Washington, January 11.?Repre ssntative Hurlbut, of Illinois, a mem? ber of the Committee on Railroads and Canals, will probably to-morrow intro duoe a bill, the features of which he foreshadowed at the meeting of the friends of cheap transportation last night, for the construction of a doable track freight railway from New York to Council Bluffs, with, branches to Chica? go and St. Louis, the railway to be con? structed and operated by a corporation nnder the auspices of the General Go? vernment, and controlled by a board of Government commissioners. Tho rates for transportation on oereals to bo fixed at five mills per ' ton per milo for any distanoe over 750 miles?the entire length of the road being 1,500 miles. The rates are never to be i ucreased. For shorter distances than 750 miles, the jrates are to be a little more than five glla per ton a mile. Tho road is to be! sratcd exclusively as'a freight road! or coreals, stock and other productions. ?he trains will move at the quickest but | most economical rate of speed, which will be at loast ten miles an hour. The cost of the aoad is.estimated at $175, 000,000, including the necessary rolling stock. The Government aid suggested i is a guarantee of five per cent, interest on $80,000,000 of bonds. The capacity I of the road will be 60,000 tons a da}' eaoh way. The commissioners are to | fix the various rates of transportation and mako suitable provision for the care and safety of the freight carried both ways. When the road shall earn beyond what is necessary for the pay? ment of the interest on the capital stook and eight per cent, dividend, the rates of freight originally established are to j be reduced.

Washington, January 12.?In tho So? nate, Conkling introduced a substitute for the salary bill, which passed the House. It repeals the Act of March last so far as it increases all the salaries, except those of tho President of the United States and Justices of tho Su? preme Court, aud fixes all salaries, with the exception of the above named, tbe same as they wore prior to March last. All back pay not drawn or roturnod is declared to be covered into tho trea? sury and tho property of tho Uuited States. The bill now goes back to the House for the conenrrencoof that body. In the House, bills were introduced establisningpolytechnicsohools in ovcry County of tho States and Territories, to regulate the seizuro of books and papers in revenue cases, tho further insuring of the safety of lives on railroads, repealing internal taxes on tobacco, making trea? sury notes a legal tender for customs, and transferring to the Court of Claims all property takon after April, 1865. The motion made by Kelloy, of Penn? sylvania, before tbe holidays, to suspend the rules and adopt a resolution declar? ing it to bo the sense of tho House that the taxes should not bo increased, but that the extraordinary means, if any be required, for tho support of the Govern? ment, shall be obtained by a temporary loan or loans, bearing a low rate of inte? rest in ourrenoy, and redeemable in United States notes, came np for action. Wood, of New York, suggested a divi? sion of the resolution, and to have the House pass, affirmatively on the first tfart, and Ho^^PI^^^^^? second patt.' Kelley objected, and called for a ?r?te by yeas,and nays. Potter,1 of New York, Buggostod that the political conundrum be referred to the Commit? tee on Ways and Meant. Beck, of Ken? tucky, wanted .to stop this hnmbng, if he oonld, and moved an adjournment. The Honse refused to adjourn. Boo field, of Pennsylvania, suggested to bis colleague to modify the resolution, by requiring that the deficiency shall be made up by retrenohmont and economy. Kelley wanted a Vote on the resolution as submitted by himself, and not on the resolutions of other members. The vote was taken, and the House refused to suspend the rules. Holmaa, of In? diana, moved to suspend the rales and adopt a resolution doolaring that, in tbe judgment of the Houso, there is no ne? cessity to incroaso taxation, or to in? crease tbo publlo debt, by a further ?wan, if there shall be economy in tho public expenditures, aud that, in view of the condition of tho national finance?, the House will reduce the appropriations and public expenditures to tho lowest point consistent with the proper admi? nistration of pnblio affairs. Tho rules were suspended, and tho resolution was adopted. Haw ley, of Connecticut, moved to suspend the rules and adopt a resolution declaring it to bo the sense of tho House, that tbe expenditures of the nation can be and should be so reduced and regulated that thoy can bo met by tbo existing taxes, and that iu no event should there bo au increase of oither in? terest-bearing or non-interest bearing obligations of tbo Government. The motion was agreed to without the yeas and nays, and amid some laughter uud applause. In tbe Supremo Court, iu Miller rs. Moses ct a/., from the Supromo Court of Appeals of Virginia, the Supreme Court of tbe United Slates held that a writ of orror from this court to review the judgment of n State court must be issued to the highest court of the State, in which a decision of tbe case oould be I had, even if that court be an inferior court of tbe State. Accordingly, where I a Circuit Coort of Virginia had jurisdic? tion to decide a oase finally, the Court of Appeals of that State not having juris? diction to review tbo decision, by reason I of the amount in controversy being under $500, a writ of error from this Court of Appeals was dismissed. If al? lowable at all, the writ should have been issued to the Circuit Conrt. I President Grant sent the following: 11 To Governor Davis, Austin, Texas: "Your despatches and letters reciting the action of tho Supreme Court of Texas in declaring the late election un? constitutional, and asking tho use of troops to prevent apprehended violence, ! are received. Tbe call is not made in accordance with tbo Constitution of the United Status and the Acts of Congress under it, and cannot, * therefore, be granted. Tbe Act of the Legislature of I Texas, providing for tho recent election, having received yonr approval, and both political parties having mado nomina? tions, and having conducted a political campaign under its provisions, would it not be prudent, as well as right, to yield j to the verdict of the people as expressed j by their ballots?" Lamar has recovered. Tbe exportation of works of art from Rome without permission of the Go? vernment is still in force. Probabilities?For tbe Gulf and South Atlantic States, North-easterly to South? erly wfndfl, increasing olondinoss, and probably light rain on the coasts. The temperature will probably fall slightly on tbe South Atlantic coast, and will rise slightly in tho Mississippi Valley. Telegraphic? Commercial Ktuum.

