SENArE.-Mr. Bell of Tenn, by direction
OF the Naval committee, reported an order
that the Colonel be empowered to send for
persons and papers to Kansas.
HousE.-On motion of Mr.. Tyson. the Lii
brary Committee were instructed to inquire
into the character of the work about to be
issued by DIR. Kane, on the Polar Regions,
with view of ordering copies for members.
Two thousand copies Of the report Of the
majority and minority of the committee on
election in the Kansas case were ordered to
be printed.
Mr.. Brown made speech in defence Of the
administrations course in the CLAYTON Bull ]
wer treaty and enlistment question.
Mr.. Stewart said it seemed to him that
this was opening door which was never to
be closed. He did not perceive how the
granting Of this.power could lead to beneficial
results.
Mr.. Bell replied that every individual who
feels that his character has suffered under un-
Just imputaton and who demands inycstiga-
ton, has right to it.
The subject was laid aside and the Senate
resumed the consideration of the bill to APP
propriate $3,ooJ, 900 for altering and manu-
featuring smal arms, and providing the sea-
coasts and garrisons with guns, accoutre-
ments, and munitions of war.

The MayUralty.

The Times is excessively troubled about
the nomination of Col. Curtis, and is ex-
tremely denunciatory of those who partlci-
pated ia bringing his name before the public,
stlgmatizlng them as conspirators against
the Democratic party, as managing trick to
foist Republican upon the city under no.
party cry, and says that it Is, out and cut, a
Republican maneuyer and nomination. So
far, at least, as any Republican party inhu-
ence il concerned, it il grossly and notorious
II untrue. Democrats occupied the chairs,
made the nomination, and controlled the
meeting. 1t was not Republican nomlna-
ton. Ii was not made under Republican aus
pices. 1t was no party maneuver intended
to work advantage to the Republican cause.
We utterly deny and disclaim it. The nomi-
nee and those who made him such disclaimed
as utterly as possible any reference to parti-
zan sentiments or feelings. Every body pres
emf saw with their own eyes and very we'll
that it was not so. Nothing could
be farther from the truth. So the Times
will be driven TO some other line Of attack on
the nomination than this.
