REPORT OF THE SKLECT COMMITTER, WassinaroN, December 16.—The bill presented in congress to-day by the joint select committeo on the de- cline of American shipping contains theee ecotions: Firat, that no vessel engayed in commerce with the domin- fou of Canada shall ba subjecs to ton- nage or duty, nor shall consular cer- tificates be rcquired from the same; second, that individual liability of ship owners shall be limited to the proportion any or all debts or ilabili- ties which his u.dividual share of the veesel bears to the whole; third, that when any vessel, whother ateam or sail, shall be coustructed and equipped in the United States for foreigu irado, inoluding trade between the Atlantic and Pacifis ports of the United Staters, the owner or owners of such vessels shall be exn'itied to recsive and collect from the United States a drawbick or the sume equal in amount to the duty which would have been coliccted upon imported materials of iike descrip- tion und of equal quality with American materials used in the construction and cquipment, engines, boilers and other appurtenauces of such steam or sail vessel; provided that on ascertalning such drawback the duties on such tron or steel material shall be computed on iron and ateel advanced in manufacture not bayond the point of plates, angles, bars and rods; and provided farther that this section shall apply only to vessels oommenced after the passage of this act. The minority raport is signed by Senator Vest and Roapresentatives McLane and Cox. The report de- clarer that the war which began in 1861 was not in any ssnse the cause of the commersial phenomana under consideration. It was acocelerated by the courss of everts which, if the oir- ocumstances ex{sting from 18565 to 1861 had continued, would have b:en ivev- itable even had there been no war, It wculd ba a'great mistake to infer (is many thus have given the testimoay befors jrins comuwitiee szem to tufer) that 1f all obstructions and bardex: upon tho instrumentality of 8o mush of the comm~ree of the Uaited S:ates a3 portains o the ocean were removed, we should bs again at no _distant day a greal ship building and ship us'ng nation. Such a result 1s impos:ible. T¢ all obstructions were removed, and if tho suiys of the most improved pattern aud modern constroction and fully equipped were given us and placed as free giits at our wharvey, it 18 doab:ful if our ocean commerce and ehipping would be materlally relieved and developed. Oae reason of a gen eral nature againet such a revivalis the preoccupation of our pecple in other more attractive and ramunsra- tive employments. It is not likely that avy grost iaoresse or ravival of our ship-buildiog and shippiag inter- ests will take place until we have reeched & maximum production in our lices of labor, especialiy in agrioul ture. When that point reached and our energi devoted to other pursuits ocean may have its olden atirac.ion and remuneratfon for ouv people. Acother more practisal and tangibie reason 1s thie: all trads and commerce is essontially barter, produst being given fur produss and servisy for ser- vies, lu order to sell we must buy aud ia order to buy we must acll, and he who will iot buy eannot eell and he who will uoi sell cinnot bay. Agein, ships have bosen traly called tha children, not the parente, of com- merce. The merchant martus languishes for lack of libarty. I.srevival must come from enlarvement of our freedom, The minority, while c)ncarring with the report as to measures reported by the committee, desire also to present two other propositions; firat, for ad- mission treo of duty of all materials finished and psrfected and ready to b» put together in a sbip, and second, forfree admission to American reglstry of ships buiit abroad, CAPITAL NOTES, Special Dispatch to Tas Bux, STAR ROUTE CONTRACTS, WasHINGTON, Dac, 15, —Tnough the contractato bs made in January are for star routo wmail service on 844,000 miles of routes, principslly in the west and south, cot more than 100 Robt.

The French spoiliation bill paseed, and tho senate resumed the consider- nu'zlm of the Pendleton civil service bill. Senator Mi'lor said the genatorfrom Gaorgia faared that this bill, if passed, would tend to eatablish & life tenure of office, but in faot iz would simply pat back the tenure of appointed cfii cors to whera it was during the fisat fifty years of our national life. Senator Georgs thought the pass. age of thia bill would inaugurate a most important and necossary reform, for the ovila which it sought to remedy were of the most momentous charac:er affacting deep'y the purity of our gov- ernmental admiristration and even thaeatening the stability of our iusti. tutlons, Rapublicans wora now: so thoroughly conrcious of the guil: of political assesementa that they oome to ocongress on the firat day of the session and by their presldent acked abolishing postage on mceond olass matter, Mr. Roberon (N.
