House of Re presentatives, taken from the Congressional Globe, will be found to be extremely in teresting: CHARLES G. rAGE. Mr. Myers, from the Committee on Patents, reported, tyitto; recommendation that the .same do pass,, a bill (H. R. No. .731) to au thoriito Charles OVafton,Page to, apply for and repeiye a patent; which .was ,! read ? a first ana second time. . ■ .... . The question was upon ordering the Dili to be engrossed and read a third time. The bill was read at length. It autho rises the Commissioner of Patents to receive, and entertain a renewal of the application ot Charles Grafton Page, for letters patent for his induction apparatus and circuit breakers, now on-file in the United States' Patent Office, including therewith his'teircuit breakers de scribed bybim prior to said application and if the Commissioner shall, adjudge said Page to he the firstlnventor thereof he shaU issue a patent to himi which shall be vahd, not withstanding said Page’s invention may have been described or in use prior to said tion, and notwithstanding the fact that saia Pageds now an examiner in the Unitea States Patent Office; provided, .that any per son in possession of said apparatus prior to the date of said patent shall possess the right to use and vend to others to use the saw spe cific apparatus in his possession, Without lia bility to the inventor or patentee, or any other person interested in said invention or patent therefor. Mr Myers. Mr. Speaker, accompanying the bill which has just been read there is a very full report, with ample references to authorities and the evidence taken by the Committee, and with drawings also ot the invention in question. But, as this report covers seven closely printed pages, I do not propose to have any portion of it read, unless, Rafter the statement I am about to make, the reading should be demanded by the House. Mr. Washbume (111. ) I desire to have the report read. , ■ . Mr. Myers. Very well. I desire to make my statement first; and I think after that statement my friend will withdraw the de mand. I will state as briefly as may be, m order to avoid consumption of time in read . ing the report, the reasons why the Commit tee oil Patents unanimously favor the mea sure which has been reported. The bill is to protect the rights of an Amer ican inventor against the claims to originality unjtmtly and mistakenly awarded to a for eigner by the high authority of a foreign Power. It allows Dr. Charles G. Page, formerly of Salem", Massachusetts, and for many years an examiner in the Patent Office, to apply for and receive a patent for his in- Ouciion coil, if -the Commissioner of Fat ents shall adjudge him to be the first inventor j of it; that is all. On its face the bill is a private one; but its passage, espe cially at this time, should be a matter of national pride, as it will be of national interest. , 1 ’ ! Dr. Page was the first to develop and ap ply the principles of inductive electricity in a practical workingmachine for the production of effects of the greatest value in a medical and scientific point of view. No one before him had suggested its embodiment in a den nite form, aa a remedy or tor philosophical i illustration. The particulars of this scientific j invention would scarcely be interesting at the | present time, and are not necessary for the | pui poses of this bill. A statement ot the case will be sufficient. It is, however, well to mention here, in order that it may go upon ihe record, that the invention ot Dr. Page embraces three' elements never before brought into connec tion and practice. The first is the compound magnet or bundle of wires, to augment, the intensity of the induced current of electricity by the magnetization it undergoes. The second consists of the separate coils of wire to produce greater insulation between the pri mary coil of coarse wire and the outer or in duction coil of fine wire, from which the spaik is taken and light exhibited. Thirdly, the several mechanical contrivances; first, a rasp; second, the mercury and spur-wheel; third, an interrupter or automatic' vibrating break-piece to interrupt the galvanic current and create the induced current; all known as the induction coil. That is all I propose to say on that point. Many years ago, as early as 1838 -to 1842 Dr; Page exhibited this apparatus in colleges using it for igniting gunpowder, lighting vacuum tubes, charging Leyden jars, and for medical