FROM WASHINGTON.
%Vi*HHWtoH, July 16.—The unfinished
burinosa to be laid before Senate to-raor*
tow ns the regular order is the House bill
to reduce taxation, together with the
finance committee's amendments, propos
ing Sundry important changes in the tar-
ifflaw?. There is some talk of lading this
measure temporarily aside to-morrow, in
order to bring forward the naval appropri
ation bill, which will doubtless, in that
event, bo passed on Wednesday or Thurs
day. It is also highly probable that the
lax bill will again bo laid a*ide when the
sundry civil appropriation bill reaches the
stage of readineas for the Senate's action,
there being a very general concurrence of
opinion that the remaining appropriation
bills should be given precedence, both in
order to afford the proper amount of time
for their consideration by committees of
conference prior to their ultimate enact
ment, and as mean^of roally hytening ac
tion upon the tax bill. It is {argued
with apparent force that the prior
passage of all the appropriation bills, and
the consequent possibility of an early ad
journment, would have the effect of in-
during Senators to make comparatively
brief speeches npon this measnre, and to
©onfcno themselves mainly to offering and
voting npon amendmenb.instead of launch
ing out on the boundless sea of discussion.
On Tuesday the Republican majority in
the House expect to call up the South Car

tion of these cases, with occasional inter
ruptions to adm.t of action on conference
reports or Senate amendments to appro
priation bills, will probably occupy the re
mainder of toe wee », except in the contin
gency of a failure of the Republicans to
secure the attendance of a quorum of their
own memberj, in which event the time will
be utilized by prooeoding to miscellaneous
business on the Speakers table and on the
House calendar.

The committee of conference on the leg-
lative, judicial and executive appropria
tion bi'l reported that they had been una
ble to agree. Mr. Allison stated that the
conferees had agreed upon nearly every
item in the bill, tho main point of difference
being as to the rate of compensation to be
raid to House and Senate employes. The
House insist'd that it had a right to declare
what should be the numbor and salaries of
the Senate’s employes, while the conforms
on the patt of the Senate asserted that that
body was the best judge of the character
of its employes, their compensation and
the number necessary to transact its ’cast-
neis. After a long disensrien the confer
ence report was agreed to, acd a confer
ence committee consisting of Messrs. Alli
son, Dawes and Davis, of West Virginia,
wail appointed.

and against tbo interest of the poor.
The presiding officer stated that the pend

Beck supported the proposition as being
one of sutotunlial relief.
Mr. Johnston advocated his proposed

Mr. Hewitt, of New York* rose to a qov*-

lege, nml called attention to a pa-sago
printed in ti e llecord ns purporting to havo
bom spoken by Mr. Robeson* of New
Jersey.bat which that gentleman had never
altered on tho floor, to the effect that tho
presentation of the sabject.in ranrd to
the navy by the gentleman (Mr. Hswitt)
was ■ precious, although it pretend'd to be
candid; was extravagant, although it as
sumed to {to) careful, and was false, el
though it claimed to be frank.

