Darling Cora Lyle +!

All what a glorious summer morning.
The sun had Just risen above the hills, and the
air was SO soft and balmy. A summer NOM
ing in the conntry-you can imagine it. No
wonder then, that Frank Linwood, as he stood
upon the portico of the home of Ella Benson,
gazed with admiration upon the scene before
him, for he was an ardent admirer of Nature,
and one that could appreciate its varied charms.
Franks parents lived in the city, and at the
earnest solicitation of his good uncle, seconded
by his fair cousin Ella, he had arrived the day
before, to spend few weeks with his rela-
tives in the country.
He was soon joined upon the portico by
his cousin Ella, who was pleased to see him
stirring SO early.
sAh, Frank, said she, artlessly, placing
her hand within his own, Il am indeed glaC
to find you up already. The morning is thu
most delicious time to be abroad in the coun

ued, glancing archly at Frank.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.

The House resumed the consideration of the bill of the
Senate granting portion of the public lands the State
OF Wisconsin to aid in the construction of railroad and
branch railroad in said State the question being the
motion that it be committed to the Committee of the
Whole on the state of the Union.
Mr.. DISNEY then concluded the remarks commenced
by him yesterday He argued the power of Congress
make such grants those proposed in the BILL aud cited
Mr. Calhoun to prove their consttutona!ity, and that
not only 1t competent for Congress to donate the pub
lie lands in the proposed in the bill, but it was
their bounden duty do when grants of this character
would enhance the value of the residue of the public do
main in the vicinity He considered such reasoning sound
and declared that this power had been exercised by
Congress The power of making these grants in order
to enhance the public lands had been acted upon
By the Government since it had domain In con-
cuson he advocated the policy of these donations and
demanded the previous questions but withdrew 1t at the
request of .-... r..
Mr.. EASTMAN, who briefly explained and advocated
the BILL and renewed the demand for the previous oues
ton, in accordance with promise he had made to Mr.
DISNEY. ..,... ....
Mr.. LETCHER hoped the demand for the previous
of the Committee Public Lands might redeem TO the
House his solemn pledge that debate should be heard on
this bill.
The question was then taken on the demand for the
previous question: when the House refused to second the
same.
Mr.. LETCHER said that it seemed to him the policy
adopted regard this bill clearly indicated the neces
sity examining of this kind when brought be-
fore the House or its consideration It seemed to him
to impose upon this body the necessity of referring all
such bills to the Committee of the Whole where an op-
portuniy would be afforded to discuss and examine their
merits The proposition pending was brought be-
fore the House by the Committee on Public Lands when
member had opportunity to examine into its prin-
ciples and Details and, after speech from the gentle
man from Ohio, mr. DISNEY, and another from gem
tleman who had interest in the proposed road mir
EASTMAN after speeches all upon one side an attempt
had been made to gag every body opposed to the hill to
stop all debate aud rush through under the operation
