FROM WASHINGTON.
Congress and Its Present and Prospective Do"
ings-Bilis that bid fair to pass-The Patent
Laws, and the attempt 10 alter them in cer-
tain cases.

Correspondence of Tho Tribune.
WASHINGTON, Saturday, Dec p.
Congress will not work much until after the
holidays. The prospect, at present. seems to be
decidedly fair for the passage of bills for amend
ing the Tariff, improving Rivers aad Harbors, es-
tabishing Cheap Rates of Postage, erecting a
Branch Mint in New York, securing Indemnity for
French spoliations, increasing the Rank and File
of the Army, increasing the Steam Wing of the
Navy, establishing Steam Mail Route TO China
and establishing Commission to examine and
adjust Claims against the Government.
Great efforts will be made to alter, and also to
prevent the altering of the existing Patent avs.
There is no process now by which Patent proved
and established to be fraudulent may be repealed.
There should be. 1t could do no harm. II the
Patentees invention is not fraudulent one let
him have the full benefit of it. Ii it be fraudulent
then the quicker it be exposed, and the Pa
tent repealed the better will it be for ali concern
ed, and the rest of mankind
The law should be altered also on the subject
of extending Patents which have run fourteen
wears, whether fraudulent or not Until few
wears ago it required the joint consent of the
Secretary Of the State the Solicitor OF the Urea
sury, and the Commissioner Of Patents to e-ctcAd
Patent But in an unguarded hour Congress
was induced to change that wholesome aud safe
feature of the law SO as to rest the whole power
to continue or e1tend Patent in the Commissioner
of Patents.

The telegraph has already announced the ex.
plosion of this boat at New Orleans on the l}th
inst. Nj. Lumsden one of the Editors OF the
n O. Picoyunr, was on board the boat at the
time of the explosion, and publishes an interesting
account of the disaster from which we make the
following extract
Atabout clock P NJ. portion of the guests,
among whom were five ladies and little girl, sat
down to sumptuous collation. IN the CABIN. or
tunatey the number OF ladies and children on
board was so small. Every thing passed OFT mer-
rily second table arranged for those who
had not been able to obtain place at the lrst,
and as the company became more and more so
cially disposed, q number OF those who had al
ready launched crowded into the cabin to partaae
of the general enjoyment. This saved great
many from the effects of the explosion.
At q o'clock, while this festivity was at Its
hight and the boat was coming down stream IN
der full Roadway, at the rate often rtwelve miles
All hour, when opposite the lower line OF Carroll
ton the explosion took place. We were standing
at the moment on the boiler deck near the front
door of the cabin We noticed shower OF water
falling on the deck around the small escape.pipe,
which in low. pressure boats runs up by the smoke
pipe. In second or TWO sharp, crashing noise
followed and the whole deck forward, within c
few feet OF US, rose IN the air
a thick, binding. impenetrabe cloud OF hot
smoke and cinders enveloped the whole scene in
an instant and for a short space of time the dark
ness around was ike night, We will not speak
of our own feelings at the moment. The smoke
cleared away and the awful character of the terri
bic accident was revealed The cries aud groans
OF the wounded, the screams of atirishted women,
the confused mass OF ruins in the front OF the boa5,
the surface of the river covered with Jagged tim.

next instant the alarming cry OF fire in the hold,
