Washington, -March 2 —Morrill,
of Kansas, Inm tbe committee oo
invalid tensions, reported a bill rx
ter-ding until July lit, 18SS, the tiaio
within which applications tor arrests
d pensions may be filed, extending
the provisions of the arrears act to
tpseial pensioners and providing that
in an aprlioation for pensions the
person on whose act uat the pension
is claimed tba'l be presumed prima
facie to have been Bound and free
from disease at tbeda'eGf entering
service. Referred to committee of
the whole.
Belmont, of New York, from the
committee on foreign sflrirs, report*
ed the consular and dtplc matic ap
proprlations bill aud it was referred
to the committee of the wnole.
The speaker laid btfore li e house
the response of the secretary of the
treasury to the Bland resolution call
ing for intimation concerning the
cltcuUlion of the standard silver
dollar and the policy to t o pursued
as to the payment of silver. Rsftned
to tie committee on coinage,
weights and measures.
The moruiug hour expired with
out action i eing reached upon any
measure. The house then went
into a committee of the whole on the
pension appropriation hill, and a gen
eral debate btgsu.
Wilson, of West Virgin!*, made a
speech in reply to odc made four
days ago by Henderson, of Iowa, In
which he defended the commissioner
of pensions, and retorted upon Hen
dtrson his charge that by their vote
upon the ic crease of widows’ pensions
(he southern members had uufurled
again the bloody shirt. He said that,
this bad been done by Henderson
himself in the inference he drew from
his analysts of that vote, und by
Boutelle recently in criticising thu
southern [ eople for raising a few mod
eat monuments to their Inends who
had died in defense of their opinions.
Matson, of Indiana, also defended
Commissioner Black and the house
pensions committee.
Hammond, of Georgia, said that i-
had been the principle of the demo
cratic party when in power, that
when a man became a public > ffieer
he might think what he pleased, say
what he pleased and do what he
£ leased, hut that bis oerviC:# mu l
a given to the public and not to hie
party. The pneldentof tin United
Hiatts stood to-day inviting
the American people to
oome hack to the old
paths and in them j on ahull find
rest. Reftrrhii> to the Question of
widows’ pensions, he said that ques
tion had been up half a Ui zan times
since the war, hut H hud never been
propoBtd to inert ave iheuo until now.
Tbiu fact answered the argument'.!
the gent from Iowa (Henderson)
when he arraigned eouiuern mem
bers for voting against the increase.
The etufl in hisipetch, t hat I he con
stitution had been invoked to protect
that vote, did Cut need a reply. The
bitter gall of the men whom he took
daily by the band aa his friends did
not need a reply. The npiiit of the
speech, not only in manner but in
oold printed words, carried with it
condemnations of the argument a»d
needed no more reply than when ho
consigned the confederates to hell
and then intensified heil by u prom
ise to go there with them [Laughter
and applause ]
Built rwortn closed tbs debate in a
long speech, full of humor ana sar
casm, ai d generally vary wide of the
question und r ccnsirieratlon. It
u.ok in the whole rings of recent
political events end particular, y
dwell upon tin Ohio eitetiou.
At 5:15 the house udjourued and a
(Itmocrhtic cauiua waa announced
for this evening.
■asm.
Van Wyck, from tbeccmmittce on
pensions, reported with amendment
the house bill to iuorsase iha pen
stone of widows ana dependent rela
tives of deceased soldiers and sellorn.
The amendment provides for an in
crease of the ptnsion of minor chil
dren from (2 a month, the amount
fixed by the house, to $4 a month
Van Wyck said he would ask ihe
early consideration of the bill, and
would auk the senate to iDcrei si the
minor children pension to $5 a month
instead of $4, aa reoommemad by the
committee He would ulso ask that
lneane or helpless children should
receive the pension given to minor
children beyond 18 yeara of age, eo
long as the dlaabiiny or lusanlty
should continue.
Among the petitions presented
was one by Hoar from the working
men employed in the government
work shops since the eight hour law
of 18fi8 was passed, praying eumpan-
•attou for over time, or the referorca
of their claims to some tribunal that
may adjudicate the question whether
they ought to have such compensa
tion,
At 1 o’clock the senate took up the
educational hill and Call addrtHted
the senate in opposition to Alltscn’a
amendment. He characterised ii as
a Hfieclion on the states and an
abandonment of one of the princi
ples of our government.
Call read from educational statistic!!
