Eeae Nebraska Bill to Be LaSwrAed on Monday nes-
Plan Of Cperations-Mr. Renmetrs Land Distribution
.Sheme-Chance cf a Veto, dc.
1t has now been resolved upon not to disturb the Ne
which beyond the reach Of the House this session NOR
the House b introduced time since by Mr. Rich
ardson The plan IL to report new bill from the Com
ousy reported and to put that bill either at once on its
passage under the driver of the previous question:
to place II the Speakers table where the Senate
bill was in order to watch an opportunity to pass with
thin House, when its friends ready for action and
its opponents sick or absent from the city There Is
scarcely quorum present this moment and hence this
is the time to obtain snap judgment the question
Next Monday the committee viii be called and it has
unwilling TO yield the floor until the Committee Terri
tories shall be called Then will be the time for the friends
of the bill TO Jump from behind the ambush and 70 MAKE
may wish to discuss amend Teegraphc dispatches
have in the meantime been sent to all the absent Nom
bers within reach of the wires and next Monday will see
exciting scene in the House.
On Tuesday next Mr. BENEFITS land distribution
scheme will up, and should not be at all surprised
if his bill though rejected and reported against BY the
Committee on Public Lands, to pass The question
is how many interests can be combined in that BILL such
railroad schemes, donations Of land for colleges and
academies &c If the bill is comprehensive enough to
swallow up the whole public domain its passage insured
while the Shines fearing they should not have an
other opportunity to do There is advantage
resulting from this process:-t will soon exhaust the
public lands render the general land Office unnecessary
and save the government annually large sums for public
officers surveys maps, craftsmen advertisements, &c
IT is better that the lands should CO. than that they
should forever excite the cupdity of speculators
The homestead bill has thus far made but little pro-
grees in the Senate but the probabilities that 1t
will pass, and that the President will sign the BILL

The Mexican treaty again before the Senate to-
day. There is strong league against it, and south
railroad route and the power Of Santa Anna. TIL
Senate in the late proceedings the treaty. dsclamed
flibusterng in the most significant manner, and with
marked unanmity But still their refusal to treat with
Mexico will promote, and render unavoidable, fbuster
enterprises. But the leading antitreaty presses
distinctly place the rejection of the treaty upon the
necessity Of reducing Mexico to condition Of anarchy
and confusion with view to hasten her annexation to
this Union.
The Senate rejected, yesterday, motion to
the injunction of secrcsy from the proceedings the
treaty When the treaty shall be finally disposed of,
public curiosity will be gratfed in this respect The

The President it is supposed will be embarrassed by
the INDECENT insane land distribution bill If he 60 this
bill he will also, it will be held, stand the Bennett BILL
and finally Clay distribution bill The old States will
not longer hesitate to claim their share in the plumber
of the public domain and they offset this policy to
the excellent scheme of the land States, which gives
away all the good lands and graduates the price OF the
poor lands
