of the appropriations which may be a, any time
made for the contingent expenses Of either House

House OF Representatives, nor as extra allowance
to any clerk messenger, or attendant of the said
two Houses or either of them, nor payment or
compensation to any clerk, messenger, other
attendant so employed by a resolution Of one Of
said Houses.
The friends Of the " extras" be it said, died
hard but the hackers Of ex- Comptroller W hit
tlesey were memorable; they were not to be
diverted by side issues or paltry scandals.
They resisted oil indirect extras, by monthly
allowance or so to certain committees who had
clerks that would have had no objection, of
course, to take what had been devised to the
cold regulars" but it was all no 60. Mr. Jones
urged the Senate to take up the resolution
extending the time of the clerks to committees
for sixty days. Mr.. Slidell moved that the
Senate adjourn; which motion was agreed to,
and the Senate at o'clock p. m, adjourned

DECISIONS OF THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT
The Secretary of the Treasury has affirmed the
decision of the Collector at Boston on the ap-
peal of VIM. ". Warren, subjecting to duty,
at the rate of twenty -four per cent, article
| imported from Liverpool, and described as lava
| gas-burners. The Secretary holds that as the
substance was earth it is embraced in the clas-
sifcation earthen, China, and stoneware, and
all other wares composed of earthly or mineral
sus."'-.as not otherwise provided for
| Inc Secre'--u has also affirmed the decision
4
o. fifteen per cent on cast-steu, :. oo;,s ,, for
the reason that it is manufactured by a similar
process as cast-steel in bars; and has oyerruled
the decision of the same Collector in assessing
duty Of twenty-four per cent, upon the i'm
portation of an article described hemp or
jute carpeting," for the reason that the article
is not wholly composed of hemp. The proper
rate of duty is fifteen per cent
| LATER FROM UrAH.-The War Department
is in receipt of dispatches from Gen. Johnston,
dated at Camp Scott, May %. They are said
to contain nothing relative to affairs in Salt LAX
city later than the dispatches brought by Col
| Kane from Gov. Cummings nor, indeed, any
| thing at all of public interest, except that the
| general health of the army is good. The
| movements Of the troops towards Salt Lake
| City would depend upon the success OF the
peace embassy, and, therefore, nothing was
| definitely known as to the future course to be
pursued. 1t is stated, but not on official au.
| thority, that General johnson has exonerated
| Lieut. Talmadge from censure in certain ac
| tons for which the latter had been arrested,
and has sent request to the Department ask
| ing to have the charges which were preferred
| against him, withdrawn.
The TREASURY EXTENSION. is we'll
known that, for some time past, there has been
| only small force employed on the Treasury
Extension, owing to the fact of the appropria-
ton having been so nearly expended as to pro-
hibit the continued employment of the full
complement of hands. The working men of
Washington will be gratfed to learn, DO doubt
| that Ma Or Boarman, Chief of the Bureau of
Construction intends to increase the force after
the first of July. as the new appropriation will
then be available

Fendall, U. S. NJ. c., has been detached from
