Congress-.

In the Senate, yesterday, Mr.. Trumbull re-
ported back, with amendments, the bill to
amend the judicial system of the United States. .
Mr.. Conkling introduced a bill to encourage
the building of steamships 10 the United States,
which was referred to the Finance Committee.
The Consular and Diplomatic Appropriation
bill was again under discussion. After the adop-
ton of an amendment, offered by MIR. Whyte,
that the President be requested to apply to
the authorities OF Great Britain to agree to
terminate that part of the Ashburton treaty OF
April 7, 1862, which obliges each Government
to keen up mixed courts and then, upon the tn
consent of Great Britain being obtained, the
salaries of all the officers OF the United States
connected with such courts shall cease. the
hin was passed. By vote OF thlrty-hve to
twenty MIR. Sherman's Currency bill was laid
aside. and the House Suffrage amendment
taken up. Several amendments were offered,
and the Senate adjourned.
La the House of Representatives., yesterda
Mr., Ella, from the Committee on PRINTING,
presented the report of that committee relative
to the investigation Of the stationery contracts
of the Interior Department, together with o
resolution directing the Secretary OF the Interior
to withhold all payment tor SAID contracts.
The resolution was agreed W. n pli Pio'iu
ing for the holding of an election in Mississippi
was referred to the Committee on Reconstruc
ton. Two witnesses, who had refused to testify
before the Committee to investigate the alleged
election frauds, were brought before the House
for contempt of its authority. One was dis
charged from contempt, the case OF the Other
was postponed until to-day, and both were or
dered to remain in the custody of the Sergeant
alarms. Mr.. Cook, of Illinois, from the Com
mittee on Roads and Canals reported the bill
to authorize the building of military anc
postal railroad from Washington to New York
civ. Mr.. Cook said that the committee wa:
satisfied that necessity existed for the roac
proposed to be built There was but one rail
road line now connecting the Capital with the
North. This was not sufficient to answer the
demands OF the travelling public, nor was 1
wise for the Government to put itself at thu
mercy of one railroad company. The bill Wa'
laid over at the expiration of the morning hour
The Indian Appropriation bill was taken VI
and discussed, and upon the conclusion OF TIT
debate the House took recess At the even
inc session the Internal Revenue Tax bill was
under consideration.
