COOP News FROM THE CAMELs.-The War De-

region through which he passed is destined to be

of the result of the camel experiment, as follows:
" Unsupported by the testimony of every man of

have seen them do. Starting with a full determine

they are admitted by those who saw them in Texas,
to be in as good condition to-day as when we left
San Antonio. In all our lateral explorations they
have carried water sometimes for more than a week,
for the mules used by the men, themselves never

With heavy packs they have crossed mountains, as

CONGRESSIONAL

WASHINGTON, JAN. 4.-Both houses re-assembled
to-day, with full attendance.
In the Senate Mr.. Fitzpatrick moved that the Pre-
sdent be requested to communicate the correspon-
dence relative to the seizure of Walker.
Mr.. Pugh offered Kansas compromise BILL pro-
posing to admit her under the Lecompton Constitu-
tion-the slavery clause to be submitted to direct
vote OF the qualified electors on the 7th of April
next-and enunciating distinctly, the right of the
people to call Convention to amend the Constitu-
ton. "a.
Mr.. Brown, of Mississippi, commenced speech
in favor of admitting Kansas under the Lecompton
Constitution, but owing to attack of vertigo, he
was compelled to yield the floor
In the House Mr.. Clingman reported resolution
from the Committee of Foreign Affairs, calling on
the President for information relative to the seizure
OF alker also for the instructions to naval officers
inducing such course. Mr.. G.. viewed the act of
Commodore Paulding invading the Territory of Nj
caragua, as too important to be passed by with
out full investigation.
Mr.. Savage, of Tennessee, stigmatzed the Clay
ton-Buwer Treaty, as the most stupendous fraud
ever perpetrated bv Great Britain against the Uni
ted States. Mr. Clingman's resolution was adopted
with amendments.
Mr.. Kelsey offered resolution which was adopt
ed, calling the President for information whether
Nicaragua has complained of the invasion of her
Territory by Commodore Paulding.
Gen. Quitman asked consent which was refused
to introduce bill for the repeal of the neutrality
laws.
Mr. Merrill introduced bill to punish polygamy,
which was referred to the Committee on the Judi
ciary.
Other bills of minor importance were introduced
and referred.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-In the Senate to- day q
bill introduced for the satisfaction of claims made
by Americans for spoliature prior to 1901, which
was referred to select committee consisting of Sen.
ators Collamer Crittenden, Toombs, Hamiin, Hunter
Davis and King.
Nothing else of interest transpired in the Senate.
HousE.-A long debate was carried in the
House to-day, in committee of the whole, relative to
Gen. Qutman's motion to refer that part of the
Presidents Message relative to Central America and
the neutrality laws to a select committee. Qu:tman
denounced the so-called neutrality laws and said
they ought to be swept off the statues as unconstitu
tional. ...
He was followed by Stephens of Georgia, and Keitt,
both of whom severely condemned Com. Pauldng's
| action The former said that Walker and his men
| ougt to be restored from whence taken with repa-
| ration for losses.

plain? This proceeding may, too, be violation of
the Bulwer- Clayton treaty? In this point of view
hold that the Government is bound to disavow
this act Great Britain may do whatever she thinks
proper hereafter.
But again, sir we to leave to our naval off,
the discretion to do acts of this sort? 1t may
turn out that in this particular instance it will give
rise to no difficulty but if our naval officers are to
be allowed to 60 into foreign countries to make sell
cures, the result will be that Congress will be strip
ped of the war making power. Even the President
could not have authorized it and shall leave the
power to subordinate officers? 1t seems to me that
this is question of sufficient importance to Justify
its investigation, no matter what gentlemen may
think of Walker. They will recollect, doubtless,
that when Commodore Porter undertook to seize
some pirates foreign territory, he disgraced
for the act. They will remember, too, the excite
ment produced when certain British subjects seized
the steamer Caroline. We were nearly involved
in a with Great Britain because the steamer at
the time of the seizure, was on the American side
