Come Home.

To the lone traveller toiling in a dreary
land, there is no sound so sweet as "Come
home" 1t reaches his heart, sending a
thrill Of delight through its most secret
cells. At his labor he hears it, andin the
deep still night the spirit ~whisperings of
the loved ones at home stroll through his
elumbers spreading gladness Ger all dream
land. He reads itin the delicate tracings
Of his sisters pen, in the bold free hand of
his brother, and the few trembling words of
his parents are "Come home" How the
burning tears trickle down the strong mans
cheek as he remembers who and what are
in that home. Happy hearts threbbing
with deep unutterable love are there
There are the beautiful, wild and grand
scenes of nature where his childish heart

THE SPEAKER announced that be had sp.
pointed Messrs. LEWIS ID. CAMPBELL Of Ohio, WS,
A. Howard of Michigan, and MoRDEcA OLIVER
of Missouri, as the committee TO proceed to Kan
sas to investigate the state Of affairs in that Ter
ritory.
Mr.. PHELPS referred to the fact that Messrs
CAMPBELL and Howard were members of the Com
mittee of Ways and Means, and as the duties OF
the committee ON which they had been appointed
would necessarily involve their absence from the
House for several weeks, he suggested that the
Speaker temporarily appoint two members to fill
the vacancy which would thus be for time created
in that committee.
The SPEAKER replied that there would be no
committee until the gentlemen he had appointed
on the special committee should accept the posi-.
ton assigned them.
The House then proceeded to consider the mo-
ton made by Mr.. Books, of South Carolina, on
Monday last, to suspend the rules to enable him to
submit resolution instructing the Committee on
Printing to cause to be printed, for the use and
distribution of the members of the House, 10000
copies of the report and accompanying maps made
by Capt. r. B. Marcy United States army, of an
exploration of the Big Wichita river and the coun-
try about the headwaters of the Brazos
The motion to suspend was agreed to, when the
resolution was adopted.
Mr.. MILLSON, of Virginia, then called up his
motion to reconsider the vote by which the House
referred the resolutions Of the Legislature of Vir-
ginia, condemning the action Of the late Naval
Board, to the Committee on Naval Affairs. He
denounced the manner in which the Board ex-
ecuted the law to promote the efficiency of the
Navy, and urged the propriety of the passage of a
bill introduced by him repeating the act establish
ing the Board

from the seats appropriated In the Senate gallery
for the use Of reporters.
Mr.. HUNTER then called up the special order
of the day. which was the consideration Of the De-
fciency bill. e
The amendment pending was an appropriation
Of $1,000 for the repair Of the Eastern Branch
bridges.
Mr. HUNTER mayed to amend the amendment
by making an appropriation Of 1900 instead Of
5000, so as to include the repairs Of the Long
Bridge.
Mr.. BROWN thought the rickety old thing
should be removed; that it was disgrace TO
Congress and all concerned in retaining or patch
ing 1t up.
Mr.. RUSK concurred with Mr.. HUNTER in oppo-
sing the removal of the bridge. He did not wish
to incommode the whole Virginia travel for the
sake of building up Georgetown. he should there
fore vote against removing the bridge.
Messrs. PRATT, SEWARD, T0UCEY, aud
BUTLER, opposed the amendment, and thought
the bridge source of disease, a means of building
up Washington at the expense of Georgetown, and
that 1t should come down.
