The bill provdi g for III ~ - mineral lands
was, after soe preliminary act tuil, passed by a
vote of 90 to o.
A motion was made to reconsider bill con-
corning boundary line of land reserved TO some
half breed tribe in Iowa, and Mr.. DODGE wa-
speaking on the subject. when Mr.. John Tyler,
jr., appeared with message from the acting Pre-
s'dent, conveying
VETO OF THE EASTERN HARBoR BILL,
and an approval of the Western harbor bill!
The acting President assigns reasoning for
approving the former, that it is too local in its
character. He did not altogether like the latter
but in consideration Of tie Mississippi river, he
signed it.
Mr.. SEYMOUR, of N. Y, moved that the mes
sage be spread on the journal, and made the spe-
cial order for Thursday, and moved the previous
question. s
The SPEAKER decided that the previous ques-
ton cut off the motion TO postpone, and brought
the House to direct vote upon the question,
"Sha the bill pass, notwithstanding the objec-
tons of the President o.
The yeas and nays we're required by the Con-
sttution and the House voted as folows-for the
bill l03--against it $3.50, there not being two
thirds it was lost. a
The House then resumed the consideration of
the bill concerning the boundary line of Indian
lands in Iowa. and refused to reconsider its former
action upon it.
The House then went into Committee Of the
Whole, Mr.. HAMLIN, Of Maine, in the Chair,
and took up and amended the naval pension bill.
Also, the bill to establish a naval. depot at
Memphis, Tennessee.
DISTRICT BANKS.
On motion Of Mi CAMPBELL, the House
took up the bill to charter the banks of this

Mr.. TUCKER, OF fss., moved an amendment
furnishing with fine aud Imprisonment any per-
sons in the banks who shall exercise the banking
Offices after the 4,h of July, 1874. The fine is
not less than $1,000 and the Imprisonment in
the penitentiary not more than ten years.
Mr.. CARY, Of Me-, advocated this amendment
and made speech against the "rotten institu-
tons of the District of Columbia, and warned
the Democrats against all banks.
Mr.. CAUSIN, of Md, advocated the bill with
great ZEAL and reproached the self-styled Demo-
cracy in the House with the disposition they man.
lfested to trample upon the interests, and dsre-
gard the wishes, of the people of this District,
whose representatives they we're.
Mr. MORSE, of Me-, responded briefly to Mr.
Cary, but declined following him in his political
rgmarole.
At A o'clock the Committee rose and reported
| In the House, the navy pension bill was passed
While a resolution was pending, submitted by
Mr.. CAMPBELL, of 8. c., to take the Distric
Bank bill out of Committee tomorrow, at l.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.

Mr.. WELLER desired to present resolution
for allowing the same extra pay to the clerks and
messengers of this House as were paid to those
of the last Congress. Objected to.
Mr.. ADAMS asked leave to present certain
memorials for extending the term required to en-
title foreigners to the rights Of citizens. Mr..
WELLER objected.
Mr.. A. moved suspension of the rules being
determined, he said, that the petitioners should
not, if he could help it, be thrust out under the
gag.' The yeas and nays were called, and the
suspension was refused. Ayes 35, noes "a.
Several messages in writing were received
from the President. One of them was in refer
ence to the Texas project, and was read. II con-
tanned nothing but the same sort Of twaddle,
which might have been read in the Madisonian
these three months past. The RED Lion" Of
England is held up as scare-crow, and as she
annexed ireland, it is urged she has nothing to
say against our annexing Texas. The President
has " information from respectable sources" that
treaty of alliance, offensive and defensive, will
be set on foot between the Red Lion" and
Texas.
The message having been read, Mr.. HOP
KINS, of Virginia, moved that it be printed and
referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs,
and on this motion called the previous question.
Mr.. KENNEDY, of Maryland, moved to lay
the document on the table, and called the yeas
and nays; which was rejected by ll6 to &C.
The motion to refer and print was agreed to.
Mr.. WEI LER moved the suspension of the
rules in order to consider at once resolution to
print $4,000 extra copies of the message.
Mr.. WINTHROP contended that the message
having been referred to the Committee on For
elgn Affairs, it was no longer in possession of
the House, and therefore the motion to print ex-
ira numbers was Irregular.
The SPEAKER overruled the objection, and
the yeas and nays were called on the motion to
suspend which was lost: Ayes l0S, noes 70
not two-thirds.
SOMETHING LIKE IMPEACHMENT.
Mr.. ADAMS asked leave to introduce the fol.
lowing, which was read for information s|
ResoIued, That the power of declaring war is
expressly and exclusively delegated by the people
of this Government to the Congress of the Uni
ted States; and that any attempt to involve this
country in foreign war, with, or without the con-
sent Of The Senate, is fragrant violation Of the
powers belonging to Congress, and will require
Of them all their constitutional authority to vindi-
cate their lawful powers. .n.1a
