I Washington, February 6.—In the Senate petitions for woman suffrage were presented from various States, and by Mr. Hoar, from citizens or Massacliu setts (of whom 10,000 are residents of Boston), for civil service reform. Mr. Hawley presented one on the subject. Mr. Morgan, from the committee public lands, reported favorably, with amendments, the bill granting the right of way over public lauds in Alabama, and to grant lands to said State in aid of the Gulf and Chicago Air Line Railway Company. Mr. Plumb, on behalf oi minority of the committee, said they would present their views in opposillou to the bill hereafter. Air. Morrill, from the committee on public buildings, reported favorably the senate bill authorizing and directing the purchase by the Secretary of tho Treas ury, for public use, of the Freedman’s Bank property a :d real c state, and par cels of ground a ijaceut thereto belong ing to the Freed uen’s Sr', ing and Trust Company, located on Pennsylvania ave nue, Washington. Mr M trrill asked its immidlate consideration, and stated that the bill wa3 identical with the one re ported in tho last Congress by Mr. Pugh that it proposed to pay not the actual cost of Lite building ($25S,000), but $250,- 00J, and that m his opinion the property was worth to-day $30,000 mire. Passed* A bill was introduced by Mr. Hawley, or Connecticut, retiring Quartermaster General Meigs with the rank and pay of major geueral. Mr.- Morgan offered a concurrent resolution as follows: That tiie increasing commercial intercourse be tween the people of Mexico and the United States, and the relations of friend ship and good will between the two great republics now so happily existing and so gratifying to the people of both countries, make it proper that the trade and com merce of the two countries, whether overland or by sea in ships owned by citi zens iu cilliet country, should be regulat ed by a treaty of reciprocity mutually ad vantageous to both countries. He asked that the resolution bo printed and laid ou tbe table, as he desired to speak upon it hereafter. So ordered. Thepeuding resolution offered by Mr. Vance, calling for information iu regard to alleged irregularities iu the sixth inter nal revenue collection district of North Carolina, was withdrawn, the infor mation having been furnished alter the morning hour. The tesolution that the pension arrears law ought uot lo be repealed came tip as unfinished business, but was laid aside informally with the assent of its author, (Ingalls). Air. Williams, to whom the floor was ally assigned, then proceeded to mako !bch on the tariff, the Alorrill tariff commission bill being taken up for this purpose. He'announced his opposition to the measure, and favored a tariff revision by a joint committee of the two Houses, lie favored a tarifflbr revenue. At 2:15 Mr. Williams concluded, and the Senate resumed the consideration of Mr. Insalls’ resolution declaring that the pension arrears law ought not to be repeal ed. . Mr. Ingalls moved to modify the amendment, declaring in favor of pen sions to soldiers of tbe Mexicau war so as to limit it to the needy and disabled. lie then spoke at length in advocacy of his resolution. Messrs. Yauce ami Hawley also spoke upon the resolution. Without actioni, it was laid aside tor an executive session. During the day Mr. Plumb re ported favorably from Uie committee on pjbiic lands a bill, granting right of way through the public lands to tbe l’alatka aud Indian River Railway Com p&ny. Bills were introduced by Mr. Harrison defining the powers and jurisdiction of the Mississippi River Commission, author- iz'ug the appropriation of lauds and mate rial fur improvement of tiie Mississippi river and its navigable tributaries pre scribing the mode of assessing damages for property so appropriated, aud provid ing penalties for acts iu hindrance pf the proposed improvements. After an executive session the Senate adjourned until to-morrow. - HOUSE. Mr. Belmont, of New York, offered resolution calling on the President to fur nish the House with a transcript of the letleis of Jacob R. Shepherd, of New Kork, dated Juno 2, August 9, September 28, and November 15,1881, and the re plies thereto, now on tho files of the State Department. Also copies ot any other let ters already communicated from which the names of persons or firms have been omitted, and requesting the President to inform the House what measures liavo been taken to recover tiie letters declared to be missing from the files of the depart ment. Under tiie call oi the States a resol u- was introduced by Air. Springer, of Illi nois, calling on Uie President for informa tion as to tho right or authority under which tho republics of North and South America were invited to send com missioners to a peace congress to be held iu Washington in November, 18S2. By Mr. King, of Louisiana, a bili «p- propropriatlug $10,000 to enable tbo com missioner of agriculture t j investigate the origin and spread of cocoa grass. By Mr. Mills, of Texas, a resolution caliingon the Secretary of tha Interior for information as to the number of acres of public lauds that have been granted by Congress directly to corporations and through tho States; what railroads have been subsidized and the number of acres granted to each.

