Mr. Cass that he had received such a paper. Mr. Crayvron said that paper bore at its head the name of the bishop of that diocess, and the editor asserted that it was published by the authority and under the sanction of that bishop.

THE ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL The Boure went into Committee of the Whole ou the Ariny Appropriation bill. ‘The amendment pending, was to repeal «0 much of the former act as authorizes military auperintendency at the national armorieé, and providing for the appoint- ment of well qualified civilians at either of those estab- liahments. ‘Mr. Vansant, (dem.) of Md., said, memorials from 7,000 honest mechanics, invoking os 1 rag to remove from their fellow laborera the degradation of military rule while engaged in civil employment, had been sent here. They did not emanate from a ‘cats who live on vernment favor, and seek preferment iu places where ere is little to be done and much received. The me- morialists do not hang about the lobbies and vestibules of this bail, but were e in great industrial pur- suits, and at all times and places have been acknowledg ed a credit to society. He vindicated the report of the majority of the select committee, who have declared against the military superintendency of civil works—de- yoo had been charged, that the door of investiga- ti had been elosed by them to the minority. ie committee met forty-six times—thirteen witnesses were examined,—eight were in favor of civil superintendency, and five in favor of the military- the latter to the three who were examined at ld, and there is an equal number of witnesses on each side. Those armories were establ@&ed in 1794, and bo complaint was ever heard of insufficiency of civil superintendence over them; on the contrary, there was always abundant testimony to show the supe- riority of the civil system, The present military rule was an insult to the mechanics of the country, and therefore should be abolished. Mr. Kmrrt, (dem.) of 3. C., took issue with the gentle- men maintaining the superiority of military superintend- ence. A great parade, he said, had been made about the memorials, but he wished it known that the select com- mittee was authorized on the 13th of February, but it was not until the 14th of March that the first memorial was received, and that from the district of Co- lumbia, where od sched have no vote, and area buo- dred miles distant from either armory.

Mr. Watsi—From your own State? Mr. Ketr—Yes, from my own State (and from other States. Mr. Davis, (dem.) of R. L, was for keeping the milita ry and civil power distinct, and therefore in favor of civil superintendency Mr. Skxctox, (dem.) of N. J., said, after hearing both sides he bad come to the conclusion that each had made out its case. He offered an amendment providing that the manufacture of arms at Harper's Ferry and Spring. field be discontinned, and authorizing the Secretary of War to contract for the manufacture and supply of arms which may be necessary for the army and navy, and that $200,000 be appropriated for the purpose This was rejected. Mr. Baxxs, (dem.) of Masa., spoke against the milita ry superintendency, and defended the mechanical inte rests of the country generally. The Committee roe without coming to a conclusion on the subject. The House passed the bill regulating the time for holding District and Circuit Courts in Louisiana Adjourned. From Washington. THE HOMESTEAD BILL—HORRID ATROCITY. Wastrserox, July 17, 1854. It seems to be settled that the Homestead bill ' will not pass theSenate. Many Senators, originally friendly te the measure, have chi front upon the feature ex- tending the provisions of the bil over aliens, and will not only vote against it, but use other effort to defeat its final passefe. Some wish it sa in order to place the rer ibility om the President it being un. derstood that he would sign the bill, notwithstanding his voto of Miss Dix's Insane Land bill involving the same principle. But the prevailing sentiment is hostili ty to the entire measure as it ie ted. A brutal murder was committed here last aight, owing to an Irish family row. A man named Keefe had his head literally choy to pieces with « hatchet, and died to-day. "His wife another woman were also se verely cut with the sai rument. The perpetrator Was arrested.
