Ltght-ship Sold at Auction.

The stratford shoal ight-ship was sold at auction at Staten Island, Wednesday, for $1,010 She is about seventy-fye feet long, and first placed on Stratford Shoal in 1888, when, as one of the lighthouse board says, the lighthouse establishment of the United States had neither system nor science. The light ship broke adrift in storm in Febru- ary, 1857, and in 1866 she again parted her moorings The old craft has drifted all over the Sound, thumped for days on the rocks, been embedded in the ice, and been run into many times. She will probably be used yet awhile for short coasting trips.

FoRTY-sIXTH CONGRESS.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 14,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.
 SENATE-Mr. Davis, of West Virginia, by direction of majority of the Committee on Appropriations, reported fayorably on the House joint resolution providing for the ad- journment of Congress from December 23 to January 5. The resolution was disagreed to, yeas 27, nays 31. Of the twenty y-seven in favor the only Democrats were Messrs Mo Pherson, Ransom, Vest, Wallace, Withers and Davis of Illinois Of the thirty-one vot- ing nay the only Republicans were Messrs. Blair, Hamlin, Ingalls, and Plumb.
 At the expiration of the morning hour the educational bill came up as the regular order. MT. Jones, of Florida, argued that the fund was so small that the entire amount should be applied annually to the public school fund of the States without supervision by the gen. eral government He also opposed setting aside any portion of this small fund for the support of the agricultural college.
 An amendment proposed by Mir. Bailey, that the proceeds of the sales of public lands and the receipts for patents shall be credit of the fund, bearing interest at 4 per cent, instead of being invested in bonds of the United States, was agreed to.
 An amendment was proposed by MT. HFel- Ter to apply the proceeds annually instead of ! creating fund, the interest on which only should be used, which was after prolonged l debate agreed to- yeas 31, nays 30.
 MT. Herman moved to strike out the sixth section, which gives to the commissioner of I education power to withhold his certificate on which payment is to be made, in case State in his judgment fails to comply with the terms of the act rejected, yeas 9. nays 37. MT. Ingalls, moved to strike out the clause | applying third of the fund in each State l and Territory to the support of agricultur al colleges already established under the act of 1862; rejected without a division.
 | MT. Morgan then offered his amendment to amend the agricultural act so as to author ize each State and Territory to establish in said colleges schools for the instruction of l females in such branches of technical educa- l tion as are suitable to their sex; adopted. Various verbal amendments to the bill were made in committee and the bill was reported to the Senate. MT. Teller's amendment was rejected by tie vote, yeas 28, nays 28. The bill was then passed by a vote of fl to 6. and at 6:15 p. m. the Senate adjourned till Mon day.
 HoUsE-The House was engaged all the afternoon in the consideration of private bills, the majority of which were for pen sions. Fifteen bills were disposed of. An
