WASHINGTON, December n.--The session
of the Senate to-day was thinly attended,
and everybody was anxious to get through
as to leave for the holidays. The discus
sion in the Senate to-day showed mani
fest disposition TO regulate the officers OF
United States courts, clerks, marshal and
attorneys, by giving them fixed salaries
and abolishing all fees, and q. measure OF
this character is likely to pass.
The nomination of ex-senator Howe to
be Postmaster Gneeral is regarded here as
further step in the Stalwart programme,
which looks to the retirement of all the
Half Breeds as rapidly as occasion offers.
A strong fight is still kept up on Defrees

sticking qualities,
+. The Morrill, tariff revision bill, which pro,
yides for the appointment OF q commission
of citizens to revise the tariff, has been en-
dorsed by the Senate Finance Committee.
Ii is claimed tonight that Cameron has
upset the slate for House committees, and
that Speaker keifer is now re-organizing
them, and the indications are that this is
correct to Il certain extent.
The news of the rescue OF portion oil the
crew OF the Jeannctte has created consider
able interest here, and many dispatches
have been sent the Herald for late particu-
lars. but as yet nothing has been received.
Spence Wallace has been confirmed as

versation. and is both affirmed and denied.

the same BY the people, accepted some
theories as true and drew conclusions from
the same which answered the purpose OF
the discourse we'll As has already been stat
ed. Father Gull is pleasing, earnest and en-
tertaining talkeF, and in this series OF SER
mons he has attracted quite large num-
Der of nom Catholics to his church to hear
his able and scholarly addresses on the
various subjects he has handled during
advent. of course, in each and every one
OF his sermons he held up the Catholic as
the only true church, the first church OF
the universe, but he did this in a manner
that would not offend, at least it was his
desire to do so, and in winding up his SER
mon of yesterday evening he concluded by
saving that If anything that had been
said BY him during this series had given
offense to any one he hoped they would
understand that it was slip of the tongue
and not the intent of the heart. Taking
these adyental sermons of Father Gull all
through, they have been both instructive
and entertaining; and We are quite sure
that should he again treat upon live and
disputed subjects such as he has handled
during the past three or four weeks he will
be greeted with crowded houses. His ser
mon last night was, as usual, highly in
structive aud entertaining, and many were
those who regretted that he had finished
his course for the present.
Chas. Troll met with serious accident

THE MISSING VESSEL.
The Ship Crushed in the Ice, is Abandoned

posed to be Lost.
TWENTY-SIX OF THE CREW ALIVE.

The Jeanette, whose fate is chron-
icled in our dispatches, left San Fran
cisco in July, 1879, in search of the
mythical northwest passage. The ves-
sci was last seen by Capt. Burns, Of the
whaler, Sea Breeze, September I'd, 1879,
about fifty miles south of Herald Island.
Capt. DeLong, her commander, in let
ter written to his wife, August II, 1879,
said that he proposed to proceed north
by the way Of the eastern coast of Wran-
CELL Land, touching at Herald Island,
where he should build cairn and leave
records, thence landing on Wrangell
Land and leaving records on the eastern
coast under cairns at about twenty-five
miles apart. 1t was apparently with
this purpose in view that the Jeannette
was steering for Herald Island when
last seen. DeLong does not APP
pear TO have accomplished his
purpose to rear cairns at Wrangell Land,
for the recent investigation of that
region by Lieutenant Berry developed
no traces of De Longs presence, and it
had generally been believed that the YES
sci and crew were both lost, and that
their fate would be that of Sir John
Franklin and his men. The announce

satisfaction, even by those who do not
believe in the useless waste of money,
endurance and courage which have
been lavished upon this scnseless pro-
ject.
