iure at that place, in the evening, and some of
the people assembled to hear him, but no one
appeared His clothes, watch, and about $50

The SENATE spent long time in debating
the bill to establish Branch Mint at New
York. An amendment was adopted, establish
ing Branch at Charleston and then the whole
bill was rejected 2l to 81. The opposition rest
ed chiefly on the fact that it would be very ex-
pensive, and was not necessary.
In the HOUSE, the military bill was taken
up, with the Senate's amendment postponing
the reduction of officers until after the 4th Of
March next. This gave rise to an animated de-
bate of several hours length, ending, on Mr.
Bolts motion, in the House refusing to agree to
the amendment, and in the appointment of a
Committee of Conference. The amendment Of
the Senate granting three months extra pay to
officers, was agreed to.
