11 is said thai seven olber Eepnbli
cans three from the south, one from
New England and three from the west
will vote "no.' It is known that Mime of
these arc opposed to the bill, but
whether or not they will sacrifice the
party interest and vote against the
metibtire is doubtful. Less than
tfii breaks among the Republicans
in Use house would defeat the bill.

The senate passed the house bill in
relation to oaths in pension and other

for the admission of Idaho. After the
bill had been read, Merrill gave
notice that he would, at the earliest
possible moment, move io take up the

Piatt said that much as ho believed
in the tariff bill, aud anxious as he
was to have it passed, he could not
consent to allow it to interfere with
the Idaho bill. Mr. Gorham asked
when the tariff bill would be likely to
come up. Merrill said that it was not
his purpose to interfere with the ap
propriations bills, or conference re
ports, but he reported that at as early
a moment as possible, the tariff bill
would be called up. Teller said that

Mxty days ago for S30 an acre, and
now yon have bought a few Tcct of it

TREASURES OF TIIE SEA.
Fabulous Wealth Sunk to the Bottom
the Ocean in Shipwrecks.
of
There wero heaps of gold carried in
galleons and like packets years ago.
In 1769, say3 the Baltimore" News, a
ship of war from Ilio to Lisbon had
on board 9,000,000 of crusades m
diamonds, and about 100,000 ''crown
turnois" in piasters, making in the
whole 29,050,000 livres turnois. So
ranch for a single ship.
In 177i Spanish ship3 from Vera
Cruz and Havana arrived with
22,000,000 crowns, exclusive of mer
chandise valued roundly at 25,000,000
crowns. Such examples could be
multiplied. Of the cargo of an En
glish Indiaman in 1771 one item alone
a diamond in therongh was valued
at 100,000.
As a costly shipwreck La Lulino
deserves notice. She was of 32 guns,
commanded by Capt Skynner, and
wont ashore on tho bank of the Fly
Island passage tho night ot October 5),
loU9. At first she was reputed to
have had 600,000 sterling in specie
on board. This was afterward con
tradicted by a statement that tho
wholo amounted to about 110,000
sterling.
Tn mom modern rimea tho costli
ness of ship wreck is to uo toxvnA n
the destruction of the fabric " aiul its
cargo rather than in the easuro on
board.
Tho Royal Charier is the most
notable modern instance of the wreck
of a "treasurer" ship. It left Aus
tralia with 350,000 in it. Of this
sum, says Charles Dickens in his
capteron this dreadful shipwreck in
in the "Uncommercial Traveler,"
300,000 worth was recovered at the
time of the novelist's visit to tno spot
where it had been driven ashore.
