Thirty Sixth Congress. LIST Session.

10y udJoiiiS VI tHo " uuc, TesO!ullOu'
were adopted in the House on Wednesda
week, condemning, in suitable terms, tht
conduct of the Secretary of the Navy and
the President, in the contracts with
olive Oak" Swift, and in the distribution
of Navy-yard patronage to political parti
sans, for the direct purpose of influencing
elections.
Daniel Clarke, (Republicap) of New
Hampshire, was on Monday reelected U.
S. Senator, by the Legislature of that
State, for six years from the 4th Of March
next.
We publish the report of the minority
on the Harper's Ferry Investigation Com
mittee iu full, and also an abstract of the
report Of the majority of the Committee
Both reports concur in statements that no
evidence exists of completely in John
Browns incursion, except that of the i'm
mediate parties to it. Neither has any
testimony been aiduced upon which to
base even suspicion that other citizens
were knowing TO the plot in which Brown
was engaged. The whole scheme of the
investigation, which was toinvolve leading
Free State men 10 Browns invasion, thus
falls to the ground. There seems to have
been no connecting link between Browns
band and Northern men anywhere. The
insulation seems to have been perfect.
Not only are no Republicans implicated,
but nobody is implicated. Brown seems
to have carried his conceptions in his head,
and his instruments in his hands. Outside
of the band he headed, be appears to have
relied wholly on the slaves themselves.
He trusted nobody with his plans, and
nobody was possessed of his secrets, SO far
as the Committee of Investigation have
been able TO discover, after long, labori-
Gus and sweeping iuqniry.-N. J. Tribune
Thaddeus Hyatt was released from pris-
on by unanimous vote of the Senate.
This was matter of course, as the Har-
per's Ferry Committee, on whose account
be was incarcerated, have completed its
labors and made its report.
The Covode Committee have discovered
that 1900 men were transported from New
York to Connecticut in March last, to carry
the election for the Slave Democracy.

ter Of Va, argued tha: no change in the
Tariff was required. Messrs. Bigier, Cam
eron and Seward replied at length. The
motion to postpone was agreed to by a
vote of 25 Yeas-all Democrats-to 23

put themselves On record against, and the

T. Mr.. Hamlin was present and voted with

Hon. I. Z. Blair of Missouri has re-
signed his seat in Congress, to take effec'
