FOREIGN NEWS.

Advices from Spain report heavy fighting, in
which the Carlists have been badly worsted. A
committee of Austrian mobiles. which has
hitherto contributed literally for the Carlist
cause, has advised Don Carlos to conclude a
peace with Alfonso.
Full particulars of the loss of the steamer
Japan have been published, and the disaster
turns out to have been quite as frightful as the
Cospatrick affair. Nearly 500 human beings
were either drowned or burned to death.
The reports from Spain are conflicting and
utterly unreliable. One day we hear that the
Qarlists have been badly whipped, another that
they are victorious. and 30 on. 1t seems evil
dent that the army of King Alfonso has not
been achieving the victories claimed in the
Madrid kilograms aud it is more than probable
that it has met with great disaster. The
Carlist committee in Lon.lon claims a great
victory, and puts the Spanish loss at 1000 men

WAsHIN iToN Feb. 10-Tne following is a
summary of the present condition and pros
poets of the public Business: Congress closes
it's session three weeks from tomorrow. A COM
parison of the number of the bills introduced
some 6.0)0-with the number passed at the first
session, and which will probably pass at this
session. will be found to be the most remark
able for any Congress in the history of the gov
eminent. Since the reassembling, Jan. s. but
three important acts-the Civil Rights bill, the
Finance BILL and the Little Tariff act-have
passed either house. This delay has not been
the fault of the regular or the special COM
mittees. OF the appropriation bills two have
finally passed, one is in conference, and
nine remain to be acted upon. These must be
acted upon or an extra SEES sion will be necessary
large number of bills must fail. As to the
Civil Rights measure each house has passed a
separate bill. The variance between them may
possibly lead to the defeat of both.
The Louisiana question is in great doubt. The
special committee viii return this week, but
want of time may negative conclusions. The
proposed reconstruction of Arkansas is already
settled by the adverse report made by the
special committee to the House on Saturday,
Notwithstanding the Presidents message.
The transportation question will certainly fail,
except in the way of appropriations to continue
surveys. The Hennepn Canal scheme. which
is regarded most favorably lacked strength in
the House on SATURDAY. The Texas Pacific
and Northern Pacific bills, the Clloctaw claim
the cotton-tax refund, the patent sewing
machine extension reported on adversely the
Bayfield, and ST. Croix project and all of the
additional bounty bills, will all fall through
Col. Tom Scott's friends claim that they will
be able to put the Texas Pacific bill on an appro-
priation bill as an amendment Two new
States are applying for admission Mexico
and Colorado-and probably the latter will sue
coed. Both of these bills have passed the
House, and now lie on the Senate calendar.

ration by the Ways and Means Com nittee. is
one of the few bills that will not fail. The

it. This viii defeat all the measures pending

The private calendar in the Senate has re-
ceived quite a liberal treatment but in the

jections have been made, shall be rejected, ex-
cept by the affirmative vote of the two houses
When the two houses have voted, they shall
Immediately reassemble, and the presiding Off
Ger shall then announce the decision of the
question submitted And any ether question
pertinent to the object for which the two houses
are assembled may be submitted and deter
mined in like manner.

dent and Vice-President in such State,

presence of the two houses. when assembled to
count the votes and that return shall be count
ed which the two houses acting separately,
shall decide to be the true and valid return"
The remaining sections of the bill limit each
Senator and Representative to ten minutes in
speaking on any one question provided that,
after such debate has lasted two hours, the
majority of each house may direct the main
question to be pu., without debate, and pro-
vided that the joint meeting of the two houses

are all counted and the result announced; but

other friends. Addresses were delivered
by Coils. A. Il. Boteler and VIM. \. Nor
gan, which were very appropriate to the
occasion, and were received with hearty
cheers. After 'feast of reason and a
flow of SOUL" over half-doZen kettles OF
excellent soup, and other INGREDIENTS,
the company was formed in line and the
following resolutions were adopted
REsoLvED-That we hold the next an
nual reunion on the first Saturday III Au-
gust, 1876.
REsoLvED-That Il vote of thanks be
rendered to Coils. Boteler and Morgan fol-
their eloquent addresses on the occasion
also CrisWell'S COrnct Band for music
furnished, and to VIM. L. I.cmcn for the
Use of Spring and grounds.

the death of our brother-in-arms, Mr..
John Reed, Jr., who died since our last
reunion.
REsoLvED-That j. +. Welshans be
made permanent Secretary and Jacob
Wintermoycr, Treasurer.

We regret that circumstances beyond
our control prevented us from being pres
ent, But had we been present we could
not have made speech, as was designed,
from the fact that we would have been
''too full for utterance." We mean OF
"soup," not of INGREDIENTS. That "spe-
cial committee" has waited upon us, and
we are willing to pay 4 reasonable fine
for non-attendance, rather than be con-
fined in the 'guard-house."
