COM. OLD BILL NYE. A Happy Discovery by Congress- man Townsend, of New York, Who Fastens the Guilt of Being the Original of Bret Harte's Narrative Upon Lnttrell, of California. The Heathen Chinee in the House Yesterday, and a Great Speech by the New York Poet aad Wit Good at Deal of Sober Truth, Once Satirical and ilnmorous. Democratic Demoeoeuerv Well Unmasked for the Benefit of the Public.

Bat John Must or the Bill to. Restrict The Mitchell War Claim Defeated In the Senate The Amendments to the Constitution. LegialatiTe, Executive, and Judicial Ap propriation Bill Democratic lalsa Economy Keducing Salaries The Life-Baring Stations. Sittiar Ball The Peasloa Bill The Te bacce Tax Senator CenkIIogs Com-test with the President. THX CHINBSB UTJESTIOHr.

TBK DRBATK IV TBI HOU8S TXSTXRDAT FASSaGX OF TBI RESTRICTITK BILL. Hpedal Takstram to The tntar OeeoaJ Wasbisotok. Deo. 2S. The time tor the discussion of tne Cbinene immigration bill to-day was limited to one hour, and Mr.

Willis save one-half ot his hour to Sir. Townsend. of New York, the only Re publican known to be willing to speak against the bill. Tne purpose of these tactics was to obtain tor the Democrat tbe largest possible aipareat credit for the bill's Mr. Townsend de clined to share his time with tor Republican except Mr.

Page, and yielded only five minutes to him. daring which Mr. Page exgned mainly to show that the bill did not in fact contravene the Burlinganle treaty, as the latter provided in its fifth section for restricting Immigration on either siae to certain specified purposes and that the Chinese immigration. against which the bill legislates, la not immigration in the true sense. Mr, Townsend made an earnest but somewhat rambling speech, arguing that cheap labor is desirable, that Chinese are valuable to the country, and that the crusade against them is simply a repetition of the efforts made a few years ago to exclude or dis courage the immigration or Irish and Germans.

He. also, claimed that it is the outgrowth of the same spirit which in past ages excited the persecu-tion ot the Jews in Europe. His speech throughout was based upon the brother- hood ot man sentiment, and he indulged in many sarcastlo references to the story ot Bill Nye and the Heathen Chinee. Lut-trell made a lire minutes' speech, devoted mainly to an attempt to show the Republican party had obstructed legislation on this subject by refusing to adopt the amendment offered by him to an appropriation bill to prohibit the employment of Chinese in the navy yards. He did not state tnat this was ruled out because it was new legislation and inadmissible under the rules of the House.

Williams, of Oregon, before Liuttrell spoke, had to-day endeavored to offer a similar amendment to this bill, but the Democrats objected to its reception. Willis made a ealra, forci ble speech, recapitulating the arguments of his report, and laying special stress upon the unanimity of the Pacific coast sentiment on this subject, and upon the fact tht all other countries where Chinese had Immigrated had been forced, by similar experiences, to adopt restrictive measures. Amendments were offered by Mr. Cooper exempting Chinese students from the restrictions of the bill, and by Mr. Garfield providing that formal dipio-matlo notice should be given the Chinese government of the termination ot the treaty before the bill goes into effect, but ail amendments were excluded by demand for the previous question, and the bill passed on a yea and nay vote, as aoove stated.

THX KB ATX IK DXTAXL. Alter th Introduction ot several bills. Mr. JtUU aaXed if the regular order was not the morning hour. Tbe Speaker replied that it was not: that the special order was the bill to restriet the im migration ot Chinese, and tbe House pro ceeded immediately- to Its consideration.

It provides tnatb0' master of a vessel owned by any citizen. of tbe United States shall lake on board at any foreign port any nam ber of Chinese exceeding tea. witn the intent to erlrjt them to the United States, under a penaUyot 100 for each saeh passenger la excess of ten, such penalty to become a llei'onthevesseL Mr. Conger Inquired II an opportunity would 1 given to offer AVKKDKXKT3. Mr.

Willis, ot Keatasxr. who had charge of the bill, replied that be was instructed by the Committee on Edaeatloa and Labor to have the bill passed as reported. Mr. Conger said many gentlemen on his side of the house were In favor ot the bill, but wanted an opportunity to amend a ltd debate it. Mr.

Lnttrell The people ot Calilo rnia want wuvn.noiwnrat Mr. Page called attention ta the fact that the oiner aide HM made the Lhlnins aoesuon subjeet of caucus, wbrle the Heuublieana bad not considered it. but still lie hoped that no una would oppose tne demand lor tne previous question. Mr. oonger moved to consider the bill in the tiouse as in committee cf thu whole.

J'lio bpeafcer ruled that thU was not In order, aad the previous qutsuon was sec onded by 110 to 33. and the main question ordered. kTH. TOWKSEHD SPEECH. Mr.