Mr. Burrows, ot Michigan, moved to suspend tbe rules and pas3 the bill defin ing the qualifications of Territorial dele gates in tbe House nr Representatives, it provides that no person who is guilty of bigamy or polygamy shall be eligible to a scat iu Congress as a delegate from any Territory. Tbe Houso was in a very in attentive mood, and when the Speaker put the question there wero few respouses, lie, however, declared the motion carried, and the bill passed. It was only a burst of laughter that apprised mauy members of tiie measure which had been adopted. Mr. Bayne, of Pennsylvania, offered a resolution reciting an allegation that Thomas Shields aud two other citizens of tiie United States were confined in jail in Mexico for a breach of civil con’raci; that they wrote to Minister Morgan, but re- etived no answer, and directing the Sec retary of State to examine into the mat ter and report tbe facia to tho House. Adopted. Mr. Joyce, of Vermont, moved to sus pend the rules and pass tho bill for the appointment ot a commission on the sub ject of tbe alcoholic liquor traffic. Mr. Bragg, of Wisconsin, demanded a second. The motion was seconded, and there being no desire expressed on either side to dis cuss tbe question, a vote was taken upon the adoption of the motion. The motion was lost by yeas 112, nays OS—not tiie necessaiy two-thi.-d* In the affirmative. This was a strict party vote except that ,. ’So. while I am y vrntoful lor predictions of glory tin: t sure liiv merit of exportation Immeasurably, 1 am not deceived as to wbat-ran be ocromplbhed in that time that Is yet allotted me.

Mr. Plumb, from the cotnraitieo public lands, reported favorably to-day the bill recently introduced by Senator Call, of Florida, granting a right ot w 200 feet wide througii the public lands the Paialka and Indian River Railroad Company ot the State of Florida, The bill provides that in case tbo road is not completed in five years, the land shall re vert to tbeUnitcdSiates.

Washington, February 7.—Iu the Senate, reports upon private measures re fating to pensions, relief of official sccuri lies aud kindred propositions occupied the greater part of the morning hour. These included favorable reports ou tbe bill grouting the temporary use of the United States barracks at Baton Rouge. Louisiana, to the Stale institut’.pn for the blind. The chair submitted, in response to Senate resolution of inquiry, a statement by the Secretary of the Treasury of fees and costs collected under the law from American shipping during 1881. Bills wero introduced by Mr. Garland to grant to the Mississippi, Albuquerque and Inter-Ocean Railway Company the right ot way through tho Indian Terri lory, aud by Mr. Farley to admit free duty steam plow machinery adapted tiie cultivation of tiie soil. Mr. Morgan, from the committee ott foreign relations, reported favorably tho bill in relaliou to tho Japanese indemnity fund. Mr. Hawley reported favorably, from the military committee, a bill to retire Brevet Brigadier-General Meigs, with the rank aud pay of major-general. On motion of Mr. Dawes, a resolution was adopted railing tor the report of tiie aciiug commissioner of tho general land ofliee, of April 25, 1SSI. In refer ence to the right of occupation by set tiers of any portion of tho iudiau Terri torv. On motion of Mr. Harrison, the Sen ate hill tor the delivery of one huudred aud filly pieces of condemned bronze cannon to tho society cf tho Army of tho Cumberland, for a Garfield statue Washington, was considered. Tiie committee’s -amendment substi tuting a provision for the payment by tiie secretary of war of $7,000 out of the pro ceeds Of condemned ordnance, was agreed to, and the bill, as amended, passed. The unfinished business, Mr. Ingall resolution approving the pension arrears law, come up at 1:15, aud was laid aside informally. Mr. Coke was then awarded the floor for a speech upon the tariff, the Alorrill commission bill being taken up to allow him to speak. He favored a tariff revision by a committee of tbe two houso*, and hoped-for a report from them aud final action thereon at the present session. Upon the geueral qvosllon he advocated a tariff for revenue, with an ad- dltionto'thc free list of every article upou which a tax for rcvetiue is unnecessary, and seid the Alorrill system, by its min strous taxation, has enriched a few man u*acturers while destroying the revenue and burdening the people, especially the agricultural class. He said that in carrying ont the novel ami dangerous theory that protection for itself not for revenue is a legitimate func tion of the tarifl'Incorporatesl capital seeking to perpetuate indefinitely