WASHINGTON, June 30, 1850.
Saturday afternoon Summing Up.
To-day the fiscal year expires, and from and
after tomorrow the government will have to get
on as well as they can till the annual appropria-
tons are made. The leading friends of the exclu
Give California in the House having resolved,
in caucus, last night, that California shall take
precedence of the appropriations, there will, no
doubt, be good deal Of embarrassment in some Of
the departments OF the government, for want OF
finances, before they get the money.
Mr.. Clay expects TO get vote on Wednesday or
Thursday next but il is cutie as likely that the
discussion viii 60 in the Senate for eight or ten
days yet; and then it is just as likely anything
else that The bill will be laid upon the table
We had the conclusion OF a speech from Honest
John Davis to-day, againss the position Of Mr..
Webster, as a Northern man, supporting this bill,
and the beginning of Il speech from Mr.. Cooper, of
Pennsylvania, In defence ~ his opposition against
the eX pressed opinion of tn late Wing State Con-
vention OF Pennsy lvania. Inns IA an up hull work
for man 10 stand out against the party placing
him IN the Senate; and Mr.. Cooper could not, Of
course, finish up his Case to-day. Mr.. Cooper
deserves large credit for his Independence, If he
should 90 for the "Omnibus;" but. looking home
ward, II would seem 10 be equivalent 10 a lack OF
discretion.
But the most amusing thing in the Senate to-day
was the speech OF Gen Houston against the Presi-
dents want OF respect tor the claim of Texas TO
the chamber, who love bit OF fun as we'll as a
good piece of beef, in a continual grin, breaking
out at intervals into spontaneous explosion. Old
lack, in his Mexican dispatches, once or twice
spoke rather cavalirrly of the Texas Rangers. a
set Of dare-dev.ils who would kit Mexican with
out any special provocaton. Old sam Jaclnto hardly
knew that IL WAS more CRIMINAL To shoot the Mexi-
cans sipgly than by hecatombs at a clip. IL was a
mere matter of killing them after all-so we snip
pose; and no doubt there Was good deal OF il done
in detail well as by wholesale; and If the rangers
were the best al the detail retail busness II was
the result of long trainingby the Mexicans them
selves.
We understand that Governor Bell, ofTeIas has
called out 1000 of these Rangers TO march 10 San
Ia Re, and as they have very grateful dispose
ton towards Gen. Taylor, his 1t Colonel Monroe,
and his 500 men OF all arms, may have some work
TO do. To meet any contingency of this sort, how
ever, the President, We learn, has ordered reinforce
ments TO the amount Of 600 men 10 Col. Monroe,
not for the purpose of fighting the Texans, but to
scare them oil and yel there Is no telling what is
TO follow. When the Texans start out on the war
path they don't like TO be disappointed. They go
on purpose TO tight.
The House disposed of the Iowa contested cleo
ton, by sending both the gentlemen claiming the
seat back again. The whole difficulty, II seems,
grew out Of the Mormon vote detachment Of
the Latter Day Saints, route TO the Salt Lake,
halted in kanesville for want OF means 10 go for
ward and they called upon and voted in the
Iowa election. The sending Mr.. Thompson out
OF his seat, home, will be the loss of one vote for
California by herself; but they have forty majority
without him.
Among the celebrities at the capitol to-day,
| were Mademeiselle Appollonia Jagea, the intre-
| pd and dashing Hungarian lluzzaT the modest
| and Quakerly looking little Miss Frederika Bre-
mer, and the elegant and graceful MISS Anne c.
| Lynch. The former, we beiiev-, is At the Irving
| House, where Count Ujhazy and friends were SO
| kindly ENTERTAINERS and the two latter, Miss Bre-
| mer and Miss Lynch, are at the National, where
we are pleased 10 announce our excellent and po-
| puar host, Captain Black, late Of Fairfield, Con-
| nectieut, is the general-in-commdnd
| The cabinet are in some uepldsuon regarding
the Galphins for that business IL the rst spesisl
order before the House. We expect, however,
vigorous effort will be made to supersede il by the
California bill on Monday next.
As regards the compromise in the Senate, its
fate depends upon the ninth part of hair; there is,
indeed, very strong impression existing that the
omnibus is dead but II is still possible that il may
pass the Senate. great deal depends upon the
