Mr. Frelinghnysen presented tbe memorial of the Venezuela Steam Nav igation Company, composed of citizens of New York and New Jersey, com plaining of the seizure of their vessels by revolutionists, and asking the United States Government to procure redress. In presenting it be said that citizens of this country who had dealings with Venezuela had many grievances to complain of, which might yet necessi: tate severe measures on tue part of this Government. Mr. Sumner said that he had ex amined the subject in dispute, naturally hoping to find bin own country in the right, but he regretted to have to say that he had found her in the wrong. The petition referred to is from J. W. j Ilancox, President of tbe Venezuela Navigation Companv, and prays that a gunboat be sent to demand the release of the steamers and their officers and crews. The petition says that in the year 1869 the Venezuelan Government passed an act opening the navigation of its rivers to foreigners with power to sail under their national flag and tiiat during that year the company dispatched three vessels from the United States, but on tbe 12th of October, General llernandes, chief of the revolutionary party, seized them and converted them into war vessels. The petitiorer took proofs of the capture of these vessel* and the imprisonment of their officers and forwarded them to the State De partment. Not only the release of the vessels but indemnity for damages sus tained is demanded. The petition was referred to the committee on Foreign Affairs. Mr. Buckingham preseuted a memor ial against woman suffrage, and said that more than 10,000 of the most refined and respectable women in the country have signified to Congress their unwillingness to have the responsibility of suffrage thrust upon them. This protest is said to contain many of the most respectable, influential and tal ented women of ten different States, over sixteen hundred of them living in Connecticut: and in looking over the list 1 find that I know many of them. They are not manly women, but are women of good sense, and their judg ment is entitled to consideration. They don t say anything about the abstract right of suffrage, but say that having already their full share of the burden and responsibility of life, they fear that others, more bold than they, may succeed in having imposed upon them other burdens and responsibilities unsuited to them, and, therefore, they at-k Congre^ to protect them from these dangers They say that the extension of suffrage to them will be adverse to the interest of the working women and that it will introduce fruitful element of dis cord into existing marriage relations, and that it will be fraught with danger to tbe general good order of the country. I svmpathise with them I see no possi ble" benefit which can arise by the ex tension of sutlrage to women, benefit to them or to the country. Mr. Conklin presented a petition of New York soldiers in the late war re counting the services of women in the war, asking Congress to make some provisiou for tbe acknowledgment of their heroic and charitable work. BII.LS INTRODUCED AND REFERRED. By Mr. Scott To promote the secur ing of^ efficient seamen for the navy of the United States; providing, that in addition to the present force ot the navv there shall be annually received into the service 300 boys between the ages of fifteen and seventeen to serve as ap prentices till the age of twenty-one, at such rates of pay as may be fixed bv the President of the United States, and at the end of that time be entitled to ex amination for promotion to the grade of seamen. Said seamen, however, not to be in addition to the whole number of seamen at any time allowed bv law. By Mr. Patterson To regulate the admission of pupils fiotn all parts of the United States into the Columbia Institute for the Deaf and Dumb. By Mr. llarlan For the relief of certain settlers on the public lands in Iowa under the homestead law. By Mr. Pomeroy Granting lands to aid in the reclaimation of desert launs in Utah; also, to incorporate the Bear River and Cache Valley Canal Company with a grant of land in Utah and Idaho. By Mr. Kellogg Imposing tonnage duties and for other purposes: providing a duty of thirty cents per ton in lieu of all tonnage duties now imposed, and providing for the collection of any taxes or duties on tonnage or cargo by the several States, except wharfage and dockage. Mr. Trumbull asked Mr. Sherman, as Chairman of the committee on I Finauce, when the committee intended to report the House bill regulating the duties on coal and salt. Mr. Sherman said the committee was ready to rejort the bill with an amendment, but regarding the internal and export taxes as parts of one great 1 system. They thought it unadvisable I to take up the tariff question separately from the question of toll taxation, and, therefore, thev were waiting for the j House to develop somewhat further the course it intended to pursue on the question of taxation. Mr. Trumbull Then I give notice 1 that to-morrow I will move to discharge the committee