INDIAN APPROPRIATIONS PASSED The Arkansas and North Caro- lina Senatorships. ¥ish Favorable to the Eish- ery Clause. TRAE SALT DUTY. Award of the Atlantic Mail Contract. WASHINGTON, Feb. 2, 1872, Education Debate in the Housc— nces of the Public Land Public School Bil ff proving—Promptnces in Passing the Indian Appropriation. The vill to establish an educational fund and “apply the proceeds of the pubiic lands tothe edu- cation of the people was the special order for this day inthe House, The discussion was opened by Mr. McHenry, of Kenwicky, woo opposed the bill as an imterference with the vested rights of the States, ‘This was the key note of the opposition, and in Various forme was made the staple of the speeches made by Hibbard and Parker, of New Hampshire, mew members, making their frst speeches in the Mouse; Kerr, of Indiana; Bird, of New Jersey; Wright, of Tennessee; King, of Missouri; Biggs, of Delaware; Ritchie, of Virginia, and Mcintyre, o1 Georgia. The repubiican speakers were Townsend, of Pennsylvania, and Shellavarger, of Ohio, with Mr. Hoar, of Massachusetls, as general respondent 30 questions from the other side, Mr. Kerr chiefly @efended the democratic party trom Mr, Hoar’s attacke, Mr. Hibbard declared this bill was the thin end of the wedge for the system by which Mr. Hoar hoped to have the general government obuan full control of education in the several States, Mr. Parker argued that the fund provided would accom- Plish pothing, as it would not be more than $5 for each school district in the country. The other speakers were chiefly excited over the skilful arraignment of the illiteracy in thelr several States made by Mr. Hoar in his speech in favor of the bill. Bright and McIntyre both argued, however, in favor of aiding the South to establish schools, ana both ave amendments looking w that end. Mr. Biggs, whose vanity seems aroused by the ironical applause his previous defence of the Delaware whipping post and Slavery had excited, came early to the front. Pos- sessed Of an easy manner, clear voice and consider- able rude wit and a courage of speech that knows No discretion, his harangue, as on other days, af- forded ample food for laughter. It was regarded by tne friends of the measure as giving them many votes. When the bill was introduced it could not be said to have had, for a proposition of so import- ant scope, any considerable and well defined feel- ing 1p its favor; but the democratic opposition has really created what was lacking. The bill applies ‘the net proceeds of all public lands to the education ofthe people. One half of the money derived irom Bales is to be invested in bonds, the interest on ‘which 18 to be divided among the several States, The otner half is to be divided in proportion to the school population; but each State and Territory 1 Wo first provide by law for the free education of ail children between six and sixteen. The Com- missioner of Education is autnorized to see that the jaw is carried out, and the States securing their quota are to make returns to him in prescribed Jorms of the schools in their midst, A number of amendments are pending, two of which simply use ‘the proceeds of lana sales and divide them prorata among the several States without any accounta- bility therefor. No action will be taken till next Tuesday, when the vote is to be taken, The House deserves more than usual credlt for its promptneas in passing the Indian Appropriation biil, Asudject which mm previous sessions usually occu- pied it for a week or tendays. In the present case it has veen weil considered and passed within three days after its introduction. Senatorial Sents—the Clayton Investigation The Vance-Abbott Fight. The Clayton Investigating Committee met this morning and examined £, A. Fulton, a colored republican member of the Arkansas Legislature. Hs evidence, which was very direct, was, that Wlayton, then Governor, had told the witness that he did not want any but his friends tn the Legis- lature, and that If witness wanted to be elected he must promise to vote tor him (Clayton) for Senator, The witness assented, was elected and voted for Clayton. Witness swore chat the Legislature haa been illegally organized by the Ciaytonites, the latter uniting with democrats to exclude anti-Cayton republicans, After that and before the Senatorial election the witness said he was offered money or office by Thomas M. Bowen, then Judge of the Supreme Court and afterwards Governor of Idaho, if he woud vote for Clayton, the position offered him being that of station agent on the Mis- sissippi, Uuachita and Red River Raliroad at $100a month. Mr. Fuller also swore he was offerea $3,000 Lo vote against the expulsion of Claytonites from the House, put declined on the ground that they had no right to seats on the evidence adduced. ‘This 1s considered by Senator Clayton’s enemies as very important evidence in unseaung him in the Senate. The Senate Committee on Elections and Privileges will meet to-morrow to formally decide the claim of Mr. Abbott toa seat as United States Senator from North Carolina. The meeting ts only Jormal, as it 18 wel! uuderstood that the majority report is already made out and signed by four Sena- tors. It was prepared by Senator Carpenter and is & strong legal argument in favor of Mr. Abbott. The report will be made on Monday to the Senate, ‘The Senators signing the reajority report are Messrs, Morton, Rice, Anthony and Carpenter. A minority report will be submitted by Messrs, Logan, Hill and Thurman, prepared by the latter. The Niblack-Wallis Contest. In the case of Niblack, contesting the Florida Tepresentation now occupied by Wall's, the House Commitice on Elections to-day heard the argument of General Batler, on behalf of the defendants, esk- Ang for an extension of sixty days in which to pro« cure testimony to establish the deleudant’s seat, The committee did not arrive at any conclusion in\ ibe matter, Fieh and the Fisheries—The Bill Reported. Secretaries Fish and Boutwell were, by request, before the House Commitiee on Foreign Afairs to. -@ay on the subject of the Osheries, as contained in “the Treaty of Washington, and gave their views, The committee subsequently decided to report to she House the bill providing for the carrying out of Ahese clauses, but without any recommendation in sejstion to it. “Tho Wednesday Atlantic Mail Contract Awarded to Williams & Guiou. The Committees on Commerce of the Senate and Mouse, with the Senate Post Ofice Committee, held @ joint meeting this morning, and nnanimousiy egreed 0. advise the Postmaster General to award ahe contract for carrying the Wednesday Kuropean ‘mail from New York to the Williams & Gnion fine, upon the assurance that this company had already contracted for the construction of two new and fast steamers, to be followed by two more in tne course of afew months, The meeting this morning ‘was occasioned by the offer of the Cunard line to \ carry the mail for nothing; but in view of the fact “hat the Cunard company combined with three o Wers in an agreement, two years ago, not to carry the mails for the compensation oe; C4, and the additional consideration that the Warlia'™$ & Guivn line at that time came forwara nd o. ered te carry the maiis at the rate Axed by Jaw, thus Telieving the department of great embar- ssroept, ‘The commitiees unanimously agreed, as AbOTE pIMIOL (0 AMALY Ile CoMbach ip ts Jason company, the steamships of which, although sailing under English colors, are owned principally by American citizens, ‘The Hornet in the Cabinet. The case of the steamer Hornet was under con- sideration in the Cabinet to-day, and there was some discussion as to the matter of allowing that vessel to leave Baltimore without an investigation. ‘The whole subject was, however, referred to the Attorney General, All the membera of the Cabinet were present, excepting Secretary Robeson. ‘The New York Central Taxable Bonds. Horace F, Clarke, Augustus Schell, Mr, Worcester and several other attorneys and officers of the New York Central Ratiroad Company arrived in this elty to-day, and will to-morrow appear before the Com- missioner of Internal Revenue to argue against the tax on their scrip dividend of $23,000,000, Consolidate the Whiskey Taxes. A delegation of Western distillers, who have come to the capital to represent their mterests before the Committee of Ways and Means of the House of Representatives, called at the Internal Reyenue Office to-day and consulted with Commis- siower Douglas and Acting Third Deputy Holmes im relation to the present tax on whiskey. They expressed satisfaction at the prosent rate of taxn- tion, but represented that the manner of raising the tax 1s hostile to the Interests of the distillers and the spirit trade generally. They are anxious that the various taxes—viz., the fifty cent tax, tne ten cent tax, capacity and housekeepers’ taxes and gaugers’ fees—should be consolidated into one and paid atonce, when the whiskey 1s Temeved from the distillery warehouse. A Uniform Tobacco 'rax. A despatcn received at the Internal Revenue OMce to-day from Danville, Va., announces that at @ meeting’of nearly all the manufacturers of tobacco in that town a resolution was unanimously passed in favor of @ uniform rate of tax upon all grades and styles of manufactured tobacco at