Summary OF News.
The letter of kossa th, returning thanks TO Con-
gress sndthe government for their hospitality and
Kindness was received by the United States Senate
yesterday. From the apathy With which the read
ing Of this letter appears to have been listened to,
II is surmised that the kossuth fever has exhausted
H virulence, and is fast disappearing from the
national capital. Mr.. Mason, OF Va, expressed
his views with regard to the bill granting land
70 Iowa for railroad purposes. Mr. M. opposed
the principle Of dividing the land among the
States for any purpose, and also OF granting
large tracts to foreigners, who, taking pesses-
sion Of the soil, in large bodies, rendered
a almost impossible to Americanizs them, from
the fact Of their not speaking and writing the
English language, and of their not being in posi-
ton to become thoroughly conversant with our
laws and institutions. He preferred graduating
price, in order that tho longer the land remained
market the less would be asked for it. By this
method the good and poor would oil eventually be
disposed Of.
The debate on the muesge question was again
resumed in the House OF Representatives yesterday
MIR. McMulen, Of Va, in the course Of his re-
marks, stated that he was in favor of giving Con.
gressmen fixed salary-say 81. 600 per annum,
with ten cents q mile for travelling expenses.
The adoption Of such system would certainly
have . tendency to push the national business
ahead; bu. there is no probability that it would
meet the views of majority OF Congressman, who
depend upon making living out Of the public crib
by elop eating the sessions through ueeless debates
Il will be seen that the debate was spiced by the
Asraignment Of Mr.. Toombs for voting for the Gal
phin claim, and of Thaddeus Stevens for leaving
his seat to defend the Christians rioters.
Our special correspondent at Washington, writes
that the Senate, in executive session, yesterday,
had under consideration the nonn atoms to fill the
places Of the deposed Judges for Utah II is under
stood that Brigham Young, the Territorial Cover
nor Of Utah, has been dismissed, but that no
appointment has yet been made to ill his place
The sending of "Gentie'' officers to rule the Nor.
mon Saints will be apt to cause considerable stir
n the region Of the Salt Lake. Perhaps 1t will be
sound expedient to delegate few companies of
troops TO accompany the new civil officers, aud
assist them in maintaining and dispensing the laws
efthe land.
