C., February 14.— A motion by Mr. Edmunds to suspend morning business .and consider the Utah polygamy bill was lost—24 ayes, 29 nays. Mr. Saunders, from the committec on Indian atfairs, reported favorably the bill to &mend the act providing for the sl of the remainder of the resorvation of the confederated Otoe and Missour: tribes in Nebraska and Kansas; the main provision is that the proceeds of the sale after the payment of incidental expenses be placed to the credit of the tribes in the United States treasury and bear 6 per cent interest per annum, the income to be annually expended for their benefit. At 2:50 p. m,, the privileged morn- ing business having been finished, the ealendar became the regular order of ‘business under the Anthony rule un- tl 5:30 o’clock. Mr. Vance made a speoch on the taritf commiasion bill. ¢He declared that protection retarded the growth of the south and said protection was the legislation of Dick Tuarpin and Sixtean Stringed Jack levied on the halls of congress instead of on Black Heath Common. Mr. Vance spoke until 4:30, Mr. Edmunds called for the yeas and nays on‘a motion to go mto exec- ative sessiou, stating that he wanted to again test the sentiment of the sen- ate in i egard to the immediate consid- eration of the Utah bill. The mo- tion was lost by a vote of 18 to 29. The polygamy bill was then called up and given precedence of other business. Mr."Edmunds referred to the importance of the measure and said he would ask the senate to dis- pose of it to-morrow. 5 Adjourned at 4:40 p. m. PROCEEDINGS IN THE HOUSE. The judiciary committeereported fa- vorably un the substitute for the bill prohibiting polygamists holding offi- «ces in territories. A communication was received from the postmaster general regarding mail weighing on the railways between New York and Chicago. The bill was favorably reported making Denver a post delivery. The committee on postoffices re- ported favorably the bill making the salary of auxiliary letter carriers from $400 to $600 per year, substitutes from $800 to $1,000. The committee on foreign affairs re- rted back with recommendation to ay on the table resolution calling on the president for all correspondence with England in relation to the im- prisonment of P. H. O'Conner and others now in Irish jails. Mr. Cox moved a substitute asking the president to request from them a speedy trial. The speaker decided kfie substitute out of order as not ger- mane, Mr. Robiuson (N. Y.), who has been for a long time desiring to get in a speech on the subject, got the floor and proceeded to urge that the reso- lution should be adopted. He had been, he said, opposed in all etforts for a free expression on the subject. Nobory had been so earnest in oppos- ing as the gentleman from New Jer- sey (Mr. Robeson). The gentleman had taken occasion to fling anathe- mas, curses and maledictions upon the subject. He has taken occasion to oppose this movement 1n all its steps. “‘Upon what meat do these our Cwsars feeds?” God for- give the gentleman for his unwiiling- ness to see these sufferers succored, If he were to-day in the place of ‘O'Connor and Howe 1n British pris- ons, the house would not be so 4roubled with his objections. He has even retused me one minute in order 4o finsh my speech that I might not go before the country in a ridiculous manner, I have been held down and -8at upon in a manner both unkind and uncourteous, The geatleman has found (ime to give attention to the long-haired mntfietic representative of the Irish race with his sunflowers and knee breeches and buckles, but has no time to devote to suffering Americans in British prisons, These men should be rescued by what means soever that may offor. Is there (addressing the reporter’s gallery) any coward there controlling a pen who will say we could aot rescue them even by force if necessary! Oh, for a Webster or a Clay torise from his tomb and tell you our duty and to reply to the vituperations with which I have been asrailled with the fierceness of the blood hound, mingled with the filth of the polecat. Why, the gentleman from New Jersey has even dared to tell me that I did not know the pre- oepts of law. The fact is, I was his teacher when a boy. A very dull boy he was, too. [Laughter,] Kir. Robeson replied he was ashamed of being the target of every crank who desired to delay legislation 1n order to make political buncombe, His objec- tion had always beon iuterposed to save the gentleman from an exhibi- tion of folly or obstruction of busi- ness. The gentloman complains that he has been sat upon. I am sure 1 his wind ecamo wit attacks have been not o1l meidacious. The gentlemen vever [« taught me anything.

There is no doubt, if that cerification is in viola- tion of the statutes, there is a neces- sity for the bill. It will b found, hewever, that it i3 done uuder such arrangements as are deemod by the bauks and their counsel to bring the act of certilication into harmony with the lotter of the statute. If tiat be true, then the bare enactment by con- gress that will declare violation of the statute shall be a misdemeanor would not bring any practical result, and there is no preseut necessity for the passage of it. I apprehend the bill will not effect the object of the honorable senator who framed and in- troduced it. The question will still remain after the pussage of the bill: violations of the statutes? This will be a question for a jury under a rul- ing of trial by court, and it is casy to foresee that not much will be effect- ed. In mv judgment tnere should be mquiry into some arrangements by and under which certifications are effected, and if these arrange- mentsand acts of certification under them are looked upon us responsible, a bill should be framed that will de- fine what particular thiugs should be deemed and declared misdemeanors. » AT T T Small Pox, WasniNGroN, February 14.—The navy department was informed this afternoon two new cuses of small pox are on board the United States steamer Tennessee at Norfolk.
