THE INDIANAPOLIS DAILY SENTINEL MONDAY MORNING FEBRUARY 10.1885 PROCEEDINGS 15 CONGRESS. lend it Ion or the TYards of the ';illin Dicasaed in the Senate Indian Depredation Ctelm?. The PostofUco Appropriation Bill, as Amended, Passed by the House national Legislation. FonrY-EiGiirn conukess. The BiRt Washington, Feb. 14. Mr. Mitchell pre sented a memorial of the Legislature of I'ennsylraaia, urging reimbar;etnent by tue Vnited States to the State of Pennsylvania of all aurus expended in defease of the "United fc:ate3. Referred. Mr. Hale, from the Committee on ApprD- jiriatioris. reported the Agri'jultur.tl Appro priation bill, with amend.xf ntf-. He saii the Senate CyminltUe docket uo clear, this being the last eppruriatioa Dill sent over by the Horje. The bill was pUcedon the calendar. TLe bill to qaiet titles to Des Moines rarer settlers waj then placed Wore the Senate, and Mr. Lapham continued his speech gainst it. At 1 o'clock the matter went over till Alonday, Mr. Lapham still having the floor, ' The Indian Appropriation bill was then laXtn up. A number of th9 Senate Coai aalttee's amendments having been agreed tot 30 me discussion arose as to the proposed amendment of the committee which would 3triie ont clause i of.the Honse bill involving UTitral Jfgi&Iaiion. The special clause on 'which point w&3 raised wai oaa aatborizing the Secretary cf the Interior, viih tha on ent cf ibe Indians, to extead the tim of lajxne&t for lands formt::; a pirt of tha oruaca Itervation, author zed by act of Ar. -net, l$i2, to bo sold. Mr. Manderson siid the clau?e wai j tut bü it could cot be wronc to d) jastice. Mr. 1'lnmb said if the House iteais were to 1 1-carefully examined, why should not the hiiate iteLcs be also investigated? Ji ex tiü', nation c! all was mai!e, an extra sc-sjioa cf Con?re33 ould be necesjary, a.id the committee could not undertake to risk that, vn If the Senate were not what it is. Mr. Davres was opposed to stl legislative I reposition in appropriation bit's. Mr. Van "Wyck said: Session after Fe3!oa e&re denying justice to oar citizens be cause of rule of the Senate. It would b3 u little more sensible to lix our ral83 S3 that tone legislation cocl J be had. Tue Senate had in the Pension bill tried to do justice, Lot withstanding a Senate rule. There was very little equity in the provision under consideration. Considerable discussion ensued, in which the House provisions for payment of claims tor Indian depredations formed a leading feature. There was some diversity of opinion as to whether payment of those cla ms should be made out of moneys held forsuppoit of the Indians resulting from 3&Ie of Indian lands or out of the Treasury. The question of proving the validity of claims also came under consideration. Mr. Dawes eaid there were $7,000.000 or $:,ec0,(-oo of these cioims lying in tie In ttner Department; the claimants were ap parently convinced of the justice of their claims, and it was a reproach to the Govern loent that they tad not been taken up and disposed cL The claims were so larse and the funds from which, under the Indian treaties, they were to be paid, sd small, thai we had shrunk from disposing of thera. An tcd ahouli be made of them, but should be njanecd. If the Indian faad wi not ncngh to pay the claims, we should settle the question whether they should be paid from the general Treasury. Hat. in Mr. Dawes' opinion, we ihould not pick out a lew o! those claims Lud put them in appro priation bills, merely because the owners of h.se claims had strong friends, who were willir to ure them. Mr. Coke described the suft'rinqs cau3d v the depreciatlcna end hardships iaipoied on white settlers, who were not permitted to ui:ow the Indians and recover stolen property, because