House Of Representatives., Jan. 10, 1854.


Several minor bills and resolutions were pre-.
scented, and their immediate passage urged for
special reasons when, upon the presentation
by MIR. Caruthers, from the Committee on Com
merce, of bill granting the right to way Of q
railroad through the public lands at jefferson
Barracks, Mo, MIR. Mace, and Mr. Jones OF
Tennessee expressed their determination to
oppose all action upon such bills, except after
the proper reference and in duo order.
Mr.. Stanton, of Tennessee, thought the bust
putting bills involving no doubtful principle di.
rectly upon their passage. The practice Of re-
ferring caused the undue accumulation of bills
which are finally neglected, or disposed OF
without proper attention, at the end OF tho ses-
sion.
Mr.. Millson thought the practice Of refer
ring bills to the Committee OF the Whole was
wise and judicious, and should be rigidly adj
hered TO- Great abuses arise through the vio.
lation of il. The House always had occasion
TO repent Of u disregard Of this practice. Mr..
M. cited recent cases, and among them the
bill granting the right Of citizenship TO the
children Of citizens Under that BILL SUBJ
ject Of Queen Victoria even high in official
position, and acknowledging fealty TO the
Crown, may be citizen Of the United States
Mr.. Cutting asked that Mr.. Milson would
recite the words Of the bill to this import
Mr.. Millson quoted the words, and continued
his argument, and referred to other bills also
passed in like manner He contended that by
this disregard Of rules, those who do respect
them are made TO suffer by precedence being
given to such bills as are nnduly pressed
Mr. Caruthers did not contest the general
question introduced, but urged his special
measure on the ground that i had previously
gone through the proper routine, and received
the approval Of the House, and was now only
brought up again to remedy defect that had
been overlooked at the time Of its passage BY
the last Congress.
The morning hour having expired, the
House, ON motion OF Mr. Ewing, resolved itself
into Committee Of the Whole on tho state Of
the Union, and entered upon the consideration
Of the reference Of the Presidents Message ;
when
MIR. Keitt OF South Carolina addressed the
Committee at length, commencing with re
marks upon the social and political position Of
his State He dwelt upon the stable character

THE SICKNESS ON THE San FRANcIsco.-Dr.
Buel the surgeon Of the steamship San Fran.
cisco, denies that the sickness on board was oc-
casioned by dissipation and gluttony, by exces.
sive indulgence in preserved fruits and meats,
or from drinking Of spirituous liquors. On the
contrary, it was brought ON in consequence Of
having to crowd some 500 men, women, and
children, below, after the main deck had been
carried away. The sickness was essentially
malignant cholera. Their food had been hard
bread and cold water, and nothing else.
