Mr.. Walbridge, Of New York, delivered
an address while the House was in committee
on the Army bill, on our neutral rights in
the pending European war, and our relations
towards Cuba.
Mr.. Raffin got up discussion on Know
Nothingism. He regarded the punder as
the aim aud end of the organization, and the
editor Of the n. Y. Herald as having done
more to further the progress Of the order than
any other man.
In the present state Of parties, however,
Know Nothingsm is a subject very tenderly
handled, consequently the subject was soon
dropped, and the House fell back upon the
first and last resort for relief from Congress
sional dulness-the slavery question, with its
Kansas N ebraska-M Missouri compromise Fu-
gitive Slave adjuncts, and its long catalogue
of collateral concomitants, winding up with a
catechetcal exercise on Know Nothngism,
All the Senate's amendments to the bill
relating to the carrying of emigrant passen'
gers were agreed to- as was also the amend
ment to the post-offi bill, authorising q
monthly mail between San Francisco and
Oregon.
The House having refused to concur in
three Of the Senate amendments to the Army
bill, one of them being an appropriation Of
$50 900 to test the employment of cameis on
the plains, committee of conference was
ordered, after receding from the military
academy amendment.
The motion to reconsider the vote whereby
the report of the conference committee on the
bill relative to swamp lands was adopted, was
rejected in Senate, "a to 81; so that the loca-
tors and purchasers of swamp and overaowed
lands receive the aid sought for.
The old soldiers Bounty Land Bill, and
the bill carrying out the Convention of
Claims between Great Britain and the United
States, were passed. Also the District OF
Columbia Judiciary bill.
The consideration of the general appropri-
alton bill was renewed, and on a motion to
reconsider the vote striking out the tariff
notifications, Mr.. Cooper commenced a
speech with the avowed intention of talking
until the expiration Of the Thirty-third Cons
gress. This course, If persisted in, would
have carried over several important bills, to
the serious embarrassment; of the public busi-
ness, and the complete overthrow of the
schemes of the lobby. So the friends of free
trade caved in, and the tariff resolutions are
postponed to the next Congress.
The Virginia Land Scrip bill was laid on
the table, as was also Mr.. Benson's Lobos
Island claim.
