After a brief debate It was adopted. Among the bills and resolutions Introduced under the cal! of stales were the follow’nt: By Fit? dlny, of Maryland, a pro emble and joint resolution reciting ibs! the tax on tctacco is a heavy bu.'den on ihe agricultural interest, that the system devised for Us col lection operates a disadvantage only on 'he manufacturers wi'h u limited capital and thus ti tendency to con centrate in a few hands the monop oly of making cigerH, eh; that the nec'sdty for a change in the tariff is Dot apparent or urgent by reason ol tbe fact sli articles have been bo cheapened in the lasr four years that there is little or no margin for a fur ther decrease; t.ba* if a diminution of revenue be tbe object of the pro poRed change of the tariff it is by no means clear that ‘•ueh a production wili follow ae a cone;-queues of iovrer rates of duty, but on tbe contrary it may be reasonably expected that to lower the duties will result in increased revenue; that wba'ever msy have be.rn the policy of tbe country under more favorable circumstances with referer.ee to a tariff reduction, such poi oy would be both impolitic and Impracticable in view of tbe agitation now going on tor diminished hours of labor at the same or increased vages as under the ten hour rnlOj re daring protec tion over home labor against foreign competition more necessary than evir, and abolishing all tuxes of every description upon tobuoco and upon the: manufacture andEaie there of.

Paso. Texas, at a m x Incur cost oi $150,000, but at the sec ending the motion, nc quorum volet) and the house at 6:15 adjourned. SKMATK. Hoar, from the committee on Judi ciary, reported favorably the Joint resolution providing for a constitu tional amendment, extending tbe present presidential terni till On 30,b of April, instead of the 4ih of March, 1689, and providing that the term of the fiftieth oongre-8 be also < xiended to that date. Placed on the calendar. Dolph reported from the committee on public kudo an original bill to re peal alt Jaws providii g for the pre emption of public lauds, and laws al lowing entries for tiinnet culture aid for other purposes. Be s:iid it was O' signst. to be i fferett *b a substitute lor me bill ou the s .me eu'jict al ready reported from the committee, and he gave notice turn ho would a 1 an early day ask '.lie senate to take up and consider the measure. Riddieberger rose to a persona! ex piaij&tlou. He read a paragraph from a Washington newapapt r slat ing that tterator Ingalls hud request eti me tenaior in m Virginia to k>< preet.nl at a meeting of the committee on the District of Columbia in order to make a quorum for the considera tion of Matthews' case; that Mr Rid- dieberger emphatically declined to attend, saying he would never help to put a colored man into efflye. Riddiebeiger said he cared for no part of this staument except the use of the term ‘'colored man.” He assert ed that he had never heard in the committee or elsewhere any refer ence to race or color as a reason for or agaiDRt the confirmation of Mr Matthews, nor had he himself made such a reference. The term “colored man” was used for some other purpose than to state tbe position of any senator upon the Matthews' oase. The ruiee of the senate forbade the statement of the reason of the delay, Ingalls said no’such conversation as that described in the paragraph read by the senator from Virginia had ever taken place. He hud never had any conversation with any gen tleman upon the subj-.ot, and so far as he was concerned the statement wbb an emanation oi the imagination. Dolph c fibred an amendment to the fortifications appropriations bill, ap propriating $10,000,000 for the con struction of fortifications and other works on the ooast defense In accord ance with the recommendations cf the board of fortifications, or other defense, to be expended under the direction of the secretary of war. Dolph said it would be seen that thts was an important amendment, In tended to commit congress to the rtcotmnendatlous of the hot-rd of fortifications and other defenses and to make au appropriation for tbe commencement of other fortifies- tior s' The poBt'fllce appropriation bill wa- taken up, and Vest proceeded tr speak on the amendment appropri ating $800 000 for the transportation of foie ju mails. He maintained that tbe provision would prove dis astrous to the American merchant rnprino. Alluding to the recent naval dipp'ay st Pensacola by “five old wooden hulks at;d a few torpedo boats,” he said one of tht vessels, the Brooklyn, took fire, and it took ali the oak' ce of them to put it out. When the torpedo beak advanced to attack the frigate, the latter was found to t-e without electric lights und wus compelled to send up bombs tr e .able ber < fii r to see the attacking parlies. This amendment was simply an assertion of :be old spirit of the old navigation laws which ix ludtd on American ci z.n from the right to purchase a chip where be could purchase it cheapest, He did not propose to dis cuss tbe tariff and would dismiss it with one eingle remark. The wb, le princ'ple of levying money upnD any American citizen over and above the necessities of * Lit government for rev enue was robbery under the forms of law. The principle of ibis amendment wee the same as the high protective principle urged by lite reiublican party and by some democrats, he was eory to say, upon the people of the United States Hale reminded V.st tnat the as cendency of the English merchant marine followed from a policy of sub- sidii e. Vist denied this Subsidies, he said, made no diflerence. It was in the construction of iron ships that E n glnnd had found ber advatuage. Mi'Pners >n said the English to-day subsidized the mall line to South America to the extent of $450,000 He asked Vet how be would get the trade of S- utb America agaiDBt such odds. Vest said he would repeal our Infa mous naval laws. No other civilized nation had euoh laws. He would also reform the taiifl and place it on r revenue basis so as not to handicap one man for the ad vantage of another. He believed in an honest mail service, but this amendment violated a sound princi ple. So wedded were the republican? to a protective tariff, that they were unwilliDg to break even one link in the chain of protection, hut they were compelled to acknowl edge that after a lerg seaton of proa teotion a change was irdkpensible. Eustis reviewed the bi3'ory of sub sidies In this oount»y and continued that there va 1 a decided feeling in tide country in favor of spudi 'g our mails in American ships, It was not a question in this case of whether there had been corruption in funner payments from the treasury, He (Eusth) did not suppose Bock or Vest would say there would be necessarily any corruption in connec tion with moneys which congress might otd r the present postmaster general to pay out. Eustis strongly advocated the pro posed amendment. Ingalls saw no reason why men of Maine or of Massachusetts could not to-day build ships and sail them if they wanted to do so, The reason they did not do so was became they could make more prefil in their money in other directions. Neither wt s our carry trig trade d> pendent on matters asset forib by sens ors. We had not lost the carrying trace of the world; we had relinqu shed it. Great Britain, carrying trade etatis'ioiaDs said, d'd cot realize ore per oem on the capital Invested. One reason not yet mentioned forour small trade with C< ntrsl ard South .America was 'hat we did not attempt to sell them what they wanted to buy. O tier countries offered better articles at Lbs price, ard what we tried to s !1 menu by sample goods bed not proved equal to the sample. We had also refused to g.v> Central and South American merchants credits ..ht-s needed. Ingalls rer.d from the re- por of the commissioners appointed oy President Arthur extract* g"ing to stiow that, our merchantsdfd not accommodate the people of Central and 8 u'h America with either credits or the okas of goods (hey wanted He resd iho'-e extracts, he suid, for the purpose of showing ;be meuchants and manufacturers of itie U nited Slates that primarily the difficulty was with them. European merchants gave s'X and nine months oredit to the people of the countries named; American merchants de clined to give them credits at all. The trouble wes not, he thought, with congress or want of sfeamehip communication. He had not read the extracts with a view of making aDy opposition to the proposed amendment, but to show the reason why we were not doing South American trade He commended to persons interested a careful reading of the commission ers’ report. C .egress should not be continually castigated for the failure of our merchants and manufacturers to secure the trade referred to. It was not the fault of congress. Mr Miller said ihe administra'ion had lust year deliberately refused to execute tbe law. We had been told that the law was not clear, 1 u‘ tbe leaders of the democratic party in tbe senate had admitted that the plan was against the policy ot the administration. Miller believed we could soon double or even quadruple our commerce with Central and South America it we had the proper steamship facili ties. Colquitt opposed the amendment Subsidies, be sab', wer- obnox ious to the people. They weregetier ally sough’, not by lndividua's, but by grasping corporations. T 'divid ual? find such rcrp iratlons av had s me tnode-iy, had to get along on their own merits Favoritism wan in sympathy with mouopiy. Proposi tions of Ihe charade! of thin amend ment, it once established, would ooulinueand grow worse. Instead of Hacking b"s'ness ventures to rly on tbelr Intrinsic strength v e were reaching them to rely on the government., Trade rela tions veie not establish! d by uv : mail facilities. The natural order was trade first and r v mi!s afterward*. Our prefect system of high tariff and our navigation b ws were woefully defective. Methods of securing for eign ‘(adeem au average rate of duty of 46 per cent against imports W'.s bard h r commerce to overcome. W were told this was for the benefit of tbe dear working man. Oxi-time c'liiialiiv between the working man and liis employer did so 1 seem to be restored by thk eloquence Al 1 eloquence devoted to the sub ject of nome uiarnifac’ureis, endless disaertafions on that suiject iu con- grei-s and tbe ptess, was .o ,hc fleet that the proleoiive of r ho tar ff was for the (merest of working men and to enhance their wages. Assiduoi s efforts of mauufaoturets in tbe inter est of working men did not, however, protect working men tynm a rival in this country of Enrop-au workmen with their arms and legs to reduce the Wfcges of working men of the United Stales. W. iiud not been eaved by our manufacturers, for whose benefit the tariff really was. From scenes o' tumult, demonstrations of rage ou the part of 'adoring men—demon" strations now blanching the cheeks and moving the hearts of our people. Manufacturers s emed to he doing little to the re-estalTshment of good relations with their workingmeu. They retired to their f aloes ann chal lenged grateful f.oknowTsdgmente of their working people for what they had done in behalf of American in dustry Colquitt regarded labor troubles as more than an efferves cent. They betokened, he thought, coming strife and convulsion. Cols quitl believed the protective larifl was partly responsible ior ihe laoor trouble*, since they restricted rs to our home markets for our manufac tures.