effects. In the year 1852 the empe ror of the French offered a prize, of 50,000 francs to be given after five years to the author of the moßt important discovery and application relating to electricity. Five years elapsed,_and no one was adjudged worthy of this great prize. The time was extended; and in the year 1801 a commission of thirteen scientific men, of whom the celebrated Du mas was president, reported that a man by the name of Rubmkorff was entitled to the piize, being the inventor of what is now known as “the Rubmkorff coil.” Now, Mr. Speaker, the Committee en Patents, after close investigation, find that the Ruhmkorff coil is substantially, identical with, and a copy of, Dr. Page’s invention. Thuß to a foreigner; as I have said, by the high authority of a foreign power,is adjudged the merit of this invention. The identity once established, the importance of the in vention will be best understood when I state the importance which has been ascribed to it in Europe. Dumas and the commission, in their report, say,in speaking of Rubmkorff and his character: “M. Ruhmkorff will ever remain the type of his class, a model for the numerous in telligent workmen who fill the higher order of workshops of Paris. To those who, like him, know how to control their desires and faithfully strive for perfection in work and clearness in conceptions* who behd their attention to one object and labor untiringly until a high superiority is gained and also tor themselves the satisfactions of a ripe age, the compensation for the services and privations of youth will hot he lacking in a country where more than ever merit finds recom pense.” I claim, Mr. Speaker, that this country will he no IeBS eager than France to reward so important a discovery. The report proceeds, and 1 call the attention of the House to this sentence* “Since 1851 M. Ruhmkorfl’ has devoted himßelf to the,construction and'perfection. of hiß apparatus, and he has ended by securing for it his own name,' by giving it a scientific value which no one contests, and by render ing it of so great power as to become a means of numerous practical applications.” This act directs that it 'the Commissioner of Patents finds what the committee report to he true, that Dr. Page is the-real inventor, he is worthy of a patent. Now, in his old age, feeble and in bad health, let him, in declipr-, ing years, receive the national award which, bis discovery deservess at ,our hands, and what has been known as the .Ruhrakorff coil become, as it should, the “Page induction' coil." While we reward merit in„lhis,way and make his name historic we at the same BIJLLETm.-PHILADKfeFHIA, WEP^FSIXAf, IfetZ Y 19 *12j|*g tiihe {vindicate our own\ s natftoality inthd patbs.bfrscience. .

We had hetore us the testimony of the : chief, scientific men of this country who construct this apparatus, and they desire us to give this pateut to Dr. Page, who they say is justly entitled to it. Nor has Dr. Page slept upon his rights; he made application before, but because of his being sn examiner in the Patent Office he was disqualified under, theact.of 183 G, and. the application rejected/ -The invention did .not go into public use “with his knowledge and consent.” '■■■■■ Mr. Upson—l have noticed by the reading of the bill that it is made compulsory on the Commissioner to issud this, patent." Mr. Myers—No, sir. , Mr. Upson—lt says, “shall issue this patent.” . ,■ _ ■ • Mr. Myer3—No, sir. If he finds Dr. Page to be the first inventor, then he is to issue the patent. He is td‘institute an investigation iDto the facts, and if he finds them as the committee report them then he is to issae a patent. ~ „ Mr. Oflllinois—l demand the reading of the report The report was read. Mr. Myers demanded; the previous ques tion. ' The House divided; and there were—ayes C 4, noes 10, no quorum voting. The Speaker ordered tellers; and ap pointed Mr. Myers and Mr. Washburne,of Il linois. The House again divided; and the tellers reported—ayes 86, noes 10. So the previous question was seconded. The main question was then ordered to be PU Tbe bill was ordered to be engrossed and read a third time; and being engrossed, it was accordingly read the third time. _ Mr. Myers—l believe this matter is fully understood. It is a question of national in terest, and I hope there will not be one vote against it. , , , Mr. Washbume, of Illinois, demanded tbe yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were