a Snoo Storm Refusal of the Supreme Court IN
the Case Of Gov DOR Graduation Of Price Of
Public Lands-Tras aud President Poik's Bro
Tiers.
We have had another sputtering snow storm
to- day, which melts almost as fast as il falls. AS
you will perceive by another letter, the Supreme
Count have refused TO allow writ OF error in the
case OF Gov. Don, for reasons there given. The
house was occupied the greater portion OF the
morning in ha discussion OF the bill graduating the
sales Of public lands, in proportion 10 the time they
have been in the market. II has assumed nearly
distinct party character, and will 30 be decided
when the tTial vote IS taken. Mr.. lngersoll, the
Chairman OF the Committee OF Foreign Affairs, in
answer to'a call from DIR. Hammett, stated that
he should be prepared to move on the annexation
question on Monday next, when the resolutions
previously presented by him will be so amended as
10 include the views contained In the resolutions
Of Mr. Douglass, end that part Of Mr., Weller's,
lalive 10 the division Of the territories and the
boundary. As have before informed you, these
resolutions, SO amended, will pass. They are in
accordance with the views Of the President elect
and all the western friends of Texas.
Col. VIM. II. Polk, the brother OF the President
elect, arrived here from Tennessee last evening,
and took lodgings al Coleman's popular hotel,
where the President elect will also take rooms
when he arrives IN this city