THE BALTIMORE PROCESSION, Baltimore, May 3 —The parade of the workingmeu to day was the largeat of lu kiud ever witnessed here. It was under the direction of the can makers’ protective union, but many others Joined, until the line, w‘ en lully formed, consisted of about 6000. One of the leatu;ea was the predenee of nearly 2000 colored brick makers and helpers iu br'ok- yard*, and these were about the centre of the line. The’© were Included a’sc house carper.teis who struck to-d»y because their employ- era W' uld not allow eight hr uis for a day’s work, iron moulders, vernisha ers, box makers, ftirnl u e workers, bakers, tailors, piano mutters, social- ist*o labor par'y. i-d'^e makers, hitch ers, terra erttr. workers, press feeders, tin roofers, railrosd car wood work ers and others.

Washington, May 3 There Isa very general ■uspet.slon of building here to-day, but there is no evidence of trouble. Men who quit wtuk ure locked out uml have kept off the streets and away from the u-uul plac s of work. Wherever work te iu progress in budding trades it is under the eight hour rule In some trades the eight hours were inaugu rated some time agr; plasterers as ling ago us last fall. The number of men at work is very small compiled with the usual number. There is almoit universal movement among work men to enforce the Empire “work- .ng card” Hystem and there ate i>u merous rastsaces of men stopping work because mi u of other trader employed on the uiuie Joiis were not unionists. Another cause for the present dullness i.- scarcity of bricks I is in evidence that the unsettled condition of the labor question has virtually stopped unde' aktng of new budding enterprises for the prsoeui. at least.