not ordered. The bill was passed. Mr. Myers moved to reconsider the vote by which the bill was passed.; and also moved that the motion to reconsider be laid on the table. The latter motion was agreed to. iiate Temperance Convention nt Har risburg. CONCIXSION OF YESTERDAY’S PROCEEDINGS. Afternoon Session. —The report of the Business Committee was read by the Chan- man. • , , ~ r , AmoDg the resolutions adopted are the lol loping: . . Resolved, That we repeat.our unßhaken confidence in and adherence to the fundamen tal principles of the temperance reform, as stated by the Convention that assembled m Harrisburg on the 20th and 27th days of Feb ruary, 18ii7, viz.: . That the use of any kind of intoxicating drinks, as a beverage, tends to produce habits of in'emperance, and to foster vice 3, crimes and disorders; that the drinking usages of society present a most formidable barrier to the progressof education, religion and true civilization; that, therefore, it is the duty of all ministers, teachers and moralists, to lend their aid to temperance reform by inculcating the practice of total abstinence from intoxi cating drinks; that it is the solemn duty of parents, sabbath-school teachers and minis ter s\o render their utmost aid in preserving ! the youth of the Commonwealth from ! the snares and contaminations of the i di in king ‘custom; that the temperance ! movement is a Christian movement, and we ‘ invoke the increased and continued services i of Christian ministers and Christian profes i sor's; that it is the supply of intoxicating ! liquors that largely creates the demand ; and i to the temptation "offered by the free sale of ! liquors at tavern bars, ; beer saloons and I restaurants is to be traced nine-tenths of the drunkenness, crime, pauperism, insanity and casualties of the country ; that against these ■people should be protected by the arm of the government; that license laws give no pro tection to many, but confer freedom, ap parent morality, and respectability to the ! truffle, and deny protection to many; that it !is the right ‘ and duty of. the people, i in self-defence, by appropriate- legislation, 1 to bring the traffic to an end; that the ■ i whole history of license legislation has j proved impotent to restrain the traffic, or diminish the evils of intemperance in any ! considerable degree; that we can never con sent to aßy stem which shall give the legal sanction of the State to a business so baneful in its tendencies, and so prejudicial to the best interests of the people; thaV prohibitive legislation is the only safe legislation in prin i ciple, and the only legislation which can be ; enforced in practice;; that the failure of the present system, after a century of trial makes it manifest that the timehaß fully come when i all efforts to regulate the traffic should be at i I once and forever abandoned. Resolved, That the present attitude of the temperance cause in this State, and the com bined and unwearied opposition of its adver saries, demand of all friends of temperance decision and unanimity in counsel,energy and efficiency in action; and, as the success of our efforts must result mainly from an enlightened popular sentiment, stronger efforts than ever are demanded to awaken an earnest zeal throughout the State for the cure of the evils the liquor traffic everywhere inflicts. . Resolved, That special efforts should be made.in home circles, in Sabbath and public schools, to instruct the young as to the poisonous and destructive influence of alcoholic liquors upon the human body, mind - and character, even when used in quantities generally regarded as moderate; and that parents and teachers who fail' thus to instruct them will be chargeable with no small share of mischief thoSe, com-- mitted to their care ultimately become vicr Urns of intemperance and vices usually asso ciated with it.' ■ Resolved, That whatever business or trade is injurious :hnd dangerous to the health, comfort or property of individuals or the pub lic, should be absolutely prohibited as a com mon nuisance. This is the indispensable rple of protection which it is the right and duty of every community to adopt; hence, gaming homes,’houses of ill-fame and all business acknowledged U> be injurious to'the public gre prohibited. Traffic in liquor Is an acknoW? jedged evil in its results, and hence should be -prohibited, d ■ , Adjourned to meet at half-past sevbh o’clock P.

