TWENTY. EIGHTH CONGRESS-,
FRIDAY, MAY "a, 1874.
SENATE.
FIRST SESSION

communication was received from the War
| Department, conveying report from the Topo
| graphical Bureau upon the expense and practical
| bility of improving the Mississippi river at the
point called the Little Chain.'
| Also one from the Treasury Department upon
the relative value of gas and oil for lighthouses.
The experiments are favorable to the former, but
nothing decisive can be reported.
! Memorials in favor of the annexation of Texas
were presented by Messrs. BREESE from H.,
JARNAGIN from Tenn, WOODBURY. from
Boston, HANNEGAN from Ia, and TAPPAN,
| from GAINESVILLE, Ohio. Mr.. TAPPAN said that
| the chief or only reason urged in the petition
which he presented was that unless we took
| Texas now, Great Britain would, and this impo-
] stion Mr.. T. said had been indusrionsy played
| off upon the country 1t was evident from the
| letters of that distinguished patriot, Gen. jack
son, that he had been imposed upon by the same
argument, and if it had not been for the publica-
ton of the treaty and accompanying documents,
we should have had petitions from all parts of the
Union, urging the ratification of the treaty on this
| ground. The country owes me debt of graft
tude, said Mr.. Tappan, for causing the publica-
ton Of the documents, Senators laughed.)
Mr.. BAYARD submitted a resolution, which
was adopted, nquring of the Secretary of the
Navy into the manner In which Fitch, Brothers
| & Co., had performed their contracts as agents
for the navy, at Marseilles, since the year 1882
the cause Of their dismissal, and all papers con-
nected Herewith.
| ARMY INFRINGEMENT BILL.
| Mr.. HANNEGAN'S resolution, that mes
sage be sent to the House, requesting them to
return that bill for action by the Senate, was re-
jected by vote of 81 to 16
| Mr.. JOHNSON submitted resolution, which
was adopted, that the Committee on Commerce
inquire into the expedency of removing certain
distractions from the mouth of the river Laporte,
placed there during the invasion Of Louisiana by
the British in 1914
| Mr.. BBEESE, resolution that the President
Of the United States be requested, if not ncom-
patible with the public interests. to cause the
steamship Erie to visit the principal ports in the
northern lakes during the ensuing summer.
| Mr.. WOODBRIDGE took occasion to remark
upon the fact that the only passage through the
straits, connecting Lakes Huron and Erie, brings
all sail vessels directly under the guns of for
eign fort, and that it was believed to be practical
| Bile to make channel on the American side.
A bill was passed making Lafayette, La, port
| of entry.
The Senate then disposed Of several private
bills.
| The ratification bill, as further amended by
! the House, was passed.
The post Office bill, from the House, was read,
| and referred to the Committee on Finance,
The Senate at O'Clock passed into Executive
session.

CHESAPEAKE AND ONO CANAL.-We regret to
learn that breach occurred in this canal on We'd
nesday night in the outlet to Staub's mill, about
three or four miles above Georgetown, which
will have the effect of suspending the navigation

taken by the officers Of the company for its
repair, and we suppose by Monday it will again
be passable for it's active and increasing trade.

SERIOUS AFFRAY, ASSAULT, &c.---An assault
of rather aggravated nature-both in the man
ner of attack and the circumstances leading
thereto-was made on Thursday evening last
the 23d instant, upon the person of Charles
. II. Winder, clerk in the State Department, Ly
Henry J. Drayton, clerk in the Navy Depart
ment. 1t appears, from the information we have
received, that Drayton and Winder had previous
to this affair been on terms of familiar intimacy
and friendship. That, on some day in the pre-
sent week, Drayton and gentleman of the same
Department, of most estimabe manners, were met
by Winder, who, upon returning the salutation of
Drayton, coupled with it very insulting remark
as to his companion They passed on; and, on
Thursday evening, at the Capitol, during the per-
formance of the Marine Band, Drayton encoun-
tered Wnder, and remarked to him that his for
mer harsh remark was, under the circumstances, to
say the least, "ungemlemanly" Winder immedi-
ately struck Drayton a blow in the face. Mu-
tual friends interfered, and the parties sepa-
rated, Drayton threatening at the time that :" he
would be even with him." On the same even
ing, about o'clock, while Winder was standing
in Fuller's Hotel, Drayton approached him from
behind, and, with heavy cane, felled him to the
floor where he lay for some time insensible.
Surgical aid was called in and we are happy to
learn that he is not dangerously hurt. We trust
that the police will do their duty in this matter,
and that these wanton violations of law in our
city may be properly met and punished.

In nine months ending June So ls4s the only exports
sf this nature from the United States to Great
Britain were few thousand barrels Of -four. The
importations into England from her colonies have been
reduced very large per cent in the past three
The agricultural products of Great Britain increase faster
than the consumer The harvess for the past four
will average much larger than for the previous ten, and
the result is, that the demand foreign coun-
tries has been proportionably reduced. From ad
vices recently received. we induced to be
lieve that the crops throughout Great Britain this
year, will be larger than before The harvests
throughout the United States have turned larger than
before known and between the surplus here and the
reduced wants on the other sde have doubt but
that prices will fall to very low point By official ac
published appears that the stocks of grain on
