Thd extension of the Carolina Cen-
tral Railroad in accordance With: the
termi ;f .the original charter is again
being talked about In a well written
contributlaii to the-Shelby Aurora on
, the subject, the writer calls attention
to what he understands to be the fact,
that a JUne' through Hickory Kut dx
thence through North Georgia, Ala
- bma,-MissiB3l ppi," into Texas,is eighty
miles shorter than any other route from
the Northwest to the Atlantic Ocean,
making "Wilmington the port into
which the products pf th West could
empty themselves. It is not to be ex
pected that the State would or could
lend any material aid to the extension,
haying already exhausted her resources,
but it is very well to put the matter be
fore the public. Certain it is that a
lire of railroad constructed as proposed
wwuld pass through one of the finest
sections of Western North Carolina.
The sixty days allowed the Legisla
ture for the transaction of the business
of the session is certainly sufficient, and
might be even less. In Georgia the
length of the session ia forty days, and
the South Carolina Legislature, which
.hat "distinguished itself by its wisdesv
and prudence, spent only thirty days at
the capitol. The length of sessions in
other States are as follows: r"In Louisi
ana, Maryland and. gmi the ses
sions are limited to 90 days ; in Tennes
see to 75 days; in Missouri to 70 days;
in Arkansas, California, Florida, Indi
ana, Kentucky, Minnesota, Nevada and
Texas to 60 days ; in Alabama and Kan
sas to. Z0 days; in West Virginia to 45

Oregon to 40 days.

, . iteierrea to me committee on unance.
Burflslde asked the chairman . of the
committee on foreign affairs, Mr.
Eaton, to inform the Senate whether
any action had been taken by that com
mittee on the joint resolution intro
duced by Burnside on June 25th last,
deprecating the construction of the in
teroceanic canal by foreign powers.
Mr. Burnside hoped that still stronger
ground might now be taken by this
government audits opposition be de
clared to the construction of such a
canal by any company incorporated by
any foreign government.
Eaton replied that no action had Deen
taken by the committee on that sub
ject lie had no doubt that the matter
would be brought to the consideration
of the committee without great loss of
time.
Tho Vice President submitted the re
cotnendation of the secretary of war for
an additional appropriation of a million
of dollars to replenish the depot stock
of clothing which is exhausted. Also