Resolved , That it is vam to hope to secure proper legislation, or the execution ot proper laws,unless the friends of temperance shall determine to cast their ballots only for the friends of such legislation, that duty, interest and consistency plainly calls upon terhperance men to use the ballot for temperance—with their political party if they cah, against it if they must. After a lengthy debate on the last resolu tion, it was agreed to order the ope. ation of the previous question, various amendments being voted down. Adjourned to nine o’clock this morning. Tlie Southern Pacific It ui I way—T he I liirty-Flttli Parullel lloiitc, General Palmer, the Treasurer of the Kan sas Pacific Railway, has been exploring a route to the Pacific by the thirty-fifth paral lel of latitude, and writes as follows from Arizona: „ „ “As directed by the President I have or dered the discontinuance of the Gila surveys, being not only satisfied of the practicability of the thirty-fifth parallel, but convinced that, it is the best across the continent. It is rarely that we have been obliged to resort to the maximum grade permitted by Congress. The climate is unexceptional on the mountains— rather uncomfortable from the warmth in this valley; but it will be a little change, for the passengers to eat watermelons at Christmas time. The Mojave Indians are J selling them around the tort now, and I saw some tomatoes getting ripe on perfectly green vines on the river bank yesterday. We shall not be troubled with snow on the San Fran cisco mountain, the highest summit we reach, in my opinion, as much as the Pennsylvania Railroad is in crossing the Alleghanies; and for a summer and late autumn resort, I do not believe there is a finer spot on the conti nent than ‘President’s Park’ at that summit. The fagged out people of the Mississippi Val ley will come up here, 7,-too feet above the ocean, and renew health and spirits by breathing the purest air in the most de lightful climate, amidst the mogt striking mountain scenery probably in America. If they choose to, they can ride five thousand feet higher on the back of a ‘burro,’ to the. summit of the , old volcano, aQd fiad put there, if thev can, where all the lava and ashes came from which are strewn , around. In the Park the grass is very rich, the soil black, and capable of raising almost every thing but corn. The base of "San Francisco mountain is covered with little parks of a similar character, occupying intervals in the at forest of pines. ‘Taking a practical view of the subject, we shall have a large passenger business to this Elysium, and as the road runs for over one hundred miles through, or dose to, this forest, our lumber business, for the.supply of the valleys and mining districts, will proba bly be good. There is another such forest on : Sierra Madre, in New Mexico, this side of , Wingate, but not equal to San Francisco. j “1 have been quite rejoiced at finding such an excellenljdescent to the Colorado Valley. There was tnree thousand feet to come down, 5 but we found a valley leading from the second range back to the river, and turning the south end of the first, or river range, which has an almost uniforna descent for filty miles. For one hundred miles east of this river there is no opportunity of grading,if one ■■■ wanted to, as the surface is gradual, with light grades, except for three or four mile 3, in crossing a divide to reach the Wallapi Val ley, where work something like that at Hir ker will be required, and perhaps the maxi mum grade for four miles. But the one hundred miles should be completed in the first year, as pine timber exists within fifteen miles, on the Wallapi range, for cross-ties, in abundance. Our irom-wfil cost about as much here as it has been doing in Kansas, unless we can reduce it by owning the boats. '*l hope we shall obtain the subsidy next spring. If we do, the completed road can be run over in four years from to-day. It would be sheer laziness that would prevent it. STOVKB ANU HEA'fEKi, REMOVAL.

The amendment was adopted. Mr. Sanlsbwy said/ of conn?, this had nothing to do with the New Hampshire elec tion. He was glad the Senate ■ h«f awakened to a reallzing eensoof the servlces of our soldiers, who had been greatly wronged heretofore in not being allowed W New Hampshire to receive ' each certificates free of expense. The hill was passed. . • - < . . Mr. Momll (Vt.) offered resolutions directing tbe'eoUectJonef books .and documents of the Senate into ,a library, under the direction of the appropriating therefor • certain rooms In the Senate wine of the Capitol.

