WASHIJJOTON , January 19. Mr.
Carlisle succeeded in securing an eve
ning session to-morrow for the con
sideration of the senate bills on the
private calendar. There are about
eighty of such bills.
After a long discussion and at-
tompvci amendment , the naval appro-
priaticu bill was finally repotted to
the housa without amendment , and
passed.
Seven of the appropriation bills
have now pi 3od the house of repre
sentative * . The fortification bill is
still in the senate , as are also the
pension bill mid Indian bill. The
consular bill is in conference. The
army aud military academy bills have
been returned from the senate with
amendment ) . The naval bill will go
lo the senate to-mou-ow. The post-
office hill was reported to-day , and
rccnnimittc3 , although some changes
are yet to bo made in it by the appro
priation committee. Other billa to be
reported are the legislative , the Dis
trict of Columbia , thu river aud har
bor , the deficienrr aiid the agricul
tural bill.
The contested case of Boynton vs.
Loring , from the Sixth diitrict of
Massachusetts , then came up. All
of the members of the committee on
elections , except Mr. Weaver , report
ed in favor of Mr. Loring retaining
his seat.Mr. . Weaver reports in favor
of Boyuton. It was agreed that the
discussion should be confined to two
hours aud a half. Mr. Loring was
tlrat assigned to the fl ) or , and occu
pied an hour and a half. His f paech
w s a learned production in delcuce
of the policy that Massachusetts hi.-l
pursued with regard to educatita
and suffrage , but it had no bearing on
the cause under consideration. The
history of Massachusetts was reviewed
and the state and people were highly
eulogized.
Mr. Weaver obtained the floor , but
pending further discussion the house
at 4:35 : p. 111. took niecess until 7:30 :
p. m. The evening seEsljn was de
voted exclusively to bueincja reported
from the District of Columbia com
mittee.
SENATE ,
The chair laid before the senate R
communication from the secretary of
state relating to the Stevens collection
of Franklin paper * , now offered for
ealo in London. Referred to the li
brary committee.
Mr. Conkling called up his resolu
tion calling on the secretary of the in
terior for information in relation to
the organization of the census bureau ,
and it was agreed to.
Mr. McDonald called up a resolu
tion submitted by him in February
laet , for a standing committee on wo
man's rights , and briefly advocated its
adoption.
Mr. Conkling asked if the senator
from Indiana proposed to raise a per' '
manent committee to take its place on
the list of standing committees. He
had supposed from tha senator's well
known ardor for the cause that ho had
expected the petitions would be
crantcd , and the wliole thing ended.
Ho hoped the resolution would bo
modified eo as to provide for a eclect
committee , so that when the sun went
down on the last day of the session ' i
resolution might be reached [ S1L . ci
applause from ladies in the gallery ] ,
Mr. McDonald said the senator had
misunderstood his objection. He had
no desire to postpone relief to the fu
ture. Ho simply proposed that on
behalf of the citizens of the United
States they should have an organ a
tribunal to which they could apply in
matters pertaining to legislation. As
long aa the human family lasts there
irould ho rights of women to bo con
sidered. b
A bill to provide fortho attachment a
land to Indiana on the various aP
reservations , and to extend the pro P
tection of the laws of the states and Isi
Isivi
territories over the Indians , and for vi
Mher purposes , came up as the regu- tli
ar order. Mr Coke advocated the bill ,
tnd said it had the support of the sec
retary of the interior , the committee A
n Indian atlairs and every man con- 6t
lected < with the administration of la- in
lian affairs , as well as the Indians inFi
.hemselves. CO :
Mr. Vest moved an amendment of CO
.he seventh section , which exempts ap
he entire Indian Territory from the aput
Derations of the bill , limiting exemp-
ion to the five civilized nations. He ca
irged that it was impossible to civil-
the Indians while they were no- DC
nads , and he desired the provisions of DCm
he bill to apply to the thirty-five de
ribes or bands that had been located CO
that territory.
Mr. Teller argoed that there JTSS . !
understanding of Indian character .61 '
congress and elsewhere , that all In- 'n
liaus ; were considered alike , whereas the
here were civilized and savase , good e
nd bad Indians. When the Ute bill ca
car
res before the senate he had endeav- > r
ired to show this difference , and la- )0
lored for the interests of both whites ca
nd Indians. But on the roll call ; h
here were but sixteen senators who
oted with him. Ho said he could se- pu
iure a kind of treaty with the Indians
pursuing the policy of the govern- ch
nent and corrupting a few of them. an
Chore is not a wild Indian who
cnows what a fee simple is. He ui
vould admit that when an Indhn of
akes land In severally you have got rei
but he must be a civilized Inqn [
lian before he will take land in that
and stand upon it. He denounc foi
the bill as sentimental and non ap
sensical , and capable of doing no cu
oed and liable to domuch harm.
Mr. Coke suggested Mr. Teller in
he position of the juror who found pr
the eleven contumacious , and in the
onrse of his remarks paid a flatter br
compliment to the Indian policy ale
inder its present administration.
Mr. Morgan criticized the course of ex
he government in regard to the In-
lians as a decided failure , and ob- .
ected to the bill on account of its of
' general application , where such a dl-
V "Bity of charter and interests exists.
Mr. Hill , of Colorado , favored the
passage of the bill , and in the course
of his remarks defended the. Ute In
dian bill which , ho assorted , had ac
complished all that WES desired with
out finishing the bill.
The senate at 4:15 : p , m. went into
executive session , and when the doors
were opened , adjourned.