the robber3 were the wards of the Nation." Atone tims 1C.000 horses and mules, stolen from Texas, were in keeping of the Indians. Claim? that had been inyestieated and proved twenty years aeo, were still unpaid. Mr. Coke regarded this as a great injustice. Mr. Miller, of California, thought we oa?ht to do justice to the claims contained in the bill, and not let the rule of the Senate stand between a citizen and justice. Mr. Maxey believed wa ehould not post pone the claims that were before us simply fcer ai:s other claims were not presented. Mr. Cockrell was in favor of making all these claiius a charge on the Ind aiFund. The Indians should be ma ie t.i piy every dollar of damages resulting from depreda- tfOL. At the close of the dicairon Mr. Dawes succeeded in getting the iSjnat to agree to the committee amendment striking oat tho legislative item indicated. Heading of trie bill then proceeded, and n reachin? the section providing for the A!9iniboines, Mr. Vest moved to incree 1 heir appropriation from $30.000 to $30,000. lie drew a mo?t pathetic picture of hi3 per s nal observations of the sufferings of that tr.be in a bleak, mhoepitabie region of caua t:v. Yhen the Indians were dying by hua drrde of absolute starvation Mr. Vet had personal'? appealed to Commissioner Pr:c, cf the Indian Bureau, for eome rations to kff p life in them, but that gautleman can'.d enly reply that he had "no funis." The soldiers of the United States, to their honor it should be said, saved many lives among thops starving people by voluntarily giving cp their own rations. Without action on Mr. Vest's motion the 5nite went into executive session and soon adjourned. -- Tbe Uonae. When the House met this morning in con t'neatien cf Friday's session Mr. Willis moved that the House go fato Committee of the Whole on tbe Iliverand Harbor bill, end pending that moved that all debits be limited to one hour and a half. Mr. Turner, of Georgia, riling to a point of crder, said when the gentleman made the latter motion yesterday the point was made that this was not In order. The point had been overruled, an appeal taken, and motion made to ley the appeal on the table. An couccement had been made that on this motion the yeaa had it; whereas it appeirsl from the Record tills morning that the vote itccd yeas 07, navs The Speaker pro tern. (Mr. Blackburn) ftated that the Record wm in error; the journal, which was the olhcia! ora of the House, fcbonred that the appeal had been laid on the table by a vote of jeas 121, nays 101. Qa u.gii?3 cj Hrt Jijlu:; a m-iva ordered fcr to-night, for consideration of the Legislative Appropriation bill. The regular order having been dmanded, the Speaker announced the regular order to he consideration of pension bills coming over from last night's session. Mr. Wilis said it was clear that it was the intention cf the House yesterday to devote this morning' Eeeslon to consideration of the IUveiand Harbor bill, and assed unani mous conEent that the regular order be dis pemed with, but Mr. Heed objected. The first bill comine over was one grant irg a pension cf ?2,0 pr annum totha widow of General Geonrj IL Thomas, and alter ti( b'e it was pied -veaj M.'i, neya 52. Mr. Wilils thsn renewed his motion, and Mr. Heed made the point that tao Po&toßice Appropriation bill mu?t be considered, the previous question having been ordered utcn it The Speaker overruled the point on the pround that it was understood tint the bill should not came up until after the read ing of Friday's journal, and held th't this n orning n reofiion was but a pro:oug;ion ot isst night's session. 1 Mr. Kelly then made a point of or.?er that J n'.;rihat ruling no oustceu was la order but consideration of t?::iion bills.

