Hoar moved to suspend the rules and take up and pass the resolution of the Louisiana Select Committee recognizing the Kellogg government, and recommending that the House take measures to reassemble the members of the Louisiana Legislature. House rejected to suspend the rules; year, 124; hays, 85. Hoar moved to suspend the rules so as to divide the resolution and take a separate vote on each. Carried—172 to 85. The part of the resolution with regard to rescaling the members was then agreed to without division, and the part of the resolution sustaining Kellogg adopted—162 to 80. Pierce, of Massachusetts, Sener and Smith of Virginia, were the only Republicans voting in the negative. Senate on the Committee on Appropriations reported the Deficiency Bill appropriating $1,800,000. Ordered printed. The Senate amendments to the Army Appropriation Bill were non-concurred in, and sent to a Conference Committee. A conference report on the Military Academy Appropriation Bill was presented and agreed to. Senate amendments to the Indian Appropriation Bill were presented, eighty-six in number, and they were voted on seriatim. The first, which provoked a discussion, was one appropriating $15,000 for expenses of the Indian Peace Commissioners serving without pay. It was finally concurred in—144 to 75. All the other amendments were agreed to, and the bill sent to a Conference Committee. The House then went into Committee of the Whole on the Sundry Civil Appropriation Bill, pending question being on Burler's amendment appropriating $6,000 for prosecution of the claim of the United States to the New Idria (Cal.) Mining Company's lands, a sharp debate ensuing. Page opposed the amendment. The company did not dispute the title of the United States. The question was put on the adoption of the amendment, 100 in the affirmative and 66 in the negative. So the amendment was adopted. The House went into Committee of the Whole on the Sundry Civil Appropriation Bill. A sharp debate occurred on the item of support of the Insane Asylum of the District of Columbia, and of insane soldiers and sailors who had become insane from causes arising during their service or within three years after leaving the service. A motion was made to admit all who have become insane since entering the service, and, after debate, was agreed to. A long and noisy discussion occurred over the item appropriating $75,000 for raising heavy guns, and allowing the expenditure for the same purposes of another $100,000 out of former appropriations. The last portion of the item was struck out. A discussion also occurred over the item of $388,000 for expenses of the Signal Service; Waddell of N.C. moving to increase the amount $30,000 for the extension of the service to the Atlantic Coast. Garfield, called attention to the increasing cost of this service, which, beginning with an appropriation of $290,000 per year, leaving all points of order in force and providing that no bill be passed except by unanimous consent, or under a two-thirds vote. After disposing of several bills the Colorado bill was reached by a vote of 164 to 64 passed, and now goes to the President for approval. The bill for the admission of New Mexico was then taken up and the vote stood, yeas 154, nays 87. Not being the necessary two-thirds in the affirmative, the bill failed. For the last hour of the session there was little done except the passage of the resolution making some especial allowance to clerks and employees, and the usual resolution of thanks to clerks, Sergeant-at-Arms, etc. At twelve o'clock the Speaker's gavel fell, and he took farewell of the House in a short address, after which the great crowd dispersed, and the members bade each other good-bye. Senate. The Senate resumed consideration of the Tax and Tariff Bill. Sherman opposed the bill. During his speech he said he did not believe the increased tax on whiskey would yield any more revenue to the Government, but would give a bounty to holders of whiskey the very moment this bill passed. The distillation of whiskey would be stopped until the price reached $1.15 per gallon. After further debate, Johnston's amendment providing that the increased tobacco tax shall only apply to tobacco manufactured after the passage of the Act, was agreed to, 28 to 26. Sargent moved an amendment striking out the first and second sections, imposing a tax of ten cents per pound on coffee. McCreery moved to lay the bill and pending amendment on the table. Lost—28 to 28. Sargent's amendment was rejected—yes 6, nays 25; Conover, Jones, Sargent, Sherman, Spencer, and Stewart voting in the affirmative. Sohurz moved an amendment to the fifth section of the bill, so that the increase of duties shall not apply to goods actually on shipboard on or before the 4th of March, 1875, instead of the 11th of February. Rejected. Alcorn moved an amendment providing that all corporations working mines of gold or silver; unpatented, on the public domain; producing over $1,000,000 yearly; shall pay a tax of five per cent; on their net earnings. Thurman opposed the amendment. He said every ounce of gold and silver was the produce of labor; and it would be just as fair to tax wheat and corn. Rejected without division. The Senate then proceeded with the bill to equalize bounties. Logan explained the bill. He believed it would not require over $90,700; the amount of bounty paid by States and the amount paid by the Government were to be deducted. Edmunds moved an amendment authorizing the Secretary of Treasury to borrow money to carry the Act into effect whenever there is not money enough in the Treasury for the purpose; also authorizing him, for the purpose of borrowing money, to issue and sell any kind of bonds described in the Act of July 11, 1870. Morton favored the amendment, and it was agreed to—11 to 12. The bill was then reported to the Senate, the amendments agreed to in Committee of the Whole, agreed to, and a SAN FRANK Since our last meeting with lightning glare as it does, their labora in its effect on this grain in this mine buyers more than it is vital to shipment last were greater same month in thus far exported and flour with all harvest yearnings.