on Finance from further consideration of the House bill repeal J ing duly on coal and salt. On motion of Mr. Wilson, the Senate I took up the House bill to equalize the pay of working men under the eight hour law. Mr. Trumbull's amendmeut repealing the law was also referred. Mr. Trumbull said that no one could be more in favor of rewarding and i elevating labor than he, but this law had never had any such effect. It had done the workingmen no good whatever, but on the contrary it bad done great harm by exciting unpleasant feelings between'those who are employed by the Government and working only eight hours and those who are outside and working ten hours. He thought that it wou'd be better for theworkingmen and for the country to repeal tbe law. Mr. Morrill, of Vermont, also favored the repeal of the law. It was prepos teroua to enact such a law in the first place and it was degrading to the work inzmen. Mr. Wilson asked Mr. Trumbull to withdraw his amendment, bo as not to embarrass the original bill. Mr. Trumbull withdrew his amend ment. Mr. Ferry, of Connecticut, renewed, lie said he could not vote for the House bill, because it would give to the eight hour law a legislative construction con trary to that intended by theframers of the law and erroneous in itself. He mentioned that when the eight hour law was under discussion the advocates of it directly 6tated that it was not des ignated to secure men ten hours pay for eight hours work. The House bill granting all Govern ment employes full days' pay for eight hours work was, with the amendments offered by Mr. Ferry and others, refer red to the Finance committee. Mr. Kellogg introduced a resolution to inquire into the expediency of paying a premium per ton on all American built iron steamships, and to establish an iron ship building yard in the Mis sissippi Valley. Mr. Anthony's resolution for a stand ing committee to investigate all charges of abuse preferred against any Depart ment of the Government, was then taken up and, after being discussed nearly an hour, was finally passed. Trumbull's amendment, providing for a joint committee on Retrenchment, was rejected. The following Republicans voted in its favor Messrs. Alcorn, Fenton, Pat terson, Robertson, Schurz, Logan, Sumner, Tipton, Trumbull, West and Wilson. The debate on the resolution was very bitter and personal at times. Mr. Tipton said that the Administra tion was festering in corruption. His speech was the most violent of the day. Messrs. Schurz, Trumbull, Morton and Sherman participated in the de bate. Doubts were expressed as to the Republicanism of Trumbull and Schurz, who accused other Senators with at tempting to stifle investigation. Mr. Trumbull renewed his amend ment as an independent proposition, but, without action upon it in that shape, the Senate, alter the executive session, adjourned until Monday. norsE. Mr. Burchard oflVred a resolution calling on the Secretary of the Treasury for information as to the number of persons employed and the total com pensation paid therefor, in the col lection of the customs for the fiscal year ending on the 30th of June, 1 87 1 ?n the United States, and in the districts of New York, Boston, Philadelphia, New Orleans, Baltimore and San Francisco; the amount of ad ditional compensation paid to such em ployes as fees, moieties, traveling and contingent expeuses; also the total amount paid in the same time in the United States for the collection of cus toms, and the erection, repairs, comple tion and furnishing of custom houses. Adopted. The House then went into com mittee ot the Whole, Mr. Buffington in the chair, an J resumed the consideration of the apportionment bill. Mr. Stevenson moved to amend Mr. Butler's proviso which fixes the second Tuesday of November of each alternate year for Congressional elections so that it shall not apply to Maine in 1870. Adopted. Amendments were further adopted adding Pennsylvania, Vermont, Con necticut, Iowa and Uhio, unless their election day be sooner changed by an amendment of their respective constitu tion. Mr. Butler's proviso, as amended, was then rejected. Substitutes were oilered by Mr. Murcur, of Pennsylvania, and Mr. Bright, of Kentucky, on which a debate proceeded. Mr. Bright's substitute was finally rejected and Mr. Murcur's substitute was amended so as to provide that Con gressional elections be held in all the ?States in November, 1874, and thereaf ter, except Maine and Indiana, also fix ing the total number of Representatives i at 283. Mr. Fotter submitted an amendment j providing that hereafter no State be admitted iijto the Union which does 1 not contain enough population to en title it to at least one Representative. Adopted. The committee then roseand reported the bill and amendments to the House. Mr. Niblack moved to lay the bill on the table. Negatived. Ayes, 60; noes 145. The bill then passed. It provides for 283 members and that Congressional elections be held on the same day in all the States alter Novem I ber, 1870. At 4:15 the House adjourned. T11E RIVER. Charleston, W.