tiie high war duties which had been tolerated only as a temporary expedient. Upon the importance of more iutimate com mercial relations with,Mexico,aud obstacle in the way of our sharing in the Mexican trade, Mr. Coke ottered tiie propositions and appeals made by him in the Senate three years ago for government aid in tiie ’building of roads to tbe Rio Grande -his main object hav ing then been to attract private capital to the development of wes tern Texas. Since then tiie San Antonio and Laredo road has been built aud was now Icing extended <uto Mexico, and the Galveston and Carmargo line is rapidly gdlug forward. At El Paso and Laredo wc already have rail communication with Mexico, aud at Ezgle Pass will have with in three months- These rail facilities se cured te the United States speedy trans portaticn of troops and supplies for the protection of our Western border, and opened an avenue to tiie Mexican market for our surplus home manufactures. But our tariff, iu adding 45 per ceui lax lo the homo market price of our goods and cost of freight, excludes our manufacturers from the Mexicau market, as they cannot possibly make a prolit un less they ean undersell their European competitors tli‘ , re. The high Mexican tariff is proldbiiory on some oi our manu factures, especially on cotton goods and the like. As Hexican exports, being raw material, arc admitted free under our tariff, we hare nothing to offer as an in ducement for Afexlco to reduce her high duties. Besides, if such reduction should benefit our foreigu competitors equally with ourselves, as it is probable it would, iu view of the leeling against ns in Mexico, it would not benefit us at ali. These were the obstacles in our way to the Mexican market- one of great Im portance in tho future—and while urging tiiat tiie strongest efforts should bo made to facilitate commercial exchanges with Mexico, Mr. Coke read from Mr. Schlicch- er’s report Irom the House committeo on foreigu relations in 1878, to show that the outlook for their success was discour aging. Our remedy for this condition of tilings as to Alexico is the same that it is as to other countries. We must have a low tariff at home, which will cheapen our goods abroad and will admit foreigu products lu exchange for our own. By no other means could our manufacturers compete with or ynderseli foreigners. A reciprocity treaty with Mexico should be urged, as a means of abolishing tho “Zona Libre,” with Us smuggling facilities, of empowering our citizens to hold and ac quire Mexican border real estate, of re pressing border lawlessness aud definitely arranging the Rio Grande boundary. After au allusion to the nearness to saltwater and commercial distributing points ot Texas for tiie golden stream of trade which if invited to enter by a wise xilicy would eventually flow into the Jnitcd States, Mr. Coke proceeded to review and reply to tbo pointsjnade In the tariff speeclTof Mr.Mo:riil. As to the claim that tiie first tariff act of 1780 showed that the fathers were committed to the protec tive policy; lie presented the contrast of tiie dependent and defenseless colo nies with our present national superiority to show that the arguments aud poli cies of that day are now inapplicable. He agreed with Air. Morrill as to the superior excellence of our manufactures, and claimed that thiavery fact was a suffl- 8ex cient reason for doing away with duties from 50 to 90 per cent, with which we pro tected such superior articles. The very necessities of extraordinary development made a foreign market for oar manufac tures imperative, and iu order tu relievo alize less than 5 perjeent. on their capita while our manufacturers make dividends of from 8 and 10 to 25 and 40 per cent, Tiie claim that an alleged over produc tion qf unsold merchandise abroad would have Tonud a market here In tiie panic of 1873 but for our protective policy, was disputed by Mr. Uoke, who asserted that but for the tariff taxes our farmers wou* * have made three dollars where our manu factures lost half a dollar, if anything, In that year of great firelgn demand for our surplus at high prices. He denounced tiie protective policy as a conspicuous feature of that vast legislation which has created a railroad aristocracy, and by its lax on iron and steel burdened the farmers with the high rales on their traffic resulting from the increased cost of railroad con struclion. As to tho assumption of Mr. Alorrill that the manufacturing towns aud States furnished homo markets sufficient to compensate our farmers for the burdens or the tariff, lie cited statistics to show tiiat such localities, with the exception of tho Now England