Wasixaroy, D. 0., Dec. 19.—The Sonato con- curred this afternoon, in the ITouse holiday ro- cess resolution, It was amusing to watch mem- bers of tho Iouse who woro iu the Senato while the voto was bolug taken. T'he moment tho announcement was made by the Clork that the resolution was adopted, thoy ran over to their own chamber, aud circulated tho news. Then thero wag confusion, Dosis wore opened and uhut, pockets stuffed with documonts, and o rush mede for tho doors. Tho aceno rominded one of an unmanunorly sudienco nt & theairo leaving beforo the ond of the last act, Mr. Dawes was trying to interest the membors with & speech on tho over- lasting Chorpenning-clmum mattor, but his au- dionea dwindled go rapidly that when holind con. cluded it {s doubtful if thoro was a quorum on tho floor. Tho members of tho Iouse are un- derstood to have made an agreement among tacmsclvos to go home nt all ovents, loaving leks than & quornm here, Blaine and Wheeler bad effected ru agreement by which they wore to di- vide thoe duty during thonext two weeks, of going through tho form of adjourning the Houso be- causo of tho want of o quorum, so that whether the Senato ndjourncd or not, the Iouse would still beve their bolidiy relaxation, THE BALARY-DILL 1N THE SENATE, Throngh its Chaitnan, Mr. Wright, tho Sonate Commitiee on Civil-Servico and Rotrouchmont, to-day reportoil back tho Honse Salary-bill with amendment, Tho Committeo recommends that - tho pay of Congresamen shull bo just what it was before tho inercase, including the porqui- sites, and leaves untouched tho salaries of the President, Vico-President, and Judges of tho Supremo Conrt, while the enlaries of Cabineb officers aro fixed at 8,000, 08 beforo, M. Wright, in support of the report, delivered himsell of what Senetor Logan characterized a8 a *“whining epocch.” Upon tho roassombling of Congross the roports will bo discussed, and from the re- marks of Senstors mado afier adjournwent, thero will bo probably a repetition, in a mild form, of the recont strugglo in tho Jlouso, Itis zpparent that our Congresmen are &till uncon- vineed of the uupopulavily of the obmoxious law, The clamor for its repeal having ceased for o few weels, (bey think that tho people have forgotten, whon tho fact is, that thoy have only beecomo disgusted of hearing it epoken of. Un- lces the constituents of Congressmen remind them of their duty when they catch them nt home during the bolidays, thoy ara lable to con- ‘tnue defunlters. A RETROACTIVE DANKRUPTOY LAW. Provious to golng into exceutivo seasion, Jonator Morlen Lried to introduco a resolution natructing tho Judiciary Committoa to embody intoils roport on the Bankruptey bill,a rotroact- Ive provision, Ilinidea wag to got this before the country; then it might act a8 & warning to heartless creditors who aro taking edvautago of their knowledge that the law is to bo modified, to put their debtors into bankruptey. Mr. Sume ner, with an eye singlo to the civil righty of the colared people, objected to this rosolution, and fell still-born. EUROPEAY IATL SERVICK.

INCREASING THE TAXES. The Ways and Meanu Committes grows dally ‘more avorso to granting Secrotary Nichardson's request for additionel taxes, Ihoy have boen known to exproes themnelves as of opinion that the Magspchusotts Probate Judge 18 more am- bitious of eatting the examplo of Mr. Boutwoll by poylug off somo of the public dobt than auxious to know whora he will got tho monoy to meot tho current exponses of tho Government. In this opinion, it ia falr to say, thoy are nlso {Iouwd by prominont Government_oflicluls, who ave monus of information na good as Richard- son's. Mr. Douglass, the Commissionor of In« torunl Rovenuo, said to-day, that the recoiptsin his branch of the sorvico wore rapidly coming ug)‘ that they have now reached tho point at which thoy wore bolore tho pauls, and that lo believod they would not only come up to his estimntos, but oxceod $hom by 23,000, QU0 or $4,000,000 by the timo tho fiscal year hng oxpired. Members of the Committeo are also of tho opinion that, whilo the falling off in tho revonttes from import dutiesstill remainsas groat a8 cver, thoso duties must and will increnso within a mouth or two, The falling off at tho iimo of tho punio was about 25 per cont on ench of thoso two principnl sources of roveno ; and, upon this porcentage, Lichardson nrguo& that thoro would be o deficit of 42,000,000, Dnuglnuu anys that tho tntornal Rovenue rccnlrls will be what ho estimated thom at tho beginnin, of o fiacal yonr, or more. If this is 8o, it will take 925,000,000 to $28,000,000 from tho Secro- tary's estimated doficlt of '$43,000,000, and tho remainder will bo still furthior roduced by the in- cronso inimpost duties which is rensonably looked for, For theso ronsons tho Committco nro convinced thal, ut tho outsido flgnro tho doficit will not excoed £15,000,000 or $20,= 000,000, and aro not disposed te bo hasty in legisluting new taxes npou the people. A momber of tho Committao snid to-night that if distillors wero wise thoy would at onco close out their stocks of liquors on hand whilo tho prices wore up, for if thoy wera kept up, it would not be bo- causo of any new legislution on the subject.

Desara, Wilson, of Indiaua, and Eldredge, of Wirconsin,will doubtless go a3 the Sub-Commit- teo of the Judiciary Committeo to New Orlenns to look into Judgoe Durcll's case, as proyided for by Butler's rosolution Yusncd to-dny. Tho charges agninst Durcll are many and serious, comprehending malfcasanco and misfensanco in olfico, drnukenness, and otlhors, any ono of which, if proven, would be sufticient to impeach him. e is suud to havo mado 2 large nmount of money oub of bankrupt cases, of which somo 1,600 have beon befora Inm. Ono of tho charges is that the Judge was 0 drunk when ho signed the order to prohibit tho convening of the AlcEnory Logielaturo_that Gio had to be held up in his seat and his hand stendied to cnablo bim to writo. Theso charges tho Sub-Committee will look into, and a8 the witnesses in the bankruptey cases aro vory numerous, it s much cheapor to sead tho Sub-Comautteo thero to oxamino thom than to Dring them hero.
