River and HarbOr Bill in the HOuse.
A REBUKE TO THE COMMITTEE AND
VIRGINIA APPROPRIATIONS.

A REBUkE TO THE MMITTEE-MARYL LAND AND
VIRGINIA APPROPRIATIONS.
The House is having q hard fight over the
river and harbor bill. Yesterday they had a
great hubbub over the appropriation for the
MonOngahela river. Mr.. Lafollette, Wisconsin
in speaking to an amendment gave the COM
mittee sharp rebuke which would apply to
their want of action on the Potomac flats
works. He said he thought it bad economic
policy to refuse an appropriation sufficient to
complete works already approaching compile
tiOn and at the same time t. provide for the
Inauguration OF new works. Such policy he
said, had for its object the securing OF votes for
the bill, and its effect was to demoralize the
people and dull and blunt the moral sense of
Congress-
Appropriations were passed for the improve
ment OF the following rivers in Maryland and
Virginia: ChOptank river, Nd, $1O, OOO Corsica
creek, Nd. $4,000; Susquehanna river, SD.
and Pa, $6, 600, to be expended above the Bal
umOre, Philadelphia and Wilmington railroad
bridge; the inland waterway from Chincoteauge
bay, Va, to Delaware bay, near Lewes, S25, 900;
Appomatox river, Va, $50, 900; Chickahominy
river, Var 1000; James river, Va, below
Richmond, S15OO0o; Mattaponi river, Va,
$1,000; New river, Va, 5000 together with
the %, 600 now on hand; Pamunky river Va,
$4,000; Rappahannock river, Va, $4,000:
Staunton river, Va, 5000, one half Of which
