Mr.. Chase having thu floor moved 10 amend the
i4th section of the bill by striking out the words
whlch declare The Missouri Compromise Supe rec
deu ny the principles of the acts Of 1850, known
US The compromise ncis He SAID he had ON a
FORMER occaSunrepelieu the personal assault ma de
ny the Senator from Illinois, and he now moved to
stflke out from the bill assertion which he in
tented to-day 10 be historically and in fact without
foundation. He said during the debate in .85U,
on the compromise acts, the idea was broac,-
ed or hiHed az by either lhern or Nortle. n
men, TREND or opponent, that the Missouri Com
promise III, any way was superseded OF elfe cted.-
NO one ever alluded 10 such contingency in de-
bate. The late distinguished Senate. from Ken
lucky, who reported the bill, never advanced in
debate i'll the Senate. or in conversation in or out
OF the Senate, any such idea although the Senator
from Illinois had yuinly eudeavored TO bling buck
the dead in support Of his position.
He appealed 10 all who were in the SENATE tlu-
ring the memorial agitalionS of 1885, whether they
had then or since, until this bill was introduced
ever dreamed that the Missouri COMPROMISE was
repealed by the act of 1850. As TO the address is
sued by himself any others, to which the .nator
had taken such exception, he boldly reaSserted the
Statements there made, and SAID they were facts
which the Senator could not overcomr--he nIlphl
as we'll attack Gibraltar.
HoU lE.-fhe House went into committee of
the whole on private calender, &c bills were passed

ton requesting him 10 communicate to the House.
It compatible with the public interest any cores
pondence that may have occurred letween the
State department and The American Charge a,
austria, with reference 10 persons claiming the
protection oil this government. Among the doct,
inentS transmitted IS q despatch FROM Henry K.
Jackson, the Amencan Minister at Vienna, in
Which says TO MIR. Marcy, TINT recent difficulties
Letween the government of the U. S. and Austria
have evidently effected for the time being the in
tercourSe between American citizens and Austrian
authorities and that the former have naturally be
come more than ever Jealous OF their right. He
then speaks of another case of complaint made 10
The legation, which he says may demand a more
serious consideration, made by Simon rouSg, rem.
IeSenting himself as an American citizen and as
having been furnished with passport from the
State Department at Washington, and yet MIR.
jackson says that unless he has erred with refer
ence to the date OF his going 10 America, that he
had not Remained sufficient time in the country 10
become clllzen i'll accordance with the law. Mr..
} enclosed copy OF the letter to the Austrian
Minister OF Foreign Affairs, presenting the crcum-
stance OF the case and adds that h hopes the ind-
Sdual may be permitted TO leave the Austrian do
nnions, BUTT is more than probable, lie continues
that at the present time the Austrian government
will be particularly sensitive upon matter touc-
ing the citizenship oil one who was Formerly an
Austrian subject acquired under naturaiizu ton
laws, and that will insist upon retaining possess
sion OF his person. Should The facts OF the case,
as they may hereafter be developed, confirm the
statement of Tousig, serious leston may arise
for settlement. Tousg, i'll his letter dated Prague
states that in 1S49, he came to the United States

pariment in aShington, and went back to Austria,
TO conduct helpless family, widow and five
young children, 10 their relatives in Prague. The
police, lie says, obtained possession ofhls passport,
and refused TO return it 10 him, ''you are an un-
lawful emIgrant aud ought TO be punished, and you
cannot become Il citizen of any other country be-
fore you get the consent of your sovereign" He
relates his VAIN efforts 10 get back his passport,
aud appeals to the American Minister for an III
tolerance OF his official authority.
The letierOf Mr.. Jackson 10 The Austrian au-
iho:lties concludes with expressing expt citation
that no further obstacle will be offered 10 Touslg,
but that his speedy departure Tor the United State
will be permitted. second letter from Mr.. Jack
son states that the Austrian Govern ent Gains
Tousig as subject and as Il fugitive; that he mad
been away from the country Jut SEoIt lime, not
long enough TO become an American citizen. Mr..
Marcy wrote letter 10 Mr.. Jackson, dated The
10th inst, in which he says he las examined the
case, and regrets 10 find that il IS which will
not authorize a more effective interference than
that winch our Charge has already made in his be-
half ii is true, he says, that rOuSig left this coun-
try with passport, but as he was not a natural
