scented by Mr.. Pepper, Of OHIO. which ne
stated was signed by the two Associate

the last Grand Jury, and number OF
other citizens. in favor of the abolition OF
the Grand Jury. The Convention resolv-
ed, after discussion, to have only morn
ing sessions. after next Monday, till 9th
erwise ordered, the argument urged by
It's supporters being to give time to the
Committees to digest and prepare reports
for action.
The Grand Jury discussion was then
resumed. Judge Lockhart. and DIR. Eos
ter, spoke against. and Col. TAYLOR Of La
porte, in favor of its abolition. In the af-
ternoon. Mr.. IIovey spoke in defence Of
the Grand Jury, but advocating its being
left an open question by the Convention.
Messrs Bascom and Wolf, also spoke
against Mr.. Pettt's resolution. and in ia
vor Of the continuance OF the Grand Jury.
Before the adjournment, Mr.. Rariden
bv consent, introduced resolutions rela-
tive to Corporations and Banks. Its pro-
visions relative to Banking authorizes the
extension Of the State Bank Charter till
1865-an increase in the State and indi-
vidual stock 10 the branches. and allowing
the Legislature in 1862 TO re-charter this
or another State Bank Judge Lockhart

which the American press is teemng. few
seem better adapted to the wants of the

numerous engravings. 1t gives general
history. both ancient and modern. of all

The first volume is taken up with an

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES., June lS, 1850.
The attendance at the opening of yesterdays
session of the House very thin, not more
than one-third Of the members being present.
This was the result Of the action of the previous
day in changing the hour Of meeting to III a. m.
MIR. CHANDLER moved a reconsideration of
the vote agreeing TO the resolution OF Mr.
SwEETzER for the appointment of a select commit
tee of FIVE, to examine the charge AGAINST the
Secretary of the Treasury, connected with his al
| legged unconstitutional appropriation of money
| from the surplus fund, for the removal (wesD of
the Florida Indians. This motion was debated at
length for hours. Messrs. CHANDLER, MooRE,
AsHmUN, CASEY, SrAuNroN, of Tennessee, Roor,
and JAS G. KING, being its advocates. 1t was
argued that simple resolution of inquiry directed
| to the Secretary Of the Treasury would prove
| all-suficient for tho ease in hand, and far more
| appropriate than the proposed arragnment of the
Secretary, on what some Of these gentlemen went
on to show, We're irresponsible charges; no mem
Der being willing, personally, to place himself in
the position of Mr.. Meredith s accuser.
The motion to reconsider was opposed by
Messrs. SwEErzER, DISNEY, THOMPSON, of Miss,
CABLE, CARTIER, and AsHE.
| The points made by the friends Of the original
resolution, that the money had been Illegally
and unconstitutionally appropriated by the Secre-
| tary, though without disposition on his part to
profit himself in so doing; that the Administra-
tion-the Cabinet-had since set the seal of its
Reproduction on such payments; having directed that
| none such should be made in future.
That the Secretary of the Interior had admitted
the dangerous tendencies of such appropriations
of the public funds; and, also, had RETAINED from
answering the written inquiry of Mr.. THOMPSON,
Of Miss, who, in the discharge of his duties as a
member Of the Committee of Ways and Means,
had addressed that functionary letter for infor-
nation on the subject.
In the course of the debate, the defenders of
the Secretary held that the question of the pro-
priety of the payment was mere question of law,
which had been construed differently by different
government officers, there having been four pre-
cedents, in the history of the government, for
the course pursued by the Secretary. The motion
to reconsider prevailed by large majority--Yeas
l25, nays 81.

The President yesterday transmitted to the
Senate the following message:
.. WASHINGTON, June Eth, 1850
To The Senate Of The United States:
have received copy of the resolution Of the
Senate of the llth June instant, requesting 'to
inform the Senate whether any orders have been
issued to any military officer officers at Santa
Fe, to hold possession against the authority of
Texas, or IN any way to embarrass or prevent the
exercise of her Jurisdiction over that country
and to furnish the Senate with copies of a,4Vacvr-
respondence which may have taken place between
the War Department and the military stationed at
Santa Fe since the date of my last communication
to the Senate on that subject
In reply to that resolution, | state that no such
orders have been given. | herewith present to the
Senate copies of all the correspondence referred to
in the resolution. All the other orders relating to
the subject-matter of the resolution have been
heretofore communicated To the Senate.
have already in former message, referred to
the fact that the boundary between Texas and
New Mexico is disputed. | have now to state
that information has been recently received that
certain Robert S. Neighbours, styling himself
commissioner ofthe State of Texas, has proceeded
to Santa Fe with Il view of organizing counties in
that district under the authority Of Texas While

dairy, and no desire to interfere with il MS oues-
ton of title, have to observe that the possession
OF, the territory into which it appears that Mr.
Neighbours has thus gone was actually acquired by
the United States from Mexico and has since been
held by the United States, and in my opinion
ought so foreman until the question of boundary
shall have been determined by some competent
authority. Meanwhile, Think there is no reason

to make an investigation in the ordinary way into
the circumstances of the case, and MIR. CnASD-
LER, instead thereof, offered resolution calling
on the Secretary for the information desired.
The debate was then resumed.
Mr.. SWEETZER jusdfying the course he had
pursued.
Mr. MEADE sustaining the views last offered
by Mr.. S. and urging the Democratic members to
stand together in this case.
Mr.. CONRAD sustained the Secretary in quite
speech, and to that end, he argued strenuously
against this proceeding, as an abuse of the power
of the House to make such Investigations.
The amendment TO the amendment, MIR.
CHAspLER's propostionl having been agreed to,
pending the question on agreeing to- the resolution
as amended, the House adjourned
Before this subject came up, however, two re-
ports were made from the Committee on Elec-
tons, by AIessrs STRONG and Van DYKE, and
both purportng to be the report of the majority.
These reports were in the case of the contested
election for the first Congressional district of
Iowa, represented at present by MIR. VIM THoMp-
spN, whose seat is contested by Mr.. MILLER.
On these reports, the members Of the Committee
we're divided politically the Wings affirming
that MIR. MrLER is rightfully entitled, and the
Democrats sustaining the right of the sitting
member to the seat.
MIR. ASfIE, u Democratic member Of the Com
mittee, is understood TO have voted in Committee
on some of the points in issue, in favor of the
claimant, and on others, in favor Of the sit
ting member-the said points having no direct
bearing upon each other. Out of this fact has
grown the difficulty, in deccidmg which is tho
majority repoft--that Of the Wings or that OF
their opponents.
