adelphin when ho sntd tat, os faras ho was advised, they were perfectly willing, so far as they could tinder the law, to perinit that kind of deposits, In that way a market would inuuediately be mato for the bonds. There was no renyon why the United States should nut borrow money ut 0 lower rate of intorest thap any other country among the clvilized nations, It had tho power and ability to pay both prinelpal and tnterest, and there was 10 teagan why Aimerican sceurlty should not have superior credit and stand at the head of the Government securities of tho world. ‘There had been, he sald, some abuses in tho past in connection with refunding the publle debt,—for Instnnee, In regard to the pay- nient of commissions, Ele wanted to know whother this bill alowed commissions. Mr. F, Wood replied that, in the formar Re- funding law, one-half of 1 per cont was al- lowed; which yas to cover commissions and all expenses of printing and issuing the bonds. In this bil! one-quarter of 1 per cont wns allowed for tho cost of disposing of tho bonds, but thut did notiuclude the cost of printing. Mr. Cinflin remnrked that the cost of print- ing would be about one-quarter of 1 per cent. Mr, Randall— THEN LET US CALL IT “PRINTING,” beenuso an allowance for commission leads tunbuses. Ile also wanted to know whether any provision of the bill looked to the dove- taillng of Interest. = Mr. F. Wood replied that the bill protected the Treasury in that respect, and that provis- jon was made for adjustment of Interest. Mr, Randall remarked that he had been un- able to find out, from the ‘Treasury Depart ment, the amount of double interest paid out in tho refunding process of 187, and he asked whethor Mr, Wood could furnish the infor- mation. Mr. Wood satd he could not. Mr, Randall concluded by saying that he wished to facilitate the Treasury in this matters that every Denoerntic member had the same desirg pnd that the Mouse would fail In its duty if it did not provide the neces- sary legislation to meet the bonds falling due in July. He wanted, however, to hava the Inw amended in the three following par tlculars: No commission to be pald: no double-interest to ‘be allowed; and tho benec- fitot tho premium (if any) to revert to tho people.

This was mado in @ pretty emphatic way by Jo- nas, notwithstanding the fact that Jonas himself was born in Kentucky ond spent most of his Ufo iu IMtnols, and {8 himself a carpet-baggor in Louistana. ‘This fact Is saldto have been brought out in debate, Somewhat to the discomfiture of Jonas. Benator Edmunas very strongly supported Woods, and sald that the best men at the Bar Inhiscreult, Democrats and Itepublicans, unitedly favored him, It opposrs thats. Breat many Loulsiana lawyers who are Den- bcrats have sent letters to the Judiclary Cam- hilttee favoring Woods! confirmution, and Mr, Jonas stands pretty weil alone fn his op position, Jonas was also opposed to Judgo Woous on tho ground that he had mada A POLITICAL DECISION in the Grant Parlsh casos. Thero wore o great many motions made to adjourn and to take recess, but finally a direct vote was had on tho proposition to confirm, and [t was tarrled by x considerable majority, A mo- tlon waa then mado to reconsider the vote, and upon this the Senate adjourned,—tho Democrats who were opposed to the contfir: lation, It Is guid, haying left the Chamber and broken a quorum.

Sherman and Gen, Sheridan, ‘Che former fayvred tho or- dering of the court on tho ground that it would bo well to smooth over old difficulties and differences in tho army, Gen. Shoridan, however, viewed the matter In the Nght of at order whick placed Gen, Grant and him: self on trial, and compelled then to show that thoy were justified in relieving Gen. Warren of his command at Five Forks whilo in the face of tho cnemy. This difference among the chicfs ling spread among tho ad- heronts of each, until INNER MILITARY CINCLES are quite alive to tho subject. As soon as the order for trinl was isstied, Gena. Grant and Sheridan acted in full concert, with a view of entirely vindicating thelr action. ‘This thoy uccomplished, but both aro re- ported to be very much dlasatistied with having been placod in a position where an effort of this kind on their part was made necessary, and both sre sald to hold Gen, Sherman responsible for the order granting the Court, since, as they bellove, had he ob- Jected, the President would not have con- sented to calling it.

