Tlie* Sonnti*. as in ('oininiltoi' of Hie Whole, having uinlor i-onsiilrratioii the hill (II. I!. No. 0227) making up- propriations for tin* ronstriH'.tioii, rr- pair, completion ami preservation of certain works on rivers anil harbors, ami for other purposes— Sir. BROWN said : Sir. Piifsidknt: Yesterday l gave notice of an amendment to the hill now under consideration, on page 5, line 03, referring to the appropria tion for the harbor of Savannah, (in. Tlie appropriation reported is $65,- 000. Mv motion was to strike out $05,000" and insert “$100,000.” I re spectfully ask the attention of (lie Senate while I submit a few remarks on this subject. The port of Savannah is tlie second cotton port in the Union. It lias a large and growing commerce. Dur ing l lie business season more than one foreign steamer per day clears from the port. It does a large por tion of tbe business of Florida and Alabama, to say nothing of that ol (•eorgia, on account of the railroad connections to that port from those States, and it also does a great deal of business with tlie West. The railroad connections that have been recently made and tlie exten sions of*liiKs that have been complet ed within a short time pait are such that tlie line leading to Savannah is looked to in the future as one of the real competing lines for t lie busi ness between the West and eastern cities. As is very well known to tlie Senate, there arc now four great trunk lines of railway between tbe West and tlie East, tlie Ualtimorc and Ohio, the Pennsylvania, the New York Central, and the Erie. They extend into the West and have done a large proportion of that business, indeed almost all of it. It is well known to Senators from tlie West that those lilies with all their capaci ty for transportation cannot carry the productions that are offered for Transportation. During flic past winter there lias been frequently an outcry there about delays of freight on account of want of transportation. There is a railroad line now pretty well consolidated under llic control of the Louisville and Nashville Rail road Company from the city of Si. Louis, Missouri, to tlie i ily of Chat tanooga, Tennessee. That corpora tion controls that line. In connection witli that is the Western anil Atlantic Railroad of Georgia. That road is an open highway under its charter to continue its use for all the roads that approach it, having a web of five roads at the Chattanooga eml and four at the Atlanta end. That, then, extends the line from Chatta nooga to Atlanta. Then we have tlie Central Railroad to Savannah. Then there is a line of steamers controlled mainly hv tlie Central Railroad that plies between liic port of Savannah and New York. They have already five steamers on the line. They are building another splendid steamer for it. Thev intend to continue to increase the number until they have a daily steamer be tween Savannah and New York. As I am informed, a careful esti mate shows tlie line from St. Louis to New York by way of Savannah, on principles recognized by railroad ami steamship men in prorating, is seventy miles shorter than llu; line by way of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Why, then, may it not become a com petitor, and why may it not assume tlie position of another great line for tlie transportation of productions be tween the East anil tin; West, to say nothing of the South ? Tlie port of Savannah, then, is a National port. Tlie West is as much interested as tlie Soitlh is in tin; port. The roads I have mentioned extend from tlie State of Missouri through the States of Illinois. Indiana, Ken tucky, Tennessee, a portion of Ala bama, and through Georgia to I lie coast. There are seven Stales that arc directly interested in a line that proposes to open a way for the pro ductions of the great West to tlie markets of tlie world through tlie South, by the port of Savannah. Rut Hint is not the only line. The great city of Cincinnati lias lately gone into tlie business of building a railroad, having sat hack as long as site could afford it behind Louisville on account of tlie railroad systciTi, and she lins expended nearly $18,IKK),- 000 in the construction of a grand- trunk line from that city to Chatta nooga, by which she cuts her way through the mountains mid connects with tlie Western and Atlantic road and reaches tlie ocean at Savannah. Certainly tlie people of that great city and tlie people of that metropo lis of Ohio thought there was need of tliis outlet or they would not have put nearly $20,000,000into it; indeed, I am informed by the time it is com pleted they will have to put enough more in to make their investment over $20,000,000. There is a line from Chicago, by way of Cincinnati, through to Chat tanooga, Atlanta, ami Savannah, that is, I believe, the shortest line across from one point to the other. Then there is another great line westward. There is the Illinois Central Railroad, running from Chicago to Cairo; then the Chicago, St. Louis and New Or leans road from there don >i to New Orleans. Thai ero-ses the. Memphis and Charleston rond at I .'l aud .lunc- tion. and if you conic down with Il linois freights to Grand Junction and turn tlienee