SENATE.
FRIDAY, August 20.

The pending motion being upon agreeing to the
report Of the committee upon its motion to adhere
to the Senates amendment to the Army Appro
priation bill
Mr.. BELL, of Tennessee, thought adhsring was
not the proper manner.
The question was taken by yeas and nays, as
follows--yeas 32, nays 6.
A memorial was presented by Mr.. HOUSTON,
from the Legislature of Texas, asking the inter.
vention of the Government of the United States,
in the case of Hon. David s. Terry, now under
arrest by the Vigilance Committee of San Fran
cisco. The character Of the accused as an hon.
orable and high-minded man, was affirmed by
Messrs Houston and Brown.
Mr.. BELL of Tennessee replied and endorsed all
that had been said in reference to his character as
a man, but said he was impetuous and without
discl elton. He defended the course of the vigi-
lance committee and believed they would have
been dissolved ere this had this affair not occurred
He denied there any disoyalty upon the part of
the people Of California and deprecated any action
Of the President upon the subject.
Mr.. WELLER replied, and characterized the
Vigilance Committee as a political machine, and
believed they would remain under arms until the
next Presidential election.
Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
A bill to amend the act organizing the Terrific
ries of Kansas and Nebraska, offered by Mr. Crit
TENDEN, was taken up for consideration, and Mr..
BELL, of Tennessee, was speaking thereon when
our report closed.
