WASHINGTON CITY, April 16. 1856.
IL understood that large number of the men,
bers OF Congress will visit Annapolis en- Saturday,
70 view the U. y. steam frigate Merrimac, which
iies on 10 the stream from that city. 1 do not
know what particular influence this inspection is
expected to exert upon these members.
The chief point of interest in the Senate to-day
related to the still further extension of the bounty
land laws, SO as to embrace persons who did not
serve fourteen days in the army, but devoted that
number OF days to marching toward the appointed
place of muster. II was unsuccessful
8 fne House today on its part passed joint re-
solut1p ordering the purchase of fifteen thousand
c0R3sM DR.. Kane's narrative of his Artic Expe-
ditioa; think the Senate will concur. Mr.. STAN
ton. OF Ohio in an effort 10 defeat this resolution
made furious attack upon his Republican confed-
crates, whom he denounced as forfeiting their op-
portunty of asalipg the administration on charges
OF extravaganza, by their own support of meas
ures for the expenditure of money.
Mr.. Walker of Alabama in reply denounced the
thought of taking party considerations into the
count in such matter, and ably and eloquently
supported the resolution upon its merits DIR.
Kane might very properly have communicated
the matter of his book to the Navy Department
1t would then have been transmitted to Congress
as part of the Secretarys Annual Report, or
otherwise. It would have then been printed at
the expense of the Government, In an inferior
manner and at great expense. DIR. Kane had
been offered money, but had refused to accept il,
His book was to be the faithful and enduring mon.
ument of his achievements and he wished it pub
ficly certified by the action of that body as well
as patronised by the nation
Mr.. Kett, of South Carolina, followed In, per.
haps, the severest denunciatory speech ever echo
ed in the not habitually tranquil Heuse of Rep
resentatiyes. He avowed it as the popularity of
the Democratic party that they come forth with
their principles upon their banners but declared
that their adversaries Stunned all open and manly
investigation and publicly ignored the issues they
secretly cherished and covertly contended upon.
