:which

was-postponed on Fridiy till tUiB 'ftftei'noon, was resumed at 2£ o'clock, and though it is now dark, is still going on. It was opened by motion of Mr. Hughes to postpone the whole Robject indefinitely. I wrote you the other day that the judiciary committee, to which the memorial of the canal holders praying either payr^ tuenl for the canal or permission to, submit the matter to some competent court, was referred, had been discharged, from further consideration. This was n6W formally, though actually tll6 fact. Mr.) Hughes, chairman of that committee,* had asked that, if the matter were to be investigated, Mr, Stearns Fi-iher, who was familiar, with the whole history of the canftl, should /be appointed cle^jc^Bhe committee. The Senate refused the request, and Mr. Hughes said that he regarded that as tantamount to a discharge of the committee from (urther attention to the memorial.' His motion, this afternoon, he said, ivas made for the purpose of testing lhe fon.ie of the Senate a^.to an investigation. It was* debated by several members,'wlio traveled over pretty much the same ground as .that ^of .Jlie debat^ of which you havealreatty been informed.! Mr. Urown of.Jackson reargued the-But-* ler Bill cenlracf,.and Mr. Gray oFfcandolph, Mr. :Hooper and others angued other points of the intertangled qiiistion, and fiflally.Mr. -tlarv^r D.

Mr. Hamilton, of Boone, thought it Ijest jiot'to postpone indefinitely tihfifltMMl^l^atio of tli& nj(Cmoriai, ^^n^g^obr nals had denounced us as "repu3iators'|for not paying for the canal, and if we treated the memorial in this cavalier way, the#. would have some pretext for saying that we were indisposed to act fairly, fhe better way would be to investigate the matter by the Co»nmiltee?. and.Jet their answer go upon tlie jourhals arttf- to the public as our reason for refusing the petition. The question was taken, and the memorial postponed for goiod arid all. The ayes

noes weri not called for.

This ends the memorial business and the direct action of the Legislature as to the resumption of the canal., ishould have stated at the outset that the motion of Hughe* to postpone, was divided so.as,to apply separately to eafiii 6f the four.proposition embraced ja the canal question, 1st, the memorial, ,2n|l,i|he resolutions of Brown opposing the payment of all bonds( old as well as new, amendment providing for the bonds redeemed bv Gov.: Baker, and declaring that the old bonds of lS3t should be paid, aftd 4th, theconsti4uts6oal:anien^meiit ..o£.

HOUSE. .,-"-1

WASHINGTON,

January

17.

Mr. "Washburne, of Wisconsin, from the .Committee on Appropriations, reported the regular appropriation bill, which was Jmade a spatial order for Tuesday.

Mr. Butler of Massachusetts, offered a resolution authorizing the President to appoint three Commissioners to examine and leport as to the distribntion of aid granted by the government to the Pacific and other railroad companies, what persons have derived benefit therefrom, and to what extent and in what manner referred

The House then resumed consideration of the bill which was under discussion last week, to secure proper treatment of cattle in'transit by railroads.,

Mr. Porter asked leave to have a letter read from Professor David Clark, of Hartford, Conn., testifying as to the ability, truthfulness and general integrity of «adet Smith, colored, at West Point. ..&•

Mr. Qfx objected. At half-past one the House went into Committee of the Whole, Mr. Scofield in the ehair, and resumed consideration of ,the legislative, executive and judicial Appropriation bill.

Mr. Armstrong moved to increase the salaries of nine Circuit Judges from $5,000 to $6,500. He argued in support of the amendment..

After considerable discussion on the amendment to make the salaries of Circuit Judges $4,500, and the amendment to make them $0,500, both were rejected, and the salaries continued at $5,000.

Mr. Armstrong moved to fix the salaries of Distjrict Judges at six, five, four and three thousand, and classifying them by States and districts. Rejected.

Mr. Fai nsworth moved to redi.ee the salary of the Solicitor of Internal Revenue fro.ii "$5,000 to $3,500, and ked why it was that that officer was receiving more than his superior, Solicitor of the Treasury. Rejected.

Mr. Dawes moved an amendment, directing the payment to John W. Douglass, Assistant Commissioner of Internal Revenue^ the difleience between his salary and that of the Commissioner, for November and December, 1870, while be acted as Commissioner, Agreed to.

Mr. £!a effered a similar amendment appl' to Samuel A. Duncan while he perfo nied.. thediit of Commissioner of pt^tenui. T.'

Mr. Cox suggested as to allowance of Gen. Dent in the absence of the President, he did nq$ believe in paying any subordinates for running the White House while the President was oh a philandering expedition through the country. It was not right. It was not standiug on the ancient ways of the government. The old Presidents never deserted their post, but staved in Washington during the summer peats and winter cold.

Mr. Hoar remarked that the second President,of the United States had been absent from Washington seven months.

Mr- Cox knew that was dnrfng the sickness., of his family. None of the Presidents had gone philandering round the country to Long Branch, to horse races, smoking all the contraband cigars that they could get.

Mr. Maynard recited the example of Gen. JacksoP) the greatest of all Presidents, who us£d to travel home to Tennessee in a private carriage, taking weeks for the trip. .. Mr. Cox was sorry that the gentleman from Tennessee did not follow the example of Gen. Jackson. [Laughter.]

