WASHINGTON, TUESDAY,, July Is.
We have had another interesting day in the
Senate. In the morning Mr.. JeSEs Of Iowa pre-
scented set OF lsudation resolutions from meeting
in bis State, upon the course Of self and colleague
on the Compromise, and thereupon made speech
concerning which do not feel moved by the spirit
to say anything. Mr. SEWARD followed suit with
a set of resolutions, just the other way from
meeting in Utica. Mr.. CLAY wanted to know If
the resolutions contained any request that they be
submitted to Congress. They did not-merey
that they should be transmitted to the Senators
-~--s--- .Sf~S.. aVwO'Ol nvuA ssIO Va'a'
GERS of the meeting tina. they be laid before the
Senate. Mr.. CLAY had received twenty sets Of
resolutions from his own State minus the request,
and had never presented one Of them to the Senate
The request of the officers went for nothing. He
called for the rule on the subject. The CHAIR said
the rigid rule would exclude them, unless there
were request in the resolutions themselves
Containing request, they are a memorial and
may De received. As they bad been read, Mr..
CLAY hoped they would be laid on the ia
bic. He only wanted the rule enforced for the
future Mr.. DICKINSON did not care fix about
this particular petition, but he had big one In his
possession addressed to the Senator by name and
title having 10000 signatures without distinction
of party" in favor Of the Compromise. He bod
foreborne TO present it, bat if the rule were settled
in favor Of such presentation he would do So Mr..
HALE like the rsZor-strop man, had a few more
left presumed, however, In this case, not TO be Of
the same sort. Mr. FooTE hoped the honorable
Senator from N. II would not dsburse his budget
until the rule was fully settled Mr.. HALE wanted
TO know what was up. The Chair said, If no OBJ
lection was made, the SEWARD resolutions would
20 upon the table. Mr. FoorE did object. He
was tired and sick, and felt bad He was naa-
seated at the horrible nuisance of antiSlsyery re-
solutions and hoped they would be treated with no
respect whatever. Mr. SEWARD would not with
draw. They were at the mercy OF the Senate
MIR. FooTE thought, under tue decision Of the
Chair, they were at his mercy, and was
happy it was So Mr.. HALE wanted 70 know
if il was too late TO object The Chair said
objections had been made by the Senator from
MISS (Mr. FooTEl in season. As the attention OF
the Chair had been called TO the subject he would
give Iotice for the future that be would direct al
papers not addressed 10 the body TO be returnedto
SeDators presenting them. Mr.. HALE hoped the
decision embraced equally such resolutions as
those from the State OF Iowa, presented this morn
ing. Does the Senator from New Hampshire Oh.
ject 20 the decision Of the Chair y "No, | want
il applied 10 all the resolutions presented this morn
x.
The Chair was determined TO be impartial. Mr..
JONES had leave to call for his papers Mr.. SEWARD
was perfectly content. So, them from the intensi
ty of Mr.. FooTEs hatred TO Anti Slavery resolu-
tons the Senate has got rid OF what they feel TO be
terrible bore, n the shape OF 4 current Of resolu-
tons pouring in from all quarters, on all sides OF
question, absorbing the time OF the Senate and
neuualzing each other by confusing the minds Of
Senators. Whoever wants TO be heard by the
Senate hereafter must take the trouble to say 50.
But the game was not up yet Mr.. HALE had
paper which rds addressed 70 the Senate. IL was
from the eo!Ored people Of Allegheny Co. Penn.
protesting against the act OF 1893 for the arrest OF
fugitive slaves and the enactment Of other similar
measures. Il was received AID laid on the table
on the principle, as HALE says, apon which the
unjust Judge in the parable redressed the griey-
ances Of the poor woman who wearied him.
Then came Mr.. UPHAM. he held resolutions
passed by the Legislature Of Vermont They
were not addressed TO the Senate bu. 70 Senator's
from Vermont Were they excluded BY the rale.
The Chair here observed that the usage was diff
ferent with respect to resolutions from State Leg
i,lsture-thoughtt they could not be brought under
the rule declared this morning. Mr.. HUNTER
thought the rule different recolected case from
bis own State. The Char adhered to his decision.
The resolutions were read and printed for the
use Of the Senate.
Then came the regular order Mr.. RUsK had
the floor As nothing now can be said about
the claim of Texa-nothing except to repea.
the same old history Of the battle Of San
Jscinio, the sresty with Finssols, the boundary
act Of the Texan Congress in 1886, sc. &c it is un
fortunate for Mr.. RusK tina. be is compelled to
speak 20 often on the subject. Has strong point is
that there was dispute pending between Texas
and Mexico about the boundary, and thus by the
resolutions Of Annexation the United States be-.
came the attorney or agent of Texas 70 settle the
dispute, and that therefore, shs could not with
good faith and honor buy the claim Of Mexico.
This point he put in its strongest light TO day. by
asserting that the whole Of Texas was in dispute
between the people, calling themselves Texas,
and Mexico. and that il the United States could
buy part Of the disputed Territory. they might
