nu mber of people from Texas was before. the
senate committee on commerce yesterday,
and made an argument in support of Senator
Ma keys bill to provide for the improvement
of tho channel between Galveston harbor
q nd the Gulf Of Mexico. The measure au-
thorizes James b. Eads, of Missouri, and his
associates, to construct such permanent and
sufficient jettios and such auxiliary works
as he may deem necessary to create and per-
manently maintain wide and deep channel.
Payments from time to time are provided for
the total amount to be S7,25o,000 when a
maximum depth of thirty feet shall have boon
secured. Capt Eads maintains that the gov.
ernment engineers arc not proceeding upon
the correct principles, and that their opera.
tons will only secure depth Of sixteen feet.

The house conferees on the Dingloy ship
ping bill were not appointed yesterday. Tho
chief items of difference between tho senate
and house upon tho bill are contained in the
free ship clause, which was inserted on mo.
ton of Mr.. Cox, OF New York, and in tho
senate amendment providing increased COM
pensation for the carrying Of mails in
American vessels. There is little prospect
that there will be a meeting of the conferees
for week or ten days, as Senator Frye, who
heads tho committee on tho part of tho
senate, left tho city last night for a short
absence, and Mr., Slocum, who will undoubt.
odly head tho house conferees, also expects to
be absent for some days.
