The progress of the Coast Survey has been
Satisfactory .dl With the exception Of single
short link, an unbroken triangulation now ex-
tends from the Kennebec, in Maine, to Beau
fort, North Carolina; and corresponding ad
vance has taken place in reference to the topog-
raphy and photography of the service. An
effective preliminary reconnaissance has also
been carried out on the western coast, where
observations have been made for latitude and
longitude, and the magnetic attraction.
A thoroughly competent Lighthouse Board
has been organized under the act Of August
last. 1c7e8
six revenue cutters are in course of con
struction, under contract. aa
Steps nave been taken to provide for the
construction of custom-houses in large num-
Der Of places designated, and at other places
buildings in progress have been advanced with
all possible rapidity. That at Savannah has
i
appropriated by Congress has been found in
sufficient to do more than purchase sites; and
In others the same cause has prevented the
erection of fre-proof buildings. The latter
circumstance is especially to be regretted, as
In many cases the accommodations to be pro-
vided with the appropriations include custom
house, post Office, United States courts, and
other public offices where papers great value
must necessarily be deposited.
The hospital fund, for the relief of sick and
disabled seamen, is inadequate to the demands
consequent upon the expansion of our commerce,
and direct appropriations by Congress are re-
commended to meet the necessities Of the case
The erection of more marine hospitals is not
advised at present; the belief being that the
objects contemplated can be better and more
cheaply carried out by effecting arrangements
with local hospitals already in operation. Elk
ception is of course made in favor of places
where sites have bee purchased or works com
menced.la 4sara'E r
The claims of certain parties who have ex-
perienced hardship in consequence of deci-
sion OF the department, rendered under deci
sion of the Supreme Court, is commended to
the favorable action Of Congress. They are
claims of persons who seek return of duties
illegally assessed, but who failed to enter a
written protest at the time.
Another recommendation is submitted in
favor of law to- check the multiplicity of
suits against collectors of customs
A further appropriation Of $4,000 is sug-
gested to supply twelve points on the coast Of
Maine and Massachusetts with surfboats and
appurtenances, and power is sought to enable
the Department to expend portions of the fund
from time to time as may be necessary.
Amongst the documents transmitted with the
report are several relating to the fisheries of the

THE REPUBLCy

JupoE PHELPs AaAyn a SEsAros. --The tele.
graph brings intelligence Of the appointment, by
the Governor of Vermont, of Samuel 9. Phelps to
be United States Senator in the place of William
Uphnm, deceased Mr.. Phelps has already served
twelve years in the Senate, and has acquired a
national reputation. Ia colnprehensiveness and
clearness of intellect, in broad craftsmanship and
manly Independence, he will not have his superior
in the present Congress. In 1850 he distinguished
himself by the bold stand he took at the very out
set in favor of the Compromise He was one of the
Committee of Thirteen which devised that series
of measures and defended it's leading principles in
set speech two days before the bill was presented
to the Senate by Mr.. Clay, and six weeks before
the memorable seventh Of March, when Mr.. Web
ster defined his position in regard to them. This
speech Of Judge Phelps exceedingly powerful
both in logic and in wit. As was we'll observed at
the time, it was the first bucket of water which,
reached the fire. 1t was entitled to the more adj
miration, in that it cost him large share of the
great popularity he had previously enjoyed in his
native State 1t was an act of self sacrificing pa
triotism such as is too seldom witnessed. In thus
returning Judge Phelps to the Senate which he
once SO signaly adorned, Governor Fairbanks has
earned the thanks of the whole country; and the
more 60 because it involved departure from the
settled Vermont usage of choosing one Senator
from the eastern and the other from the western
portion Of the State.