The last portion of the item was struck out. A discussion also occurred over the item of $385,000 for expenses of the Signal Service; Waddell of N.C. moving to increase the amount $30,000 for the extension of the service to the Atlantic Coast. Garfield, called attention to the increasing cost of this service, which beginning with an appropriation of $250,000, now amounted to $395,000; and this did not include one-half the cost of the system, as the pay and subsistence of the Signal Service Corps came out of the army appropriation. If it went off increasing, its cost next year would be a million dollars. Butler of Massachusetts praised the work of the Bureau and advocated the amendment, which was adopted. On motion of Kullogg, the bill recently passed by the House for the reorganization of the Treasury Department was inserted as an additional section. The section appropriating $50,000 for the various executive departments to participate in the Centennial Exhibition was felt in the bill. Soon after two o'clock a vote was taken on the item of $200,000 for engraving and printing the national currency, and other securities shall be executed with not less than three plate printings, one or two of which the Secretary may have executed by bank note companies. On motion Maynard, and after discussion, a provision was added to the item for printing national currency, requiring the printing of national bank notes on special paper, the same as United States notes. All the amendments were agreed to except the one appropriating $20,000 for information to detain fraudulent claims against the Government. Consideration of the Arkansas question was resumed, and Poland, chairman of the Select Committee, spoke in favor of the majority report, recommending that the present State Government be not interfered with. After further debate a vote was taken first on the substitute offered by Ward of Illinois, declaring Brooks the legal Governor, which was rejected—yes, 79; nays, 152; and the majority report was then adopted—149 to 80. E.R. Hour, from the Select Committee on breach of privilege of the House in the arrest of Whitelaw Reid while a witness before the Committee of Ways and Means, reported a bill to protect witnesses in such cases from arrest on civil process. Passed. Garfield moved to non-concur in the amendment to the Appropriation Bill providing for free transmission of documents printed during this session of Congress. Lost—yes, nays, 113. The next important amendment, on allowing free passage through the mails of seeds from the Commissioner of Agriculture and Reports of the Department, was concurred in—159 to 93. Kassam moved to suspend the rules and adopt the resolutions reported by the Committee of Investigation of the Pacific Mail Bureau. Agreed to—120 to 17. The resolution of the Committee of Elections declaring Pinchback not elected a member from Louisiana State at large and George A. Sheridan elected, was called up and agreed to—125 to 29—and Sheridan was sworn, and took his seat having barely fifteen hours to move. Robinson called up the resolution in the case of Syphax, sitting member from Louisiana, declaring that he is not entitled to his seat, and that Lawrence is so entitled. After debate the resolutions were adopted—134 to 87—and Lawrence appeared and took the froneload oath and his seal. The House man then took up the bill to equalize bounties, non-concurred in the Senate amendments, and asked for a Committee of Conference. Wheeler presented a conference report on the Army Appropriation Bill which was agreed to without discussion or explanation. Townsend from the Conference Committee The Senate then proceeded with the bill to equalize bounties. Logan explained the bill. He believed it would not require over $30,700,000; the amount of bounty paid by States and the amount paid by the Government were to be deducted. Edmunds moved an amendment authorizing the secretary of the Treasury to borrow money to carry the Act into effect whenever there is not money enough in the Treasury for the purpose; also authorizing him, for the purpose of borrowing money, to issue and sell any kind of bonds described in the Act of July 11, 1870. Morton favored the amendment, and it was agreed to—11 to 13. The bill was then reported to the Senate, the amendments agreed to in Committee of the Whole, agreed to, and a vote taken on the passage of the bill, resulting in a tie—year 29, nays 59. The Vice-President voted yes, and the bill passed. Cameron, from the Committee on Foreign Affairs, reported unfavorably on Senate resolution recognizing