The Senate did not sit to-d day. and the House;
after considering one or two private bills, also
adjourned until Monday.
a statement is going the rounds Of the papers
that the President will veto the bill granting
ten million of acres of land to the several States
for the benefit Of the INDECENT insane cannot
learn that there is any authority for this as
sertion, and do not believe it. That Franklin
Pierce bids fair to sink to q lower unpopularity
than John Tyler found, is true; but he will
hardly venture to hasten his descent by such an
abuse of power. Besides, although himself a
weak and conceited man, he has some able coun-
sellers about him to whom he occasionally de-
fers, and they will undoubtedly remind him
that, if crazy folks can't vote-this being the
point be chiefly regards--yet, they have friends
and kindred whose sympathies it will be unwise
to disregard.
The committee on Foreign Affairs will not
NEEDLE with the Black Warrior case. The In
telhgencer copies your excellent summary of
this case, and the public here agree that, to
take back the ship and sue for an abatement of
the fine in the court of mercy, is such 8 finale
that the cdsns telll would not stand we'll for us
in the eyes Of nations abroad; however, it
might answer for such members Of Congress and
Filibusters as are anxious to take Cuba first and
nave explanations afterwards.
Al secret effort is on foot toreyive the Nebras-
ka bill in the House, by sort of legislative
sleightof hand. The plan,as disclosed by X, of
the Baltimore Sun, is as follows: When Com
nittees are next called for reports, they are to
give way, one after another, until the Terrific
rial Committee is reached, and then Mr.. Rich
ardson is to present q aeW Nebraska bill, fresh
from the mint, with, perhaps, the Clayton
amendment device struck out, and upon this the
House will be dragooned into a vote. This may
work, but it is more probable that Mr.. Rich
ardson will only rehearse the labor of Sysiphus
and find the bill rolled back again into
Committee Of the Whole. The Union and Star
are, however, calling upon democrats not to
leave the city, and the President is busy dick
ering offices for votes.
The bill which the Senate passed., day or
two since, to reward the discoyerer of ehloro-
form, rs used in surgery, by bonus Of $sl00, 000
was laid on the table in the House this morning
by q vote ESQ to AZ.
T. One of the California members introduced q
bill this morning, providing for weekly mail
between New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore or
New Orleans and San Francisco; the cost not
to exceed $250,000. The bill was postponed
until the first Monday in June.
The snow has finally left this latitude, and
nature is putting on her Spring garniture
Farmers are behind hand with their work, and
much has been done which will have to be gone
over again, owing to the injury of frosts. The
winter grains, rye and wheat look well in this
vicinity, and there is still some fruit in good
localities.
The Hippodrome is to be opened Tomorrow,
with all sorts of animals, whipped and starved
out OF their nature, to make sport for the Phil
stlnes. CHRoNIcLER
