HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. ENUCATIONAL. The Houso rosumed cousideration of tho bill to establish au educational fund, and to apply the pracends of the sales of the public lands to the education of the people. Mr, KASSON opposed the bill, on the ground tuat it proposed to take control of tho question of education from States, and to call into exer- ciso now powors on the part of the Fetleral Gov- ernment, Mr. BUTLER, of Tennesseo, spoke iu faver of the bill, aud then it went over till the next morn- ing hour on Tuesday. ‘I'he Houso then went into Committeo of the ‘Wholo on the Naval Appropriation hill, 1t ap- proprintes 316,505,856, Mr. ITALE, (Me.) who had charge of tho bill, opened tho discusaion, Ho stuted in what par- ticulars the expenditures had been cut down. The amount appropristed in tho bill was_only about 8500,000 more than was appropristed for tho navy in 1859, and ali the reductions were mado with tho assistance of the Scciotary of tho Navy, who had contributed to forward the work of tho Comumittee in that direction, - THE NAVY DILL, M. BECK declared hisbelief that the efliciency of the navv conld not bo kept up for tho amount appropriuted in tho bill. lle had socen low spproprintions before, but they had always been followed by deficiency bills, Thut bad hoen done particularly in the your preceding tho firss elec- tion of Gen, Grant, but the next year Congress Dad to supply doficloncies to tho amount of 38,000,000, The same thing uccurred in con- nection with the second clection of Grant. Mr. DAWES rominded Mr. Deck that the #28,000,000 doficiency came ovor from President Johnson’s admiuistration, Mr, BECK, leaving that subject, wont on to criticiso the Saocretary of the Frensury for in- flating the currency in violation of Jw. AMr. AROIER declared the bill to be o do- tusion, aud waid that the smount of 216,000,000 appropristed by the bill'must necessarily causo & defieiency bill for ut least 5,000,000, He charged tho Committes on Avpmi)‘hfiuun with having shown no appreciation of the difiieulties of the foreign rolations of tho country, The diflicul- tios with Spain bad not yev passed by. Thero Liad been a probability that tho relations witl Spain might romain peaceful while Cnstelar was at the Lend of the Spanish Government, for Castelur was known to bo & friend of tho Ameri- can nc{:\uhhc; Lut that very friendship bad cauned his doposition, and in “his place was now the bloody Serrano, who had nothing but hatred and dislilio to the United States, and tho prope- sition was that the navy thould stand, not on the usual poaco basis, but one-fourth bolow it. No greoter mistake could be made than in catting down the navy on the ory of cconomy. Truo economy was to keep up o slrong navy, In order that war may bo averted ; nat to be cconowical until war comies, and then launch into wild expenditure. T'ho discussion was further continued by Mesprs, SCOFIELD, COX, and WOOD. The latter contended that the American navy was amplo enough, and even too large, if the people were to Lo taxed further to maintaiu it. hu thought the appropriution should be still furthor voduced. Al the expenditures of the Govern- ment wore profligately extravagant, and should be cut down, Ar.
