and protection. Mr Archer talked of the
independence of the legislature over the ex-

went into a defence of ‘Capt _'I" and con-

The Revenue bill was again taken up, the
question pending being on the motion ofMr

Mr Bagby spoke for two hours on the

amend by striking out seven (the value per.
lb.) and inserting five cents.
Mr Mc Riberts moved an amendment to
include tea and coffee among the free articles.
The questions were taken separately on
making tea and coffee free articles, and de-
cided in the negative by similar votes as fol-
lows : yeas 20, nays 27.
So a duty of twenty per cent. ad valorem
is iiriposed on these articles.
Messrs Wright, Rives, \Voodbury and
Benton offered various ainendiirents, all of
which were rejected by decided votes. But
one or two amendments have been made to
the bill.
Mr Benton gave notice that he had many
more amendments to offer, which would
consume much time- On his motion the
Senate adjourned.

attempts to take up other business, the bill

The question was then taken, and seven
Senators voted for the amendmentand thirty

The. bill was then reported to the Senate

The House then ‘took up the Senate bill
providing for the reductionand reorganiza-

The question was first put on the amend-
ment of Mr Mason, abolishing the 2-] regi-
ment of dragoons on the firstof October next.
The vote was yeas 100 nays 69. So the
amendment was concurred in.
After a concurrence in some unimportant
amendments, the question was taken on the
amendment proposing to strike outtbe 2d
section ofthe bill, which provides for :1 mil‘
itary superintendence of the U. S. armories.
and substituting a section giving the superin-
tendents of the nrmories $1500 each; the

Organization ofthe House ——Tlie com-
mittee proceeded to consider the bill regula-
ting the taking of testimony in cases of con-
tested elections.
The first two sections of the bill relate to
a subject of much importance not embraced
in the title of the bill, viz.—tbe mode of
organizing the House, and identifying mem-
bers, at the commencement of a session. It
will be recollected that at the comiiienceincnt
ofthe 26th Congress, the famous New Jer-
sey case presented an obstacle to the organi-
zation ofthe House, and was finally decided
by excluding both parties from participation
in the organization of the House.
This bill'provides that it shall be the duty
of the officer or board, authorised by the laws
of the several states, to make the final canvass
and determine and declare who is electeil to
the House of Representatives of the United
States. to transmit an authenticated copy of
such determination to the clerk ofthe House
of Representatives, who shall prepare a list
of the members elected for the organization
of such House.
But ifsucb otficer or board shall neglect
to perform that ‘duty. then the clerk shall
make the list from the best evidence which
he can obtain.
These provisions afford no adequate secu-
rity against the recurrence of just such a
case as the New Jersey case.
Some. debate took place in Committee on
these two first sections, but no question was
taken.
FRIDAY Aug. 5.
Mr Preston from the military committee,
reported the Army Retrenchmcnt bill as

secondary interest had been disposed of,
The Senate took up the Tariff bill, and
Mr Calhoun of S C made a speech of great
length and ability in opposition to its passage
and to all protective duties whatever.
Mr Benton now made a heavy speech
against the bill, and against both Protection
and Land Distribution. Mr Evans of Me
answered him, and the debate was flJl‘ll't('l'
protracted b_y Messrs \Voodbury against, and
Evans and Simmons in favor of the bill, and
others. At length, the argument being
exhausted, the Senate came to :1 direct vote
on the question, S/tall this bill pass ?——it was
decided in the affirmativu, yeas '25 nays 23.
