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.

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.

Senator Merrill , chairman of the

urtitication of checks by officers of

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.