to Chattanooga, and then over this route again In .Savannah, you have iilunit as short a line as any of llic others. The three are m ar enough of one leuglii to constitute competitors lor business. You gentlemen of the West desire to liave all the outlets for tlie great productive region you occupy I lint yon can possibly get. I have not. imw the reports before me. for I liave oc cupied a seat on this floor hilt a short time and I am not so well posted mi these points as some of jou Senators who liave been hero longer; hut my recollection is that the la-1 ll sea I year shows a balance of trade in favor or this country of about. $2511.01): 1.000— Formerly the exchanges ol' the coun try were conducted mainly on the cotton and tobacco of the Smith and flit) exports of New England. There is a new elemenl, liowovcr, introduced. In formal* days you burned your corn in the West for fuel because you had no market for it; blit long lines of railroad have extended into your midst, and the steel rail connecting all tlie great cities of tlie West, to say nothing of tlie South, lias caused llu; condition of tilings to cease, and you reap the henelit of the achievement of Ibis great result, nml the productions of the West, the grain ami meat crops, play an important part in making this grand total in our favor in llu* balance of trade. You then should certainly encourage every outlet you can for y Tin* productions. You have a vast territory .there, one that will support comfortably, properly culti vated and properly improved, two hundred millions of people. You cannot rely on the outlets Hint you now liave to the eastern cities. There are reasons, too, why you should have a southern outlet. The eastern railroads are often blocked with snow; Hie eastern rivers are often blocked with ice. Wo have none of that trouble over Hie line I mention. While it is true that these railroads are not all in as good condition prob ably ns tlie four great eastern trunk lines I liave mentioned, the necessary stops arc being taken to put them in condition very soon, and I tell you they will come into the market ns a competitor with tlie four great trunk lines for a large proportion of the products of tin; West, and llic exports of grain and meat will come to Sa vannah to go to New York and other eastern cities and foreign ports. Then why should we not improve the harbor of Savannah? If there be any difl'erenec the West is more interested Hutu we, the estimate made by the engineer and appended to the Secretajy of War’s report for tlie coming year is $120,320. Tlie actual appropriation Hint the committee have recommended and that passed the House is $f>5,000, a long way lie- low the estimate. Now, a word as to tlie harbor itself. Savannah, as von arc aware, is sit uated some I wciitv miles above llu; bar. The harbor is a splendid one. as good ns any one on tin; Atlantic const. The obstructions are not in the bar; they arc in tlie channel of the river after you get beyond Hie bar. Tin: waters of the Savannah River arc divided by an island and flow down to the city, one half going around Hie island next Hie city and the other half in Rack River. Rack River is tlie deeper of the two, and there lias always been difficulty oil Hint account in having the linrlmi* of Sax'annnh properly improved. Tlie engineers, however, within Hie Inst few years have discovered the reme dy for Ilia), ami they are doing, as I understand, tlie proper work al Hie upper end of the island to liiru Hie current down tlie channel next Hie cily. Tlie result is already Hint where fifteen or sixteen feet of water for merly existed we now have nineteen fuel,ami I am informed by tlie engi neer that if the appropriation is suffi cient to keep lip Hie work, within Hu; next year or two it. can he brought to twenty-one feel and ultimately to twenty-three or twenty-four feet of water in tlie channel. As Hie riv er goes down, in one or two places, it spreads below the city. Rv jetties and sinking logs and brush in Hu; side channel, they turn tlie water back into Hie regular channel and deepen Ihe channel. Then (lie pro pellers going up and down the chan nel are always stirring tlie mud up and it passes off the more readily be cause Hie entrance to the harbor is such Hint there is nothing there to obstruct it. When Hie dregs arc stirred oven by the wheels of a pro peller they pass out. As I am in formed by Hie gentlemen who run these steamships tlie channel is every year deepening in that way. Now, give iis ail appropriation of $100,(KB). We nre not asking for tlie full amount of $129,320, but we ask tlie senate to give us $100,(XX). I liave a letter from the engineer say ing that to give less will he a great mistake; they should liave that amount; and I ask the Senate to make tlie appropriation. It is not a local affair; it is a national nllair, and I heg my friends from Now I nglaml to aid us in getting that amrunt at least. You may have acted more wisely than wc did in the past. I belong to that old school ol demo crats who were taught to go against all appropriations tor internal iin provements by the General Govern ment. Yon went “for the old fln„ and an appropriation” before the war; wc went for the old Hag and Hie honors, and when the test came wc found tin; appropriations a great deal heavier than tlie honors. I liave concluded now to abandon that pol icy, to learn a lessen from von, and while you have taken your part of Hie appropriations ask you to givens ours. I know you take a national pride in Savannah as well ns other cities of I tin Union. Now the Union living restored perpetually, I think you will give us at leusl that small Ninuiint. I have h 'en looking through this bill. The Stale of Georgia gels by Ihe hill as it now stands $220.500.