Quite a debate sprung up in the Lower
House of Congress on Monday last, on
the report of the Committee on Ap-
preparation, recommending non-eoncur-
renee in the Senate amendment to the
Sundry Civil bill, by which an item of
S25, 1000 was inserted for the benefit of
Catholic organization in Washington
known as the Little Sisters of the Poor
Mr.. Butler thought the Little Sisters
ought TO have.the appropriation. So did
Mr. Parker, of Missouri, and many other
members. These gentlemen remembered
how bravely the Little Sisters worked on
the battle-helds during the war of the ne
bellion, extending aid to the DYING anu

nothing to do with purely benevolent en-
terprises which are under its control. Mr..
Garfield stated his views without preju-
dice to the Catholic Church, just as he
would have urged them against any other
denomination, not excepting that-as he
said-to which he himself belonged. Not
withstanding the manifest justice OF his
argument, the amendment was con-

Senator Sherman in an ebulition of pa
trlotic fervor for revenue. on Monday last,
could not consent to give his support of
the rate of postage recommended by the
p o. Department upon newspapers-11S
cents a pound-but thought 4 cents a
pound was better standard. His course
was excused by the statement that he
had no quarrel with the newspapers. His
zeal for the revenue, we suppose, will
not admit ofa question as to the purity of
his motives, however we may be unable
to account for his superior knowledge
and wide difference from the P Master
General.
Quite Unexpectedly the Conference
Committee on the currency bill has ar
rived at conclusion, and reported it to
Congress. The new bill provides for
the redistribution of $55,O00.OOO in Ma
tional Bank currency, and fixes the limit
of legal tender circulation at $382, ,000, 900
which is the amount now outstanding.
This bill. if passed, will leave the curren-
cy about as it was when Congress first
assembled. The part of the $44,OO0,000,
reserve which is already out will be le-
galized, and the Secretary of the Treasu-
ry will be forbidden to issue the remain

fest much interest in it; finally new Co.

work pushed forward to completion.
Mr.. John A. Roebling, a Prussian by
birth, the designer and builder of the In
ternational Suspension Bridge over Mag
ara River-was the engineer, and superin-
tendent of this, which is said to be the
most substantial, graceful, and perfect
wire suspension bridge in the world. The
towers stand 1920 feet apart, on either
bank of the Ohio RiVer-their full height
is 240 feet, their base is 30x51 feet; be-
tween these towers one perfect and grace
full curve spans the river. The roadway
passes through each tower in an arched
opening 80 feet wide and 75 feet high.
The roadway is 20 feet wide and is divid-
ed into two tracks; each side of the road
way is walk for foot passengers, 70 feet
wide. In crossing the bridge either way
every thing "kee2s TO the right The
bridge hangs on two wire ropes which
pass over the towers and are anchored
deep in the river banks. The WIRE used
Is Mes. and came from the mandatory
OF johnson Bros, Manchester, England.
These ropes are composed OFT strands,
and each strand of 74O wires; each rope,
therefore, contains $3.50 wires, and the
whole mass of wires were filed with ce-
ment and oil, and by means of powerful
clamps, each rope was pressed perfectly
circular, and the whole rope was covered
by continuous spiral wrapping Of gal
vanized iron wire; and the strands of the
rope we're brought to solid mass 10 inch
es in thickness. On these two immense
wire ropes, the bridge is built. The en-
tire length OF the bridge, from Second St.,
CoYington, to Front St., Cincinnati, is
1900 feet. The height of the floor of the
bridge above low water mark, is 100 feet,
so that during high water, large steamers
must lower their smoke stacks, when
passing under.
There is 100000 lbs of wire in the,
bridge, SOC, 600 feet of lumber and 10000
perches of stone. The entire cost of the
bridge, including real estate, incidental
expenses, &C., reaches about $2,OOO,OOO.
Viewed as a whole, the bridge is an ina
mense work-grand TO behold-bold and
daring in design, and wonderful in execu
ton. 1t inspires one with the conviction
that the genius. and skill, and daring of
men can overcome every material obsta-
Gle in the path of progress. T.C.
