The House has been engaged to-day, in part, upon
the "Bil to pay the officers of the Revolutionary
army" which went through every stage but the final
passage which was only prevented by its not being
enerossed which was an oversight in its chief man.

morning probably, without much opposition 1t is
estimated that there is not far from FIVE million dollars
due the descendants of these officers for services rem
dered the country, and which the Government until
now has neglected topaz.

to furnish the new members OF the XXXlVth Congress

ding that the new Members have the right topurchase

to Mr.. Toombs's Border Rutian Bill for subdung
Kansas 1t is now certain, beyond doubt, that this
infamous measure cannot pass the House The Kansas