The latter motion was agreed to, I'M to ".2 Afttr half an lour consumed by the ti f&ktr in ruling upoa tue points of order, M.fcwering pirliamentary inquiries, and en- desvcjing, rather unsuccessfully, to suppress ! border and collusion on the flaor, the qnestipu recnrifd on Mr. W illis' motion to limit dfcfcat" on tho pending section of tha Ilivor and Harbor bill to one hour anda half, srd it was agreed to, and then the Hoa?? -vent into Committee on the Whole, Mr. Hrmmond in the Chair, on tho bill in dicfltt . Aft' tading of the pending section by the Cl j' a diecuss on aroe 83 tj how the hour." d a half allowed for aebata should be dii . lbutfd, and no arrangement wai ar rived .-.t, and poster of recognition vtüj left entirfiy with the Chair. Mr. t urner, of Geoniia. raioed a point cf order r.gainst the Iler.cep;a Ca aal paragraph. He cciittndtd that in reporting this cUuaa to tLe House the Committee on Ilivors and Haibors had exceeded its jurisdiction and irfrirgfd upon jurisdiction cf the Commit tre on Railways and Canal3. The Heantpin Cpnal cituse wai no more germane to tiis till than would ba a pro;ocitioa io cjn ttruct an elevated railroad frora ocean to cctancrtodig the Xicaraguau Canal. It t.to clashed with the rulee in that ttchang&d ti e existing law and was not in the direc tion of retienchment of eipeudlture. Mr. Henderson, of Illinois, argued that it tbcre wes any force at all in the objection that the Committee on Rivtrs and Harbr.rs had do jurisdiction over the subject, that objection wa3 waived by the Hou?e when it referred the bill to the Committee cf tha Whole. Tbcre was not a canal in the country which had been constructed by the General Government that hail not been provided for by the River and Harbor bill. This very point had b3en overruled last passion by the Ccairman of the Committee cf the Whole (Mr. Wellborn), on the express ground that references of the bill to the committee wa3 a waiver of any objection which might be raised to the jurisdiction of the Committee on Rivers and Harbors. Mr. Gates said that th9 decision had been taved cn the fact that at the time of refer ence the point3 ct crder had not been re served a.Phinst the bill, which was not the cose with the present bill. Mr. Murphy orgusd that the Committee cn Rivers and Harbors had proper jurisdic tion over the subject, he himself having re ferred numerous petitions asking for this legislation to that committee. Jf the Hen nepin Canal was an improvemerU in the in Umt cf commerce, It wa entitled to leiti n tte consideration at the hand3 cf the committee. Alter icrther debate the Chair reserved decision on the point of order for the pres ent. "be committee then ro93. The vote by which it was ordored that the PostoClce Appropriation bill thoald not be considered until efier reeding of tho journal on Friday u:t JeccEsidered, and the bill wai tacenup uiider operation of the previous question. The tirät amendment on which separate cta wes demanded was that increasing from ?1.1CO,000 to $i.53ö,00O the appropria tion for the letter-carrier service. Agreed to yeas. 151; cave, W. The amendment in crtRptng by '0,0M) the appropriation for the Star route service waa agreed to yeas, lf "; nays, 91. The next amendment was that striking out the clause granting additional compen sation to American steamships for carrying mails. It was agreed to yeas, 120; uavs, 113. Other amendments were agreed without (Mv;slcn and the bill was passed. Mr. Bing hfm oti't red a resolution, which was appro priately referred, reciting that sundry nssvs papers published notices during the summer cf ct ncernirg alleged frauds in the sup ply of cllicial envelopes for the PostofJce De jartment. and reo,netiu the Postmmer Uerfral to cemmumcata to the Commit'ee cn PoetciuCPS and Poast Roach &11 tha facia with tapers or copi3 thenof, cinnscted with the annulment in Aopust, 18SI, of thy ccritrart with T. P. Kellogg it Co., of Spring f frld, Mass., for supplying oilicial enveloped; fihoto inform the committee whether en velopes inferior to requirements were fnrntsi.'ed under that contract; whether any cllicer of the Government was in fault, and what action the Postmaster General his taken to protect the interests of tha Govern mei t. The Honse thn resumed coasider.Atiou of tbe River ard Harbor bill in commite of tbe whole, and after an uninteresting ive minute debate for one hour, rose, aud the Heme went into committee cf the who e, Mr. McMillin in the Chairroa the Legisla tive Appropriation bill. There was no gen eral debate, and the bill was immediately read by paragraphs tor amendments. Mr. Gibson moved to strike out the clause which prohibits removal of House messen gers cn the soldiers' roll, except for cause stated. He did so, he said, for the reason that he as opposed to making a privileged class of cilice-holders.