THOUGH THE session of Congress has
last commenced, the President has de-
clared himself in favor of the "Monroe
doctrine;" numerou, resolutions and
netitions have been introduced in both
,ha Senate AMI House of Representa-
lives endorsing that doctrine, and
several speeches to the same effect
have already been made. And yet
nothing is palmer than the fact that
the other nations of this hemisphere
resent the protection of the United
States assumed by that doctrine. The
doctrine is humbug. The United
States have no more right to Interfere
in an affair between Venezuela or Mic
aragua and Eogland, than either OF the
former would have to NEEDLE in one
between this country and Great
Britain. No European country desires
to establish monarchical institutions on
any part of American soil on which
such institutions did not exist prior to
the enunciation of the doctrine referred
to, which, by the by, has the sanction
of no law.

FIFTY-FOuRTH CONGRESS.
WASHINGTON, Dec. S.
SENATE.

During the morning hour in the
Senate many bills were introduced and
referred to committees, among them
one by Mr.. Mills to provide for coinage
of the silver in the Treasury, and one
by Mr.. Chandler to provide, in connec-
ton with other nations, for the I'M
limited coinage of gold and silver at
the ratio of one 10 ISL.
Mr.. Dubois offered his resolution to
amend the rules so as to divide the
appropriation bills among the COM
mittees having charge of the general
subject; and it was laid on the table to
be colled up hereafter.
A protest from the legislature of
Montana against the issue of govern.
ment bonds was presented by Mr..
Mantle.
Mr.. Call offered resolution which
was agreed to calling on the Secretary
of State for all the correspondent Q
relating to the trial, conviction, and
sentence of Gen. Sansuilly, an Ameri-
can citizen, for alleged completely in the
war against Spain by Cuba and direct
ing the Secretary 10 obtain q copy of
the record of the trial.
Mr.. Gallinger offered a resolution
declaring it TO be "the sense of the
Senate that it is unwise and inexpe-
dent to retire the greenbacks;;" and it
was referred to the committee on f.
nance.
The resolution offered by Mr.. Call
for the recognition of the Cuban insur-
gents and authorizing the President 10
secure an observance of the laws of
war in Cuba, Yves taken up and Mr..
Call addressed the Senate. He de-
scribed the conduct of the Spanish
troops in Cuba as "merciless and in dis
regard of age. sex and condition. I"
THE Cubans," he ad led, shave been
acting on the principles which we have
declared, and on the advice which we
have given to them; and that we
should silently permit this war to
proceed without 9 single word of en-
couragement is not creditable TO this
government. Spain declared that the
Southern Confederacy was belliger-
ent power, and recognized her, and
the English government also recogniz-
ed the civil war in the South. Why
should we not, then, when the Cubans
have acted en- our example, under
our advice, under our instructions, jus.
tify their forcible resistance? Why
should we allow Spain to purchase
supplies in our ports and forbid the
same right 10 the Cubans?
At the close of Mr.. Calls speech the
resolution was referred to the COM
mittee on foreign relations.
The Senate then proceeded to the
consideration of executive business,
and at 1876 p. m. adjourned till Mon
day next.

1t is probable that Henderson of
Iowa will be chairman of the appro-

York of the ways and means committee.
Dingley of Maine will be the leader on

A bill was introduced in the Senate
to-day appropriating two and half
million dollars for city hall here to be
erected in Judiciary Square.
The plot thickens in regard to South
ern contested election cases. Col. Lamb
of Norfolk, the new chairman of the Vir-
GINA republican State committee and
the new rational committeeman, has had
late interview with the Speaker III
which the Virginia election cases were
discussed and the point settled that a
prompt hearing would be had. Ger.
Walker frankly avows his expectatit n
and willingness to serve on the elections
committee, which means on aggressive
and offensive warfare against the Wal
ton law and the congressional election
returns made Hereunder. But this is M t
all; Speaker Reed, spurred on by the
demands of Southern republican con-
testants and fattered by promises of a
large vote from that section is debating,
and will doubtless determine on the
plan for hurryipg the trial of these
cases, which if carried into execu-
ton will som put quietus to
them. He will use his great infu
ence, in the language of the courts, to
'speed these causes" by division of
the election committee into three
sections, each section to be assigned a
certain number of cases for examina-
ton and report to the general COM
mittee, and thus will have in practical
operation three committees in place of
one to do the important and tedious
work of getting the contests in readi-
ness for the final action of the House
He has thrown out "feelers" to demo-
cratic members respecting this plan. OF
course the democratic members will
protest against so unusual a proceed
ing, but in all probability without
avail. Lively times may be expected
in a number of these cases.
