definitely having been ruled out of order,
amidst some confusion caused by various at
tempts to amend, the previous question was
divided, and the House adopted Scnatc's
amendments, with the exception OF the one
authorizing an extension Of the southwest
ern railroad. The Till was then ordered to
be transmitted to the Senate, and motion
to reconsider the order failed.
In the Senate, on the 9Th, the "Omnibus
Bill" MS received from the House, was taken
up, and after short discussion, the Senate
rccedcd from its amendment for the benefit
of the South Western Railroad. The bill is

House bills on third reading were resumed,
and the bill to establish Il Criminal Court in

WASHINGTON, Feb, 3,

Quite an animated correspondence is Ia
king place in tho Washington papers, on the
subject of the Gadsden Treaty. Some of
the outsiders, who expected to be IN torm us
soon MS the Treaty should get here, speak of
the territory of Arezonia CD being large
enough for two slave States, and that it con-
tains "ric', placers," which will be explored
bv negroes. All this is oonshinc-and not
very bright moonshinc either. 1t is the light
of the last moon in the last quarter, no
more.
The territory of Arczonia ought to be call
ed Fagendi;, for it is the fag end Of nature
with no other placcrs in it than those to be
discovered by some DR.. Gardiner, and paid
for after the same fashion. | have no doubt
that MS soon us the treaty shall be ratified Gt
suci, thing were possblc) somebody will
trump ura claim for loss of the placers which
nobody will be able to find, and for which,
therefore, the United States or Mexico will
be held responsible. 1t is not the land con-
vcyed by the treaty and the treaty itself,
which contains the placers, and they are just
worth $5,OOO,OOO.
As to tho notion that it gives us route
to the Pacific, that, too, is mOOnshine. The
proposed Southern route, as YOU will see
when the special committee on the Pacific
railroad shall report, does not require any
other portion of territory than that which
now rightfully belongs to the United States;
80 that all said on that score amounts to
nothing. We gain nothing by the treaty
but quasi settlement of fraudulent claims
under the lih article Of the treaty Of Quad
alupc Hidalgo.-Thcrc is no property in that
territory worth one per cent. of what is claim
ed to have been damaged and destroyed.
Col. Benton is preparing an onslaught on
the Nebraska bill, in conjunction with the
Pacific Railroad project. Col. Benton's op-
roeition to the bill is much to be regretted.
g.. q coalition formed by the present adj
ministration, it was blunder to overlook
and exclude the great men of the party
With the exception of Marcy, there is no
prominent Statesman in tho whole coalition;
and he, if | am not very much mistaken, is
not very enthusiastic supporter Of the Me-
