ing the appointment of officers. lie regar
ded it, as II was, as an nfraction of the Con
stitutlon.
Mr.. Davis said he could not vote for the
bill, because it declared war 10 exist by the
act Of Mexco--which he believed 10 be con-
trary to the fact.
Mr.. Clayton said that Notwithstanding the
unhandsome and discourteous act of the ma
iorty, in refusing an amendment, he should
vote for the bill.
The bill from the House finally, slightly
amended, passed the Senate by a vote Of 40
to 2, Messrs. Il. Clayton and Davis voting IN
the negative. The amendments made by
the Senate are unimportant. They strike
out that provision which requires the officers
commanding the volunteers to be chosen by
and with the consent of the Senate. Also
reducing the pay of the private soldiers 10
$500 per month. A motion to stike out
the preamble was rejected by vote of Is
yeas to % nays.
The House OF Representatives, at an ear
ly hour went into Committee of the Whole
upon the bill TO raise a corps of sappers and
miners.
MIR. Burt, of South Carolina, who called
up the bill, desired that the bill should pas:
: at once, and moved that the committee rise
Mr.. Giddings was opposed to this haste
and said that he was opposed TO an increase
of the standing army.
The committee then rose and reported the
: bill to the House. 1t was read third tlmt
and passed Yeas 1853, nays 8.
: A motion to reconsider was put and lost
The House then went into Committee o
: the Whole, and took up the bill for the sup
port OF the military academy.
MIR. Sawyer made violent speech agains
the institution, and against the army an'
navy.
e Mr.. Tibbatts and Mr.. Darragh spoke a
length upon the state Of Mexican affairs, AM
= little of Oregon.
Mr.. Gordon obtained the floor and on hi
: motion the committee rose.
e The war bill as amended in the Senat'
e was then taken up and passed, and ii on
needs the signature of the President to be
come law.
