YY’aehingtun, December 21.—No] special excitement was manifested to-day, either by Senators or by the general public, in the mat ter of the joint resolution acknowl- edgeiug the the independence of the Republic of Cuba. The gal leries were not occupied to the ex tent of two-thirds of their capacity The proceedings were of a formal and uninteresting character. They consisted merely of reporting the joint resolution by Senator Came ron from the committee on foreign relations and of the offering of various substitutes for it on the part of Senators. Senator Vest presented a tion declaring that the exclusive power to determine when the in dependence of a foreign people struggling to establish a govern ment for themselves should be re cognized is vested by the Consti tution not in the President of the United States, but in Congress, and he gave notice that he would address the Senate to-morrow in support of that declaration. Senator Hill offered a substitute for the committee joint resolution declaring that a state of war exists in Cuba, according -belligerent rights to the Cubans, and announc ing that the .United States will preserve a state of neutrality be tween the belligerents. Senator Bacon, Democrat, of Georgia, offered a resolution that the question of recognition of any people as a free and independent nation is a question exclusively for the determination of Congress, and does not appertain to the executive department. And still another resolution was offered by Senator Chilton, Democrat, of Texas, de claring that a condition of public war exists between the Govern ment of Spain and the Govern ment which has for some time been maintained by force of arms by the people of Cuba, and that the United States will main tain a strict neutrality between the contending parties, according to each all the rights of belligerents in the ports and territory of the United States. These various resolutions and substitutes were either laid on the table with the foreign relations committee report or were referred to the committee on the judiciary. The whole sub ject, however, will be open to dis cussion to-morrow when Senator Vest calls up his resolution. On behalf of himself and Senator Mills, Senator Morgan submitted an additional report on the Cuban question, which Senator Morgan did not conclude until after he en tered the chamber at noon. It en dorses the action of the committee, but takes more advanced ground. Senator Morgan submits as appen dices to this report the report to the Senate made by Slidell in 1859, the speech of Senator Judah a. c | P. Benjamin on that report, the case of Cuba as presented to the State department by Palma and that part of the President’s message relating to affairs in Cuba. Senator Call’s resolution refer ring to the alleged imprisonment ef American citizens in Spanish nal settlements was passed. It irects the Secretary of State to nd to the Senate a report of all aturalized citizens of the United tatea of whose arrest and impris- nment, trial or conviction or Bou nce, either to imprisonment at he penal colony of Ceuta or else- here, he has any information, nd that he shall inform the Sen- |te in such report of the persons low held in confinement at Ceuta, and of the chaiges, briefly stated, which they were condemned, d the nature of the evidence, so ftlr as the same appears on the MMlof the State department. Tne Senate, after a short execu- tfvejWeion, at 3 p. m. adjourned Atuericftn Bible SoclHy. Dr. T. H. Law, of Spartanburg, president of the South Carolina branch of the American Bible So ciety, lectured in the Methodist church Sunday night on the work of the society in the United States and foreign countries.

WaJ Work of the Hoiuo. hington, December 21.—The Hous^ spent most of another day’s sessioin this afternoon in’eonsider- ationl of the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill, and “still came to no resolution thereon.”. Nearly all of the time was given to discussing the future control of the library, whether by the joint committee on the library as proposed by that committee in Mr. Quigg’s substitute, or by the librarian, as proposed by the com mittee on appropriations. The principal speeches in favor of the appropriation committee’s plans were made by Messrs. Biagbam, Republican, of Pennsylvania, and Oannou, Republican, of Illinois, of the committee, and by Mr. Cunynings, Democrat, of New York, in favor of the Qaigg substi tute.! The latter was rejected—27 to 8^ On motion by Mr. Sha*- roth v Silverite, of Colorado, the salary of the librarian was reduced from $6,000 to $5,000. On the subject for the appro priation for the civil service com mission Mr. Evans, Republican, of Kentucky, made a short speech agaiait the civil service law. Oo motion of Mr. Ogden, Demo- cratJtf Louisiana, bills were passed •utilizing the Kansas City, 8hre||port and Gulf Railway ComPmy to construct bridges across Caddo Lake and Black River,.Louisiana.

We are informed, through an official re port, that the largest number of accidents occurred at highway crossings. From this cause 505 persons lost their lives, and at rail wjiyatati 376"p<Trw»hs W ere killed. Through out the United States only forty persons were killed in collisions during the year and only 97 were injured ; only 47 were killed by derailment, and on ly 84 were injured, which shows that the larger part of the fatali ties caused by railways is due to the carelessness of the public, and not to the railway managers.
