Washington, April 19.?The Seuate select committee on transportation, at tbeir meeting, last week, agreed to the report prepared by the chairman, Sena? tor Windham, of Minnesota. The re? port is elaborate, embracing a large mass of statistical matter not before col? lated, and contains a discussion of the alleged defects and abuses of the exist? ing systems of transportation, and also the proposed remedies in detail. The remedies discussed are included uuder fonr general sub-divisions, namely: First, unregulated competition betweeu railroads; second, direct Congressional regulation of rates and fares; third, the ownership and oontrol of one or more freight railways by the General Govern? ment; and fourth, tbe improvement aud creation of water routes. E ich of these subjects is fully discussed, and the con? clusion generally is in favor of improved water routes. Several specific recom? mendations are made, but these are withheld by the committee until the re? port shall be made?on Wednesday or Thursday next. The committee are not unanimous on the measures of legisla? tion they propose with reference to rail? roads, but are on their recommendation as to water courses. The constitutional questions are folly discussed. Seuator Windham will, after making tbe report, fully epitomize and explain its contents. The President will not tell what he is going to do about the currency bill. The signal service has been doiug a good work recently in oonnection with the present overflow of the lower Mis? sissippi, by announcing several days in advance the approach of each of the three great floods that have successfully moved from Cairo to New Orleans since the 1st inst, sweeping away, in their resistless coarse, vital portions of tbe protecting levees. Special warnings were telegraphed to the threatened points, and ample time given for snob aGtion by tbe inhabitants as tbeir judg? ment and knowledge of tbe danger seemed to justify. The system of re? ports established by the chief signal officer two years ago, by which each important oity on the principal Western rivers is notified daily of tbe stage of water at the other river towns with whioh it has business connections, has grown steadily in favor and popularity, by famishing to all interested parties regular and reliable data for tbeir guid? ance in making shipments. Sufficient experience appears to have been already obtained by the signal office to justify k it in issuing river probabilities and warnings, and which will donbtless prove as beneficial to the river interests as the weather probabilities and cau? tionary signals have been to our ocean and land commerce during the past three years.
