The following additional proceedings of Congress
were received at midnight last evening-after our

Messrs. Mason, Toomb', Cameron, Hale, Reid

abolition of the franking privilege. Messrs. Davis
lverson and others favored its continuance in a
modified shape.
Mr.. HousroN would retain franking, but raise
the rate of postage.
Mr. HALE moved that from the lst of July next
franking, as personal privilege, be abolished,
and that persons entitled to frank shall re-
ceive their mail matter free. This was lost-yeas

Mr. DAVIS moved that franking, except to speci-
ally privileged persons, be abolished, and that the

time, but the yeas and nays being called on its
passage no quorum was found to be present, only

agreement to adjourn, Mr.. BRowN moved a call of
the Senate, and the Sergeant-at-Arms was sent to
summon the absentees. An arrangement was how
ever finally made that the vote be taken tomorrow
without debate.
The Senate then shortly after eleven o'clock ad-
journed.
