Proceedings of To- daH.

IL IHE SENATE, to-day, Mr.. Jones Of Iowa
submitted series of joint resolutions OF instruc-
tions from the Legislature or Iowa, in opposition
to the admission of Kansas under the Lecom pton
Constitution
MI j. stated that proper respect for hts State
made 1t incumbent on him to Law the resolutions
before the Senate, although he had not the most
remote intention Of obeyiDg the instructions
tie thought If the people of Kansas had not ex-
pressed their views on the Lecompton Constitu-
ton 1t was their own fault
These resolutions had been the result of a strict
party vote, and he believed that portion of the
people of Iowa would not endorse them
The question Of the Indiana contested election
case was next taken up, and no definite action
was had thereon when this report closed.
In THE HOUSE,, the Chair appointed the follow
ing select committee on the navigation laws of
the United States, the expenditures Of the General
Government, and the expedency of gradual alb
rogatlon OF all duties on imports, In pursuance of
resolution of MIR. Boyce, to-wit
Messrs. Boyce, s. c.; Quitman, Miss; Trppe
Ga; Garnett, Va, Mott, Ohio; Wortendyke n
j., and Spinner, of n. Y.
MI Savage moved to postpone the bill from
the Invalid Pension Committee, to provide for
pensions for the soldiers of the British aud Indi
an wars of 1872, until the 9th inst agreed to
after discussion
MIR J b. Williamson, of New York, was again
drraigned, and under oath and in writing replied
mat he was in the custody of the sheriff of New
fork, and was told not TO leave the city He did
not consider that Congress has any power to re-
private business ~ "
He expressed himself ready to answer any
question which the committee mig ht ask Droyj
ded II was not an infringement on his business
privileges; and declared that he has been guilty
OF violation of the laws

CONGRESSIONAL.

ISTHE SENATE, besides the business reported
yesterday, Mr.. Frederick presented joint resolu-
tons from the Legislature OF California, in favor
of the establishment of certain mail rortes in that
State; referred to the Post Oface and Post Roads
Committee.
The bill to promote the efficiency of the NAVY
in respect to retired and disabled officers under
certain circumstances was passed
Mr. Trumbull desired to call up question of
privilege, being the report of the Judiciary CON-
mttee on the Indiana contested election case
Mr.. Bayard, regarding the Kansas question as
far more important, and involving questions that
might affect the stability Of the Union, thought
IT should be settled first
Mr.. Trumbull Thought the reasons given by
the gentleman from Delaware in favor of allow
ing precedence to the Kansas question is the very
best that could be urged why the contested cleo
ton case should first be settled. The gentlemen
Tightfully entitled 10 seats should paric pate in
the adjustment OF the Kansas question. He moved
that the election case be made the special order
for TO morrow, at ] O'Clock
Mr.. Bayard replied that the gentlemen occu-
plying the seats contested took them under regu-
larry signed credentials and they represent
the public sentiment of Indiana they should re-
Mr. Bright was anxious to have the election
case decided, since IL has been pressed with such
pertinacity.
Mr.. Brown said that if this election case was
to be made special order to the expulsion OF all
other business he should object.
Mr. Hale urged that, as a question of privilege
the Senate il bound to dispose of il first.
Mr.. Trumbull withdrew his motion. with no.
tice that he should move 10 consider the subject
to-day.
On motion of Mr.. Wilson, the resident mes.
sage on the Kansas question was ordered TO be
printed.
Mr.. w. then proceeded to deny the statements
made in the message and attack the position OF
the Administration.
Mr.. Brown expressed cordial concurrence in
the message, and spoke at cons iderable length in
support of the conclusions advanced by the res.
ident. He had not concluded when motion was
made to 90 into Executive business
After which the Senate adjourned
In THE HOUSE, yesterday, Mr.. Savage, from
the Invalid Pension Committee, reported a bill
granting pensions to officers and soldiers Of the
war with Great Britain of 1872 and those engaged
in the Indian wars during that period 1.-THE same
that was before the last Congressl and moved
that it be recomm!tted, and postponed until the
Hth.
Considerable discussion ensued on the motion
to postpone, when
Mr.. Davidson of Louis lana called for the regu.
lar order.
Mr.: Harris of Illinois called up the report from
the Elections Committee in the Ohio cont ested
ing resolutions
Reso!red, That 1t is expedient to allow fur.
Their time TO take testimony in this case, as asked
for by the sitting member.
ReSOtred, That the parties, contestant and con.
testee, be allowed further time of sixty DAYS from
the passage of this resolution to take and return
further testimony.
After some desultory debate on this question
