COLUMBUS, GEORGIA: FRIDAY MORNING, JULY •->,

Yesterday's Proceedings of the House
and Senate.
The Holin' Fulls to Phks the I»e« Molmw l.»nd Bill
Over the President'* Veto—The President Signs
tlio Fit* John Porter Bill—Other Interesting
(■osst/i From the XatloiialCopItol.
Washington, July l.—The speaker laid
before the house a message from the sen
ate announcing that that body had pasaed
over the president’s veto the bill to quiet
the titles of settlers on the Des Moines river
lands. The president’s message having
been read, Payson, of Illinois, presented
the reasons why the bill should be passed
over the president's veto which he said
was passed on a total misapprehension of
the tacts of the ease and of the end sought
to be accomplished by the measure.
Oates said that he had voted for the bill
and that his sympathies were still with
bona fide settlers, but he desired to see the
president treated fairly, and he thought
that the message should be referred to a
committee for the purpose of enabling an
investigation to be made of the grounds
upon which the veto was based. As the
veto was based on legal grounds be moved
to reter the bill and message to the com
mittee on judiciary.
The motion to refer was lost—yeas 103,
nays 149—and the speaker announced that
the question recurred on the passage ofthe
bill, notwithstanding the objections of the
president. The house resolved this ques
tion in the negative—yeas 161, nays 91—
not a constitutional two-third vote on the
affirmative.
The house went into committee of the
whole on the sundrv civil appropriation
bill.
The appropriation for the public print
ing office was made the occasion for an
other partisan debate, in the course of
which Bayne, of Pennsylvania, after
avoiding several points of order, succeeded
in reading from a speech made in the sen
ate yesterday by Senator Beck, in which
he expressed his humiliation that the
house should reduce appropriation so that
the members of that body could go before
the country and tell how economical the
house was and how extravagant the sen
ate. He also read a published interview
with Holman, in which that gentleman is
represented as saying that the extrava
gance of the present house in voting ap
propriations was an outrage on the people,
a violation of the party’s pledge.
Randall, acting under instructions from
the committee oil appropriations, offered
an amendment appropriating $47,000 to
meet the expenses of the inaugurating
of the statue of liberty enlightening the
world.
Hewitt offered a substitute appropriating
$106,100 for that purpose.
Bland raised the point of order against
both propositions.
Hewitt argued against the point, and
coming down to the merits or the proposi
tion, he said that the time had come when
the unparalleled evidence of sympathy
ami good will of a sister republic was to be
inaugurated by the preside t of the United
States in the presence ofthe donors and the
civilized globe, which would look on the
movement as one of the grandest achieve
ments of art, and as a proof that free people
retained for each other a feeling of regard
’ - •mpathy higher than ail mercenary
considerations of trade ami commerce. Ii
was a tribute from the heart ofthe French
people to the heart of the American peo
ple.
Belmont seconded Hewitt’s amendment.
Hammond, of Georgia, spoke against the
point of order, and in favor of
appropriating a suitable sum to in
augurate the statue in a proper
manner. Should the government give in
a niggardly way, and taking off its
hat to French people say, : ‘\Ve are much
obliged," or should it in a dignified man
ner make ever memorable the day on
which the inauguration occurred? it was
the duty of the government to do the lat
ter.
The point of order was overrule d. Final
ly Hewitt’s substitute, slightly modified,
was agreed to—116 to 19. It appropriated
i'103.1'00 for the installation oi'the statue of
liberty enlightening the world on Bedloe's
island in the harbor of New York to be ex
pended under the direction of the presi
dent for the objects speci
fied in the estimates submitted
by the engineer of the American commit
tee in charge of the work, so far as the
president shall deem said expenditures or
any part of them to be necessary and
proper.
The committee then rose and reported
the bill to the house. The amendments
were agreed to in a bulk, except those re-
. luting to the issue of small greenbacks and
small silver certificates, which were agreed
to without division, and the Bartholdi
statue amendment which was rejected-
yeas 1C3, nays 106. The bill was then
passed and the house, at 5:45, adjourned.
Washington, July 1.—Miller, from the
committee on agriculture, reported back
without amendment the house bill taxing
oleomargarine, and gave notice that he
would call it up for action after the pas
sage of tiie appropriation bills.
Jones, of Arkansas, stated that .Senators
George, Gibson, Fair and himself, a minor
ity ofthe committee, dissented from the
report.
Hale, from the committee on naval af
fairs, reported buck with amendments
the house bill lor the relief of the survivors
of the exploring steamer Jeannette and of
the widows and children of those who per
ished. Calendar.
Riddleberger introduced a preamble and
bill for a reduction bv 25 per cent, of the
salaries of cabinet officers, senators ami
members, and addressed the senate in its
advocacy. He said-that a reduction on
1200 clerkships and such things were .suffi
cient to justify the hope that the bill will
become a law at the next session of con
gress. If they were to commence reduc
tions of 1200 clerks and conclude with re
ductions of per diem labor, it seemed to
him that they should go back and begin
at the head, '(’he bill was referred to the
committee on finance.
Allison called up the house joint resolu
tion extending the appropriation for ten
days.
Edmunds called attention to Ins way of
doing business and to the present state of
affairs. For several years past the appro
priation Hills were not sent to the senate
in time to have them properly considered,
and when they came to the president he
had no time to examine them, but had
either to sign them blindly or veto them
blindly. He gave a list of dates at which
appropriation bills were received by the
senate for the last three or four congresses
and said this was not a credit to congress.
If congress could not better administer the
public Business in the most important of
its feautuvs, the proper control of public
money, it vas not deserving the confidence
of the people. He thought, therefore,
that the senate ought to take some lawful
steps in some lawful and constitutional and
respectful way to see if it can’t get on
with this important public business in a
reasonable, respectable and satisfactory
manner. If they could not or. iu in.-m-
selves into better fashion about this business
he should rather let the w * of the gov
ernment stop by refuse : , .ss this joint
resolution. The pas-. _ of such resolu
tions was a very confusing and mischiev
ous practice.
Beck i aRd tha' the extension for
ten days was simply absurd. The sundry
civil bill had not yet reached the senate
and that bill alone would require at least
three weeks for its consideration. Since
throwing grass had no effect, he was in
favor of trying the efficiency of stones, and
he thought that it would do no
harm to let the departments close for a
Saulsbury called attention to the fact
that this delay in appropriation bills was
no new thing. He understood that when
Buchanan was president he refused to sign
any important bills that did not reach him
ten duys before the expiration ofthe ses
sion.
After further discussion the joint resolu
tion was amended by extending ten to fif
teen days and passed.
The senate resumed consideration of the
legislative appropriation bill.
A long discussion took place on a point
of order as to whether the amendment to
insert the words “in full compensation”
was or was not in conflict with the rules.
The chair submitted the question to the
senate and the amendment was decided to
be in order, and it was agreed to.
A still longer discussion took place on
the proposition of the committee on ap
propriations to strike out the paragraph
for office work connected with the publi
cation of the records of the rebellion,
it being charged that these records
were not edited with impartiality, and
were not confined to the records of the
war period. A particular instance of this
was dwelt, upon, that ofthe Fitz John Por
ter matter. Finally the paragraph was re
tained, but with a proviso restricting the
publication to contemporaneous events of
the war, and another proviso
directing the publication of the
evidence in the Porter case, and the report
thereon by Judge Advocate-General Holt.
The bill was reported back to the senate.
All the amendments on which separate
votes were not demanded were agreed to
in bulk. Reserved amendments are to be
acted oil to-morrow under the five minute
debate rule.
The senate then, at 7 p. m., adjourned.