the independence of Cuba, and the committee were discharged from its further consideration. The consideration of the Sundry Civil Appropriation Bill was resumed. The Committee reported an amendment repealing so much of the bill for the year ending June 30, 1871, as requires payment by the Northern Pacific Railroad Company of the cost of surveying and conveying lands granted to said company; but the Senate refused to concur in the amendment. An amendment striking out the appropriation of $150,000 for the purchase of the Stevens battery, was agreed to. The Committee-withdrew the amendment reducing the appropriation for public buildings in Chicago, Cincinnati, Philadelphia and St. Louis. Numerous amendments were offered, mostly of a local character, some of which were agreed to others rejected. An amendment of the committee, providing that an appropriation of $475,000 for the introduction of shad into the waters of the Pacific States, Gulf States, and Mississippi Valley, and of salmon, whitenish, and other useful food fishes into the waters of the United States should become available immediately, was agreed to, as was also an amendment making the appropriation for League Island Navy Yard available from and after the passage of this Act. An amendment by Bayard fixing the maximum compensation for each Surveyor of Customs at $6,000 per year, was agreed to. The bill having been considered in Committee of the Whole, was reported to the Senate, and allthe amendments not reserved were concurred in. The only reserved amendment non-concurred in was that requiring all printing of notes, currency, and bonds of the United States be done within the District of Columbia. Bayard moved to reduce the appropriation for the Department of Justice from $300,000 to $250,000. Rejected—yeas 17, nays 28. The bill was then read a third time and passed. Sargent called up the House bill supplemental to acts in relation to immigration, which passed House and was reported tothe Senate without amendment bythe Committee on Foreign Affairs.Passed. Chandler called up River and Harbor Appropriation Bill reported bythe Committee on Commerce without amendment.Amendments were offered and agreed to,the increasing appropriations for improvementsof Fox Wisconsin Ohio Great Kanawa,and Tennessee rivers.to an aggregate amountof $1864444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444 Holman called up the resolution in the case of Sypher, sitting member from Louisiana, declaring that he is not entitled to his seat, and that Lawrence is so entitled. After debated the resolutions were adopted—131 to 87—and Lawrence appeared and took the frontclad oath and his seat. The House men then took up the bill to equalize bounties, non-concurred in the Senate amendments, and asked for a Committee of Conference. Wheeler presented a conference report on the Army Appropriation Bill which was agreed to without discussion or explanation. Townsend from the Conference Committee on the bill for incorporation and regulation of railroad companies in Territories, giving to railroads the right of way through public lands, made a report, the principal point in which was the striking out of the provision giving States that may hereafter be organized out of such Territories, control over charges for transportation, the same as if such right of way had been originally granted by them. In the midst of great noise and confusion proceeding from the impassioned pressure of business, Wilson of Iowa, who was opposed to the conference report, declared as a point of order that the House did not know what it was doing, to which assertion the Speaker pro tem, asserted, and ruled the point well taken. Holman exclaimed that a fraud was being perpetrated on the House. Towsand declared the allegation false. Holman disclaimed against charging him with fraud but Wilson of Iowa declared that there was no question but a fraud was being perpetrated on the country, if not on the House. Holman again attempted to speak, but his voice was drawn in reelection "Vote," wrote, etc., and the conference report was adopted without the year and nays, which were demanded but refused. The House again went into Committee of Lake Pointe on the Deficiency Bill. On motion of Bullen of Massachusetts an item of $250,000 for clothing of scanners was adopted. Finally the bill was finished and the committee rose. Garrard moved to suspend the rules and pass the bill as amended by the Committee of the Whole. Holman and Speer wanted separate votes and amendments, which could not be had under the motion; but the motion was agreed