States, raised enough of food products to supply their own markets, and tiiat the Soutli was the only market for tho surplus products of tiie Northwest. Extensive manufacturing in the Soutli would bring about free trade, because the proximity to the raw material would give Southern manufac turers such an advantage over their North e:n competitors that the latter would lose their home market aud be compelled to compete in foreign markets. Air. Coke then proceeded to siibstantiati by reference to the tariff rates his gener alization tiiat the import duties Increase relatively the cost to tiie consumer of do mestic articles, and tint the excess of cost of the latter goes into the pockets of our manufacturers, Mr. Coke concluded at 3:10, after speaklugfor three hours, when several measures of no general importance were passed. Tho peusion arrears reso lution was taken up and laid over as nil finished business, and at 5 o’clock the Senate adjourned uulii to-morrow. ROUSE. On motion of Mr. Vance, of North Carolina, a resolution was adopted direct iug the F-’stmaster-Uenerai.to turnish the House with such luformatfon as he may have coiicerninglhocustom of sub-letting contracts for carrying tho United States mail. Mr. C:apo, ot Massachusetts, chairman of the committee on banking aud curren cy, repotted a bill to enable national Ranking associations to extend their cor porate existence. Mr. Buckner, ot Mis souri, presented a minority report, which, with tho report of the majority, was re ferred to tho House calendar. . Mr. Lord, of Michigan, from the com mittee on foreign affairs, reported back adversely the Nicaraguan claim bill, and it was laid upou tho table. Mr. Gibson, of Louisiana, from tiie committee on cotwuerce, reported a bill to extend the limits of tho port of New Orleans. Placed on the House calendar. Bills were reported from the committee on public buildings for tha erectiou cf public buildings at Oxford, Miss., aud Augusta, Ga. Referred to the committee of the whole. At the conclusion of tho morning hour, Mr. Page, of California, called up tbe special order, being the bill to restrict Chinese immigration. Mr. Prescott, of New York, antagonized this with a mo tion to take up for present consideration the apportionment bill, and as the order setting apart to-d&y for the consideration of tbe Chinese bill made it subservient to aporopriation bills aud tbe apportionment bill, Mr. Paco yielded, but asked tbat it be made the special older for cousideration as soon as the apportion ment bill aud the post-office appropriation bill were disposed of. Mr. Ellis, of Louis iana, objected. Upon a point of order the Speaker decided I bat (lie apportionment bill presented a privileged question. Mr. Page raised the question or consideration. Tiie House decided, by yeas 183 to nays 03, to consider the apportionment bill, By uuautinous consent Mr. Ryan, of Kansas, was permitted to report from tho committee on appropriations the Indian appropriation bill, and it was referred to the committee of Uie whole. It appropri ates $4,920,203, which is $021,510 less than estimates, anil $351,000 greater than tbe amount appropriated for tbe current year. The number of agents is reduced from 07 to 00. Mr. Prescott was awarded tiie floor for the purpose of debate, but yielded for amendmeata, which were submitted as follows :,By Mr. Anderson,of Kausas, fix ing the number of Representatives at 325; by Air. Burrows, of Michigan, at 321; by Air. Joyce, of Vermont, at 305; by Mr. Page, of California, aud Mr. Springer, of Illinois, at 319; by Mr. Baggs, oi New Hampshire, at 321, and by Mr. Robinson, of Ma\*;u'lKiS(‘Us, at, 3*1. Mr. Prescott then proceeded to review the question. The hill was sharply criticised by several gen tlemen and advocated by others, but the debate to-day indicated that it had more enemies than friends. Pending the dis, cossion, the House adjourned, THE COMMITTEES. The House committee on elections to day refused to consider Uie protest of Dibble,tho sitting member of the fifth dis trict of South Carolina, and ordered him to file a brief. This case is docketed with tiie committee as Mackey vs. O’Couno*. The committee bave decide! that Dibble must file a brief and defend his title iu tlte saute manner that O'Connor would hare been required to do had he lived to have taken Ilia seat iu the House. Tho House committee on banking and currency authorized Representative Marsh to-day to report favorably to tbe House bis bili which provides that treasury notes of tbe United States known as legal ten der notes .shall be liable to State taxation on an equality with gold and silver coin during tbe time they contiuuo to be re