tigating Committee intirnates that the f+5dse Of
Representatives does not possess the power Of
investigating official abuses, because it is the
province Of that body to impeach him. Iu his
protest, he denied the right of the Senate to ex-
press an opinion Of his official acts, because that
body was the only tribunal by which he could
be tried after having been impeached by the
House. Had he gone one step further, and dc.

crimination in funds TO be received in payment
for the public revenue, came mp for considers-
ton in the Senate on the 10th instant, when Mr..
Hubbard moved TO amend the bill SO as TO re-
quire the receivers of public money TO receive
the same script in payment for public lands as
heretofore. MIR. Clay remarked that the bill in
its present form left the Treasury Order unres
cinded, and offered an amendment to Mr.. Hub
bard's amendment declaring thatit was not law
fuI for the Secretary Of the Treasury to make any
discrimination in the funds receivable for the
bard and unanimously adopted by the House.
After some little discussion, the bill then passed
by a vote Of al to 5.
