author with oathlng, contempt and scorn.
The identity of language, Of sentiment and other cir
cumstances plainly enough indicate the author have
little doubt he is Of the Editors of The Express and
here pronounce under all the responsibilities that can
appertain TO me, that he Is mendacous calumniator
devoid of all the essential principles instincts and feel
ings of a gentleman Of honor. That Editor OF The Er
press, take to be Member of the House of Rep
Tcsentatives.
CHAIR--Wc cannot permit such Ian
:suage; it Is altogether out OF order.
Mr.. MANGUM-I am aware, Sir, that 1t
is out of order-and am done.
The matter here dropped.
The CHAIR laid before the Senate re-
port of the Secretary of State of the number of passen
gers arrived in the United States for the year ending
Sept 80 1851.
MIR. BRopHEAD offered a resolution in
rng into the expectancy of increasing the salary OF
the District Judge OF Western Pennsylvania. Agreed to-
THE AProRrIoNMENr BILL
The Apportionment bill, fixing the num-
Der OF Representatives for California and South Caro-
lima, taken up.
The question pending was on the amend

Of population. This amendment was rejected
Mr.. BRADBURY then offered substitute

sent provided for giving South Carolina the Member for
her fraction and adding Member to the whole number
mNkng it 23i-the additional Member being allowed to
California. This was agreed to, and the bill was or
dered to be engrossed
DEFICIENCY BILL.
The Deficiency bill was then resumed,
the question pending being on the amendment granting
further aid TO the Collins line of steamers.
Mr.. BoRLAND raised a question of or
der that this amendment made appropriation called
for by existing law, and by no estimates from tho
Departments and was therefore out of order.
The CHAIR said he could not decide
whether there was an estimate for it or not.
Mr.. BADGER said the Senator from New
Jersey would in his speech show that an estimate for
This had been made by the Department
The CHAIR overruled the point of order.
Mr.. MILLER said he was one of the ma
jorty the Finance Committee who had reported this
amendment He then stated the existing agreement
with the Collins line for carrying the mails in their
steamers. Everything the line agreed to perform had
been done they had accomplished the Transmission of