whatsoever rate Congress may deem proper for the interests of the government. The Duty on Salt. The Committee of Ways and Means to-day contin- ued the hearing of the salt dealers. Judge Com. stock concluded his argument contending that there Was no scarcity of native resources trom which reasons could be drawn that salt ought to be duty free. A capital of $15,000,000 is invested in its manufacture, Under the ad valorem tariff of fitteen per cent in 1858 and 1860 the cuty on 14,000,000 bushels produced only $200,000, while under the present law the duty on 12,000,000 bushels produced $1,230,000. He referred to petitions of revenue reformers in favor of the repeal of the duty on _ salt, and m this connection asked these reformers to show that @ less duty would produce more revenue to the gov- ernment than the sum he had stated. The individual consumption of salt is thirty-three pounds to each person annually, the duty being six cents, which would not buy as good @ cigar as any gentleman of the committee would smoke, The point made was that such a repeal or suaden and violent change on salt would destroy that interest. Mr. John F, Driggs said if the salt had sold any- where as high as $3 per bushel in the country, as quoted yesterday, it was trom some ex- traordinary cause, such as difficulty of trans- portation to some particular localities, or, perhaps, owing to destruction of salt by fire at Chicago and other places, The average price of salt at Saginaw, where Mr. Driggs has salt works, Was about one dollar and fifty-two cents per bushel Within the last year. One reason for the cheapness of manufacture is, he proceeded, his fuel is cheap, it being the refuse of the lumber mills, and com- paratively at cost prices. If wood had been pur- chased at the ruling pfices all the profits would have been absorbed. H. M. Fitzhugh, President of the Saginaw Salt Manufacturing Company, agreed with the views expressed by Judge Comstock, showing it was im- possible for salt manufacturers to form monopolies, the discoveries of brine being too extensive for this purpose in various parts of tne country. Decrense of the Public Debt. An official statement issued by the Secretary of the Treasury snows that the public debt has de- creased from March 1, 1869, to February 1 of the present year, from $2,525,463,260 to $2,238,204,949. The aggregate decrease in the annual interest charge since March 1, 1869, 18 $17,598,834. Calling in Three Per Cents. The Secretary of the Treasury to-day called in $1,750,000 of the three per cent temporary Joan, em- bracing the following numbers:—$5,000, Nos, 3,202 to 3,414, and $10,000, Nos. 8,198 to 3,348. Interest on the above certificates will cease March 31, after which they wili be no longer available as a portion of the lawful money reserve in possession of any national banking association, Redemption of Fractional Currency. A correspondent having inquired whether holders of fractional currency must present 100 or more Dieces of any denomination of fractional currency to the Assistant Treasurer and depositories in order to obtainthe redemption thereof, or whether the same will be exchanged for United States notes in sums of $3 and upwards in accordance with the terms printed on the backs of the notes, the Treas- urer replies that the Assistant Treasurers and de- positories must receive and redeem such currency in accordance with the terms printed thereon, whether 100 pieces are presented or not; but that when the size of the deposit will admit the currency must be agsortea by the holders into parcels con- taining 100 notes of each denomination, American Newspapers for Instructing the Enali Sir Edward Thornton has been applied to from home to obtain copies of every newspaper, periodical and magazine published in the United States, to be piaced on exhibition at the International Exposi- tion to take place in England this year. Minister Thornton yesterday called on Mr. Joseph Shiliing- ton, bookseller and news agent, of this city, ana re- quested bim to take the matter in hand, which Mr. Shillington has consented to do. Publishers, there- fore, who desire to avail themselves of the opportu. mity to be represented at the English exlubition will address a copy of their publications, of some date in February, to Joseph Shillington, news agent, Washington, D. C. On their arrival here the publications will be arranged by States and sent to England, It will be remembered that a collection of American newspapers and periodicals excited much Interest at the English exhibition in 1851, but it was far from complete, and it is desirable that (nis collection shall be as perfect as possivle.

