New-York daily tribune., 1861-03-04

close of the seasion, aud Dir Shesman is entitled
to great credit for bis CONSTANT Viglaat, aud
successful management ef IT.
MFR. Buchanan cen; to Mr. Sherman yesterday
to ;nonire whether il would bo necessary for
him to attend at the Capitol in the evening to
sign bills, as had been customary. When as
sared that his presence was not needed, he e1-
urosyed much sstopishment at result which
was altogether unpreoeoeuted. If this practice
should be followed the confusion ana reckless egis'
Iaticp. too common IN the closing hours OF Con
gress. would be avoided, and the country saved
some discreditable scenes. The MiscellaneCus
bill after being completed, got mslad In the
Senate for some time and nccasioned much agita-
ton before it vas recovered particularly among
the lobby who are largely Interested in several
magnificent items.

t.nguished persons, dDed with Mr. Sctleiden,

THREATENING LETTERS.
Numbers of threatening letters are still sent
to Mr.. Lincoln BY oowardy enemies, who may
be interested in knowing that their moaH missives
are quietly consigned to the flames, without Civ
ing the least concern to the person most inter
esled or being any longer source of annoyance
to his family, who are not permitted TO see
them.
TIE SENATE.
The Senate spent over twelve hours ia session
yesterday, q large portion of which was con
b,. 4 IN no
galleries. Andrew johnson literally hayed him,
aud brought down such applause as was never
heard in that chamber before whom he an-
nouuced the doom which the cOnspiraiors
deserved. MI Mason exercised bis privilege in
having the galleries cleared, aud the spectacle ct
those assembled thousands quietly submitting to
the rule, after having been carried away by an
impulse OF feeling, when the Senate was utterly
pOwerless for It's enforcement, was one which no
other country could exhibit. Messrs Chandler
ard Wilkinson Denounced the SecessionisLs IN the
strongest terms declaring against any compro-
mise while the traitors stood in rebellion against
the Government
The session of the Senate tonight was rendered
necessary, because its rules require that prop
Ostion offered one day must lay over till tAe
next, ond Mr. Sumner insisted upon It's apphca-
tiOn to that now pcndicg. Beside this, the
House adjourned until tomorrow morning for a
recess 50 that, in making up the Journal, the
sine die adiourt ment on the 4tb would appear as
on the ID, unless there was some intermediate
session.
