peaceful relations and satisfied that whatever
measures may lie found necessary TO insure future
security and rePose 10 the country, menacrd from
the quarter indicated, and 20 vindcate the honor
OF our flag, will be adopted by Congress; an
earnest hope both the part of the President and
Of Congress that The difficulties with Spain, re-
ferred 10 in the message, would have been adjusted
before the termination Of the present session, by
amicable arrangement, has, it would appear,
caused both to forbear until but short interval
remains between the close of the present and The
stated commencement of the next meeting of Con-
gress. The full reparation that has been demanded
! by the executive, with adequate guarantees Tor
the future, will alone satisfy the just expectations
| Of the country; and the committee would not
hesitate TO recommend the provisional measures
suggested by the President TO be executed by him
| in The Of Congress- under the difficult
lies Of maturing them, when the close of the ses-
sion is already at hand and were the interval TO
be long before the next meeting of Congress. As
! that. however, will be but four months duration,
! they have deemed it better, on the whole, to leave
the subject as it is at present, with the executive.
Should the occasion unfortunately make II neces-
sary, it must of course occupy the earliest atten-
ton Of Congress at its next meeting; and for the
above reasons the committee asks to be discharged
| from the further consideration OF the subject

OF the two Houses on the following bills, viz The
Civil and Diplomatic Appropriation Bill the Army
Appropriation Bill, the Navy Appropriation Bill
the Pos: Office Appropriation Bill and the River
and Harbor Bill The reports of the committees
oil conference having been in each case concurred
III, these several bills were passed, but will be
seen by The Message in another column that the
River and Harbor Bill was vetoed by the Pre-.
srdent.
Finding it impossible 10 have the large number
Of bills Just passed properly enrolled and exam
med, 1t was found necessary 10 extend The session
until eight o'clock on Monday morning, with the
understanding that no new business TO be
tertained after four o'clock yesterday.
The Senate have stricken out of the mail steam
er appropriation bill the provision inserted by the
House to give months notice for the dscon-
tinuance Of the allowance to the Collins line, and
the House having insisted upon It's amendment,
this subject is still undisposed OF, the committees
of conference being unable to agree. This was
under discussion when the Senate adjourned.
The resolution Of the Judiciary Committee, ad-
verse 10 the right of The Hon. Jared w. Williams
| 10 hold his seat "a Senator from the State of
New Hampshire, was adopted. The ground Of
this exclusion is similar that adopted in the case
| Of the Hon. Samuel S. Phelps, Of Vermont, that
Il commission from the Governor OF a State is
void after a session Of the Legislature has inter.
| vened without filling the vacancy.
Several private bills were passed, and the Sen
ate held an Executive session.
The House OF Representatives passed bill to
carry into effect the provisions Of the Reciprocity
! Treaty with Great Britain also, bill from the
Senate to establish additional post routes, and a
bill granting the right of way to the Marysville
and Bencia Railroad Company through lands OF
thu United States in California. Many private
bills were also passed.
Mr.. Stanton, from The Committee on the Judi.
ciarv, reported bill TO prevent and punish frauds
on the Treasury also, presented a report request
! ing the President 10 institute proceedings against
the agents. attorneys, &C., engaged in the Gardl-
ner and Mears frauds.
The House adjourned at about halfpast two
o'clock for want of quorum, there being present
at the time only ninety three members.
The remainder Of the session will not be more
than sufficient to give the clerks and committees
| Time to enrol and examine the bills just passed
Amongs, the ungracious things of the session
was the refusal Of the House to consider the Sc.
mates resolution authorizing the President Of the
! United States to confer the title Of lieutenant gen
! eral by brevet for eminent military services.
The French Sp"liaton bill from the Senate is
one OF the prominent measures which goes over
to the next session, and will stand near the heaC
