The House went at once into Committee OF the
Whole, Mr.. TAYLOR in the Chair. Mr. ROGERS
moved verbal amendment providing that each
District shall elect one Member.
Messrs TowssESD and HUMPHREY objected
to this, as succumbing TO the act OF Congress
prescribing uniform Single Dstricts,-or at leas,
as opening that questi on Mr.. r. withdrew his
amendment. The question then required on
Sec The counties of Suffolk and Queens, shall com
pose the first district and shall be entitled 10 elect one
member.
Mr. SMITH, of Greene, suggested that here was
Monsieur Tonson come again, and that the qses-
tien of conforming to or multiplying the Act of
Congress should be net ut once. Mr.. D. X. r.
JONES went dead against the Single District re-
QUESTION as unconstitutional and moved that the
Committee rise and. report, in order to take up
Mr.. Dix's resolution condemnins the Single Dis
trict requisiton, and settle that matter first.
Mr. O'SULLlvAN thought it would be better
first to see whether the State could not be as well
divided into Single Districts as any. 1t would be
useless to nullify for nothing.
Mr.. D. R. F. Jones's motion fell, wolully.
Mr.. SWAcXHANER made speech in King
Canbyses' vein, against the atrocious Wing re-
QUESTION. He moved to strike out the first section
Of the bill, and insert the following odd sort Of
substitute:
Herea, the recent dctaoral of Congress command
ing the State Legislatures to district the several States
without consulting the convenience will OF the people,
much Of consolidation and is nco.gruous with
State rights and infringement Of State ssrereienty
warranted by the Constitution OF the United States:
R..elvd tif the Senate concnr> That in the opinion of
this Legislature the provision OF the late Apporionment
Bill, directing the State governments how they shall dis
trct their States, is not obligatory and therefore, this Le
islaure will proceed to district this State according to
the Constitution, and not III compliance with the provision
of the ACT before mentioned.
The Chairman of course pronounced this amend
ment out of order, and Mr.. S. tried it in another
place. but it would not fay in, so he gave it up.
Mr.. McMvRRAY, as instructed by his COL
leagues, moved to add the County of Kings ex-
cept Brooklyn to the First District Gas provided
in the Wing minority bill-which, by the way, is
decidedly moro popular than that of the maority.)
Mr.. WEIR advocated this amendment, and
Messrs. R. A. UDALL and Lott strenuously OPP
posed it.
Mr.. HorFMAs now rose and stirred up the ami
mails by proposing the Single Dristrict question
again. He wanted to know why the Committee
had cut certain Counties to pieces, and patched
others together so badly, Sc. &c. He inferred
that it was in accordance with the Act of Congress
Mr. ROGERS assured him thar such was the
melancholy fact The Committee considered
that it would be of no use try nulhfy the act
of Congress, for if they did the Governor would
nulify their act by Veto. So they had conclud-
ed to submit contenting themselves with very
savage protest drawn up by Gen. Dix, proposing
an amendment, of the Federal Constitution
This did not satisfy Mr.. HoFFMAs, who pro-
ceeded to make Notification speech on the
high-pressure principle. He wished frs, to take
the sense of the Legislature and see who were for
submission TO the mandamus' of Congress;
then let the bill be framed according to the de-
cision.
This called up Mr.. SIMMONS, who made an
able and triumphant rindicaton of the constitu-
tionali,y justice and necessity of the reousition
of Congress. 1t was in his very best vein, and
he has no superior in the Legislature as consti-
tutional lawyer. Mr.. HOFFMAN rejoined, and Mr..
SIMMONS re5u,ted and then the House adjourned,
just as far along as when the session opened. G.

ALBANY, Saturday, Aug. 20.
There has been good deal of talking to little
purpose to-day. In SENATE, Gen. Roor concluded
his remarks on his Public Land resolutions, and
they were instantly laid on the table by square
party vote. So was another petition offered by
Gen. Z. So was one from zoo citizens of Ticga
County, for aid to the Erie Railroad. offered by
Mr.. PLArr. The vote it stood IA TO Hall
Lecos in the affirmative; all Wings but Dir. FAUX
