Mr.. sprague introduced an act supple
mentary to the act regulating the compen-
satiOn Of members of Congress. It pro-
vides for an increase of pay to the mem
bers of both Houses from $4,000 to $4,000 per
annum.
The resolution advising the retaliation
was taken up.
Mr.. Sherman, it was not the province of
the Senate to investigate the conduct of
Government officers. That belonged to the
House of Representatives. It was the duty
of the House to impeach officers and of the
Senate to try them when impeached.
Mr.. Hale said he did not see that any
good had resulted from investigating the
corruptions of the Government.
Last year Committee was appointed to
investigate the corruptions OF the Navy
Department. 1t did its work and soon after
the Navy Department ordered the arrest
and seizure of the principal witness. His
he was imprisoned and ordered not to be
released on bail in a sum less than $500, 900.
The Navy Department went farther. It
sent commission rowing about the country
to find out something against the chairman
of the Committee who investigated these
outrageous frauds. The man who is sup
posed to be the actual Secretary of the
Navy, gave instructions to this commission
which l Will read. It is as follows Some
time IN the spring of 1862, lot Of ship
timber was offered to the government at $l4
per ton at Portsmouth. 1t was refused.
After this it was put into the yard at $2s
per ton. Did John P. Hale have anything
to do with it9
Mr.. johnson said, "DO you know who
wrote these instructions 2"
- -
exactly, but you know I am Yankee and
have right to guess"
Mr.. Davis said, "Whom do you guess it
was ?"
Mr.Hale, 81 guess it was the man who is
the actual Secretary of the Navy"
Several Senators, "Whst is his name?"
Mr.. Hale, "I prefer to be a little foxy on
that subject"
Mr.. Hale continued his remarks, stating
that it was well known there had been the
most gigantic frauds in the Navy Depart
ment thst these had been discovered and
the perpetrators found out, but there it end
ed.
The Chair decided the order of the day
which was that the resolution advising re-
taliation upon the rebels for cruelties on
our prisoners must be considered.
TIE retaliation resolution was taken up.
The question pending was a motion t,
recommit the whole subject to the Commit
tee on Military Affairs.
Mr. Harlan advocated retaliation.
Mr.. Clark was also warmly in favor of re-
| taliation, and would commence on Roger A
| Prior in the work of starving rebels, if they
| did not treat our men justly.
Mr.. Sumner said the resolution had beer
altered so much in the course of debate thai
nothing remained of it but the name. Il
was no longer for retaliation in kind, but II
now proposed to be a conformity with the
laws of nations.
Mr. Hale was for retaliation.
Debate was further continued by johnson
and Davis.
Senate adjourned. -

TIE RICHMOND wHIa on THE LATE REBEL NAVAL
EXPEDITION.
The Richmond Wig, of January 2sth,
says: The statements, this morning, in
several Of four cOtemporaries, to the effect
that the iron-elads had passcn the Yankee
obstructions at Trent's Reach, and were
passing down the James river, have doubt
less created sntieipatiOns of exciting news
from the Aotilla, but the fact is, only the
Fredericksburg went through or over the
distractions, and when Lieutenant F. E.
Shepherd, the commanding officer, dis
covered the consorts of his vessel were
aground he returned to their assistance,
using the tide. He lifted the Virginia and
Richmond from bars upon which they
struck, andthe hotilla then returned to the
vicinity Of their former position, where at
last accounts they were still remaining.
The Drury was blown up as stated this
morning, and Fort Harrison was not re-
taken.

sea The last Monroe Democrat, in /:

sea.The last Monroe Democrat, in a
fwee bit of blearney," makes heavy bid
for the Irish vote, and as knock down
argument in favor of the right of the
Democracy to the vote, quotes what it
pretends to be an extract from speech
delivered at meeting of the New School
Presbyterian Conference, held in New
York City short time since, in which
the speaker insisted "that it became an
absolute necessity to give the negro the
ballot, to counterbalance the Irish vote. y
We do not know whether the expression
was used or not The fools are not all
dead yet, and we think it quite likely that
some one of them managed to find his way
into the synod, and made just the remark
attributed to him. But what of that 2
The mere expression of mad-cap cannot
initiate against the correctness of the
principle that negro is freeman, aud
that as a freeman he should be allowed
to express his opinions, atthe ballot box,
with other freemen. Nor does it move a
lot towards the condemnation of party,
because that party advocates the extern
sion Of the right to vote to colored free
men. Nor should the party be made to
suffer for the indiscretions of the individ-
ual member.
If this latter point is not conceded
with what grace can the Democratic par
ty asks its Irish friends to remain stead
fast in its support7 We can point to
quite number of the hangers on around
the Democrat, who were fed literally on
public pap because of their bitter opposi-
ton to the Irish vote, and condemnation
of the Irish in the gone-by days of ''nix-
wisserism" And we believe the Editor
of the Democrat himself-even the Squire
at one time, debated within himself
whether he could not, maybe, gain eclat
and Importance by displaying his Presi-
dental dignity over meeting at which
the Irish and Catholicism were most
roundly condemned.
We do not find fault with the Demo
cratic party for the folly of its followers,
because as We said before, we do not be-
licve the fools are all dead yet; we mere
ly speak of the things we know to remind
them of the inconsistency of the spot call
ing kettle black"

Changes in the schoo Law.

The following changes in the School
Law of Pennsylvania were adopted by the
late Legislature
1. Clerks of the Courts of Quarter
Sessions are required to furnish the State
Superintendent certificate of the forma-
tion of any school district, whether by
the incorporation of a borough, the es-
tablishment of an independent district, or
the creation of a new township.
2. The President of school board is
required to call meeting of the direc-
tors upon written request of three OF
their number. In case of refusal, two
directors may call meeting, and the bus
iness transacted thereat shall be legal.
8. 1t is absolutely necessary, in order
to secure share of the State appropria.
ton, that no teacher shall have been en-
ployed in the district during the year
who had not valid certificate from the
County Superintendent, and also that the
school shall have been kept open for al
least four months subsequent to the first
Monday in June preceding.
4 This section relates to the election
of County Superintendent. 1t provides
that the State Superintendent shall com
mission such subordinates as are certified
to have been elected at the trienial con-
ventions, provided that objections be not
made, signed by one fifth of the boards
of directors of the County, and sworn to
by at least three of the signers within
thirty days after election.
5. The minimum age for admissibility
into the Common Schools is raised from
fire to sic years.
Another supplement practically abolish
es the system of district institutes and re-
establishes the school month at % days.
District institutes may be held on two Of
these days, but they are permitted not
required.
The last supplement compels County
Commissioners to make return of the tri
ennial enumeration of taxables in each
district on or before the first Monday in
June 1865. Upon these returns the dis
tribution of the State appropriation is to
be based