— We appropriate In all, with Hu: amendments made to-day, 1 presume, almost $II,(XMMXX). My Slate has a territory of llfty-ciglit thousand square miles; ns fine probably as there is iu Hie Union: one of the great cotton stales of the Union, and not only licit, hut becoming fust one of tlie eotton manufacturing states of the Union. We nre adding each year now about two good factories to the number we already have. We in tend to add more. In former days liie race was who should own most slaves, mid when a uiuii made a thousand dollars he put it in another negro. We have no negroes to buy now, ami Hiougli I stood lo Hie iiiMl it ill ion to llu* Iasi, ami would have sacrificed my life, if I knew myself, for it, 1 proclaim it to-da v from the American Senate Ilia* if hy turning over uiyTmiul 1 could reinstall* il I would not do il. As we have mi negroes to liny no longer,, we are going to put our nioiiey into factories ami other improvements, and we iuieml to become rivals witli you after awhile in that business. Not only is Georgia a great cotton stale anil hemming a cotton manu facturing state, lint it is great ill oili er resources. Wheal, corn,nml grass row well there. In Hie fertile lands of Upper Georgia, between Atlanta and Tennessee, we make as line clov- r as you ever raised ill Kcnlurky or Illinois. We can raise all the asses there. We have there a mag nificent country ami a line climate. l icit is not all. We have more iron ore in tin: bosom of our Stale than rests to-day in the bosom- of Penust lvania and plenty ot coal Tor all its uses. This great Slate, poo** now it is true, lint grand in her resources, comes here and asks you for $100,000 to deepen tlie channel and make nav igable (lie stream, for the twenty miles above the bar. to her principal ilv, so Hint not only her own produc tions can be poured out through it, hut so Hint the products of Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama anil tlie great West can go out there. I think wc have a rigid to il. I am aware of Hie dilfiuilty of (lie task I liave undertaken. Tlie river nml harbor hill lcid been passed up on hy the Commilleo on Commerce before 1 came into the Senate. Tlie ■ommitlec lias reported only $65,000, the amount as it passed Hie House of Representatives, for Hie improvement ol the harbor of Savannah. Ami I am informed hy Hie honorable chair man | M r Ransom ] licit the commit tee feel bound lo do all they ran to carry Hie hill as it came from the oiiiluitlce. The reason given is Hint if they permit one amendment in creasing Hie appropriutions recom mended by them there will lie no end to site amendments nfi'ered, which they fear will load down Hie bill anil defeat its passage. I admit there is some plausibility in this objection; hut 1 think tlie reasons which exist for the exception in favor of an in- reasc at Savannah are so strong that it ought to lie made an exception. Mr. BLAINE. I liave not been in the Senate much to-day; hut unless there is a determined resistance to adding anything at all to Hie hill ami a purpose to keep it just ns Hie House lias prescribed it with Hie little addi tional amendments which the Com mittee on Commerce have permitted, it seems to me that Hie Senator from Georgia has made a very strong case and lias a-ked a very Little addition and I confess for one Hint 1 am ex tremely disposed to support it. I do t want to run counter to anything Hint may be a kind of an arrangement iu the Senate ill regard to tlie hill; but. it seems to me I shall vote for tlie amendment. After these remarks and some fur ther discussion, tlie Senate adjourned till eleven o’clock to-morrow morn- g. Junc2, 1SS0. The Senate met pursuant to ad journment; the amendment of Mr. Brown being tlie unfinished busi ness— Mr. BROWN said: Mr. 1’kksidknt : I wish to submit only one or two remarks before Hie vote is taken on my amendment. I admit there is much force in Hie sug gestion that (lie appropriations in the hill are large, that the amounts arc larger than liave been appropriated for years. Tlie country is growing, however, every year in population, importance, wealth,energy,mid com merce; Hie in 11 itx of population from abroad is very large, and as popula tion goes furtlior west and the Terri tories arc settled up we may expect that larger and larger appropriations will become necessary each year; but the wealth of the country will in crease as the population Increases, and it will he as easy to pay the amounts appropriated hereafter as it is to pay the amount asked for now. The simple fact that the amount is larger Ilian iu previous years is not a