law allowed the goods 70 remain one year wsrenousi
for consumption. and two when intended Tor expoFtS

would place another trump card IN the hands OF the
British lie gave notice OF an amendment excepting
from the imports TO be warehoused irou manufactured
and in bars.
Mr HUNTER said that he thought he could

Mr. STOCKTON moved sixty-siX amendments
10 the bill which he said had received the sanction OF
the i've Committees of Congress Naval Affairs and OF
the Navy Department The first amendment was 10 IN
cert the word active in the inst line OF the bill 80 that
would read That the active commissioned officers oil
the Navy OF the United States may be but shall not ex
coed the number and grades following &c.
Mr.. HALE thought there was great activity
in that word active There were now % Captains In
The Navy OF whom - had been for years waiting orders
Ii these q were 10 be set aside there would ~ other
put in their place he could not understand
how this could be done throughout all the giades with
out largely increasing the whole number OF the Navy.
Dir. STOCKTON said this bill was 20 make an
efficient Navy by having none but active men as officers
lie desrcd have the sixty eight Captains OF the Navy
DO active He desired to put aside those gallant
who have passed their grand chmateric, and active
men put m their places.
Mr.. HUNTER thought il would be better not
proceed more gradually than the Senator proposed
He classification of officers and h proposed retired list
were doubtless very proper but had we not better ga
ahh hs grades and propose his list and then after the
Gers had been retired Ii more were wanted IL would
De- easy 20 add them.
Mr. Stockton said he intended at the proper
time 70 submit proposition 10 double the Navy. Cali
orLis, with her golden sands, her dover clad valleys
snd her sturdy forests desired protection She should
have H. but there Navy 20 do Il with. When
gentlemen considered the powerful effects the world
Of The terrific pronuncismentOs which daily emsnsted
from tins arsenal Of words they must greatly underrate
ID
necessity Tor Hugucning the Navy. The time would
come when unless there be efficient Navy the com
merce o, the nation would be swept from the seas
Mr. MALLORY explained that tins bill reduced
the officers IN commission by II.
Mr.. HALE argued that the retiring OF large
number OF oicer and filing their places with others,
would he actual increase of the Navy. The officers
who have been waiting orders not out oil service be-
Of inefsciency but for want Of employment.
There nothing for them 10 do He agreed with the
Senator from Virginia that II would be better ~ ascer
tain fret how many old iodes ought 10 be retired and
how many OF Young America were necessary to Ill
their places.
After further debate the question was taken
on Inserting active, and agreed 10, Yeas 30 Nays a.
All the other amendments changing the details of the
bill were adopted In lump, without being read
Mr.. HAMLIS offered Il slight amendment.

built vessels owned in whole n part by persons who

The question pending was upon Mr. Brod-
hesd.s substitute
Mr.. WELLFR replied 10 Mr. Bayard and Mr
Bright, who spoke yes;erdsy-deDying that there was
anything IN the bi creating monster corporatOn sur.
passing in is Oyer-shadO8ng influences, the United
Static Bank.
Mr.. BAYARD replied by reading the 18th sec
ton Of the bill which provides thai the persons b
whom The contract shai be gwen shall be incorporated
with ali The powers necessary 10 carry into effect the
construction Of tie work.
Nr. COoPER Was in favor of the amendment.

which with III inenss capital would control the ia
ture acion OF Coseress and e7entasy saddle the Gov.
eTIment with the DhOle cost Of the road.
