Minn,, Harding (1), Hawkins (Teun.), Holmes (N. Y., Hotchki by Democrats and in the then seconded the (N. Y)), Paine (Wis.), Pike (Me.), Sawyer (Wis.), Sloan | (Wis.), Trowbridge Mich.). Wentworth (111, and Williamns (PaJ). It will be seen by this vote th o number of Republicans who voted against seconding the demand for the previous question voted in favor of ordering the main ques- tion, among them Mr. Stevens. When the vote was announced, Mr. Stoveus obtained the floor again, and sanounced that debate should go on to-night. Before ‘aking a recess, Hotchkiss and Bromwell addressed e House. The Democrats are debating the measure o-night. ‘While the debate was at its hight in the House to- day, Gov. Fenton of New-York, ex-Postmaster-Gen- eral Dennison, Sir Frederick Bruce, English Mivister, and Senators Sherman, Wade, Lane, Ct swart, Williams, Kirkwood, Trumbull, avd Hendricks occu- | vote. | veduced on others. | somewhat advanced over those of the .0 to overflowing, and the greatest interest was manifested in the proceedings. The House met again at 7:30 this evening. Imme- diately after the session began, an arrangement was made whereby a vote will be taken to-morrow at 11a.m. The House galleries were crowded to excess this evening, and most of the members were present in their seats. The greatest excitement and interest existed among both members and spectators as to the fate of the bill. Althongh the main question on the motion to concur in the Senate amendments was ordered by such a large majority, it is no indication of the passage of the bill. Many who will vote against the bill on its final passage voted in favor of the main question, in order to bring the matter fairly before the House and fight it squarely, and leave mno room for complaint. Donnelly Highy, Banks, Loan, and others spoke this evening against coneurring in the Senate amend- ment, Woodbridge, Hill, Da and Dawes spoke in favor of a concurrence, while Niblack, Finck Hise, and Ross spoke against the bill altogether.. The House adjo dat alate hour, with no one knowing defini il fate of the Will {o-morraw. The Stevens men made a canvass'of members and connted 82 members against concurring in the Senate amendments, and 81 for coneurrence. On the other haud, the friends of the bill canvassed the House, and reported 83 for and 80 against. Blaine's canvass makes 80 members in favor of the bill. It is claimed this number will carry it through, as a mber of Republicans and Democrats who re opposed to it will absent themselves and not Absentees may come in, however, and change all calenlations made. Telegrams have Lpen sent to absent members who can arrive in time to come onat once. Itis said that the Democrats of the Tennessee delegation, a portion of the Democrats of the Kentneky delegation, and twoor three of the New-York delegation will vote for the bill, if neces- ary, in order to pass it. 8o the fate of the bill issaid to lie with the Demoeracy. Some assert that the putting off the vote on the bill until to-morrow is a dodge of the Democeracy to allow the bill to pass, and let the Vresident keep it the necessary 10 vetoing it at the last moment, and then th filibuster through the remainder of the session, and prevent its passage over the This is less probable, as it is also asserted that the President will sign the bill if passed. Gov. Fenton arrived here this morning, and visited both branches of Congress to-day. It is understood that he advised the adoption of the Sherman substi- tnte as the most acceptable action of Congress nnder existing eireumstanc He had an extended inter- w with (he President to-night.

The amendments of the Senate were referred to the Com- mittee of Ways and Means some days ago, and to- nighg they reported a large number of amendments to the e amendwents, restoring to a great ex- tent the original House rates. The Committee re- duce the duty on salt from 24 and 30 cents as fi the Senate to 16 and 22 cents s bushel, and on linseed to 20 cents a bushel, and ad- vance the duty on steel 1) cent over the Senate rates, with eorresponding advances on many arti- cles of hardware.

This bill was Jald aside temporarily, and the Senate took up the bill for the eleetion of @ Congress printer, which was read. A& amended by the Senate, it makes a printer an officer to be elected by the Senate, and aboliehes the present office of Superintendent of Public Printing. The salary is fixed at $4,000. Mr. ANTHONY (Kep., R. L) explained the object of the bill to be to make the officer named in it immediately re- sponsible to Congress instead of to the President. Mr. WILLIAMS (Rep., Oregon) inquired of Mr. An- ho f he was sure that there was no constitutional ob- Jjection to this bill. The Constitution provides that all officers of the United States shall be appointed by the President, and he (Williams) was not sure that the Public Printer could be regarded in any other Light than that of an officer of the United States. Mr. ANTHONY thought it competent for the 8enate to elect a printer, and make him one of its own officers. Mr. LANE (Rep., Ind.) thought the Benate had a perfect right to choose an officer to superiutend the printing of its proceedings and jonrnals, The bill was then passed as amended and goes to the House for copeurrence in amendment.
