The Naval Appropriation bill is the only one which
the Black Republicans have permitted TO pass me
House without taekng On their Kansas amendments.
Accordingly, there has been no diversity q OPINION /
between the two Houses so far as this bill s concern
ed and oil yesterday it passed the Senate ana became
/ INV Like hi the other appropriation bls q tne
preselt session, derabe more N pera W tlle
amount appropriated than the last But no one WI
obiect to this 1t would be well if Congress would
Be more ehary penditres in other respects, ana
more liberal towards the navy u cannon ne mace
efficient without money
All Of the Kansas amendments 70 Inc legislative,
judicial and executive appropriation bill which were
added on by the House, were yesterday struck out BY
the Senate, and the bill was then passed by vote Of
SIS to l2the Black Republicans voting in the mega
tive, 1T will now go back to the House, and they
must either recede from their amendments or suffer
the bill to be- lost They beginning to feel the re-
sponsbility Of such position, and am inclined to
think, Will surrender Party expediency will force
them to it, if nothing: else @ s28B.@
Nh. Wellers Pacific Railroad bill was yesterday
laid On the table, much to the surprise Of those who
favored it. It was test vote, and is equivalent to
defeat Of the bill for the present session at least AS
q matter Of interest to your readers, saR]on the
yeas and nays on the motion to lay on the table, It
will be seen that both Of the Louisiana Senators voted
A to kill the bill:

The House yesterday again ovcr-rul5d q Presden-
tial veto Of d river and harhor bill. IT has become
almost daily occurrence now for Congress TO pass
these bills over the veto Of the President. 1t is, in
i deed a curious circumstance, when we reflect that
he was elected by the votes Of every State in the I'm
! ion hut four, and went into the Presidency with
sweeping maorities in both houses of Congress; but
is only another illustration of the folly of eevatng
weak men to Office, and the uncertainty OF popular
sentiment. Inasmuch as there are not ten days re-
manning before the adjournment it is supposed that
any further improvement bills that may be passed
will be quietly met with pocket veto a Ia jackson
Quite spirited discussion took place in the SENATE
on Monday on resolution offered by Bger Of Penn
sylvania, calling the War Department for Informs
ton as to the settlement of Fremonts accounts with
tile Government while he was an officer of the army
in California. Biger, be it known, is the obedent
tool of Mr.. Buchanan, and has worn his livery for
years. With capacity only for low intrigue and
dsreputable party lodging, he has willingly assumed
q the championship Of Mr.. Buchanan in the Senate
His object of course was to ascertain if Fremont was
4 defaulter to the Government; and if he was, te
make party capital out of it, No opposition was madt
4 toit, even BY the Black Republicans though Wilson
Massachusetts, denounced the act as mean and petty
\ Had Bigler repealed the charge with anything lk
Just resentment, Wilson would have Ietlacted it TO
one is about as much q craven as the other But h
received it as umbIy as Uriah Heep ever did an in,
j parchment of his integrity As aa5a
i Trumbull Of Illinois then offered an amendment
! calling on the President to communicate to Congress
how much MI. Buchanan had ever received out Of tn
public treasury, and why he was recalled from Eng
4 land and whether the Ostend Conference was he'll
bv AUTHORITY of the Administration or not and wha
+ was the result of that conference The amendment
was voted down and the original resolution adopted
can't help thinking that this is small business 70

Il Hampshire the buffoon of the Senate, said he wa

! only accusation made against him was that, undo

intending at that time to capture fine old Buck !!

Il; Nv frt
protocol Of the Peace Congress in Paris, in referenc
L to certain points of international law twill be IT
y collected that this Peace Congress propounded fou
propositions, to which they asked the assent of a
nations not represented. First, that privateern

y order to be binding, must be effective. Third th
u free ships make free goods-and lastly that neur
~ goods are safe even under an enemys flag. The Ia
two OF these propositions we would have agreed to-
e in fact they were originally proposed by usbut til
N Peace Congress made them indivisible 50 that Y
Y must accept all, or none. Mr. Marcy, therefore, in
n very able State paper rejects them ALL on the grour

1884, that the night succeeding the death of Gene

ei he had ever passed without sleep that he spent
most of it in prayer for ability and strength to uph
