ur paper went to press

After our paper went to press
Mr.. MALLORY concluded his remarks In de-
fence OF the general action of the Board of naval
officers and the bill reported from the Committee
ON Naval Affairs.
Mr.. CRIrTENDEN replied to Mr.. MALLORY.
Mr.. BENJAMIN followed, sustaining the action
OF the Board with more than bis usual earnestness
Mr.. To0MBS rejoined, denouncing the action of
the Board as iniquitous and unjust, and unprece-
dented In the annals Of die country
Mr. MASON said that he had some observations
to make upon the subject, but would not attempt
TO do 80 at that late hour. He would aherefoIe
move that the further consideration of the subject
be postponed until Tuesday next, at one O'clock (;
which was agreed TO. .Nt &
q Mr.. MALLORY expressed the hope that by
some general understanding the vote might be
taken after the Senator from Virginia Mr.. MASON
had concluded.
A message was received from the President Of
the United States, transmitting report from the
Secretary of the Interior, containing estimates of
the appropriations required for the fulflment Of
treaty stipulations with the Indian tribes; which
was read and, on motion OF Mr.. HUNTER, refer
red to the Committee ON Finance.

Democrats and Republicans.

BY reference to the following report in the IN
teVigencer Of the remarks Of Senator Brown Of
Mississippi and Senator Seward, on the Washing
ton Election Bill, it appears that there is wonder
full coincidence between the Democrats and Repub-
licans on this question 8
Mr.. Brown moved that the Senate concur in the
same. Although the bill was not such as he could
approve, still, as the election was soon to take
place. he thought it better to take it, as the best
that could be procured, without jeopardizing its
loss by further delay. -
Mr. Seward admitted that he had taken an inter-
est in the original bill of the Senate, and had used
every effort to urge its passags through the House,
but the bill having been amended there, he should
accede to the same. though not approving Of the
principles Of these amendments. sa

Thus il is seen that the present Mayor not only
liquidated S42, 966 rs of the debt left by Mr..
Maury, but, besides detraying the actual and ne
cessary expenses OF the Corporation, expended

the assertion, than has ever been expended for
similar purposes by any previous Mayor. During
this time labor has vastly increased, material has

SUSPICIOUS OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES the marine
head in the Gazette of the 9Th ns tant, was pub
lished the following paragraph:
"Schr. @. +. A. Cole, Baker, from Barbados
for Alexandria, in ballast, encountered, on the
night Of the 30th ultimo, severe gale from the
E.. the night being very thick aud rainy, she
struck on Point Lookout bar aud beat over it,
losing her large anchor and chain, and leaking so
badly that it became necessary to run her ashore
at the mouth of the Potomac, where she now lies"
We have since learned that the whole crew of
this vessel all Spaniards took the steamboat Alice
@. Price, at Piney Point, soon after her abandon
ment, and came up to Washington, where they
landed and dispersed. The schooner, it is said,
cleared at Baltimore last November, for Madeira,
and just before clearing, changed ownership. No
such vessel has since cleared from Barbados for
this port. When she was observed coming up TO
the mouth Of the river, pilot put out for her,
when she altered her course. That night, she
came back, and ran on Point Lookout bar She
is supposed to be filed with water casks, and is
peculiarly fitted up--snd her name had been erased
from her stern, and then chaked on again. In,
qulries are on foot to ascertain further facts with
regard to this affair, and some persons from this

A simple statement OF Facts.

The foreign candidate for the mayoraltv is
stamping the city, misrepresenting the condition
Of the finances Of the Corporation, and fatsJying
the record aam
a alderman Bayly introduced resolution calling
upon the Mayor for information, hoping that he
might obtain such information as would enable the
Sag Nicht leader (Kagrudes) to sustain his mis-
representations and Qualifications. This statement
has been furnished, and the facts declared fully
sustain the character of Mayor Towers as an exec
utive officer and refute all the faIsehoods which
have been 80 ndustriously circulated by the lead
ers of the party processing to be the advocates Of
{" civil and religious liberty"
The total Indebtedness of the Corporation on
June 30th, 1854, $72,82l 67,
This was the amount OF debt due by the Corpo-
ration at the expiration of Mr.. Maury's term.
The total indebtedness due June S0th 1865,
29,S54l94. Thus showing that Mayor Towers re-
duced the Indebtedness OF the Corporation $42,-
96s.73 during the first year Of his term
During Mr.. Maury's term the taxes were levied
at the rate of rs cents on the hundred dollars dur
ing the first term of Mayor Towers, the taxes were
levied at 10 cents per hundred dollars For the
past year Tor the fiscal year ending June 30th,
1855 the taxes were levied at the rate Of 60 cents
per hundred dollars. A reduction of Is per cent,
thus showing that the revenue of the Corporation
was reduced, and yet the present Mayor has 6qui-
dated the greater portion OF the floating debt which
Mayor Maury left at the expiration of his term.
During the first year of Mayor Towers term there
were expended the following sums Of money for