porc or nie supermtenaeni 01 tne cen
sus regarding the alleged frauds in the

. : The bill appropriating $526,739 to pay

transportation, &c., was taken up.
Kernan offered an amendment refer
ring Holladay to the committee of
claims Referred, ; The Senate adjourn
ed.
House. The House was called to or
der' at ' 12 , o'clock, and the journal of
December 22d, was read and approved.
5 Tnejtipeaker then, as the regular or
der, proceeded to call the committees
for reports.
Stephens, of Georgia, chairman of
the committee on coinage, weights and
measures, reported back the bill amend
ing section 3,524 of the Revised Statutes,
aaasvthe authorize the charge for re
fining1 bulrron, when at or before the
standard. Referred.
The morning hour having expired,
Springer, of Illinois, introduced a bill
for tho apportionment of representa
tion in Congress among the several
Stitis.nd-to secure to the poovleof
l-eaoif State equal and just representa
tion in the House of Representatives.
A short discussion ensued as to
Itvhetiiet, the committee on elections or
thekwmmittee oh xilaims should have
charge of the bill.
Springer, of Illinois, stated that the
bill embodied more -than a mere ap
portionment. It was drawn in ac
jcoxdance with the .principle of the mi
nority representation. It provided for
tht same number of members during
the noxtdfleeade that now composed
I the Hus&4-9S. Deducting Territories
and the District of Columbia, the popu
lation of the country was 499,714,
which, boifigvided by 298j left k pop
ulation; of 169;497 as the ratio for one
member of Congress. The bill was
finally referred- to the committee-'On
census. . .
Townshend, of Illinois, introduced a
bill relating to the retirement of army
officers. Referred. r j
' Clymer, of Pennsylvania, stated that
the gentlemtm from New York, (F.
Wood) who bad charge of the funding
bill was ill ' this morning, and had re
quested him to proceed with the ap-
pxonriaUcn bills.
The House then, at 1 o'clock, went
into the committee of the whole, Har
jfis of -Virginia,- in the chair on the
army appropriation bill.
? Clymer-, of Pennsylvania, explained
the previsions of the bill, which ap
propriated $2$,180,800 an apparent re
ductiou from the appropriation for the
pending year, though really an in
crease on account of re-appropriations.
The bill was than read by sections for
amendments.
Hawley, of Connecticut, offered an
amendment, increasing the number of
enlisted men in the army from 25,000
to 26,000. Ruled out on a point of or
der. Warner, of Ohio, offered an amend
mendment, providing that ne officer on
active duty in the field shall be retired
without his consent. He was induced
to offer the amendment in view of the
late retirement of the distinguished
and grand officer who had been in the
field ever Since the close of the war.
His retirement had been made, not On
purely military, but on political .con
siderations. ,He believed it was due to
Gen. Ord, the' officer to whom he re
ferred, that the country should under
stand that his retirement in place of
Gen. McDowell was .not, under the cir
cumstaices, in harmony with the mer
its of the two officers. Warner had
heared of a rumor that Gen. McDowell
had drawn his mileage for going to
IJew York to vote, and he inquired
whether this bill, contained an appro
priation for the payment of the mi
leage. Clymer replied that the mileage had
been provided fox, the appropriation
bill for the current year. - -
Kleiftr: "Does the gentleman state
as a fact that Gen. McDowell did draw
the mileage?"
Warner iuI state that it was sore
ported." The amendment was ruled out on a
point of order.
Clymer offered an amendment ap
propriating 8125.000. to pay land grant
railrords 60 per cent of what thr
Quartermaster-General finds justly due
them for transportation. Adopted. -
S The committee then rose and report
the bill to the House, and it was
passed.- ; ,
' Reagan, of -Texas, moved that the
440userocQXta:th consideration ox
the House calendar, statins his inten
tion to call up the inter-State com
merce bill a bill of more importance
than the. funding bill, or any other
measure before Congress.
Blount, of Georgia; "differed from
Reagan, thinking the funding bill the
more important measure of the two.
Reagan's motion was' agreed to, ana
m House calendar was taken up.
The first bill was the Hostetler bill
prohibiting "political assessment," the
first of which was greeted with laugh
tenon the Republican side, and though
there was some disposition to take it
up, it was laid aside for the present.
Frye, of Maine, inquired whether the
inter-State commerce bill would gain
any advantage by being taken up to
day. The Speaker replied that the funding
bill wis in the committee of the whole,
and that a motion to go iuto such committee-
would bave the preference at
any time.
The inter-State commerce bill was
finally taken up.
Reagan stated that, though he had
reported the bill from the committee,
he did not approve its provisions, and
had offered a substitute, which bo pro
ceeded to support. The hour allowed
him expired before he finished speak
ing, and the matter went over, the un
derstanding being that when it next
comes up one or two days shall be al
lowed for debate.
Upson, of Tetf&s, introduced a bill
authorizing the President to retire
Brigadier-General Ord on his brevet
rank of major-general. Referred.
The Speaker submitted a letter from
the Postmaster-General relative to bags
of mail matter retained in the Wash
ington postoffice which it was attempt
ed to send through the mail under the
franks;
Brewne, of Indiana, called for its
reading, pending which the House ad
journed. WOIUS IN THE COMMITTEES.
The House committee on appropria
tions met this morning and agreed to
add $125,000 to the army appropriation
bill for the purpose of paying fifty per
cent, to the land grant railroads in ac
cordance with the recent decision of
tho Supreme Court
Representative Clymer, in charge of
the bill, was instructed to call it up to
day for action by the House.
Several verbal amendments were also
agreed to by the committee, and will
be offered when the bill is called up.
The total amount now appropriated by
the bill is $26,816,800.

TELECHAPHIC IPAKIU.
The steamer Fain ley from Savannah
for lievals is supposed to have been
lost on the coast of Denmark.
Fowler, Crompton & Co., of New
York, importers, have made an assign
ment. The liabilities are half a mil
lion. The magnificent Hodge opera house
and Gargling Oil building adjoining it,
in Lockpert, N. Y., were totally des
troyed by lire early yesterday morning.
The total loss is fully one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars.
The State Credit Democrats met in
aueus in Nashville, Tenn., day before
yesterday, and appointed a committee
to confer with the committee of Low
Tax Democrats relative to the future
course of the party in the Legislature.
The Senate has not yet organized, being
apparently at a dead-lock between the
liepublicans and Low-Tax Democrats
and State Tax Democrats.
The jail at Louisa court house, Vir
ginia, was destroyed by fire day before
yesterday. The only prisoner confined
therein was a negro named Jas. Hiter,
aged about fourteen. He set fire to the
jail and escaped. The building was
comparatively new and cost $5,000. In
sured in Richmond for 82,500.
The commission and shipping firm of
Ray & McLaury, of Chicago, who fail
ed on the recent heavy decline in grain
have paid their liabilities in full and re
sumed business.
Judge William B. Woods, the newly
appointed associate justice of the Unit

Washington night before last and yes
terday subscribed to the usual oaths of
