~ DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
Washington, 23d June, 1886.

To the President of the United States:
The Secretary of State, to whom was
referred resolution ofthe Senate ofthe 18th
instant, requesting the President 'to COM
municate to the Senate any information in
his possession not inconsistent with the pub
Tic interest touching the political condition
of Texas-the organization. .ofits Govern
nent. and its capacity to maintain its Inde-
pend encc; and, also, any correspondence
which may have taken place between the
Executive ofthe United States and the Gov.
ernmcnt of Texas or its agents" has the
honor to lay before the President the ac.
companying copies Of papers addressed to,
and left at, the Department of State by per-
sons claiming to be agents OF the Republic
Of Texas; being all the information and cor.
respondence called for by the resolution.
No answers having been returned to any OF
these communications, they remain for fur
ther consideration. and such direction as the
President shall hereafter give.
z All which is respectfully presented.
-. JOHN FORSYTH.
The message having been read,
Mr.. Clay rose, and said it did not appear
to him to be necessary that reference
should be made ofthis message, as the Pres!-
dent himself states that he deems it requI-
site that he shall have further information
on the subject before he determines on the
propriety of recognizing the independence
of Texas. The Committee on Foreign
Relations in their report hadcertalnly thrown
ont no reflection on the President as having
been too tardy in his movements, but had
come to the conclusion that it would be
proper to recognize the independence OF
Texas whenever it should be communicated
that she had Government able to sustain
itself. AS the President had signified de-
sire to wait for further information before ne
acts. there would probable be no necessity 10
move to refer these papers to the Commit
tee on Foreign Relations He moved to
Law the message on the table, and prin: it.
Mr.. Preston stated that the only fact ne
ccssarv to be established was, that the war
in Texas had terminated; and that was pro-
we'd bv the documents accompanying the
message. He would, however, concur IN
the emotion of the Senator from Kentucky,
merely reserving to himself the privilege
to move further in the subject, if, on refiec-
ton, he should feel convinced that such
course was advisable. The present mcll-
nation of his mind was to move to refer the
resolution ofthe Committee on Foreign Re-
lations back to that committee with instruc.
tions to rcpor, resolution to recognize the
.;nndcpcpIcncc Of Texas.

members of the family, TO little girl that
was busy at play, " can you tell MIR.

her little hands, and assuming serious

CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES.
FRIDAY. JUNE "a, 1886.


A message was received from the Presl-
dent Of the United States, announcing his
approval Of the bill to regulate the public de-
posites, e.i.-.-. ...
MIR. Clay remarked that the message just
communicated by the President announced
the gratifying fact that he had approved the
deposite bill. He (Mr. c. was extremely
glad of it, and it afforded ground for great
rejoicing; but he could not refrain from OBJ
serving that the same fact was announced
this morning in the Globe, in an editorial
article which bore an authorized character;
and that it was not according to established
usage, nor respectful towards Congress, that
his appreciation ola bill passed by that body
should be communicated to the editor of a
newspaper prior 10 the communication OF
the fact to that House in which the bill had
originated.
The following message was also received
from the President ofthe United States:
To the President otthe United States
In compliance with resolution Of the
Senate of the 18th instant, transmt.a ise-
port from the Secretary of State, with the
papers Herewith presented. Not having
accurate and detailed information of the
civil, military, and political condition OF
Texas, have deemed it expedient to take
the necessary measures, now in progress, to
procure it, before deciding upon the course
to be pursued in relation to the newly de-
clared Government.

DEven at this early day, there is con-
siderable speculation as TO Mr.. Van Buren's
cabinet. The general impression seems to
be, that a portion OF the present inoum.
benls will 60 out. We think so, too, If
Van acts upon the principles Of his party.
Forsyth must 90 on although lie is per-
haps he best man in the cabinet, now that
Cass is gone TO France. The TACT is, For
sy'h has moi RARNE D his office, having failed
10 carry Georgia, his own state. On the
other hand, Woodbury. will be retained,
notwithstanding his unfiness and Ken
dali, who is an energetic officer, his miser-
able demagogism To the contrary no,wilh-

OUR ViLLAeE.-An organ has been put
up in the brick church recently, manuac-
lured by Mr.. Parks, Of ST. Johnsbury.
Though we are not competent judges. il
strikes US that the tone oi the instrument
is very good. A fire engine was some time
time siuce purchased, manufactured at Wa
leriord, N. Y. We recommend the new
company 10 make frequent trials of it, until
they become perfectly lamiiarzeG with
every joint and screw. A delay of one
quarter or one half hour, such as occurred
the other day, in getting ready TO combat
fire, will never dove learn that the old
state house bell is TO be replaced by new
one, in the court house. II is hard parting
with that bell--the best toned altogether
Of any we ever heard, in city or country.
II has been Eung, however, for legislatures,
courts and caucuscs, until its lungs were
cracked. Let all concerned take due notice
Of The following - "Whereas present
ments have been made 10 the grand jurors,
within and for the county Of Washington
that sundry persons have recently been fir
ing in the village of Montpelier, by which
firing, balls have passed through several
buildings in said village; and whereas the
grand Jurors aforesaid, consider that il does
not properly come under their enquiries
would recommend the same 10 the proper
authorities. G. Keith, Foreman; Mat
