Election, dc.
You will see by report Of Congressional pro-
ceedings which send you, that the two Houses
are making rapid work with the bills now before
them. The bill authorizing two millions OF dol
lars to be placed at the disposal Of the President
was, as presumed it would be in my last letter,
passed by the House on Saturday night. A bill
for the same purpose was also introduced in the
Senate by Mr.. Lewis.
The Cherokee Treaty was rejected by the
Senate on Saturday afternoon. The vote was
afterwards reconsidered, and the Treaty post
poned until the next session OF Congress. By a
selegraphic despatch received from Washington
las. evening, however, we learn that it was
strongly rumored there that the Treaty was again
taken up by the Senate in secret session and
passed. It is to be hoped that this last report
Treaty may have the effect OF prolonging the
disorders which have existed to such an alarming
extent among them during the past year.
The American OF this morning has an exclu.
sive copy Of the veto OF the French Spolation
Bill by the President. This veto will occasion
. deep sensation in our city-a large amount Of
the claim is owned by our citizens. The rea.
sons given by the President for the veto are
principally that he is not satisfied with the just.
ness Of the claims; but that even il the claims
are just the present is an unpropitious moment
to draw so much money from the Trearury, when
there ere already such large demands upon it.
The mode Of paying The claims-in land. scrip-
he also strongly objects to, as calculated TO cause
speculation ia the public lands, to the injury Of
those who desire 10 purchase them for settlement.
This feature OF the bill met with much opposition
from Western members, when it was under con.
sideraton.
Yesterday being Sunday, we have Of course
no papers from the East; and as the Telegraph
between this and Philadelphia could not be made
to work last evening, on account Of heavy
storm by which we were visited, we are entirely
without. news from that quarter.
The steamer Great Western is due, being now
in her sixteenth day. She may, however, have
arrived at New York yesterday. She will bring
but seven days later news.
The trial Of Gen. Gaines is progressing slowly,
at Old Point Comfort. The opinion is very gen.
orally entertained that the old veteran will come
off with flying colors, and that the opinion Of the
Court will be, indirectly, condemnatory of the
Government
Information received from'the tobacco growing
counties Of Maryland, express the opinion that
the crop will not yield more than twothrds oil
an average this year.
The returns from the election in North Caro-.
lima indicate not only The election OF a Wing
Governor, but also majority of the Legislature,
thereby securing the election OF the Wing U. S.
Senators. A slip from the Office OF the "Old
North State" published at Elizabeth City; says,
that GRAHAM, the Wing candidate for Governor,
has received in Pasquotank county majority Of
sbout 300. Perquimans has given him 225 ma,
iorty; Chowan about 10; Camden, one pre-.
cinct heard from, Old Trap, 3O2 majority.
