A message received from the House OF Represent
stves by Mr.. Mexican, chief clerk, announcing TO the
Senate tha, the House have passed bill giving further
time for satisfying claims for bounty land, and for other
purposes in which the concurrence OF the Senate re-
quesled, ~

The Senate then proceeded, as in committee Of the
whole, to consider Senate bill No 30beng "bi for
the re,e OF Thomas Marson Taylor reported by Mt.
FrsH from the Committee on Naval Afairs ls3
The bill authorizes the reimbursement OF Losses sus-
tanned by this ndvidua purser in the navy by reason
OF his making deposes of treasury notes in the Phenx

able and proper expenses he has actually incurred in
the prosecution of suits to enforce tho supposed priority
of the United States over other creditors.
Mr. HUNTER asked for the reading of the report;
which read

Mr. HUNTER II seems to me this is a dangerous

for the purpose OF recovering The money they have lost
