I Mr. WASHBURNE, Illinois, presented
I estimates from the War Department in ref
-
1 erence to the deficiency of 687,000 for the
i administration of, the reconstruction acts
in the Third Military District. Ordered to
be printed and referred to the Committee
on Appropriations.
Mr. PIKE, from. the Committee on Naval
; [Affairs, reported ajoint resolution request

is inflicted shtdl be in proportion to thepe
. culler injury occasioned by the offence.
Mr...PIKE advocated, -the xesolution,
which grew from the fact that the Canadian
Government proposes to tax American
1 fishing vessels four dollars per ton and to
send vessels of war to enforce:it. In reply to
. an inquiry, Mr. Pike said the President al
-1 ready has the power, and this was but aye
quest to use it.
i l Mr. BUTLER favored the resolution.
1 The President does not propose to interfere
, unless there was some expression of onin
-4 ion on the part of Congress. There would
• be no trouble arising out it.
Messrs. WASHI3URNE and CHANDLER
opposed the resolution.
After further debate Mr. PIKE moved
• the previous question. ,
1
Mr. SPALDING moved to amend to make
the resolution read that the President be
• requested to send a sufficient number of
vessels of war to the fishing grounds in the
Gulf of St. Lawrence, adjacent to British
provinces, for the purpose of protecting
American vesSels' in the exercise of their
rights as indicated in the existing treaties.
The previous question was seconded.
Mr. BENJAMIN moved to table the keso
.
lution. . ~ ,
Rejected—Gl to 76.
Mr. PIKE, being entitled to the floor
to close the - debate, proceeded to make a
speeclicin which he contrasted the statistics
of American shipping and commerce with
. ' the statistics of former periods, attributing
• the decay to the high tariff on all, material
, entering into shipbuilding-and high* taxes
generally. He referred to the fact that
• Congress had •removed taxation from the

Rev. Dr. Porter, of N. .T., from Commit
tee on Expenses of Delegates, reported in
part, recommending that ' only railroad
tares and actual expenses immured in travel
be allowed.: :
-After considerable discussion the report
waft, amended and adopted.
,The order of the day was then taken-up,
being the report of the Special Cgmtnittoo
on he reception of:the southern delegates.
Carry paid au:earnest tribute to the
heroic toils and sacrifices of the brethren
who stand knocking for admission into this
body.
His: personal _ relations with these
Men were or the most pleasant nature,- but
ho had endeavored to Consider the question
inits legal aspects. 'lt was a new question
entirely and Conference was about to
establish a precedent for all time, the im
portance of which should outweigh all per
sonal consifferationi. Ho then proceeded
to give a suCtinct history of the organize.
tion of these Conferences, claiming •that
they were clearly Mission Conferences, with
somewhat peculiar relations to this body,
not including the right of representition
4-, ‘,'"`( -
,- As - the• speaker here intimated thy' he
was expressing the views of the special
committee,-„he was interrupted by Dr.
Reid and D. E. O. Haven, of tho Commit
tee, who insisted that nothing had been
agreed upon in the. Committee, except the
items reported yesterday, and that their
views of the relations of these mission bod
ies differed materiallyt from those_sif the
speaker. • -
Dr:Curry resumed reading from the of
ficial report of the. last General Conference
to show that in tae organization of these
bodies in the South it was clearly under
stood that they were not to be - entitled to
representation here until fully invested
with all the powers of annual Conferences.
theDoctor r while speaking on the -powers
of the General' Conference, remarked that
it had no power to change its own Constitu
eney. which was understood to be a declar
ation against the legality of the admiSslon
of laymen. .
At the . close of Dr. Curry's speeth, • the
hour of adjournment having arrived, the
subject Was laid on the table nud made the

great interest ; manifested in - the
Proceedings. Soon after the Home came

,
proposed, after the.ll6:ise had acted upon'
the resolution relative to the Irish Church,
introduced by himself, to offer a suspen

in force until the first of August, 1889. He
then, in a few words, proceeded to an ex
planation of the purport and intent of the
second resolve, and moved it be put upon
passage.
Mr. Gathorne Hardy said the opposition
intended to destroy the Irish Church. The
Ministry wished to alter it for the better;
but, after the recent decision on the first
resolve, would make no resistance to the
succeeding one, or ask for a division on. its
passage.
The second resolve wasthen adopted:
Mr. Gladstone then moved the passage of
the third resolve, and after some discus
sion and proposal of various amendments,
nearly all of which were rejected, it was
was adopted, in substance as follows ;
Resolved, That an address be presented
by the House to Her Majesty, the Queen,
humbly praying that to prevent by legisla
tion at this session, or by creation, ofnew
personal interests through use of the public
patronage, she would be graciously pleased
to place at the disposal of Parliament her
interest in the temporalities of all the dig
nitie.s and benefices of the Church of Ire
land.

The New York- Herald of December 'l3,
1865, contained a "report of Gen. HanCOCk's
speech at a New England dinner the - day
previous, from which we make the follow
ing extract. The General said
• "Much credit heti been given to the army,
and praise without stint has been accord- •
ed by a gratefulpeoplel to its Generals. I. We
have had many Generals, among whonithe
honors have been divided, and whose fhme
will live in more enduring form than-in I
wreathes of laurel, but during the periodof
our greatest perils, we have had but one
Minister ofWar, and during his adnini.4.l
tration substantlal victories crowned our
arms. One, who has been unequaled in'
furnishing the „means of war and phichig
them in the hands of our , Generals; one 1
who rivaled eiiinot in ail _that is accorded
to, him for preparation; one who nevi:Tian
ered, however dark the' hour. And, shall
we not honor him? I kndi , him to be gen
erous and • mindful of faithful service.=
Among the people I predict an InCresaing
tide of popularity in his favor„and that he
will be one of thosewhorn the country will
delight to honor—Edwin M. Stanton,- Seb
