/"
During the morning hour, Mr.
Howard offered resolution reciting a.
the judgment OF the Senate, in the
present disturbed relations Of the Gov.
ernments of the United States and
Great Britain, the recent appointment
OF a High Commission for discussing
the subjects difference between
them, was highly anspicious
event; that the British North American
possessions are in their very nature an
obstacle to the permanent harmony
of the two Governments, and recon-
mending to the Commissioners TO pro
vide Tor the cession OF those possessions
to the United States, and throwing open
the free navigation OF the waters in
that region.
Mr.. Howard asked unanimous
consent to proceed to the consideration
of the resolution OF Mr.. Cameron. Oh
iected to, and the resolution went over.
The legislative, executive and judicial
appropriation bin was proceeded with
and various amendments Of minor im'
port we're acted on, including one for
the general increase OF salaries Of the
heads Of bureaus and other officers in
the executive department. which, after
lengthy discussion, was repealed
Upon the bill being reported from the

cepting those upon which special vote:
were requested, including the regola
ton Of the judicial salaries and touching

claims. The latter repeals the provis
ion of the law making their possession
an evidence OF disloyalty. Withou
disposing OF the bill the Senate after a
short executive session adjourned
