WASHINGTON, Feb %. 1873.
The Senate, after having wasted two sessions
yesterday and one to-day over the House Agricui-
tural College Subsidy bill, referred It., with bill
passed by the Senate giving the proceeds OF lands
instead OF money, to committee or conference.
The more the bill was discussed the more apparent
it became to Senators that 1t would he unwise to
thus fnrther endow the so-called agricultural coll
cges scattered over the country. The prospects Of
the bill were also injured by score or more OF the
professors OF these impecunious institutions, whose
opportunities for votes were so mperiOus as to do
harm rather than good.
Louisiana was the real topic of discussion In the
Senate to-day and there was sharp triangular
skirmish debate between Trumbul, Carpenter and
Morton-a keen trio. TrumbulI denounced tha
President for his interference, ana advocated the
establishment Of the McEnery State government;
Morton defended the action Of the President and
euloglzed the Kellogg government as altogether
lovely, and Carpenter pitched into both State gov
ernments, advocating new election. II is hardly
probable that any action will be taken at the pres.
ent session, especially II there is legislation con.
corning Utah, which will consume deal of vau.
able time.
Caldwel's case is to 90 over to the executive
session, which ls equivalent to his retaining hid
seat undisturbed. ,-- -
The Senate considered the Army Appropriations
bill this evening, and after many amendments had
been added to 1t, passed 1t.
