J0URNMENT PREDICTED-BRIEFs.
from Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, July 2G.-The impression
prevailed generally this morning that the
Senate would lay aside the internal-revenut
bill and take up the naval appropriation
bill. As soon as the hour was reached fol
the consideration Of the former, Mr.. Nor
rill made a speech, blaming the Democrats
for having delayed its passage by theiI
amendments. Mr.. Beck replied with spirit,
and declared that Democratic senator's had
no idea of allowing the miserable little bill
arranged in the Republican caucus to pass
without making efforts to put 1t in shape
that would give substantial relief to the
people. Mr.. Voorhees, spoke of the bill as
being in the throes Of death, and other
senators followed in speeches which indi-
Gated that he was right. At lao O'Clock a
vote was reached, and the naval-appropria-
ton bill was taken up-ayes, "a; noes, &c.
Mcssrs. ingalls,, Hale, Hoar, Kellogg, and
Jones, Of Nevada, voted with the Democrats
in the affirmative, and Senator Malone with
the Republicans in the negative. 1t was at
once predicted on all sides that this action
OF the Senate was a dcath-blOw to the in
tcrnal-rcvenue bill. Mr.. Blair, before the
vote was taken, announced that knit goods
are pouring into the United States from
abroad, and that something must be done
before adjournment in behalf Of American
manufacturers.
THE RIVER AND HARB0R BILL AGREED TO.
The House to-day followed the example
Of the Senate and agreed to the conference
report on the river and harbor bill, and il
now goes to the President. As it origin
ally passed the House il contained appro-
priaticns amounting to S17, 367,S1j, and the
Senate increased the amount to $40,
575. The conference committee, however,
reduced this TO SIS, 1855. one third Of
this appropriation goes to the Mississippi
and Missouri, and it is estimated by the
chairman of the House Commerce Commit
tee, Mr.. Page, OF California, that the Mis-
sissippi and its navigable tributaries viii
receive S9,000,000 under the bill. The
James gets $4,000, and the rivers and har-
bors Of the entire State Of Virginia about
$500, zoo. Hon. George II. Wise voted for
