$780,, WssHNGroN, Feb. II.
Mr.. Jones, of Tennessee, introduced resolutions
declaring that Congress has not the power 10 regu-
late the Naturalization laws but that IT'S guafan-
tied to the States The Resolutions were laid over
The bin to give three years credit lof duties On
railroad iron was discIssed Z . :
The President has approved The bill comforting
the rank of Lieutenant General on General Scott.
The House passed the bin making appropriations
for the Transportation Of the United States Mail by
Ocean Steamers, and otherwise, during the fiscal
wear eading the 30th of June, 1856 The bill ap-
propriates for the transportation of the mails from
New York to Liverpool and back, $S5S COO; and
the provso contained in the first section of en- Act
entitled Gan Act to supply deficiencies in theaP-
preparations fer the service of the fiscal year ending
the Both of June, 1852, is repesd, provided that
Edward K. Collins and his associates shall proceed
with all due diligence to build another steamship
IN accordance with the terms Of the contratc, and
have the same ready for mall service in two years
from aud after the passage of this bIll; and If the
said steamship be not ready within the time above
mentioned by reason Of any deglect or want of
diligence on their part, then the said Edward h.
Collins and his associates shall carry the United
States mails between New Yoik and Liverpool,
from the expiration of the said two years, every
fortnight, free Of any charge to the Government
anti the new steamship shall have commenced the.
said mail service. The bill also appropriated for
transportation ofthe mail from New I ok to New
Orleans, Charleston, Savannah, Havana and Cha
gres and back, $4,000; for transportation Of the
mails from Panama to California and Oregon and
back, S32S, $50; and for carrying out the ccntIact
entered into by the Post Office Department under
the provisions of the act approved on the Both of
August 1852, establishing Fri monthly mail by
steam vessels between New Orleans and Vera Cruz
via Tampico, SEQ 750 and it further approprates
for the transportation of the mails in two steamships
from New York by Cowes to Havre, and back, at |
S75, 900 for each ship under the contract with the
Ocean Steam Navigation Company of New York, |
$50, 000 FOR transportation OF the mails between |
Charleston and Havana, a sum not exceeding $50 !
900; and for transportation of the mails across the
ItshInus of Panama, $4,000.
The President sent into the House his veto on
the French Spoiation Bill. He says that the
Constitution does not compel him te sign any bill |
which he cannot approve conscientiouslg. The bill
does not pay the claims, but only compounds them
If the claims arc just at all it is disgraceful to
the Government to compoud with claims for So
900 600 Such a law would be a perpetual bar to
Justice Moreover, these claims were never deemed
by any President worthy Of recommendation.
The veto message caused considerable excitment,
but the House adjourned without having taken any
action thereon.

ing nature. Tunnclling and quartz crushing

activity.
The grain crop throughout California had
been considerably injured Ivy the smut and
rust and grass hoppers. In some districts the
wheat was almost entirely destroyed in
others it was quite good. There was some
difference of opinion as to whether the supply
of grain would equal the demand