Town Bend disclaimed say Intention of sneaking for the HeiiubHnan party or anybody else. He spoke for himself, as a friend of humanity, when he opoosad the bill. He opposed it oecause it was virtual creaking oil of social aud political relation with one-half ol the human race. lie had nothing to charge against the Democratic party for entering into tne treaty witn inina. tnougn that treaty been negotiated in tbe good old Democrntlo days.

Tne-y were oava when tne light of heaven sometimes reached the bmin of Democrats. lLaughter. He credited the Democratic party not only with making that treaty, but wild cringing prosperity to tne I'aclllo Coast from its adoption, because today California owed her position to it. That was before ksarnsv had come, ana Deiore Kearner was represented la tbe national halls. rLauuhter.l Bet It was said that Con gress must take unusual grounds for tne Don.

ntui la innpff man. laiur ns men. ma sren- tleman from Pennsylvania (Wright) had said yesterday, wern starving 01 them, ha said, were atarvinn' laughter (Mmmmmi! And. besides, there were in Pennsylvania people in tne. Innutia asylums from the hardness of the times.

Ue would say to the gentleman from l'eoosyl vania that lunatics were sometimes made by hard times, sometimes by nnre- nuitad love, sometimes bv unsatisfied ambi tion. and Pennsylvania luuaiica made from such causes. DID NOT ALWAYS STAT AT HOICK. fl jiuir liter. 1 Ha did not wish to dis parage or to underrate the sufferings of the laboring classes.

It was very hard struggle, and had always been to, to keep the wolf from the door. It was the hardest atruereHa of humanity, vet it that which had. mada hnmanttr. The hard wills of Pennsylvania, New lore, and ttnw England, bad made a body 01 men tnat the country might be well proud ol Tne pros perity of 187H and It had been the most rosrjeroua year since tne dawn 01 creation ad been to a erreat deerree due tft the over throw of tbe fanaticism ot olden times.

Sitting Bull and the pension bill were the chief topics discussed. Prlvatr dispatches received confirmed the report that Sitting; Bull and his people were 00 American soil, but that they pro- tasted in every way possible that their mission was peaceful. They wanted no -more trouble with the great father; they would never again molest the pale faces; all they ask Is permission to go South far enough to avoid freezing to death, and to bunt buffalo. They represent that to attempt to remain longer In British Amer ica means death from cold and starva tion. The questions raised by the nnwei- eome presence of Sitting Bull were submitted to Secretaries Evarts and Scharz.

The government is good deal puzxled over the matter, and heartily wish he had gone northward to Hudson's Bay or tho Arctic Ocean. The pension bill was discussed at length, with reference to the amount of money required, and where it was to corns from. There- are strong Indications that the adminis tration favors a revival of the income tax as the best way to replenish the Treasury should the pension law make the heavy drain expected. Secretary Sherman was still unable to say what amount would bo required. He was waited on by Mr.

At- kins. Chairman of the House Appropria tion Committee, who askea for an estimate of the amount required, saying that tha burden had been imposed by Congress, and must be met. It is very doubtful, however, whether this Congress appropriates a dollar to the purpose. Among Southern members there is unanimity in favor ot reviving the income tax. New York Democrats discourage this, saying -it might lose the State to them, but tha Southern and many Western members will insist, on the income tax notwith- standing.

WiBHUOTOX. Jam. 28. It is a matter or great importance as to when the payment of the arrearages under the pension bill begins, whether on the date of the discharge of the pensioner from the government service, or at the period a which the disability commenced. After conoid- -erable debate in the Cabinet to-day on this topic, the matter was leit for tbe opinion of the Attorney General, THE TOBACCO TAX.

A COKPEOM18X BY THX SENATE TTXAXCX COMMITTEE THX TAX PUT AX 20 CXXTS. Special Telegram to Tne Inter OeeaaJ WAsmsQTOB-, Jan. 28. The Senate Finance Committee to-day refused to agree to the House bill reducing the tax oh tobacco from 24 to 16 cents per pound, but amended It so as to make the tax 20 cents per eound in the future. Mr.

Morrill and Mr, Jones, ot Nevada, opposed any redaction. Messrs. Ferry, Allison, Dawes, Wallace, and Bayard voted to make it 20 cents, and Mr. Voorhees 10 cents. Senator Yoorhees reserved the right to offer an amendment in the Senate reducing the tax to 16 cents.

He also proposes to offer an amendment In committee reviving the Income tax. and If it is not adopted another attempt will be made in the Senate. This action of the eomml ttee Is not satisfactory to anybody. The tobacco trade wanted a reduction to 16 cents or none, and the Treasury' officials insist that it remain at 24. Whether, the 2 O-cent compromise earriesj' ln the Senate is very doubtful.

If It succeeds the result will be a reduction of the revenues about $4,500,000. Tbe Treasury' official's are very much alarmed at the drift of things, as we are confronted wlttt decreased revenues and increased expenses at tha same time. TBS HEW YOBS NOKNATIONS.
