ducing internal revenue taxation. They

tions! doty imposed in 11*76 of 25 per oent,
on all rnolae^e* zzi cn sugars, according

foreign countries, tlx the duty on steel rail
way bara at $20 per ton, and make tho da-
ties on manufacture:* from hoop, band or
scroll iron the same m those imposed upon
the material from which they are made.
Mr. Bayard remarked that tho amend
meats had not been reported by a unani
mous vote. Tho bill, with amendment*,
was ordered reprinted.
The House bill providing for a building
in Brooklyn, New York, for the accommo
dation of po*t-otliee, internal revenue and
other government offloes, at a cost for *ito
and buildiug of $S0Q.0Q0, and for a like
building ill»Ilford, Mi J «ie«i|>pi, at $.Y\U<XJ
-were reported withoat amendment and
passed.
The Senate then resumed consideration
of tlie river and harbor bill, fhe question
being upon the amendment reported from
the epecial committee on tno subject,
appropriating $500,000 for the improve
ment of the Potomac flat* It was passed
(52 to 7) after a long debate.
Mr. Allison presented n conference re
port on the bank charter extension bill,
which was ordered printed and laid over
till to-morrow.
Mr. Bntler moved an increase of $200,
O00, making a total of $500,G0(A for
Charleston harbor, llo had read at the
clerk’s desk a recommendation for an in
crease by General Gilmore.
Mr. Conger, of the commerce committee,
which reported the bill, deprecated an ap
parent disposition in Congress to give
nndue weight to recommendations which
did not come through the proper commit
tee. He said i! the committee had follow
ed the suggestions for an increase which
had been made to them through other than
official channels, the bill would have
swollen to $".'.,000,000. He could i
just fication for the ponding motion.
Mr. Batler intimated that Sooth Caro
lina was entitled to benefit by the com
mittee's liberality, and culled Ni:. Conger's
attention to sundry items lor Michigan
riTer*, in which an increase hod been al
lowed.
Mr. Conger said that wherejhis own Stale
had received hundred*, other States have
'beengiven million* fnr rivers. He hud
even been driven to wonder at his own
moderation when he heard tie* di nmm i
that were made by other State-. It waa
better, however, to be grand than to bo in
significant in such matters, ho admitted,
and to demard millions at times, and be n
man among men. lie supposed the Sena
tor (Mr. Butler) would deem it unworthy
of himself to ask for U«*« than a con; !«* of
hundred thousands of inoroase, but
he Would have the Senator
reflect that there must bo a limit
to the size of tho bill somewhere. He then
argued that South Carolina had been
among the foremo-t of theStVes in form, r
years in re-i-tmg impruv.-nn-nt* by tl*-
general government, mul that thi- whs

Mr. Bntler replied, criticising Mr. Con
ger’s remarks as n speech for home con
sumption, and covering a sneer for
which tho inquiry he had addrwed to that
Senator furnished neither justification nor
pretext. He challenged his statements in
various particulars, and asserted that the
misrepresentations into which tho Senator
had fallen concerning the iocord of Mouth
Carolina upon intornal improvements was
upon a par with Ins misstatement* con*
oercing the Charleston harbor expandl-
liarrison, from the committee on
transportation routes to the seaboard,
offered an amend ment authorizing tho ex
penditure under the direction of tho Sec
retary of War of $20,000, or so much
thereof as may bo necessary, in completing

Mr. Morgan said he would demand n
separate vote upon the amonJmcnt when
the bill wa* reported to the Senate.

to adjourn, but Mr. McMillan, in charge
of the bill, insisted upon having it dis

proportions of the bill were gradually
swollen. Finally Mr. Vest, in opposing an
i '.crease of $50,QCQ for Cumberland 8ound
in Georgia and Florida, appealed to the
Instinotsof self-preservation of Senators
generally to prevent the loading down of
the bill to such an extent a* to make its de
feat inevitable. Mr. VanWyck replied that
Xhe commerce committee had loaded down
the bill before they reported it, and this
loading down had been for the hem-tit of
one end of the country. The effort in the
Senate had he.n to . qu.-dize thi.-.
r The conference report on tho bank char
ter extension bill was presented and agreed
to. Consideration of tho river and harbor

Mr. Vest farther protested against en

river improvement scheme, by butchering
it with innumerably Miiuller expendi

cutside and that insido the reefs. The gun
vessels Bittern, Beacon, Decoy and Ciig-
net attackod the Marabout batter-
lies at the entrance of the harbor,
and taking a clo«o and destructive range
soon silenced them, after which they ran
■land shelled Fort Mex on the southern
side of the entranoe. to tho anchorage in
’he outer harbor. The Invincible, under
over of her own guns and those of th*
ditteru, then landed a party of blue jacket*
end marines, who entered Fort Mex and
blowup tbe heavy gun*. Tho bombard-
ment practically ceased at noon, though
some heavy guns are at this hoar still shell
ing Fort Naj-deon, large works situated at
tho southern nDgleof the inner hnrbor and
dominating the town. The fort doe* not
reply. On tho whole, tho Egyptians fought

than bad been expected. Several of the
earthworks behind which some of tho guns
were mounted were found to be| 1
