NEW YoRK, Feb. IA Petroleum Ex-
change was established in this city to-day.

nance, reported bill supplementary to the

currency by pledging o. 8. bonds, and TO
| provide for the circulation and redemption

ISOLATION not organized under the provis-
ions of this act
Mr. Foote offered resolution which was
adopted, for the classification of the two
Senators from Nevada-that two slips Of
paper be placed 10 box, the figure to be
on one of them and the figure on the 9TH
or, the drawer of number 3 to serve till
1857 and the number / till 1859. This was
done, and Mr. Stewart drew the long term
and Mr. Nye drew the short term.
The Senate resumed the consideration of
the resolution offered By Mr.. Trumbpn
Mr.. Trumbull was opposed to Mr.. Ten
Eyck's motion 10 except Louisiana from the
provisions Of the resolution. If this were
done, it would be decision by Congress
thst Louisiana was on the 9Th Of Novsln-
Der in q condition to cast her presidential
vote. .C.
The Judiciary committee, In session on
this subject, has adv aneed an expression Of
opinion as to whether Louisiana was or was
not in the Union, whatever might be the
views OF Senators as TO the organization
which had been gotten up in Louisiana
and although Congress might hereafter
have to recognize that organization as legi-
innate, it did not necessarily follow that
the condition of things in the State of
Louisiana, on the 9th of November, was
such as to authorize the count Of the vote
1t was matter of public notoriety that
| large portion of the State Of Louisiana was,
on the 9Th Of November, in the possession
OF an hostile enemy, aud there was no OPP
Portunity to vote for President and Vice
President in g very considerable portion Of
the State. 1t might be a serious question,
whether, One-hslf or two-thirds Of State
Over-run by the enemy, an election held
under such circumstances would be one
which would authorize Congress to receive
the vote of the State. When in joint con-
yention to canvass that vote, he did not
mean by his action on the subject to con
vert the Senate, one way or the other, in
regard to the organization which had been
gotten up in that State.
Ten Eyck held that the State was not out
Ofthe Union, and never had been. That no
State had actually seeded, and in the ma.
turs of the case could not; there had been
al election held in Louisiana under the
auspices of a civil government.
Mr.. Trumbell said the vote of Louisiana
is generally over City thousand.
Mr.. Ten Eyck said he knew that the entire
vote had not been cast, and great many
Of the inhabitants Of Louisiana, had gone
of into rebeldon, and many have been
killed.
Mr.. Howe explained why be should vote
for Ten Eyck to strike out Louisiana. This
statute did not deprive minority Of the
| right to GO into election, because the major
ity refuse 70 do 80, 40 thers was nothing
said as TO the number necessary. It was to
be dene by just 50 many peOPls a. thsaght
ia 10 participate.
Sir. Harris thought It was unfortunste
that ths question wss brought up. Ii Con-
gress had power to declare that Louisiana
should not vote, why had it not = right 70
declare that New York should not voter
At two o'clock the Senate went into exc
0utive session, and soon after adjourned.
