Mr. Blount's report was characterized as containing “not one line of unvarnished truth” by Mr, Frye (Me.), while Mr. Vest (Mo.) declared that while he was opposed to the annexa tion of the isiands, the restoration of the queen by force would be “an act of war.” WasnixaTox, Dee. 15. —The senate yes terday transacted much business of a miscellaneous character. The house bill repealing the election laws, re ferred to the committee on privileges and election a few days ago, was reported back favorably &nd placed on the calendar Among the bills introduced the most im- portant was one by Senator Voorhees, chairman of the ittee on finance providing for the coinage of the silver seigniorage in the treasury at the rate of $2,000,000 per month, and, when that is ex hausted, for the purchase and coinage of a similar amount of silver monthly.

The first named addressed the senate in advocacy of the bill to repeal the federal election laws, while Senator Peffer argued in favor of the bill introduced by him appropriating money for immediate use in relieving want and destitution throughout the country. The house was in an ugly frame of mind all day. The Republicans were in a fight ing temper over the Hawalian situation when the house met and the row opened immediately.
