This was personal resolution AIMED AT CERTAIN BENATORS, and to adopt it would do injustice to them unless the recom- mendations made by other Senators were also made public. Mr. CONKLING said he bad offered the resolution as a Means of showing the truth or falsity of the charge so otten made that he had been the recipient of a xreat deal ot Ex- ecutive patronage and was hanging on to the skirts of power to preserve it. He had no unworthy personal motive, and was quite willing that all the recommendations to oiliee yy all the Senators should be publisned; but he would government would be $25,000,000, provided iron ships shall be constructed to the extent of 600,000 tons, The allowance to wooden vessels would be additional, A Question for American Artists. That innocent old chap, senator Hamlin, who owns that he Knows nothing about the subject, has introduced a bill requiring the Secretary of the In- terior to employ Fisk Mills, son of Clark Mills, the sculptor, to execute a group of statuary illustrating the late epoch of American mstory, The bill 1s hkely to stir up the indignation of the art commu- nity of the country, as there is a strong demand tor fair and free competition for the embellishment of ‘. ‘We ure toid that the Collector has the direct aispomtion of those matters. To be sure he fog syd who the power to dispose of the Collector if he insists on maintaining the system? Mr. Leet obtained his appoint- ment in consequence of a letter of recomurendation written for him to the Collector by the Presiaent. Will you make the people believe that another letter written by the President could not have DESTROYED THAT SCANDALOUS ABUSE? Sir, it the President of the United States was against that abuse and ‘Tom Murphy for It, there was a very simple way of correcting it. ‘Men have been dispossessed of their oflices for causes far leas connected with the interesta of the public service.

Mr. SouURs then read from his Chicago speech, stating he could not support General Grant if renommated, because of ala usurpation of power in the St Domingo matter, and | said he till believed that to re-elect General Gramt would be | to sustain « gross and dangerous usurpation.

To the Mariner, no matter from what port he hails or where bound—whether navigating mid-ocean or entering home or toreign port—the Herald Almanac will prove a safe and unerring guide to avoid all recently discovered and re- ported dangers. Under the head of “Mariner's Guide” is collated the “Notices to Mariners” {ssued during the year 1871 from the Trinity House, Admiralty, London; the Hy- drographic Office, Washington, and the various Navigation Boards throughout the world, specially published in the Herald, from whose columns the “Guide” has veen com-: piled, The warnings, directions and information therein contained will make the Herala Almanac almost as indispen- sable to the pilot and the mariner as tne qhart, the sextant and the compass. In addition to this invatuable guide, and heading {tin the order of its own peculiar usefulness, is given well cut diagrams of the weather signals adopted by the government at Washington for the benefit of our mer- chant marine and naval service, with explanations of the same, ‘The information thus imparted renders the Herald Almanac a necessity in the hands of mariners at sea, on Fiver or lake embraced within the American Continent. Shipping Notes. The work on the new steamers now building at the yard of Messrs Cramp & Sons, Kensington, Pennsylvania, is pro- gressing satisfactorily, and it 1s thought they will all be completed within the period limited by the contract. The ribs of two are already up, nearly a thousand men are busy at work, making that point on the river front one of special Public interest at this time, and giving it feature of unu- suaPactivity. The names of the vessels will be the Pennsyl- vania, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, They will be butt exclu- sively of American iron, and put togother by American workmen. The machinery will also be American, both in design and execution, and altogether it 18 determined to make this company true to its name in every respect, Marine Disasters.
