Mr.. Yuco submitted n joint resolution fo'
the termination of the present session OF
Congress on the 18th of August.
In the House, the Chair stated that the
first business in order was the report Of the
select committee on the Galphin case, and
the proposition Immediately pending was the
motion of Mr.. r Hing To postpone the con
sidcration of the subject until Tuesday two
weeks.
Mr.. Doty moved TO Law the whole sub
icct on the table. The House refused to do
so by vote of ~ in the affirmative and
l67 in the negative.
The Chair then stated that the question
was on the adoption OF the following rcso'
buttons, reported by the majority OF the Sc
lcct committee, Of which Mr. burt WAS
chairman, viz
l. Resoired, That the claim Of the repre-
scntativcs of Geo. Galphin was not just
demand against the United States.
2. Rcsolrcd, that the act Of Congress
made It the duty of the Secretary OF the
Treasury to pay the principal Of said etn''n'
and 1t was therefore paid sin conformity
with law and precedent
=. Res bred, That the act aforesaid d'd
not authorize the Secretary Of the Treasury

Seasons :--Thc Grand Caucus of all
the ,ncmbers of both Houses, which was held
this evening, nominated for Judges of the Su
prcme Court, as | predicted in my letter of
Saturday, Messrs. ROYCE, Gu. J., RFprrLD
and Bennett; an there would seem to be no
reasonable doubt of their election tomorrow,
though the nomination Of Judge BENYErI was
stoutly resisted by respectable minority, who
preferred somebody else The vote, under
stand, stood -5S for Judge bennett and 46
for Judge KELLOGG. Less than half the mem
bers were present, but those who were yoIun-
tarly absent have no reasonable right to object !;
and, therefore, it would seem TO be easy to pre-.
dict the ultimate result.
The Caucus adjourned without designating
the Candidates for Circuit Iud -es-.though a
strong express sion was given in favor of Judge
POLAND for the 4th Crcuit--a tribute TO which
Judge POLAND has entitled himself by the in
dciatigable industry and ability, which marked
his administration of the high duties that de-
volved upon him under the old system. That
Judge POLAND is popular Judge cannot be
denied, and that he has honorably won the pop
uar favor with which he is regarded, is equally