Mr. Sargent called attention to the ex* ample of Capt. Tyler, the smallest of all the Presidents.

Mr. Cox was. sorry that gentlemen present copied such a very small example. [Laughter.] The good old Democratic President^ did once in a while go home to see their families, in a quiet way, but nevei' made public exhibition of them.

Mr- Daww—Now we have heard all and I hope all, we will have a vote. Mr. Cox, continuing—Who runs the Executive department when the President is fa way? Must we give extra pay to Gen. Dent, or any of the family? We all know that they are well provided for. [Laughter Must we give to Gen. Babcock, or any other military people, who not only take care of the Executive but come here to instruct us in Congressional duties? If so, how much must we give them for their executive and and how much for their legislative labors?

Mr. Benton—I rise to a point of order. The gentleman has talked longer than five minutes, and is out of order besides, [laughter.]

The chairman sustained the point of Order. Mr. Holman offered alike amendment in

favor of

James A. Morgan, late Chief

Clerk to the Commissioner of Patents. Mr. Ela's amendment to Mr. IIol man's amendment was rejected.

THE HORNET EXPEDITION. Conflicting reports leave us in doubt as to the "fate of the Hornet expedition, but the mass of evidence seems to indicate that Ryan and his men met with disaster after landing, though the vessel escaped to sea without injury. Confining themselves wholly to assertions, jthe Cuban agents here are positive of the safety of the expedition They point out that the Havana account places the landing on the 12th, while they are in receipt of positive information that it took place safely On the 7th. They also say that the Hornet left Aspiinwall on the 31st ult., which would enable her to reach the Ciiban coast long before the 12th.

DISTINGUISHED ARRIVAL.

Among the passengers who arrived yesterday by the City of Merida, from Havana, was Senora Ces pedes, wife of the Cuban President, who was captured while roceeding to this country, near Guahaja ulet, and released by the Spaniards on condition that she would immediately leave the Island. A large number of prominent Cubans went on board to welcome her. She reports that the Cubans are determined to continue the conflict, and are sanguine of success.

METHODIST BOOK CONCERN. I There is an intimation that the Committee of Inquiry into the affairs of the Methodist Book Concern, in executive session yesterday, concluded to drop the inquiry entirely, and^ that the proceedings will be quickly terminated, I

THE NATHAN MURDERER. I There is scarcely a doubt that the. Nathan murderer will soon be arrested. Judge Cardoza, in an interview with a reporter, tells the startling story that Col. Whitely, Chief of the United Suites Secret Service, openly declares that' the murderer is known to detectives, and will be brought to justice at an early day. In fact, no avenue of escape is open to him except self-destruction. Superintendent Kelso, by an evasive reply, given to a reporter, threw strong ground for belief in the actual existence Of such a state of: things, and putting all the facts together^' and taking into consideration the. history of the case, there is a complete chain of circumstances pointing to. the fact that the murderer is known, and his whereabouts discovered and established,

HOLLAND TESTIMONIAL.

The Holland testimonial promises to be the greatest affair of the kind ever known. Every theater in New York and Brooklyn gives a matinee oo Thursday the 19th, and there is to be an afternoon ind evening performance on Saturday the 2ist at the Academy of Music. Great numbers of tickets are already sold, a single New York club having taken 300. Fechter, Booth, Wallack, dramatic companies, and all the orchestras Ih the city have volunterred. Theater arid other expenses given free-, Managers of theaters in other cities hevesent word that they will give matinees on the Bameday. Several of the actors who have volunteered also give $100 each, for boxes at the grand final performance at the Academy.

OUTRAGES IN NOBTH CABOLIHA. Special dispatches show that Outrages in North Carolina still continue. There is a gang of outlaws, it seems in Robeson county who keep the citizens continually in a State of terror. On Saturdry a man named Taylor was shot and killed by a squad of these, while a company of Federal troops was only two hundred yards distant. The murderers escaped. There seems to be no remedy for this dreadful state of affairs, except arming citizens and a general hunting down of the assassins,

TEMPERANCE.

The New York Pastors' Association last night adopted a resolution Earnestly entreating ana respectfully requesting all preachers .and publishers to so represent to the people, the Christian duty of temperance in the fourth week in June and the fourth week in December, to aid in checking the social usages which lead to the desecration of the4th of July and New Year's day, and petitioning Congress in behalf of the District of Columbia and Territories, under its jurisdiction, and the several State Legislatures in behalf of their several States, to enact suitable laws prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors on Saturday, election days, the 4th of July and all other holidays.

MILWAUKEE,

Jan. 17.—The admission

of four out of seven representatives from Georgia to-day brings the political affairs of that State to the front again. Various Senators elect are here wjaiting the Slow movements of the Senate Judiciary Committee. There appears to be a probability of two contests before the next House. Certificate has not been is sued for the fifth or Augusta District. Dr. Tift is the Democratic claimant, and Major Whitely the Republican. The latter also aspires a* Senator elect to a seat in that chamber until the 4th of March next. Both gentlemen are the candidates of their respective parties for the present and next Congress. The Governor has not vet decided to issue a certificate, and will it is believed, set the election aside as void. In one county the ballot boxes were destroyed by a mob, and in another the judges were forced to Bign a false return at tbc peril of their lives In all probability a new election will be ordered by Governor 'Whitely, who claims that but for the violence indicated his majority would be more than 200.
