WASHINGTON, Feb. 25, so.
There are some, who notwithstanding the
large vote by which the House tabled the bills
organizing the territories of Arizona, DacoiaF,
&c ;afswi days since, yet tslook upon the passage
ofa bin, similar in all respects, before the ad
lournment, as notOnly possible but probable.
The Territorial Committee of the Senate, it
seems, has also reported bills to organize the a.
boye territories, and it is claimed that the Sen.
atc will pass them after which the Senate bill
can and win be passed by the House i doubt
it very much, though strong effort is being
made to bring about such result. q q .ir-
1t is almost now regarded as certain that
there will be an extra session. called during the
summer--probs in June. The present Con-
greSs is scarcely making any ybeadway whatever
in the business ofIegiSation, and spending most
of its time in the vain attempt to secure the sus-
pension Of the rules 10 introduce this or that
bill, and in Offering and discussing every con-
ceivable amendment to the bills now before it.
Should the President determine to call an Tex
ira session" his proclamation to that effect
will have to leave New York in the steamer
which Sails.oAs the 5th of next month"; in order
to reach California and Oregon in time, or else
those States will have to go unrepresentated.
The last Reception for the season took place
at the White. -Hoasc.o on Tuesday evening. 1t
called together the largest crowd which has
assembled in the Executive Mansion for long
time. The President was kept busy receiving
the guests from the time the doors were thrown
open (8o'clock) until the hour came no oclockl
for the crowd to retire. 1t was ruinous place
for h-crinoline, and Notwithstanding the
gaIantry possessed by the male SEX it was i'm
possib!e.to keep a sober countenance when look
ing at the dilapidatcd condition in which some
retired. The roundness was all goneand naught
was to be seen but fat snTTaees. 8
The army appropriation bill was passed by
The House on Monday last, after having been
cut down one million below the estimates of the
department., by cutting appropriations for re-
pairing and manufacturing the arms, &c. The
navy appropriation bill to is meet similar fate
when it comes up. Isn't it a little singular
that these gentlemen who are so loud in favor Of
cutting down the appropriations, take mighty
good care not to touch any in which they them.
selves are concerned? .t..E. t.e.
Kansas was again made the subject Of Sena-
torial discussion, on Tuesday and Wednesday
last. An nappropriation bill was before the Sem,
ate, when Mr. Hale offered an amendment to
repeal so much Of the English bill which pro-
vldes that Kansas shall not be admitted unit ii
her population is sufficient to entitle her to one
This brought up the whole
matter, and for two days the debates seemed
but repetition Of last winters proceedings

Opposition nomination for the speakership of the

this Investigating business, Nor will it have
