VOL. XXVIII—NO. 183 COLUMBUS, GEORGIA: SATURDAY MORNING, JULY I SSI I. PRICE FIVE CENTS THE FORTY-NINTI Yesterday’s Proceedings of the House and the Senate. The Morrison Surplus ICesoliiliou AinrnM anil I’assi'il by Hit' Seim tr—The House Conslilerliiif Pension Hills—V Lively Helmte nt the Kvenlmr Session. Washington, July 30.—As soon as the reading of the journal was concluded the senate went into secret session, but the doors were opened in a few minutes and public business proceeded with. On motion of Pugh the senate amend ments to the h ju'ie bill to provide for the appointment and compensation of a dis trict judge for the southern district of Ala bama were reconsidered and the amend ment (section three) fixing salaries of all judges of district courts at $5000 was struck out. Another amendment, that no rela tives of a United States judge (within the degree of first cousin) shall be appointed to any office or duty in the court of which such judge is a member, was also struck out, the reason for action in both cases be ing that the original bill was a local one, while these amendments (offered original ly by Logan) were of a general character. Hoar attempted to get up his resolution of yesterday for the appointment of a com mittee to arrange for a centennial celebra tion of the adoption of the constitution (in 1889) and the 400th anniversary of the dis covery of America in 1492, but he found that under the rule the resolution had gone to the calendar. He, therefoie, offered it again as from himself mot at a report from the library committee), and it went over till to-morrow. T he senate at noon resumed consideration of the surplus resolution. Teller continued his speech, interrupted yesterday by George’s question, to which Jones, of Nevada, replied. He referred to the question asked him yesterday by George, as to whether he knew any method of compelling the owners of money to put it in circulation. He had answered that question in the negative. His answer, however, applied to banks and individuals; it did not apply to the government. The pending resolution looked to compelling the government of the United .States to pay out surplus money which was now locked up in the treasury beyond the reach of the business of enterprises of the. country. Vance spoke in support of the resolution as it came from the house. It was plain and simple, and tile plain people of the country mot learned in the technicalities of finance) so regarded it. The question simply was whether the government should pay its debts from money on hand. That course was the plainest dictation of common sense and old-fashioned honesty. He did not trouble himself to inquire whether the joint resolution would or would not be a vote of want of confidence in the administration. That was .an argu ment unworthy to be addressed to a sena tor of the United States, and it was un worthy of tlie dignity of lbs position for •him to listen to such an argument. To suppose that a senator would abandon his honest conviction or suffer himself to be influenced by any considerations other than those affecting the public good waa insulting. To suppose that the president desired senators to be actuauicf by any other aim in their legislative conduct win not complimentary to him or to the senate. For himself, he had only inquired as to whether the resolution would promote the general welfare of the people, lie was constantly told that this was this adminis tration; that he had helped to put it in power; and that as it was the only demo cratic administration which the country had had for a quarter of a century, it was entitled to and shound receive his cordial support. That waS ail very true. The ad ministration was entitled to and should have his best support in ail things, but npt nt the expense of his honest convictions of duty. - in other words, he desired to be an honest man, as well as a democrat. [Quiet, laughter on the republican side.] He believed that the action or the house in passing the joint resolution '207 to (151 reflected the wishes of the people, and lie proposed to be obe dient to the popular behest. He was, therefore, in favor of the resolution as it came from tlie house, pure and simple, and he was opposed to the amendment because it increased instead of diminishing the treasury reserve, and be cause it left the whole matter to the secre tary of the treasury just as now, and that the secretary had declared again and again that the public debt must be paid in gold. Gorman addressed the senate in favor of the resolution as amended. The debate was interrupted to permit the announcement of Dolph, Teller and Cockrell us conferees on the Northern Pa cific land forfeiture bill. Debate was resumed and continued by McPherson in favor of the amendment proposed by the committee on finance, and by Whitthorne in favor generally of the house resolution, particularly ir^advo cacy of the bill to restore the proceeds of cotton in the treasury, and by Call on the siver question generally, but especially against the resolution Jand amendment hi favor of leaving the whole matter in the hands of theseeretary of the treasury. Edmunds moved to amend the amend ment to the surplus resolution by substi tuting the president for the secretary of the treasury, so that it shall read “wherein in the opinion of the president the public interests shall require it, he may direct the secretary of the treasury to suspend further call,” etc. Edmunds stated as a reason for the amendment