THIRTIETH CONGRESS.
SENATE.


The Senate was called to order, and proceed
ed to the morning business.
Mr. Johnson called up the resolution de-
handing of the President the nominations OF
officers to the army which had not been sub
mitted to the Senate.
Mr.. Allen opposed the resolution zealously
thought it ought not to pass.
Mr.. Reverdy Johnson followed, and made
an able defence of the resolution contending
that the Senate had Alright to know why the
President had not sent in the nomination OF
Pillow, Cushing, and others. 1t was the first
in the history of the Government that such
important nominations had been made.
Mr. Johnson, of La, rose to reply, but on
motion of Mr.. Hannegan the bill relating to
Yucatan was taken up.
Mr.. Lewis offered an amendment to the
amendment which provides for no violation of
the important principle of our Government, of
non-intervention. He contended that Mexico
owed protection to Yucatan, and as we had put
down the ability of Mexico to afford that pro-
lection, we owe the people of Yucatan all ne
cessary protection.
| Mr.. Davis accepted the amendment.
Mr.. Niles spoke in strong terms of opposi-
ton to the original BILL He ridiculea the idea

great variation, even within the limits of Of

OF which are, age, seq, position, muscular

the time of birth to that of death, the pulse
is (ceteris paribus) every year becoming
fslower, SO that while in the newly born infant

age we find il between so and 60. A moments

THE N. Y. CATTLE MARKET.

The various modes of computing the weight
and value OF the animals sold which are EN-
ployed at different markets, must otter per-
| pick and mlslead reader moi specially made
acquainted with them. AT each market, cat
tie are reported as selling at so much per
hundred weight, and Boston prices are often
If not generally lower than those of n. York
though the cattle sold at Boston (Brighton)
are generally driven by it not actually bought
here The reason is that here nothing but the
naked beef-''the four quarters'-is counted
and paid for in the Cattle Market-the hide
and rough tallow being thrown into the buy
err; while in Boston ''the fire quarters are
counted-that is, the hide and Talow are
computed on the selling weight and so paid
for by the purchaser. On the the other hand,
"a New York hundred weight is 100 pounds
avolrdupois; i'll Boston it is ll2. Gin Phla-
delphia, we believe 'the four quarters only
are counted, while there the hundred weight
is IL pounds.)
! The cattle are sold alive, thus paid for and
driven off by the purchaser, though only the
four quarters are allowed to enter into the
computation. The rule is that 100 pounds
in the gross weight on the hoof will give So
pounds Of beef, though the best cattle will OF
course exceed while the poorer will fall be-
low this standard. Generally, however, the
parties agree on the weight as well as the
price in making their bargain, SO that few
cattle are actually weighed out to the purcha
ser.
The spectacle afforded by the cattle market
on sale day is an eliminating one. Here are
drovers from Kentucky, Ohio Illinois, and
Western New York, who have been from
three TO eight or ten weeks on the road, (driv-
ing on long routes only 10 or IL miles per
