In tho course of the discussion on the subject, Mr, Ne, -{rep.) of Nevada, said he wished to call attention to the cbaracter of the men whose salaries it was proposed to Ho would read the platform of the Johnson Club, ‘an organization largely made up of clerks of the Interior Department, as pybliched im the Natimat Inelligencer, He would Inquiro of Mr. Doolittle if tho head of thts club ‘was one of the men whose salary was to bo raised. Mr. DootirTLe said he did not know. He thought not. Mr. Nv said Congress liad got so accustomed to receive rebukes from certain quarters that they ceased to burt; Dut ho insisted upo it that that class of men should be the last to ask for favors at the hands ot Congress, It was sheer impudence in these clerks, who were drawing their subsistence from the government, to abuse Con- gress as they did. He moved the postponement of the . pending subject. Pending the consideration of the above the morning hour expired, and the subject was pdstponed until to- morrow. PROTHCTION OF THF LIVES OF TRAVELIZRS, ,, Mr. Epmonp-, (rep.) of Vt, from the Committee on Commerce, reported, with amendments, tho bill further {o provide for the safety of the lives of passengers on board vessels propelled in whole or in part by steam; to regulato the salaries of steamboat inspectors, and for other purposes.

The provision respecting lights ‘on river ateamers is stricken out. An additional section provides that supervising and local inspectors of steam- boats shall execute such bonds as the Secretary of the ‘Treasury may prescribe conditioned for the faithful per- formance of the duties of their respective offices and the payment im the manne provided by law of ail moneys received by them. GOVERN WENT SALINE LANDS, Mr. Powmoy, (:ep.) of Kansas, introduced a bill to au- thorize the Secretary of the Inteior to lease such of the ublic lands of the United States as are known a saline or lands containing mineral springs, and to pro- vide for.tho rvation und development of the same, It provides that such case shall not be for a longer period twenty-five y ars, subject to adjustment every five years by | disinterested refer not at a rate of rental less than the revenue assessed from time to time on manufactured salt, or income tax ‘upon mineral springs, by act of Congress.

He then proceeded to re- the d.fferent positions held on the sahjcct of recon- and the status of the states lately in rebellion, ining that the government had always acted upon that the existence of the States was not de- by the war.

Mr. Howe then reviewed several of thoroclamations issued by the provisional covernors in thdouth, doing #0, av he ead, to show that in the re. orpization of the Southern States tho principle of Sta rights was entirely ignored, and everything was —_ authority and order of the federal government. i eoron ing the discusnion the Senate wont into executive and soon afterwards adjourned.

