Day, $e. Se.
Excepting the speech of Mr. Webster, settling the
constitutional law respecting the propretorshp Of the
public lands in California as inevitably attaching to
the United States excepting this judicial speeoh Of
Mr. Webster. and very good tempered but decisive
speech Of Mr.. Bsrnwell upon the Missouri compro-
mise the day has been wasted In tho Senate upon fri
volous explanations.
General foote was twenty times on the floor, at
tacking and explaining, and his colleague Gen. Davis
kept him employed in this way till the adjournment
Some Of the observations Of Gen Davis were In bad
taste, such ~ his calling the letter writers OF
scsvengers and such very broadly iHsnusting that
somebody pays money to FJ Grund to abuse the said

racy Mr. Grund being an intimate friend of General

another view. They betrayed good deal of
account Of these same writer's and their abuse
Of the sad Senator as q disunionist, and what not

presents the public opinion Of Mississippi 20 The
lockers exceedingly ridiculous and frivoous aud
the Senate was clearly out Of pasnoe that such dis
pute should cost them the loss OF q warm dinner.
But the main current Of the debate to- day, shows
very distinctly that the trouble not over and that 1t
Is still question whether anything nothing will be
done this session
Meantime, the House Is wasting time upon con
tested election case while the Gaphins the cabinet
