Eads and Prof. Forshbey in support of the former’s proposition to improve the mouth of the Mississippi by means of the jettee system. The committee, by a vote of 5 to 3, agreed to report a bill in the main in accordance with the views of Capt. Eads and Prof. Forshey. Tue Senate Committee on Civil Service and Ketrenchment considered this morning Senator Wright's bill, which proposes to re inc» the pay of subordinate employes of the Senate, and to apportion the Executive department clerksbips among the various Congressiona districts. No vote was taken on the bill, but it was evident from the discussion that the com mittee almost unanimously disapproved o! its provisions.

Q. What proportion of the whole work ia the city did you examine? A. It is bard for me to tell; but I do not suppose I examined 5 per cent. of it. Q. Did Mr. Samo make any explanation to you about the mistake in the measurements on ‘New Hampshire avenue? A. When I first ar- rived at my results on the avenae and feund that they varied very much trom the statemsnt in the Governor’s answer, I requested, or at least L asked, Mr. Samo whether ne could ex- plain or tell me wherein the ditference consist ed.
