CONGRESS-TUESDAY

The SENATE yesterday made the Nebraska bill
the special order for Monday next with the implied
understanding, we learn that the discussion of il
will be continued from day to day until the bill shall
have been disposed of. IS .+.G .ar
The French Spoliation bill was made the special
order for Monday week. -.,.
Several private bills were passed, amongst which
was one giving haEpay for life to the widow of the
late Major General Brown, to whose distinguished
gallantry during the war of 1912, Gen Cass in ad-
Vocating the bill, paid well merited tribute
Friday of each week has been set apart for the
consideration of private bills. s.s.
The House OF REPRESENTATIVES made but little
progress with business. Among the reports was
one from the Committee on Military Affairs recon-
intending the passage of the Senate's Joint resolu-
ton authorizing the President of the United States
to confer the brevet title of Lieutenant General for
eminent services in Mexico. It was referred TO the
Committee Of the Whole, and viii come up when
the calendar is considered
The reference of the Presidents Message occu-
pied the remainder of the day, two speeches only
being delivered-one by Mr.. Oliver of Missouri
against the tonnage duty scheme, and the other by
Mr. Maxwell of Florida in favor of the system OF
giving donations of the public lands in aid of inter-
mel improvements.
e Both Houses, by unanimous consent, have adj
journed over TO Thursday, to allow members the
opportunity to attend the funeral OF Mr. Bodisco-
signal proof of the high respect in which the de-
ceased Minister was held by Congress, and testi-
nonv of respect also for his Government, which
has ever manifested friendly dispositions towards
the United States.

THE NEBRASKA QUESTION,

The determination exhibited in various
portions of the non-slav eholding States to
open afresh the slavery agitation, in con-
tempt of the solemn covenant of $50, is well
calculated 10 arouse serious approximations
in the minds of conservative and patriotic
men of every section. Il was fondly hoped
that the Compromise of 1850 had given q
final quie.us TO political abolition and secured
lasting peace upon the only subject which
seriously threatened the concord and integ-
rity of the Union. Thememory of the dark
and portentous times which preceded this
settlement is still fresh in the minds of the
people. 1t was believed by the most emf
nent statesmen Of the country that the Union
was in real and imminent peril, and it was
only by the wisdom and patriotism of the
greatest intellects of this or any other land,
that the Republic was then saved from the
horrors of disunion and civil war The mas
ter spirits who figured in that tempestuous
period, and who succeeded at last in sitting
the surging waves of fanaticism and section
al strife, have passed from the scene of ac-
ton, and we know of no men now figuring on
the theatre of public affairs, who can bring
the same abilities, influence, and weight OF
character, to resist and suppress fresh out
break of sectional discord. gst}3.5..
Indeed, if the Nebraska question shall re-
kindle again in full fury the smouldering
fires which were allayed by the Compromise
of 1850, there will be reason of doubt whe
Their any intellect, however powerful, com.
bined with patriotism the most pure and self
sacrificing, win hereafter be able to patch up
anything more than a temporary truce be
tween the slaveholding and non aveholding
States. There will, in that event, be toe
much reason to fear that the slavery question
is therock upon which this Union is destined
to go to pieces. The literature, the pulpit
and the press of the North, prove that aboli,
tion is gaining ground there, and that public
sentiment is generally and strongly opposed
to the admission Of slavery TO any territory
where it does not now exist. AS the South
will never submit to what she considers de-
gradation and injustice, a collision, full of
peril to the peace and union of the country,
seems inevitable The crisis may as well be
faced at once, and the question be decided
whether the subject of slavery is to be made
the means of perpetual irritation and vassal-
age to the Southern States, or whether their
equality and independence shall be preserv-
ed in the Union, ' -t.

The ryder was utterly inconsistent with the bill,
and added to it would have made it absurd; but it
was voted down without division, after very en-