- There were good Democratic soldiers who could fill the positions acceptably, and he ccnld see no reason why Republicans should be foisted into positions under a Democratic Adminitt'aticn. Mr. Holman oppos?d the motion. No man, Republican or Democrat, should be t.rmitted to leave th8 solcierä' roll with nil consent. Mr. Cannon thought the provision in the bill was necsssary, und he would vote to re tain it Tfce amendment was ruled out on point of cicer. Mr. White, of Kentucky, moved to strike out the paragraph fcr expense? of oflice of tfce Commissioner cf Internal Revenue, aai criticised the iecsnt act'on of ths SecreUry cf the Treasury in extending the bonded 1 ericd in violation of law and in the face of the refusal ot Corcre?3 to legalize eucu ex tfction. Without disputing of tha motion tbe commit: e ruse nd the House took a re ceis until Monday at 10 a. m., having dU ICUd ;f f;:tj ou; o 1C pf s cf Ute bill. AGAIN IN PIUSOV, Itnt Thli Ttine üoath. lotte fdjtorof the Sentinel: Sir The Prison Committee la composed of Chairman Barr and Representatives Frazee, McBrocme, Ilaworth, Glazebrook, Fisher, Maurk of Harrieon, Kreuger and Mojier. Mr, Mcsier, who was frozen or saow-bound while north, of course did not put in aa ap pearance, end the talented son of Hon. D. S. Gcoding, with a few ladies, left !a?t Wednes day on the C:G0p. m. train for JeCTersoaville to iuspect things and peopla in general. Right hzro Tet the committee express their thank3 for the courtesies at the bauds of the eCQcers of the J., M. and I. 11. Ii. and their iplendid manr.geL.ent. We were soon trans ferred from the cold, icy regions of Indianap olis to the warm and balmy atmosphere of Lcuisville, where the committee had made Brranjements to stop, owing to the inconve nience to hotels at JefTersonville. T.oe hotel at Louisville is a hostelry of which tha city may well feel proud, and once under th?. hospitable roof the cj:amitt?e met genuine Sriuthtrn licpia'ity.

The next morn in-; the caut chap'aia was on hand, aud with the !ai in charge lardd ue on he other side of the river (not Jordan but the Ohio) to Jetfersouviile, 7 here the cars stop er.ly a few Etep3 from the prison. When the prison doors closed urcn them at fcr&t the sensation waa rather pe culiar, but in looking around we saw so n r.r.y lamiliar faces our hearts became clm. Aicorg th03 we saw was Hon. H. P. Shaf Lr, who took much pleasure in escorting li e party around, especially the ladies, who appreciated his kind attention. There was al30 cur old friend Major Finney. Al though a Recubl'cin, we have great admiration for htm, tspeciUv when grac ing the table, whore ho flourishes the carvicg knife and ferfc aa though ha was alter a "rtcged reb?.l," nci.vitht3nding pravy bowl-; and s"o!lopfd oyster?. 1.1 com j.ottd.

How cculd they lesist. when he vtf.sso e.itreiv?ly enteiiainiug. Every sec CTid Tuesday in the month being inspection day for the Director.-1, trade it very pleas int for the cornmittee. There w?.? some wni?p?r about tho Ccliectorf,Mp of I otcrnal Revenue beir s bf stowed on thü geutieruia. It is a v.'ice suggestion tfce riirh; m.u In the r'got p!&c?. We met cur young fri?nd. Dr. Jesse McOlure, eon cf the Senator, -jrho is very much tliCTjßht cf by the convicts. He is t?ntle and; kir:d in his manner toward theas poor utfertunate o::e3 in hta care. Lie 13 mct undoubtedly entitled loa hher s??.t, and we hope he will yet ba surgeon of this prison. Thcra ara now coahnsd in ths hos pital four sick with consumption. on8 or two eoou to die. Tbe hospital is iu a fearful pJ8ce; the noise from tho machine shop?, the heat from the boilers and washrooms are stifiicg, and with all th care possi ble can i.ct render their Bufferings leso. These that are thera now in th&ir desolate home are not devoid cf hoarts or insensible to feeling. They have a soul ta save. Lifa is sweet evtu to the greatest criminal. Charity i3 needed here as well and mors really than in places nearer tha capitit. Why can not the Legislature contribute money here, and saon ? ThU i3 a benevolent institution, ar.d one that should be attended toatorca. There is r.ecd of more shoes. Just think of nearly ;0O men in thee ehops. They cover now roven acres, acd turn out C50 pairs J)f boots and thecs daily, and yet how mi'y mere can supply the demands of the out side world if the chance wai cnly given. The work cons in the machine shopj 13 very fine, aud the men scc-m contented, and work with an 8 im. New walls around the prisD.n are badly needed. It is a great temptation to