Gordon, from the Oommittoe on Commerce, reported the House bill 'or the relief of Hbury S. Wells, whioh inthorizes the payment to him of $196, ? )00 for removing obstructions in the Sa vannnh River; passer]. The farther consideration of the financial question was postponed until Tuesday next. Cameron moved to take np the centen? nial hill. Thurman said ho should vote against the bill. He thought this idea of holding an exhibition was entirely destructive of a proper oelebration of American independence, and Congre6B could not do a worse thing than to put its band in tbe treasury and take out money for this parposo. Cameron re? sented tbe styling the bill an appropria? tion bill. Sumner read the bill, and said no oaudtd person could deny that it waa an entering wedge to calliug upon Oongress for a large appropriation, fie read a despatch, dated February 16, 1874, addressed by Mr. Oamcron to Mayor Stokely, of Philadelphia, ex? pressing his desire that Mr. Stokely should be re-elected, and assuring him of his gratification to know that in that event any appropriation voted by Congress would be properly expended. Tho Chair called Mr. Sumner to order for- discussing tbo merits of the bill. Cameron said he had'written tbe de? spatch, and ho approved every word of it. Ho intimated that if Mr. MoClure had been elected, he would not have been so well satisfied as to the manner in which the money would be spent. The Chair called Cameron to order for dis? cussing tbo merits of tbe bill. Sargent read from tbo first Ast passed by Con? gress on tho subject of tho centennial, prohibiting tbe appropriation of any money on that account. After further discussion, the motion to take ap was deoided in tbe negative. The army appropriation bill as re? ported from the Senate committee, makes a reduction of 5350,000 in tbe appropriation for tbo regular supplies and incidental expenses of the quarter? master's department, and of $218,000 in sundry other items. The clause limit? ing the allowance for traveling expenses to ten cents per mile is stricken out, and the section transferring to the Soathern Claims Commission all claims from loyal States now pending in tbe quarter-master and commissary depart? ments, is alao omitted from tho bill as reported. All balances of appropna? tion for tbe services of the quarter? master's and commissary-general's de? partments remaining nndrawn on July 1, 1872, are by this amendment covered into tbe treasury. While these offioers are to continue to examine) and aot upon the claims, the effect is to require spe? cial appropriations by Congress to pay claimants, instead of their being paid us now, through the third auditor. Se? nator West and the obairman of the committee opposed this notion as im? posing vexatious delays, but were over? ruled in the committee. There will be a fierce fight over it in both bouseB, but tho vexatious delays will doubtless be? come the law. Tbe naval appropriation bill passed with amendments, and gooa to the House for coucurment. In tbe House, the bill to revive the franking privilege, clumsily disguised as a plan for distribnting public- docu? ments, was at length, after a week's de? bate, brought to a vote to-day. Ffrst camo a motion to lay it on tho table, and that was defeated by a majority of 18. Thun came a substitute to restore tbe franking privilege, pure and simple, but only fifty members hud the during ho? nesty to vote for it; while 200 voted against it. Tiien came tbe final vote, r.?*_ it ~?Z zz*.ucmD' ?c ??w wuo uui?viuo ness of the morflbers about it, Many wished the bill to puss, but did not wish to appear on the yea and nay list as so voting; aud so the result was the rejec? tion of the bill, by one majority against it?-130 to 131. It will probably be re? vived to-morrow, by a motion to recon? sider. Some thirty Democrats voted for tho bill. The jS/nrsays tbo Select Committee on Transportation is rapidly perfecting its report, which will be submitted to Con? gress some time next month. Tbe com? mittee will take tbe position that Con? gress has tbe authority to regulute tbo rates of fare over railroads, but will ro commeud against tbo exercise of such authority, on the ground that it is not at present expedient. The Committee of Ways and Means will report a bill fixing the tariff on im-1 ported still wines at fifty cents per gal? lon in casks and two dollars per ease in bottles. Tbe Commerco Committeo of the Senate bnve referred the wonderful nomination of Simmons, for Boston Collector, to Mr. Boutwell, ns a sub? committee. Butler fed bis Boston friends, including Simmons, to-day. Tbe Committeo on Roads and Canals are decided in the opinion that, in the presentoondition of the treasury, it will be inexpedient for Congress to grunt any aid for internal improvements.
