HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
After some remarks by Mr.. Seward, of Geor-
gia, on practice he charged on the standing
committees, of withholding reports from the
House, on important matters committed to
them, the Pacific railroad bill was taken up.
The House proceeded to take the question
on the motion made yesterday, by Mr.. Jones, of
Tennessee, namely, to reconsider the vote by
which the Pacific railroad bill was referred to
the select committee of thirteen, and to lay that
motion on the table.
The question was decided in the affirma-
tive-yeas 95, nays 81.
The House resolved itself into Committee of
the Whole on the state of the Union, and took
up the French spoliation bill, the first in order.
Mr.. Bayly advocated it in speech, in which he
said the whole amount appropriated was five
millions of dollars. 1t was opposed by Mr.. Orr,
of South Carolina. The Committee rose and
pending motion by Mr.. Bayly to close debate
in two hours after the House shall have resolved
itself again into Committee on the bill, motion
to adjourn prevailed.

The Washington Sentinel announces that
Judge Douglas "neither desires nor would he
receive the nomination for the next term of the
Presidency" that "he looks with an eye sin

We commend the Judge for his extraordina-

rare to see public man repulsing honors
ready to thrust themselves upon him.

laid out in Texas, California, Oregon, and
New Mexico. Another item, appropriating
1925, 900 for the extension of the Capitol build

were just, and ought to be paid.
