ports, and there being a rutnor that
Bioknell, of Indiana, intended to call
up h s joint rule for counting tbe elec
toral vote, the republicans demanded
the reading of each bill and report
in full in order to cousume the
morning hour.
Money, of Mississippi, reported from
the committee on postotiieea and roads
a resolution directing that a oommiti.ee
to inquire into the expediency of es
tablishing a telf graphic postnl system
under the government of the United
States; also, into the cost of reproduc
ing the facilities for transmitting tele
graphic messages equal to those cow
possessed by the existing corporations,
and granting It the power to send foi
persons and papers. There being no
report accompanying the resolution it
was not received.
The morning hour having expire*
on motion of Upson, of Texas, the bill
was passed changing the time for hold
ing terms of the United States circuit
and district court for the westoin dis
trict of Texas.
Cox, ef New York, chairman of the
committee on the census, reported
back tbe bill for the apportionment of
representatives in congress among the
several states.
Sherwin, of Illinois, presented a ml
nority report. Both reports were or
dered printed and recommitted.
Cox s'ated that the majority bill pro
vided for 311 membors, while the mi
nority amendment provided for 319
members. He would offer his bill pro
viding for 311 members as a subsltute
and wouid call up the bill for consider
ation to-morrow morning.
The house then at 2 o’clock went into
a committee of the whole—Carlisle,
Kentucky, in the chair on the post
office appropriation bill.
Blackburn, of Kentucky, briefly ex
plained the provisions of the bill. The
total amount recommended was 540,
762,432 or $1,716,500 less than the esti
mates. The estimated postal revenue
for 1882 was $38,845,164, and he congrat
ulated the country that, the time h..d
arrived when the appropriation for the
support of tbe postal service was less
than $2,000,000 in exoess of the revenue
received from this service. The bill
was then read by sections for amend
ments. Two amendments were offered
and rejected.
Cannon m©ved to increase the appro
priation for compensation to postmas
ters by $50,000. Adopted.
Before passing ou the paragraph mak
ing tbe appropriations for iuland mail
transportation the committee ro*e.
Wellborn, of Texas, introduced a bill
defining the boundary line between
th* Indian territory and Texas. Re
ferred.
The house then, at 4:40, adjourned,
•fQNATB.
Wallace and Pendleton presented
memorials, the former from the man
ufaoturers of textile fabrics in Phila
delphia, and the latter from the Cin
eiunati board of trade and transporta
tion in favor of the Reagan inter-state
commerce bill.
Garland, from the judiciary commit
tee, reported the Geneva award bill of
Mr. Edmunds adversely, and substi
tuted therefor a bill en the subject
wbioh is substantially similar to the
one reported by tbe committee at the
last session. He remarked that the re
port was not an unanimous one, as two
of the members of the committee favor
ed Edmunds’ bill. The substitute was
placed on tbe calendar.
On modoo of Call, a resolution was
adopted instructing the committee on
foreign relations to Inquire into the ex
pediency of modifying the treaty with
(Spain, so that cattle from the United
State* may be exported to the island of
Cuba on equal and fair rates of duties.
The calendar of general business
being the regular order, Logan asked
unanimous consent to take up the bill
to retire Gen. Grant.
Vest objected.
Logan then moved to lay aside all
prior orders to take up the bill.
Bayard sugge-ted the propriety
deferriugtbe consideration of tbe prop
osition In view of the probability ol
early action on a general measure to
supply what he regarded as the defi
oieucy by providing a pension for ou
ox-prosiuents. He thonght that the
provision for a single individual named
could be amply covered iu a general
Logan said it was true the proposi
tion was an exceptional one and pro
ceeded to show why the bill should be
passed.
Hill, of Georgia, said he was not pre
pared to vote on the proposition to-day
and would therefore veto against Lo
gan's motion, but his inclination was
to vote for the bill if he could do so
consistent with his seuse of duty to the
publio. He would not do so, however,
for the reason given by Logan in its
favor. After stating what he charac
terized as the three great epochs in the
American history—namely, the settle
ment of colonies, establishment of the
constitutional government and the
revolution, beginning in 1861, of which
the latter had accomplished great re
sults, Hill said he regarded General
Graut as a moat remarkable man,which
the events of that revolution had de
veloped, and, in his judgment,on© man
without whom the revolution would not
have been a success. This, he said, was
as a great representative man of the
revolution of 1861, simply because from
the peculiar circumstance* that sur
rounded him. He would be regarded
as one man ou either side of the lino