deemable in coin by the treasury, and no longer. The House committee on post-offices and post-roads to-day instructed Repre sentative Lacey, of Michigan, to report to tho House, with favorable recommenda tion, a bill providing for tbe establishment of postal savings banks. The nouse committee on ways and means, this afternoon, agreed to report a bill providing for the appointment of a commission to Investigate the question of tariff. Tills is a substitute for the Kas- son bill, which concluded consideration by a commission of internal revenue laws as well as of tariff. NOMINATIONS. Tiie President to-day nominated Anse- lin Ne wberger to be collector of customs at Natchez, Miss.; Thomas N. Cooper, to be collector of internal revenue ibr the sixth district of North Carolina; Badell Duncan, of South Carolina, to bo consul general at Naples; II. U. C. Ashwood, of * ouisiaua, to be consul geueral at Trim dad. THE CHARLESTON JETTIES. After an infirmal discussion by Messrs. Morgan and Allison upon fie suffi ciency eftbe response made by the Secre tary of War to Mr. Morgan’s resolution calling for tiie full report of the mixed board of ordnance, etc., the response re ferred to was read. It states, upou tbe authority of the president of tbe board, that ic is impracticable to make a full re port at this lime, but that the board ex pects to make such report before the end of tiie preseat fiscal year. Mr. Morgan criticised the response as in tbe nature of an evasion of the inquiry aud as snubbing ilie Senate. He remarked that he hail been Informed that some of the heavy guns ordered to be built by lie govern ment, ar.d costing $00,000 apiece, had burst -when being tested, and h i would insist upon having the facts. Mr. Allison explained that umler Uie act creating it, the board referred to did not enter upou its duties until July 1st, and as a full re port upon the action of the board which the resolution called for was not in '.he possession of the Secretary of War, no more satisfactory response than the one which had been received could be now rendered. Mr. Hawley bad read an ex planatory letter on tho subject from the chiet of ordnance, and the matter was then passed over without further notice. Mr. Call offered resolutions, which were laid over to enable him to speak upon them hereafter, direciing tho Secre tary of State to institute negotiations for a reciprocity treaty with the states of Cen tral and Sou'.h America, and also declar ing that tho good faith of the United States required the execution of tiie obli gations imposed by the treaty with Spain iu 1810 for tiie cession of Florida, by the payment, with interest, for claims for losses aud damages adjudicated by United States tribunals.. Mr. Hoar reported from the committee on claims au original bill (as a substitute for one referred to tiie committee) to pr> v.defortlie repayment to the Stale of Georgia of $22,507—money advanced by said State for tiie delcnso of her frontiers against tiie Indians. He said the naked question presented by the resolution was, shall the soldiers of the Union, their widows aud orphans receive this amount from the govern, ment or not? He (Vest) had been a Confederate, honestly and earnestly, with iris whole soul devoted to tho success of that cause which surrendered at Apio- mattox. He mentioned to-day this piece of personal history only that he miglit state in the most emphatic manner aud !u tills place that he bad accepted the full aud legitimate results of tbat sur render without qualification, evasion or limitation. All that be had ever asked, ail that the people of tho South ask, is that they might be believed to be lionest casualty. The bill confines the jurisdic tion oi the Postmaster-General to claims which miy arise hereafter, or which have arisen within tbe past six years, but on motion of Mr. Robinson, of Alas:aehusetta this limitation was increased to fifleeu years. The bill as amended was passed The consideration of the apportionment bill was then resumed, Mr. Aiills, or Texas, submitting au amendment Uxing tiie Dumber or Representatives at 307. After several members bad spoken, the matter went over fjr tiie present, and tbe Sherman funding bill was taken from tbe Speaker’s table and referred to tiie com mittee on ways atul means. At 3o’clock tbe IIouss proceeded to pay its list tribute of resp-ct to the late M. P. O’Connor, oi soutli Carolina. Eulogies wero delivered by Messrs. Dibbie, ot 8-talh Carolina, ltandail of Pennsylvania, Bowman, of Mas acbusetls, Maginr.iss ot Montana, Lindsey ot Maitie,beitzUoover of Pennsyl vania, Ellis of Louisiana, Robinson, of New York, Evans of South Carolina, and others.

