WASHINGTON CRY, D. CO.
Sept. 5. 1857.

II has for some time been currently reported
that new Senate Chamber and Hall of tn,
House of Representatives would be completed
in time for the conyening of the next session 0
Congress. This seems to be a mistake, accor
ding to the Union, which paper in speaking o
the matter says, sit has been reported that the
House Of Representatives and the Senate cham
Der viii be ready for occupancy by the mex
session of Congress. We would simply state
however, that it is not intended to occupy then
during the coming session, nor until that of 1855
and 1853, when it is expected that the extern
sions will be completely finished throughout
and the old halls appropriated to other purposes,
such as the sessions of the United States Su-
preme court" This will cause as much sur
prise in this vicinity as elsewhere, as the opin-
ion had become quite general that the next
Senate and House would convene in their new
halls
Mr.. Phelps, Of Missouri a can didate for the
Speakership has been in the city for several
days. His friends, of whom he has many
claim that his chances are improving and that
he will run Mr.. Orr Close if not beat him, in
caucus. Mr.. P. is an able man, and excellent
Democrat, and, if elected, will undoubtedly
I make good presiding officer. His election to
the Speakership would greatly diminish the
chances OF the north western candidates for
Clerk-Messrs Steadman, of O., Allen, of H..
and Robinson, Of Ind.,-as some Democrat from
one of the eastern States woull then doubtless
be selected for that position. The West cannot
get both of these positions; and to get either
one must act in concert.
Notwithstanding the numerous errors that
have, of late, been adoat in regard to the reno
val of certain Heads of Bureaus, the 1st of the
montlS has passed. and as yet no changes have
been, and doubt very much whether any will
besmade. A pretty strong pressure was made
by prominent Democrats against one or two
men, but, SO far, has not amounted to any thing
At most, it is but squabblc between men OF
the same State.
The following gentlemen have received ap-
pontments in the scientific party attached to the
expedition for the exploration of the Colorado
river, under the command of Lieut. Ives. Dir.

gist: Ii. B. Mohausen, of Prussia, naturalist,
(the latter was pupil of Baron Humboldt;)

Richmond, and Charles Booker, of Hampton,
Virginia, assistant surveyors
Attorney General Black has recently dclia-
cred an opinion on the right of an American
citizen to expatriate himself in reply to note
OF Count Montelas, transmitted to the Stat e
Department, through Mr.. Vroom, our Minister
at Berlin. 1t appears that one Julius Amther,
a native Of Bavaria, came to this country, and
after being naturalized, and living here for some
time returned to Bavaria, and ende avored to
regain his citizenship there. The Baravian au-
thorities, it seems, had some doubt as to wheth-
er Amther could throw off his allegiance to
this country, and if so in what manner it
could be DONE Judge Black in reply to the
above note, says that there is no statue Of the
United States which prevents either native or
naturalized citizen from severing his political
connection with the government if he sees prop
er to do SO in time Of peace, and for purpose
not directly injurious to the interests of the
country. The fact Of the remuneration is to be
established like other facts for which there is no
prescribed form of proof by any evidence which
will convince the judgment. An oath of alb
duration as test Of his sincerity. or as a neces-
sary part of his title to the future protection of
the BaVarian government may be demanded.
Whatever satisfies them ought to satisfy US,
since IN all similar cases we prescribe our own
rules for the admission of Bavaran subjects as
citizens Of the United States
The memorial from Prof Silliman and others
to President Buchanan, in regard to the policy
the Administration is pursuing in Kansas, and
the Presidents reply thereto, were published in
iulln the city papers, on Thursd ay. Most, if
not all; of the signatures attached to the me-
mortal, were also attached to the "protest' OF
famous 5000 Clergymen,' against the passage
of the Kansas act; most, if not all, of these
same men, last fall, Ministers of the Gospel