Tbe Orneva Conference. Tte Heralds Washington special to-day says: It is generally understood in the highefct circles that the Geneva Conference will be a failure. With the exception of Mr. AJams all the arbi trators are opposed to republican insti" tutions. It is whispered about that Spain is interesting herself in the re sults of the Conference, and that Great Britain will use the escape of the Hor net and other vessels from American ports to assist the Cuban insurgents, as an argument against allowing any dam ages for the depredations of the Ala bama. The whole subject will prob ably come up in the House when the resolution for an appropriation for the Geneva Conference is presented. Committed for Eubtiilins. David Prangle, agent of Thomas Holloway Co., wholesale druggists, was committed in the Jefferson Market Police Court, yesterday, in default of ten thousand dollars bail on the charge of embezzling fifty thousand dollars' worth of gooJs belonging to his em ployers.

The Police Board will meet late this atternoon to settle the question of the Internationals' parade. The committee which went to Albany to see Governor Hoffman on the subject, returned this morning and are awaiting tht Gov ernor's answer by telegraph. As a majority of the Police Board are op posed to the parade, it is improbable that it will be allowed, as the Governor will probally defer to the wish of the Board. A Meeting of Depositor* of the Ocean National Bank was called for noon to-day, and was largely attend-' ed. A committee of five was appointed by the depositors to examine the secur ities and condition of the batik and report. The Police Commissioners, up to a late hour this afternoon, bad received no communication from the Governor in regard to the proposed Communist parade.

The meeting of the Board of Police Commissioners this afternoon discussed the revocation of the order prohibiting the International parade by the Gov ernor. Resolutions were passed rescind ing the order prohibiting the parade by the Commissioners, and directing the Superintendent to take all necessary steps to prevent any breach of peace and protect the public from disorder and violence. Mayor Hall proposed a resolanOn that the Board of Police Commissioners memorialize the Legis lature for the passage of an act regu lating processions and submitted a draft of such act to be presented at Albany. The proposition was laid on the table. WASHIXGTO.Y. Nomination*. Washihgton, December 14. The President to-day sent to the Senate the name of II.

Ela, of New Hamp shire, Fifth Auditor of the Treasury; Benjamin J. Sweet, of Illinois, to be First Deputy Commissioner of Internal Revenue. Akermau n Failure. Many gentlemen in public positions complained that Mr. Akerman did not answer the purpose in his high position, and hence his resignation. This opinion wrb shared by officers con nected with tiie Executive Department of the Government. The precise cir cumstances attending; the charge have not vet transpired, but the appointment of Williams affords general satisfac tion. A draft for $1512 has been received at the Treasury Department from un known parties for duties, in currency, payable at the port of New York. The House committee on Commerce this morning gave a hearing to the delegation of eteamboat men, who pro tested against the rulrs and regulations recently adopted by the Board of Super vising Inspectors ar.d approved by Secretary Boutwell.- They represent that their rules were oppressive, and asked that tfre committee will take such action as will tend to the amendment of the steamboat law.

The latter has agreed to report bac k a bill with an amendment reducing the appropriation from five to four millions of dollars, for the erec tion of buildings in Chicago for all general government purposes, this amount to cover all expenses.
