Proceedings Of To-Day.
In THE SENATE, to-day, a communication
was read from the Postmaster General, trans
hitting certain information called for at the
last session, in regard to the official conduct of
the postmaster at San Francisco.
Mr.. Bigler introduced a bill to regulate the
location Of public buildings in Philadelphia !;
referred.
Mr.. Crittenden moved to take up the French
Spoliation Bill; taken up-yeas "a, nays Is.
The bill having been read, Mr.. Crittenden
stated that this bill, in one form or another,
had passed each house of Congress several
times, but had never passed both at the same
time, so as to become a law. He said that il
had been on the tspis good many years, and
had been advocated by nearly all the great
statesmen of the age, among them Webster
Clay, &c. He said that the faith of the Gov
eminent stood virtually, if not expressly,
pledged tor the payment of the claims provided
for by this bill 1t was originally understood
that they were to be paid at the pleasure of
the Government. He thought that It was time
that the Government should be pleased to, at
least, net in the matter whether it be for or
against the claims.
The subject was postponed until to- morrow
morning, and the Pacific Railroad bill taken
up.
Mr. BigIer continuing his remarks in favor
Va th0 oAit 6uSh At IouStu tudb tlS COustTuC-
ton of Pacific Railroad was a measure of
great economy on the part of the Government,
both in military and postal affairs.
In TIE House, Mr.. Colfax introduced a bill
to organize the Territory of Colonna; referred.
On motion of Mr.. John Cochrane, of N. Y.
the House went into Committee of the Whole.
and took up the bill codifying the revenue
laws, the special order for to-day.
Mr.. G. advocated its passage. He said it
proposes no change in the collection districts.
nor does it affect the revenue officers; but
simply aims so to arrange the existing laws
and modify their frequently contradictory pro-
visions, as to render them easy of reference,
distinct, and of but one Interpretation.
There can, under these codi6ed laws, be but
little danger of litigation growing out of the
collection of the revenues; and the business of
the Government, in this branch of the public
service, can be performed with greater facility
and accuracy, and with more satisfaction to
both officers of the revenue and parties with
whom they may have transactions
Mr.. G. then proceeded to illustrate the diff
culties attending the administration of the
present revenue laws, and to explain how the
codi6ed laws con tanned in this bill prevent any
such occurrences
On the conclusion of Mr.. Cochrane' s remarks.
the committee rose.
Amendments proposed by the Commerce
Committee were then ordered to be printed,
and the subject was made the special order for
next Thursday.
