WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S,-It is quite probable
that couple of new states may be admitted,
perhaps three. Washington, Dakota and New
Mexico will make very vigorous efforts for ad-
mission. Already there are favorable reports
upon Washington and Dakota. Their admis-
sion would give the Republicans increased
strength in the senate, where their majority is
so small as to be quite serious matter. Rep
resentative men from New Mexico are also
here urging the admission of that territory as
a state but as its politics is little uncertain
it will not probably, be successful in its

terday Mr.. Slater introduced bill to forfeit
the unearned lands of the Oregon Central
Railroad company; referred.

was agreed to, directing the secretary of war
to inform the senate whether any corporation

authorities have assented thereto, and for
what reason.
Mr.. Hawley, from the committee on civil
service reform, reported, with amendments, a
bill introduced by him Saturday to prevent the
officers and employees of the government from
collecting subscriptions or assessments from
each other, and gave notice that when the

ing on Mr. Browns motion made on Satur
day, to postpone the subject indefinitely. De-
bate ensued, and at half-past Q the senate

ingalls, from the committee ON judiciary.
Mr.. Pendleton moved to take up his civil
service bill Messra Voorhees, and Brown

service bill enacted by Democratic congress
and Democratic president with a fair division
Of Offices.

was carried-yeas "A, nays IL
At Mr.. Sewelps request, Mr.. pendleton

that the senate might take up the Fitz-J ohm
Porter bill
Mr.. Logan objected, and insisted that the
civil service bill should be first disposed Of
Mr.. Powell asked him to consent to take up
the Porter bill tomorrow
Mr.. Logan declined, so the Pendleton bill
remained before the senate, but it was tempo
rarily laid aside to take up the bill to relieve an
Arkansas railroad
The bill was one to release the Memphis &
Little Rock railroad from it's obligations IS q
Immigrant road to carry government troops

nitely postponed.

The Balance of Trade.

New YORK, Dec, 1.-THE report Of the
bureau'o statistics for October, showing the
imports and exports, indicates very import
ant change in the balance of trade. There is
an excess of exports over imports OF merchan-
disc and specie amounting to $6,S7S, 996, show
ing that the balance is again in favor of this
country While the balance was against us
for seven months of the year, it was. suddenly
turned in our favor in October, and it is now
probable that the trade figures for November
and the current month viii show a satisfactory
increase. The most important gain is that Of
specie. Our imports OF coin and bullion dur
ing October exceeded our exports by S., $780,
175, and the greater part of this increase was
gold which came from the West Indies, but
which would have been diverted to Europe had
it not been for the fact that our exchanges
were in such condition as to attract the gold
hither. This shows that our adverse trade
balances have been iquidated, and the ex-
changes are now in such a state that very
slight pressure of bills will bring gold from
Europe. At the moment gold importations as
an exchange operation for profit are not prob
able, but foreign bankers are prepared TO order
gold from London whenever such q move
ment can be advantageously made.
