FROM WASHINGTON. The Committee on
Territories reported Governor Shannon's nom

of opposition from the Republican side OF the
chamber. The senators opposed to the nomi-
nation, will strive to transfer its consideration
from secret TO public session. Upon this point
the whole Kanzas and Nebraska battle will
have to be fought over again. 1t is a great
mistake to suppose that it is even settled in
the Senate.
Senator Douglas has written to some Of his
democratic associates that he desires the post

from the stfong tendency Of the plant to sucker
and spread. The soil, such as would be Sc

prepared and manfred before planting; the
yield is from eighty to one hundred bushels
per acre. Extending his experiments to the

THURSDAY, Feb. Z.
SENATE.-Mr. Vass submitted a resolution
directing the Committee on Naval Affairs to
consider the expediency of an increase If the
navy.
Nj. Bayard introduced bill providing for
the public printing, engraving and binding.
The resolution directing the Committee on
Finance to prepare and replrt the General
Appropriation bill was considered
Mr.. Seward said that since the foundation
OF the government no appropriation bill has
originated In the Senate. 1t was an ancient
and established principle that the money of
the people shall not be drawn from the pub
lie treasury without the con ent of the re-
personalities of the people, and the spirit of
the Constitution requires that the old estab-
lished plan shall be adhered to.
Mr.. Hunter denied that there was any diff
ference, as far as the question of power was
concerned, between bills for the relief of indi.
vduals, and general appropriation bills.
The resolution was supported by Messfs
Ioombs and Toueey and opposed by Messrs
Sumner and Wilson.
Mr. Sumner SAID it was an imopportune
time to propose each great change for the
first time, when the popular branch of Con-
gress promised to differ from The Senate on
great questions of national policy.
The resolution was adopted.
HoUsE.-Mr. Grow gave notice of his in.
tention to introduce abill to secure homesteads
to actual settlers.
Mr.. Wilson gave notice of the introduction
OF bill to repeal the act authorizing the es-
Enlistment OF the Naval Board.
The Speaker was authorized to appoint
Standing Committees.
Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, moved areconsider
alton OF the resolution for the election of Prin-
ter. Agreed to, by l02 against 81.
Mr.. Campbell then made an Intellectual eff.
tort to consider the Senate's joint resolution
for the relief of thespoor of Washington and
Georgetown.
The questian then required on the resolu-
ton forthwith to proceed to the election of
Printer, pending which the House adjourned
till Monday.
