judiciary committee to inquire into the expe-
diency of increasing the number of Judges of
the Supreme Court to 13, which was agreed to.

spects.
Mr.. ingalls, moved to strike out the proviso
that one third OF the fund 60 to colleges estab.
lished under the act of 1862, his object bel ng
to devote the whole to the support of comm on
schools.
Mr.. Hamlin considered it as important to
teach teachers as to teach children He hoped
the colleges would not be neglected.
Mr.. Blaine congratulated the country upon
the disappearance of the old doctrine of strict
construction as proven by the fact that no
Democratic voice was raised to oppose bill
distributing the receipts of the public lands by
the general government.
Mr.. Ingalls, amendment was rejected
An amendment authorizing colleges estab-
lished under the act of 1862 to establish schools
for technical and industrial instruction of fe-
males was agreed to.

reported to the Senate and Tellers amend
ment being voted on it was defeated by tie

The People of Lima Confident of Repell
ing the CHILEAN Attack.
NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-Mr. E. Belgrade of
Lima, Peru, formerly of Cambridge, Mass, ar
rived yesterday. He confirms the reports re-
ceived yesterday of the movement of Chilians
towards Lima, and says: "Lima is well defend
ed and fortified. and an attack on our works
will end in defeat of the Chilians. We shall
action the defensive, for to go out on the plains
and risk a battle would be unwise. We have in
Lima 10000 troops, armed with the Peabody
rifle, and besides 5000 to 5000 National Guards
men or citizen soldiers, who drill every day
and are armed with Remington rifles. We
have ITO field guns and 100 siege guns about
the city. These we are mounting in proper
positions. The city will be surrounded with
breast works, and it will be very hazardous for
the Chilians to make an attack. The feeling
in Lima is one of complete satisfaction at the
present state of affairs. There is no apprehen-
sion that the city can be taken. The people
are united in believing that the war should be
carried to a successful termination, and any
suggestion of compromise now would be boot
ed down at once"

GRANTS NOMINATION CERTAIN.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-All the
protests against the third term, made
through Republican organs, and all the
alleged strength of Blaine and Sher-
man in different localities, will count
for nothing on the material point of the
nomination. And it will depend en-
tirely upon circumstances how much
this opposition will count forafterward.
For example, if the Democrats insist
upon laundering, as their Bourbon
leaders have constantly done of late,
no human power can prevent Grants
election. Any old hack viii be beaten
out of sight in the Presidential race.
Conkiing, Cameron, Carpenter, and
men of that stamp care nothing for
threats of detection in the future. Their
hands have been immensely strength
ened by the operation of the machine
IN Pennsy lvania, where it was possible
to have organized an imposing revolt,
and to have made decided impression
on the country. This chance was
thrown away, and cannot be recover
ed.
After New York docs better than
Pennsylvania, Illinois cannot be held
back. With this capital to start upon,
Indiana is bound to fall into line. Here
are four great States, with e round
hundred votes in the Electoral Collie
&c, and corresponding representa-
ton doubled in the National COnven-
ton. Add the Pacific States, half of
New England, and rush from the
South when the purchased delegates
for Sherman see they are to be swept
away by the current, and then the
nomination may be considered fixed
fact.
The managers do not care fig for
the people, or for circumstances, or for
menacing resolutions They ale accus
toned to ride roughshod over opposi
ton, and to dictate their policy without
considering whether it will be palata
BILE or not. The first point carried, a,
it surely will be, the next to consider
IS, can Grant be elected?
Ofcourse the third-termers would
never have gone as far as they have
done without takinga calm view of the
chances and the contingencies. Then
main dependence is on the Bourbon
Democrats. With a regular candidate
Of that brand in the field, they will fee
assured of success, and that assurance

everywhere that Grant will certainly bt
inaugurated, must operate on tens o.
