HoUsE.-Mr Clingman called attention to
the fact that the Senate had passed joint
resolution relative to the return of the ship
Resolute, abandoned in the Polar Seas by
her crew, while in search of Sir John Frank
lin, and brought to the United States by the
whale ship George Henry. The English pa
pers, he said, were commencing us on our
liberality, and he thought no gentleman
would object to passing the resolution. Mr..
Jones, OF Tennessee, said he was not salts
lied that we have any power to purchase
ships to give away, and therefore he should
not vote for the resolution.
The resolution appropriates $400 900 for
the purchase of the ship from her sailors and
her repairs, and she is to be presented to the
British Government in token of deep inter-
est felt by the United States, in service in
which the ship was engaged at the time she
was abandoned. The resolution was passed.
Mr.. Campbell from the committee of confer
ence on the disagreeing amendments to the
Army bill, said they had met, and afterafnII
and free conference, had come to no conclu-
sion-the trouble, it was well know, grew
out of the condition of things with reference
to Kansas. The House adhered to it's own
amendments, proposing to restrict the oper-
ations of the Army, providing that no por-
tion of the money to be expended in Kansas
shall be to enforce the laws Of the body cali
ing itself the Territorial Legislature .5aT