that the duty of suspending the execution of a law did not belong to the secretary of the treasury, and should very rarely belong to the president. On many occasions, however, it had been found necessary to vest in the supreme executive the authority and power, in emergencies, of suspending tlie execution of a law or a public policy of congress, but it never had been vested in any subftrdidate officer and never ought to be! The amendment was agreed to. CV ke moved to add tlie following pro vision: “Provided that such suspension and the reasons therefor shall lie reported to congress within ten days after its next meeting, or immediately if congress shall be in session.” Agreed to. The chair laid before the senate a mes sage from the president returning, with his objections, an act to authorize the con struction of a highway bridge across a part of Lake Champlain, tiie objections being that an act for the same purpose was already on the statute book, and that he could not discover any excuse or necessity for new legislation on the subject. The message was laid on the table and ordered printed.

A. conference was asked for, and Cameron, Hale and McPherson were ap pointed conferees. The senate conferees consented to an amendment decreasing the appropriation for the lock at the cascades on Columbia river $37,500 less than tne senate amend ment. All .the items of appropriation which were contained in the bill reported to the senate by the senate committee, and which amounted to not more than $20,000 each, and which by the senate amendment were reduced 25 per cent., the senate con ferees consented to restore to their original amount respectively, thus re storing the reduction of 25 per cent. The gross amount of this increase is in round numbers $158,000. The bill as it passed the senate appropriated $14,013,935. The amount of tlie amendments agreed upon by the conference increases the above amount about $07,810, making the total amount appropriated about $14,301,500. A section is added la the bill making it un lawful to throw ballast, stone, slate, gravel, earth, slack, rubbish, wreck, tilth, sk.bs, edgings, sawdust, slop, cinder or other re fuse, or with waste of any kind in New York harbor. Adjourned. _ House. Washington, July 30.—Smalls, of South Carolina, offered a resolution appropriating $10,000 for the relief of persons rendered destitute by the overflow of the Santee, Pcdee and Waceamow rivers in South Carolina. Referred to the committee on appropriations. In compliance with the arrangement made yesterday the house resumed consid eration of the vetoed pension bills, the first being that granting $50 a month to the widow of General David R. Hunter. The house refused to pass the bill over tlie \eto—yeas 111, nays 108—not a constitu tional two-thirds in the affirmative. The consideration of vetoed bills grant ing pensions to Mary Norman, John W. Farris and David T. Elderkin was post poned until the next session. The house refused to pass over the president’s veto—yeas 119, nays 96 (not a constitutional two-thirds in the affirma tive), the bill granting a pension to Mary Anderson. This disposed of the vetoed pension bills upon the calendar, and in ac cordance with the agreement the house resumed consideration of the interstate commerce bill. The previous question was ordered, and the question recurred on the substitute (the Reagan bill) to the senate hill (the Cullom bill). The substitute was agreed to—yeas 133, hays 10-1. Baker, of New York, moved to recom mit the bill with instructions to the com mittee on commerce to report it back amended by the substitution of the senate bill. Lost—yeas 70, nays 158. The senate bill as amended by the adop tion of the Reagan substitute was then passed—yeas 180, nays 41—and a conference was requested. Blanchard submitted the conference re port on the river and harbor appropria tion bill. The reading of the report con sumed nearly two hours and no time was left for the reading of the descriptive statement accompanying the report which is signed by only two of the house con ferees. • Hatch raised the question of considera tion, pending which the house, at 5 o’clock, took a recess until 8 o’clock, the evening session to be for the consideration of pension bills. Of late the Friday night sessions of the house have been characterized by much confusion and noise and some had blood. The session of to-night, however, out heroded Herod and the large audience in the galleries were moved to applause by the eloquent speeches and alternately thrown into laughter or worked into a state of excitement by the warm passages on the floor. Nothing that in a congressional phraze could be termed unparliamentary was said, but the discussion verged very closely upon dangerous ground. The trouble arose when, after the house had considered two pension bills, the point of “no quorum” was raised by Wallace, of Louisiana, when a bill which, in his judgment, was without merit, was called up for action and for his policy in regard to pension eases, j he was roundly assailed by Cannon-of Illi nois, and Price, of Wisconsin, who charged I him with inconsistency and with a dispo- j sition to prevent the pensioning of soldiers who had lost their health in endeavoring : to save his state to the union. Wallace indignantly denied the charges j and made a counter charge oi inconsLsten- j cv, but finally good temper was re-estab lished and the bill which caused tne trou ble wftB postponed until the next session.

