WasuiNeros, December 16.—The morning hour business having been disposed of, the senate at 12:30 pro- ceeded to coneider the bills on the cal- endar, to which no objections were made. Among the patitions presented in the morning hour was_one presented by Mr. Hoar, with a highly eulogistic endoisement of the signors, from the American Women's Saffrage associa- tion, now in session in Washington, praying for the suffrage in the terri- tories. ~ Referred to the committee on territories. Mr. Burns moved that when the senate adjourned to-day it be to meet on Monday. Rejected by a vote of 11to 31 Mr. Morrill introduced a bill to fa- cilitata appeals from a decision of the comuiissioner of patents. {Referred to the committee on paten Mr. Cameron (Pa) introduced a bill to authorize the secretary of war to change the arms of the National Guard of Pennsylvania. Referred to the committee on military. The senate then proceeded to the cousideration of bills on the calendar, to which no objection was made. A number of bills of local interest to the District of Columbia, were con- sidered by the senate, but passed over without action. . Mr. Maxey infroduced a bill author- izing the president to place Gen. 0rd on the retired list with the raok of major-General his eminent servi military committee. The resolution of the house fora Boliday recess was read and referred to the aporopristion committee. Mr. Eaton wasat his request ex- cused from farther service of the com- mittee to enquire into the civil service, The educational bill came up at half past one o'clock as the order. Mr. Teller moved to strike out that portion of the Third section, which provides for the establishment of & fand, and addressed the senate, urg- ing that the great necessity of the present day required the annual dis- tribution of the totalsum accruing. He aleo advocated sn amount pmfls- ing for the distribution of the money according to illiteracy rather than ac- cording to the school populatio Mr. Teller favored the billas calcula- ted to fres the paople from secttonal- iem, and raise them to a higher Spectas Diny n consideration of Referred to the plain Mr. Vest, while believing in the ne- cessity for unisersal cducation, did not believe the education of their peo le should be taken from the state. e could not vote to give the power to 8 subordinate oficer of the govern- ment, the commiesioner of education, | to withbold the fand as pr. the ninth section of the bill, after the state had, through their legislature, | formally accepted the trust. At 3 o'clock Gen. Grant, a:compa- nied by Generals Logan and Beal, en- tered the senate chamber thr. coat room on the republica; nd were warmly greeted by the souators in the vicinity. His appearance made somo confusion_in the seuzte, and considerable stir the galleries, so that Mr. Vest was izperfectly heard, “ud suspended his romarks, Mr. Edminds said tho ex-president f the United States was on the floor, #nd that many senators desired to pay their respects after his long absenve from the country. He moved are- cess of ten minutes, which waa agroed to. The senators then passed over and greeted the distingaishied viitcr. This ceremony over, Mr Vesi re sumed his remarks in opposition of feature of the bill indicated. Mr. Eaton suggested a lower rate of interest than 4 per csnt. conld be cbtained by the government. Mr. Hill said- ordinarily ho would with the senator from Connecti- cat, but in this case, where the inter- est was patd for the benefit of the people, he would vote foreven a high- errate of interest. Tho a ant that the bill interfered with the righ of states was wrong. On the con. trary, it recognized thevights of ¢ 1n placiog the funds at their dispozal, being a donation from the gonersi government. It had a righ scribe the terms oa whica it shonld be used, and his argoment_would ba derelict if it failed to proviie agaiost misapplication. Mr. Maxey agréed that the color:d people who wers froed from slavery by the war, were necesuarily pon: educated. That their education w1 b- essential to the perystnity of lican institwitons, and that inc:m sa they were citizeus, with all the rights of citizenship, by the foderal government, it was but justice that the government should assist in their education. Mr. Morgah adVocated the incor- Pporation 1a the billof en amendatory clause to the act of 1862, for the endowment of esricaltiiral colleges, making the admiesion of women ¢ these schools compolsory, and in th > course of his remarks statcd that