WEDNESDAY,. July 2S. ISIS.

SENATE.-The Senate was opened at the
usual hour, with prayer by the Chaplain.
Roll called and Journal read.
Mr.. NORTON rose and said, that he NOV
cd to reconsider the action Of the Senate on
yesterday, in regard to reconsdering the vote
by which the 30!h standing rule was amend
ed. He gave his reasons for moving the re-
consideration at greater length than we are
able to report. The points, however he
made. were-that the whole proceeding was
illegal and incorrect. lie proceed to show
that the Chair had violated all precedent and
custom in making a ruling to force the mea-
sure through, and that it was made up ard
concocted to rush the thing through under
the coalition between the President and the
members who had given birth to it in caucus
to stife the voice of the minority in an I'M
heard of and outrageous way, and TO trample
on tie rights of Senators whom they knew
would oppose it. He proceeded to show,
also, where every parliamentary law had
been violated and outraged by the majority
and its instructed chairman.
Mr. LINDSLEY rose to second the motion,
and proceeded to show farther how every
rule OF the Senate which related to the matter
had been violated and ignored in the pro-
ceedings of yesterday, by the Chairman. He
declared such conduct was too outrageous
to be borne, or winked at by the people.
They would brand with ignomny and politi-
cal death every Democratic Senator who had
advocated this scheme, and also the Lieut..
Governor who had assisted in it.
Mr.. COWAN replied, arguing that the
proceeding should remain on the Journal as
they are, being regular and correct.
Mr.. HUDSON also spoke to the matter
under consideration, and was followed by
several Senators on both sides.

The Hudson Bay Co. and the Frazer
River Mines.

The following paragraph is from the Wash
ington correspondence of the New York
Tribune:
Since the rush of emigration from Callfor-
mia to Frazer River has occurred, and the
Hudson Bay Company have attempted to in
terpose obstacles, our energetic authorities
here are beginning to wipe their official spec
tacles, and to hunt through musty domes to
discover the bearings OF their charter, and
inquire what degree # protection may be
afforded to those enterprisng Americans
who are now deserving one set OF mines in
pursuit Of richer veins. That charter will
expire next year, and there has always been
a certain degree of doubt as to its potcn
cy beyond certain limited urisdiction-
1t has stretched with elastic convenience,
just as British pretepsions have done in
Central America, where they now quadruplc
the original claims described Oh their own
maps That the effect of this movement must
be serious on the production OF gold and the
population Of California is attested by the
fact that the deposits of gold dust at the mint
and private assay Offices have already dimn-
ished about 100000 a week. or at the rate
of sol 100000 year. Whether California
is to he compensated for these two sources
of loss by increased trade with the new re-
gion, remains to be demonstrated. Thus far
the price of labor has been materially affect
ed there, for the wages of all mechanical!
trades have advanced nearly % per cent. at
the first bound.
