Such ® provision was monstrous, It would sweep under mar- tial law a large class of citizens and all of the legal profes- sion who might aid in procuring any claim, no matter whether he knew about the character of the claim or not. Be would have a severe punishment méted out to those who defrauded the government; but he would have it done by courts. He moved to strike out the second sec- thon. Mr. Powrroy, (rep.) of Kansas, said he feared that the bil! would bring into the service of the United States as large a class of persons as were now in the army; and would not the government also be bound in the way of pensions, kc.? Mr. Wiaon, (rep. 2 of Mass.,eaid ® very few hundred = would comprise all the contractors included in the i. Mr. How.rp contended that no consent of the person was Feqvired to place him under the rules and regulations of the military service, and it was as just and proper to place the contractors who cheated the government under mar- Stal law as to place private soldiers under such law. He saw nothing to complain of on bebalf of such Mr. Mornit, (rep.) of Me., thought the bill jus to the criticism of the Senator from Pennsyivani: could not see any necessity for bringing this class of per- ous under the Rules and Articles of War so long as the courts were in existence, These contractors could always ‘be reached in the courts, Mr. Wu:on, of Mass., sald the halls of Congress had rung with denunciations of fraudulent contractors. The ernment was doing what it could, but found it had no ww toreach these cages. He hoped the Senate would pass some Dill in order to reach these cases, ‘batitute for the gecond section, proving that all con- tracts for munitions of war or supplies of apy kind Rereafter made shall contain the provision, that any per- gon making such contract shall be considered in the military service and subject to the rules of war, confin- tng such service entirely to contractors. After discussion by Messrs. Davis, Howarp and Cowan, ‘the amendment of Mr. Wilson was withdrawn, the second section was stricken out, aud the bill passed. THE PACIFIO RAILROAD. Mr. Haran, (rep.) ot Iowa, called up the bill to estab- Meh the gauge of tho Pacific Railroad and its branches. It makes the guugo four fect and elght and a half inches. Mr. Harjan stated, as a reason for fixing this gaugo, that it was ubcessary to make the gauge conform as near ag poenible tv a majority of the roads of the country, so that rolling stock, &c., might be transferred. There were 20,567 miles of road of this gauge, and only 1,199 of a Aifferent gauge. Mr. Fusanven, (rep.) of Me., said it was a conceded fact that such a gauge was too narrow. The best roads in England had altered their gauges, and some of them were even fest. The reason why so many ronda were built on this proposed gauge was because they bad begun go, and, faving begun wrong, the thing had to keep on. But the wider gange was r aud susceptible of greater speed in travelling Mr. Hanns, (rop.) of N. Y., could not agree with the @evator from Maine as to the benefits of the wide gauge. The Frio road in the State of New York Bad a gauge of six fect, and men of capital were seriously pees the polley of altering the gauge of that road ihe patfow gauge, on tho sdure of economy. Mr. McDovaait, (opp.) of Cal., thought the Senate had Detter not go into a discussion on railroad gauges. The was well fixed now at five feot. bill was postponed until Tuesday. > GRANTING LETTERS OF MARQU Mr. Grivus, (rep.) of Iowa, moved to take up the bill suthorizing leiters of marque and reprisal.

Whe accident was caused by the explosion of the steam pipe, and for a time it was thought the hull of the ‘vessel was injured, On examination, however, it was found that the damage was confined to this single piece of machinery, and that the accident would not delay the vessel more than a day or two.