Armey, the well known sheep king of New Mexico, committed suicide last Tuesday night, at Santa Fe, by shoot? ing himself through the body, the ball passing near the heart. He died on Wednesday morning, at 11 o'clock. I Disappointed love is said to have been the cause It is said that 20,000 people get drunk every Saturday night in London. If the Christian mast get drunk, Satur? day night is the best time for the busi? ness. It makes him feel so comfortably penitent aud pious when he takes a gin cocktail and starts to church tho next morning. A colored woinau, named Auu Ho\', under uncontrollable religious excite? ment, dropped daad while shouting dur? ing a meeting at the colored Methodist Church, on Shelby street, in Bowling Green, Ky., on Sunday morning lust, aud was carried a corpse to her home. The Mexican volunteer* are to meet in Washington, on the 15th. Tho mas? sive silver vase which was presented to Mujor-Oencral Andrew Jackson, by tho ladies of South Carolina, will bo carried to Washington to grace tho occasion. Ex-Sheriff Bronnan, of New York, has beou imprisoned iu Ludlow Street Jail?having been convicted of allowing Geuot to escape. Tho scamps in Gotham are beginning to get their just deserts. Tho scholars of a Dover school, Scot? land County, Mo., took a voto to da tormine whether they should treat their teacher or duck him. Tho vote stood thirty-one for treating to six for duck? ing. A white man, while on his way to Charleston, by the State road, on Sa? turday, was set upou by a party of co? lored highwaymen and robbed oi whul valuables ho had on his person. Tho Cardiff Giant wont into bank? ruptcy tho other day, and was sold out by tho marshal for tho despicable sum of eight dollars. The solid men of Iho laud uro giving way. Tho cap which cheeis but n:d incbii ates has taken a new form. It is a liquor producod from toa leaves. Even ladies drink it and smack their cherry hps. To determine whether a man is drunk or not, get him to say, "Tho scenory is truly raral." If ho says "trural rury," you may put him down as drunk. A friend writes to an editor for four dollars, "because be is so d?d short;" aud gets in reply tho heartless response, "Do as I do, stand up on a ohair." Woes come not singly. With tho Legislature, Atlanta is also affected with tho small-pox. However, it is not epi? demic. John B. Markney was arrested in New York, yesterday, for selling Havana lottery tickets. "Crvin RianTs" and thb Schools.? Tbe Richmond State Journal, tbe prinoi pat Republican newspaper in Virginia, calls npon the colored people of that j State at once to ask Congress to desist from noy legislation whioh enforces < mixed schools. Toe Journal makes this j the subject of its leading editorial arti-1 ole, in whioh it speaks of the- Civil, Rights Bill uow before Congress as "an i ill-judged measure." While net earing < to discuss any abatraot prinoiple in* volved iu it, the Journal oouoerna itself with the practical results whioh it re? gards as absolutely cor tain to follow its. adoption, and declares: "We know as [ well as auy future consequeno* of pre? sent action oan be known, that tbia at tompt to combine tbe two races in the sohools will result in breaking up the schools altogether." That such will be tbo result of the passage of a civil rights bill that will enforce mixed sohools not only in Virginia but elsewhoro iu locali? ties whero there uru large nmnbeis of whites and blacks iu the samo commu? nity, is among the most certain of its consequences. It is stated by a Wash? ington correspondent of the Richmond Enquirer that Hon. J. Ambler Smith, Republican Representative in Congress from the Richmond District, has writ? ten a letter to his constituents, giving his reasons for voting ngunst the bill.i Yet there is a protect against the view' announced by tho great majority of the; Virginia Legislature sent up to Congress' from the Republicans of that Legisla? ture, mostly colored; but it is said: many of tho Republican members of Congress recognize it as a stubborn fact; that a bill requiring the mixing of the races in tho public schools will render certain tho destruction of tho public school system in tho Southern and bor? der States. In a brief and pointed let? ter addressed by Dr. RuETaer, Superin? tendent of Public Education, to the Hon. Mr. Harris, of Virginia, upon the pending Civil Rights Bill, that gentle? man said: "There is no power on earth, moral or physical, whioh oan mix the ohildron of the white and colored raoes iu the samo sohools." Every man of common souse knows this to be a fact by instinct. Sickles has reapt a very dubious honor as a diplomat, and is now on.hiB return to the "Bowery boys." Jost how he will contrive to keep himself conspicu? ous hereafter is a problem. He may lecture, or he may edit a country news? paper, but his "best holt" is to turn fillibustero. The dons would be glad to Bee bim in that role. Ho might Bnd in Cuba the lock to tho Key ho once found in Washington, however. But Sickles is hardly likely to go another leg on Cuba. Ho will gravitate into tbe ob? scurity from whioh tbo war temporarily recucd him. O si Sickles omnia.' A correspondent asks: "Why Is it that Congress grants such large pensions to the young soldiers of tho lato war and such small pensions to the old soldiers of tho war of 1812?" Woll, to tell you the truth, those old soldiers are con? founded bard to get to tbo polls, and wheu you get them there, they are so few in number tbey don't amount to much. ?Louisville Courier-Journal. A young womau in New York has brought suit against a convict at Sing Sing for broach of promise of marriage. If we wero iu that convict's place wc would havo a most terrible and un? natural reveugo. Wo would break out of that prison, and go and marry thai young woman, and buy. hor a last year's bonnet and mako her wear it for the rest of her life.
