ATE.—On motion of Mr. Chandler, the Si copeurred im the amendments of the Mouse to the bill to amend the act to provide for the better security of the lives of passengere on vessels propelled im whole or in part by steam. Mr. Blair called up bill to provide for the erection of @ bridge over the Missouri river at Booneville; which was diteuseed and passed over. Mr. Trumbul, from Committee on Jadictary, rey maze tavorably the bill to abolish the test cath. The Vice President presented the creden- tials of Hon. Wm. Windom, Senator elect trom Minnesota; which were read and laid on the table. ‘The bill in retation to railroad bridges over the Migsissippi river was amended and passed. Mr. Howard cailed up THE TEXAS PACIFIC RAILROAD HILL, and moved for the appointment of a committee of conference. Mr. Sawyer wished Senators to understand that it this bill was sent to a committee of conterence there would be great danger of its being lost. Mr. Warner moved to concur in the House amendments. Mr. Pomeroy moved to recommit the bil! to the Committee on the Pacific Railroad. Mr. Blair said if this bill was accepted as passed by the House, it would be a northern road, it would be @ northern guage, and point- ing to the north. All the southern branches had been studiously cut ott. If there was any- thing that this Congress was pledged to, it was togive the southern people a southern railroad: ‘but this bill was a delusion and a suare. Mr. Pool said he would soouer have no bill than such a bill as this, Mr. Conkling said it was now evident that de- bate on this bill would last all day, and he there- fore would insist upon the regular order. THE ENFORCEMENT ACT. ‘The regular order, being the bill to amend the act to enforce the rights of citizens of the United States to vote in the several States of n (bis Union and for other purposes, was then taken up and read. * this Dill seemed to be the Mr. Vickers s: rf - otispring of the bill whic! oo last Session.” The effect of the bill of the last se: sion was to intimidate, if net outrage, the: people of the United States, but the people were so prepared that no pretext was aftorded for any interference with the purity of elec- tions. " But the bill tailed of itseficts. Its re- sults were not such as its framers a and hence the party necessity for s ning its weakneas. Both bills are obno: to Con- stitutional objections, They assume the power of the general government to superintend the registration ot voters and of elections for Kep- Teeentatives in Congress. This power is claimed under the first clanse of the 4th section of the Constitution. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.—Sey- eral members. by an agreement with the chair- aman ot the Appropriation Committee, (Mr. Dawes.) who was entitled to the floor, asked leave to present important bills for immediate action, but persistent objection was ma Mr. Butler, of Mass., and the House proce: to the consideration of the SUNDRY CIVIL APPROPRIATION §itt. Mr. Brooks (N. Y.) asked it it would be in order to begin at the tail end of the bill. fle had observed that the tail-end of these bilis never received any consideration. Mr. Kelsey (N. 1 he should confine his Temarks ujon the bill to one paragraph to pay X $10,000 scientific museum at the Gen- eral Land Office. He said that Mr. Wilson was not entitled to one cent for it. The collection Was made at the expense of the Gevernment by the officers of the Government, a part ot whose duty it was to collect these epecimens. Mr. Sargent, (Ual.) replied with the same warmth. He said he was aware of the hostili of the gentleman to the late Commissioner, said it aroge trom bis baying saved to the gov ment $140,000 in the expenses of h Which was turned into the Tressury as an nnex pended balance. The gent! man could not till the paragraph was reached, but must it out to attack in advance a faithful officer, who aiter forty veare of service. a thorongh knowledge of the land system of country, did not own an acre of land, and w: now compelled to apply for copying for men. bers of his tamily, or rent his rogzue tor lodgings to support his family. He said the museum was collected by the ex ertions of Mr. Wilson who had labored ince-- santly, and had made it bis pride, ane now in- stead of pensioning an old and taithful public officer as was done in every other civilized coun try, it was sought to robbim of the credit jue bim and refase this acknowledgement of bis meritorious service. ANENDMENTS. Mr. Haight (N. J.) offered an amendment providing tor payment for six experien men to be stationed at the life saving sta! the coast of N. Jersey. Reterred. Mr. Cox (N. offered a siatlar amendment for half the service at alternate stations, which was adopted. Mr. Wood (N. Y.) said that he desired to ry ph making OSEPH §. for the valuab! offer an amendment to the paragra; appropriation for fuel for naval vesasis, which amerdment was of more importance to the country than all the bill. It was as follows Provided, That hereafter all coal imported into the United Statesshall be free of duty. The Speaker ruled the amendment out ot order. Mr. McGrew |W. Va.) offered an amendment to the paragraph making appropriations for detection and punishment of persons engaged in Cogermpeceae | treasury noes, bonds, coins and other securities of the United States to in- clude national bank notes. Mr. Butler (Mass.) opposed the amendment, and propose: to amend by inserting ‘and pay all other expenses of the national banks.” Mr. Gartield (Ohio) reminded the gentleman that a tax was imposed upon the nationa! hanks which more than paid the cost of engraving and printing their notes. Mr. Butler said every time the national banks were mentioned they were toll how much they were taxed, but he wanted to hear how mach jog Ryresle dividends—how much they took out of the arge of the detection and punishment of counterfeiters. The amendment took uo money from the Treas- ury. ‘The amendment was then adopted. Mr. Kerr moved to amend by reducing the Amount appropriated to detray expenses in- curred in jefonding sulta agaiust the Secretary is agents for the seizure of captured or abandened rty,and for the defence of the United in the Court of aims from $60,000 to $30,000. . ‘Mr. Holman (ind.) moved an amendment to the same paragraph, providing that no tor the sum should be paid to atiornies at law for services in the courts, which was adopted.
