Session.
Washington, July 30.—As soon as the
reading of the journal was concluded the
senate went into secret session, but the
doors were opened in a few minutes and
public business proceeded with.
On motion of Pugh the senate amend
ments to the h ju'ie bill to provide for the
appointment and compensation of a dis
trict judge for the southern district of Ala
bama were reconsidered and the amend
ment (section three) fixing salaries of all
judges of district courts at $5000 was struck
out. Another amendment, that no rela
tives of a United States judge (within the
degree of first cousin) shall be appointed
to any office or duty in the court of which
such judge is a member, was also struck
out, the reason for action in both cases be
ing that the original bill was a local one,
while these amendments (offered original
ly by Logan) were of a general character.
Hoar attempted to get up his resolution
of yesterday for the appointment of a com
mittee to arrange for a centennial celebra
tion of the adoption of the constitution (in
1889) and the 400th anniversary of the dis
covery of America in 1492, but he found
that under the rule the resolution had
gone to the calendar. He, therefoie,
offered it again as from himself mot at a
report from the library committee), and it
went over till to-morrow.
T he senate at noon resumed consideration
of the surplus resolution.
Teller continued his speech, interrupted
yesterday by George’s question, to which
Jones, of Nevada, replied. He referred to
the question asked him yesterday by
George, as to whether he knew any method
of compelling the owners of money to put
it in circulation. He had answered that
question in the negative. His answer,
however, applied to banks and individuals;
it did not apply to the government. The
pending resolution looked to compelling
the government of the United .States to
pay out surplus money which was now
locked up in the treasury beyond the
reach of the business of enterprises of the.
country.
Vance spoke in support of the resolution
as it came from the house. It was plain
and simple, and tile plain people of the
country mot learned in the technicalities
of finance) so regarded it. The question
simply was whether the government
should pay its debts from money on hand.
That course was the plainest dictation of
common sense and old-fashioned honesty.
He did not trouble himself to inquire
whether the joint resolution would
or would not be a vote
of want of confidence in
the administration. That was .an argu
ment unworthy to be addressed to a sena
tor of the United States, and it was un
worthy of tlie dignity of lbs position for
•him to listen to such an argument. To
suppose that a senator would abandon his
honest conviction or suffer himself to be
influenced by any considerations other
than those affecting the public good waa
insulting. To suppose that the president
desired senators to be actuauicf by any
other aim in their legislative conduct win
not complimentary to him or to the senate.
For himself, he had only inquired as to
whether the resolution would promote the
general welfare of the people, lie was
constantly told that this was this adminis
tration; that he had helped to put it in
power; and that as it was the only demo
cratic administration which the country
had had for a quarter of a century, it was
entitled to and shound receive his cordial
support. That waS ail very true. The ad
ministration was entitled to and
should have his best support
in ail things, but npt nt the expense of his
honest convictions of duty. - in other
words, he desired to be an honest man, as
well as a democrat. [Quiet, laughter on
the republican side.] He believed that the
action or the house in passing the joint
resolution '207 to (151 reflected the wishes
of the people, and lie proposed to be obe
dient to the popular behest. He was,
therefore, in favor of the resolution as it
came from tlie house, pure and
simple, and he was opposed to the
amendment because it increased instead of
diminishing the treasury reserve, and be
cause it left the whole matter to the secre
tary of the treasury just as now, and that
the secretary had declared again and again
that the public debt must be paid in gold.
Gorman addressed the senate in favor of
the resolution as amended.
The debate was interrupted to permit
the announcement of Dolph, Teller and
Cockrell us conferees on the Northern Pa
cific land forfeiture bill.
Debate was resumed and continued by
McPherson in favor of the amendment
proposed by the committee on finance,
and by Whitthorne in favor generally of
the house resolution, particularly ir^advo
cacy of the bill to restore the proceeds of
cotton in the treasury, and by Call on the
siver question generally, but especially
against the resolution Jand amendment hi
favor of leaving the whole matter in the
hands of theseeretary of the treasury.
Edmunds moved to amend the amend
ment to the surplus resolution by substi
tuting the president for the secretary of
the treasury, so that it shall read “wherein
in the opinion of the president the public
interests shall require it, he may direct the
secretary of the treasury to suspend further
call,” etc.
Edmunds stated as a reason for the
amendment that the duty of suspending
the execution of a law did not belong to
the secretary of the treasury, and should
very rarely belong to the president. On
many occasions, however, it had
been found necessary to vest
in the supreme executive the authority and
power, in emergencies, of suspending tlie
execution of a law or a public policy of
congress, but it never had been vested in
any subftrdidate officer and never ought to
be!
The amendment was agreed to.
CV ke moved to add tlie following pro
vision: “Provided that such suspension and
the reasons therefor shall lie reported to
congress within ten days after its next
meeting, or immediately if congress shall
be in session.”
Agreed to.
The chair laid before the senate a mes
sage from the president returning, with
his objections, an act to authorize the con
struction of a highway bridge across a part
of Lake Champlain, tiie objections being
that an act for the same purpose was
already on the statute book, and that he
could not discover any excuse or necessity
for new legislation on the subject.
The message was laid on the table and
ordered printed.

