FROM WASHINGTON,

The committee on ways and means
have considered without coming to cOnclu-
sion, the bill proposed by Fernando Wood,
to increase the volume OF four and a half
per cent. bonds from S2OO,OOOOOO to $780,
OOO, 900, and to extend the time for their re-
dempton from Il to 80 years. The secretary
was before the comIzittee in advocacy,of the
bill.
The house committee on appropria-
tions has completed the fOrtification bill, ap-
prOpriating for the projections preservation
and repair of the Notifications, and other
works of defense, 500, 900; for the CONVEX
sion of heavy ordnance, 100000; for pro-
jectiles for heavy ordnance, $25, 600; for car
riages for heavy guns, $4,000; for proving
ground and proving cannon, So, 900; for tor
pedoes, $4,000.
The arguments before the house COM
mittee on agriculture show that there is a
probability that the railroad and cattle men
can agree with the agents for the prevention
Of cruelty to animals, upon bill regulating
cattle transportation. The cattle men only
insist that the law shall be uniform as to all,
and equally enforced. The greatest diff
Guilty that the bill will have to encounter in
the committee is the doubt of some of the
members as to the constitutional right of
congress tc regulate interstate commerce.
The house postoffice committee are
vigorously pushing their investigation on the
straw bid swindling, and have got leave to
sit during sessions of the house for the pur-
pose of facilitating their work. Mr.. Scud-
der, president of the Memphis and St Louis
packet company, testified on Tuesday that
previous TO 1870 his company carried the
mails between st. Louis and Vicksburg for
81 900 per annum. In 1870 straw bid man
got the contract for So, SlO the company bid
ding $1,000. In three months the straw bid
der failed, and ignoring the company's bid,
the department let the contract to one DIR.
Peterson for $4,000, which was subsequently,
increased to $27 200, Peterson employing the
company to carry the mails al $4,000.
Before the house committee on expen
ditures of the state department, few days
ago, Chas. +. Farrell, for several years consul
at Cadiz, was examined at length by the
chairman in reply 10 the assumptions of
Parson Newman. Mr.. Farrell exposed the
system of undervaluation at the ports from
which wines are shipped, and said that from
1862 to 1866 the United States were robbed
in this way in ports south of the Irish chan
mel to Naples of from twenty to thirty mil
lions of dollars. The small salaries of con-
suls at ports where large shipments are made
OF goods requiring an advalOrem duty in
duces the merchants at the ports to make
the life of the cOnsuls as luxurious as posi-
bic, and in that way secure the certiGcatlon
of invoices at the lowest figure.

CoIyis,ons of SIMS and Stars.

When we duly take all these things
into the account, the case of our solar
system will appear as only one of thou
sand cases Of evolution and dissolution
with which the heavens furnish us.
Other stars, like our sun, have undoubt-
edly started as vaporOus masses, and
have thrown off planets in contracting.
The inference may seem a bold one, but
after all it involves no other assumption
than that of the continuity of natural
phenomena. 1t is not likely, therefore,
that the solar system viii be forever left
to itself. Stars which strongly gravitate
toward each other, while moving through
a perernialIy resisting medium, must in
time be drawn together. The collision
of our extinct with one of the Pleia-
des. after this manner, would very
likely suffice to generate even grander
nebula than the one with which we
started. Possibly, the entire galactic
system may, in an inconceivably remote
future. remodel itself in this way; and
possibly the nebula from which our own
group of planets have been formed may
have owed its origin to the disintegration
of systems which had accomplished
their career in the depths of the by-gone