without whom that revolution would
not have been a success. Whether
this reason would prompt him (Hill) to
support Logan’s bill or not, he was not
now prepared to say. In speaking as
ho did, ho did not desire to cater to the
opposite side of the chamber, nor did
his remarks measure in the slighcst
degree any opinion he might entertain
ol Gen. Grunt personally.
Vest said ho had objeoted to the con
sideration of the bill on principle, and
he was equally opposed to any legisla
tion on a subject of the kind suggested
by Bayard. Ho did not propose t > be
dragged to-day iuto any partisau dis
cussion in regard to the late war if bo
could avoid it. Ueneial Grant would,
boyoud question, pass into history as
the greut general of that struggle He
(Vest) entertained the greatest admira
tion for that general’s military skill
and disoialmed any intention to utt r a
woid against him peisoual y. The
southern people had in every way
evidenced their atruir.tion of Grant
as a soldier aud of the couy e
pursued by him at tne close of the war,
wuen upon the field of Appomattox lie
handed back to Robert E. Lee his
sword, and when, afterward-', he went
as an agent to tbe southei n states and
roported to the preside..t the undoubted
loyalty and patriotism of the Southern
people, every sou*hern heart beat with
gratitude to him Who i the sp-cial
otfice was created for him with the runk
of g-meral, no southern man interposed
a single objeotiou, and when at Cairo
and other points, alter visiting every
southern state, Gen. Grant attested
that the people of the south were as
loyal to the constitution and the fl »g us
the people of the north, the sou. In ru
people agaiu evinced by their loud ac
claim, their gratitude lor that testimo
ny, but when General Graut deliber
ately left tbe place provided for him by
the lepresontatives of the people, when
ho entered the arena of partisan poli
tics, when he touk the chances of a po
litical life, he (Ve-»t) huld that lie
should sUud the hazard of the die.
This, therefore, w is no democratic fu
neral; it belonged to tbe republic n
side ol the house to provide lor their
wounded and their dea l in the la e po
litical conflicts. Wh <n the corpse of
Gen. Grant was dragged from that
bloody arena in tbe city of Chicago,the
funeral and obsequies be'onged not to
the democratic side of the chamber.
We have funerals enough of our own,
[laughter] and we have our
own wounded that we are
pposed to lake care of. Vest added,
he was aware that for what tie said to
day he would be followed, as he had
been on a recent ocoa ion, by the parti
san press of the cou -t y with the cry
of “rebel,” “uureconstructed demo
crat,” and that worst of ail stigmas,
“bourbon.” Be it so. Some time ago
be had said in regard to that distin
guished personage, John Brown, that
lie thought he had been properly
outed at Harper’s Ferry, and imme
diately tnauy oi the paru.-an pi
the country undertook to defend
act of John Brown’s, and to stigi
him (Vest) as dldojai to the g*
tnent, though he had only repeuied the
declaration of tno republican paity
ma le in open comeution in 1800, when
they stigmatized the same mai
criminal. No apprehension of such
abuse would deter him from discharg
ing his duty on this occasion. He had
hostility towards Gen. Giant, but
s opposed to the bill because he
thought there was something else for
the representatives of the people to do
than to provide planes tor geutlomen,
no matter how distinguished, who had
taken the chauces of political life,
Logan expressed his regret that any
senator should attribute partisan mo
tives to the resolution, and he said this
with greater emphasis because it was
one which he himself had based simp
ly upon General Grant’s distinguished
military record. Ho far as the killed
and wounded were concerned the re
publican side had tried to do well by
their own.
The remarks of Logan were cut short
by the expiration oi tho morning hour,
and the ch-dr (Edmunds) announced
as the regular order the Indian laud in
severalty bill.
Logan then moved to postpone pend
_.ig and prior orders in order to pro
need with the Gram retirement bill.
Tho yeas and nays were demanded
on motion of Bdtier, who, before tho
vote was taken, remarked that he did
not desire to be understood by his vote
as expressing any opinion upon the
bill either favorable nr antagonistic.
He objected to being placed by Logan
in a category of those who were in
fluenced by prejudice because they
did not at once consent to
consider the matter; that lie did not in
tend to be dragged into voting for or
against the bill by insinuations from
any quarter; o‘her matters equally im
portant were pending and their prece
dence would not prejudice the bill. No
man on the floor would go farther than
himself to do to justice Gen. Grant, if
injustice was being done hitn, but the
only reason given for the bill was that
gentleman's eminent services to the
government, which might or might be
a sufficient reason.
Logan’s motion was then defeated

