IN SENATE.

yesterday, after the Senate had con-
eluded the consideration of Executive
business
Mr.. R. NJ johnson, Of Kentucky,
rose and stated that official duties had
obliged him to transact some business
at the public Offices, and he was very
much surprised to find that the bill
granting to George Shannon q section
of land. had been taken up in his absence
and indefinitely postponed, contrary to
the usual course and courtesy of this DO.
dy, without giving an opportunity to the
member who introduced the proposition
to vind;cate its merits. He had been
charged with the memorial of MIR. Shan
non, who was distinguished citizen of
Kentucky, who had performed distin-
guished services to his country, and now
asked for just reward for the personal
sacrifices which he had made, and the
sufferings which he had endured for his
country. Mr.. j. said that Mr. Shannon
had served the respectable county of Fa
yette several years in the Legislature of
Keatucky-that, for his age, he was y
promising and distinguished individu-
al, and he could not reconcile it to his
feelings that the bill for his relief should
be disposed of while he had been attend
ing to official duties elsewhere-that
Mr.. Shannon was high minded honor
able man, and had been urged. by his
friends to present to the national legisla
ture his just claims for confederation
that independent of his sacrifices and
sufferings, his liberal disposition, and
patriotic devotion to his country, had
kept him in INDECENT circumstances with
large growing family to provide for.
MIR. Johnson hoped. under these circum-
stances, that the Senate would reconsi-
der the question, and place it in statu
quo, that he might. on proper occasion,
present his views to the Senate.
The vote was taken on re considers
ton, and carried, and the bill was then
laid upon the tablet
Several bills were read a second time
and referred to committees.

gia authorizing like imposition in the
ports of Savannah and St. Mary's; and
after undergoing some amendment,
The bill was ordered to be engross-
ed and read third time.
The engrossed bills for the relief Of
Holden w. Prout, and for the relief of
Andrew Mitchell, were severally read
a third time, passed, and sent to the o.
Their Hosse for concurrence.
The Senate again went into the con-
sideration of Executive business, and go
continued until past 5 o'clock; and
Adjourned till Monday.