sufficient reason why we should not vote for it. As I liave already slated, tlie har bor of Savannah is one of national importance. It is not only one of na tional importance, hilt it is one where a very large section of tlie Union sends its productions out lo market. Rut there is another consideration ill favor of it. At tlie end of the war wc had no representatives here. And let me say to the Senator from Ken tucky [Mr. Rkck] Hint we arc greatly obliged to hi in for the kindness lie showed iis in our distress. He then stood hy us and our interests nnd was our representative to some extent, ami lie lias tlie gratitude and Hie af fection of llic people of Georgia on account of his stand-at lliut period when we weru not aide to heip.our- selvcs. At Hull ilnrk period Hie city of Savannah made large appropria tions from her own treasury. Issued her own bonds, nml lias alino-t bank rupted herself in lira debt she incurr ed in dredging nnd cleaning out her own liarlxlr. Tiff; military ojierations bfllic civil war had closed the Inn* hor, anil as wc could not get appro priations from the General Govern ment, and the Stale was not in a con dition to help us at that time, Siivan- nali herself stepped forward and did nil in tier power lo open her own harbor to tlie commerce of tlie world. I think this is aeonsideralion entitled to he weighed in Hu: decision of this question. I am glad Charleston got the appropriation she did ; I am glad Mobile got hers—one on eaeli side of ns—Cliarlcslnn $170,003, Mobile$125.- 000. Rut Savannah is surely entilled to more than $65,000, and l do not think it is fair to limit her lo Hint amount. Taking into consideration all that is to In; done nml nil Hull we need for the improvement of our const, I re-1 spectfnlly ask Senators lo waive tlie objection ami vote for this amend-! incut, which they admit ought to he made, nml which they say they would be willing to make if it were not for lIn: fart that il will increase the hill above tlie estimates of the committee. It is said there may be other amend ments offered lo the hill which ought not to he made. Arc wc iiotcompc- tent to decide between them ? Are we not competent to say which ought to pass and which ought not to puss? I think every Senator on tliis floor will net upon his ln;st judgment iu such mailers, and will’vote for what lie" thinks right. Why should not tliis amendment lie adopted ? Should my amendment of admitted merit be rejected because somebody else may oiler nil amend ment Ihai. ought not lo he made? 1 think not. 1 ask Senators to discrim inate carefully in this matter, to vole for Hint which ought to he passed, ami vote against (lint which ought not to he passed. If something else has actual merit besides llu: l>ill ns reported hy Hie committee, vote for it. If there is something offered that I do not think has merit in it I will not vote for it. I ntnnwarcof the great difficulty of attempting In pass an amendment over tlie opposition of llic Committee on Commerce, who have tlie loll in charge. Rut tin: merits of Hiis amendment nre so obvious I trust the Senate will sustain it notwith standing the opposition of llic com mittee, for whose opinions I liave Hie most profound respect. I deeply re gret Hint I had no opportunity to carry this matter before Hu: commit tee before they made their report. As I was not here at the time it is my misfortune, lint not my fault. Mr. VOORI1EES. As to tlie spe cific work under discussion, tlie Sen ator from Georgia [Mr. Brown] last evening presented it so ably, so clear ly, and so enticingly to my mind, for I learnt something from his talk, Hint I made up my mind then that, if for no other reason, ns a. compliment to that able Senator, I should vote for his proposition. I do not know Hint I shall vole for any other proposed amendment; I am inclined to think I slin.II not.; lint it docs seem to mo that the showing tlie Senator from Georgia made of Hie great interests converging al Savannah and its grant importance ns a shipping port, thor oughly justified him in asking that an exception be made iu favor of the amendment which lie oilers. Noth.—The House of Representatives included ill tlie hill $I0,(XM) for tlie harbor of Brunswick, Georgia. Tlie committee on commerce, in Hie Senate, pro|Misedau amendment to strike it out of tin: hill. Mr. Brown moved to disagree to tin: amendment and retain the appropriation. After considerable discussion tlie .Senate disagreed to the amendment anil sustain ’d Senator Brown's motion and the :i|>- propriatiou of $10,000 was made for Brunswick. Personal and Otherwise.

John Buouoiiam’s Wit.—The late John Brougham was well known as a wit, and his replies were always on tlie spur of the moment. At a ban quet in Now York he was seated next to Coroner Crokcr. A toast was pro posed, and Rrougham asked the cor oner what lie should drink it in.— “Claret,” said Ihe coroner. “Claret,” was tlie reply, “that’s no drink for a coroner! There’s no body iu that!” Nothing Lost.—Seliool-tcnohcr to little hoy, whose father is a grocer: “Now, Johnnie, if your fethcr has a barrel of whisky containing forty gallons, mid one-fourth of it leaks out, how many gallons docs he lose?"
