Washington, Jail. 30.—At the open
ing o£ ,he session of the house today,
m. Hoi kiua asp . m.., reported ,h.
census bill and gave notice that he
would call it up next Monday The
house tlieu resumed the consideration of j
the army reorganization bill under an !
agreement that if the bill was completed
today under the 5-ininute rule the time
tomorrow beforo 5 o’clock would be de¬
voted to general debate. This arrange¬
ment was made to give the leaders on
each side au opportunity to close.
The first amendment offered today
was that of which the committee had
given notice authorizing the president
to enlist only 60 men in a cavalry troop
and 60 in an infantry company. Mr.
Mars-b, (Rep, Ills.) who offered the
amendment, said that this would re¬
duce the enlisted force to 50,000 if the
president exercised the discretion it con¬
ferred upon him.
Mr. Hay (Dem., Yr..), of tho minority
of the committee, protested to the house
that it was impossible to perfect He would a bill
ou the floor of the house. of¬
fer an amendment, he said, to have the
bill provide for only 60 men in an in¬
fantry company or a cavalry troop, but
g’ve the president discretion to increase
the number to 145 ami 100 respectively,
this discretion, however, to be exercised
only in time of war.
Clialr Gets lii Trouble.
At this point a warm altercation oc¬
curred between Mr. Johnson (Rep.,
lad.) and Mr. Payne, (Rep., N. \\)
who was i:i the chair, the former claim¬
ing that rite chair refused to recognize
him. Mr. Payne explained that Mr.
Johnson had already consumed much
time and he hud felt constrained to
recognize other members.
"Too much Jomiaon,” shouted Mr.
Tawnev, (Rep., Minn.) amid laughter.
Mr. Do Almond (Deni., Mo ) objected
to the amendment ou the ground that
the discretionary power was to be exer¬
cised in the wrong direction.
The bill, lie continued, should provide
for only 50,000 men and the president
should take responsibility of increasing
it to 100.000. it should not provide for
100,000 and give the president discretion
to reduce it.
Mr. Marsh’s amendment, relating to
the cavalry trooiis, was adopted, 105
to 82.

CARE FOR HEROES’ GRAVES.
First Si*p Toward Carrying Ont the
NujiSOAtlon of Mrliiiiloy.
W ashinoton, Jun. 28. — Senator
Fritckard has introduced in the senate
an amendment to the appropriation bill
which is designed to be thn first step to
y a rd carrying out the suggestions of
the president for tho cure of the confed¬
erate graves. Thi* ftiueudmeut provides
for an appropriation for the preliminary
work.
it is as follows:
"To enable tho secretary of war to
niako a thorough examination and re¬
port to congress as to the number of
canfe ierate cemeteries iu the United
States sud tlm location thereof, and tho
number of confederate soldiers buried
in other thaji confederate cemeteries
aud the location of such cemeteries,
with tin, view of ascertaining the liest
method of caring for the confudorato
cemeteries, aud also for the removal,
where practical or desirable, of ooufod
eratu dead irom private cemeteries to
such confederate ccmetcvies, the sum of
|10,000.”
As tho amendment explains on its
face, it provides simply for paving the
way for the work. This is probably all
that will be done by this congress, but
after tho information has been ascer¬
tained it is fully expected tliut the work
will go ou and that the groves especially
m distinctively confederate cemeteries
will bo cared for.
:jO WAR STAMP REQUIRED.
Atloruey General of N’ortli Carolina
li'-mlf-l-H a Decision.
Kalekhi, Jun. 28.—".Lae attorney gen
erul of North Carolina ha* given the
following opinion to a clerk of the t»u
p*nor court:
“It is uot necessary for you to place a
documentary internal revenue stamp on
a report made to this otliuo. Tho state
has the imrijui right, to conduct its os own husi
ness through it* own agencies without
interference, direotl.v or indirectly, from
the national governnienr.
"A state is but a corporation and oath
uo t act except through its own agon
ties The federal government cannot
requh-e official revenue bonds stamp* of to be placed on
the state or county
municipalities, though I notice the com
missiouer of internal revenue has made
a different ruling.
“Tho power to take involves the power
to destroy. Congress has no power to
make tax deeds issued by t,lm state void
for the want of a stamp, nor can con
gross forbid the recording of an uu
stamped instrument under the state
laws."
