Improving the River Front. COL, HAINS’ REPORT OF OPERATIONS IN JANUARY. Col, Hains, in his report to the chief of engineers, of operations for improving the river front during January, states that hydraulic dredging and the delivery of rip-rap stone remained suspended during the entire month by reason of bad weather andice. Dredging and embankment on section 2 and3 were continued, although some delay was caused by ice and bad weather. As all the bids for the construction or reservoir outlet and wing Walls were rejected becanse too high, it 1s DOW Proposed to do the work by day’s labor, and pur- chase of materials in open market by contract.

The Senate then, at 12:50, resumed considera- tion of the Post Office appropriation bill, the ques- tion being on the amendment appropriating $500,000 for the malls to South America, Mr, Beck replied to some of the remarks of Sena- tor Plumb yesterday.

Immediately after the reading of the Journal Mr. ‘Scott (Pa.) demanded the regutzr order, and called up the Senate bill for the retirement and recoin- age of the trade dollar. Mr. O'Neill (Mo.) raised the point of order thet the commnittee on labor was entitled to the floor under prior special order made in May last. That special order had been made under a suspension of the rules in May last by a two-tilrds vote, and he contended that it could not be set aside by a ma- Jority vote ot the House upon a resolution reported by the committee on rules. Such a course would. turn the making of a special order by a two-thirds vote into a farce, ‘The committee on rules could nullify the action of the House and to-morrow report a resolution setting aside the rematuder of the session for the | consideration Of one particular job, to the exciu- ston of every prior special order. ‘rhe Speaker scated that the Order awarding the floor for one day to the committee on labor had been made in May last, and was a continuing: order. Subsequentiy the House—not the commit tee on ruies—hiad vet aside a particular day for the consideration of the trade doliar bill to the exclu sion ot all other business. He overruled the polnt of order.

During the debate on the gas bill in the Senate yesterday Mr. Gorman said that the people of the District of Columbia are governed, as we all know, by commission which they have no earthly power to control the appointment of; and prac- Ucally all the main needs of the District are in the hands of ‘army officers, and especially en- gineer Officers, Such a system is unques- Uonably very unsatisfactory to this people, und, for one, I want to enter my protest against the ep- Jargement of the duties assigned to army officers, houest and capabie as they are.

In the message he first raises the objection to the Dill that it 1s an avowed dey diers; that the bounty of the government in the way of pensions 1s generously bestowed when granted to those who, in this military service and less extent, been disabled.

Believing this to be the proper interpretation of the bill, the President recounts the beneficence Which the government has already bestowed upon all deserving penatoners, and sa; “I cannot believe that the vast peaceful army of Union soldiers, who, having contentediy resumed their places in the ordinary avocations of life, che as sacred the memory of patriotic service, or Wi, having been disubled by the casualties of War, justiy regard the present pension roll, on which pilose Uneir names, as a roll of honor, de- ‘sire at this time and in the present exigency to be confounded with those who such a Dill as Unis ure willing to be objects of a simple charity and to gain a place upop the pension roll through alleged depenuence.

In the execution of tbis proposed law under any inte tation a wide field of Inquiry would be o tor the establishment of facis largely within the Knowledge of the clatmants alone; and there can be no doubt that the race after the penstonsoffered by this bill would not only stimulate weakness and pretended incapacity for labor, but put a further premium on dishonesty and méndacity.” THR ENORMOUS PROBABLE EXPENSE of the bill is another objection urged by the Presi- dent, He quotes the statement made in Congress that the numberof pensioners under this bill would be 33,105, and the increased annual cost $4,767,120; Dut reasoning from the analogies of the laws of 1818 and 1853, he is satisfied that the cost stated in this estimate would be many times multiplied and with a constant increase from year to year, and 1f those partially unable to earn their support should be adinitted to the privileges of tis bill the probable increase of expeuise Would be almost ap- . He Says: Pert lias constantly been a cause of pride and congratulation to the American citizen that his country is not put to the charge of maintaining a large standing army in time of peace.