EDUCATION IN WASIINGTON, Mr. Ganvim, (rep.) of Ohio, from the Select Commit- tec on Education, reported @ substitute to the bli to es- ~ ish & Dopartmeutgof Education ai the city of Wash- ir. Downey addressed the Houre in support of the ‘bill, He claimed that with the rebellion the ustion was born into a new Ife. The Southern people had sought for years to overthrow the government, and they could not be trusted to administer it unless measures were taken to provide azainst the dangers of the future, Slavery was desiroyed, but the ixnorance which was its cousequence remained. at must be destroyed or the nation must die, Four million slaves had beea liberated and must be raised to the level of citzena, This could only be done by educa ‘tion. The white man of the South must also be educated, for he can only become loyal as he be- comes more intelligent, This must be the most inte ‘as well as the moxt eearere, and industrious to the world. In France, ia, Austria and Rassia, pro- vision had been made for public education by the na- tion, The United States alone, while its ment rested solely on the intelligence of the people, bad done ——. not Bile bed been left to ee Goes, and hy rebellion had been the consequence, The ignorance the South, if not removed, would cause still other rebel- lions, Civilization was simply education. A republican government was the result of both and could not exist without both. Two distinct policies wore established two hundred years ago; the one in New England, the other in Virginia, y had travelled over the world. One was the policy of popular education, the other that of popular ignorance. He compared the condition of the North, in point of industry, happiness, virtue and pros- perity, with that of the South, and stated that in 1850 three quarters of a million of dollars were expended in the Slave States in support of public schools, while im the free States seven millions were ex, The condi- tion of Mexico was due to the ignorance of her 2. Of tho Indians and ne-roes, but two per cent could read and write; of the whites but twenty per cent. How much better off were the South than this? In Delaware one fourth of the whole adult population cannot read and write. Popular ignorance must produce the same results here as in Mexico, Such a Department would be & mouthpiece for education, and a rallying point for its friends. While it could not interfere to en- force education in the States, it would supervise it. It would collect facts for future legislation. It would create a public sentiment upon the sub- Ject. It would throw a flood of light 1 the dark laces of the land. It would hasten the day when rom Maine to the Gulf no community would be without achool houses, Mercy, jastic, intelligence, patriotism and religion would follow in its train, Upon this toun- dation might be built up in the course of many years an institution greater than that of which Bacon dream «d— the greatest university of learning ever known in the world, He regarded this measure as a necessity in the present condition of the South. It was the very leact sue could be done in justice to the great interests in- volved. Mr. Rocena, (dem.) of New Jersey, opposed the bill as lovking to the establishment of another federal bureau for the purpose of carrying out particular ideas of phi- tauthropy. In that respect he regarded it as no beuer and no nore constitutional than the Freedmen's Rureau. He was content to leave education to the States, cities and towns without any dependenc> upon @ federal bu- reau, He denied that the people of the South were uneducated, but, even if the masses were uneducated, It ‘was not they who were responsible for the rebellion, but it was the oducated classes who were responsible for tt. Tho morning hour having expired, as sir, Rogers closed his romarks, the bill went over tll to-morrow. THE PAY OF OFFICERS AND SOLDIERS OF THE ARMY, The House then proceeded to the consideration of the bill to reduce and establish the pay of officers and to regudate the pay of soldiers of the army. Mr. Davia, (rep.) of N. ¥., addressed the House in op - position to the vill, and was followed on the same side by Mr. Rocenrs, Mr. Rovsswav, (rep.) of = took exception to some remarks of Mr. Rogers’, which he considered too highly culogistic of the officers of the regular ariny and oorres- pondingly disparagiug of the officers of the volunteer service. He denounced this as a elandor and misrep- resentation which he could not hear anywhere without ir. RoGkrs asked the gentleman from Kentucky whether he was a graduate of West Point. Mr. Rossxav roptied that he was not. Mr. Rocuxs intimated that that accounted for the post- tion the gentleman took. Mr, Rovsseav said it was not necessary for him to have ever seen West Point to know the efficiency of the volun- teer army. That volunteer mong! bad pat down the rebellion, and would have dono it if there had not been a West Poinierinthe country. It weuld have done $0 as woll without West Point as with it, . Rocxus said, in an undertone, that he did not Dolieve it. Mr. Rovaskac ted that it was not of the least importauco to him what the gentleman from New Jersey did or did not believe. He did not think that he (Mr, Rogers) kuew enough to have any belief about it, or, if be did, he certainly couid not form the House on the subject. Who wore the officers who bad drilled aud trained the volunteer force? Not regular officers ivut offi- cers of volunteers, He had hoped that even the goutle- man from New Jersey could have aseailed the bill with- out assailing the volunteer force of the nation. As one of the volunteers he repelled the assault upon them, and if he was « West Polater he would repel it all the more strongly. Mr. ‘dcaxsox (rep.) of Ohio, took the floor. Mr. Rocers asked leave to’ reply to Mr. Rousseau, but Mr, Schenck absolutely declined to yield. Mr. Rocens, however, succeeded in making himself heard ina declaration that the gentleman (Mr. Rous- seau) totally misrepresented him, and that the object was to place him (Mr. Rogers) betore tho country ina false position. Mr. Scnexcx insisted that he would re the floor to the gentloman from New Jersey, the Speaker pro tempore (Mr. Orth) hammering lustily, in order to in- duce Mr. to resume his sent, t Mr. Schenck to allow him three minutes for explanation. Mr. sourxck utterly refused to do so, Mr, Rocxes thon declared in aloud voice, which the Speaker's hammer waa uneble to drown, that all he had got to say waa that the charges against him wero fatse. The discussion of the bill was continued by Meaurs. = Damon and Scnexce.

