A motion by Mr. Edmunds to sti spend morning business . nnd consido r the Utah polygamy bill was lost 24 nyes , 39 nays. Mr. Saundera , from the committee onlndiin ntfaira , reported favorably the bill to amend thu act providing for the , stitp of the remainder of the rosorvatto'ii of the oonfudoratod Otoo and Missouri tribes in Nebraska and Kuisaa ; the main provision is Mint the proceeds of the salu after the payment of incidental expenses bo placed to the credit of the tribes in the United States treasury and bear 5 per cent interest per annum , thu income to be annually expended for their benefit. At 2:50 : p. m , , the privileged morn ing business having been finished , the calendar became the regular order of business under the Anthony rule un til 5:30 : o'clock. Mr. Vance made a speech on th o tariff commission bill. Ho declared that protection retarded thu gr owth of the south and slid protection was the legislation of Dick Turpin and Sixteau Stringed Jack levied on the balls of congress instead of on Black Heath Common. Mr. Vance spoke until 4:30. : ' Mr. Edmunds called for the yeas and nays on'a motion .to go into exec utive session , staling that ho wanted to again test thu sentiment of the sen ate in togard to the iiumodiuto consid eration of the Utah bill. The mo tion was lost by a vote of 18 to 29. The polygamy bill was then called up nnd given precedence of ether business. Mr.'Edmunds referred to the importance of the measure und said ho would ask the senate to dis pose of it to-morrow. Adjourned at 4:40 : p. m. PKOCKEDINOH IN TI1K HOUSE. The judiciary committee reported favorably - vorably un the substitute for the bill prohibiting polygumists holding oftl es iu territories. A communication was received frorn the postmaster general regarding mail weighing on the railways between Now York and Chicago. The bill was favorably reported making Denver a post delivery. The committee on postofficcs re ported favorably the bill making the salary of auxiliary letter carriers from $400 to $000 per year , substitutes from $800 to 81,000. The committee on foreign affairs re ported back with recommendation to lay on the table resolution calling on the president for all correspondence with England in relation to the im prisonment of P. H. O'Connor and others now in Irish jails. Mr. Cox moved a substitute asking the president to request from them a speedy trial. The speaker decided the substitute out of order as not ger mane. Mr. Robinson ( N. Y. ) , who haa boon for a long time desiring to got in a speech on the subject , got thu floor and proceeded to urge that the reso lution should be adoptud. He had been , ho said , opposed in all efforts for a free expression on the subject. NotxiMy had been so earnest in oppos ing as the gentleman from New Jer sey ( Mr. Robeson ) . The gentleman hud taken occasion to fling anathe mas , curses and maledictions upon the subject. He has taken occasion to oppose this movement in all its steps. "Upon what moat do -those our CHI jars feeds ? " God for give the gentleman for his unwillingness - ness to see these sufferers succored. If ho wore to-day in the place of O'Connor and Howe in British pris ons , the house would not bo so troubled with his objections. Ho has even refused mo one minute in order to finish my speech that I might not go before the country in a ridiculous manner , I have been hold down and sat upon in u manner both unkind and L uncourtoouB. The gentleman haH i found time ( to give attention to the long-haired tuathetio representative of f the Irish race with his sunflowers and 1 .knee .brooches and-buckles , but has no time to devote to suffering Americans in British prisons. Those mon should be rescued by what moans soever tnut .may offor. Is there ( addressing the reporter's gallery ) any coward there controlling a pen who will say we could .iot rescue thorn even by force if necessary ? Oh , for a Webster or a Clay to rise from his tomb and 1 loll you our duty and to reply to the vituperations with which I have been asnuled with the fierceness of the blood hound , mingled with the filth of the polecat. Why , tlio gentleman from New Jersey has oven dared to toll mo that I did not know the precepts - copts of law. The fact is , I was his teacher when u boy. A very dull 1 boy ho was , too. [ Laughter , ] Mr , Robeson replied ho was ashamed 1 of being the target of every crank who desired to delay legislation in order to make political buncombu , His objec tion had always boon interposed to eave the gentleman from an exhibition tion of folly or obstruction of busi new. The gentleman complains thai -ho has boon sat upon. I am sure I never sat upon him. I re strained myself because I knew his wind cauio without prossi sure. [ Prolonged Inutzhter ] His atthcks have been not only fnohidi but mot'dacious. ' Thu gentlemen never taught mo anything , Porhapi I mny in my younger days , when studying law , have looked through n window and seen him drinking nt n bar , but I did not accept him MS tenchor. Ho professes to bo n fiiond to thu Irish , There is Irish blood in my veins. I