THE HOUSE.
Washington, Feb. 24 -It was agreed
that the debate on 'he president's veto
of the dependent pension bill should run
until 4 o clock. Then the previous ques
tlon should be considered as ordered.
Congir (Iowa) thought the report • f
the committee on invalid pensions was a
complete answer to the president's hy-
perbolic criticisms on the measure.
He commented upon the action of the
president In vetoing the pending meas-
ure, and yet signing the Mexican pen-
■lon bi 1. Baying he did not ihlnk that
the patriotic people were ready to en-
dorse such action, or commend iheir
chief ruler for taking it. No protest h»d
come against this bill except from the
Southern states and from tlie money
centers. Had it come to this that Wail
streel and the solid south weresoinsiri
mental in eleciing the chief executive
that ihey command him to approve a
measure which mured to the benetlt of
nen who had fought against their coun-
try's fla*, and to wilhhold bis
approval from one for the
benetlt of those whose sufferings
Had saved the nation and made it greal?
He bad no apology to offer for vot.ng
to pass over the veto a bill which tuei
with the approval of over three-fourths
of the peopie of the country.
Warner, of Missouri, sain the question
presented was whether the house would
-tand bv ihe brave men of 1SB1 and IMio,
who were dependent on their daily 1«-
'ior for a support, or by ihe president
who refused to sign a bill which would
lake old soldi rs out of ihe alms houses.
• he country should blu h lo see one ol
he least of its defenders an inmate of a
country poor bouse.
O'Hara, of North Carolina, favoied
he bill and criticised the ruling of the
pension office, denying aid to colored
women who had lost their sons
the war. The colored
men did not go into the
war, as the president indicated, for dol-
lars and cents. When the Fifiy-fourtli
nd Fifty fifth Massachusetts regi-
nents, composed exclusively of colored
men. went out and the paymasier offer-
ed to pay them less than to other regi-
ments, because they were black, they
purned the money and said, -No. we
UlttUl'l/tj u» mini yvu yo>j vwuvi
iers, we will .fight for our flag and
country without compensation."
Mr. Bayny. of Pennsylvania, favored
ihe passage of the "bill over the veio.
The bill, he said, was being opposed by
me most corrupt and most hypocritical
methods that ever had been employed
to defeat or promote legislation.
Mr. Bragg, of Wisconsin, thought
that the time bad arrived when the pen-
ion question should receive more than
: .iual consideration It was time for
(lie members of the house to get out
rom the roseate bubble in which they
lived in Washington, prepared lor them
by claim ag<^nt>. anil l<K>k after the In-
terest of the real soldier and the bus
ness interests of the country. Tbey
bad drifted along impelled by sympa-
bet c influence, rega dless of reason or
judgment, until a period was reached
which culminated in the patsage of one
of the most scandalous bills which had
ever been sent to the president for his
signature. The people of the country,
ulthout regard to party, has every rea
-on to be thankful Uat this bill bad been
presented to an executive who had back-
oone enough to meet the situation. In
a few years the soldiers of the country
(not the bummers) would have arrived
at an age wuere be could come to con-
gress and demand as a right,
not ask as charity—that provision be
made for them. Let not congress bank-
rupt the treasury before that time ar-
rived by yielding (o ibe demands of de
serters, eoflee coolers and bounty jump-
ers. If the gentleman from Pennsylva-
nia (Mr. Baynel would read the National
tribune, published in Washington by
men who received Irom $25,00u to $45,-
uOU per month i.s fees from pensioners—
blood money taken from the soldier
whom tuey pretended to love—he would
lind in every column some abuse of the
president ami those who thought
differently from them as to the
propriety of the measure. Such news
papers as this which profes-ed to be the
friends of the s ldiers.were such friends
as vultures were frle ds of dead bodies,
because they led and fattened on theiu,
Ii had been charged that ne was not a
friend of the soldier. To that be replied
that no man who had served with bis
troops in the Held for four years, who
had followed the starry flag In flf y or
-ixty pitched baltleB.would forget them.
Ii was for that class of soldiers
that he stood here to-day, lo
defend them against the imputation cast
upon them by the passage of the pauper
pension bill. No man who had enjoyed
the delight of riding down a line that
was wavering and breaking in the pres-
ence of the enemy, and heard a cheer
three time* three go up—a cbeerof con-
fidence and joy that the leader bad
come—could ever forget his comrades.
Who that has ever seen those men rush
tng Into battle thoughtless ol themselves
nd their homes.ready to lavdown their
live- for their country could eve: forgei
ihem, or be willing that they should be
classed as pant ers and placed on the
roll with the collee coolers of the army?
The men whoadvocnted ibis bill, were
not the friends of the true soldier.
They advocated this bill, many of tbem.
simply because the men conld vote
they expected to buy.
Mr. Henderson, of Iowa—For one I
pronounce that false. [Applause on the
republican side and In i be galleries ]
Mr. Bragg—I sav that that Is the sub-
stratum upon which all ibis action Is
based. If these men whom they call
paupers were to call upon them and ask
them Individually for aid. thev would
ay to the in: "You good-for-nothing
scoundrels, you are as competent to
work as we' are." (I.augbfer and ap
planse on the republican aide). The Im-
putation la east upon them bv the pass-
age of the pauper pension bill. This blli
would grant tensions to men who «erved
from December, 1864, to Juno, 1*>5. Who
were these men? T:»y car? the acqm
of the earth. They «ere the scum. are.
and dregs-They staid at home until they
were bought—bought by men who
-peculated in blood, paid from $10" to
$800, with a private assurance that they
were physically so defective that ail
they had to do was to go to the hospital
and not em angerib> Ir precious carcass-
es. Gemlem n talked about soldiers
being In almshouses! I he men who were
found ibere, were the men who had
come from them and who, when ttev
had left the army hsif4a|>sed into their
old condition. No tifce, brave soldier
need ever go to the poorhou-e. Men
who went there, wet* native* there,
hey had no selfresnw. no character.
Ihey la* down andopened their mouths
for a teat .o suck.
Mr. Steele, of Indlaaa. interjecied a
remark.
Mr. llragg said that he knew that the
gentleman who had Just interrupted
him, if he dared to Voie according
his conscience, woula vote as lie (Mr
Bragg) did. He knew geiitletrcn who
had committed themselves dny after dav
in opposition to the principlei>f the hill,
and were grateful for tke veto, (t'rles of
who are they?) I know what I am
talking about. I have heard them. (He
ppated cries of "Name them, name vour
men. You can't do it !")
The republican congressmen-all of
tbem! was Mr. Bragy's reply, which
was greeted with mingled applause,
laughter and jeers. The spectators « ho
tilled the galleries to theirutmost capac
Ity, and who listened eigerlv to all thai
was said on the 11 "or. tyov took part in
demonstrations of disapproval and ap-
uroval, and though wlhout adding to
the noise and confuapm anfflclenty to
Justify the speaker in ordering a clear
Ingot the gal,eries, gaVe vehttothel
feelings until the close of debate by fre
quent applause.
Mr. Bragg declared t;at the press of
the country was opposed to the bill
I'hose gentlemen who sat up aloft
(pointing to the press trailerv), might
some time or other turn this Idg pension
boom inio a much larger boomerang in
some gentleman's district. [Applause ]
"We have fared as well In our district
as the gentleman has in his," exclaimed
Mr. Henderson, of Iowa, and this allu
liision to Mr. Itragg's failure to secure n
renomlnation was greeted with loud and
continued laughter on the republican
9ille.
Bragg repeated that ihe press wes on-
posed to the bill. The great republican
paper of his 6tate stood by ibe president.
The great republican papers of Ohio
sustained, the president. The great re-
publican paper of Pennsylvania slood
side by side with the president. The
papers of New York, almost without
distinction of party, stood by the presi-
dent, That gallant soldier, governor of
Maine, Chamberlain, stood by the presi-
dent.
Yes,-'cried Mr. Bontelle, "and he
stands alone in Maine." (Applause on'
the republican side ) •*' I speak for
Maine." (Jeers of the democrats and
cries of '• sorry for Maine.")
Mr. Bragg, continuing—Palmer, of
Illinois, stood by the President. Gover-
nor Cox. of Ohio, stood by the presi
dent. Old Dan Sickles, of Ihe Third
army corps, said that the veto was a
most g orlousdeed. Brave men of all
parlies rtood In the president. It was
only little minds that went buzzing
about, like Insect;, that opposed him, .
Mr Bragg—No staff cflkVpresldeut.
ever exciie me. i am speaking for
what I consider the soldiers' interest.
I he largest Grand Army post in my
state voted yesterday not to
ask thq members of con-
gress to go against the President
Ii is oniy a class of gentlemen who hang
around the Grand Army posts who
crowd themselves in to get $5 a week,
nd to live upon their coturaues, who
are making this grand hue and cry. A
soldier prefers to stand by his record,
and asks not that congress shall mark
him as a beggar. He wants to have ii
understood that he Is in private life, as
he was In ihe army, a soldier liglitlnu
for the maintenance of the Union,loving
his country, and not askin - to
be supported by It Whv. look
at the effete confederate soldiers,
without hope lolling day by day and ex-
hibiting a thrift. Industry and energy
never expected of them,while the north-
ern man, Independent, self-reliant, In-
dustrious, energetic and enterprising,
lags behind into idleness. Why? Be-
cause lie is walling lor his stipend to
come from the government, and when
that stipend comes it is spent quickly,
and if lie comes from the poor house be
lapses back Into that position a< d waits
for another stipend. Humanity only
needs to be em.ourged to do nothing.
We are liable to drop Into a do nothing
policv If we can get somebody to support
us. and It Is not irood public policy for
u< to legislate to encourage vagabond-
ism, whether among our soldiers or cit-
izens.
Mr. Steele, of Indiana—How about
the Mexican pension Mil ?
Mr. I Vagg-I have Said that I wished
the president had veloed It. It is inti-
mated that that bit benefitted the Con-
federates. I ask any one of you. bigot-
ed as von may he. if you did not get
some of the pork ? You all voted for
the bill, and now you have discovered
It is a monstrosity.
The house refused to pass the depend-
ent pension bill M'er Ihe president's
veto by a vote of 175 yeas to 125 nays.
Thl« was not the constitutional two-
thirds In the affirmative. The result
was received with applause on the dem-
ocratic side and hissei from the republi-
can side.