Special Correspondence of The Bee.
LINCOLN , Neb. , January 19. The
State , Board of Agriculture met yes
terday afternoon in this city. In
cluding the officers of county societies
there were over ono hundred mem
bers present. From scinning their
facoa and listening to the able di * .
cussion on the subject which the &
gentlemen [ have made a life study , I
venture to eay that a moro intelligent
and manly body of men could not
have been mustered in tbe Mate. At-
tur the usual preliminaries , the elec
tion of officers took
place , which wai
bitterly contested. The following is
the result ;
President J. T. Clarkson , of
Schuyler.
Vice-Presidents G. W. E Dorsey
and Ed. McTntyre.
Secretary J. C. fllcBride.
Treasurer C. Hariman.
The meeting then adjourned unti
9 o'clock thia morning.
Reports of committees was the firs' '
business transacted in the morning
session.
A motion to amend the by-laws in
creasing the treasurer's salary to § 25 (
was carried.
On motion Messrs. Moses Stocking
K. W. Furnas and J. S. Morton wore
made life members.
Judge Kinney , of Otoo county , pro
tei ith < ) following resolutions :
WHEREAS , It has become an ac
cepted fact that representative men in
the western and eastern states as
also state and county agricultural so
ciotles and agricultural and horticultnr-
alpaper influenced by the eminent fit
ness of ex Gov. Robert Furnas for
the office of commissioner of agricul
ture , are , of their own volition , bring
g his name promino'tly before the
country for that office ; and
WHEREAS , The west is vitally in
terested in having at the head of the
agricultural bureau a practical man ,
who is thoroughly familiar with its
needs , adaptability , resources and
progress ; and
WHEREAS , Gov. Furnas , having re
sided in the west all his life , and for
the past twenty-five years in Nebraska ,
tind for over twenty years has been an
active and valuable member of this
board ( , ani could bring to the bureau
ripe experience such as few men
possess , not only as a scientific aud
practical agriculturist and horticultur
, but as a gentleman of catholic
riews , and familiar with the necessi
ties of the people and the growing
irants of the country ; therefore
llesolved , By the State Board of
Agriculture and Horticulture for the
state of Nebraska , at this its annual a
neeting , that ex-Gov. Robert W.
Furnas to an extraordinary degree
ombines all the qualifications for
ommissioner of agriculture , and his nt
appointment would bo but a just tribm
ite to well-deserved merit. ti
Setolrcd , That this board do most th :
sarnestly unite with the efforts now st
ioing made by the state and county fo
oards of our sister states in recomm
nending to our newly elected preslfa
lent Gor. Furnas for the office of tl. ;
iommissloner of agriculture.
Resolved , That the national reputaai
ion ( acquired by Gov. Fiirnas as c n- b
essedly occupying a place in the cl
rent ranks of men renowned for B
heir agricultural and pomological rete
eirches and practical experiences , m
annot fail to recommend him to the bi >
resident as a man worthy of the ap- in
lointment , an appointment which
iannot : fail to be well received
hrouehont the entire country.
Resolrcd , That in private , social and
lublic life Robert W. Fnrnas has es-
abliahed for himself an impeachable
iharactcr , and won the admiration
nd friendship of ail classes of people- .
Rcsolttd , That R copy of these reso- wivl
utions be forwarded by the secretary vlvl
this board to our senators and rep- vlal
esentative in congress with the re- io
neat that they place them before th j wi
resident , and earnestly use their ef-
orts to secure for Gov. Furnas the an
.ppointment of commissioner of agri dean so
culture.
Carried by a unanimous vote. an
The following resolution was then
iresented by Mr. Abbey :
WHEREAS , The legislature of No-
iraska has generously appropriated to
tha State Board of Agriculture in
laying premiums aud other legitimate low
ocpensea ; and , w
WHEREAS , After paying all claims nc
.gainst the board , there is a surplus ar
619.75 on hand , a sufficient or
amount , with judicious management ,
to meet all liabilities that may here
after accrue , therefore be it
Resolved , That the president and
secretary of this board are hereby in
structed to notify tha legislature now
In session , that no further appropria
tion of public money is asked for the
aid of the board.
This resolution was warmly Opposed
by.sover * ! meuibera of the board.
Mr. Wheeler sai 'tnatj although
thers was1 a surplus in the treasury , a
week of unfavorable weather during
the next fair would throw them on
their backs again. The state had not
been aa liberal with ib appropriations
as hail cthr states for thia object , es-
I partially Kansas , which considered
" ? 50,000 not too much. A great deal
of this sum , however , had been de
void to printed statistics and docu
ments , which had beou circulated to
induce immigration into Kansas. Ho
thought it very unwise to adopt the
resolution , and moved that ii be de
stroyed and omitted from the min
utes , tarried.
A resolution presentsd by C. H
" \ \ alkor , to ask the legislature to aid
the State Board of Agriculture of Ne
braska in making a creditable display
at the world's fair , uas amended by
Judge Ivinney as follows *
Hcsolml , Tnat a committee of three
be appointed by this board , to aid the
commissioners in securing the neces
sary legislation to have Nebraska
properly represented at the world's
fair 1883 and that such committee bo
the accredited pjjetita to thn world's
fairai representatives from this board.
Adopted.
Tno chair appointed Messrs. C. II
\ \ alker , J. F. Kinuoy and J. C. Me
Bride as such committee.
The premium lists T > < 3io then modi
fied in certain particulars by a vote of
the members.
