SENATE.
The bill to establish telegraphio COM
munication between the United States and
Cuba was taken up on question of concur
ring in certain House amendments, one Of
which limits the price OftelegraPhing TO
50 so for ten words, and another gives the
government the right to use the line at all
times free Of charge.
Mr.. CONNESS hoped the Senate would
not concur in the amendments. The price
was altogether too high; So 50 for ten words
for hundred miles.
Mr.. MORRILL, said the right to amend
the bill was inherent in it and if the charge
was found too high it could be reduced at
some future time. II was only provided in |
the House amendments that the rate should |
not exceed 50 so per ten words.
The Senate then on motion refused to |
concur in the House amendments and call |
ed for a Committee of Conference.
Mr.. WILSON offered resolution to grant |
the use of the Senate chamber on Thurs
day evening, May Sd, to Jas. E Murdoch, to
give readings in aid of the fund for the es-
tablishment of National Soldiers and |
Sailors Orphan Asylum. Mr.. Wilson asked |
for the immekiate consideration Of the reso-
luton.
Mr.. RIDDLE-I am in favor of the object |
in view, but
The CHAIR-It requires the unanimous |
consent to consider the resolution does the |
Senator from Delaware object to its present |
consideration
Mr.. RIDDLE-I object.
The CHAIR-Objection being made the
resolution lies over.

the relief of certain naval contractors, was
taken up. The pending question was on
the motion Of Mr.. Henderson to postpone
the bill till the first Monday in December.
HENDRICKS and NYE spoke in ia
vor of the bill, and CLARK and RIDDLE
against it, and the discussion occupied
three hours. On the motion to postpone the
bill until December, the roll was called and
the vote stood / i yeas against 25 nays.
Mr.. HENDERSON then moved to recon-
init the bill and amendment to the Com
mittee on Naval Affairs.
Mr.. CONNESS hoped it would be recon-
mitted TO the Committee on Claims.
Mr.. DAVIS suggested that the Committee
be instructed to report separately upon each
case.
The Senate refused to recommit the bill |
by a vote of I3 yeas against 80 nays. The |
bill was then passed. 1t provides as fol-
lows:
SEC 1. That the Secretary of the Treas
ury be directed to pay out of the money in
Treasury or that otherwise appropriated, to
the several parties, the awards made in
their favor by the Naval Board, organized /
under resolution of the Senate and adopted |

under date of Dec. %, 1865, and reported to

cept in the case Of Csmanche, in which
