When our House report closed yesterday the
conference report on the River and Harbor APP
preparation bill was under consideration. Mr..
Page explained the report to the House.
Mr.. Cox, OF New York, while opposing the

items for the survey OF the Hennepin and
Chesapeake and Delaware.canals, maintaining
that Congress was granted no power to author

Arthur, following tho example OF General

During our experience IN New orleans, In

OF n number OF cases whero gentlemen have
been arrested by mistake or under false
charges, put In prison at police stations where
they had no opportunity OF obtaining bail and
release, owing to the late hour OF tho night,
and their consequent inability TO communicate
with their friends. To meet such cases an
amendment was made by tho last New York
Legislature to tho Criminal Procedure of that
State, providing that In tho city OF Now York
and In Brooklyn a police Justice, to be dosig-
mated by tho Mayor, must be In attendance at
police headquarters from o'clock evening
until 10 o'clock morning to take bail In proper

The Prospect in the Senate.

DIRTY OTupHIC'
The terms OF twenty-five United States Sena-
tors will expire on the 9TH of March next, and
OF these only four are at all likely to be sue
ceeded by men OF q different party complex
ion. One OF these four is David Davis, OF
Illinois, who is almost sure to be shelved for
Republican. or the other three, MCPHERSON, of
New Jersey, has as good chances Of n re-eloc-
tion as any Republican has OF succeeding him;
while Grover, OF oregon, a Democrat, may
have to give way TO Republican, as may also
do not compose their differences on the debt
question. The Senate is, therefore, likely to
be almost as closely divided during the next
two years as II has been during tho past two,
the Republicans probably being In a bare ma
iority-only not strong enough to do either
pood or had.
