CONGRESS PROCEEDINGS OF SATURDAY.
The SENATE did not sit this day.
The HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES were en-.
gagged the principal part Of the day in the con-
sidefation Of resolutions offered, and bills Of
private or local nature. The following items,
are. all we have thought necessary to publish.
On motion Of Mr.. Peter, of Md it was
Resolved, That the Committee on that part Of
the Presidents message which relates to the
organization Of the Militia, be instructed to
inquire whether any, and if ANY, what, altera-
tons are necessary in the act for the organiza-
ton, arming, and equipping, the Militia OF the
| District Of Columbia
Mr. Cook, of Illinois, laid on the table the
following:
Resolved, That the Committee of the Whole

the consideration Of the several resolutions that
have been referred TO it, proposing to amend
the Constitution of the United States, and that
they, together with such other resolutions as
are lying on-the table, on the same subject, be

MIR. Newton, of Virginia, moved to strike out

to the United States, on said stock, shall be the

Canal had been made from actual subscriptions,

company, existed"
Mr.. Newton observed, that, if this feature
were stricken out, the present bill would resem-

companies on the same footing.
The question being taken, the motion was
agreed to without a division.
