CONGRESS.

In the House on Wednesday, after the pas
sage OF private bill, the Appropriation bill was
taken up in Committee Of the Whole, and the
debate on the Senate amendment appropriating
900 for the New York custom-house was
continued at great length by Messrs Mex con,
Bovine, Reynolds, Fillmore, G. Davis, Cave
Johnson Profit, &c.
Mr.. Roosevelt proposed a provlso, that the
account should be authenticated by the proper
officers of the Treasury. This proviso he mod.
fled, so that il should read, that such a sum
should be paid for completing the New Yo'k
custoul-house as should be found due by the ac-
counting officers, provided il should not exceed
S28,200. This amendment prevailed. On
the question of agreeing to the Senate amend
ment, as amended by the committee, the vote
was taken by telers, when 81 voted in the
affirmative, and sc in the negative
To the Senate amendment approprlating
one thousand dollars for removing the statue
Of Washington, Mr. Kem proposed another
adding the sum of $4,000 for constructing the
pedesal-lhe choice of the artist and the plan Of
the work to be determined by the President and
Heads of Departments. After a brief debate,
in W hich the mover, Mr.. Pendeton, ]. r In
gersoll, and Wise, participated, the amendment
of Mr. Kem was rejected, and the amendment
Of the Senate was carried.
Other amendments were carried without dis
cussion, till that restoring the salaries of the
Charges to Belgium, &c. were reached, which
gave rise TO another discussion of considerable
length.

RUMORS..

In the solitude of our editorial sanctum, from
which we do not often emerge except for the
purpose Of indispensable exercise, we are often
amused though we must say that we are as
often awfully surprsed-at the reckless nven,
tons and unfounded rumors, with which we
find our exchanges are often enlivened We
are grateful for the amusement we receive, but
we would willingly forego il TO escape the evil
of mischievous romancing. To contradict all
the rumors with respect to doings in Washing
ton, would be an endless task, and we have suf-
fcien confidence in the intelligence Of the
People at distance to suppose It's perlolman &c
would be supererogatory. These rumors about
all matters of Cabinet conferences, OF Senate
debates in Executive session, Of opinions eX-
pressed in private conversation by members of
the Administration and by members Of Con-
9ress, on all matters of public interest and phi
vate gossip, originate here, and are promulgated
invariably on the assumption that they have
been received from authentic sources. Our at
tontion was attracted few days since TO series
of editorial notices in contemporary, published
at no great distance furnishing, in lack Of other
matter, half column of city gossip. To the
letter writers of distant papers we concede
without demur the privilege of inventing gos-
sip, or OF propagatng the inventions of their
waggish friends. The wags who inv mt and
the dupes who publish their inventions, we
leave undsturbed, to the exercise of their re-
spective vocations 1t is their vocation-and
their communications are anonymous. Playing
ghosts in the dark, they may utter what auracu-
lar sentences they please, without the fear of
responsibility. But we hope that our neighbors,
who are known, neither dtsIe the credit of in
venting idle tales, wish the contempt OF
propagating them.
