CONGRESSIONAL PRoCEEpINas.

In the Senate, yesterday, after we went to
press, the annual fertilization bill, (appropri-
ating, in all, about So, 300 ,OOO,) was passed.
The resolution of Mr. Sumner consuming the
President for giving to Denmark the notice
for the termination of the Sound Dues treaty,
and directing the Foreign Affairs Committee to
report such measures as they may think ne
cessary on the part Of Congress to mako the
abrogation of the Sound Dues treaty legal by
securing for tho action of the Executive the
concurrence of the legislative branch of the
Government Of the United States, was then
taken up.
Mr.. Sumner argued that, althoughthe treaty
was constitutionally made by the President,
by and with the advice and consent of the
Senate, it was not competent for either the
Executive alone or in combination with the
Senate to abrogate it; that it could only be
terminated by act of law-that is, by the leg
islation of both Houses, approved by the
President. He oontended that such was the
sole course permitted by the spirit Of the Con
stitutiOn, and such was the rule prescribed by
judicial authority and the uniform precedents
of our Government.
Mr.. Mason controverted the views of the
Senator from Massachusetts,, and urged that
the treaty has not so much been abrogated
by the act of the President giving the notice
as by the necessary result of contingency
provided for In the treaty itself that in fact
the treaty expired by the terms of its own
limitation.
A protracted discussion ensusd until the
hour of adjournment, in which the subject
was presented in various lights by Messrs
Fessenden, Collamer, Cass, Crittenden, Tou.
cey, and Stuart; after which the resolution was
adopted, the implied oensure on the Execu-
tive, having been previously stricken out; and
the Senate adjourned to Monday.
In the House, yesterday, after we went to
press, the annual West Point Academy and
Pension appropriation bills were passed.
The pending resolution authorizing the
Committee on Elections to send for person.
and papers in the Kansas contested election
case: being taken up, Mr.. Boyce addressed
the House at length against it, and Mr.. Bling
ham for it.
This resolution being informally laid aside
for the day, the Speaker laid before the House
communication from the Secretary Of the
Treasury recommending the construction Of
| SIX small revenue cutters for service on the
lakes, and to dispose of two large cutters nov
| employed there; referred to the Ways and
Means Committee.
Shortly afterwards the House adjourned.

IEH PAcIFIc.-It is now forty-two dayssince
this noble steamer left Liverpool. They who
are most inclined tOhope for her safety, say that
If disabled in mid ocean-for instance, BY the
breaking of her shaft,-she could not, under
canvass, have reached either coast at 80 earlv
. date as the present Another consideration
In her favor is, that her hull was divided into
compartments, which would have prevented
ner hlling, had she run foul of an iceberg.

Inc w warrington Monument.-lf anything
were needed to show the insincerity of Know
Nothingism, it may be found in the course of
the gentlemen who were sneakea into the
Board Of the Washington Monument Society,
by well-arranged party trick. The indecent
haste which they exhibited to Dust their pre-.
decessors in Office, the clustering, staggering
tone which initiated their entrance upon the
duties of their new positions, their boastful
and pretentious pronuneiamsnto, addressed
to their brethren throughout the country--all
these things are remembered, and will long
be remembered, not only by the citizens Of
Washington, but by every good and true man
who blushed to see this desecration of a work
that had hitherto been regarded as holy and
sacred. The old Board, composed of gentle
men distinguished alike for their virtue, wis.
dom and intelligence, were ordered to retire
and make way for these patriots, who were
painting "to complete at once this testimonial
OF nations gratitude" To be sure, some
were invidious enough to suggest a compari-
son with the indiscreet purchaser of certain
animal called the elephant" while a few
limited their doubts as to the performance of
these lofty promises, on the ground that thew
had often heard Of Know Nothings tearing

entered upon their labors with the Real Of

would do something which would justify the
