IN SENATE.

Mr. GwIN moved to dispense with the usual morning
business in order to proceed at to the consideration
Committee Finance Mr.. HUNTER who desired to make
remarks that he should have proper opportunity
Of being heard which could scarcely be done unless al
lowed to proceed ut once.
Mr.. MANGUM requested Mr. GwrS to withdraw that
motion for a moment to which he acceded; when
Mr. MANGUM observed that il had been the usage for
years past upon the meeting Of National Convention
TO select candidates for two Of the highest Offices in the
to avoid passing upon important matters Of legislation
with thin attendance, perhaps bare quorum and he
moved that when the Senate adjourn II be to meet on Wed
nesday next
Several voices " Why not say Thursday"
Mr. MANGUM From the harmony existing in the De-
mocratc party supposed day would be sufficient to
enable them to make their nomination However, avail
myself Of the suggestion, and win modify my motion SO
as TO make il Thursday instead Of Wednesday
Mr. BUTLER was disposed vote for the motion IL a
different had been assigned by the Senator such
as aordng an opportunity for cleansing the chamber or
removing the carpets or the like He did not like the
idea of the Senate adournng for such an avowed
object that indicated by the Senator from North
Carolina.
Mr.. CASS II has always been usual to adjourn over
for few days in order to have the chamber ceansed and
ventilated in the weather. and perhaps there could
be no more appropriate than the present II
special order be necessary, will make that motion.
The CHAIR. That is not necessary If such be the
understanding the carpets will be taken up without
Mr. HALE. If we adopt that what plausible ex-
cuse can we find when the Wing Convention meets
The questionwas then taken on Mr.. MASoux's motion
and decided in the Affirmative.
Mr.. GWIN renewed his motion to dispense with tho
morning business and after brief discussion Ii was de-
cded in the affirmative by vote Of 23 ayes to 10 noes

that II has been found difficult TO obtain crew for the
Mississippi She has Mt present board only four regu-
lar seamen, the others being ordinary seamen andsmen
and boys and consequently the steamer is to return
forthwith to New York to complete her crew

SPIRIT or THE PRESS.

Our own idea of the Bill now before Congress for
the partition Of the Public Domain is, as our
readers partly know, that its ehect-f it have any
effect beyond the engendering Of an injurious spirit
of speculation in land donation claims, (soon to be
made land-warrants) --instead Of encouraging COM
merce, manufactures, and all other branches Of in
dustry as its title imports, will be to decidedly de-
nress every one of those interests besides deprvng
the United States, and in proportion each Of the
thirty-one States, of some hundreds of millions Of
dollars, which would otherwise accrue to the Trea-
sury and for which substitute must before long be
enacted in the form of direct taxes or in other
form even less known Of late in this Government.
We are also further of opinion, that, instead Of
granting homestead out Of the Public Domain"
to all who are landess, it will have tendency to
uhsette the homes Of a great many honest persons
who have bought land with the hard earnings of
honest labor, by bringing into competition with
their property land held by persons who will have
received it as national aims, and, in many cases,
as reward for the Incidence and improvidence
which have prevented them from acquiring land
property, as others have done before them, by the
sweat of their brows.
Such are the lights in which the measure presents
itself to us. We beieve-indeed we may say that
we know-that the Bill received the votes of some
members Of the House Of Representatives under an
idea that such measure, if not called for by the
voice of the People, would be at least generally APP
proved by them. This we believe to be an entire
misapprehension of the general public sentiment
The National Reformers," as they call themselves,
who desire sundry other National g Reforms" be-
sides this-as we have already shown, and will here
after make more clearly appear doubtless approve
it. 1t is article of their creed But, in careful
ly noting, we have done, the tone Of the Public
Press throughout the land it is surprising how lit
tie commentator, out Of the !" Reform ASCOT
ations," the measure has excited It would be diff
cult, indeed, to designate single press not devoted
to the Isms" Of exotic origin and growth, which,
having even cursorily examined the bearings of this
measure, does not disapprove of it.
The Public Press, taken by surprise by the rapid
movement executed in the House of Representatives
BY means Of the Previous Question in regard to this
measure-breathless, as it were, with astonishment-
has not yet generally spoken out That it has
spoken here and there, however, very Ineligible
terms, will be sufficiently made known to our
readers by the subjoined excerpts from number of
papers which have fallen under our observation with
in the last few days
FROM THE PITTSBURGH COMMERCIAL JOURNAL.

The HOMESTEAD BIL-This bill, as it passed the
House, is published in the Washington papers is but
few years since this homestead scheme considered
one Of the widest dreams of the ultra reformers and
now we find bill embodyng the main points of the orgi
nal plan passing the lower branch of Congress by
of one hundred and seven to ffty-sx!
We believe this bill is exactly what the National
Reform Party DESIRE but they express themselves high
ly pleased with it. 1t is certainly the bodest step that
has yet been taken in compliance with the popular theo-
res of social reform 1t thus possesses importance
which imperatively demands its publication in our
columns.

GIVING AWAY THK PUBLrc LAsDs.-The United States
House Of Representatives by vote Of 107 Sc, have
passed shat is called the Homestead Bill or more pro-
perly speaking, the bill to rob the old thirteen States
first Of their land then Of their money and lastly Of their
population. 1t provides that any person who is the
head Of family and citizen Of the United States any
person who is the head Of family and had sgn6ed his
intention to become citizen prior to the first day Of JAN
