Orty-Eighth C0nRress---Ffrst Session.
WASHINGTON, March 81.
SENArE.-Mr. Vest presented a memorial
of She legislative assembly of Utah, protest
ing against the passage of any measure mimi
cal to the rights of citizens of that territory
until after full investigators by cengression-
al committee. Mr.. Miller (OaD reported ia
vorably with an amendment from the Naval
committee the bill offering reward of $685.
600 for rescuing or ascertaining the fate of
the Greeley expedition. Mr.. Mitchell intro.
duoed bill for the special and uniform in
struction of State militia.
On motion of Mr.. Mitchell the committee
on the library was directed 10 inquire into
the expediency of printing the official letters
and papers of President Monroe.
At o'clock the Blair educational bill came
mp as unfinished business. Mr.. Hampton
spoke in favor of the bill and also expressed
regret to be in opposition to his colleague
Butler-on measure which he thought of
vital consequence to the best interests of
their common country.
Mr.. Pugh also supported the bin in pre-
pared speech.
Mr.. Vest commented at length on the sta
tistics which the Senator from New Hamp-
shire had cited in his argument. St. Louis
had been credited by Mr.. Blair with a school
population of one hundred and six thousand.
Of these fifty thousand were enrolled. Thir-
ty-six thousand Is the average attendance
and fifty Thousand were growing up as
bowling savages. s'It," said he, THAT
showing is correct sign> posts should be
put up at st. Louis warning the stranger
against entering into the city, but the only
illustration of the adags that misery loves
company is found in the city of Chicago.
The principal city of Illinois is given over to
a condition worse than that of any of the.
ancient cities where corruption and vice ran
extreme. According to the figures of the
Senator from New Hampshire ST per cent.
Of the children of Chicago never attend
school. can now understand the remark
of one Of the district commissioners who
afraid to go to depot after 9
o'clock at night without carrying a
pistol. daughter But when We come
to Cincinnati the overwhelming darkness
hat covers st. Louis and Chicago becomes
ike the MONDAY sun. The Senator declares
hat more than forty thousand children in
Cincinnati are growing up in ignorance as
tense as that In the jungles of Africa" Mr..
Vest went on to show that the Senator had
made erroneous calculations in enumerating
he children in these cities who were of
'chool age. Mr.. Vest thought that the COM
non school system of Boston, which claimed
% be the center of literary culture, was not
hyperion or even equal to that Of st. Louis.
he then addressed himself to the constisu.
ional objections to the bill, which he con-
ended were strong enough in themselves to
warrant its rejection by the Senate.
Mr.. Blair in reply admitted that he had
made transformations in the heat of de.
pate, but commended that the figures of the
census bore out his line of argument.
Mr.. Harrison submitted an amendment
Uniting the appropriation to So, o0O, eco for
i've years, TO be used only in States having
IN iIliteracy of 10 per cent. and upward.
Mr. Blair intimated that the friends of the
Measure would press it to a voteto~morrow
" Monday at the latest.

i've session and shortly after adjourned.