to and the bill passed. Mills being in the Chair, Poller of New York moved and Beck of Kentucky seconded a resolution of thanks to Speaker Blaine, for his impartiality, efficiency, and distinguished ability with which he has discharged the duties of his office during the Forty-third Congress. Adopted unanimously. Holman moved to suspend the rules and pass the bills providing for the admission of Colorado and New Mexico. Rejected—yes, 149 nays, almost two-thirds in the affirmative; almost a party vote. The House third on motion of K. H. Holder, went to business on the speaker's table. Amendments were ordered and agreed to, increasing the appropriations for improvements of Fox, Wisconsin, Ohio, Great Kanawha, and Tennessee rivers, to an aggregate amount of $110,000. Weasl from the Committee on Transportation submitted, as an amendment the Lakes Bill for improvement of the Southwest Pass of the Mississippi river. Agreed to. The appropriation for the improvement of Cape Fear river was increased to $100,000. The Deficiency Appropriation Bill was received from the House, read a second time and referred to the Committee on Appropriations. Alcorn submitted an amendment appropriating $320,000 for repairing the levee on the Mississippi river in the State of Missouri, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Agreed to—all to all. An amendment from the Committee on Transportation, authorizing a survey for the Hennepin Canal, was agreed to. Various amendments making appropriations for the improvement of rivers and harbors in different parts of the country were adopted. Logan characterized the manner in which the bill had been amended, as absurd and ridiculous, and said that evidently the Senate had not the interest of the country at heart, or were determined to deflect the bill. Wright moved to table the bill and amendments. Rejected—yes, 19 nays, 29. The bill was then reported to the Senate, and the question being on the amendment made in committee with regard to the Hennepin Canal, the amendment was agreed to—25 to 17. The Mississippi Levee appropriation was rejected—yes, 33; nays, 24. Eade's Bill, as an amendment for the improvement of the mouth of the Mississippi, was agreed to—40 to 16.

Hitchcock, of Nebraska, called up the House bill to provide for the construction of a military wagon road in Arizona. Passed. Bayard, of Delaware, submitted a resolution of thanks to The Hon. Henry Wilson for its partial and courteous manner in which he had presided. Agreed to. The Chale (Ingalls) said before the Senate a number of bills just signed by the Vice President, who accepted a seat at the Clerk's table, signing bills. As she list was read, it was found that there was among them the House bill for equalization of bounties. Hamilton of Indiana said he would like to know what about that bill. Bogus—it has been signed by the Vice President and the Speaker of the House. The Chale (Ingalls) said the bill had been signed by the Vice President and the Speaker. Morrill of Vermont—I raise a question of order. The bill having been submitted to a Conference Committee, and the report of that committee having been laid on the table by the Senate, the Vice President could not legally sign the bill. The Chale said he could not entertain a question of order on a bill not before the Senate. Davis said he entered his protest against the signing of this bill. The committee appointed to wait on the President reported, and Vice President Wilson declared the Senate adjourned six days. SAN FRANCISCO MARKET. Since our last review the State has been visited with light showers of rain almost daily, making glare the hearts of our farmers, assuring, as it does, the prospect of a reward for all their labor in abundant harvests this year. Its effect on the market is to cause holders of grain in the interior to office a desire to meet the buyers more nearly on their own forms and there has in consequence more activity to the market. The receipts of grain for shipment during the month of February last were greater than at any time during the same month in any previous year. We have thus far exported over 400,000 tons of wheat and flour, with every prospect of completing the harvest year with a total of at least 600,000 tons. Wheat is in good demand and firm at our quotations. Flour is very low with considerable movement at a slight falling off from previous rates. Barley is in freer ectip, and with a falling off in demand prices have declined. Oats are weak at our quotations, Oregon has commenced sending supplies forward. Corn is weak at our quotations, with fair supplies and lessened demand. Buckwheat is quiet at nominal prices. Bye is in light demand and prices are a shade lower than last quoted. Potatoes are in more liberal supply and prices are unchanged; new have made their appearance in the market. Onions are in demand and prices advanced. Hops are in light supply and prices rule high. Wool is in excessive stock, with little movement, even at the very low prices quoted, the bulk of the stock remaining on hand being earthy, burry, and undesirable for export. WHEAT.