The Southern Pacific Railrond Fight. ‘The action of the Senate Committce on Pacilic Ratt- Toads, on the question of a Southern Pacific Ratlroad, it is stated, wil! rive rise to a lively fight in the other ‘branch of Congress. 1t appears that the friends of ‘the Transcontinental line have determined on ‘this diversion, In the substitute for the Dill Propose’ by the Senate committee a clause ts inserted getting rid of an amendinent regarding the consolidation of other companies, ‘which leaves all Lut the Southern Pacific out in the cold. The sudject of iucorporators is sll undor con- aideration, and will be again talked over at an in- formal meeting this evening. There seems to be considerable trouble in getting this satisfactorily arranged. A prominent member of the committce, @peaking on this subject, observed that this question would not be definitely settled till the last moment. ‘The committee will report next Tuesday, The Pacific Submarine Cable. Cyrus W. Field returned to New York city this evening. Mr. F.e‘d’s project of a Pacific submarine cable seems to be gaiuing frieuds outside the com- Ruttee.

Mormon Children and the Polygamy Biil. The Senate Committee on Territories seem to be eonsideravly exercised on the question of providing for the extraordinary progeny of the Mormon saints, ‘The Utah bill has been before the committee several times, and can hardly be considered definitely set- tled. The committee are of the opinion that the summary abolition of the practice wou!d lead to much suffering, and particularly by innocent parties, ‘The subject will be tatked over.

Several hours were con-umed in a discussion upon fixing the pay of ceriain offtcess of ihe Senate. humendment was adopted to secure to naval oft aud surveyors of pores the fall compensation rec avon by them under the act of 1841 unul re- centiy. Mr. HAMLIN, (rep.) of Me,, explained that about a Mv ago the Commissioner of Customs had, upon an incorrect statement of facts, secured from the At- turney General an opinion authorizing the reduction of the salaries of these officers, The object now was to declare the meaning of the act referred to. Mr. WILLIAMS, (rep.) of Oregon, from the Finance Committee, reported an amendment, which was agreed to, fixing the annua! compensation of assist- ances in each of the Executive Depar:ments, tne Sec- ond Comptrviler, the Comm. sstoner of Customs, the Solicitor and Register of the Treasury, the Audito:s of the Treasury and Commissioners of Pensions, In- diay Affairs and the General Land Office at $4,000, Mr. DRAKE, (rop.) of Mo., from the Committee on Naval Affairs, reported an amendment to continue the office of Solleitor and Naval Judge Advocate by tne usual appropriation of $3,600. Adopted. An amendinent by Mr. TRUMBULL, (rep.) Of IU., to make the compensation of femate clerks, copyists and counters employed in the several departinenis the saine 4s paid male clerks periormiug similar du- tios, gave rise to debate, Mr. Srewart, (rep.) of Ney,, thought {it wonld be to the interest of the government to give women a fair chasce wherever femaie labor could be sudsu- tuted for male labor, Mr. SAWYER, (rep.) of S. C., thought the principle governing the employment of Jabor was the same with the government 2s with an individual, and that the government was entitied.to rake advantage of the low price of female lwor, «This was the in- ducement for employing \nem in the first place, As between the two, he thought the heads of bureaus greatly proierred male clerks. Mr. THAYER, (rep.) of Neb., dissented from the latter opiuton. He thought the ladies were given the preference by bureius, where they performed the pubilc service satisfactorily. Mr. SAWYER did not doubt but that the gallantry of his friend from Nebraska wou'd induce him to leave the puvlic service to suffer a littie 1a consider- ation of the company of the !adies. Mr. THAYER replied he had expressly stated the condition of thar performing the public service satisfactorily. + Mr. SAWYER—And one of the elements of that sat- isfaction woud be the picasure of that gentieman’s associations in the bureau, (Laughter.) He pio- ceeded to argue tlat women were physically unable to perform the work of men withthe same facility. If the voice of women theinselves cou'd be taken on the question he had not a doubt that seventy-five per cent of them wou.d say vote it down, This was ecause those of them who had reflecied upon the matter anticipated with truth if they were to be paki at the same rate wiih nieu they would be turaed out of the departments. Mr. MORRILL, (rep.) of Me., proposed a substitute for the amendment to authorize the beads of depar.- Ments to appoint compctent iemaie clerks entitied to the same pay received by all oticr cleyxs in the class to which they are appointed. Mr. TRUMBULL said the proposition just offered Would merely authorize the depariments to do that which they were now doing. No reason had been, or could be, given why the lady clerks should not Teceive the same compensation given to male clerks, whom they frequently Instructed in thelr work, He looked upon the continuance of the practice as a rents to the government and the age. . WILLIAMS thought. there was a distinction In favor of the males, from the fact that they had lh to support, which was not true of the femaler. ir. TRUMBULL replied that he did not know half adozen of lady clerks, but of those he did know four were sup! orting tamilies, Mr. STEWART eid he was informet by heads of depariménts that they eniployed only those who had ovhers cepannee upon them, Nincteen-twentieths of the ladies had families to sunport. Mr. TRUMBULL referred to the lady counters in the Treasury as among the most valuable officers of the government. He hoped they wouid be raised to first class Clerkships, and that ihat object might be accomplished by his amendment. Mr, Corser, (rep.) of Oregon, offered an amend- ment to make the compeusation of maie cierks the same as female. He tiougit this would auginen! the number of female employés., The maies, ii not satisfied, could seek other employment. Mr. POMEROY, (rep.) Of Kan., nade an argament in favor oi giving the ballot to woman as tle most eMcient means of securing her rights, Mr. Craaty, (rep.) of N. H., said he knew it took considerable courage to oppose the amendment; but he knew, a8 @ result of personal observation, that the females in the departments coald not com- pete with the males. ‘The former were absent on oto of sickness two days for every one of the ater. Without disposing of the subject the Sonate, at a quarcer past six o’ciock, adjourned until Mouday, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. WASnINGTON, May 18, 1870, THE ONEIDA DISASTER.

