Murphy, of Iowa, and Riwell, of Illinois, cor sumed the morning hour, advooating the pss cage of tbe bill The house then again resolved it self into a committee of the whole on the pension appropriation bill. Towi.sV.end, of Illinois, who had charge of the bill, explained its pro visions. It appropriated, he Baid, $75,764,200, or shout fifteen million more than was carried by the law for tbe ourreui year. This increase was iccasioned by the accelerated work mat wag being done in tbe pension tffije, and for this work tire commis sioner of pensions and nis employes deseived commendation, and by -be larger number of cases that were now being disposed of. He then passed on to the discussion of the proposition to repeal the limitation of the arrears of pension act, and advocated it as a meueuie demanded by good faith and patriotism. Tbe quas i,>u should not be bow much me measure wou.d coat, but whether it was just. Henderson, of Iowa, while con ourring with Townsheud in his gen- eral remarks upon pension matters, differed from him when he attributed the increased appropriation to UK- accelerated work o( the pension c ffioe. Hs said tbe amount of the pending bill was $1 691 800 below the average lor the last six years. Passing on .o a discussion of the general eut jiot ol pensions, he said that there appeared to be a well considered effort on the part of some gentlemen in the house io frighten The country with the idea that the appropriations for pen sions were now so tremendous that a halt should instantly be eulled. He attacked Randall for having ask ed the commissioner of pensions for an estimate f tbe probable cost to lire country of the repta). of the limita tion of arrears of pensions. He said Commission-r Bl-ok's estimates had been excessive and misleading, and be accused Randall of i fficiousness in attempting to lurestali a oitl uoi yet posseo, and orea e alarm in ihe pub lie rntna against it. Hs described Commissioner Biuck’s letter as un true-worthy, and es having u lie in its stomach The commissioner when cailec 1 to account by ihe pension committee bad raised bis estimates, hut the mischief had beeu done because his first letter had been spread abroad tu the public prints In reply to a question by Randall, Henderson said he did not believe the repeal of the limitation of arrears would cost the country one hundred and fitly millions, but what ever it costs lie advocated it Hen derson then went into an analysis of the negative vote on the bill to in crease the pensions of sol diers’ widows. The total vote in the ■ negative, he *»ld, was 66, of whlob 64 were cast by southern democrats and two by northern democrats, Hewitt, of New * uk, and Brugg, ol Wisconsin. N >t one republican had voted eg-unst tho bill. This, ho said, wan a significant vote, and a great lesson was to bc- leerned from it. In the late cam paign in the north the republican party had lioeu charged wi.b being n party of aeeilo.ialirm, a parly that Vfhivtcl the ensanguine garment Tbe man that wouideveraguin m.ae the charge after ihal. eiutple vote biust close his eyej to ihe .ru .h. .

