amusing scene occurred in the House. Mr.. STAN

cries of ''order," it alA the table. The reso-
luton for the expedition passed over, and the

census bill. Some debate occurred, when the
committee rose, and the House adjourned.
Many petitions were presented in the Senate.

should pursue. Let some intelligent, practical man
be selected to supernend and direct such an estab-

printing for that body. Such man as Richard
Sutton, who is, we believe, one of the Senate re-

will have been begun, whose blessed fruits to the
whole Union no man can estimate. The debate
on the printing was postponed until to-day. After
the executive session, the Senate adjourned.
| The Senate unanimously confirmed w. " Brady
as Postmaster Of New York. This looks rather
ominous for the confirmation of Mr. Hugh Maxwell,
as Collector of this city. II will be remembered
that Ex-Governor Young and ex-Mayor Brady
were applicants for the Colectorship, against Mr.
Maxwell, and the unanimous action Of the Senators
in favor Of Mr. Brady makes IL very clear that
there will be strong opposition against Mr..
| Maxwell, and he may be defeated in the Senate.
I Richard Wallach confirmed as Marshal
Of the District of Columbia. He is a popular
Washingtonian, and has given great satisfaction
in the performance OF the duties of his office
since he has held IT, Other marshals and post
masters, whose names we have not heard, were
confirmed. The remainder Of the New York ap-
poiniments will lie over until the return of Sc
nator Dickinson, who is absent in the South. with
the committee from the Senate, who went with
Mr. Calhoun's body TO Columbia. Mr. D. was in
favor of Mr.. Brady's being confirmed. Mr.. Clay

There is nothing required in this movement
