The consular and diplomatic appropriation
bill was reported by Mr.. Hunter, from the Com
mittee on Finance, with sundry amendments,
which were all adopted except that allowing
twenty-five thousand dollars for the salaries of
twenty-five consular pupils" to be appointed
by the President in pursuance of an act of
Congress, passed in 1856, authorizing such a
new class of officers in connection with our
amended consular system.
The expectancy Of granting the appropria-
ticn in question was defended by Messrs. Hun
ter, Mason, and Toucey, and opposed by Messrs
Rusk, Fessenden, Toombs, Hale, and Wilson.
On vote beng taken, the appropriation was
lost-yeas Ii, nays %.
Mr.. Rusk then moved that so much of the
new consular law as authorizes the appoint.
ment of consular pupils be repealed, which
led to further debate, involving chiefly the pro-
pnety of annexing such a repeating clause to
an appropriation bill
Alter debate, which was participated in by
Messrs. Rusk, Hunter, Toucey, Collamer.
Brown, Mason, Pugh, Hale, Stuart Wilson,
and Fessenden, the amendment of Mr.. Rusk
was carried-yeas 23 nays II. The appropria-
ton bill, with all the other amendments pro.
posed by the Committee on Finance, was then
passed without count.
Dir. Iverson, of Georgia, moved to take up
the bill authorizing the construction of a naval
depot at Blythe Island, on the coast of Georgia
and, pending a motion to recommit the bill to
the Committee on Naval Affairs, the Senate
adjourned.
HOUSE
During the morning hour, various resolutions
OF inquiry were introduced, and a large num-
Der Of bills were submitted and referred The
House then considered, on motion of Mr.. Full
Ter, Of Blaine, the bill arranging the collection
districts ofthe Union, and designating the sew
eral ports Of entry and deliTsry. The subject
was clearly explained in statement from the
Treasury Department and By Mr. Fuller, chair
man of the Committee on Commerce, but the
bill was not finally acted upon.
On MIR. Grows motion, the special order, the
tariff bill, was postponed until Friday, to allow
Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, to be devo-
ted to the consideration Of Territorial bills !;
and, on Mr.. Dodd's motion, the first Tuesday
in February was assigned for the consideration
Of business pertaining to the District of Column
bia.
The amount Of business of various kinds sub.
mitted in the course of the day would seem to
be enough for whole session, bat much of it
can only be preliminary to the labors of an
other Congress.
The subject Of increasing the mail facilities
between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans was
prominent among the inquiries ordered by the
House.

calling on the Secretary of the Navy to state
what Is the number of deserters from the navy
since the passage of the act to promote the
efficiency of that branch Of the public service,

Mr.. Mallory objected to its adoption, as being
needless exposure OF transactions which have
gone beyond the control of the Navy Depart
nent and the Senate.
AT one o'clock, Mr. Houston's resolution was

settlement of the accounts of the officers of the
