CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.

In the Senate, yesterday, after we went to
press, the resolution of Mr.. Bigler, instruct
ing the Library Committee to inquire into the
expediency of subscribing for 5000 copies of
DR.. kane's forthcoming Arctic expedition
work at SIS per copy, and Mr.. Brodhead's
substitute therefor, to appropriate S25, 900 for
the benefit of DR.. Kane, were debated be-
tween Messrs. Seward and Brodhead for the
substitute, and Mr.. Bigler for the original
resolution. Mr. Bigler, at last, accepted the
amendment, and pending the question on it,
the morning hour expired
The bill to increase the efficiency of the
army was again taken up. The question
pending was on the motion Of Mr.. Hale to
strike out the prOviso
Mr.. Brown resumed and con GUIDED the re-
marks commenced by him day or two since
on the subject of British recruiting in the
United States. He sustained with much elo-
qusnce and ability the position assumed by
Mr.. Marcy and Mr.. Buchanan in relation to
this topic; and paid deserved compliments to
the State papers on the American side of the
controversy.
Mr.. Mallory agreed with the views express
ed by the senator from Mississippi. He did
not believe that there would be any war with
England /; there ought to be none but if war
should occur, our resources would be unlimit-
ed. He alluded to the action of the Spanish
government in 1S4S, when the English minis.
ter was ordered to quit the capital within
forty eight hours, or sooner il possible, for in
terfering with the domestic concerns of the
Spanish government. There could be no i'm
propriety in sending home the British minis.
ter under our present circumstances
Without taking the question, the further
consideration of the bill and proposed amend
ment was then postponed for the day.
Mr.. Brod heads bill constituting any two of
the judges of the Claims Court a quorum for
the transaction Of business and authorizing
the appointment of an assistant solicitor
thereto, was next discussed by many mem
bers; after which the bill was passed; and
then they adjourned.
In the House, discussion on the resolution
authorizing the Elections Committee to send
for persons and papers in the Kansas con,
tested election case was continue ed by Messrs.
Purviance and Todd for it, and Messrs. Har.
ris of Illinois, and Letcher against it. Mr..
Washburn, Of Maine, next obtained tho floor,
