A resolution was agreed to. on motion of
Mr. Peter, referring it to the Committee on
the Library, to consider the cXpediency OF

for public sale.
In the Senate, on Saturday, the report
and resolution from the Select Committee on
French spoliations prior to the year 1900,
was taken up, and postponed to Tuesday,
and made the order of the day for that day.
The colonial trade bill was resumed, the
motion o. Mr.. Smith of Maryland, to strike
out the whole bill after the enacting clause,
and to substitute other bills still pending.
The discussion was continded with great
animation, by Messrs. Smith of Md, Berrien

others. Mr. Smiths melton was tl,en car

| in reply, when the Speaker put an end to
the discussion. The bills which had passed
through committee on the preceding day
were then read a third time and passed
The House then went into Committee OF
the whole on the bill for the preservation
and repair Of the Cumberland road. As
this bill was reported, it contained provis-
ion regulating the tolls, and appropriatine
Al, GOO dollars for the repair and preservation
OF the road. Mr.. Barney moved a Substitute
for this bill, which ,nerely appropriated
10000 dollars for the repair of the road; ant
left the disputed question as to the power o
Congress to erect toll gates, and collect toll:
in the states, until next session. This wa!
adopted in committee, but in the House the
appropriation was reduced to $4,000 dollars
The substitute was supported by all th'
friends OF che bill, and by some who wcrt
opposed to the erection of toll gates; ant
there IS no doubt that this compromise, b,
preventing a long discussion of constitution
