WASHINGTON, March l9th.-
SENATE. The Senate bill to amend
section 2464 of the Revised Statutes,
relating to the cultivation of timber
on the public domain, was discussed
until the expiration of the morning
hour and laid aside.
Consideration was then resumed
of the Pacific railroad sinking
fund bill.
Eustis introduced a bill to au-
thorize the Barrataria Ship Canal
Company to construct canal from
New Orleans to the Gulf of MeXi-
co through the lands and water of
the United States and to grant to
said company the right Of way for
that purpose. Referred.
The House bill to authorize the
granting of American register to a
foreign built ship for purposes Of
the Woodruff scientific expedition
around the world, passed to-day as
it came from the House of Repre-
sentatives.
The Senate Committee on FL
nance to-day heard Secretary Sher-

HoUsE--Harrisop, Chairman of
the Committee on Civil Service
Reform, submitted the majority re-
port Of the Committee on the mat
ter of charges against Doorkeeper
Polk. 1t declares Polk to be unfit
for the responsibilities of his posi-
ton and recommends the adoption
of resolutions declaring the Office
of Doorkeeper vacant and devolv-
ing its duties on the Sergeant-at-
Arms until the appointment of

serve as q "Union Church" for timc) was in

"Sunday School Temperance Concert" thorcin
Mr.. Baxter, of Highlands, read very ablo
essay ON temperance and intcmperanco. Messrs
Mansfield, Loper and Kelsy, of the same place,
made short temperance addresses Dr. Kibbo
of New York, reviewed tho samc subject from q
medical standpoint. Miss Mansfield, of High.
lands, sung, very feelingly, very pathetic tom
peranco ballad. Mr.. Hope, of Horse Cove, gayo
very fine rendering of the hymn, "Almost
Persuaded" Tho Sunday School children
rccited verses from tho Bible and selections from
other sources, oil being on the subject of tom
perance. They acquitted themselves very
oreditably, as we'll as children usually do on
such occasions. Tho choir rendered number
of hymns with feeling and harmony. Altogether
the "Concert" was very instructive and en-
joyable ono. Tho school house isa very roomy
and tasty building, we'll lighted and ventilated,
and will scat comfortably fifty scholars, giving
each one ample desk ROOM It has been built by
contributions of money, labor and materials
from the citizens Of Highlands, with some assist
ance from tho good people Of franklin. II is
one of tho best (if not the best);school buildings
in Macon county, and deserves moro oonspicu-
GUS site than the Highland magnates have given
it. There is doubtless reason for putting it on
the North side Of hill but that reason looms
up rather family. Mr.. Holloway, gentleman
of fine ability, thorough education and much
experience us teacher, will open school on the
10Th proximo or thereabout.
Real estate business has been quite lively for
month or 80 past. There has been quito an
influx of Settlers and altogether Highland stock
