cnNGRESSInNAI

SESArE.-Mr. Bright having returned, Ar.
Stuart resigned the post of President pro tea,
and Mr. b. was again elected. lie made n short
address, citing precedentS to show that IN con-
ferring the appointment upon Mr. Stuart, he did
not intend to assume any authority that did not
belong to him and which had not been hereto
fore exercised i'll similar cases.
The ChaiT laid before the Senate the reSoiU-
ton of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, III
reference to the assault upon Senator Sumner,
which was read.
Mr. Butler said they contained foregonec con-
clusiOn, because they pronounced Judgment be-
fore the subject had been investigated, aud he
called it an insulting nloclerv for the legislature
to ask the Senate To investigate the matter after
they hal pronounced Judgment upon it. He
would move to lay the resolutions on the table
and to he printed Agreed to.
Fifty-four thousand copies of the agricultural
portion of the Patent Office Report was ordered
10 be printed
Mr.. Crit:endcn moved to take up his rcsolu-
ton from yesterday proceedings.
Mr.. Ynrr hoped that the consideration Of the
resolution would be postponed for few days,
rs not half thc Senators seats were filed.
Mr.. Clayton said if what was proposed should
! he done at ALL it was important that it should be
at once; he anticipated a benefit from the reso-
luton, ani hoped it would be adopted. The
sending of Scott TO Kansas must have t!!c effect
Of calming the public mind.
Mr.. Brown opposed taking Up the resolution,
believing that the Interference OF tie Senate IN
this matter would be calculated 10 Increase the
alarm. lie did not believe such To be the state
of affairs in Kansas as to call ior such eXtraor-
binary proceedings. He was not willing TO as
sumo any part of the Executive functions, and
would leave the subject with the President He
was against mingimg the responsibility of the
executive AMI legislative branches; and if any
difficulty should cDsue, he wanted TO knowwho
to blame
Mr. Bell, Of Tenn, remarked that it was not
known but that the majority Of the Senate was
i'll favor of the resolution. He would ask the
Senator from Mississippi Brown, vino had sad
that the proceedings in Kansas would not iuSti-
fy this course, whether lie dill not credit the &c
counts daily received from both side; relative TO
existing difficulties riot, ard hoodShed! IN
view OF these things, no Senator can doubt that
they demand immediate consideration.
Mr.. Brown replied. to very limited extent
he credited telegraphic accounts relative TO the
disturbances in Kansas, lie believed that part Of
them were manufactured for the occasion, it had
been so heretofore ami W;S very likely to be so
now; he was not prepared to cast ccnsurc upon
the President, but understood blythe country, a
the expression of opinion of the Senate, that
the President has not performed his duty as he
ought 10 have done.
Mr. TouccY knew Of no power in the Senate
10 act in the manner proposed more than would
b. possessed by an equal numbered citizens as