February 6.—In the Senate, Mr. Miller, of New York, and Mr. Dawes presented petitions for a con stitutional amendment to prohibit any abridgment of suffrage on account •' Mr. Vance reported adversely from the naval committee the Senate bill prohib iting ministers of a denomination having already six respesentatires on the active list from being appointed as chaplains in the navy, and providing for four addi- an already glutted market we must un- ^ ^ derrell for ®'S" competitors.

Those who risk ed afl and lojt all had a right to demand this, and it would be accorded by every just aud generous minded man. One of the inevitable evidences and legitimate consequences of the success of the Union arms was the payment of pensions and bounties to the men whose valor and he roism gave victory to the Union cause. A people who would not tints reward tiie sacrifices of life rnd limb for a nation’s life wquld desc.ve to be stricken from the map of Christendom. He (Vest) had been a member of tho Confederate Senate, aud if in tiie providence of God his cause had succeeded, he would have voted to the sur vivors of those gallant brigades whose tat tered gray was hurled by Lee and Jack- son against tbe Union lines every dollar otomoney and every acre of land until their just demands had been satisfied. “Standing here to-day,” he continued, “in the presence of the victors and the vanquished, I declare tiiat tho Confeder ates accept cheerfully the result which leaves to them only the consciousness ot lioridt motives—only a history of un qualified heroism; ai d they accept at the same time the further result which gives to tho soldiers of the Union what has been awarded to them by a grateful country.” Mr. Maxey said that ot tiie members of Congress who were in the Confedera'e army an overwhelming majority votNl for the arrears law, aiuldid so upon tiie principle so eloquently stated by tbe Senator from Missouri (Vest). could say for himself tbat since had been a member of the Senate lie had done everything in Ills power to bring about complete fraternal relations be tween the people of the North aud the Soutli, and the record would he searched iu vain for a word offense to any Union soldier. He was, therefore, surprised tho other dav to bear U<e Senator from Kan sas (Mr. Ingalls) cliargo that the iutroduc tion of repealing bills in tbo Uonse by former Confederates was a auspicious cir cumstance. Ho believed this, however, to bo in accordance with the custom of the Republican aide to impugn the motives of the minority. He believed witk Mx. Vest that if the Confederacy had been estab lished the gallant soldier who fought un der tho stars aud bars would have been liberally rewarded. The Senate, at 12:30, resumed consid eration of the resolution declaring tbe pension arrears law ought not to be re pealed, and Mr. Blair, in its favor, made au argument to illustrate the principle upon which the arrears are baaed. Mr. Vest submitted and had read a statement by Commissioner Dudley giving as the total cost of the law $301^904.493, and proceeded to make an eloquent speech in advocacy of the bill and of the principles underlying ourpensiou Jaws. A discussion followed, participated in by Messrs. Hoar, Allison, Ingalls and Butler, upon tiie propi iety of making the declaration in regard to pensioning tbe soldiers of the Mexican war more specific, in view ot the existing provision* of the law. Mr. Ingalls finally assented to a suggestion bv Mr. Butler to allow tho res olution io lie over until to-morrow, adding that he did so upou the understanding that a vote would ihen be taken upon it. Mr. Allison asked whether tho under standing was binding, and the chair re plied tbat not being an order of the Senate ts effectiveness was doubtful. The reso lution was then laid aside Informally. The remainder of the day was Deci ded in tho passage of Senate bills uot ob- ected to, ol which only three were of mve than passing interest. These were the following: Appropriating$20,114 for the filliiig up, drainage and placing in good sanitary condition of tiie grounds south of the capitoi, along tho line of the old canal, anil for other purpoies; lo ac cept and ratify an agreement submitted by the Crow Indians, of Montana, for tiie sale of a portiou of their reservation; and to establish ports of delivery at Kan sas City and St. Joseph, Mo. The Senate at 4 o’clock went into ex ecutive session, and soon alter adjourned. HOUSE. Mr. Kassor, from tho committee on ways and means repotted the tariff com mission bill, which was referred to the committee of the whole. He said he would ask Us consideration, at as early a da/ as business would permit. Mr. Mor rison said the report was not the unani mous report of the committee, and as the majority had presented uo reasons why the bill should pass, the minority had not thought it necessary lo submit their views. Mr. Randall gave notice that be would offer au amendment providiug that tho commission shall consist of two Senators, three Representatives aud four experts. Under the call of tbe ccminiltecs the following reports were submitted: By Mr. McK-uley, from ilia committee ou ways auil means, to admit free of duty a monument lo General Washington. Re ferred to the committee of the whole. By Mr. Reed, ot Maine, from the ccmrait- tee ou tiie judiciary, to re-eatablish the Court of Counniisiouers of Alabama Claims, and to distribute the unexpended moneys of tiie Geneva award.

