The AdJonrnsnens Resolution ia
tho e-wiggintOn'- settlers
Bi,I.
WASHINGTON, April l7th.-The
Senate resolution to-day proposing |
he final adjournment of Congress |
IN the 10th of June, took the House |
by surprise, but it was
quickly perceived to be capable of
use as an effective means of smoth-
sring the tariff bill, the leading OPP
pononts of which Immediately de-
manded the yeas and nays on Fer
nando Woods motion for its refer
ence to the Ways and Means Com
mittee. Nearly all the Republi.
cans and all the anti-!arifl' bill
Democrats, with only two
or three exceptions, united
in sufficient force 10 defeat
this motion and during the subse-
quent long parliamentary struggle
thus maintained majority of 80
or 40 votes against all Efforts TO re-
fer or amend the Senate resolution.
Finally, however, they allowed the
question to go over until to-mor-
row, when it will come up imme-
diately after reading the journal
and, as soon as flibustering ter
inmates, vote must be taken upon
the motion to concur without
amendments. There is, of course,
every indication at present that
this motion will prevail, in which
case The tariff bill may be consid-
cred the same as absolutely dead
for this session and for the whole
Congress also, as the next session
will be too short to admit of the
possibility of action upon it. A
majority of the Democrats. aside
from their views on the tariff ques-
ton, greatly dislike the stand taken
by minority of their number
as concurrence in the Senate reso-
luton will to large extent place
it in the power of the Senate to de-
feat House measures by non action,
without apparently assuming any
responsibility therefor and willalso
inevitably compel the House to
forego the consideration of some
pet measures of the Democratic
majority, by reason of the evident
lack of time TO pass them and the
regular appropriation bills also.
An earnest effort, therefore, will be
made in caucus Tonight to devise
some means of rallying all the
Democratic members to oppose so
early an adjournment. To this
end q proposition will be offered
for a formal postponement of the
tariff bill until next December.
The House Public Lands Com
mittee to-day agreed to recommend
for passage Wigginton's bill for the
relief of homestead and pre-emp-
ton settlers on restored railroad
lands and for the repayment of the
fees and commissions paid by in
nocent parties for entries of spuri-
Gus homestead scrip, etc.

NEW YORK, April 18th. The
Public says that banking exchanges
for the week ending April 18th re-
fleet the same condition of bust
ness which was observed during
the first week of April. Returns

waukee, 14.7; indianapolis, 1851
Lowell, 100. AS to the general
condition of business, the aggre-
gate exchanges still show decline
slightly greater than the decline in
prices since last year, but this is in
part due TO smaller transactions in
stocks at New York. The aggre-
gate for eighteen other cities show
loss somewhat smaller than the
decline in prices.
