ters named John Collins and Peter F. Dunn from

aud later in the day his confederate also. The

NEW YORK HARBOR BUOYS.

The Pilot Commissioners have recently been ex-
erting their influence with the Light House Board
In washington to induce them to replace the can
and nunbuoys in New York harbor and keep them
there during the winter months. For some years
past 1t has been the custom to substitute spar
Duoys for the can ana nun buoys during the severe
months. Last winter both spar and can buoys
were kept down, and, as the Ice happened to DC
away. The pilots now complain that In thick
weather II Is very hard to get along without the
can and nun buoys, Us spar buoys, when coaked
with snow or ice do not easily catch the eye. The
Light House Board plead poverty IN reply TO the
request OF the Pilot Commissioners, and decline
replacing the spar buOys with can or nun buoys.
They, however, add that perhaps they may be able
to put down o lew canbuOy5 at some OF the most
important points. IL Is so essential to the safety
OF the transatlantic steamers and large vessels
drawing twenty-six feet OF water to have the
channels properly bu0yed that II the government
cannot afford that expense the steamer and shlu
owners will probably have TO combine together
and do the work themselves.

TIE CINCINNATI DIAMOND THEFT.
Release OF Nj. c. Dickson. Arrested in
PitfsburC for the Robbery.

PITTsBCR0, Jan. 20, 1874.
NJ C. Dickson, arrested last night on suspicion Of
being Of the party who made the great haul OF dia-
monds in Cincinnati, on Saturday. was released this
evening. He maintained that he was an agent for
Tinany Co., Of New York, ana stoutly declared his
innocence OF any crime. Teegraphic dispatches
from several firms in New York were found on his
person. He denied that he had any
him TO New York, but on being searched 81, 400
was found seereted in his clothing. There were
also found pawn tickets for about $1,000 worth OF
diamonds which had been put up with sne pawn
brokers'. To-day telegram was sent 10 James

district, North Caroline, who replied to the effect
that Dickson was one OF his constituents anu
man OF property ana character.
message was also received from Randel,
Baremore Il Co., of Nassau street, New YORK, to
the effect that they had frequently sold diamonds

bill restoring the ranking privilege to limited
extent.
A New Rule to Abolish the Monday
General Debate Order.
The House passed the whole of this afternoon in
passing o new rule. There is custom which has
brought the lower branch Of Congress into aisre
pute, II not contempt. Any member who can get
the Speakers ear or eye on Monday OF each week
after certain hour, or on the last ten days of the
session, can offer an thing In the shape of reso-
luton and If any one objects to 1t he can move to
suspend the rules, and If two-thirds vote for the
suspension he can carry it. II two-tnirds do not
vote for 1t he has accomplished an object in putting
members on record by the aye and no vote. Some
times this is considered wonderful achievement
of craftsmanship, but most Of the time 1t is the
smallest sample OF the parliamentary potato bust
ness. Any subject from an ambiguous expression
as to the currency to the necessity Of hanging
rope to the moon, can be thus voted on The
time thus consumed Is illustrated by the vote
of Monday two weeks ago, when the House
made three votes on the currency, for Kelley's
imitation, one for HOlman's non-taxatiOn and one
for General Hawley for neither of both. The farce
was carried on during the war to entrap the
minority, by shrewd d0uble-eptendres so as to
make the democrats seem to be against the war
and for 1t. IL was once checked by take OF Of Cox,
who, after dozen buncombe resolutions. offered
one-''That the rebellion be and the same is hereby
abolished" 1t was carried and stopped the non-
sense for some weeks. 1t has broken out SO badly
again that the Committee on Rules took 1t up and
reported a rule some ten days ago. Then it was
recommitted. Now II comes back, reported by Mr..
Maynard. At once it was assailed by Edridge,
Holman, Potter and others, and then by Hale Of
Maine and Dawes, when Butler ScoHeld ana
others came to the rescue. 1t looked II the con-
test were struggle for the leadership
between Dawes ana Butler The Massachusetts
members showed much feeling, but their feeling
did not affect the House. 1t was determined to
stop this foolish cap-trap voting on Mondays on
abstract matters, and the votes ran in this direc
ton. Votes were taken to lay on the table and on
other ureitminarias until the flibpstering began,

thirds majority republican, VIII never surmount.
Some OF the dismayed republicans, anxious TO un.
load, are ready to throw Howard overheard and
help tighten the republican party. He has been
dead weight for over six years, and ought to be
able to take care Of himself by this time The day
OF philanthropy and tabernacles has gone for
ever, and stowaways cannot find sympathy with
the party any longer,
Removal Of Duty from Licorfce.
Early in the present session OF Congress Mr..
Davis of Virginia, introduced bill to rebate the
duty on licorice and other ingredients used in the
manufacture of tobacco, snuf, &c. The bill is yet
pending before the committee, but the matter will
be pressed and there IL reason TO believe that
favorable report will be made. If passed, the
benefit of the measure will inure chiefly to the
manufacturer of inferior articles of tobacco and to
the manufacturer OF snur, but all classes will be
more or less benefited IL will place American
manufactures upon footing with foreign manu.
features, and allow fair competition In all markets.
The PrOprfety Of Reducing the Publica-
ton OF Documents.
The joint Committee on Printing held their first
meeting this session to-day, and commenced an
informal discussion OF the. prOpriety and best
means of reducing the publication of public docu-
ments. There will be further interchange OF views
before taking any action on the subject.
Economy In Public Buildings.
Supervising Architect of the Treasury Mullett
who YVES before the House Committee on Appro-
priations to-day gave detailed statement of the
condition of the public buildings in process of con.
strncton, and said his revised estimates were cut
down to the lowest possible figure. and that the
sums asked for were absolutely necessary to pros
cute work on the government buildings already
commenced. 1t is known that. although the COM
mittces OF the two houses on public buildings
and grounds have taken no formal action, they
are in accord on the point that they will not rec
ommend appropriations for public works not
already commenced
Extension of the Union Pacific Railroad.
Mr.. II. II. Day, OF New York, was before the
House Committee on Judiciary this morning, adj
vocating subsidy OF bonds and lands for the ex-
tension of the central branch Of the Union Pacific
Railroad Company. This company Is seeking TO
extend its road from the present western terminus
to the Union Paci1c--a distance OF 200 mies-;md