fourteen of the thirty-cight states, women were excluded from fou:tes of these achools, owirg to doubt 21 unc:rtainty as to the constitutionelity of the adt, Mr. Morrell closed the debate with an appeal to the senate tovo e for the bill substantially as repesicd, Mr. Wallace moved to go into ex- ecutive session, but the motion was opposed by friends of the bill, who ineisted a vote could be taken as un- understood yesterday, when it was agreed thai a vote shou'd be takqn at 4 o'clock to-day. Mr. Kont Sontended that because Mr. Morgan had exceed:d the time half an hour, the senat relieved of their obligations. Mr. Blaine urged a fafthful adher- ence to the sgteements made by the senate. The motion to gointo ex- ecutive session, was voted dow {fr, Burnside, who had chargs of th8'bill, said the agreement wes made by unauimons consent, and if any sen- ator desfred to spaak on the bill he would ask the unanimous consent to postpone it until half past 2 o’clock to-morrow, Mr. Bdmunds, who was absent when the former agreement wes made, was opposed to the proposition on the ground that no senator should fecl that his mouth was closed when he concelved it his duty to speak. Oir- cumstances might ariseor amendments be offered on which he might fecl it his duty to speak. Hedid not intend, unless upon very exceptionsl cases, to bind himself by wny such sgreement. Afier half an hour spent i fruit- less efforts to reach an agreement, as to when a vote should be taken, Mr. Burnsidemoved to adjourn, giving notice that he would ask the friends of the bill to stand by him until the Dill was disposed of. Senate at 5 p. m. adjourned. HOUSE, As soon as the journal Lad been read to-day, Mr. F. Wood, by dirce- tion of the ways and means commit- tee, offered a resolution for a recess from Wednesday December 2°, to Tuesday January 4. The resolution was_adversely received by alarze number of gentlemen who sxid there was no necessity for a recess, and that the public business demanded that congress should remain in session. Ona vote by letter, there were 101 votes in the affirmative and 46 in the negative, whereupon the yeas aud nays were demanded, which resulted in the adoption of the resolation by a vote of 125 to 74. The consideration of the pension appropriationbill to-day led to spirited political dfscussion, all growing out of the question of which party ehould have the credit of originating and passing the arrearage pemsion bill This has been a question in campiizns for the past two years, democrats and republicans both claiming it. There was really no oceasion to bripg the question up on a Lill sppropriating money, but it afforded an opportunt ty todo so, which was eagerly avai edof. Mr. Hubbell, of Michigan, who had charge of the bill, explained that it appropriated §50,000,000. The sam appropristed for the curcent fiscal year was $32,404,000, but ss there was a deficiency of $7,500,000, which would have to be mer, and as the sum required for the next year would not be less, the committee thought it best to report the full amount at once. Mr. Hubbell then proceeded to give some startling figures #s to the 2mounts re- quired to pay penaions. He disclaim- ed any hostility to the arresrs bili, but felt bound to give the facts. Up to November 4, 1880, the sam of over thirty-four million dollars had been paid out under the arrears act. The sverage sum paid to esch pensiimer was $508. There are still 281,981 claims for arrears to be considered, and the average arrears in each cise will be $1100. Supposing that 30 per cent of these claims be_disallowed, there still will remain 197,818 claims for arrears to be psid which, at an - | erage of $1100, will amount to $21 599 800, which, with the amounis paid, will make the arrears cost in all, the sum of §242,287,000. The aver- age anpual payments, after the first yment, is $103.64 Tho average PR a penrioner issisty ne. venres 30 that for years an_annual appropri- ation cf $46,460,418 will be ceqaired. In view of the vast sums that are ex- by the pension office, it is worthy of the mast serious considera- tion of congress whether a greater ided in | h the | - | getting dun- | ssfeguard shounld not be thrown around our sy:tam of payments, He aseeried that nnder our present syse tem, out of $50,000,000 psid, ut least 4,000,000 wae prid upon freululent claims, M., 8p s, of which General Rice, of Ohio, had bozn chairmain, wheroupon Mr. i Fort, of 10 safd tho hil corrected him, snd tance | of Mr. | Mr. Hoskell, of Kameas, here inter- posed.
