MICHIGAN CITY HARBOR.
On motion by Mr. MAGEE his concurrent resolution, offered on Friday, requesting the Secretary of War to order such an appropriation expended as will secure a commodious and safe harbor in Michigan City, was read, with a Committee report recommending its passage.
Mr. SPANN spoke in favor of the resolution. The Secretary of War has been guilty of an arbitrary decision in withholding an appropriation for the only harbor in Indiana, as he understood the matter. The river and harbor bill of the last Congress was in some degree a steal, but this resolution should be adopted.
Mr. WHITE also favored the passage of this resolution. The people of his section of the State desired very much to see something done to improve that harbor.

The resolution was adopted.
