There are over $50 bills on the
calendar of the Senate, more than
fifty of which are of a private ma

those of an important character
which will be pressed to a vote this

bills recently reported from the
Committee on Railroads to provide
sinking fund for the settlement oil
the debt due from the Union and
Central Pacific Railroads; Mr.. Nor
rilrs educational bill, and the bill

the act of May 81, 1870, to enforce
the rights of citizens to vote so as
to meet the objections recently ex-
pressed in the decision of the Su-
preme Court.
In addition to these bills there
are several resolutions to be consid-
cred, and some of them, if taken up,
will cause lengthy discussions, es.
pecially the State rights resolution
Of Mr.. Morton, submitted early in
the session, for which Mr.. Whyte,
of Maryland, has submitted a sub
stitute.
Mr.. Morton has an elaborate
speech prepared in reference to his
resolution; but as it will be impossi-
bic to pass it without long debate
it will probably be allowed to go
over to the next session.
Mr.. Sergeant will make every
effort to have some action taken to
prevent the influx Of Chinese to this
country. There are two resolutions
on that subject now before the Sen
ate-one, submitted by Mr. Sargent
requesting the President to have
the treaty with China modified SC
as to restrict the immigration, and
the other, submitted by Mr.. Ed
munds, instructing the Committee
on Commerce to inquire what legis
lation, if any, is necessary on the
subject.
+. There is also a resolution before
the Senate, that reported from the
/ Committee on Privileges aad Elec
lions, to pay p. B. S. Pinehback the
compensation and mileage of a Sen

for and regulate the counting Of
votes for President and Vice Presi

| is pending, and that will he called
up at an early day. The numerous
bills of less importance, now on the
calendar and yet to be received
from the House Of Representatives
will occupy two or three weeks at
least to say nothllg Of the appro-
priation bills yet to be acted on,
