and the public money consumed in it. The legal gen.
temen of the House discussed the evidence for the

tally mslad on Frday1
Mr.. g. said he wished to call the attention of the
House again to a resolution offered some DAYS ago
by gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Navlor)
the object of which was to obtain from the NAVY De-
parment certain charges against Jesse d. Elliott. a
captain in the Navy.
The result of the efforts made yesterday to bring
the resolution before the House had but increased
his Mr. C.'s) wish to sift this subject thoroughly.
It was irreconciable with his sense Of Justice that
ms officer Of "fgurehead" celebrity should be per-
mlted TO escape investigation, under charges which
50 vitality affected the character of the Navy, and
the justice and humanity of the Government; and
he for one, was determined to persevere in the ef-
tort to bring this subject before the country, and to
make il understood who and what they were who
resisted the effort 10 bring this Executive pet to
justice -
The House, by general consent took up the reso-
luton which, after undergoing some verbal modi-
eaouns as given in our report Of the days proceed
ing was considered and adopted