Washington, July 1.—The fiscal year
which closed with Wednesday of this week
found the national finances in pretty good
shape in spite of the croaks of croakers.
The public debt, which twenty years a^o
was $75 for each man, woman nnd child in
the country, iH now $23 for each pers >n in
the country; and the interest charged,
which at that time was over $4 per head, is
now 75 cents per capita. The total debt
to-day is just half what it was then, and
the annual interest charge but about one-
fourth of what it was at
that time. Then the lintorest bear
ing debt was $2,332,0f)0,000 , ami the inter
est from 5 to 7 3 10 per cent. Now the in
terest bearing debt is $1,220,000,000, and the
interest rate from .3 to 4* per cent. Then
the population among whom the debt was
divided was 35,000,000: now it is 60,000,000.
Then a 5 per cent government bond was
worth 00 cents on the $1, and a drug in the
market ; now a 4 per cent, bond is worth
125, and hard to get at that. Then the
item easli in the treasury was a little over
$100,000,000; now it is almost $500,000,000.
The debt statement to be issued to mark
the end of the year will show the interest
bearing debt ofthe government to be about
as follows: Three per cent bonds, pay
able at option ofthe government, $150,000,-
000 ; four and one-half per cent bonds, pay
able five years lienee, $250,000,000; four per
cent bonds, payable 21 years hence, $737,-
000,000. Then there is over $500,000,000 of
debt that bears no interest. Of this $350,-
000,000 is the legal tender notes, or, more
properly speaking, the greenbacks. Then
there is $175,000,000 of gold and silver certi
ficates. The public debt was at its highest
figure in 1865. Then the debt, less cash in
the treasury, was $2,716,000,000. The annual
interest charged that year was $150,000,000,
or nearly four times what it is to-day.

follows by tiie Baltimore Sun correspond
ent : "The senate committee on appropri

ecutive and judicial appropriation bill the
provision for the publication of the records
of the rebellion. This action will, of
course, cause a lively discussion when the
bill is reported to the .senate, it is said the
republican majority ofthe committee were
influenced by the tact that one or two ex-

lie set aside for the president ofthe United.
