more hopeful of the success of the measure be-
fore the expiration OF the present session.

have reported bill for the relief of Sweeny,
Rittenhouse, FAINT & Co., who claim indem-
nifty in consequence of an alleged violation of
contract by the secretary of the treasury, in
not adhering to his proposals for the ten mil
lion loan OF 1858. The bill directs the secre-
tary to refund the one per cent. deposited as
security by the bidders, and defers the ques
ton of consequential damages to the court of
claims for adjustment.
The House committee on public eXpendi.
lures have examined seven witnesses on the
subject of public printing. They will, proba-
bly,, at the end OF this week, make a report,
showing the extraordinary profits and the de-
moralizng uses to which portion of the
money has been applied.
About thirty of forty or more cases affect.
ting California land claims, have been argued

The decision as to few of them will establish
the principles applicable to all.
The discussion of the Mexican treaty has

to the time required by the state department
for transcribing the additional documents on
the subject called for by the senate.

more properly called the Red.eyed Cica-

ed by others. Now as its last appearance
In this section was in l842, according to
the popular notion they ought to visit us
again the present summer. 1 have always
held to this opinion myself, from the fact
that ! never met with single individual

observer Of such things--since l843 un-

capturing what supposed to be the first

OF a countless host, from the ravages of
which our forests and orchards will suffer.
Of course it Is too soon for them yet to
make :heir appearance in the open air.
The one that | captured to-day was In