Mauno I .on. in the Mamlwich Islands, Is
on a rampage. Major Benson, of the
Lulled Mates army, visited tlie coast
where iheflow oflava entered the sea
He thus described the scene witnessed
by him after nightfall on January •illil
With Increased darkness polni after
point of lire was developed along the
entire course of ihe flow, until the cill
minatlon was reached at 1:80 In the
morning, when the liquid lire neh bed
forth Irom the cratei far above to the
height of a hundred and fifty feel.
Major Ben-ou traveled tothc hoail of ihe
How on the 31sr, He described It as
follows: In ihe center of great masses
of rough, black lava was a crater about
125 feet in circumference, around Which
a circle of living lire formed at intervals
of about three hundred vards below fne
crater. Molten lava poured forth in
si reams from Assures in the mountain
side. Numerous small craters also emit
ted smaller streams, At times an entire
group of craters shot forth huge tongues
of tire, simultaneously followed by Im-
mense si reams of lava. These demon-
strations continued at intervals for souk
time.
Kev E, 8. Bishop, well known in the
scientific world, visited the scene Feb-
ruary 1st. nfierthe rush,of fire was over.
He writes as follows: The northwest
ide of the flow presents a straight solid
embankment,forty feci high,and In smne
nieces one and a half mile wide. The
How overreaches tho original coast line
rorn 200 to 500 feet, making
thirty acres of new land. One can per-
haps partially Imagine how that tide of
lire and rocks, near i mile wide, rolled
for a week over the shore Into the deep
and convulsive ocean. I have no powers
of imagination to conceive the awful
plendor of tho downward charge of that
mile broad deluge of tire, nor Ihe horror
of the tornado clash and roar with Which
that vast wall or rolling rock and cinder
pressed forward over the land, piling up
on the plain and crushing into the sea.'

