CONGRESSIONAL.

WASHINGTON, May IL, p. M-HoUsE.-
The Speaker decided that the pending bill
was not talked of yesterday.
Mr.. Barksdale replied if this decision
was right, action on any bill could not be
concluded.
Mr.. Grow said there were fifteen or
twenty thousand persons in Idaho, and ar
gued that if the general government has
power to acquire territory, it is its duty to
make arrangements by which settlers can
be protected by an established government.
This bill was the most mysterious one of
the series
Mr. Clark OF No. said every foot of Idaho
is within the organized territories of Utah,
Kansas snd Nebraska
Mr.. Case spoke IN favor Of the bid, saying
Pixies Peak is nearly six hundred miles from
the capital OF Kansas and the people there
now have their own provisional government
in defiance of existing law. He controvert-
ed Mr.. Thayer's views about territorial ju-
risdiction and hinted that the latter was not
sound in the Republican party faith.
Mr.. Houston charged partizan motives on
those who supported the series of territorial
measures, and moved to table the Idaho
bill. Carried by 81 against rs.
The House then went into committee of
the whole on territorial business. Several
bills passed, including those providing for
the building of roads in the territories of
Washington and New Mexico.
Adjourned.

sa5~ We publish this morning some
what lengthy article from the Cincinnati
PolksbIaH in reference to the opinions held
by Judge Bates on the Naturalization qurs-
ton. 1t will be seen that il contains com
pete relut9ton of the charge which has
been urged against him, that he was in ia
vOr of extending the term of naturalization
from five to fourteen years. Mr.. Bates :
record on this, as on most other public
measures upon which the people have been
divided, will be found to he as near right as
can well be conceived. 1t has been thor
onghIy investigated hy those anxious to de
tect flaws, aud yet it is only the brighter
from the furnishing it has received. We
submit the article to the careful perusal OF
those Germans who have hcret fore regard
ed Mr.. Batess views Oh the naturalization
question with suspicion.

occupied i'll the discussion of At motion to

that Conference, to the special Committee
which was ordered some days since to con-

The discussion was participated in by
Messrs. Osborn, Reddy, Hibbard, Curry,

they didn't send him to the Legislature; but
they ought to remember the past.
MIR. Raleigh, after some trouble, got res
oiution through recommending Squire
Stinson for Judge, and Mr.. Shanklin tackled
on Mr.. Lewis's name for Prosecutor, pledg-
ing Mr.. Lewis TO support the nominee for
Judge. This brought Mr.. Lewis on to the
stand. He withdrew his name from the
Convention. he authorized no one to make
such pledge for him. lie signed the letter
to Judge Pitcher after every lawyer in the
District, OAo competent for the office had
agreed to support him, and he would stand
by his pledge. He had sworn in his wrath,
and ratified it in his GOODNESS, that he would
never again vote for an incompetent Judge.
He would not obtain the nomination by de-
c.ption. If the party damned him for this
act, young though he was, he could stand il.
Mr.. DENLY was called out by remark of
the Sheriff, aud made the speech of the day.
He declared emphatically that he would
vote for Pitcher over Stinson, be the conse-
quences what they may. His speech was
short but appropriate and telling, and was
warmly applauded.
The meeting adjourned in much bad feel
ing, the sheriff and Stinson,s friends con-
siderably damaged by the encounter. The
end is not yet. There is hope for a pure
and able Judiciary, when Democrats can
talk as boldly as on Saturday.
