V.ABIIlNnTQf, Fob. 9, 187S. Among the Bitblucts ot Importance considered in tho Senate and IIouso slnco I wroto yon last, were the Mili tary Academy appropriation bill, tho Joint Resolution reported from tlio Ju dietary Commlttoo of tho IIouso, limit ing tlio Presidential turtn of cilice to one term nnd making tho President In eligible for ro-olectlon. These mattuis excited a great deal of interest and weio warmly donated. Tlio itepuuncan mi nority of tho House were most deter mined In their opposition to tlm great eductions inailo In tlio appropriations for tho Military Academy anil fought It Inch by Inch nt uvcry stogoof Its pro gress, but as It wai ono uf the series of tlm so-called reforms determined up on by tlio Domocrallo innjorlty they wero powerless to prevont us passage. It reduces tho pay of tho cadets at West Point from siGOO to fiHO per annum and also largely decreases the salaries of tho Protestors and all others connected with tho Institution, tho total reduction amounting to nearly ouu-half of tho carefully prcuared estimates maiiu uy the War Department for tho support of tlio Academy. Mr. Hurlbut, of III., characterized tlio bill as a lcft-linnded, awkward blow at the Military estab lishment ot the countiy. Tho bill pass ed tho IIouso by a paity vote. Tlio dohato upon tlio resolution limit ing tho Presidential term developed a wldo difference of opinion, and a great want of tnct on tho part of tho Demo crats. There was a disposition shown by tho Republicans to vote for tho bill with somo modifications, out witu a stubborn adherance to tho ono Idea principle, the majority voted down all amendments that wcieoffered and diove away nearly all Republican support, and tho bill was consequently defeat ed. A two-thirds vote being requited to pass it. After It was voted down a motion was made to re-cousldur,and tho bill was icfcrred back to the committee, which will endeavor to present it in a more ncceptablo shape at some future time. Tho question of the liability ot the Govcrninout for the Interest ou the three sixty-five bonds of the District of Columbia occasioned a long aim ex haustive debate in the Senate. Sena tor Sargent, of Lnllfornla, Bpoko for four hours and a half In defense of thu District Commissioners, who It was al leged had Issued bonds In excess of the limitations provided by Congress, nnu that tho Government was not therefore lespouslble for' the Interest on these bonds. The Senate, however, thought otherwise, ami the resolution providing for tho payment of the interest was passed. This debate was remarkable us being tho most rapid that has over lauen place In tlio .National uongros. and It is claimed by tlio reporters that tt Is the fastest on record. Tlio usual ayorage of a days' debate in the Senate Is about 14U words a minute, tliougn during part of tho day It may run up to t!00 words. Ou this occasion it aver aged 103 words per minute, and during a great portion of thu debatu .Mr. bar gent spoko at tho rate of 2"i0 words a minute. The Senate corps of tliort hapd reporters is acknowledged to be the best In tho country and their skill was taxed to tho utmost to keep up witu the debate, but they succeeded lu taking It all down. Mr. D. F. Murphy who is at tho head or the benato corps of official reporters Is universally ac knowledged to stand at tho head of his profession. lie has been official re porter of the senate for x'J years and made the first full report of tho debates In tho senate tlint ever was made. Tho committee ou appropriations have cut down tho fortification appropriation bill from (3,000,000 to ?300,00O, a stun not sufficient to keep" our forts and bar bor defences In deceut repairs. In tho event of a war with even a second or third class wartime power there would bo nothing to prevent tho enemy from battering down our sea board cities about our cars, if this sort ot policy is going to.prevail. We would be com pletely at the mercy of any petty JJuro peau power that could, muster a fleet of war ships to ravage our eoasts. The committee seem to havo forgotten tho time honored maxim "In tlmo of pcaco prcparo for war." Tho samo false economy is displayed in the consular ana diplomatic bill in consolidating and abolishing many of our foreign mis, slons to the great detriment of our com mercial relations with some of the rich est portions of tho globle. For Instance it Is proposed to consolldato tho South American Republics of Peru, Kquador and Columbia Into one mission, with one minister to look after the interests of the United States In this Immense ex tent of territory, coutalnlnc a DODula- tlon of 16,000,000 and Importing $100, 000,000 and exporting 8185,000,000 worth or goods every year. As In other parts of t.he world, by her enterprise, liberality and shrewdness. Great Britian Is monopolizing nearly all tha trade of tins immense reinon which is so rapid ly growing in commercial importance sue seos tuo importance or ueinc prop erly represented In these countries and would consider it a plcco of suicidal fol ly to call homo ministers and leave her largo Interests to take care ot them selves. It Is plain tq any one conver sant with these matters that In their efforts to save thousands the committee propose throwlnc away millions. Tho Senato Committo on territories have bad under consideration u bill tq admit Now Mexico as n State of tho union, ana tue uiscussion navinguevel oped a fcentlmont in favor of tho pro, Ject, It is probable that tho bill will bo reported to tho Senato before long with a favorablo rccommendatlou. If admit ted she will bo tho ilSth star in tho gal axy of tho States. TIitu seems to be little doubt that the Cento;iuaI bill win us- thu Senate. It Is nnparentlv galnlnc strength evnrv day and tho parlies having It In charge arojn no hurry, undortlui circumstan ces, to push it to a vote. Nearly all the Republicans nnd many of tho Demo cratic Senators havo expressed their In tention or voting rortho bll and loltlpg It go thtuugh without amendment The colored man nnd brother don't have a vory pleasant tlmo ai a L'opgress man. There arc ftix.ot thorn n thu iiouso nnu uioy seem m no if it very tnnpli to themselvvs. They aro quiet, well-behaved men. who aro alwnvx found In their simts.and do not nbtriido themselves upon thonotlco of the lfousu unnecessarily, and In thoso respects thoy set h good cKample whlflh many of their white brothem nt tho House would do well to follow Tho seat of ono of thoso colored members, Jcro Iinrnjson, of Alabama, Is contested aud a strong effort will bo mode to oust him, The plan Is for thocommttpu on privileges and elections to adopt a rule to throw out all votes that wero procur ed by bribery, and then trump up enough of such vot8 "to throw the d--d nigger out 1" though thin would require tho tluowlng out of a, 000 votes it is thought not linpiobjblo that be will bo unsealed. This ninn, who now represents tho (list district of Alabama, comprising six counties, was sold as a siavo on tho auction block in tlio city of Columbus, Is only 21) years old and educated himself alter he was emanci pated in lbOo. Ho deserves some cred it even If ho Is a Negio, and ho Is tho blackest of them all. The Democratic malorltv of thu IIouso Is getting dcepor nnd deeper in the mlro of their blunders uvery day. They aro an Ill-dlsclpllncd, badly handled set oi raw recruits, and are rapidly lc lug confidence In their relf-constituted and incompelmit leaders. Half thu time they don't know how to votu until some bell-wrather of the llock sets the example, whun they go tumbling after him llko a dock uf ihcup jumping over a shadow. They aro not making imy political capital by the- crudo ami Illy digested measures which they are try ing to pass, and hetweun the corrective inlliienees of the Senate and tho well -trained minority of the House they may not be able to do much damage to tha cuuntry alter all.