i'ing to thisdlscovery he stales: "We are

able and important fact that at a recent
period, although pre-hist rlo. there was
an explosive eruption of vellow cinder,
which covered at least a hundred square

London. Feb. 21 —Further dispatches
concerning the tarthquakes In southern
Furope state that although tin re had
been no fuither shocks at Nice, the
panic has not yet suhsldtd Fugitives
are fleeing In every direction. People
are afraid to re-enter their houses and
hotels, and last evening the districts
back of the city were crowded with ref
ugees. Two thousand Kngllsh, Ameri-
can and Russian vl-llorswere cauiped
out during ihe night on elevated ground.
Six thousand persons have icft the city
and started for I'arls. A son of Albert
N Hathaway, American consul at N" ce,
Is seriously Injured. There have been
no further disturbances at Motitreale.
The place Is filled with thousands of
refugees from Cannes, Nice. Mcntone
and San liemo. It Is difficult to find
shelter for the great number of people,
and last night many were compelled to
camp out. A more confident feeling
prevails to dav. Gaining has been sus-
pended and hands are playing on the
terrace for the purpose of restoring con
fldence to the frighiencdpeople.
Another shnck was fe t at Mcntone
to-day. It was so severe that all houses
were shaken. No one was Injured. Ad

done by yesterday's shocks show that in
