tion of the national board , now in ees-
eioii in this city. The delegation con-
shied of Hfejsra. Snow , cf New Vork ,
Parsons , of Detroit , Windsor , of

and Adams , of 13n2alo. They pra-
itci the roeolutiona ndoplcd in Beaten -

ed the views of the board in relation
to the necessity for dck-gationc to.
promote and protect the shipping and
commercial interests of the country.
Mr. Philo Parsonn , of Detroit , made
a statement to nliow the necessity of
reform in the consular and diplomatic
syntom of the countiy. He related
porno interesting circumstances. In
187C ho spent the winter In Egy.pt ,
and ascertained there that the consul-
general , finding h5s salary inadequate
to the support cf his family , actually
acid the consulship for a position nt
Thebes. Ho received $1200. Thta ,
and other facts , rendered it Impossi
ble for the consul-general to have any
influence in behalf of AmcrScon cbm-
merco.

SENATE.
pcclal Dispatch to The Bee.
WASHINGTON , December 1C. The
morning hour business having been
lisposed of , the senate at 12:30 : pro
jected to consider the bills on the cal-
jndar , to which no objections were
nVade.
Among the patitions presented in
he morning hour was ono presented
> y Sir. Hoar , with a highly eulogistic
cndoisement of the signers , from the
American Women's Suffrage associa-
ion , now in session in Washington ,
> raying for the suffrage in the terri-
ories. Referred to the committee on
erritories.
Mr. Burns moved that when the
cnato adjourned to-day it bo to moot
on Monday. .Rejected by a vote of
11 to 31.
Mr. Merrill introduced a bill to fa-
cilitatfl appeals from a decision of the
commissioner of patents. Referred to
be committee on patenia.
Mr. Cameron ( Pa ) Introduced a
nil to authorize the secretary of war
.o change the arms of the National
jiiardof Pennsylvania. Referred to
the committee onmililary.
The senate then proceeded to the
consideration of bills on the calendar ,
: o which no objection was made.
A number of bills of local'Int crest
to the District of Columbia , were con
sidered by the senate , but passed over
without action.
Mr. Maxey introduced a bill author
izing the president to place Gen.
Ord on the retired list with the rank
of major-General , in consideration of
his eminent services. Referred to the
military committee.
The resolution of the house for n
holiday recess was read and referred
to the appropriation committee.
Mr. Eaton was at his request ex
cused from further service of the com
mittee to enquire into the civil service.
The educational bill came up at half
past one o'clock as the regular order.
Mr. Teller moved to strike out that
portion of the Third section , which
provides for the establishment of a
fund , and addressed the semite , urg
ing that the great necessity of the
present day required the annual dis
tribution of the total sum accruing.
He also adrocited nn amount provid
ing for the distribution of the money
according to illiteracy rather than ac-
ciraing to the school population.
Mr. Teller favored the bill as calcula
ted to frea the paonle from sectional
ism , and raise them to a higher
plain
Mr. Vest while
, believing In the ne
cessity fir universal education , did
not believe the education of their pee
pie should ba taken from the state.
He could not vote to give the power
to a subordinate officer of the govern
ment , the cornmiesioner of education ,
to withhold the fund as provided in j
the nlntji section of the bill , after the
state had , through their legislature ,
formally accepted the trust. '
At 3 o'clock Gon. Grant , accompanied -
nied by Generals Logan and Bal , en
tered the senate chamber through the
coat room on the republican sidp. and
were warmly greeted by the senators I
in the vicinity. HU appearance made \
some confusion in the sjuc.to , and
considerable stir ia the galleries , so '
thajt Mr. Vest wag imperfectly heard , '
ud lUAponded his remarks.
Mr. Edmund's said the ex-president
fef the United States was on the floor ,
snd that many senators desired to pay
their respects after his long absence
from the country. He moved a re
cess of ton minutes , which waa agreed
to. The senators then passed over
and greetud the distinguished vieitc r.
This ceremony over , Mr Vest re
sume J hia rermrka in opposition of a
feature of the bill indicated.
Mr. Eaton suggested a lower rate of
interest than 4 per cant , could be
obtained by the government.
Mr. Hill * aid * ordinarily he would
agree with the senator from Connecti
cut , but in this case , where the inter
est wai paid for the benefit of the
people , ho would vote for even a high
er rate of interest. The argument
that the bill interfered with the right
of slates was wrong. On the con
trary , it recognlzd theiightj of states
In placing the funds at thci" di pi al ,
being a donation from the goner.il
fjovcrhment. It had a right to pro
scribe the terms oa whica it should
be naed , and his argument would bo
derelict if it failed to protiflo agaimt
misapplication.
