the day The bill to authorize the con.
struction of substantial iron aud masonry
bridge across the Eastern branch Of the
Potomac, at or near the present Anacostia
bridge was taken upand after debate was de-
feated The bill providing for the payment
Of the school teachers of the District, was
then taken up in Committee Of the Whole.
On the one hand it was urged that by the
great influx of negroes and by the presence
Of Government clerks and other employees,
the District had to support schools for the
benefit of those Who did not help to sup
port them, and that there was a manifest
equity in Congress paying something for
their support On the other hand it was
urged that the purpose of the bill was to
recognize the liability of Congress for
improvements made in the District Ii
would establish the principle that Congress
was responsible for the contracts of the
Board of Public Works. An amendment
was adopted authorizing the District au.
thorities to levy tax on personal property
equal to the amount proposed to be appro.
priated by this bill, the same to be paid
into the Treasury of the United States.
SATuRDAY.-The Senate was not in
session.
In the House bills reported from the
Committee of the Whole were taken up,
one being the appropriation for bridge
over the eastern branch of the Potomac,
and the other the appropriation to pay the
school teachers of the District of Columbia
the former being rejected and the latter
adopted, with an amendment requiring the
amount appropriated to be collected by n
tax on personal estate and on corporations,
The House also took up the Georgia
contested election case, but adjourned
without coming to a vote.
MoNDAY.--In the Senate the Finance
Committee reported new bill providing
for free banking and the redemption and
reissue of United States notes. The
discussion of the bill to equalize the Ma
tional banking circulation was resumed,
and Mr. Morton delivered speech in
favor of an increase of the currency when
ever there is any general demand for it.
