TWENTY-NINTH CONGRESS
S e N A T T..
TUESDAY, March 10, 1876.

Alter prayer by the Rev. Mr.. Tuson, some
unimporlant petitions and memorials were
presented, ard
Mr.. Pearce of Md rose and presented me-
mortal from citizens Of Queen Anne county,
Md. without distinction of party, on the Ore
gon notice. Many of them were warm sup
porters OF the present administration and the
President, an old friend of Gen. Jackson,
and present friend of Mr.. Polk. Mr.. Pearce
was personally acquainted with all the memo
rialsts; they were reading men, and men
whose opinions had weight wherever they
were known. The memorial was pacific in
its character, and in favor of compromise and
negotiation. Mr.. P. was quite lengthy in his
remarks, and made an excellent speech on the
merits Of the question, on the broad grounds
afforded him by the able memorial which he
presented
MIR. Fairfield objected to some statements
made by Mr.. p. in relation to our settlement of
the Northwestern Boundary with Russia, and
the Convention of England and this country in
1919. lie was briefly responded 10 by Mr..
Pearce. A
After some petitions, SIC. a bill was intro
duced to remodel the consular establishments
OF tins country. Several reports from COM
miitees were presented, and the prior orders
10y PoS'pcuCu w VIC oPSSioi ot-
der on Oregon, which was continued by re-
sumption Of the speech Of Mr. Evans from
where he left off previous to adjournment yes
terday. lie pursued the course Of reasoning
that he addnced yesterday, in derogaton ofFour
title TO 54o 4O and against the notice, on ac-
count OF It's improprieiy and impoicy at the
present time. He held that our settlement at
Astoria, near the mouth of the Columbia, was
formed by means Of Mr.. Astor's money; but
that the individuals composing it were mostly
British subjects from Canada. He did not
think war would result from the motto, but we
were not TO stop with the notice; gentlemen on
the other side Of the Senate chamber were 60
ing TO establish our laws over the territory,
arm and fortliy it, and these subsequent mea-
sures would inevitably produce war, though
the notice was harmless in itself.
In relation to some remarks of Mr.. Evans,
relative TO the newspaper rumor that Mr.. Nc
Lane had written home to the effect that the
negotiation could be better conducted tor the
interest of this country, ifit were removed
from this city TO London,
Mr.. Allen rose and asked ifthe Senator from
Maine, thought it advisable or wise, to predi-
cate his observations on mere rumuTs, like the
above, when we had no official information Of
anything like ii.
Mr.. Evans admitted that he did not know
whether 1t were wise or not. He deprecated
plungiog the country in war, when there was
any mode Of honorable adjustment left open.
As to the London negotiaton---he thought the
administration meant TO settle the question

In other words, as far as Icould Judge, these
drinking houses appeared TO do an extensive
business, and at night, in the neighborhoed of
the docks, such houses appeared to be filled'to
overlooking. The worst feature in this degra-
dation is that women are conspicuous at these
drinking haunts and appear TO struggle 10 bear

for washing infants--being remarkably mild and

AT this season of the year, and during winter,
many people are afflicted with "chapped hands,"
We have heretofore suffered much from the same
cause, and have applied almost every kind of med
icnal preparations which were recommended TO us,
but without success, until we finally determined to
use Glenn's Compound Spermaceii Soap. This
had the desired siect and having used it constantly
for two or three years, we can confidently pro-
nounce it an infaIble remedy.-Daihy Forum.
