Ato Iacrease she Ransion of the Widow of ex-President Tyler Passes the Senate, HOUSE. Special Dispatch to The Bee. WasuiNGToN, December 156—The house passed the biil reported fromthe judiciary committee to fix the boun- dary line between New York and Con- necticut, as agreed Upon by the com- missioners of the two states. Mr. Bel'ord, of Color do, intro. duced a bill providing that in the place of the legal teaders of denomin- ations less than five dollsrg may be Ty or hereafter pre- < redemption, the secre- T3 of the treasury shall substitu'e notes of some character, bu:of high- er denomination, to the amouat, as nearly as practical, to the standard silver dollar coined, and that hereuf- ter no treasury note of less denomin- ation than five dollars shall be issued. Lbe bill was referred. The morning hour of the house for the call of committees was dispensed with, and Mr. Wood proposed to call up the fanding bill, whereupon Mn Baker, of Iadiana, ant gonizexit wi h the tortification appropriation bill He called attention to the fact that four of the regular appropriation bills ted baen reported, and the public ousincss demanded that they should be passed by the house before the holi- days. Mr. Wood would huva liked to nave considered the fanding bill to- day, but would yield. A communication was received from the postmaster general asking an ap- propriation to supply tbe deficiency 10 the postal service for the current fiscal yesr. The largest amount demanded 18 an appropriation of $50 000 for the sompensation of clerks in the office of the first assistant postmsster g-neral, «d is demanded by the natural in- crease in the postal business. A bl was passcd increasing the peusion of Mrs. Julia Gardner Tyler, widow of the late President Tyler. The bill reported by the committe= ot defonse aud fortifications wae then taken up. Speaker Randall, from the floor, quired what it was proposed to do vi‘h cine which were authorized by this act. Mr. Buker sa d on purpose to pro- tect New York and Philadelphis in aase of & fureign war. He believed -hat more guns should be constructed, but it was & Juestion of exp-diency whether they should be constructed in the expiring momens of this congress or wait unril a new congress came i Mr. Randall had no apprehensions of a foreign war, and he did not be- lieve our children or grand children =ould bave to contend agsinst a for- power. Bir. McCook ca'led attention to the number of years we had been at war since we becsme s nation—referring to he war of 1812, the war with Mexico, wnd the late war, and said, cou ting the Indian ware, that we bad almost ~een perpetually at war. If we had a war to-day, any third-class vesscl could enter New York harbor aud levy «wech centribations as she wished, or lay the city in ashes, Me. Reed, of Maine, expressed the »pinion_that the condition of our sosst defenses was disgraceful in the extrems. Mr. Ellis that, representing a seabosrd city, orone that wss liable to artack, he would be derelict in futy if bedid not call attenti n to “he necessity of the improvement of ur fortifications. He quoted from Gen. Bennett’s reports to show that the largest gun in New York harbor was unable to resist a forcign vessel. There were known to be in existence seventy foreign vessels of war that could enter New York harbor and de- stroy property that would be worth a nundred times more than the works of defense. Referring to the view advanced that there was no dunger of war, Mr. Ellis called attention to the fact that there were species of war now 0 Earope, and no_man could eay it would not extend to this country. We were especially In danger of Spain, aud he hoped that the incoming ad- ministration would teach foreign pow- ara, and especially Spain, that Aweri- can commerce must be securs, and that the American flag must be re- spected wherever it floats. The general debate having contin- ued on the bill, Mr. Johnston, of Va.,moved to amend tae first para- gravh by increasing the amount from $100,000 to £5,000,000 as the sum for the protection, preservation and re- pair of fortifications, and by inserting the word ‘‘modification” before the word “‘protection. Mr. Blount made & polnt of order against the word *‘protection,” argu- ing that under it the whole system of fortificstions might be changed. Mr. Johnston explained that the only parpoge of the word was to per- mit the engineers’ depsrtment to work such alteratious in the embratures of ports a3 would admit of the breech- losding 12-irch guns, anthorized by the act, and ucless the modifications were made, there would be no place where guna could be located. The point of order was overruled and the amendment discassed on its merits, Mr. Randall opposed the amend- ment. He mid, uader cover of an ension, that this country was likely ‘to ‘be envagaged in war with some foreign power, the house was asked to find occasion for this expend- itare. If such an apprehension really existed, the smount proposed to be appropriated would be entirely inade- quate. Hesaid he had no apprehen- sion of foreiun war. He had hoped that the pelicy of the house on both sides would he against the increase of the sppropristion. In the last eam- both parties vied with the other making promises against increased sppropriations, and the policy of the house would most likely be indicated in it, and if rhe house showed a dis- position to increase the appropria- this early, then neither mide would come up to the pledges mads to tho American pecple. He went on to argue that it was a b.d precedent to to increase expenditures at the very threshhold of the coneideration of the appropriation bill. He hoped this hiuse would not do it. I the appro- ristion bl's were to beincreas=d, he oped it would be laft to those who came into the next cong The continuance of rain and the very cold weather in mber, lowersd the estilates of states bordering on the Missisaipp river. i CAPITAL NOTES, {Special Dispatch to The Bre, | The house committee on commerce witl to-dsy hear the committee of na- tional ship owners.