-For reasons stated in our opening remarks, the receipts have been very large late; and although rates are exceedingly low yet on account of the low rates of freight, transactions are large. The best cargo parcels now command $160 etl. Transaction for the week, so far as make public, embrace the following: 25,000 skis prime, for export private; 10,500 skis choice, $160; 12,500 skis for export; $1571; 5,500 skis; $152@155; 2,500 skis Inferior; $140@140@147; etl. The latter pool quotations of even date is for average, as 11dgs@11dgs@11dgs. FLOUR.-There is a fair demand, all the mills around the Bay being actively engaged and running full time, partly on orders for export and partly for home consumption. Prices are stationary for the finest grades—country brands of Superior are a shade lower. Receipts from Oregon within the week aggregate 1,080 bills—all in half and quarter skis. We note a sale of 20,000 bids Vallejo mills, private. The following are fair quotations for the different qualities in lots: superior country brands; $375@400; city mills, standard; $40@420; extra superline; $425@540; silk dressed $5@525. BARLEY.-Prices continue to recede from late high rates owing to a falling off in the demand for export overland and to free receipts coastwise. Sales within the week are reported as follows: 2,500 skis feed; $124@130; 2,500 skis Bay; $135; 1,500 skis Bay Brewing; $145@150 etl. OATS.-With free receipts from Oregon as The national GOLD MERAL was attended to Bradley & Co., San Francisco by the best Photographer in the United States.

W. H. Culver, President; Francis Smith, Vice-President; H. T. Graves, Secretary; Leonidas Pratt, Attorney. Centinela Colony. The Centinela Rancho, situated on the coast, in a westerly direction from Los Angeles and about three miles distant from the limits of that beautiful city, contains 25,000 acres of good, arable valley land, a large portion of which is choice bottom and well adapted to the cultivation of semi-tropical fruits. Near the highest elevation is a cluster of large springs, from which flows a stream of crystal water several feet wide and six or eight inches deep, which may be conducted to almost any portion of the rancho. On the adjoining ranches are strong flowing wells, and it is the opinion of Governor Downey, Mr. Garey and others, that artesian water can be readily secured on a large portion of the land purchased. The surveyor is laying out a town in a central position and about three miles from a well sheltered bay. The Los Angeles and Pacific Railroad Company has been incorporated to build a railroad from the landing, where a wharf will be built, running through Centinela to Los Angeles. There are orange, lemon and lime trees now loaded with fruit, 6,000 orange trees growing in the orchard, 7,000 three-year-old orange trees growing in the nursery, 1,500 Languedoc almond trees just commencing to bear, several hundred other fruit trees, and $50,000 worth of sheep and other personal property. The soil is first rate, water good, landing convenient, market good, and the land dog cheap. Centinela will sell well under the hammer. Here is a chance for those who are looking for homes. Over two hundred shares have already been subscribed for, and I presume all the stock will soon be taken. Persons anxious to join the colony should no time in making a personal examination of this property. These lands will be disposed of by the auctioneer, as at Lompoc, to the highest bidder, whether a member of the Association or not. The purchaser of homesteads will pay ten per cent of the purchase money on the day of sale, and ten per cent, semi-annually thereafter, with interest at ten per cent, per annum until the whole purchase price has been paid. Persons desiring homes on this beautiful rancho should secure stock equal to the value of the land desired, so that if high prices are obtained, as at Lompoc, the dividends on their stock can be applied to their final payments on their homesteads, and reduce the cost to or below the original purchase price by the company.
