the inhabitants of the State Of Pennsylvania in favor of

States and Territories of the-United States, to the coun-
try West OF the Mississippi; which was laid on the ia.
bic.
The resolution from the House of Representatives
"hxing the time Of adjournment" was taken up; and
Mr.. Mckinley moved TO strike out the seventeenth
day of May next" for the purpose of inserting thirty
first day Of May instant.
Mr.. Noble thought it premature to fix a day for an
adjournment of Congress, until it was ascertained whe-
Their the impeachment of Judge Peck would be acted on
the resolution and proposed amendment on the table,
which was agreed TO.
TEA N COFFEE.
On motion by Mr.. King, the bill from the House of
Representatives 'to reduce the duties ON coffee. tea and
cocoa" was taken up in Committee of the Whole, with
the amendments of the COMMITTEES on Finance of the
Senate thereto.
OF The duty on salt from 20 to 10 cents tho bnsbeI. was
opposed by Mr.. Marks, on the ground that as the same
proposition had been rejected by the House of Repre-
sentaives, in the progress of the bill there, it was not
probable that any change Of sentiment had taken place
on the subject since, and thought that the only effect of
any amendment TO the bill at this late stage of the ses-
sion would be to defeat il.
After some remarks by Mr.. Hayna in favor of, and by
MIR. Silsbee, MIR. Smith of Md. and Mr.. Johnston, against
the amendment,
Mr.. Grundy moved to lay the subject on the table. in
order that the Senate might proceed to the business spe-
cially assigned for this day; which motion was ncgaiv-
ed by yeas aid nays, 10 to %.
MIR. Holmes renewed the motion 10 lay the bill on the
table for the purpose ofconsidering Executive business,
which he thought would occupy the time of the Senate
but a short time, when the bill might be resumed: and
TINS motion having prevailed, the remainder of the day
was spent in Executive business. Some time after 5 o.
clock, the Senate adjourned.