' On moUon of Mr. Wilson, the bill to provide for a gradual reduction of the military forces and to discontinue certain unnecessary grades therein (heretofore published) was taken up and paFsed. The special order, the resolution to admit Mr. Thomas, Senator elect from Maryland, was taken up. 1 Mr. Johnson (Md.J had the floor to close the debate, but yielded to Mr. Trumbull, who desired to answer some remarks made on his former speech. • -■ -- , Mr. Cattell, from the Committee on Finance, reported adversely the House hill forbidding tho designation as a public depositary of any Na tional'Bank within fifty miles of a place where an Assistant United States Treasurer Is located. , bksatob thomas. _The special order, the resolution to admit Mr. ■ Thomas, Senator elect from Maryland, was taken up. Mr. Johnson, of Maryland, had the floor to close the debate, but yielded to Mr. Tkumrl'll, who desired to answer some remarks made on Ms former speech. In the course of debate he read from the report of the commutes on the subject, to show that they had found nothing against the admission, If not contained in the matter connected with his son; yet Senators baaed their objections on entirely different grounds; some of them members of the committeo who signed that report. The Senate was sitting ’to decide the case under the law and the facie; it was not a n action whether Mr. Thomas had sympathized with the re beli(pn, but whether he was the.regalariy -ouaiiaed teprostMative of the State of Maryland. ' ,?*; (Mr. Trumbull) had not selected him." He re plied to. Hr. Edmonds’ comments on his defense of Mr. Thomas and his son, and hia denunciation of them eatialtors, and said this was not tho place for each denunciation. He (Mr. Tram ball) claimed to be as loyal as any Senator. No had as great an abhor rence of treason aa any one, bnt did that prevent the Senator from Maryland being entitled to hla seat * If that Senator was shown to be a traitor, he could be kept out, but he was to be kopt out not by dodama tion, bnt on proof of tacts in the case. Mr. Trumbull again discussed the various charges against Mr. Thomas. He denied that warexistsdat the time Mr. Thomas resigned, as claimed by Mr Howard. Ifso.it was only on ene side, and he re ferred to the decision of the Bupreme Court in the prize cases, where, he said, no judge claimed that war existed until the. firing on. Fort Sumter; and yet the Senator said flagrant war existed. Mr. Diukr, of Missouri, e&ld it was flagrant enough on one aide. Mr. Tbvuhvll continued, claiming. In the course of hla remark*, that .the act of Mr Thomas in resigning the Treasury Department to General Dlx, in tvhom the country bad rrach confidence as they did not repose in him, was not aiding the enemy but the contrary. He read the statute denning misprision of treason, and argued that to apply to the act of Mr. 11100188 in aiding nla son, the treason most first have been com mitted, bnt the son did not gain the rebel army for a longtime afterwards. Mr Fmer, of Connecticut, interrupted -Mr. Trum beil to describe the conditions of things at the time of that occurrence, and said that if that Senator had a minor eon lurking within the Federal lines with that purpose, and of course acting rcaiiy as a spy, and if he had not then given information to lead to bis axeat.he naa guilty of misprision of treason'and should not be admitted. Mr. Tbumucll supposed the Senator would scarcely vote to keep out every inanwhohadgivensucji aid and comfort aa consisted In full knowledge of fntentlon to join the rebellion without giving information. If that rule prevailed, there wotud be few Senators pres ent here. ’ Mr. Drum: Interrupted to ask Sir. Trumbull to no tice the reasons for the resignation advanced by Mr. Thomas in his letter, rather than those advanced six years alter, and proceeded to quote those reasons, say ing Mr Thomas had resigned forty-eight hours after the reinforcement of Fort Sumter. Mr. Touhbcix supposed that tlio Senator did not agree with every act of Mr. Buchanan, such as the appointment of Peace Commissioners, who promised that Fort Sumter should not be reinforced. Mr. Diiake donbttd whether the Senator would claim that Mr. Thomas resigned on account of sncli acta as that. Mr. Tbumjutli, continued, quoting Mr. Cisco's testi mony in favor of Mr Thomas, and concluded by say ing that he would vote on the ease simply as war ranted by tho teatimoDy. i ■. Messrs. Howard, Stewart and Johnson endeavored simultaneously to get tho flour, hut the Chair recog nized Mr. Johnson, of Man land, who called upon the Clerk to read some remarks he had prepared. They were read, I clpg mainly addressed to the point of constitutional unaliflcatianß, saying the only law on tho subject additional to the Constitution,'was that . requiring an oath,, though, In his: judgment,-Congress bad iio power to pass such a law. Bethought Mr. Thomas was admitted to be a man of high : character, and being willing totuke thatoath.thatfact was con clnßiVe upon Congress. - --?»