Mr. Randall, from the Committee on Appropriation*, reported a resolution tnstructi&g the Commitcee On Military Affairs to take into immediate consideration tho pay aud allowances of tho officers of tho army and to report whether ia any, and it so in what, cases such pay and allowances should bo redueed. ,I.a connection with it ho said that while tho Committee on Appropriations desired to mako redactions as few as possible, yet, with oatire justice to the army and all other branches of tba Government, it was not its desire to interfere in any way with business which another CommiUee of the House msy have before them. He therefore could ssy that whenever the Committee on Appropriations desired to reduce the number of employes,or change their pay it would do so only sfter tho fullest conference with the Committee which had special charge of the subject. The "esolution was agreed to.

Mr. Hopkins, from the Select Committee on the Centennial Celebration, reported a bill appropriating #1,500,• 000 to complete the Centennial building and other preparations for the celebration.

The bill wss referred to the Committee of the Whole on the StaCo of the Union.

Mr. New offered a resolution declaring thst the fraternal feeling and good will now existing in all sections .01^ the country, aad tho .manifest disposition and purpose of tho men who battled against each other in the late civil war, to join hands as one peoplo ia the future, is tbs most auspicious ushering in of the Centennial year, and that while the people are thus making all honest efforts to live together in pesce, and to uphold the same flag of an undivided country, their representatives in Congress should do no set, Whioh would unnecessarily disturb tho patriotic coueord low existing, and increasing nor wantonly revive the bitter memories of the past Ho insisted on having a vote taken by yeas and nays, and it was accordingly so taken, and resulted in a resolution being unanimously adopted. Yeas, 198 nays, none.

Mr. Fort tried to offer a resolution declaring that in eonsideration of the especial harmony expressed in the resolution just adopted, wouaded Union soldisrs ought not to he removed from their positions in the Hous*, which they might be qualified to fill, but the Speaker ruled he had not the fioor for that purpose.

Mr. Holman suggested that the sub~

i'ect

should be left to the Committee on iillitary Affairs. He was opposed to the multiplication of the select committees, inasmuch as the Committees on Foreign Affairs and Military Affairs to which were referred that portion of tho President's message in regard to depredations, could not act jointly on tho subject

Mr. Reacan advocated tbe resolution, and said the abuses of Texas would not be able longer to restrain the peoplo of that country from taking up arms in their own defence, a thing which may be greatly deplored, taking into consideration the danger of international complications. Ho said the committee cught to be chtffged with the whole question.

Mr. Hancock also advocated the resolution, and spoke of the necessity of avoiding war and maintaining peaco on the frontiers. He spoke of the raids of Mexican marauders to a distance of 75 or 125 miles into Texas. He was not oompleining of tho government of Mexico, for ho realised the comparative inability of that government to preserve order aad peace on its borders. Tho people of Texas were disposed to act with the greatest forbearanco towards Mexico, but they thought means mi|ht bo found to afford adequate protection to them. 3

Th© Difficulty About a Froy. N. J., Jan. S.—For somtif time pasl the Pennsylvania Railroad Company has kept an engine on the track at Hopewell to prevent tho Dela* war* and Bouad Brook Railway Company from laying a frog and securing a crossing on the spprosch of trains. The engine would run oa tho siding, resuming its former plaee whon the trains had passed. Last evening, soon as the engine passed on tho siding, about 200 laborers in the employ of tho Delswar* and Bound Brook road suddenly appeared and tore up the siding, and built a temporary strusture to enable them to go oa with the work. Tho Pennsylvania road officials being informed of the set, sent sn engine and broke through this temporary structure, but in doing so it ran off tbe tra^k and was knocked down the hill, In tho meantime the frog was put down and a Bound BrOok engine placed on it and^ chained down to a tree with imwer^ chains and a barricade of rails and Vood built aio-wd.
