Congress-.

Nothing of extraordinary Importance
has transpired in Congress during the
week. The passage OF the amendment
to the Tobacco law, extending the time
of packing bulk tobacco in dealers hands,
TO the 18th of February, and the pro-
nouncing eulogies on the late Hon.
Thaddeus Stevens, were among the
most important occurrences. The re-
ports Of the Commissioners sent out to
examine the Pacific Railroads, are I'M
der consideration. The Cuban rcvolu-
ton, now recognized IS an insurrec-
tiop, is receiving masked attention by
our legislators. She is ripo fer acquisi
ton, many of them believe, and from
present indications, the government, oil
at least a portien of it, is on the
alert and more than willing to take
the gem Of the Antilles into the national
brco1. Strong efforts, with heavy oHt-
side pressure, are being made to secure a
repeal of the copper bill. An effort is be.
inc made to censure the President for ex-
pressing his damaging reputation SEN
ments. An entire new rate Of tariff is
being adopted in the House. 1t is slow
work though, there being so many an
tagonistic sectional interests involved.

Gen. Grant, in conversation with a
Senator day or two since, is said to
have taken strong ground against giving
subsidies to so many railroads. He
said the government must begin to look
closely to the payment of the debt, and
that to do it the greatest emonomy iii
the Pnblic expenses of all kinds must
be practicsd, and that at present all
schemes to secure government aid ex-
cept where it is absolutely necessary
should be steadily frowned down.

REPORT or
FAST AND PRESENT OF THE ERIE RAILWAY
Dis Published in tie Ne1o York Times, Dec. 6.
MR.. JAY GOULD,


Dis Published in tie Nz1e York Times, Dec 6.
Shortly after l became President OF
thls Company, some months since, and
after thoroughly acquainting myself with
the wants and requirements of the Com
pany, with the view of devoting what
energy and experience had to their con-
summation, | acted upon the theory
that the Erie Railway Company, which
owed its existence to the State, was
bound to pursue policy that would fos-
ter and protect both the commerce of
the city and the business interests of the
State | found the equipment of the road,
both engines and cars, inadequate for its
business. There is not local station be-
tween New York and Buffalo where busi-
ness men and shippers are not now suffer
ing from want OF cars. In addition to
these local requests, weare bound to give
facilities TO our Western connections.
They are nov and have been greatly SUIT
fering from an inability to furnish cars
and engines to bring forward freight.
Much Western trade has thereby been
driven away from New York to PhiIadel-
Phia and Baltimore. I propose to rene
dy this evil by furnishing the road with
ample equipments TO accommodate the

SEWARD AFTER CUBA-WA AsHINGToN, Dec,
lin the best informed circles here it is now
the universal belief that the business which
has taken Caleb Gushing abroad is to purchase
fiom the provisional Spanish government the
island cf Cuba. Various facts have leaked
out that go to show that he has been sent to
Madrid, with full power TO negotiate this sub
ject, and it is thought that the needy condition
of the Spanish government together with the
character of the men now IN power, make this
a favorable time to use money in the acquisi-
ton of the territory.