between Mr. Hewitt, of New York, and Mr.
Robeson was very ,r '* *

Mr BandiU asked whether he could give
Itbe Home any aseuranco thst Congress

Mr. Hisoock replied that he could give
assurance that the appropriation bills
would be all passed long before that. The
joint resolution passed.
I Mr. Hasson, from the committee on
ways and means, reported a resolution
giving that committee leave to sit during
recess, and iustructing it to meet in Wash-
iogton for the preparation of revenue bills
an tho second Tuesday in November. He
explained that it was made the duty of the
tariff oommtasion to report from time to
time, and the object was that the com
mittee should take up the*e report* and
have aetion npon those In a forward state
of preparation before Congress assembled.
The resolution was adopted.
| Unanimous reports of the committee on
elections in the Virginia and Maine con
tested election esses were made, and
resolutions declaring ths sitting members,
Cabell and Reed, entitled to retain their
seats were adopted. Tbo Speaker appointed
Mr. McLane, of Maryland, conferee on the
river and harbor appropriation bill in
place of Mr. Reagan, of Texas, who is ill,
and asked that he l>e excused. Mr. Cal
kins, of Indiana, then called up the South
Carolina contested election case of Smalls
ngainst Tillman, against which Mr. Ran
dall raised the question of consideration,
on which question the House proceeded to
vote. The Democrats, with the exception
of Mr. Hardenbcrgli and Mr. Jones, of I
Texas, having declined to answer, the vote
lreaulted in yeas 129, nays 2. .The aggro-
gate being fitteen lees than a quorum, a call
of the llouso was prooeeded with. f
The doors having been closed the House
settled itself down to a day of leirure. A
few members took advantage of the lull
in business to write letters. A few re
tired to the cloak rooms to chat an!
smoke, and others devoted themselves to
the perusal of the morning papers, but a I
larger number assumed comfortable posi
tions and patiently awaited the arrival of
the sergeant-at-arms with delingent mem-
a vote on the question of consideration.
The roil call disclosed the presence ot 142
Republican* and two voting Democrats
(Uardenbergh and Jones) and the poiot of
no quorum was raised by Mr. Randall.
Thrco or four ineffectual roll calif fol
lowed, the Republicans at eaoh lacking
two of a quorum. Finally, at five, they
were successful, the aneation of considera
tion standing yeas 141, nays 2 (Jones, of
Texas, and Uardenbergh, of New Jer
sey). Mr. Uardenbergh explained his vote
by staling that he was paired with Hum
phrey, of Wisconsin, and that he promised
that gentleman that daring bis absence he
would vote when neoessary to make a quo
rum. So*tho contested election case was
taken up. Mr. Calkin* announced that he
wonld coll the previous question at ths
end of two honrs' discussion, which led to
% sarcastic suggestion by Mr. Blackburn
that five minutes was amply sufficient.
The debate w»s opened by Mr. Wait, of
Connecticut, with a speech to favor of the
claim of the contestant, Smalls. At the
conclusion of his remarks, the House ad
journed.
Wasixxxotox, July 19.—The Senate took
up the revenue tax bill, and resumed dis
cussion of the amendment reducing the to
bacco tax to twelve cents. Mr. Bayard spoke
favor of the amendment. Mr. Mahone
opposed the amendment as calculated to
benefit largely the retail dealer to the prej
udice of the consumer and producer. He
thought the difference between the old and
new rates woald be so slight that the
dealer would take advantage of the reduc
tion and oonticne to charge the same rates.
He preferred to have the tax fixed at eight
power; which had tilled every department
of the government with corruption; which
bad glorified ex-Senator Dorsey, now fa
mous on account of his connection with
the post route deal; which levied blackmail
on office-holders in order to raise a corrup
tion fund, to lecture the people of Booth
Carolina as to wbat wr.e the highest stand
ard of morality. Booth Carolina did wbat
WM right, and was not respoatible for ila
action to the Republican party, but to the
government of the country.
Mr. Springer sent to the clerk's desk for
exhibition a small drawing of a district in
Illinois which he declared bore a strong
resemblance to the districts in South Caro
tin vto which the gentleman from Michi-
gan (llorr) objected.
Mr. Robinson, of New York, said that
while the question of gerrymandering was
under discuition be desired to call att*n.
tioa to the shape ot the district which he
reprerented. and which was known as
the “damb-oeir district.
Mr. Tillman, of Scnlh Carolina, spoke
in bis own behalf, but addressed himself
especially to the propriety of the Houso
deciding on the eleotion returns of its
members. Ho thought thst a great fault
of the constitution lay in the provision
which allowed tha House to judge of the
eleotion of its members, be cruse gentle-
Btt were influenced by party politios,
which excited prejudice and made thorn
determine contrary to the law, the evidence
and justioe. There was another cause why
justice could not bo done, and that was on
account of the new propsgandism in
which the Republican party had
been engaged for twenty years to
effect the “nnirerral fatherhood of God
and the universal brolbothood of man.”
In espousing that doctrine it had attempted
to reverse the laws of God Almighty and
had failed, and would continue to fail.
That doctrine would lead to the enfran
chisement of Asiatio hordes, who woald
overwhelm onr very civilization. For these
and other reasons it was impossible for the
House to judge impartially of election
eases, and he favored creating a court
to determine the facts in each case.
Hs then prooeeded to reply to Mr. Horr.
whom he characterized as having played
tha buff.on. While that gentleman bad
been prancing like a down in a circa* and
pleading against the wrong which had
been done to negroes in the roJUtricting
ol Booth Carolina, he (Tillman) could not
help remembering that there were 165,000
voters in Michigan who did not vote the
Republican ticks*, who wero gerryman
dered out of any representation on this
uoor. Unfortunately since 1870 tho peo
ple of South Carolina had collected a lit
tle property, acd he was afraid from the
unceremonious msnner in which the
choice of the people wore kicked
out of this body, there was another ring
forming to swoop down npon to rob them
of what little substance they had accumu
lated. If the Republicans went on as they
hive been going on, he was satisfied the
South would be reconstructed, and recon
structed for the purpose of plunder. He
saw that, as far as hi* case concerned, the
Republicans were anxious to finish their
work; but that woald rot disturb h r s equa
nimity in tho least. He had discounted long
ago the worst they canid do. He was satis
fied that though Shelley and hinuelf were
going to be turned out they would come
back to the next Congress, and they wonld
come Lack by negro votes. He would be
a candidate again unices his constitnenta
wisheJ a change, and if any Republican

