CONGRESSIONAL.

In the Senate, to-day, it was agreed informally
at the suggestion of Mr.. Allen, that the vote should
be taken on "ths notice" on Thursday next
Mr.. Huntington addressed the Senate on the sPe-
cial order, Mr.. Upham, who had the floor from last
week, being still, we regret to say, indsposed. Mr.
Huntington was in favor Of the notice in a modified
form, and desired its postponement ill later period
of the session, in order to give time for negotiation
A message was received from the President of the
United States in reply to Mr. J. M. Clayton reso,
lution announcing the fact that no additional dpo
matte correspondence in relation to the Oregon ques
ton had been received from the government Of Great
Britain since the date of his lths Prosdsnts) last
communication to Congress on this subject.
A message was also received from the President
in relation to the recent difficulties with the Chero-
kee Indians.
The House entered upon long debate, which ran
through many hours, the bill to protect the rights

THE CALL ANSWERED.

Our readers will recollect the resolution of Mr.
John M. Clayton, calling upon the President fol
copies Of any correspondence which may have
passed between the two governments since the las
call was answered. This resolution was discussed
from day to day for some time. Great expectation
were formed Of the effects Of this call. II was con
tended that the Senate was entitled TO all the iaforma
ton they could obtain that IL might be necessary Il
assist them in deciding the question OF notice. A
length il was adopted on Saturday; and so gIea
had been the ''secrehyeness" las the senator from
North Carolina, Mr.. Mangum, called it) which h,
ascrbed to the administration, that when the Presi
dent's reply was returned to-day, the call was
mere water-haul The President reports, that moth
ing had passed between tho two governments on tn,
subject, since his last communication. at il though
said the Washington correspondent of the Bslt
more Sum the correspondence will be forthcomiag
next week, after which the Senate will have no ex
cuse for delaying action any longer" No cor
respondenee, however, is forthcoming and nov
we shall see whether the faction will be de
lsyed any longer" II 10 believed that from
the indications Of this day in the Senate, tn,
question will be taken this week. Indeed, Thurs
day seems TO have been informally agreed upon
Proerastinaton will scarcely be the order of tn,
day. No more steamers will be waited for. M
more calls will probably be made. The Athenianr
will not wait for further news from Philip. IL il
presumed, too, from what passed to-day, that tn,
question will be taken on the House resolution
first. 1t would be idle for US to repeat, that this il
the form which will carry the most decided, salu
tary, and moral effect into the negotiation.
The answer TO Mr.. Ingersol's call was expected
today, and brought many an anxious auditor tc
the House; but 1t was not received. The charge,
which Mr. Ingersoll has made, too grave to b,
passed over. A full investigation is now demanded
as we'll by the character of Mr.. Webster, as by tn,
voice Of the community.

the Postmaster General should require Sloo in case
contract was made with him. to run more trips a
year, would he not ask, and would he not be entitled
by law to the pro rala increase of psyl Sloo has
had the advantage of all his representations before
the Post Office Committee of the House Of Repre-
sentatives What was the result The unanimous
approval Of the decision of the Postmaster Generals
and yet the Postmaster General, whose integrity 10
so proyerbal that il might be sworn by, is de-
nounced at the instance Of this bidder as dishonest
and Infamous Whyl Because he would not vio-
late the laws once twice. and thrice--the law that
protects the underbidder the law that requires tho
contracts be let for the express purpose OF enlist
ing private capital in this service, instead Of invest
ing in il the government money and the law that
forbids an advance from the public treasury; be-
cause he would not give Mr.. Sloo hafa million OF
dollars upon mere promise to build ships, and pay
him besides for carrying the mail If he ever came To
the performance of any service, several hundred
thousand dollars more than others would perform
the service for without any advance.
We hope that no claim set up by some ofthe com
peors will be allowed to interfere with the noble en-
terprise of establishing direct speedy, and fire.
quent communication between our country and the
heart of continental Europe. We want il TO 90 for
ward, not to enrich wandering spectators or con.
srss.ona borers, bu, 10 promote tho vast interest,
of tho nation. The Official evidence warrants the
hope that Mills and his associates will succeed; bu
il they fail they do not fail with $500, 900 Of tn.
peoples money in their pockets They must FRS
build the ships exactly right, and the ships mus
perform as promised, and they must render full and
complete service, before they get cent from tn.

The bill organizing Smithsonian institution, is
the special order Of the day for tomorrow, Tues
day. and until disposed Of. The original bill, as
reported by Mr.. Owen, does not make it a corpora.
tion nor there any such clause in the bill which
passed the Senate last session. But in the bill
reported back from the Select Committee, and now
bsfors the Committee Of the Whole on the state OF
the Union, the institution is only made corpo-
ration, but in the most unqualified terms, the words
being, "wh the usual powers, duties, and Liabilities
incident to corporations" We hope this provision
will not prevail. 1t is contrary, as we understand
it, to the spirit of the constitution A power to es
tabish corporations was expressly proposed to the
federal convention, and rejected.

1t is true that the principal in the second degree

where the principal in the first degree has died or

independently Of that Of the principal in the frs
degree. Upon the trial Of the principal in the 6rs'
degree, just had before me, have heard the who'll
evidence applicable to the Of these defendants,
and it does not prove anything tending to cast
the shadow of suspicion that they have done any
act which would make prosecution against them
accessories either required for, or permitted by,
the purposes of Justice. A note prosequt must he
entered, and the defendants discharged.
The above contains the substance of what said
on directing the prosecution against the defendants
to be dismissed.
