House could no, be heard (. z

There are doubts asto the confirmation

The Democrats in favor Of the annexa-
lion of Texas, are now called Texocrats.
Those who are againstahe annexation are
termed anti-crats, while the neutrals are
styled democrats.

Iu!he Senate this morning, there was a
whole regiment Of memorials from Phila-
delphia, strongly urging an amendment OF
the Naturalization laws, so lhatno for
eigner can become citizen without no.
tice of 81 years. Many of the memori-
ais are written ia very bad spirit, evl-
dently arising from the recent riots in the
above city. Of course there can be no
action on the subject, at the present ses-
sion.
Memorials ;n great numbers were pre-
sented from various quarters in favor of
The Immediate annexation Of Texas.
The Civil aud Diplomatic appropriation
bill from the House, was taken up and re-
ferred 10 the Finance Committee.
After the disposal of some resolutions Of
no special importance, the doors were
closed, and the consideration Of the Texas
treaty once more resumed. 1t was still
under discussion when the mail closed.
The vote will probably not be taken be-
fore midnight.
In the House notice was given by Mr..
Hopklus, that he will on Monday, call up
the Post Office reform bill.
F Mr.: Davis of KY, moved a suspension
of the rules. for the purpose of introducing
his resolution, directing the Post Office
Committee to inquire whether the Post
master General has not abused-his Office,
but without success.
Just before The House adjourned, mes
sage was received from the President. 1t
was not opened, but the general impress
sion is that it is either veto Of the Har
bors, or the Texas papers. If it be.the
latter, we shall without doubt have the
Texas question up on Monday, in the
shape of joint resolution.
As only six days remain of the session,
it is evident that many important bills
will be left untouched. There was ru-
NOR this morning that an attempt would
be made to rescind the joint resolution Of
adjournment, but ] am told il would stand
no chance.
Ii appears that Duff Green is not going
to Texas, as Charge, but in some private
capacity.
Tomorrow afternoon, several members
of Congress will hold a Temperance
meeting on the Portico of the Capital, 10
commemorate the passage of The joint, res
olution, prohibiting the sale OF inloxica-
ting liquors in the Capitol.
It's believed that The Senate will no,
concur in that clause Of tho Navy bill
which abolishes corporal punishment in
the Navy. II is argued that sailors are in
general too degraded TO be affected by
moral punishment.
June IL.
Inlhe Senate this morning, great num-
ber ofmemorials in favor ofthe annexation
of Texas, and asking change ia the nat
uralization law, were presented and re
erred.
With reference to the latter. discus
sion arose, in the course of which It was
eliciled that the Judiciary Committee will
not have time to report on the subject at
the present session. -
The joint resolution of Mr.. McDuffie,
providing for the annexation of Texas,
was taken up, and by vote Of 26 10 19,
laid on the table.
Mr.. Benton called up his Texas bill, and
made some trivial amendments. This bill
then took its place ON the calendar. 1t is
understood that no further action on the
subject is to be had a, the present session.
The remainder of the day was spent in
exective session.
In the House, a ,volumnious message
was received from the President, relative
10 the annexation of,Texas.
There being q aloudcall for the reading,
the message was read by the Clerk.
Mr.. Hopkins moved reference ofihe
Message and papers,io the Committee on
Foreign Affairs. 49,.
Mr. Kennedy of Maryland, moved
lay the whole subject on thesstable. This.
motion was rejected-yeas 66, nays ll6.
This refusal to, lay on the table ought-not
TO be taken as an indication Of the vote in
favor Of 5annexatien. Those who voted
against the: laying on the liable, did moi de-:
sire 10 es,ablish the precedent Of refusing
ao:reterto TO an Executive Message.
The motion Of Mr.. Hopkins was then
agreed 10, and the whole matter referred
TO the. Committee on Foreign Affairs. A