Near- ly two hours, however, passed iu patient waiting befora the crier’s voice spoke out business, Two hours’ specu- lation took the wildest flights as to the cause of delay, Some said that Judge Underwood dared not show him- self for fear of assassination, The more prevalent story, and commanding tho largest degreo of credit, was that a tolegram bad been received from Washington announcing that a Cabinet session was to be held at one o'clock, at which would be determined what the government was willing to do regarding Jeff Davis. At the close of this Cabjnet session Mr. O'Conor was to telegraph his ayso- ciate counsel here its action and the steps to be taken by them—whether to urge on the speedy trial of Davis or his parole or release on bail; and they, not knowing and not finding out whether the lattor rumor was trae or otherwise, were kept in the anxious bench, ‘Those present being very few, and these principally lawyers and newspaper reporters, there evidently could have been no notion throughout the city that anything was likely tobe done baving an important bearing on tho case of the ex-President of the confederacy; or olse, judging from the slim attendance, the gene- ral interest in his fate here not at the present time overwhelmingly large; but to those im at- tendance it was clear that something was intended to be done of the moat important nature regarding Jo Davis.

Brady, of New York; William B, Read, of Vhiladelphia, and George W. Brown, of Baltimore. In addition to these were the junior associate counsel the same wide—Messre, Edwin A. Van Sickle and J. H. Basall, of New York, and Charles N. Gross, of Philadelpbia Mingling with these and with one another were the Prominent lawyers of the city. Among the legal repre- sentatives of Kichmond prosent, but confining himecif to the outer circle was ex-Comulsionor Robert Quid. A con - spicuous fyure, and who kept up a lively cireuit of the room and chatting with nearly everybody, was young Burton N, Harrison, quondam Private Secretary of Jom Davis. At length at one o'clock Judge Underwood took his #oat on the bench, and the jury roll was called by Mr. E. M. Barry, the Clerk of the court. It was found that a quorum was not present, Skirmishers wore gent out to bring in the stragglers, Judge Underwood read a news paper a while, and then » law book, and then commenced writing. The lawyers kept up their busy chattering, and the writers for the press fell into base repetitions of old jokes. Three jurymen were alter a while brought in, and one could not take the test oath and had to be exensod from serving. This one wae Mr James FE. Lipscomb, of Richmond, The last required moat happily strayed in through the back way, and a quorum Was at jongth proseut.

Honnosay, Aasistant United States District Attorney, said that he had been entirely unaware of the nature of the application just made. To the abseace of the District Attorney, Mr. Chandler, he was not prepared to answor the question, but would immedietely tele graph to that gentleman the factof such an application having been made. Mr. Chandler would probably arrive in Rebmond this evening. If he faffed to arrive Major Hennessy stated h» would himself be prepared to answor the question to-morrow morning. Judge Underwood, addreseing the counsel for Mr. Davis—Am 1 to undrstand that that will bo satisfactory? Mr. Reed—-Entirely so. Tho court then edjourned until to-morrow at teb o'clock A. M. Mr. J. H. Gilmer, an attorney, practising in the court bevore the war, then asked his Honor if he would state what determination ho had come to in reference to a motion made by Mr, Gilmer at the last term of the court for leave to practine without taking the test oath re- quired by the act of Congress of 1463, Judge Underwood repled that that matter had been folly and ably argued before the Supreme Court of the United States, and he did not think it would be respect ful in him to decide the matter in advanee of the Supreme us be Court. He bad no cluding ail sympat the rebellion from practising — before would be re and in would make no obje'tion to any got the war was a member of the bar practising now, and he hoped no objection would come from any other quarter. After the tranaaction of some unimportant business the court thea adjourned to ten o'clock to-morrow morning. Judge Underwood did not arrive till this morning. He is th» guest of General Terry. He states positively that Chief Justice Chaso will not attend the prese the court. The general impression seems to be that Mr. Davis will be admitted to bail.