Every act of tlie mills is looked upon with interest by those who are not on the inside and the Chronicle always endeavors to obtain facts to givo them to the public. The Chronicle several weeks ago announc ed that Mr. Cogin had tendered his resig nation as superintendent, and on Sunday published a petition from the mill officer's asking the directors to request Mr. Cogin to withdraw his resignation. The breach between Mr. Cogin and the directory seems to have been so great, that he deem ed it, best to sever his connection with the Augusta factory, which ho has been superintendent of for over a score of years. It was not thought that Mr. Cogin’s resignation would take effect before the 1st of Septem ber, but it wns rumored on tlie street yes terday afternoon that Mr. Cogin liad stepped down and out, nnd thnt Mr. A. F. Crombe, for a long time an overseer, was in chnrge and would be made superin tendent. Mr. Cogin has differed materially with tiie management of the mill. He has been with the Augusta factory through ups and downs, and is highly respected and loved by the operatives. Mr. Cogin and President Pbinzy were neither seen last evening. It is deemed by some un fortunate that, Mr. Cogin should have left the mill at this lime, lie is considered one of the best organizers of labor in this sec tion, and is a line business man ill every particular. Mr. Cogin will lie succeeded by a gentle man who tins for quite a number of years been under him as an overseer in the mill, who lias tin respectland esteem of the op eratives and the confidence of the direc tors of the mill. The situation outside of the above change remains tlie same. at the king. The withdrawal of Mr. Cogin from the factory superintendency was being freely discussed on the streets last evening. There is n feeling of uneasiness at the King mill ns to wnat will be done in re gard to tbe conditional advance made for two pay rolls by the directors of that insti tution, ns on Saturday, the time for which the advance was made will expire, and the directors, if the business has justified the advance, will, of course, continue it. Augusta Chronicle, 30th. The news of n strike at tlie Sibley mill was received without nn,y great surprise by the mill officers. Mill affairs are in sucli an uncertain state that nothing causes any great astonishment, and u strike at the Sibley mill has been threatened for some time. THE DEMAND.

Last week 1 Jepiity Sheriff 1 )iaz arrested Rusures, and took him before the county judge,- who signed extradition papers without giving the accused a hearing, and the deputy sheriff delivered him to the Mexi can authorities. Rusures is a naturalized citizen, and he lias appealed to United States Consul Lynn for protection. Consul Lynn lias demanded the release of the prisoner and his return to Eagle Pass for trial for tho offense alleged. Mo.idragon replies that the ease has been transferred to the higher court, and that lie could do nothing in the matter. This is a clear casq of kidnapping, and the fact* have been re ported to the state department at Wash ington and to Gov. Ireland, of Texas. News inis been received here to-night t liut Rivmros was taken two miles below Piedras Negros to-day and shot, by order of the Mexican authorities. Many prominent Mexicans are moving to tliis side of the llio Grande, in antici pation of a disruption.

Large quantities of cartridges and ammunition are stored here, consigned to a prominent Ann in Piedras Negras for supplying revolutionists.
