session be devoted to public business, and the after
noon to private business, until the private calendar
is cleared off. The resolution is to be considered
on Monday next. Mr. Allen offered a resolution
calling upon the Secretary of the Treasury for in
formation concerning the state of the public faan-
ces loans, treasury notes, rate of interest nc COM
prising more than dozen items. The resolution
lays over under the rule.
There was then half an hours talk, during which
the arguments in favor of order and despatch in the
business before the Senate, were repeated for the
seventeenth time, without any result.
Mr. MERRIcK called up resolution offered by

of the Senate with the Executive departments
Mr.. Mcrrick, who is very classical scholar, Of
extraordinary requirements stated that unless some
action was taken by the Senate there would be diff

majority.

voted to suspend the rules to receive it. Mr. Tyson
| is constitutonally in Office, and must continue so
until the termination OF the present session, unless
is matter about which there can be no ques-
ton, and it is astonishing that any member of Con-
gress should be blind to the facts.

The President shall have power to fill up all vacan-
cies that may happen during the ofthe Senate
end OF their next session." Nothing can be palmer,

duct in relation to MIR. Tyson Did these gentlemen
never hear of the sportsman who was Frustrated by
the recoil Of his gun, while his intended victim es-
capped unhurt :! When gun is overloaded, the
breech Subsequently more dangerous than the muzze
AT the expiration of the morning hour the appor-
tonment bill was taken up, and the house receded
| from its concurrence in the Senate amendments. A
motion was then made to lay the bill on the table,
but it was nsgatved by large majority, and the
ratio of the Senate, 90 $3.50, agreed te-ayes ll3,
noes l03. The fractional amendment was also con-
cured In, and the bill only requires authorization
| to become law.
The annexed table, shows the number of repre-
sensations which each.State WILDE entitled under
the ratio adopted, and the fractions unrepresented.