a^NHolt and imprisonment, in Januai y,
1876, Ktlbouru, plaintiff in error, was

statement of the OHse has already be u
telegraphed. In a long and oaiefully
written opinion, Justice Field, afier
reviewing the his,ory of tho debt of
Virgiuia aud tho legislation of the
state with reference thereto, expressed
the opiuiou of lilts court in subuauce
as follows :
The power of a state

obligations is a subject upon wnicb
there has been a difi'eronce of opinion
among the jurists and statesmen, but
whatever may he the wisest rule as to
the taxation of the public securities,
it ia settled that any tax levied up tu
them cannot be withheld from interest
payable thereon. This was tho judg
ment iu the case of Murray vs Charles
ton—90 U. S. 445—whore the court held
that by the legislation of tho city its
obligation to iu creditors was impaired,
and however great Us power ot taxa
tion, it must be exercised, being a pol
itical agency of the state, in subordina
tion to inhioitiou of the federal consti

the oblifcat-ou of a contract. This
decision wouid be decisive in
the present case, but the

creditor. The funding act made the
bonds issued under it payable lo order
or bearer, and made the coupons paya
ble to bearer. The bonds and coupons
wore, therefore, i-o far distinct and in
dependent o >ntiacls that they could be
separated from each other and trans
ferred to different hands. This court
has repeatedly h* ld that such coupons
have all tho essential attribute* of a
commercial paper, that they are wepa-
raio Ciaims against the state, and may
bu used to support separate and iu
dependent actions. The coupons held
by Hartman, the practitioner, were
distinct contracts, impo-dug their sepa
rate obligations upon tho state. Hart
man was no' the owner of the bonds to
which they had been regularly attach
ed. In his hands they were as free and
discharged from ail liability on those
bonds as though they had never beeu
connected With, and argument is
hardly nocessary to prove that an act
which requires the holder ol one con
tract to pay the taxes levied upon an
other contract held by a stran
ger, cannot be sustained. Such
Such an act is not a legitimate exorcise
of the taxing power. It undertakes to
impose upon oue, the burdens which
should lal , if at all, upon another. Tiie
funding act Biipulat.es that the coupons
should be receivable for all
taxes aud dues to the state for tboir
fu 11 amount, and upon this p'edge the
holders of the bonds of the state sur
rendered them, and took now bonus
for two-thirds of their amount. The
act of 1870 declares that their coupons
shall not he Gins received for taxes for
their full amount, but omy for such
portion as may remain after th‘- tax
subsequently levied upon tiie bonds to
which ihey were originally attached is
deducted. If this act does uot impair
tbe coutraot with the bondholder, who
was authorized to transfer o others
tho coupons with the quality of
receivability for taxes annexed,
it is difficult to see iu what way it
would be impaired, even though the
lax ou the b mds should equal the
whole face ol the coupon. If against
tiie expressed terms of its coutraot the
state can take a p >rtion of tho interest
in tbe shapo ot a tax on the bond, it
may, at its pleasure, take the wnole.
This ourt is clear, therefore, that the
act of the legislature of the state of
Virginia of 1876 requiring a tax on her
bonds issued under the funding act of
March 31st, 1871, to be deducted from
tho coupons originally attached to them
when tendered in payment of tuxes or
other does to the state
the face of the previous contract
with such bondholders contained in the
funding act. A law impairing the ob
ligation of a contract and that it iH
therefore void. It foil >ws that the pe
titioner waa entitled to his mandamus
to compel tiie treasurer of lira city of
Richmond to receive tiie coupons ten
dered to him in payment of taxes for
their full ainouut. The Judgment of
thesupromo court e' appeals ot Virgin
ia, denying the trust is therefore re
vised and of course remanded for fur
ther proceedings, in accordance with
this opinion.
Justice Miller expressed his dissent
from the opinion of the court and gave
