FIsH-WAy ON THE PoToaAc.-~Qn Monday
Mr. o'BHIES, o6i Maryland, presented the
ISN'T resolution Of the Maryland Legislature
for tish.way at the Great Falls Of the Poto-
mac river. What the resolution provides
we do not know, but We are gratified to see
a measure in process for the establishment OF
a fsh-way at so conspicuous point. One
established there could aot fail to give a
stimulus to the policy Of facilitating the pas
sage of fish towards the heads Of rivers, to
the infinite benefit of the people. But be-
sides this great number of the people OF
Virginia are Immediately interested IL the
construction of fsh-way at the Great Falls.
At that place there should be constructed a.
model one. 1t could be seen SO readily by
people from al directions who are led by
business Or pleasure to The Federal capital.

One of the wonders of the DAY is that
there should be any feeling In the South
alien to the construction of the Southern
Pacific railway. For we are not likely to
haYe>anolher offered TO US that is more prac-
tical aud has more strength to back it than
that now psSaing. The opposition is weak
in numbers AID extent, but nevertheless
active. The letter from BEv. DOUGLAS on
the Pacific road has afforded this opposition
q temporary satisfaction, because it takes
exception to some poinsss IN the Pacific bill.
Whens Mr. DeuGLAs wsote he evidently
had not read the bill as now determined
upon. 1t obviates bis objections, we are
sure. 1t does rot call for a Gosidy upon
a railroad that is built; but distinctly ex-
cludes it. We have mot doubt that Mr.
DOUGLAS will foie for the bill.

mendation that the same be- preferred to the
Committee for Courts of Justice, was taken
up and the Recommendation OF the committee
agreed to.
THE wHIPPEG.PosT.
Senate bill! to amend section IA OF chapter
1873 of the Code of 1878, in relation to petit
larceny, reported from the Committee for
Courts OF Justice with the recommendation
that 1t do not pass, was taken up. The bill
provides for the abolition OF the whipping
post.]
Mr.. ALLAN addressed the Senate in favor
of repeating the law, and alluded to the ad.
ministration OF the lash to disreputaoe
white woman of Danylle during the past
year as being alone sufficient to induce the
General Assembly to repeal the law.
Mr.. CLARK explained to the Senate that
every other punishment had been resorted TO
10 her case, and had failed. The lash had
had the desired effect, and if 1t would do as
much good In other parts OF the State as had
been the case ip Danyille, he hoped the law
would not be repealed.
Mr.. HERSDoN, chairman Of the committee.
said that the committee had concluded that
there was no other punishment that would
break up petty thieving in the State; that
because there had been one case of hardship
in the last fifty years, was no reason why a
good thing should be abolished.
The bill was rejected, and the recommen.
datien Of the committee concurred in.

The CHAIR laid before the Senate com.
munication from the Executive, inclosing
communication from the Attorney. General
in relation to the expenses of the Virginia
Maryland Commission; which, on motion oil
Mr.. BLAND, was ordered to be printed and
referred to the Committee on Federal Rela-
tions.
THE CONTESTED ELECTION CASE.
At 70 O'Clock the johnson contested-elec-
ton case was taken up, the question being
on agreeing to the substitute proposed by
Mr.. BLAND to the report of the committee.
Mr.. Penn, being entitled to the floor, ad-
dressed the Senate for two hours in advocacy
of the substitute proposed by Dir. BLAND.
Mr.. CR1rcHER followed Mr. PENN, and adj
vocated the rtport of the committee.
At the conclusion OF Mr.. CRITCBER's re-
marks Mr.. DANIEL said that it was obvious
that vote could not be reached by We'd
nesday at ?. N. He believed the senator
from Alexandria Mr.. CLAUGHT0Sl desired to
speak in behalf of bis report, the sitting mem.
Der also desired to represent the people, and
the chairman of the committee by parlia.
mentary privilege is entitled to close the de-
bate.
Mr.. QUEsENBERRY said that he felt sure
when the resolution was first adopted that 1t
would have to be rescinded, and it was now
very evident that such was the case. He
therefore moved to reconsider the vote by
which the resolution had been agreed to-.
Agreed to.
On melton of Mr.. QUEsESBERRY the time
was extended to Thursday at P. NJ, unless
vote is sooner reached.

WASHINGTON.
Surveys Stopped.


Washington, June 2S.-The House
committee on appropriations has
struck from one of their appropriation
bills the item of $50, 900 for continuing
the geographical surveys under the
War Department in charge of Lieut..
Wheeler. This survey has been in
operation since 1871 and has covered
and mapped about 100000 square
miles Of n region of country hitherto
unsurveyed and practically unknown
as regards its physical features and
resources. The information gathered
is of the highest value to the govern
ment and all interested now located
in the region traversed, and to all such
enterprises as are seeking profitable
investment. Besides the maps great
deal OF valuable information has been
gathered and portion published, em-
bracing paleontology, natural history,
climatology, agricultural and mineral
resources, etc., all of which is of inn
mediate interest. The organization of
surveying, persOnelle, instruments and
equipments have been brought to n
high standard, and If dissolved for
even a period of one year would incur
loss to the government and national
interests that could not be restored in
a number of years to come.
Ne,o 1ferico Can't Come In.
The House committee on Territories
has postponed further action on the
Senate bill for the admission of New
