of the resolution concerning the United States and
Texas, of which we spoke yesterday. After some
attempts at circumventlon, ii was adopted. 1t
runs as follows: -

Governments OF the United States and Texas, since
the last communication OF the President to Con-
gress relating TO that Republic; and of any procla
nations OF the President thereof declaring his deter
nlnation to invade the Mexican Republic, and IN
wiling the cooperation OF the citizens of the United
states In such intended invasion. And the Presl-
dent Is requested TO inform this House whether any,
and, any, what notice mas been taken by the Ex-
ecutive OF the United States of the said proclama-
ton OF the President of Texas"
The Senate was some time occupied with mes
sage from the President, in reply to Mr.. Preston's
resolution, callngtor information regarding af-
fairs with Mexico and Texas.
AT two they went into Executive Session
Yesterday the nomination of Mr.. Birch to an office
in Missouri, rejected, in addition to those al

The House went almost Immediately into Com
mittee of the Whole on the General Tariff Bill.
Mr. FmLMoRE's resolution TO reduce the duty on
iron in bars bolts not manufactured, in whole or
in part from rolling, from SlS to $l7 per ton, was
the question pending.
a motion of Mr.. EDWARDS of PENNSYLVANIA, to
amend the amendment by striking out ST. and in
sorting S25 was rejected; as was another from Mr..
Cooper, to strike out $I7 and insert 20 per cent ad
vaorem; and one by Mr.. Black to insert q per cent
ad valorem; besides several others
The question being taken on Mr.. Fillmore's

Mr.. CAVE JOHNSON moved to strike out the pro-

1913, but making 1t after that date subject to the
same duty rolled ron," and TO insert proviso

whole provso, and substituting 80 per cent ad va

made wholly or in part by rolling.
The Tariff debate was going on when our letter
closed.
1t is the current report at the Capitol, and that
substantial authority, that the North Eastern Boun-
dairy question is fully and honorably settled.
The threat of Mr.. Bolts may entifle him to a vote
from both houses OF the best strait Jacket that
be made in the republic. 1t is universally ptied as
"A sad ebulitlon OF local, well political jealousy
and rancor-a neighbours fierce quarrel, which is

impeachment, which appeared in this mornings In
