Proceedings of To-day.

In THs SENATE, to-day, Mr.. Yulce, from
the Committee on Post Offices and Post Roads,
reported a bill to abolish the franking privi-
lego, and for other purposes.
Mr.. Mason moved to take up the Amistad
bill in preference to the Indiana question, as
he thought it would lead to less debate.
Mr.. Seward said that he would have to sup
port his minority report in the Amistad case
which might occupy considerable time.
The Indiana Senatorial question being taken
up, Mr.. Seward was addressing the Senate in
favor of the admission of Messrs. Lane and
Mccarthy, when our report closed.
In THE HOUSE, Mr.. Soaring rose to privi-
legged question, and read paragraph in let
ter of a Washington correspondent to the New
York Times, published few days since, in
which the statement is made that in the testi-
mony before the naval investigating committee
1t has appeared that paint was taken from the
New York navy-yard and used to paint the
house in which Mr.. Soaring resides. The state
ment further asserts that the testimony shows
that laborers employed ut the nayy-yard were
taken there to do the painting.
Mr.. Soaring pronounced the statement base
ard vile SANDER, perpetrated by still baser
correspondent, and called on the chairman of
the committee, Mr.. sherman, of Ohio, to state
whether any such charge had been made to
the committee.
Mr.. Sherman replied that no such evidence
had been given, nor had any inform alton i'm
plicating the gentleman's character, in any
manner been elected by the investigation
lie said further that the committee had stu
diously avoided giving any information to the
press, and that early next week they would
report the results Of their labOrs
The House then resumed the considerable
OF the bill for the admission of Oregon, which
was advocated by Messrs. Clark, Of Mo, and
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1859-02-11
CONVERSATIONAL.


In THE SENATE, yesterday, after our report
closed, Mr.. Simmons replied to Mr.. ToombF,
and favored an increase of the tariff. He con-
Cured with Mr.. Toombs relative to the neces.
sity for curtailing Government expenses.
The question was then postponed; and
Mr. Seward made an Intellectual effort to get
up the Indiana contested Senatorial election
case.
The consideration of the Cuba bill was then
Mr.. Foot moved to amend by adding clause
to the effect that no part Of the money should
be used till after the treaty was ratified.
Mr. Pugh offered to amend 90 as to limit the
aggregate amount to be paid for Cuba to $780,
600, 600. lie advocated the acquisition. Ad-
journed.
In THE House, Mr.. Grow opposed the ad-
mission of Oregon, and offered, as an amend
ment to the bill, proviso requiring census
to be taken, and the admission to depend on
the population being equivalent to the ratio Of
Congressional representation emitting it to one
member. He strongly opposed the admission
at this time.
Mr.. Bingham gave notice that he would offer
an amendment describing the bounda aries OF
the proposed State.
Mr.. Hughes advocated the admission; and
said that the opposition to it on the Republican
side was because they were resolved to vote
against the admission Of any other new State
| whose constitution did not recognize negro
| equality.
Mr.. Nichols advocated the admission, and
| answered very completely the arguments Of
Mr.. Grow. He exposed the palpable incon.
| sistency of that gentleman's course, and at the
same time refused to recognize this as par
| tisan question, as marked out by Mr. Hughes
Mr.. Granger and Mr.. Maynard followed in
opposition to the admission.
1t was agreed that the vote should be taken
| at IL o'clock to. morrow Saturday.
The House then went into Committee Of the
Whole, and resumed the consideration of the
Presidents Message.
Mr.. LovejOy made an anti slavery speech.
After a recess till o'clock
Mr.. Keim explained his position in favor oil
an increase of the tariff.
Mr.. Taylor, of La, advocated the acquisition
of Cuba.
Mr.. Wood opposed the repeal of the fishing
bounties.
MIR. Jackson deprecated bigher-lawism--
North and South.
Mr.. Farnsworth denied the sectionality o.
the Republican party, and opposed the admis
sion of Oregon because its constitution ex
cluded negroes from the State.
Mr.. Lane advocated the admission of Oregon
Mr.. Taylor, Of N. Y, made some structures
on the extravaganza involved in public print
ing. Adjourned.
