CONGRESSIONAL

In the Senate, Tuesday, the vote on postpon-
ing the thirty million appropriation bill for the
purchase of Cuba, was 33 ayes to % navs.-
This was test question and the result is most
gratifying to all opposed to illlibusterism as it
puts an efectual end to executive forays upon
Cuba
The same day Mr.. Hale moved an amendment
to the Legislative and judicial appropriation
bill, repeating the restriction to the admission
of Kansas imposed by the English bill. The
Senate thereafter soonadjourned. Wednesday
was chiefly occupied in debate upon this prop
osition, and democrats took occasion 10 define.
defend, or denonncc squatter sovereignty. The
difference between the views of Mr.. Douglas ON
che one side and Brown of Mississippi, Mason
of Virginia, Gwin of California and others on
the administration side was irreconciable.-
The amendment was then lost, Messrs. Douglas
and Broderick alone voting with the Republi-
cans.
1t is now generally conceded that there will
be no change in the tariff this session. The adj
ministration is to be kept up and the govern
ment wheels moving, chiefly by borrowing.