Suit for this was commenced in the Florida courts, when Gon. Call filod an account for EXTRA SHRVICR rendorod by him to the Government, which the Court allowed, and thus, turned tho tables, making the United States Call's dobtor for $8,503. Of course this could not ba collected from the Treasury, and it was shown in tho. debnto to-day that officinis have no right to make such clalins for extra services, Tho payment of the claim was, nevertheless, urged with great portinacity, perhaps all the more so becauso Gen, Call's nophow now occuples 1 sent in the Senate, PLACKH. _ NOMINATIONS.

C., Dec. 1.—The follow- ing are the main features of the annual re- port by Mn}. Lydeckor, Corps of Eugtawers, on the improvement of the Hinots River,— ‘wn wttportant Mink in the throtigh water connection between Chicago and the Missls- sippt Rivers TY REPORT, _ “At the beginning of thy year the outfit for building. brush and stone dams, and for. dredging, was awaiting completion and trial at Peorlu, whore the work of construction } had been in progress, Everything having been placed in working order, the entire fleut, in tow of the steum-svow, was sturted down the river to Pesrl Shoals, the yolnt at which the season's: work was w begin, in the meantime the working organization had been perfected, the accumulation of materlul for dams had been couunced, and the chung) which it was designed to minke had been marked out. Durlug all tho perlod of opéras tlons the river stood at an unusually low atuge,~—a condition most most unfayoruble for work, ‘Tho use of dup scows was im- posslble, aud the only course to follow in dredging was to open a chunnel through tho bury, casting the excavated interial in a bank.beside the cut, with tho desl of ro- moving It when the water should rise to a auiliclent bight. The scows engaged In transporting waterial for the dais could take but small loads, aud in many cases they could not oven then be conyenlently placed beside the dam, “There are many sunken loga and snags iu various parts of tho river, which, belug dangurous obstructions in perlods of ordinary low water, proved wore than usually destructive during thls season, Tho new tow-boat, runutng on one of thom, was sunk, and had tobe hauled out for repairs, On another, four large barges were sunk,—one of them being wv total loss, Accordingly 1 had ous of the scowa thawed with the “ued: essary shears and grapples to remove the worst ones along the navigable channel. “The aggregate Jength of dams at Pearl Shoals and Fisher's and Atwell’s Bars, bullt during the yenr, Is 5,858 fvet. ‘The total number of snags renioved was eighty-four, “Tho work of improvement {8 still far from complete. The bars improved during tho past year were the worst remaining on the river, Iiniting navigation during the low- water season to a draught of two feet, Asa result of the work done, from four to five feet cnn be carried in these places at low- water; and that is tore than can be carried through the Intervals between these bars, and at many other parts of the river. Tho length of river covered by our operations during the yeardoes not exceed eight injles,— tenving the tte ed out of consideration, — but the resulting benefits reach ich further, as the greutest obstruction to navigation In this river below Naples has been removed, and Navies is tho terminus of one of the reg- ular pucket-lines, PLOPUSED IMPROVEMENTS. “Phe amount available June 80, 1880, was 2148,600.45, of which $110,000 was nppropri- ated by the act approved June 14, 1880, and $45,009.45 Is the balance of the previous ap- proprintion, ‘The act specifies that the suin uf $10,000 shall be applied to dreduing. Ac cordingly It Is proposed to apply this amount to operating the dredge amd machinery owned by the United States, and to constructing the auxiliary dang and dikes required for the malntenanee of the dredged channels, This js In continuation of the present plan of op erations, Which has been sanctioned by pre- 8 upptopropriations by Conzress, The eondittons of the present bill further require that *'The sum of $100,000" shall be uxpended un locks and dams’; therefore Stig proposed to apply the amount specified to that purpose. “For completing the sinck-water Improve- ment of the [ilnols Liver, two plans are be- fore the Departinent: First, that presented by the Honrd of Engineers jn 186s, which in- volves the construction of three locks and dias below Copperas Creek Locks and, see ond, that proposed In my reports of Aug. 30, 1878, and) May 10, 1490, whieh involves the constriction of two locks and dams. * Loenl exumitations are necessary for de termining the sites for the works under elther phiny and L would propose that these be ventinenced ag soon as practicable. Jinv- Ing fixed upon the sites, detailed plans and estimates muy be prepared, und the work of eonstructioncommenced. {tts probable that with the present appropriation we will bo able to contract for building the foundution of one lock only. “Though the radical Improvement of the river by the slaci-water system ly Inaugue rated. by the provistons of this year’s Appro- printion bull, # large amount of dredging will stil remain to be done, viz.: from the river's mouth up to the first lock and dum that will built, .prob- ably near.