A bill for the erection of a public building at Lynchburg, Va.» was reported from the committee on public buildings and grounds snd referred to tbe committee ot the whole. At the conclusion of the morning uour, the House resumed consideration of the bill authorizing tiie Pcstruasler-Ueneral to j adjust the cla ms of postmasters for losses iivi by burglary, fire or other unavoidable gtrakto.iiA t ceding one million dollars, as shall 'cient to pay claims for losses and jes as:erta‘.ncd to be due to ciaim- nder the treaty made between Spain and/Jbe United States in 1318-10 for tiie c-s-nm of Florida.

Wo have cocstruried n now Washing Ms- chine, a practical device for wnahing cloth ing, ns follows, viz.: Wo tako n cylinder in which wo p'.r.-o (h* clothing to to washed, and arrt.". ;o it iu <t common wa*h boiler. Under that cylindet we have arranged n system i f vr.lw* which control tho water, when pat in motion fay boat or baiting, in inch a manner as to make tho cylinder rovolvo ns rapidly aa do- sired. Tha nppliention oi this device is peculiar and truly wonderful. Clothing mado to pas* rapidly through water boiling hot in this manner, is cloan.v ed moat speedily and thoroughly. Thirty miuufaw’timo is nil that is needed to wash any clothing, however much soiled it n.a bo. No robbing or pounding require !: n woar and tear • f material. Tho mc;‘.won derful iaber-saving machine or d» v ioo «ve invented. A cjiild coil operate it, or cr.s person can nso it ns well os another. No skill is required; it cannot get oat of order This invention needs only to be roen t« bo appriciated. All nro surprised rX it simplicity, and wonder why it was not dis covered before. Just think of it A family can Jo an or dinary washing before breakfast. Tnl yoa clothes in tho cyliu ler; then fill in wnte enough to cover tho oylinder or clothing abont one inch; p’aco it on the run.:: o r stove, or anywhere you can get brisk re under it. As soon as the water fcegir s to boil the cylinder will revolve rapidly. Con tinue the motion say thirty minuteej then tako out the clothing, rinse and wring on and you will find them perfectly close. Clothing washed in this manner will wear a third longer than by any ether method. This Washer is an article of true t-'.c: and soils*at sight. It only requires to be shewn in operation to mako a sale, na it ntirely dilleront trom anything ever offer ed to the public. Thereto re wo ward none bat good men to introduce it for us: to such men wo mako liberal forms. Everybody knows that olothing made to pass thi oga water will bo washed. Boatmen, fa* soldiers, and others havo often washed their clothing perfectly t-lean without th. aid oi soap, by eecaring (hi m to a line f . far od to tho stem of the boat while in moh'c:.-. It is water (assisted by soap) pasahv through tho material that remove* the dirt. At thing that will accomplish this without la bor, or weariuu tho material, is zn inn . ov.j- ment lung sought after but never at; ,-u 1 until ihe invention of tho SELF ACTIJ' > WASHING MACHINE All order* and letters of inquiry attended to yr.imptly.