Four or five hundred persons were present, inciuding for- elgn diplomats, Cabinet officers, Senators and Rep- resentatives. Jt was one of the most brililant re- ceptions of the season.

The deposit bank allows but four per cent interest on this amount. The ex-President of the institution (Daniel B, St. John) called the attention of the trustees to this de- posit, and counselled that a portion of it should be invested “in the securities required by law as soon as practicable.” He also suggested other changes im the administration of the affairs of we bank, Which seem to have been feft mainiy in the charge of two members of the Finance Committee. This committee insisted on keeping the funds in the de- posit bank, and the difference of opinion culminated in @ change of President, Rev. John Forsyta, D. D., Chaplain at West Pomt, and a citizen of Newburg, being elected President, in place of Mr. St. Jonn, Several of the anti-St. John trustees are directors in the deposit bank, and thelr oppo- nents think they see in this “woodpile” the outlines of the inevitable colored mdividual. On the other side it is stated that the ex-President favored the Joan of the funds on property outside of the city— even in distant counties of the State—in preference to keeping them 1n the city, where they might ad- vantage tie community whose savings constitute them, and tnat the present administration is accom- plishing this desiraple object, besides making pro- vision to meet all probable demands of depositors, At all events the antl-St. John party are now “run- ning the machine,” having outvoted their oppo- nents at the recent election. The parties are making ther statements and counter statements in the Jocal press, and “the end isnot yet.” The bank 1s a flourishing institution, and has now a total surpius of $227,378 71. The amount due depositors on Jan- uary 1, 1872, was $1,895,270 63. The institution has one or the finest banking houses in the State outside of New York city. It cost $117,471 52 NEW STEAMBOAT LAW.

James and George H. Rey- nolds, members of the Executive Committee, now in session at Washington, were present and addressed the meeting, 1t was stated that owing to the persist- ent attacks upon the proposed new steamboat laws by one or two members of the House Committee on Commerce, that the owners of Western river and lake steamers had telegraphed last night trom Washington to their agents to refuse to carry passengers under existing jaws, which action will tend very much to embarrass the pas- senger trade, but under the circumstances the owners have no option in the matter, Measures are proposed which 1t 1s said will in a few days go to show that patent right men nave bought up cer- tain parties Who are opposing the proposed change in the law and using their influence to coerce mem- bers of Congress.

A Mover‘ent for the Procaring of Free Lights, Fre, Railroads and Free Police for the Peo- ple—Meeting in Masonic Hall—The Citi- zens’ Anti-Monopoly Association. Responsive to a call published by Mr. Theodore E. Tomlinson @ meeting was hela at Masouic Hall last evening for the purpose of organizing a movement to obtain the abolition of the monopoly of gas com- panies, Many Internationatists were present. Mr, Tomlinson made a few remarks introductory to the resolutions whicn he had to offer, and read @ letter trom Mr. W., L. Duft, our Consul at Glasgow, Sco land, tm which the writer said that in that city the as works had recently been purchased by the gov- ernment, and were now conducted so that the peo- ple were supplied with light at the cost of produc- tion, and tnat this system had succeeded admirably. THE RESOLUTIONS Were then read and adopted:— Whereas a resolution has been introduced in the Board of Aldermen of the city of New York, requesting the Legisla- ture of the State of New York to repeal an act authorizing certain parties to manufacture and sell gas, to be used for the purpose of Lighting ‘all that portion of ihe exty of New lying north of the centre line of Seventy-ninth street, all the Central Park in its entire width and lengt; and whereas the repeal of said act will require the adjust- ment of all legal and equitable claims for expenses incurred by the company, formed under act; therefore, be it wed, That the Mayor, Aldermen and the city of New York are respectful! Pe ES pe theolty of New York to supply it citizens with. light at com. est, aad it ie wil rolleve thon tree, Agra aes Silty: Instruct our Senelors and menbers af Assembly to ime troduce lature of the State of New York, an act to memo- that will enable the city of New York under such regulations aa the Lonorable the Legitlature may deem proper, to supply Its eltizens with gas for lighting the city. Mr. Davis was chosen temporary chairman. A motion was made that Mr. Tomlinson be permanent chairman and was carried. Mr. Tomlinson said that the meeting was the