At the last two meetings Of the Acade-
my ofMoral and Political Science, there
was read 4 memorial upon primary in
SructIoH and crime, the conclusions from
which tended 10 prove that vice increased
with the progress Of education. Doubts
were entertained of the correctness of sta
tSiics which had tended to establish this
melancholy result. NJ. NJ. Cousin, Mo-
rcau de Jonnes, Nillermc, successfully
disputed the point, and, while doing JUS
tee 10 the intentions of ;he author OF The
memorial, they proved that the number
received and instructed in the primary
schools Was not exactly known, and even
were it true that the number of crimes in
creased with he number Of men who can
rea, and write, it is not sutlicientmOtlve
for c0n,lemuing and lorbidding the diilu
sion OF knnwIedge among the popular

TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE.
ToisErs phic Summary.


Our dispatches are N considerable interest; the
last session OF the Thrtieth Congress has but
twenty four hours to run; but even in that time,
we have a elimmenug of hope that the amend
ment of Mr. Walker TO III, appropriation bill, pro-
viding for a territorial government tor California,
and which has already passed the Senate, will yet
receive the sanction of The House, without the
Wllmot prov,so. This opinion is founded upon
the rumor that General Taylor has gwen his
countenance to the measure, and requested HIS
friends TO advocate 1t.
In the Senate, yesterday, after the TRANSACTION
of some business, of no special Importance, the
bill from the House for refunding duties on goods
destroyed by the great fire in New York Ia 1916,
was taken up; several amendments were offered |;
but the bill was finally laid upon the table. At
one o'clock, Geo. M Dallas, President OF the Sc
nate, In pursuance OF previous notice, vacated his
seat Mr.. Atchison, of Missouri, was chosen to
fill the vacancy. A bill making Port COvngton,
N Y, port of delivery, was passed. The Gre
dentials of w. G. Dawson, as a Senator from Geor-
ga, were presented he fills the seat rendered
cant by the expiration of the term OF Mr.. Johnson.
The naval appropriation bill was passed and the
Post Office appropriation bill was under discussion
when our dispatches closed.
In the House, the bill from the Senate for the
liquidation of claims OF American citizens against
against Mexico, under the treaty, was taken up,
and after long discussion, substitute offered by
Mr.. Smith, (the provisions OF which we are not
informed oi,) was adopted, and the bill was finally
passed. Alter the transaction of some business OF
minor Importance, the House, IN Committee OF the
Whole, went into the consideration of the civil
and diplomatic appropriation bill, as amended by
the Senate. Some of the amendments of the
Senate were agreed to, and others were sagreed
to. Mr.. Wentworth endeavored TO attach the
Wilmot provlso to the bill, but It was decided by
the Chair to be out of order; an appeal from
his decision, it was sustained by the casting vote
Of the chairman. The bill, with sundry amend.
ments, was then returned to the Senate. JOINT
resolution regulating payments to the Congress
slonal printers, was passed The amendments
of the Senate to the bill making appropriations
for Notifications were disagreed TO-
According to the very latest accounts the cab-

Tine Closing Scenes In Congress

The last session of the Thirtieth Congress will
close at twelve O'Clock to. n gh,.
Unless there is much more business transacted
to- day than we expect, it will be marked by the
future historian as one of the most Improbable
that has ever been held. II will be looked upon
by posterlty as a season OF elimination and recri-
mination by the Northern and Southern States,
during which few or none of the substantial in
terests of the country at large were attended to.
1t is to be hoped that some charity will be extend
ed to 1t in after times, for it will need it.
1t is expected that the closing scenes OF this
Congress will be very interesting. We have,
therefore, made special arrangements to have
them fully depicted to our readers, and they ma
with confidence look to the columns of the Herald
for graphic description of them.