Mr. HALE explained and advocated the bill. Mr. MAYNARD, (rep.) of Tenn., made the point of order that as the bill made an appropriation it must be considered in Committee of the Whole. ‘The SPRAKER Su-ta ned the point of order, Mr, SCOFIELD uppeaied t» Mr. Maynard to with- draw the point of order, and remarked that tf at the time of the sinking of the Alabama any gentleman hai made such a point the whole country would have potted the finzer of indiguation at him, Mr. MAYNARD endorsed everything tiat Mir.

Mr. Dawes replied to the objections of Mr. Law- resce, The award might be too large, but still it was an award made under a treaty stipulation, The 8-cond objection was still stranger. 1t was, that if Veeause another nation did not comply with kts obli- gations it was no reason why this nation should not comply with its obligation. Mr. LAWRENCE—Do you not agree to that? Mr. DawkEs—No, sh’, I do not uphold any such stindard of morality.

This galaxy included the two presidents of the two asso- clations, Heary Ward Beecher and Theodore Tilton. on the platform included Miss Authopy, a Mott, Lucy Stone, Mrs. Elizabeth Cady vet Winchester, the venerable negro lady (Sentanor Truth), Eleanor Kirk, a female local editor from I!liuols (Miss Baldwin), aud Misa Adele Haslett.

In illustration: of this Mrs. Stone gave a number of incidents in her owm experience, where women were forbidden to vote even in the churches, and contrasted it with the action of the Methodist Church, which now allowed women to vote on the question of lay preachers, and women were now acknowledged as preaciers, and were making their mark by converting the men ag ‘the result of their preactiing. ‘Tie women in the old ume, wien they were church members, did not, neither did the men, do that whih they do im Plymouth church, sell the pews to make up a salary, but they made up the salary of the maln’aige By & more simple method, In the voting thereon Mra, S.one gave AN AMUSING ACCOUNT of her vote not being allowed to be countedin, She wauted the ballot because whatever 00d it Was to a man it Was equally good to any woman. 13s SUSIE SKINNER foliowed this speech with a song.