believe thnt ho who would hinm'lt be free must strike the blow. During the debate which followed n sharp passage occurred but ween Messrs. Randall and Robeson. Mr. Randall had made a point of order that the ruling of the speaker was not correct. Mr. Roboson attempted to speak , when Mr. Randall ngtun inter posed his objections in n point of or- dor. "Oh , " said Mr. Roboson , with n show of impatience , "tho gentleman is not speaker of the house , now. " "No , said Mr. Randall , advancing to the front , "but I am n member of this house , nnd a member in good standing , too , and I propose to hold on to my right as suclu"j After further discussion Mr. Orth stated several tnombora'-of the com- mittcu having no recollection of having - ing voted on the resolution of inquiry , had developed the fact that action on it was quitu informal under the impression that thu ground was covered by the general resolution already passed. . On this Htatomont ] the resolution was , on motion of Mr. , Cox , rocomt milted with the names of Michael Hart , U. 0. Mahonoy.nud John Mel Enorny added , and an' instruction to the president that ho demand that American citizens in British prisons bu granted speedy and fair trial or immodintu release. A sharp passage occurred between Speaker Kuifer and Mr. Murch dur ing the closing hourof debate. Murch had gained the floor on thu claim that lie desired to make a point of order , but mingled with it so much of argu ment on thu pending question that t.o speaker stopped him nud sharply udinin'ntorud n severe tepropf , saying no man had a right to practice decep tion by taking the iloor on u point of order and making Argument on a pending question. Adjourned at 4:45 : p.m. * fj AMERICANtW10N. : UOllKEHl'ONIIBNOK CONUBKNINO A CON- fJUKSH. WASHINGTON , February 14. Thu president sent to congress to-day thu correspondence relating to thu pro posed congress of r republics of North and South. ' ' Umurica on the 22d of November , next in Washington. Tlio myst important letter transmitted is oue'frum Minis ter Logan to Blainu under date December - comber 1G. Logan aiys he hopes to secure the unanimous co-operation of the countries to which ho is credited , but that the affair must bo managed with discretion , as throe of the five states uro determined to. accomplish thu union of all under1 oho govern ment ; these throe stales at the least , Guatemala , Salvador and Honduras , and perhaps Costa Rica also , consider the invitation as a practical if not in tended defeat of their purposes. Minister Logan says he is not clear as being able to obtain the Genuine co-operation of all the Central Ameri can states but each will probably ulti mately agree to send commissioners ano assume outwardly an appearance f sincere co-operation , while all will irobably send commissioners through natives of c-.x diuney. They may josaibly be instructed to secretly de- eat the ends of the convention as u ueans of restraining thu uggrosivo endency of Mexico in the direction f Central America. The congress , vould bu attended by the happiest results should a full agreement bu reached , but as the Central American states are now in a chaotic condition , ) olitically considered , with their fu- ure status wholly unfixed , it now ap- teura through thu operations of milt- ary forces that hopes of a federal union in Central America would bu crushed iu the immediate present. Of other Kttors included in thu cor- espoiidonce is one from Venezuela , accepting the invitation with grati- uao , and one from Mexico , of u non committal character. CAPITAL NOTES.

Senator Merrill , chairman of the j- nance committee , has received a let- or from Secretary Folgor in regard to enator Bock's bill to prevent over- urtitication of checks by officers of ational banksin , which the secretary itys that certilic.ttion of checks is ,0110 to a liri'o ; extent by persons .counted in the bill. Thery is no oubt , if that certification is in viola- ion of the statutes , there is a noces- ity for the bill. It will bu found , uwover , that it is done tniilor such > rrangeiiiunta us aru dounuid by thu nnd their counsel to bring thu ct of certification into'harmony with " 10 letter of the statute. If that bo rue , then the bare enactment by con- ; rcs3 that will declare violation of thu itntute shall bu a misdemeanor would ot bring any practical result , nnd hero is no present necessity for thu of it. I apprehend : tlio bill .vill not effect the object of thu onorablo senator who framed and in- ruduced it. Thu question will still emain after the passage of the bill : \ro the practices of the banks willful iolations of the statutes ? This will o a question for a jury under a rui ng of trial by court , nnd it is easy to 'oresoe thnt not much will bo effect- id. In mv judgment tliuru should bo uquiry into some arrangements iy and under which certifications ro effected , and if these arrange- lents and acts of certification under lein aru looked upon us responsible , bill should bo framed that will do ne what particular thiuca should bu eenied and declared misdemeanors.
