Congress-The Navy, Sc.


The dolngs of Congress are singularly uninterest-
ing to-day. The languor induced by the excessive
heat seems to peryade every apartment and avenue
OF the capitol, and debate, which RACES here in all
conditions OF the atmosphere, has become dull and
heavy TO degree unusual in this most incapa-
bic Congress, The heat is oppressive beyond all pre-
cedent The Senate chamber is almost insuferable
The Representative hall is much cooler, and the air
less impure but even there the mercury rises near
ly TO the top OF the thermometer.
The Senate spent the morning hour principally on
private DIS The tariff debate is now going on
Inc report oil the committee of conference on the
dlsagreements oil the two Houses on the NAVY ap-
propnatlen bill was concurred in The point Of DIFF
ference between the two Houses was IN regard IN
the personnel of the navy The Senate moposed 10
keep the officers at the number which might be in
service al the end of the present session The
House insisted upon bringing them down TO the num-
Der in service on the LIST of January lS4l The com
mltee compromised the matter, and reported that
the commissioned officers should not exceed the
the midshipmen are to be kept at the standard of
lS4l. This cuts of the large number Of nominations
now before the Senate. Promotions hereafter can
be made only vacancies occur by deaths, resigna-
tons or dIsmissals, and not another midshpman
can be appointed for two, and probably three years
TO come.
A majority of the select committee of the House
reported the bill reducing the pay of members of
Congress and Federal officers with sundry unim-
portant amendments and after some conversation,
1t was referred TO the Committee of the Whole,
where it will probably sleep the the sleep Of death
which took the same direction The private calen-
dar was then taken up, and the day is to be spent
upon 1t. The report from the committee OF con-
ference Will probably be concurred in.

RowDY CABMEy.-We respectfully call on the
Mayor to take away the licenses Of cab No. I3i,
and two others that stopt yesterday at the corner of
Ann and Nassau streets, between half past six and
seven o'clock in the evening; where, although it
was the Sabbath, the three drivers engaged in
shameful brawl and fight with drunken sailor,
who was beaten, bruised, cut, struck when he was
lying helpless on the ground and treated in the most
disgustingy brutal manner whilst the cab drivers
cursed and blasphemed, like fends for nearly half
an hour, and encouraged their companion to con-
tnue. Not policeman, day officer, any ore
else was near to keep the peace. Shameful!
