Washinotoh February 1. The president
pro torn submitted a report from the com-
mittee on internal revenue in respect to tbe
resolution of December Htli In relation to
tho sale ot farms or plantations in South
Curoliua under an act of fur the collec-
tion of direct tax iu the iusurrectioaary dis-
trict. On motion af Mr. AVindom of Minnesota
a resolution was adopted requesting the
president to communicate the correspond-
ence between the executivedepartment and
the diplomatic agents of the Tinted States
relating to the proposed congress of Ameri
can nations iu 18S2.
Mr. Vance of North Carolina asked the
consideration of his bill calling for informa
tion concerning the misconduct or irregu-
larities of internal revenue officials in the
sixth district of N orth Carolina.
Mr. Hoar objected as he regarded the
resolution as a retleetion upon the treasury
department. The motion was not car-
ried. The senate then took up Mr. Morgan's
pending resolution calling for an authentic
statement of all tests made by tbe commit-
tee in reference to heavy ordenance being
built by the United States and also for the
printing of the testimony taken in the last
congress on tlio subject ot neavy ordi
nance.
Mr. Uawley suggested that the amount
of printing required by the res-
olution if it was to coyer
al 1 unprintcd matter of the ordnance
bureaus he supposed it would be illimi-
table A discussion followed iu which Mr.
Morgan explained that his motion was to
have published mutters which tho ord-
nance bureau had suppressed. Ho bud
been informed thai the bureau was in the
hands of a ring interested in certnin inven-
tions and its chief ollicers held patents
upon inventions which the ring had caused
to bo patented. He wanted to have
the whole matter sifted to the bottom und
an opportunity given to American in-
ventors to compete with the favors of thu
bureau.
Mr. Hawley thought the charge of the
senator from Alabama was based upon
the representations of dissatistied in-
ventors who hud not received rc-
wurds they expected. He suggested u
way mere direct and less expensive means
of obtaining the object of the resolution by
the selection of a committee ot the senate to
go over w hat he called a mass of rubbish
and ascertain what proportion ought to bo
primed. He believed tho bureau line and
every governiueni.uepartiuent conducted by
honorable men. A discussm billowed
winch occupied the tune beyond the mom
ing hour and was participated iu by
Messrs. Allison and Hoar. Tho latter ob-
served that the estimated cost of printing
would be $.")UW. Mr. Morgan reiterated
the charges and Mi. Allison explained
that congress provided ut its last session
for an ellioient test of the ordnance
ordered by the government to bo un
independent board. Tho resolution wua
nimlly laid nsitio inlormally without action.
.Mr." Morrill reported from the linancc
committee a bill proposing amendments to
revised statutes so us to authorize collect-
ors naval ollicers surveyors aud inspect-
ors who may have cause to suspect con-
cealment of' merchandise in a particular
store or dwelling to search for and seize the
same.
Thesonato then took up the 3 per ceut.
bond bullion bill. Mr .Morgan advocated
as an additional second on the amendment
as follows: That an agreement made with
the holders of bonds ot the I'uiled States
since the adjournment of the forty-sixth
congress' by which the rate of interest on
such bonds is decreased to 3J per cent per
annum is hereby fully related und
continued according to thu terms
and Intend ot such agreement.
I'pon this amendment a long diicttssion
followed. Caswell explained the hill nnd
the amount to he appropriated was $41331.
:K only $7S.r77 of which would come
out of thu general turn! in the treasury.
The estimated revenue of the posfollice de
partment amounted to $12(4172-'. The
! 'ommittee on appropriations had cut down
J luc r.-itiimuc oi uiu oepiirillieui. ill wvcrill
particulars the principal reduction being
in mo retusiii inappropriate moretnnn fnn-
uoUI'or the purpose of extending tho free letter-carrier
system lhe department u.kinir
for $1600011.
At the conclusion of Caswell's remarks a
general debute on the bill was limltud to
three hours.
I'pon the suggestion of Mr. Iugalls tho
amendment w as modilied by mention or an
express recognition or agreement as valid
ami binding upon the government. Tho
amendment was then adopted without a
vote as also the provision lefcrred to by
Mr. Davis of West Virginia declaring
nothing In the act shall be so construed as
to authorize an Increase of the public debt.
A bill was reported to the senate from the
committee of the whole and the
question being on amendments
as a whole Mr. Sherman asked for
a separate vote on Mr. I'lumb'i amendment
applying surplus revenues over $lnuuooo
to the reduction of lhe pnhlicdcbt. lie said
that if this propoiltior was not stricken out
he and others who had acted with hltn
would be compelled to vote against the bill.
Ho urged upon the senate to appreciate the
importance of maintaining sulllcient re-
servo In the treasury as heretofore in order
that sudden emergencies might be provided
auttlnst ami urged that the proposed reduc-
tion as now made would open tho door to
future attempts in the same direction.
Mr. rtayard took the lloor but yielded to
a motion for an executive session rending
action on the motion the house concurred
iu a resolution fixing the 27th of February
as a day for the Gurlield memorial scivice
and adjourned.