The house wou'd there'y commend itaelf to the further and uitimate cont se of the pi pla. Me. (Reed replied o Mr. Randall, anu referred to the p-r ipacity with which he had argned ernomy upon the house. He, tco, wesinfavor of nomy. Bat ecomy when pushed too far, might become parsimony. It was not economy, he argaed, to neg- lect the necessities of the g vernment. Proper defense would insure the Unired Srates against war. Mr. Randall said that the amend- ment proposed was notsuchas he would vote for, when science has not indicated to us that the guns were required. Mr. Cook bad no douht of Mr. Randall’s juflitafy skill, but he want- ed %o call attention to the fact that, Mr. Johnston, who reported this amendment, had & military reputa- tion seco-d tono man in thé coutrry, and that he was supported by all tae committed, with one exception. After some further dis2assion Mr. Johuston’s amendment was rejected by 90 to 58. The bill was subsequently reporied to the house and passed just as origin- ally reported from the appropriation committee, making the frst of the regular series of appropriation bills to pasy the house, M. Gibson, from the committes on Missisaippi levies, reported a bill ap- propriating 81,800,000 for the im- provement of the Missizs ppi river, under the dircetion of the accretary of war, aod in accordrnce with the rec- ommendations, plans, sp: ions and estimates maie under the super- vision of th Mssissipp: river commis- sion. It was ordered printed and re- committed. The house adjourned at 4:20 p m. SENATR, At one o'clock ilie senate proceeded to the coniideration of the education- ol bill and was addressed by Mr. Burns in its support, who was follow- ed by Mr. Morrill on the same. A'bill, proposing the retirement of legal tender notes, was introduced by Me. Hili, of Colorado, and referred to the committee on finance Mr. Pendleton introd United States —one to efficiency thereof, and ths other pro- hibition federal officers, claimauts sni contractors from making or ruceiviog vourribiatious: for poiitic Referred to the civil servies commit- tee. Mr. Callintroduced a resolution di- rectirg the judiciary commiitee 1o in- quire and report whether there had boen any illegal arrears under process of the United States courts, and woar leg slation is necessary to prevgt the abuse of power by such courts.© Tue resolution was Iaid on the table to en- able Mr. Call to muke a speech there- onat some fature time. On motion of Mr, Cockrell the senate took up the ssuae bill for the rlief of Semuel E Lowe, sppro- priating $4,750 to pay him for ser- vices aud exoenses as clerk of the territorial legislature of Kansas, in 1855. Mr. Ingalls proceeded to read somo of the most cbjection ble sections of the ende, when he was interrup'ed by M. Vest, who protested against a re- newal of the history of this outrage. id no people had ever been so -d as the people of his etate. Atthat time men had coms ir m the esst, from Plymouth church in the name of God to teich their slaves o i st them. They cims to carry out the teachings of thar old scoundrel, John Browa,who was hung at Harper's Ferry Heddinnd ihe the seuator from Kansasshould declare the people of Missouri imp irted their code of extracts to excite public hot- ror without let:ing it be known. Mr. Ingalls said he did not propose at thie period of the nation's bListory to eulogize John Brown, who was ecuted on the 2nd of December, 1859. The nation oon after took up the flag which he laid down at Harper's Ferry, and bore 1t 1n triumph for four years to Appomattox court house. John Brown had died four years too soon. As to the extracts from e code which he had read, he had distinctly stated tuat it was the code of Missouri, with certain embellishments and decora tions, which had been added to har- monize with the state of aff.irs which were supposed to exist. He had no authority to make a cods that never was recognized by the paople or held by any department of the government to be bndingon that people. There was no warrant for it. M:. Edmunds remarked fhat he was | begiuning to be interested in the case since the name of John Brown had been introduced. The name of John Brown would go down as an honest, though perhaps a misguided lover of liberty. His body lies mouldering in the ground, bat his soul, thank Gd, goes marchingon. Hathen pointed out in the act authorizing the legislature, a provision that expenditures should not exceed the appropriation. To this Mr. Cockrill replied, citing bumerous cases where the appropria- tions had been exceeded, notwith- standing such limitationa notably in the construction of public buildir gs What might have proved a spicy and interesting debate on the Kausas territorial troubles, was cut short by a motion by Mr. Allison t: go into executive session, whizh, without dis- posing of the bill uuder consideration, wasat 3:45 agreed to, and when tho doors were opened the semate ad- joarned.
