The session yesterday was dull one
/ in Congress. The Apportionment bill
was debated IN the House of Representa-
liives by the hour, and principally upon
the amendment Of Mr.. lIaIsiead, oil New
Jersey. The district system, which is
the subject under consideration, seems to
be the popular one with the majority OF
members who have spoken. One or Two
noisy speeches have been made by bois-
ferrous Loco Focos, in favor of giving the
dominant party Of one State the entire del.
egaton. These ultra men see in most Of
the States, just now, temporary Loco
Foco majority, and some Of them are cor.
rupt enough to advocate the general tick
Ell system, in the expectation that they
may carry these States.
The prevailing opinion here is that the
amendment Of Mr.. Halsiead will prevail
and that Congress will incorporate clause
in the Apporlionment bill, which will not
only require a division oil Congressional
districts into contiguous portions Of terri
tory, but, what is almost as important,
fix upon the one day system for Congtes.
sional elections in all the States OF the
Union. The last amendment will be
more popular than the former, but, in all
probability, both will prevail, unless some
new reasons should be gwen against
change.
The chairman of the Apportionment
commttee--M Mr.. Everett, nf Vermont
has given notice that he will this morning
introduce a resolution TO take the Appor-
tionment bill from the committee to.mor.
row-al debate TO cease at twelve o'clock.
The success Of the motion is by no means
certain, and barely possible.
The Civil and Diplomatic Bill is before the Sem
ate with amendments. The Till will be the order
Of business for the day.
The time Of the Senate was occupied in the con-
sderatiun Of private business and bill for the set
Element Of a claim under the treaty of Dancing
Rabbit Creek, occupied nearly tue whole day.
Mr. Allen Of Ohio, is again good deal interest
ed in matters belonging particularly to Rhode Is
md and made effort yesterday, which he prom
ised TO to-day 10 lake up the resolution cali
ing upon the President for correspondence, infor-
nation, &c. Always jealous disofganIzer him