The house bill to increase the naval es
tablishment was taken up, amended and
passed. A. conference was asked for, and
Cameron, Hale and McPherson were ap
pointed conferees.
The senate conferees consented to an
amendment decreasing the appropriation
for the lock at the cascades on Columbia
river $37,500 less than tne senate amend
ment. All .the items of appropriation
which were contained in the bill reported
to the senate by the senate committee, and
which amounted to not more than $20,000
each, and which by the senate amendment
were reduced 25 per cent., the senate con
ferees consented to restore to their
original amount respectively, thus re
storing the reduction of 25 per
cent. The gross amount of this increase is
in round numbers $158,000. The bill as it
passed the senate appropriated $14,013,935.
The amount of tlie amendments agreed
upon by the conference increases the above
amount about $07,810, making the total
amount appropriated about $14,301,500. A
section is added la the bill making it un
lawful to throw ballast, stone, slate, gravel,
earth, slack, rubbish, wreck, tilth, sk.bs,
edgings, sawdust, slop, cinder or other re
fuse, or with waste of any kind in New
York harbor.
Adjourned. _
House.
Washington, July 30.—Smalls, of South
Carolina, offered a resolution appropriating
$10,000 for the relief of persons rendered
destitute by the overflow of the Santee,
Pcdee and Waceamow rivers in South
Carolina. Referred to the committee on
appropriations.
In compliance with the arrangement
made yesterday the house resumed consid
eration of the vetoed pension bills, the
first being that granting $50 a month to
the widow of General David R. Hunter.
The house refused to pass the bill over tlie
\eto—yeas 111, nays 108—not a constitu
tional two-thirds in the affirmative.
The consideration of vetoed bills grant
ing pensions to Mary Norman, John W.
Farris and David T. Elderkin was post
poned until the next session.
The house refused to pass over the
president’s veto—yeas 119, nays 96 (not a
constitutional two-thirds in the affirma
tive), the bill granting a pension to Mary
Anderson. This disposed of the vetoed
pension bills upon the calendar, and in ac
cordance with the agreement the house
resumed consideration of the interstate
commerce bill. The previous question was
ordered, and the question recurred on the
substitute (the Reagan bill) to the senate
hill (the Cullom bill). The substitute was
agreed to—yeas 133, hays 10-1.
Baker, of New York, moved to recom
mit the bill with instructions to the com
mittee on commerce to report it back
amended by the substitution of the senate
bill. Lost—yeas 70, nays 158.
The senate bill as amended by the adop
tion of the Reagan substitute was then
passed—yeas 180, nays 41—and a conference
was requested.
Blanchard submitted the conference re
port on the river and harbor appropria
tion bill. The reading of the report con
sumed nearly two hours and no time was
left for the reading of the descriptive
statement accompanying the report which
is signed by only two of the house con
ferees. •
Hatch raised the question of considera
tion, pending which the house, at 5
o’clock, took a recess until 8 o’clock, the
evening session to be for the consideration
of pension bills.
Of late the Friday night sessions of the
house have been characterized by much
confusion and noise and some had blood.
The session of to-night, however, out
heroded Herod and the large audience in
the galleries were moved to applause by
the eloquent speeches and alternately
thrown into laughter or worked into a
state of excitement by the warm passages
on the floor. Nothing that in
a congressional phraze could
be termed unparliamentary was said, but
the discussion verged very closely upon
dangerous ground. The trouble arose
when, after the house had considered two
pension bills, the point of “no quorum”
was raised by Wallace, of Louisiana, when
a bill which, in his judgment, was without
merit, was called up for action and
for his policy in regard to pension eases, j
he was roundly assailed by Cannon-of Illi
nois, and Price, of Wisconsin, who charged I
him with inconsistency and with a dispo- j
sition to prevent the pensioning of soldiers
who had lost their health in endeavoring :
to save his state to the union.
Wallace indignantly denied the charges j
and made a counter charge oi inconsLsten- j
cv, but finally good temper was re-estab
lished and the bill which caused tne trou
ble wftB postponed until the next session.
Eight pension bibs were passed and at
11 7i ick the house adjourned.

Augusta Chronicle, ‘2i)th.
Every act of tlie mills is looked upon
with interest by those who are not on the
inside and the Chronicle always endeavors
to obtain facts to givo them to the public.
The Chronicle several weeks ago announc
ed that Mr. Cogin had tendered his resig
nation as superintendent, and on Sunday
published a petition from the mill officer's
asking the directors to request Mr. Cogin
to withdraw his resignation. The breach
between Mr. Cogin and the directory
seems to have been so great, that he deem
ed it, best to sever his connection with the
Augusta factory, which ho has
been superintendent of for over
a score of years. It was not
thought that Mr. Cogin’s resignation
would take effect before the 1st of Septem
ber, but it wns rumored on tlie street yes
terday afternoon that Mr. Cogin liad
stepped down and out, nnd thnt Mr. A. F.
Crombe, for a long time an overseer, was
in chnrge and would be made superin
tendent. Mr. Cogin has differed materially
with tiie management of the mill. He
has been with the Augusta factory through
ups and downs, and is highly respected
and loved by the operatives. Mr. Cogin
and President Pbinzy were neither seen
last evening. It is deemed by some un
fortunate that, Mr. Cogin should have left
the mill at this lime, lie is considered one
of the best organizers of labor in this sec
tion, and is a line business man ill every
particular.
Mr. Cogin will lie succeeded by a gentle
man who tins for quite a number of years

eratives and the confidence of the direc
tors of the mill. The situation outside of
