The rmorlon in tho house aftr the strain to which the inemtwrs have bw-n subjected In at tendance upon the eiuuiidnrtion of the tariff bill, wu noticeable in a decreased attendance. The river and harbor Fill waa taken np without any ceremony, ul though there wan a tory abroad that thii luwianro would be held off to con tinne the presence of those interested in order to transact the buinuas of the house with Quorum. Mr. Hrnderaon, of Illinois, explained the provisions of the bill and other members followed in argument for ita pasaaire, imi aa me donate proc-emieu there was a thinning out ou the IliHir that compelled those who remained to rmni-n into a ainaii latniiy garnering, whose conversation waa not audible in the galleries.

Xover a Oreitter Uamand. There haa never been a greater de mand for appropriations, but notwith standing the fart that no river and lr bor bill was passed for the IWnl year ending June 30, Ihihi, Hiid many iniK.r tant works were hiipended for want of money, yet the committee did not deem it advisable to recommend for jMuuwije of a bill which would he regarded aa excessive in the amount appropriated. The MUnUaJppl. The largest appropriation in the bill is for the Mississippi river, for which the sum of :.Vf2,iKi has lieen recommend ed. While this sum eems large, yet the river is a wonderful river, watennir one of the richest and iwwt. productive val leys in the world, and the entire coun try is interested In ita improvement; and certainly the ten states which bor der on its bank have a deep interest in iU improvement. Thm Missouri, For the Missouri river the committee have recommended an appropriation of 900,000, with a view of beginning a thorough and systematic improvement of the river, commencing at the mouth; and have made no reonuimendatioiiK for any, localities on the river, leaving it, however, to the discretion of the ecre tary of war to apply such portion of the amount appropriated in the protection of harbors and localities on the river as he may deem advisable. In the river and harbor bill of August, 1fiS8, 11,000,000 waa appropriated for this river, f 775,000 of which were ex pended at various localities ou the river, and only $2 M.000 were left for the gen eral improvement of the river. This tho Missouri river comuiisMon seem to have regarded, and very justly, as an aban donment of the improvement of the river, and the committee commends what the commission say upon this sub ject to the house, adding if the Missouri river is to be improved it it time that a thorough and systematic course of im provement was commenced. Illinois anal Mississippi Ship Canal. The committee have recommended an appropriation of toOO.OOO fori lie purswe of commencing the construction of the Illinois and Misnissiiipi canal, to connect the upiier Mississippi river with tho hike system of navigation. and thus give to the northwest and to the east a continuous water line oi trans- Sirtatlon from the head waters of the ississippi river to the Atlantic sea board at the citv of New York, Oood Krsults. The committee's reisirt conclnded aa follows: "The retains received from all over the country and especially from memlwrs of the house, show very grati fying results from the improvements which are being curried on throughout the country. There is not only a large increase of commerce on the improved rivers and water ways, but a great re duution of freight rates hare followed their improvement; and your committee feel confident, after a long and patient investigation of the subject, that there is no money exiended by the government which is so much in the interest of the neoule aa that exiiended in the improve ment of the water ways of the country." ZACHARY TAYLOR. Oblo Veterans of tUm Msxlcan War Tblnk Ha Unserves a Monument. Wakhinuton, May ii. The Ohio veterans of the Mexican war are ag grieved over the fact that no statue has been erected in this citv in memory of their gallant leader, Zachary Taylor. Senator oorhees has presented a memorial from those veterans which is worded as follows: The Ohio veterans of the Mexican war, on this, the fourty-fonrth annivers ary of the victories achieved liv .senary Taylor on the fields of I'alo Alto and Kesaca de la i'alma. have learned with sorrow and regret, that while the National capital is everywhere orna mented with splendid monuments to military hen-, one may look in vain for a cenotaph for Zachary Taylor, than whom our republic has produced no braver or more skillful cencrnl." "Therefore, this ns-vuiion. at its largest reunion, respect I'.illy ask con gress to do justice to the memory of Zachary Taylor and to his surviving omrades in anus, by causing to lie erected a monument worthy of Ins great deeds and of the glory of Die republic." The memorial is signed bv the nresi- deuta aud secretaries of the State Ax- iation of the Ohio Vetarans of the Mexican War aud the National associa tion respectively.

It should be a thing held saorad, and to deface, disftgnre or pros titute it to the puriinses of advertising should be held to be a crime against the nation, and lie punished as such.

SUBSTITUTE FOR THE TARIFF BILL. By Suoh Action the Senate Plnanea Com mittee Hopes to Ksrllllata Matters. Washisoths. May -.'J. It is the pres ent intention of members of the senate liniince committee to rejsirt a substitute for the McKiuley taritf 1411 when their consideration of that uieusuro shall have lieen completed. This course is deemed to be better than to reisirt the bill as it came from the house with amendments. Fur, when it ),'.. into conference, there will be but one question to settle instead of a myriad of ililicrencea on points in detail. This was the course pursued with the tariff bill of ls:, and it was found to result in ti saving of time. The finance committee will endeavor to maintain its deteriiiiuaiion not to give oral hearings to any interested parties; but it was reported to-day that iiuTt ers of several cities to the nuiuls-rof i.000 will come to Washington next week demanding to U- heard. If any such uumlier, or even a smaller one, appears in a Is sly it is probable that the com mittee will open it disirs to the rupre-elitutive.
