The nomination of General Cushing to be Chief Justice has caused a great excitement here among the friends of different gentlemen on the bench of the Supreme Court and in Gon- gress, who h: hoped that they might receive the nomination.

If the question were on the orig- inal selection of a Chier Justice of the Supreme Court, it is well known that Mr. Sumner has had partialities which he has not concealed contract. Mr. Davis said the amount as between the House and the Senate was very disproportion- ate. The Senate reporting was to cost for the year only $7,000, while the House was to cost over $25,000. Mr. Sherman suggested that after the ith ot March next, the Senate reporters also have a fixed annual salary, to be determined by the Committee on Printing. Mr. Morton said if the House reporters were paid so much per annum, he did not see what vacations had to do with it. Members of Con- gress were paid by the year, and dew their sal- aries monthly, althoagh "there were many months when they were not here. The amendment of the committee was then agreed to, and the bill passed. Mr. Crozier introduced bill authoriving sale of a portion ef the Fort Leavenworth military reservation to the Kansas Mechani and Ag- ricultural Association tor a fair ground.

Mr. Dawes (Mass.) said he had at last session advocated the bili because he believed that the federal government would be compelled sooner or later to assume the control of the educa- tional system of the country.
