Mr. Dawes argued that the republican party
had cut down the expenses as steadily as 1t was
possible to do.
MIR. Norman said that the tables from which
he quoted he found in the record as having been
delivered in the other House Of Congress by
gentleman usually very correct. He then sent to
the clerk desk and had read the lengthy tables
prepared at the statistical bureau, to show that
the expenditures had not been reduced.
Mr.. Cragin also referred to the biennial regis
ter, to show that all the persons named in that
book were not employed in the civil service Of

Mr.. Allison argued that the bill as it came
from the House of representatives was not based
on the estimates of the enquirers. The commit
tee on appropriations had endeavored to consider
the bill in the Interest of economy, but had not
been sustained by the Senate.
Mr.. Cockril said it did not become some sena-
tors, who had voted for Improvements in their own
localities to be lectung other senators for want
ing little appropriations for their sections. lie
commented on various provisions of the bill and
argued that no senator wanted any Appropriation
stricken out where it was for river in his own
State.
Mr. Eaton, referring to the improvement at
He'll Gate, said that was a benefit to the COM
merce Of the world. When that work should be
completed, insurance and risk would be reduced.
Senators should see difference between work
Of that kind and the improvement of mountain

CEREAL government should have no control over
rivers not navigable in fact.
Mr.. Edmunds spoke at length of the constitu-
tional power of Congress to improve rivers and
hai bors, and opposed the various provisions of the
bill to improve rivers not navgable.
Pending discussion the Senate at O'Clock went

confirming certain land claims in the State of

Another Sea Serpent.
years.

We take the following from the Re-
publican of last evening:
From time immemorial travellers
on the bilIowy deep have reported un-
known monsters, which have been
designated sea serpents. Mariners
have seen these sea serpents but their
stories have generally been called sal
lor's yarns. Of late years similar
monsters have been reported in our
great fresh water lakes, but as none
have been captured the sailors ter
rible sea serpent has been assigned
a place with the mythical dragon and
phoenix. Whether any sea serpents
were ever before this time reported on
this coast we cannot say, but we cer-
tainly have we'll authenticated sea
serpent to report at last. The Won
derful monster was seen from the
deck of the steamer Los Angeles on
her last trip down, and the story is
vouched fol by three responsible. men.
However we will not anticipate, but
let one of them tell the story:
EDITOR NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
between Santa Cruz and Monterey
Light as we steamed Tor rather rolled }
along in the steamer Los Angeles, a
very remarkable sight was presented
which, to say the least, has certainly
strengthened my heretofore weak
faith in the stories l have read of "sea
serpents" w. Ii. Mills, w. B. Boy
den and myself were together on the
after part of the steamer when mon
ster thrust its head some twenty feet
out of the water several times. The
head was about two feet in diameter
at the point where it intersected the
water and was shaped like an eel,
without having any fins that we
could see. When first observed it
was about 800 feet from the vessel and
appeared to raise out of the water for
purposes of observation. 1t seemed
to be looking at the steamer and after
wards sighted whale in the immedi-
ate vicinity, with which it soon en-.
gagged in deadly combat. In this
fight the whale evidently got worsted
and was either killed outright or left
the sea monster the victor. as the SER
pent raised its head out of the water
to the height of at least 40 feet, per-
haps to discover a foe more worthy
of its steel. Mr.. Boyden and Mr..
Mills both witnessed the facts 1 have
related and the incident was the SUBJ
ject of converss ton with them until
they left the boat at Santa Barbara.
Mr.. w B. Boyden is a great traveller
having been at sea twelve years and
Mr.. w. H. Mills is capitalist. Both
will testify to the truth of the above
statement. Yours,
II. J. STEVENSON.

Decoration Day.

The ceremonies of decoration day
are suggestive, and there was beau
tiful harmony throughout the entire
celebration on Tuesday. The original
idea of such testimonial, it will be
remembered, was suggested at the
South; and after the close of the war
the happy thought was accepted at
the North. There was gracefulness
about the ceremonial that at once cap
tured the finer senslbiiities of both
sections, and we believe 1t to be but
typical of an enduring harmony of
sympathy and fraternal union that
may last for centuries to come. The
bestowal of the grateful tributes to
valor on both sides that occurred on
Tuesday is an evidence of the prev
alence of desire for future harmony
throughout the land. 1t has beside
an emotional aspect a political signifi-
canoe, and betokens the coming of q
more cordial union of the States than
has existed for number of years.
The occasion is welcomed by all, and
can be but productive of good to all
classes and sections. 1t teaches US
that while we may differ upon certain
technical questions of political econo-
my there is among us common in
terest and common destiny. Trifles
oftentimes settle the fate of individ-
uals, and these incidents are often the
evidences of the existence Of SUBJ

stantial fundamental principle under
lying all of our institutions. The
Union soldier who has borne the bur-
dens of the field participates in the
laying of tribute upon the grave of an
opponent whose last resting place is
being honored and consecrated, that
is experienced by the comrades of the
dead on either side. Let the dead past
bury the dead, and may the flowers of
yesterday be but the type of the fra
GRANGE of a future harmonious union.
None but the sordid can object to this
harmonious demonstration, and none
can question its utility in social and
political point of view, but those who
would ever keep alive the animosity
of the past and transmit the unpleas-
ant memories of other days, in kind
of mean, vindictiveness. We know
the occasion and rejoice in the frater-
nal spirit manifested.
