From the same source we learn that Mr.. Mau-

with which observed lunar distances can be

taken. The April number of SiIliman's Jour.

CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO CANAL.

In the Senate on Friday, Mr., SILsBEE from
the Committee on Commerce, reported the bill
from the House making appropriations for the
Improvement Of certain harbors and clearing
out distractions in certain Rivers ofthe United
States for the year 1884, with sundry amend
ments; and the bill being under consideration
as in Committee of the Whole, and The amend
ments of the Committee having been gone
through with,
Mr. CHAMBERS moved to amend the bill by in
Producing a clause on the subject of the Ches-
apeake and Ohio Canal. He had been instruct
. ed TO move this by the State of Maryland, for
the purpose of completing certain contracts
He then moved to amend the bill by introducing
clause appropriating 100000 dollars to be
paid to the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Com
pany, In consideration of which, certain specified
commodities are to be transported free of
charge.
Mr. WRIGHT said, this amendment had been
presented to the Committee, but was deemed
moi 10 De relevant TO the character of the BILL
He hoped the amendment would not be appen-
; ded to the bill. 1t was merely an appropriations
Tor Canal, and Its introduction might hazard
the fatesof the whole BILL He was opposed to
appropriations of money on such considerations.
1t was represented that the work must stop I'M
less some further aid shoud be furnished; but, if
any appropriations We're to be made they ought
to be made on the grounds on which they had
originally been made. He said that one object
of this aid was to discharge debts:ethe Compa-
ny could now pay all their debts within $4,000
dollars
Mr.. FRELINGHuYsEN could not vote for this
amendment He could not answer his constit-
uents to 60 any further than he had gone. AL
ready million of stock had been subscribed
by the General Government. If our Commit
tees were instructed to look into this matter,
they would make proper report He could
not sustain the amendment
Mr.. CLAYTON expressed hope that his friend
from Maryland would not press the subject
Mr.. CHAMBERS made some reply, with view
TO sustain the application as founded in justice.
MIR. CLAY made some remarks on the char
scter OF the work, and expressed his intention
10 vste for it.
