FORTY-FIFTu CONGRESS.
Second Session.


Mr.. Sargent, from the Committee ON Naval
Afiairs reported back the revolutions OF the
Philadelphia Council, asking Congress to
make sufficient appropriation to protect from
overflow the League Island navy yard, and
asked that the committee be discharged.
The committee thought probablv it would
be better to purchase site for yard at some
other point The committee was DISCHARGED.
The committee on the whole agreed, l27 to
-, to the amendment by Herbert to le.isla-
tive appropriation bill fixing pay and rcgu-
latin. the selection Of jurors. and repeating
the jurors test oath.
The post Office appropriation bill was taken
up.
When the Brazilian mail subject amend
mcnt on the post office appropriation bill
reached Mr.. Beck. he made a point OF order
that ii was not gcrlnsin to the bill. that it was
new legislation.
The Senate, by ycas 80, nays -, decided
the amendment in order.
Mr.. Blaine and Mr.. lIamlin voted aye.

The House went into committee of the
"hol" ON the legislative appropriation bill.
\ point Of order against the amendment re-
pcaling Jurors test Uaths was discussed and
uycrrulcd. The chairman, Mr.. Blackburn,
decided il was in order.
hlll was passed for the relief Of the Rich
mond Female Institute.
point OF order on I'll" amendment repeal
lhg the law creatin. supervisors of election,
Was discussed and ovcrrulcd.
In the discussion Mr.. Hale of Maine, stated
he would use every parliamentary device to
defeat it,
Mr.. Southland argued in advocacy of his
amendment
Mr.. Durham argued that all the machinery
OF elections ought to tc controlled by the
State governments and not by the Federal
government.
Mr.. Iial" argued in opposition. saving in
conclusion that the republican side Of the
House believe that II tins law Is stricken from
tn" statutes. tn" Laws of the several States
afford no protection to Il citizen when he
seeks it. believe that if these laws are re-
pcalcd the safeguard of the voter in a large
portion of the Mon is wrcncltd away from
HIM, and he i left exposed to his prosecutors.
'Ihi. side has thas far simply consented itself
with It's minority vote, and welded to the rev
olution ot the jury box and repeal of test
oath.. but if this thin. b" further insisted on,
want the gentlemen on the other side to
understand that we here in the last days
of the session, and that this measure is sought
t" be projected III an appropriation bill, with
the belief that this side will consent to it.
We have sat here night and day and aided
the other side to pas appropriation bill after
appropriation bill. Last Monday we voted
almost solldly to suspend the rules and pass
the deficiency bill, to avoid lwhst no sane
man in the country wants an extra session.
We dld the same thing with the bill making
an appropriation for pension arrears. and

much ability and success. The examination was very
full ard satisfactory to the patrons and teacher.
The next Department under the immediate
charge of Miss Amos, and of higher grade. The
exercises consisted of reading, geography, and e1
ercises on the blackboard. The little ones were
quick and prompt in their to questions, and
the exercises on the black board truly interest
ing and amusing. The examination disclosed much
labor and patience the part Of the teacher, and
praiseworthy advancement the part of the pupils
The examination of the next Department, of n
higher grade, under the management of Miss Eva
Wood, was interesting and instructive. The exer-
cises in the higher branches of arithmetic &c
ography, and reading. 1t was amusing to see their
performance at the black-board-to with what
facility and aptitude they would demonstrate and
solve every problem and then turn their faces, with
air of anxious delight toward the teacher, to re-
celve the smile Of approval
We next witnessed the examination of the scholars
of Prof 7. ii. Dinsmore Jr Principal of the school
The exercises in the higher branches Of aritl-
metic, and exercises on the blackboard. The exam
ination was thorough and profound, and showed the
Professor to be well posted in his profession. He
closed his school with a feeling address, thanking
them for their confidence, and bid them affcton-
ate farewell. OBSERVER.
