Preparations for the Inaugural, HOUSE. Spocial diepateh to Tux Bsx Wasmixoros, D. C., March 2.— The house met at one o'clock. Tacker moved the main question of the seuate amendment on the funding bill which was peoding when the house took & recess last night. Mr. Conger moved a recess, and! a quoram voting, a ca'l of the house was ordered. Nearly en hour was con- sumed in the celling of the roll. The house did not adjourn till just before eleven, but determined to con- tinue right on as io Taesday's session. Mr. Tucker ylelded to Mr. Me- Mshon to report back the defliclency appropzlation bill, and gave notice that as 8oon as the latter was disposed of he would esk the house to resume consideration of the funding bill. Mr. Tacker says be will push the fanding bill es goon as the deficlency bill is disposed of, and will yield to nothing except conference reports or high privileged ques fors. -1t will take an hour or louger to dispose of the de- ficiency bill. Opponents cf the funding bill hae concladed to abandon further fili- busterirz, The reason of this chunge of pohey is that assarances have becn received that the president has decided either to veto the bill, if it sho resch him, or allow it to fail by with- holding bix signature. On a yea and nay vote zl:x -‘:ue:ra:h s sent in—146 % “The: wwards of bonds be mude 1o ben afide subscribers for two thousand dollars orless. In other words, that it stand as it passed the senate, Filibustering on the refunding bill was resumed,membera meactime con- sidering the propositionof a_compro mise madeby Mr. Carlisle, Hepropos od thatthe funding bill be passed juet as it came from the senate, and that the democrats will then help the re publicans rush through the sapyls mentary bill embracing the amend- ments sgreed on by the waya and means committee Saurday. ~These relate to the manuer of placing the new loan, and provide that nothing shall be construcd to {mpair the sec- tions of the statute which allow banks desiring to go into liquidation to eur- render theur circulation by depositing lawfal money in the treasury. Mer. Tucker then offered certain anendments of not very practical im portance to the fourth section. Ta.- were rejected by a vote of 88 to 126. Me. Tacker then moved a coucur reace In the senate amencment to the tfth section, fixing July as the time alter which 3 per cent bonds shall bo Teceivable as security for clrcul.tion, otc., pendiog which Mr. Conger moved to make it September; also to strike out of the section the provision | repealing the section of the act of June 20, 1874, providing for the re dustribution of nltivn;‘ bank circulas tion. It was agreed that this shogld be debated. v After a running debate on the gen- eral purposes of the funding bill, which was kept up f-r some time, and the smendments having all been of. fered and voted upop, the refunding bill was declared paseed, as it came from the senate. Mr. Carlisle then offerad a susple- mental bill. It proposed to_enact, as a law, the very clauses which the ro publicans had fooght for, snd which been rejectod as amended. Tne majority would not consent to amend the orlginal bill, becaase it would have togoback to the senate, but under the supplemental, the first section was smended s0 as to provide that the awards of subscripticns shall be made, 1n the order of time of subacriptions, thus nullifying the provision for award te a subscription of $2,000 or less. It also smended the fourth section, to conform to the recommendation of the ways ‘and means committee, and added a proviso with regard to sec tion 5220 and others of the revised statutes, which were rejected s smendments to the eriginal bill. A long discussion ensued on this bill. The point was made thst the house could uot amend an act which had not yet recelved the sivnatare of either the apeaker or the president. This was overraled by the epeaker on the ground that the house bad the right at any time to correct its ewn action The democrats were tauuted with passing a bill that required correction immediately, to which Mr. Carlisle re- plied that if 2 threst had not been made that the bill wonld be defested by sending it back to the senate, all amendments would have been adopted. Mr. Carlisle’s supplemental bill was then adopted with hardly a dissenting volce, after which the house ad- journed.

Tue seuate was engaged nearly all day in consideration of the sundry civil bill. Most of the amendments from the committes on appropriation, aggregating $212,000, were concurred in. An itom incorporated by the sen- @°e committee,appropriating §3,950.73 for the expentes of the McVeagh com- mission in April, 1877, led 10 some sharp debating, in which Messrs. Beck, Coukling snd Thurman took part, and was finally laid on the table without a dissenting vote. An amendment appropriating $20, 000 for the purchase of the private papers of the lae confederate Gen- erals Bragg and P Ik, also led to & de- bate, and was rejected. Ao amendment was_cffered by M. Bayard, authorizing the secretary of #he treasary to apply-any portion of the surplos money in the tzeasury he might deem prud-nt to the purchase or redemption of Unired States bonds, not to bs applied to the smking fund, but to be cavcelled and destroyed. This smendment was adopted, and the sandry civil bill passed, the vito- president affixiug his signatare to the fuuding bill and to the nver and har- bor bill. The house bill supplemental of the funding b.ll, was received from the house and resd for the first time. Mr. Morrill object d to a second reading, aund it was laid aside.

Aftera call of tho absent membere, another motion by Mr. Eaton to adjourn was defeat- ed. Dilatory tactics obtained, and polnts on polidcal tectlcs were an- noucced.

Committees will be made at once, and nothing will be done toward the election of officers, a3y the democrats are eati-ficd with the present orgauization. President Gar- field’s nominations will, judging from the general feeling among demucratic senators, be promptly confirmed, and the semate will adjourn before the vacaacy can befillad, as the house will not be in session. No legislative bus- iness can be considered, therefore no businees, except that cf acting on the nomunations, will come before the scnate, unless that body chooss to tako up the Chir o treaty.
