Mr. JAMESON. of Mo, reported several billie
making grants OF land to Missouri.
Mr. HOPKINS reported bill to amend the
law relating to the Post Office Department
A bill for the construction of dry dock at Phil
adelphia was presented, accompanied by counter
report. sHafi-
The committees having been called through, the
House resolved itself into Committee of the
Whole on the state OF the Union, and took up a
bill to reduce the
PAY OF THE ARMY.
Mr.. BLACK, of s. c., addressed the Commit
tee in behalf of the bill, contrasting the pay of
officers now, with what iswas during the war,
and showing that Captain received more now
than Colonel then. He examined the whole
subject in detail, and earnestly pressed the pro-
posed reduction.
Mr.. DAVIS, of Ia, regretted that the Commit
tee on Re:renchment had not gone one stop fur
Their and abolished the useless Office Of Major
General. There were some curious circum-
stances connected with the appointment of Gen.
Scott in looking over the Army Register he
found that Major General Scott entered the SER
vice in 1908, and Gen. Gaines in 1899, and why
the latter was not appointed Major General he
did not know. He moved to amend the bill, by
abolishing the Office of Major General.
Mr.. HALE thought the pay of Major General
too high, and the Office useless but he doubted
the propriety Of incorporating the amendment
in this bill.
Mr.. DEAN opposed the amendment. II was
blow aimed at the whole bill. He was in
favor of reduction, but would not strike at war
worn veteran like General Scott. five could
not reform abuses without destroying the army,
then let us disband it.
WESTERN WATERS
Mr.. DAVIS, of Ky, moved to lay aside the
present BILL in order to take up that for the I'M
provement of the Western waters; if not taken
up before the appropriation bills were it would
be entirely lost.
Mr.. WENTWORTH said he would join in
taking up the bill on Monday.
Mr.. McCLELLAND said the gentleman who
reported the bill was absent, and he desired, in
his name, that it might be postponed.
Mr.. DAVIS withdrew the motion.
The debate was continued upon the amend
ment of Mr. Davis Of Indiana, striking at Cen
raj Scott.
MIR. DROMGOOLE inquired Of the gentle
man what his object was in this movement
Mr.. DAVIS said the Office was useless, and
he was for cutting down a titled nabob who sat
in his parlOr and dictated to Congress-
Mr.. DROMGOOLE defended General Scott
with much warmth, as also did Mr.. C. j. IN
GERSOLL.
Mr.. ADAMS said the country owed much to
Major General Scott, both for his services in the
field, when the shedding of blood was Stern
necessity and, also, for still higher services,
when he aided strenuously in preventing the
effusion of blood.
The amendment of Mr.. DAVIS was voted
down, almost CONTEMPORARY.
The provisions Of the bill were then discussed
by great many gentlemen, and great many
amendments were proposed, but no final action
taken, when the Committee rose, and
The House adjourned

ANNEXATION OF TEXAS.

OF all the great issues discussed in the
late canvass, that which elected most inte-
rest, and which formed the most distinc-
tive ground Of difference between the two
parties, was the restoration of Texas TO the
Union. On this hinge turned most of the
intrgues of whigery, and the democratic
party met the issue in all sections of the
Union, on the ground assumed by the Con-
yention at Baltimore. The result has pro-
we'd, beyond the possibility of doubt, that
the measure may now be brought forward
under the omnipotent sanction Of the peo-
ple's will We doubt not that but for the
m alversation of Senator Benton, and the
unfortunate position assumed by one or
TWO others of the intellectual giants of the
party, far greater majority of the people
would have given their sanction to this
great American measure.
Col. POLK will come into office pledged
in favor of immediate annexation; and
there is noreason to doubt that he will bring
the measure to a successful result, and
restore the lone star otis place in cur con-
sieIation.

Has been in session for TWO weeks past,

will publish it in our next
The prominent topic Of the session will
be the annexation of Texas. It will be re-
membered that after the rejection Of the
treaty by the Senate, the papers, cores
pondence, &c. relating to the subject were
sent in to the House, with message, re.
commenting that the measure be effected
by iointresoiulion. The matter was refer
red to the committee on Foreign Relations,
and at the adjournment left among the I'M
finished business From the unsettled as
pect Of affairs in Mexico, and the tota
failure of that country to prosecute the
taked-of invasion, we shall not be surpris
ed if the annexation is consummated dur.
ing this session--cerainly a. an early pc.
Rod Of the next session.
Among tne important measures whichit
is to be hoped will be acted on, is a reduc.
ton of postage, or the adaptation OF the
rates to the Federal currency.