e?C3poas they ere now. This is eu old, old prison. Tbe walls are shattering, and if a severe wind storm should com m m'ght be t rotable during the month of March, and cn the river, too, where they could hive full sway, away coes bsnda;; and porhap?, too, for all. Tue convicts complain very little of their Ireatment. They coo d not say o her wise, for their Koks would de&y it. und the marapers couid do no more. The most touching sight i?t -sve them eating, 63 or derly as can be. Then you can watch th?ir countecancts, and how neatly their hair ;nd whisiers wer8 combed. No ;haved heeds arccng them as one hes been taught to believe, acd many exceedingly handeorae ard cf lino build. For r&tions they daily ccESume CC0 pounds of meat, eight bushels potatoes, seventy-five loaves of bread and 1C0 pallcns of beans, and, by the way, we indrjpfd in their lunch, and we foun'd the eoup just delicious. Tha men return to their cells at 4 p. ia aud remain until mcrnir g The meat is very tender in qual ity, ano they are given a pretty good allow ance. Their bill of fare for dinner wai eoup, ccrnbrced, splendid meat, beet3 and pota toes; if tbey could not eat all at taole they were allowed to carry away, as their worK scmetimee ca'kd for" it sooner or later. Their clothing, striped according to cus tom, wa? of aspleudid qua'iry and warm; t!:e jai'ts and coats wtra widü stripe, ami the shirts end hats ci the narrow and be coming fo most of tbam, ver clem in per sonal apj earance cf cdutso Tccsä employed iu machine eeods were an exc?ptloa, j6t tbey were much clraner than a groat many I have seen in Indianapolis. Captain How ard's Conpin has had charge of the dress making, washing and drying department I believe, fcr ttn years. Thi3 depirtment i3 a wonder in it-elf. The en cine-room is the neat est cf all. as there was nothing but the t-rpice ard the colored man that keeps the trsgine in order; and he just prides himself on having it polished until it glistens, and the floor is clean and nics as one could wish. De is a life convict killed his wife, ha sajs. He has learned a sad lesion, by experience; iut it comes too late. There is a sad case of father and son. They are Jews, from Rush County, and formerly of good standing; but in an evil hour committed murder, and are now servins life Bentercss. The eon says he wocld wi'licgly exchange places with hia father. One man. who b.33 been confined for eighteen years, has appealed in vain to Governor Porter. His mind is affected very much. There ara four lunatics, but they ran be managed by their careful watchmen. The chapel needs considerable attention. The walls we not plaatered and it Is a cold, chser lees place for the words of God. to be uttered. Nearly all the convicts attend at their own discretion. There is an organ, and as they are of a musical turn, it has an agree able effect on them. It ought to be a haven of Test. It sr ems iuore like a barn very difficult to rrst the voice cn those trying to preach cr hsr. The library is well cared for, but there is great need of books; indeed, r literature of every kind that will be pro- ductire of g:od. Many of the meu have considerable intellect, and from their eelec tiens you can soon tell the drift cf their knowledge. Tfcis is a eource of great enjoy ment, and their great desire i for more bcoks. The librarian is n eld lffe convict, whese name ia Martin. Yst so kind and at tentive to your want we can scarcely reilize the situation, and we hope ye: he may breathe hia last out in God'a. own beautiful wnrld. I Rev L. F. Cain is a man well fittel f jt his Jtcrei task. To ta'k to niui ou ordinary subjects he is simply a man, but when Inter feted about those, souls in his keeping then yoa tee a man of God his greatest desire is in tbe completion of the chapel, his heart is there and his work is to instruct these men ehut out from the world to 1 repare to meet their God. Fcr all the other roacas;er3 and gaards we have the kindest thoiints their actions speak louder than words and all commend them to these higher in authority than we. To tbe Deputy and wifa, we know them to be l?.rC, whole-EorJed people and ho:? to meet eeain and return the compliment for tbeir kind attention.

The C"iirpin of the House Committer is a shrewd, far eeeirg man, and if .uch men were more largely represented there would not be so many calla lor appropriations. Us 'm striotly business, and, to use hü own expression, don't want any monkeying around. The ladies are convinced of that. Rv. Frazee looked rather sedate, but is full of fun. Mr. Knieper po3e;s-s mor wit than an average Irishman. Ae fcr Dr. Glezebrok, his yarns are wonderfully entertaining. Chess. ltather Surprising.
