The amendment Tor apr ropriation for Stevens ;
battery beiuC under consideration
Mr. LOveiov opposed It.
Mr. Stratton learned from Lieutenant Worden
that when he went OF board OF the Monitor he
had no faith in her efficiency. and therefore
thought she would be useless, and in reply To Mr.
Loveioy EXPRESSED the opinion that tue Stevens
battery would prove alike successful. III Con-
gress at the session had authorized it, COM
pletion the Merrimac would not be in existence.
Mr. Pike said $500, 900 had been already spen,
on the battery, and with the amount now pro-
posed, the total would be 81 .2sS.OJ0 IL draws
20 much water as te be Of no sort OF consequences
in any Southern port
Mr. Strltion remarked that il draws less water
than tire Merrimac.
Mr. Pike said the Monitor cost S275 600, and
four such vessels could be constructed for what
the Stevens battery would cost.
Mr. DIN said the Monitor had not been a
success 80 far as the contest with the Merri.
mae was concerned, for she did not run her
her down, the only way to destroy her. This
he believed could be done by the Stevens bat
terry. Ten guns could he fired from her while
one was fired from the Monitor, besides which
she could move far faster and was more mana
geable
Mr.. Hickman briefly recounted the superior
merits of the battery. The arguments against
this experiment would apply to every other ex
pertinent There could be no progress IN hu
man affairs without experiments. Perhaps the
Monitor was a nore reckless experiment than
this battery. The amendment was adopted
Mr.. Stevens reported back from the Commit
tee of WAYS and Mems the resolution. that the
Senate concurring. Congress will adjourn SIM
die ON the third Monday in May, and it was
agreed To.
The Pacific railroad bill was postponed to da,
to afford members an opportunity to further ex

The bill regulating privilege was up and dis

The bill aboshing slavery in the District o
