SENATE.
! The Senate resumed the consideration. OF
the bill repeating the bankrupt law. which
/ was. dis eussed till the Adjournment to Mon
i day. 81 's.'
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
f. The House to-day passed the bill fixing
the salaries OF the naval officers and the sur
veyor at the port OF New Orleans ar the
same rate as those received by similar
officers In Philadelphia, San Francisco, and
other cities.
The legislative appropriation bill was
further considered. but no final action was
taken.
In to-night's session OF the House Mr..
Chalmers. OF Mississippi, spoke in behalf OF
the claims OF the South for southern inn
proyements, and especially for the passage
OF the Texas-and-Pacitc railway bill, now
pending. He asked: "Shall these things
be done for US, and IL not, why? II they
fail to be done, our southern members will
be largely responsible for the failure.
Enough northern men, without regard to
| party, viii, as they always have where north
ern improvements were concerned, cling to-
gether and the Northern Pacific will be car
ried through, notwithstanding your anti
| subsidy resolution, passed by two thirds OF
FbuiS lIouSe. i lie subsidies 10 the n OrCnCrn
Pacific will be renewed and extended for ten
years, and the grant OF lands in this case
will secure the building of the road. It
runs through magnificent agricultural
country, and the demands for the lands will
accomplish the purpose. The Government,
as we know, built the Union and Central
Pacific roads, and filled Minnesota, Iowa,
and Kansas with their branches; and south
ern men will sit by and see the Northern
Pacific built in the same way, while, per-
haps, the TeXas-Paclfic will be defeated.
Hugging the mutilated body OF State
rights to their bosoms, agonizng over
the fossil remains OF the resolutions Of
'9S and 100, and eXhausting their energies
over peayune reductions in the appropria-
tons and expenditures, they will see their
section left in poverty and want, while the
tide OF wealth and empire rolls over the
northern States. Sir, l mourn over such
representatives as Bulwer mourned over
the bright class-mate Of bis college days,
whom lie found in after years poor curate
delying into the roots OF the Greek tongue,
or, as he expressed it, wasting the ener-
gies OF an immortal soul over the effete par
ticles OF 4 dead language"