Mr. Maxov agreed lhat the colored
people who were freed from slavery by
the war , wore noccs'arily poor and un
educated. That their education wi
essential to the perpetuity of repub
lican institutions , and that Ina much
e * they were citizens , with all the
rights of citizenship , by the federal
government , It was but justice that
the government should Assist in their
education.
Mr. Morgan allocated the incor
poration in the bill of pn nmendatoiy
clause to the act of 1SG2 ; for the
endowment of agricultural collegci ,
making the admission of women to
these schools compulsory , and intbi
course of his remarks stated thot in
fourteen of the thirty-eight state ? ,
women were excluded from foui teen
of these schools , owing to doubt a-id
uncsrUinty as to the constitutionality
of the ait ,
Mr. Morrell closed the debate with
an appeal to the sena'o to vote for
the bill substantially ai rcprrtru.
Mr. Wallace moved to go into ex
ecutive session , but the motion was
opposed by friends of the bi'l ' , who
insisted a vote could be taken aa un-
underatood yesterday , when it wa"j
agreed thai a vote sbou'd be takqa at ,
4 o'clock to'-dpy.
Mr. Koair Contended that because
Sir. Morgan had exceeded the time
half an hour , the senators were not
relieved of their obligations.
A1 r. Elaine urged n faithful adher
ence to the egreemonta made by the
senate. The iuotion tb go Into ex
ecutive session , was voted down.
Ir. UUrnside , Tvho had "charge of
trlebill , said the agreement wo3 made
by unanimous consent , * nd if any sen
ator dealred to aosak on the bill he
would ask the unanimous consent to
postpone it until half past 2 o'clock
to-morrow.
Mr. Edmunds , who was absent
when the former agreement wss made ,
was opposed to the proposition on
the ground that no senator should feel
that hia mouth was closed when he
conceived it his duty to speak. Cir-
jumstanees might arise or amendments
be offered on which ho might feel it
nil duty to speak. Ho did not intend ,
unless upon very exceptional caiesto
bind himself by iny such agreement.
After half an hour spent in fruit-
leas efforts to reach an agreement , as
to when a vote should bo taken , Mr.
Burnslde moved to adjourn , giving
notice that he would ask the friends
of the bill to stand by him until the
bill was disposed of.
Senate at 5 p. m. adjourned.
HOUSE.
As soon as the journal had been
'
rea'd to-day , Mr. F. Wood , by direc
tion of the ways and moans commit
tee , offered a resolution for a recess
from Wednesday December 2' , to
Tuesday Jauuary 4. The resolution
wai adversely received by a large
number of gentlemen who said there
was no necessity for a recess , and that
the public business demanded that
congress should remain in session.
On a vote by letter , there were 101
votes in the affirmative and 4G in the
negative , whereupon the yeas and
naya were demanded , which rosnlted
in the adoption of the resolution by a
vote of 125 to 74.
The consideration nf the pension
appropriatlonbill to-day led to spirited
political Jlscnssion , all growing out of
the question of which party should
have the credit of originating and
passing the arrearage pension bill.
This has been a question in campaigns
for the past two years , democrats and
republicans both chiming it. There
vas really no occasion to bricg the
question up on a bill appropriating
money , but it afforded an opp.ortum
ty to do so , which was eagerly avail
ed of.
of.Mr.
Mr. Hubbell , of Michigan , who had
charge of the bill , explained that it
appropriated $50,000,000. The sum
appropriated for the current fiscal
year was § 32,404,000 , but as there
was a deficiency of 57,500,000 , which
would have to be mer , and as the sum
required for the next year would not
be less , the committee thought it best
to report the full amount at once. Mr.
Hubbell then proceeded to give some
startling figures PS to the amounts re
quired to pay pensions. He disclaim
ed any hostility to the nrresrs bill ,
but felt bound to eive the facts. Up
to November 4,1830 , the sum of over
thirty-four million dollars had b en
paid out under the arrears act. The
average sum paid to each pensioner
was ? 508. There are still 281,981
claims for arrears to be considered ,
and the average arrears in each case
will be SHOO. Supposing that 30 per
cent of these claims be disallowed ,
there still will remain 197,818 claims
for arrears to be paid which , at an n -
erge of § 1100 , will amount to 8217-
599,800 , which , with the amounts
paid , will make the arrears cist in all ,
the sum of § 242,287,000. The aver
age annualjpayments , after the first
payment , is § 103.64. The average
life of a pensioner is sixty one yeare ,
so that for yeira an annual appropri
ation cf § 46,400,418 will be required.