®* several e.ates and compared the
figures of the school attendance in
each with similar flgurta relating lo
Florida, to show that Florida had
proportionately as large a school at
tendance ns the other states for a cer-
’aiu number of months each year

were cow applied to schools withou'

Baulsbury opprssd the bill,whether
wi'h or without the Allison amend,
merit. There was not onlynooou
siilutional authority t r It, be said,
but uot even the slightest lueessi-y
for it. The southern states were
amply able to iduea e all their illit
erates The south had < x ri ordinary
resources. It i ad a mou< poly of (be
cottou crop, an enormous tobneco
crop, a monopoly of ibi? sugar crop
and the riot orop. Their great min
eral aud manufac ur*t g U’scurcis
were rapidly developing Why, the
d flereuoe in the co«t of labor alone
between the south aud the north was
enough to pay for the’educa'ion of
all the illiterates of the south. The
general welfare clause ot theconsti
tution never contemplated such
schemts as this It was puhllcalms-
giving without any authority what
ever t;
Riddleberger opposed the Allison
amendment. It would give fs to coi-
oied children for every $1 going to
white children. It would destroy the
bill and would destroy ibe public
schools of Virginia He appealed to
the republican party to consider west
harm it was doing to the colored pe> •»
nle win m they were set kit g 'o help
It would absolu ely destroy all chance
01 their education, as the while peo
ple would destroy ihe school system
through which the money was to be
p-ld cut.
Hampton Eaid he was a sincere
Inend of the colored man and would
he very sorry to tee the Allison
amendment adopted,'as It would do
the colored people more harm than
almost anything that could he done.
The white people of South Carolina,
he said, paid 97 per cent of the school
fund of the staie, leaving only 8 per
cent to be paid by Ibeoolored people,
yet the constitution and laws of th-
state provided that the echoed fund
should be distributed according to
the number of children attending
public sohoois,
Ingalls favored Allison’s amend
ment if the bill was to pas9 He
thought the amendment threw a nec
essary safeguard arouod the fund
and said the money was to be di*»
tribated by the secretary of the in’e
rior, and ibe law - ffloer of the inte
rior departmeu , Z ioh Montgomery,
the a-isislant attorney-general, was n
man notoriously opposed to ihe pubs
lie sibcoi system Ingalls read ex
tracts fiom Montgomery's speeches
on the subject. He said Montgomery
bad disputed the correctness of some
f the quotations credited to him, bu'
read one which he said Montgomery
had not disputed. The book waaentl
tied, ‘Dro; s from 'he p itoned folia-
tr-i. * Fees that arc stranger than
fiction, h.-. Zch Montgomery, of the
California bar.” Iligads read from a
speech delivered by Montgomery be
fore the Renan Catholic Sunday
school teachers’ so ociation of Cali
fornia in 1873, f x racte which Monts
g imery hail not included in the ex
tracts which h» hid claimed misrep
resented him. Speaking of the tele
graph, railroads and newspapers, the
pamphlet report says:
“They are means of spreading false
rumors and moral sentiments that
corrupt the mini's of good Catholic-
in this land Instead of reading cor
rupting m wapapera, teach their ( be
child.e.) the truths oftheohurch,
and that will save them from tbs
whirlpool of protestentLm and heresy
In all 1 a forma. The notion that
Protestants entertalD about the great
progress made in the nineteenth
oentury, I wbh to warn you to ab«
stain fri m The Protestant theory
of independence, making up om
minds for ourgelv s on matters of re
ligion, are false as well ns damnable
in the ixmme There is no such
thing as personal freedom in religion
aud morality. The whole power lies
with the iucc ssor of Biint Peter,
the holy Pio Nono and me holy see
of Rome.”
These, Jugftlls said, were extrac #
that hail not been denied, yet the bill
before the senate was to be adminis
tered on a non sectarian basis. Iu-
galls thought we had better put every
safeguard possible in the bill,
Hot r said the Alliaou amendment
would be an Invitation to tha states
themselves (o imkc discrimination in
favor of white ohildien. The truth
might as weil be told, namely: That
senators were unwilling to trust the
authorities of the states with the ad
ministration of the fuod. The Z c«
Montgomery” argument waa the
trouble—an argument taat we oould
not trait the American people.
The debate lnatsd without inter
ruption until 6 o’clock. The re-
mainl'g speaker* were Hale, Hand
sou, Piatt, Blair, Edmunds, Logan,
Dilph and Hoar. Bsveral amend
ments were presented and ordered
printed.
