MASHINGTON, Jan. 70.
Many of the men bers of Congress
having returned from their homes, there
is no reason to suppose that there will not
be quorum in both Houses tomorrow
for the resumption OF business.
The general sentiment among them is
that they should first see to what extent
the appropriations can be reduced before
they consider the subject Of assistance to
the Treasury, either in the form OF uddi-
tional taxation or as temporary convert
ible loan, the latter finding more favor
than the former mode Of relief
After the morning hour in the House,
the time will be devoted to the calling of
States for bills and resolutions.
The consideration Of the Supplemental
ny Civil Rights bill will be resumed a.
the special order, and will be debated on
Monday and Tuesday, Oh the latter day
until 4 p. M, when the discussion viii
close.
Representative Stephens, of Georgia,
and Representative Lamar, of Miysi-.ip-
pi, are expected to speak against the bin,
which, it is said by its friends, will m-
doubtedly pass.

A Terrible Machine.

IT WILL BLOW A SHIP HIGHER THAN
GILDERoY's KITE.
Mr.. Lays torpedo, which it is expect
ed will be bought by Congress, is most
remarkable instrument of war. One of
them has been completed at Newport,
and the results achieved with il are mar
velous in the extreme. The machine is
propelled by carbolic acid gas, generated
on the boat, and can be sent in any d.
rection under the water for distance
of two or three miles. A man on the
ship or on the shore, guides it by means
of a magnetic wire, by which he can ex-
plode it ct any moment. 1t may natur-
ally be asked, How is he to know
where the machine is, when it is sub
merged, and how is he to know it went
direct on its mssion?" Attached to
the boat, as 10 the case of harbor torpe-
does, is small stick, but, unlike the
others, it erects itself above the surface.
IL
location of the boat, and when it touch
es the ship, bang. and away she goes.
But this brings another question: "Sup-
pose those aboard the vessel it is attempt
ed to destroy, observe the approach OF
the stick, and what it is, what is to pre-
vent them from lowering boat, getting
behind the torpedo, and cutting the
wires?" Simply this Attached to the
stern of the torpedo is a smaller one,
aud when the boat draws near, the tor
pedo is moved 10 position, and the
smaller one is discharged at the boat,
smashing it to pieces and killing those
in it. This is the Lay torpedo, a de-
structive, horrible engine against which
there is no escape.
The Ericsson torpedo has just been
completed on Long Island, where its in
ventor has been privately experimenting
with it. 1t is large affair, about
twelve feet long and three wide, and re-
minds one in very striking manner of
a huge coffin. Like the Lay, it is in
tended to be used from one vessel against
another, but it differs from it in many
details. 1t is operated by compressed
air, ON the ship it is sent from, through
a flexible canvass pipe Its position is
ascertained in the same manner as Lays,
and when it has approached the object
of attack, within two hundred feet, the
bomb, which has been contained in the
cofin-like shell, is discharged by the
compressed air, and striking the vessel,
is exploded by percussion shell, shat
tering the ship to pieces.