In view of the vast f urns tint are ex
pended by the pension office , it ia
worthy of the most serious consideration -
tion of congress whether a greate ?
safeguard should not bo thrown
around our system of .payments. He
asserted that undrr our present sys
tem , out of § 50,000,00apjid , t least
? 4OOO.COO was p idupon fraudulent
claims ,
Mr. Sparks , of Illinois , spoke of the
arrears of the pension act as a meas
ure of justice to soldier ? , for it equal
ized the amounts received by. all in
like classes. He ppoke of 'he law an
having c.uv.a from the committee
on invalid pensions in the last con-
ftreas , ofwhich General Rico , of Ohio ,
had been chairmaiu , whereupon Mr.
Fort , of Illinois , corrected hii a , Mid
eald the bill waO jased } at the instance
oi Mr. Oumminga , of Iowa.
Mr. Haskell , of Kansas , hero inter
posed. He t. o w-3 entitled to some
cr.dit became while it wn true Mr.
Guiiminga Hd-offc-si the nil ! , it was
psssei under a i.cp 33ion of the rules
on his motion. _ _
Mr. Sparks said Mr. HJcn'a" bill was
aubstautuilly the bill whiih became iv
IAW , and intimated that Mr. Haskell
was trying to secure the cicdit for
what Mr. Ric s done.
Mr. Ha ke ! ! denied that the Rico
bill was EUbstitidlly like thb one
which hr.d becoirfa a law. Ho denied ,
also , that ho wz.3 infringing upon some
patent right of Mr. Rico's bill , which
proposed to restore to the | ension
roll * names of those who were dropped
from them for disloyalty. He went
on to ssy that Ri e'a bill wan an at
tempt to citch union men in u trap by
getting thorn to put disloyal soldiers
side by side with loyal ones on the
pension rolls ,
. Mr * Sparks in reply denied Mr.
R'cs'a bill or any part of it waa intend-
cl to ponriou disloyal persons. It
only proposed to restore to the rol'i '
the immeH of men and the widows o
wen who had borne the 11-g on a
hundred fields In the war of
1812. Tha idea dial General
Rco would attempt by a trup to
catch union men , ho regarded as prep -
p idterous. He referred to Rico as
hobbling into te house on a wooden
lej ? , havug left n leg on the battle
field in tno cr-u s o the union. Ho
would put TU'-Vs liyalty and patriot
ism , ihron'ng ! < i nis wooden leg ,
against thnt of Mr. Haskell. The
country > - \ rr I eiiouah of this sort
of clap- p. 1 he bill w 3 then road
o i the amendau-nr , and on motion of
Mr. Keifer.ho proviso was stricken
out , which limit' to olio dollar the
foa to bo p-.ld examining surgeons for
examing each ai/p'icsnt ' for pension ,
Mr. Coffroth orferod an additional
section to extend to July 1 , 1S82 , the
tune for the fiTngof clilms for arrears
of pensions under the existing law.
The tima ia limited to July , ! , 1881.
Tha proposition WPS ruled out on a
point of order , and Coffroth gave no
tice that lie would offer it on some
Monday and move to suspend thj
rules and pass it ,
Tno c ilnmitteo of the whole then
arose , and the bill as amended on Mr.
Keifer's motion reported to the house
and phased.
ALer the pennon bill had bson dis
posed af 'a the hUt3 tp-dayund after
a few bilh had Leen introduced by
unanimous concent , it was whispered ,
about that Gy. 0 Aut was about'to
bniertho hall , ? 'id ! n moment he
appeirad at the north door , accom
panied by representative Fort , of Illi
nois. Some ono had made a motion
to adjourn , but the speaker took no
notice of it , but rcaognizjd Mr. Fort ,
who'moved a raccis of ton minutes
in order that the membara might bo
presented to the ox-prcsidcnt.
Special Dispatch to The lie * .
A joint resolution has been prepar
ed , and will in a few days be intro
duced in both houses of congress , pro
viding for the appointment of special
comnritko to take testimony and in
vestigate the methods which have
been used in New York during the
last four or five weeks to manipulate
the money market by enforcing arbi
