CONGRESS.
House.
Washington, May 2.—Twenty-six private bills were passed, but the bill for extending the time for the filing of suits in the Court of Claims, and to establish a title to the Hot Springs Association, in Kansas, were objected to, and were not considered.
The bill reported from the Committee on Patents, authorizing the application for the extension of the patent of John M. Marsh, for the trimming attachment to sewing machines, passed—95 to 85. The bill elicited a good deal of discussion.
The Speaker announced he had received a communication from George W. Childs, proprietor of the Philadelphia Ledger, stating that the use of his name as in co-operation in the bill to incorporate the International Immigration and Land Company, was wholly unauthorized and without his consent and knowledge. With the consent of the House he directed Mr. Child's name to be erased from the bill. Similar statements were made by Mr. Monroe as to J. D. Cox, of Ohio, and by Mr. Burchard as to Willard C. Flagg, of Ohio, and these names were erased from the bill.
Mr. Roberts, from the Committee on Ways and Means, reported an elaborate bill to amend the customs and revenue laws, and to abolish moieties. The bill was referred to the committee of the whole. House then adjourned.
