The State guard., 1848-03-21

in the House yesterday becomes a law It breaks up the routine of the Circuits, and authorizes the Court to sit in Wash ington until it gets through with the large amount of business now before it. This, it is estimated, will require session of more than year, without intermission.
 The quid-nuncs are amazed at the reso- lutions offered yesterday in the House, by Cooke of Tennessee, for an examination and report from the Military Committee, entirely upon the claims of our general of. ficers to the thanks of the country. This movement was doubtless designed to cover an intended attack upon the reputation of Pillow, Butler, Twiggs, flNrney and any others suspected of Locofocoism, who have distinguished themselves in this war. Pill low, however, is the man particularly aimed at. In truth, this second Con- gressional attempt to detract from his rep utation, is high compliment to the good judgment of the President in selecting him from amid the host of applicants for the station he now holds.
 By way of a beginning, the chairman of the committee to escort the remains of MT. Adams to Massachusetts, drew for six thousand dollars for its expenses on the trip! By the time he gets to Boston he will probably want as much more to get the committee back to Washington, it is thoughtby the quid-nuncs.
 This is great world we live in Un- cle San will probably bleed, on account of the death of MT. Adams, to the tune of something like hundred thousand, from first to last. This shameful waste of the public funds on such occasions is becoming so com mon, that though talked of here, no one essays to make it subject of Con- gressional comment, as it should be made, undoubtedly. l am by no means wanting in respect to the memory of the deceased. No one can be more gratlied than your correspondent, in witnessing the real de- monstlations of the people in honor of this illustrious dead statesman and patri- ot But to approve of its being made an excuse for squandcring thousands and thousands of the public money, is decided lya different thing. However, the whigs have the majority in the House, and we all know they have ever been anxious to empty the treasury.
 Scott's correspondence will be sent into Congress in few days, in obedience to a recent "call." It will be found to contain passages, to which the wonderful para agraphs of the famous Story letter" are "no great shakes" 'rhe way" he bully rags the Secretary of war, Gen, Worth, and others, is thought to be a caution.
 Yesterday Mir. Benton brought forward proposition to change the system of do- ing the Congressional printing. He in- troduced into the Senate memorial from journeymen printers, to have this work done at National or Government printing establishment, which if authorized by Con- gress, will be pretty apt to make the Con- gressional printing cost five or six times as much as under the present system.
 John Davis, of Mass, probably essay ed to-day to fasten the Wilmot Proviso on the treaty, in the shape of an additional article. and being defeated in this, ten to one, he moved to strike out the article de- fining the boundary, which if successful, would have defeated any or all indemnity. His hope was, that the provisolsts and the opponents of the treaty would join in or der to strike out the article referred to, by which means (two-thirds not voting for it on the question of its passage) it would have been adopted. Davis burnt his fn- gers.
 fancy that there can be no doubt that the treaty will be ratified.