beginning of a great movement—it was an offshoot of the “Forlorn Hope.” 1t first meant to secure free gas, then free railroads, free public buildings, and then the public domain given back to the people. He was confident of success, They must succeed. All Amert- cans were egotistic, fond of applause; but there was someining above applause. When a mother has @ beautiiul child, which de- lights every one who sees it, she asks no praise for herself. She sees peopie wholly engaged im admiring the child. When an_ artist, having access %0 all the riches of ar. proguced in the past, creates a work of such sur] beauty that when he sees a crilic stand- ing before 1t when it is at length unveiled enrapt by mute wonder at ita perfectness, at the accom- phanment of such a glorious thing, he cares not for praise for himself. He sees the resuit of his toil and endeavor receiving it all, and is satistiied to have made good use of the power that was in him. So, if in this move we can drop all desire for per- sonal advancement and press on until our object 18 attained, and in the graufication of the result lose all sense of individuality, it will prove even 80 much a blessing to us as We now imagine, And if I live long enough I shall see that day. A resolution was offered making the name of the organization THE CITIZENS’ ANTI-MONOPOLY ASSOCIATION. This was opposed on the ground that the meeting was called simply to secure cheap gas, but Mr. Tom- linson explained that the movement had taken a wider scope than at first anticipated, and he was giad that it nad. He did not fully understand what internationalism and communism were, but trom what he did understand he was sure that deep down in the hearts of the Internationalists, the Communists and the Forlorn Hope was the same bellef m liberty and in the free right of the people to the earth and its gifts. They all recognized no inequality among men except that of nature, (Ap- piause,) The resolution was passed. On motion of Mr. ROSENBERG, Mr. A. FE. Hussy was elected as Secretary, A committee was ap- pointed pro tem., to prepare a platform expressing the object of the organization, composed of Messrs, W. J. A. Lynch, Isaac Rosenberg, Francis McGuire, and the officers of the meeting. Speeches were made by Messrs. Theodore Banks, Davis and Colonel Beeny, and the meeting ad- journed, the next assembling to be appointed by the chairman and announced through the columns of the HERALD, A delegation from an uptown association for the reform of the gas supply was present. The following PETITION TO THE LEGISLATURE has been prepared by Mr. Tomlinson and has al- ready been signed by a very large number of sub- stantial men:— To THR HONORABLE THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE ov NEW YORK ‘We petitioners respectfully represent that there are in the city of New York a great many public buildings unoccupied after the hours of daily toil, and that if made free to the pub- Iie the people would be attracted to them, become informed on subjects of public concern and so instructed as to dimin- ish unwise and corrupt legislation and the election of bad men to oflice, They would strengthen the press py furniah- ing additional topics of discussion and by making those who Iisten more anxious to read. ‘There is no reason wity the people should not supply them- selves with gas without the intervention of monopolies, It is their franch'se and they should use it for their beneit at the Jeast possible expense. It is a8 much the function of govern- ment to supply light as water: ‘The streets belong to the citizens in the right at least of transit, Why should they not build railroads in their own interest and for their own convenience ? ‘A SURFACE RAILROAD ON BROADWAY, A surface railroad should be constructed on Broadway and other streets, to be extended indetinitely as the wants of the people might require, and the excess of receipts over expense appited to the reduction of fare and to the promotion of the comfort of passengers. By making the conductors policemen and the employes subordinates an immense police force coula be had without coat to the city. It is as much the right and province of the people to use their property for their best 1nterest as it is for individuals, Why suould not the government run railroads as well as the mails or aafl war ships? If the city of New York established railroads on this principie it wouid be the signal for building them in the same manner thoroughout the entire country, with great economy to te people. It is extimated phat more than one hundred millions of Gollars might be daved every year to the people of the United States by the universal adoption of this pl ‘That your honorable body will enact laws to enable th city ot New York to aupply ite extizens, under proper regula: tions, with free halls, light and transportation, your petition- era will ever pray, AQUATIC.
