THE ATHENS GEORGIAN: NOVEMBER 27, 1877.
From Washington
CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.
Washington, November 21.—-The
House occupied all day in the consid
eration of the deficiency bill, which
appropriated $1,500,000. The two
principal items were to pay judgments
on court claims and the salaries of
postmasters.
On motion of Mr. Waddell, of
South Carolina, and amendment was
adopted, rendering available for the
steamer service of the post-office,
carrying the mails on other than rail
road and steamboat routes, $700,000
heretofore appropriated, but not ex
pended. The motion, however, was
voted down in the House. No fur
ther action was taken on the bill.
Confirmation—The Senate was in
executive session over an hour, and
only succeeded in confirming Win. I.
Hnnter as receiver of public monies
at Hayes City, Kansas.
The President ha9 signed the army
and navy deficiency bill.
The injunction of secrecy has been
removed from ilie eifcoittiye proceed
ings of the Senate regarding San
Domingo matters. It * is unknown
whether this action is'intended to
unearth or to : bury scandal. 7 M. | <
The Report of the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue shows an increase
of a million : in the revenue from dis
tilled spirits. The total increase in
the internal revenue, from all sources,
bacco, aaj the revenue tberJmotn is
largely increased, especially on ciga
rettes. <m • im * - iny
The habeas corpus case of Senator
Patterson wa3 Tosumed to-day. Ar
gument was commenced to-day, and
promises to occnpy several days. In
the Scqate, tbi$ afternoon, Mr. Conk-
ling, for the Republican senators,
demanded' an immediate voters a
motion of Mr. Hoar to lay on tbo
table the resolution of Mr. Thurman
to discharge the Committee on Priv
ileges and Elections from" the further
consideration of the credentials of M.
C. Butler ns senator from South
Carolina. The Democratic senators
opposed this motion, aud io carry the
matter over until to-morrow, Mr.
Thurman submitted a motion for an
executive session which was.agreed
to—yeas 30, nays 29. Messrs. Cono
ver, of Florida, and Davis, of Illinois,
voting with the Democrats in favor
of the executive session.
Tim deficiency bill that was before
the House to-day does ndt contain
tlio item to defray the expenses of j {j£h , "K*2i 0ii<
the President’s Louisiana commissian.
There was such an item in the bill as
originally reported from the commit
tee on appropriations, but subse
quently that bill was withdrawn and
recommitted, and as reported back it
omiled all reference to the Louisiana
commission. It is surmised that this
change of mind on the part of the
committee was caused by a desire to
avoid a text for a political discussion
that might be both dilatory and ex
ceed.
The committee on elections of the
House has postponed tlw Colorado
case until the regular session.
In the Senate, the Silver bill was
reported after the executive session.
Mr. Thurman’s resolution to dis
charge the committee on privileges
and elections from.further considera
tion of the Senatorial contest from
South Carolina, was discussed to ad
journment The elections committee
of the House appointed’s sub-commit
tee composed of Turney, Cobb and
Thornburge, on the Florida contest
case, Finley vs. Bisbce.

removed without cause. The re
maining thirty-four senators are so
pledged. The four delinquents are
senators Chris'.ianey, Hoar, Matthews
and Burnside. They will not act
under an arbitrary rule, but prefer
to use their own judgment in reference
to particular cases.
The question of whether the Demo
crats will vote solid to confirm the
President’s appointments, but there
is no don.ht that they will do all
they can to secure a break in the
Republican ranks. Senator Tliurman
told a gentleman to day that while
he did not vote lor the passage of
ilie tenure of office act, he believed
it ought to be executed as long as it
stood upon the. statute books. This
remark is regarded as an intimation
that he will vote with Conkling and
the Republicans to reject the Presi
dent's appointments.
As long as Christiancy, Burnside,
Matthews and Hoar stand out, they
have the balance of power, there
being only four Republican majority
in the Senate, anc! the question was
put at them directly in caucus on
Saturday, whether they would split
their party fer the President’s sake.
Another question put to them was,
where would President Hayes’ di
vision in the Republican party be
when it would divide on the ratio of
thirty-four to four.
These questions were not answered,
but will be the first time a lest vote
is taken.
The prevailing belief is that these
four senators will not be compelled
tp . array themselves against their
party, because first, the majority will
try tp prevent an opportunity occur
ring, and the minority will try to
avoid the opportunity should one
occur.
It seems very probable that_the
York and Chicago Custom
ise appointments, which would
offer a test case in one of the disputed
points, and Democratic nominations
which would offer a test in the other
points, will be buried in the pigeon
holes of the committee room for the
next week, when the Senate will
adjourn, and they will die natural
deaths. In this way, a split in the
Republican party will be avoided,
and time will be trusted to bring a
solution of the complications and
harmony.

ITIIO HOLD CHE BALANCE OF PONTO IN
TOE SENATE I
Washington, November 20.—The
determined effort of the Republican
senators to keep their caucus pro-
ceedings secret, has been only par
tially successful, and as more of what
■was said and done leaks out, it is seen
that the original reports were very
nearly accurate, ana the position of
tbo senators towards the President
bus not been misunderstood.
Four Republicans decline to pledge
themselves to vote against the con
firmation of Democrats appointed to
office and persons appointed to suc
ceed good officials who bave been