W:-re they slaves and not permitted to use their discretion 7 Henderson— 1 “No; not slaves. I want ail members on tbe fl.or to stand as iquals. I concede their con stitutional light to voteas they please, but there is more than one way of observing tbe constitution and trampling it under foot. To-d&y tbe constitution is thrown in our face as a shield to cover an almost solid vote sgaiLBt the increase cf the pensions bill, and yet there is haidly a consti tution of the Uuiied States to be found in this section. I a'ate here aud now as my convicti. n that if these gentlemeu respected the consliiuiioD as they say, they would not have control of this chamber. If they represented tbe constitution instead of the ballot-box s uffii g and shotguns, they wouio not have control of the executive of i,he nation. [Applause on tbe repub lican side sod groans on tbe demo cratio side ] You may groan, gentle men, but you yourselves do know, and you boast of it, too, that you will control ibis government in spite of ibe constitution, aud I tell you here and now in this chamber, that tbere are as grave crime- committed under the form of tbe law and tbe constitution, as there were when Sumter was fired upon, and for one I protest agaii st stctioral control or ibis c untry with the c institution absolutely defeated These ara my samiments, and I say tbe gauntlet was thrown down in that vote. Inclosing, I desire to say that I sincerely trust that no gentle man, especially those who were in tbe ranks against me, mistnterpretB me, for I would rather spend au eter nity in hell with a confederate than au eternity in heaven with a northern copperhead." [Laughter aud ap plause.] Warner, of Ouio, dcf.ni.ted the commissioner of pensions from Hen derson’s attacks, and in the course of his remarks said be wauled the pen sion bureau made non-partisan by turning out ihe men who were pm iu theio purely because they were partisans Herat Cur'in, of Pennsylvania, ejaculated—“If you do not turn the partisans out and put. other partisans io, what is the use of having elec tion.?" [Apobuie and laughter.] Randall, of Pennsylvania, desired to leave the arena of politics fora moment to assume the ground cf his-, tory and truth. He was uuwilliiig tbut the sun should go down without his expressing a recollec'ion on this question. He bad much experience uu the appropriations commiitee and tbis was the first time he had ever seon partisan politics aud sectional ism thrusi. into debate on a pension appropration bill. He should peruaps have remained silent notwithstanding, except, whether in tended or not, there might go abroad through the country the statement that the democratic party, and more particularly tLe sou hern element of that parly, h&d in a way shown any hostility whatever to the payment of pensions O l the contrary, his ex perience had shown that the sou.hern element had developed a wonderful disposition to do a full part toward pensioning union soldiers or the widows o( union soldiers. He placid ms experience nguiuat the impression carried by ’lie speech of Ihe genlle- man f:ouu lows, time there was on the democratic side scy hostility to the payment of what was justly due to those who were disabled iu th- wur for tho union- Morrison, of Illinois, said for all the years of the war aud for teD years thereafter the republicans had bad oontrol of the government en all its branches. Skilled alike in slates- manahipanda disply of patriotism, the republican party had made am ple provision for the payment of pen sions to soldiers. Since his expe rience here he did not recollect the name of a souihern man who had ever failed to vote to tbe last dollar what that party had provided by law should be paid to tbe soldiers. The discussion was continued by Reid, of Maine, Hacock, of New Yolk,and others and drifted in theold groove as to whether the democratic party was sincere in its professions of eoonomy, or whether it had uot made inudequato appropriations for the purpose of being able to go before the country with a favorable showing of expenditure, Pending action thecommiffee rose. The debate throughout ti e day was marked by much interest aud some ex< iteiqeut, though good nature pre vailed at ad ’imt-s. The chairman Urd much difli uj'.y iu keeping the oommittte in order, but sueosedod well in hie hard task, though at limes ihe confusioD was so great tint -ho voice of tho speaker was drowned i.i apolau.ie and laughter.

Tbe people of Mississippi, be said, had so u ueb in terest in the bill that he felt con- s'ralned to present some further views in advocacy of Ihe measure. He callid Morgan’s attention to tbe resolnijon Introduced by him (Mor gan) at a former te-sion ol the sen ate giving a month’s *xlra pay to cngresBioual clerks. He found no warrant In tbe constitution for such f a.yment if Morgan’s theory of ibe cunstiiu Tonality of tbeeducation bill was a true one Morgan irquired what iiad become of i he resolution. George replied that be did not know, and he then went on to criti cise Morgan’s record in tbe mat er of appropriations for other purposes. Morgan said he would not follow the retail iffbrt of George to lay be fore the world his (Morgan’s) record, but tbe senator from Musisslppi was welcome to any iustanoe of that sort that be could find iu his (Mor- gan’f) record. The senator from Mississippi was the first senator who had the capacity to si e any uncon- sti utlonailty in the act which he had criticised. Geoige was much obliged for the complimentary manner in which Morgan had referred to him. It also happened, he said, that when % sena tor followed the course of the senator from Alabama be was compelled by the necessity of the ocoasion to deal with “trash," for ihere was very lit- lie else in ihe record of tbe senator except what could bo denominated by 'he w <rd “trash." Tho debale took a collcquail form between George Boiler, M xey, Cro- gau and others, aud that between Morgan and Gaorgo was very per sonal. M irgao denisd some of the Infer ences drawn by George from hit (Mor gan’.- ) speeches on former measures before congress, and said Grorge’s reading misrepresented him. George—“I shall read the senator’s own language, and then I shall not misrepresent ’’ Morgan— “It doeB misrepresent me ” G urge—“If I read your own lan guage it will not misrepresent you ” Morgan—“It does misrepresent me ami the senator knows it."

Allison thought the bill snould be an e ided ss io be precisely what it was intended to be aud tbere should be no room left for doubt to arise when the provisions of ihe bill come to be appled in practice as to the proportions of the money to be applied to white and colored schools respec’ively. The debate here closed for tbe day and ihe senate at 4 o’clock adjourned. Ob ’CbEugv, New York, February 25. The stock market is growing extremely dull.
