Patent Wafhlng Machine.

tTvHIS highly useful Machine is found by
experience to excel any hitherto IN
use. 1t will wash as many cloaths (by the
assistance Of one personl in an hour as can
b washed in a whole day, without the pos
sibility of injuring, fretting or tearing the
most delicate article, and with less than halt
the quantity of soap. 1t occupies very little
more space than the common wash-tub, and
with the least care will not create any slop or

TUESDAY, JUNE 81, 1909.

Mr.. Randolph, from the committee
appointed to enquire into the expen-
ditures of the public monies, &c. made
a report thereon. s So
(UThe report states that the in
formation obtained from the navy and
war departments was Of an unsatisfae-
tory nature that representation had
been made to those departments to this
effect that an exception was held out
to the committee that full Information
would be collected during the next ses-
sion Of Congress and that the report
was accompanied by such statements
as could be procured from tho several
departments W1
The report and documents were or
dcred to lie on the table and be printed.
The engrossed bill from the Senate
reviving and amending the Eon-Inter-
course law, was taken up and read.
Mr.. Pickman remarked, that he was
opposed to this bill. There was cer-
tainly great reason for making a dis
elimination between British andFrench
armed vessels. The attack on the
Chesapeake had beeA atoned for, and
the British orders in council rescinded.
Brance had done nothing. He ac-
knowledged, that if the order of April
should be continued in relation to A
merica after the arrangement with Mr..
Erskine reached England, he would
consider all her offers as mere meek
cry; but he could not believe this. lie
was opposed to the admission Of either
British or French armed vessels; but
when the question was brought before
him, whether those OF one Of the bel
ligerents should be excluded, he should
certainly be in favor of it. He never
could agree to admit the armed ships
ofnations having in force against us
hostile orders or DEGREES, into the wa
tiers under our jurisdiction.
MIR. Macon, was in favor Of leaving
cur affairs with England in the same
situation which they had been placed
by the President.
He sincerely wished that no charge
OF Partially might be brought again ),
us hereafter
Mr.. Taylor considered he faith OF
the nation'pledged to Great Britain to
resist the DEGREES of France, and to ex.
clude her armed vessels.
Mr.. Pithin thought this bill would
be most undignified course for this
nation to pursue. The history OF ma
tons did not afford an instance i'm
which the unarmed vessels of a coun.
try were excluded from port, into
Which Its armed vessels were permit.
ted to come. The second resolution
on the report efthe committee of for
eign relations, at the last session, had
pledged the government to pursue their
principles OF restriction and exclusion.
while the orders or DEGREES of either oil
the belllgerents should be continued in
force against us and the hou c were
now about to depart from these princi.
pies. AS to the exclusion OF the arm.
ed vessels OF one beliigerent, and the
admission of those of the other, being

knowledged it; and ~ was tie cycIn.