A Republican, interrupting—“Horr.

woald inare to the consumer end prodicer
alike. He gave notice that when the
third section of the bill was reached
he would move to reduce the rate to eight
cents. In regard to tho rebato clause, he
strtnnonriy advocated its restoration, and
a»ssrted that this was das to mauofatureis
and dealers as a matter ot common hon
esty. The tobacco interest of the country
wai unanimous in tho advocacy of the re.
bate. In confirmation of bis assertion, he
qnoted the statements of leading manufac
turers, and read a letter from P. Lorillard
A Co., who, he said, manufactured 22,000,-
(XX) pounds and paid the government a
revenue of from three to four million dol
lars per annum. The lstter asrigned (he
following reasons in support of the rebato
ciauae : It wonld be an act of justice to
ihovj who had paid the tax on the cost
price, as a reduction in the rates depreci
ates the value ot the stock on hand by thst
much; it woald not be neoessary to pro
vide that a long period shall intervene to
enable the manufacturer and dealer to
provide for lower rates of tax, while the
regular operatiocs of the employes and op
eratives will not be disturbed. Tho Arm
suggested a redaction to eight contain
C iferunco to ten oenta, as this would
vo the fax at exactly half a oent per ounce,
thereby avoiding fractions in calculations
of ounce*, and a saving of trouble in many
ways; but in the event of a reduc
tion or total abolition authority
should be given to repay to dralvrs who
have Urge stocks on hand the Ux paid on
all unbroken packages, as otherwise many
dealers would be teriourly crippled anil
others driven into bankruptcy. On the
other band, tho fixing of a day in the fu
ture at which the reduction shall take ef
fect will virtually throw out of employ
ment thousands of dependent operatives,
and naturally reduce the prioe of leaf to-
baooo, as the manufacturers cannot work,
and the only parties benefited will be the
buyers for foreign governments and
foreign dealers.
From another authority in Cincinnati
ie epeaker quoted that if the Ux be re-
iced ono-half,
auccu uuo-usii. iu eight oent*. con
sumers will obtain at once the foil bene
fit of the reduetion, which wilt be exaotly
half a cent per ounce. Tho .reduction of
•ix cents would in many, If not most ofiaes.
eMefly benefit the retailers, and but little

Hr, however, gave the Republican

its opinion* and of standing np to a man

which the Republicans stood by their men

cate wa* basid, comparing the site of the
same with the population of the several
counties, and shows J that it wa largely ‘
exces* of the actual voting population

fraud* which, according to the testimony,
had been perpetrated acd the videx es and
intimidation ruaertad to in the various pre

suppressing and destroying the Repablioan
The previous question was then ordered,
and the debate was ctreed tor Mr. Miller, uf
Pennsylvania, who reviewed in detail the
testimony in the ease* and maintained that
Smalls had been locally elected.
The minority resolution, declaring Till
man entitled to retain his Beat, was de
feated without a division, and the question
recumd upon the first leeolntion of the
majority declaring Tillman was not elect
ed. It was agreed to by yeas 14S—nays 1—
exactly a quotum. The next resolution,
declaring Emails entitled to the teat was
eerrisd—yeas 111,nays5. (Ford,of Missou

casting his vote in the negative, Mr. Cal

to regret that thrre were not more consci

The Speaker then stated that in footing