■'*. After the reading was concluded, Mr. Johnson added a few words in eegardtotheebargeamade against Ur. Thothaß. He thought Mr. Sumner had wholly misapprehended the act of April) 1790, on the subject of treason. The first Section defined treason as levying war against the United States, and Im posed a penajty. The: second defined < misprision of treason as knowledge of such treason; or giving it aid and comfort. To bring Mr. Thomas within that statute it was necessary toprove that when the son left he had committed the crime of treason, and that the Senator, bad he been called upon to frame an indict ment, would have been obliged to set out that that eon had committed treason by levylng war before ho left his father’s house. Mr. Johnson went on to defend.tbe conduct of Mr. Thomas in that condition. If MrzThomas ever had been a secessionist it was unknown to him (Mr. John son), and he did not believe It. He quoted the son's 1 testimony to rebut the charge made by Mr. Morton, that the reason advanced by Mr. Thomas to dissuade his eon from going was that his State had not seceded, and to show that he had told him he should not go because it wonld be fighting against hta government. Certainly no evidence could be shown that Mr. Thomas, while in the Cabinet, participated in the con splracy. He baddißchargod.overy obligation resting upon him. No intimacy had existed between nun and Mr, Cobh, whom he succeeded, aud his subsequent' conduct showed his motives in accepting the ofllco. To shake tho public credit at that, time would have been to destroy the union, and his first act was. on learning that there A 1 * fßPflstp.mset Jtb£ obligationa-maturing Jan i-JZi ! to Mr- Cisco, the Assistant Treasurer, inquiringwhether he could nottise.certain funds for HJ® I™ 1 ?®!!®?* saving the national honor.

In consequence of that " doubt on his integrity Mr. Thomaa resigned, an act for which he honored rather than censured him. Mr. Johnson discussed the letter of resignation holding that Mr. Thomaa- ■ the President e act In collecting revenue on Bblnbbard was justiflahle. In the time otJackson It was not thought that such n power oxtered. When the nullification doctrine of South Carolina gave rise to tho question and special legislation was foahd iiocpißWy.

Gatnric and Attorney-General Speed, loyal : among the loyal, and adjured Senators to deal with I Mr. Thomas as they had dealt with them, f In reply to imputations upon the republican form of government of Maryland by Sr. Mondli, of Maine, in the course of debate, he said hnndreda okthoasands there, aa In ether States, believed, no doUBt sincerely, in • State’s right to secede. Although In that lie be lieved they had been in error; thousands of them In the armies of -the union had proven themselves (It suc cessqrsof those who In 1781, In the battle of Cowpens, by * brilliant charge upon the enemy, snatched victory from rdefeat,: and turned the l fortunes of the day, achieving historical and deathless fame for the Mary land line and its noble leaders. Mr. Stewabt, or Nevada, replying to Mr. Trnmbnll, admltted that he had agreed to the report of the com mittee, bat said that it was a compromise report, and claimed that those who agreed to it could not be charged with inconsistency for taking In the Senate the same view they hid taken In the committee. He then proceeded to contend that It was evident from the facts sbownthatMr. Thomas bad always been in sym pathy with the enemies of the government, and nls toi / warned them to beware of admitting such men to a share in the government, - Mr. Conhesb, of California, moved, at 4:20, to go' into Executive session, saying it was evident that no vote would be reached to-night, as several Senators de sired to speak. Mr. Shebjmh, of Ohio, said that probablyj on such a question, the Senate would sit till six o'clock be fore a vote waa reached, at all events, and hoped they would go on. Mr. AKTHojrr, of Rhode Island, advocated going into Executive session. A motion to adjonm was lost. The motion of Mr. Conness waa lost—l 2 yeas to 23 nays. Mr. Howe, of Wisconsin, said he was as mnch dis posed to speak as any man (ianghtcr), but he did not care to do so if a vote was possible to-night. He would not answer for what he might do to-morrow. [Laughter.] After further discussion relative to the propriety of farther debate, after the formal understanding that Mr. Johnson snonid close it. on motion of Mr. Fes serpen, at -1:10 o'clock the Senate adjourned. Hoi se—Mr. Hubbard (W. Va.), from the Committee on Banking and Currency, reported the joint resolution authorizing the Controller of the Currency, with the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury, to revoke the appointment of receiver for the Farmers’ and Citizens’ National Bank of Williamsburg, N.

