the Committee should go on with the work.
1t was ordered that a subcommittee
should leave for New Orleans on Thursday,
January I'd. and Messrs. Teller, Kirkwood,
Cameron, Bailey and Garland were desig-
mated as such a committee. After finish
ing up in New Orleans they will 60 to South
Carolina.
Before this resolution was adopted there
was discussion as to the prospect of conf
pleting the investigation at this session.
Mr.. Garland wanted the date of the de-
parture of the Committee postponed until
Thursday, January 9th, and Mr.. Teller OBJ
jected on the ground that the work should
lay, because it was desirable to close up the
whole business before the 4th of March.
American Wheat in spain.
According to dispatch just received at
the Department of State from the American
Consul at Barcelona, the first cargo of
American wheat ever received in that city
arrived about the middle of November.
Great interest was excited in Barcelona
thereby. Samples were freely and inter-
estedly handled on the Exchange on the
day of arrival, and it was immedia ely rec
ognized as equal to Black Sea and Hunga-
rian wheat.
The cargo consisted of 72, 600 bushels, and
sold at 19 francs per 55 Kilograms, or about
$40 per 100 pounds. 1t appears that all
the parties concerned in this first enter
prise were highly pleased.
This first cargo was brought to Barcelona
in an English steamer, the freight upon it
amounting to $4,000, and the same steamer
was again chartered to bring another cargo.

LEGISLATIVE APPROPRIATION BILL.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3O.-The House Com
mittee on Appropriations has finished the
preparation of the Legislative Appropria-
ton Bill. 1t contains provision to trans
fer the Coast Survey from the Treasury to
the Interior Department, in accordance
with the recommendation of the National
Academy of Science, and to consolidate the
various geological and geographical surveys
into one organization, all to be under one
head. 1t also abolishes the office of Sur
veyors General in The several States and
Territories. The scheme is opposed by the
Corps of Engineers of the Army and the
friends of the present system.
UNITED STATES DISTRICT ATTORNEYS.
When Congress reassembles several Sem

ting stop to the petty espionage over the
small whisky and tobacco dealers who. for

are bounded down and fined without the
least benefit to the public treasury, but
merely for the purpose of increasing the
revenues of the District Attorneys and
Marshals. Attorney General Devens has
been conferred with on the subject, and ad-
mits that great wrongs have been practced
He will cooperate with those engaged in
the movement to bring about reform.
THE BERLIN MISSION.
AS to the Berlin mission, the latest ru-
NOR is that John A. Kasson, of Iowa, now
Minister to Austria, will be promoted to
Berlin, and some one else select ed for vi
emma. There may be some truth in this,
for Mr.. kasson is good German scholar,
and has no doubt much improved since his
residence at the Austrian Court, and there
are numerous instances of such promotions
on the records of the State Department.
Other rumors say it has been decided to
tender the Berlin mission to Ex-senator
Fenton, of New York.

BROOKLYN, Dec. 30.-Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher, in the course of his sermon yes
terday, referred to the policy of the United
States toward the Indians. He said that to
them we send the Gospel and with them we
make treaties, and then in our after dealing
with them we violate every principle of the
Gospel. The nation had shown itself utter
ly unable to take care of the Indians, but
had given them over to the "bummers' of
civilization, who provoke quarrels, and
then the nation starts out an armed band to
destroy the Indians. At the Judgment Day
no nation will stand more Infamous for at
trocities, injustice and blood-red cruelty un-
provoked than this proud, liberty-loving
United States of America.
