The proceedings Of the EIche Commissioners
are getting dull; their bufoOnery is diluted with
positive stupidity, the old jokes are worn thread

In Congress yesterday was the SENATE, as we an
ticipated, much improved by its Sabbath medta-
tons. No member seemed in hurry to annihilate
John Bull before giving him a chance to explain.
Mr.. Crittenden aud Gov. Hammond both spoke
nationally and pertinently. Mr.. ToOmbs was still
fierce, but not implacable Mr. Wilson, for Gen.
eral, was quite considerxte. On the whole, the
Bears among our stock gamblers will not make
their salt out of yesterday debate. An Intellectual
effort was made by Gen. Houston to take up the
Mexican ProtectOrate question.
The House passed the Senate Paraguay resolu-
tions after refusing to extend the principle of them
to the British outrages." The supplemental In
dian Appropriation bill was also passed. Mr.. VIM.

Mr.. Senator Clay Of Alabama seems to emit

Mr.. Senator Clay of Alabama seems to entertain
very special spite against Goldfish. For several
years past be has been toliDg his bill to abolish
the Goldfish bOunties, and at last he has succeeded
in getting it through the Senate. His perseseran y,
at least, deserved success; and We don't remember
lis having succeeded, or even having tiled to sue
coed, in anything el,e. The bill will probably, stick
in the House. The aggregate involved I'D those
fishing bounties is the enormous sum Of $500, 900
per ADMIN; the average number of vessels EN-
poyed is about 1000, and of hands about $1,000;
ar the number of owners of vessels is about 5000.
Of the vessels, all but l60 belong to Msine and
Massachusetts. Everybody knows that these fshe-
ries are as old as the Government ITSELF and older
too; that they have constituted a feature in every
treaty touching North America for more than two
centuries and have always been deemed of great
Importance. Everybody knows, too, the part
played by the fishermen OF England, on the
land and on the sea, in the war of the Revolution
aid in that of 1872; and everybody knows that it
was the settled policy of the founders Of the gov
enment, and has been ever since UT Ill very recently
to foster these fisheries as the very best of all nurse
ries for sesmen. But Mr. Senator Clay ignores all
this, OF is ignorant of it, At all events, he hates
codfsh and cod6shermeD, and he very specially
hates Cd Massachusetts, that has most interest 10

attack on the Navigation laws and on the Coasting

We print herewith the late Speech of Mr.. SHEER
MAN Of Ohio on the Federal Expenditures, their
rapid and incessant growth aud the absolute neces
siy which exists for their speedy and thorough re-

ASPECT and been undenisbly non-psrtisau in its
scope and bearings. We certainly believe those
who have mainly controlled the Government more
responsible for it's prOdigality than the relatively
poweress Opposition; but that Opposition has
never yet discharged IFS full duty in watching e1-
posing resisting the constant tendency to increase
the number and the emolumeuts Of those who
draw through the Treasury their living from the
sweat Of the tsx-paying Millions. On the contra
ry such scsudalous jobs as the Enlargement of the
Capitol, the Washington Water-Works, the New
Orleans and Charleston Custom Houses, have never
been persistenty, adequately opposed by the Polti-
cal minority in Congress. The outrageous in
crease of the compensation of Congress, though
originated by Democrat, first passed by the
Democratic Senate, and aggravated in the House
from $500 to $1,000 per annum on motion Of
Democrat yet passed the House by about an equal
vote from the tao great parties. So the Army
has been enlarged and the pay Of officers increased