Introduced a bill to amend the act establishing National Banks, in reference to voting by proxies, Ac. Referred to Ihe Com mittee on Banking and Currency. Mr. Starkweather (Conn.), by unanimous con sent, introduced a joint resolution appropriating #30,000, to be used by the Secretary of Btate for the relief of the personal wants, or for the return to tills country of American citizens destitute of means, who have been or may be imprisoned in foreign countries without just cause, and dis charged without trial or acquitted on tr ial. The Secretary to report in detail all such disburse ments. He briefly explained and advocated the proposi tion, and moved the previous question, which was seconded. The joint resolution was passed—yeas 111, nays 2!) On motion of Mr. Kerr (Ind.), the Presiden. was requested to communicate auy report made in pursuance of the joint resolution of March •if, 3807 1 in reference to ship canals around the falls of the Ohio river. The House resumed the consideration in the morning hour of the bill reported by Mr. Stiller (Pa.), from the Committee on Revolutionary Pensions, giving $8 per month pension to sur viving officers and enlisted men, including militia and volunteers, of the military and naval service of the United States, who served consecutively for three months in the warof 1812, who were honorably discharged, and who at no time during the late rebellion adhered to the cause of the enemies of the Government, but were con stantly and continually loyal to it, and who can take the test oath, and who are in circumstances which render them dependent on others for support. .Mr. Miller (Pa.) addressed the House at some length in advocacy of the bill. He claimed that not more than one-twentieth, or 12,557, of the soldiers of the class provided for in the bill, were now alive and in such indigent circumstances as -would make the pension-under this-bill-amount to $1,224,672, but even supposing one-tenth of them were in indigent circumstances, oven then the amount would be only $2,4-19,314. Mr. Loan (Mo,) addressed the House in sup port of the bill, and claimed that it was so just a measure that no member would dare to vote against it. - Mr. Miller moved the previous question on the passage of the bill. Mr. IVashburne (I1L) hoped the House would not record the previous question, but let the mat ter be discussed, particularly after the challenge thrown down by the gentleman from Missouri (Loan),- The bill had been opposed, and op posed successfully for the last twenty years, and never had passed Congress. He had before him an estimato, showing that the bill would cost in the aggregate $1,720,000. : Mr. O’Neill (Pa.) remarked that that estimate was made in regard to a totally different bill, a biil to pension all the survivors and their widows. The previous question was seconded. Mr. Miller being entitled to one hour to close the discussion, yielded to Mr. Loan, who, in re sponse to a question of Mr. Baker, (Hi.), said it was utterly impossible to state theprecise amount that would be paid for pensions under the bill, but from ,811 the information accessible to- ’the cothmittee, It would not exceed $2,000,000 a year. The statement of the gentleman from Illinois (Washburne) was so absurdly incorrect that it was perfectly amazing how he could be induced to make it; That state ment Included all probable survivors and widows' and was calculated on the supposition that the average length of life of beneficiaries would bo twelve years. , Mr. WAsneumtE defended the statement which he had made. Mr. Paine, of Wisconsin, asked at what time the pensions were to commence? r•, - Mr. Loan, of .Missouri, replied that they would commence front tpavtime of the application under the hill. ; v ; •.! •. ■> Mr. Paine asked whether there was! any.objectlon to make that point? more dear ami dufinffr fa tho bill? . ■ - r,J z« ; Mr. Jjoan said, there was hone whatever. There was no time fixed in the bill, and, therefore, under the general law, it was dependent On the date or the application.
