In THE SENATE, to-day, Mr. Collamer pre-.
sented memorial from sundry citizens of Min
nesota praying the passage of a homestead bill
for that Territory
Several other memorials and resolutions, re-
ferring to private matters, were introduced and
appropriately disposed Of.
Mr. Houston submitted Joint resolution from
the Legislature Of Texas relative to the Kansas
imbroglio. which provides, in certain contin-
gencies, for that State taking part in a Southein
to maintain the principle Of estate rights"
which it declares would be violated should Con-
gress refuse to admit Kansas under the Lecomp-
ton constitution -
Mr. Trumbull introduced a resolution reouest-
Ing the Secretary of War to inquire if Rock
Island, in Illinois, is not feasible and available
point for military purposes.
Mr.. Mason called up the resolution for the re-
lief OF Com. T. Ap Catesby Jones.
This Dill provides for pay to Com Jones, half
pay in his rank naval officer, of which he
contends he was unjustly deprived by Court
Martial
The bin was advocated by Messrs Mason, Col
lam-r, Bayard and Crittenden. Messrs Stewart
and Foster opposed it, but ex pressed themselves
to Com Jones In some other shape. They were
unwilling to admit II as claim, as that would
controveit the sentence Of the court martial.
he bill was passed.
The consideration of the Kansas bill was then
resumed, and Mr.. Hamlin was speaking id OPP
position thereto when our report closed.
In rHK HOUSE, the consideration Of the bill
providing for the organization Of a reg iment of
mounted volunteers for the defence of the Texas
f'ontier, and authorizing the President to accept
the services Of four additional regiments Of vol
unteers, was resumed
Mr.. Faulkner opposed the bill, and argued in
favor of the increase Of the military establish
ment by the addition Of regulars. He hazarded
but little in saying that this proposition was su-
Perinduced more from outside pressure than the
Al icf 0fSQn Of
whether, II the bill should be passed. the Execu-
tive would have use or occasion for these volun-
teers He eulOgized the fatigues and incalcula-
bly, valuable services Of regulars.
He said that the Executive has plainly told
Congress that he does not want volunteers: and
gave nOticc Of his intention to Offer as an amend
ment to the pending bill, the proposition for five
regiments; that falling, he would offer his own
substitue-tO add to the regular army.

8 OiRIr or THE MORNING PRESS.


The Unton, referring to Senator Green's an
nouncement, yesterday, that the Kansas bill
will be pressed to vote in the Senate on Mon
day next, says:
pom the passage Of the bill early next week
oy the senate the scene Of interest will be trans
ferTed to the House Of Representatives Although
net formally before that body, very large pro-
portion OF Its members have already spoken upon
tne SUBJECT Ii will not, therefore, be necessary
10 Proions the debate to any great length, and we
anticipate that the bill will be pressed to final
vote without any unnecessary delay. That IL will
pass, we have no doubt Parliamentary tactics
may delay but cannot defeat that result. We are
rapidly approaching the end Of the Kansas con-
troversy."
The Union, in another article shows con-
clusively that Gov. Walker is very largely
responsible for whatever there is of division in
the Democratic party, either in Kansas or out
Of it, upon this subject of the Lecompton Con-
stitution, because he not only failed to do what
be might have done to give it fair chance
with the people and Congress, but counselled
opposition to it from the beginning, and thus
gave wrong direction to what persons and
presses he was able to control in Kansas; while
after his return to Washington be enforced his
opposition, both by voice and pen, with all the
seal and earnestness and ability which be pcs
sessed. Next to him in this responsibility the
Union places the distinguished Senator from
Illinois, who began a controversy with the Ad-
ministration at the very opening of the present
session Of Congress and thus invited division
In the ranks Of his party by making war on q
measure which has now become its established
policy.

The DIsrRIcT MARsHALsHIP.-The general
belief among the Democratic politicians of the
Federal Metropolis that the President designs
sending nomination to the Marshalship of the
District Of Columbia into the Senate in the
course Of the day, generated quite a commotion
among them this morning. They were as thick as
three in bed in the Rotunda, where they were
as busy as bees, discussing the chances for and
against this and that aspirant. Up to 2 D. m. ,
no executive message had gone in, and of course
no such nomination had been made to that
hour.

MISCELLANEOUS READING.
A GOLDEN WEDDING SONG.


Guided and guarded by our God,
Two pilgrims have together trod,
Now bright with smiles now wet with tea
Lilies chequered path for fifty years
This is their golden wedding day
Ring out, o bells, your sweetest lay,
And you, dear friends, give loving cheers,
To crown their march OF fifty years.
How few OF us saw blushing bride
And Joyous groom stand side by side
We had not known LIES hopes ard fears,
So long ago as fifty years.
Their fates were woven into one
Ere our first threads of life were spun,
And rich and rare the welt appears,
With golden warps OF fifty years.
There's frost upon their honor'd heads,
The sllveIy rhyme that nature spreads;
Put from their hearts the tide careers
Unchecked, unchiil d, for fifty years
This is their golden wedding day
Now let US hush our song, and pray
That He whose love their lot endears,
Whose grace has filled their fifty years.
May guide them stiil and still ordain
Es ch cup OF bhss, or chast'ning pain;
May soothe their grie.s or wipe their tears
Though many more than fifty years.
And when lite's pilgrimage is done,
And lite $ last goal is bravely won,
Take them to dwell in those bright spheres
Where moments grow in ttty years!
