CONGRESSIOAL.
Correspondence of tlie New York Express.
WAsuiNG'I'ot\'. June 16.
I sent you‘ the proceedings of the two
Houses of Congress up to the adjournment
this morning,—in the Senate at2 o'clock,
and in the House of Representatives at 3
o'clock. Both Houses will meet to morrow
—the Senate at half past 9, and the House
at 10. The President left the Capitol with
his Cabinet at 3 o'clock this morning. the
former having signed about fifty bills. The
Appropriation bills remain to be signed. _
The proceedings in the House will give
you the record of a most disgraceful session.
The dangerous destructive and disorganizing
character of Loco Focoism was never more
conspicuously displayed.
In the Senate every thing went on pros-
perously and harmoniously, with the dis-
play of less acrimony, perhaps between the
Executive and the Senate, than upon any
previous occasion. With two or three ex-
ceptions, all tho appointments rt-ceivt-(I were
acted upon, and the great majority of them
confirmed.
EXECUTIVE NOMINATIONS.
Rejeclerl.—James Green, of N. J., as Sec-
retary of the Treasury; A. B. Meade, Ap
praisers of N. Y; Mr. Christian as Jlldgf‘
in the place of the Secretary of the Navy:
Mr. Collier, do do do; Luther Hamilton,
ex Custom House officer nomiizated as chap-
lain and rrjected.
Confir-merl.—--N. 1’. Tallmadgr’. Of N Y.
as Governor of Wisconsin, confirmed unan-
imously; Isaac Tallmarlge, Secretary of
ditto (son of Hon. N. P. '1‘); Mr. Davis,
Postmaster at Troy; Thomas Barrett, Col-
lector at New Orleans (a merchant and a
democrat, a very moderate and fair man);
V. Levingston, of New York, as Appraiser
of New York; George M. Bibb, as Secreta-
ry of the Treasury,unanimously: Mr. Hali-
burton as Judge of Va. in place of Judge
Mason, Secretary 0fNavy: Jeremiah Towle

LAID ON THE TABLE.
Chancellor Walworth, of New York, as
Judge ofthe Supreme Court. M r._ King, of
Pa. as Judge of the Supreme Court. Mr.
Cushing and Fletcher Webster, not yet act:-d
upon. .
Nine O'clock. —The Senate pgtstponed
Executive business for one hour, and pro-
ceeded to public business. During this
hour the calendar was nearly cleared of pri-
vate bills passed by the House, and thus an
immense deal of good was done to scores of
suffering claimants.
Half Past 9 0'clock.—James Green
having been rejected as Secretary of the
Treasury, a message was read from the
President (who was in the Capitol during
the evening) nominating George M. Bibb of
Ky. a presiding Judge, as Secretary of the
Treasuary. It is doubtful whether he ac-
cepts. Mr. Bibb is the man who re-
cently wrote a Texas letter. Here is his
reward.
The doors were altern .tely opened and
closed until two o'clock. An immense
amountof legislative business was despatched
including about all the House bills, which
had passed and thus the calendar was clear-
ed. The Appropriation bills were all
passed.
But three appointments remained undis-
posed of atthe adjournment. The Session
through the night was quiet, business like
and profitable and the the Senate has won
immortal honor for its nobleness and ability.
scr:Ni; IN THE SENATE.
The only threatned disturbance of the
peace during the day, was between Messrs.
Benton and McDuffie during the morning
hour, and this was one of the most dramatic
and imposing scenes ever displayed in any
legislative assembly. It has produced a
deep impression upon all who were present.
0rd.
The large receipts into the Treasury had
made-it necessary to provide for the outstan-
ding loan.
the past year twenty-seven millions five hun-
dred dollars, and the expenses would be lit-
tle more than twenty millions two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars. The Senate
than realized, etc. _
A few bills were then acted upon, an ac-
count of which will be found in the procee-
dings ofthe House, exceptthe passage of a
bill for the relief of Geo. Harrison, which
passed 27 to l4. The Senate went into ex-
ecutive Session, and afterwards adjourned
sine die.
In the House of Representatives. the RVV‘
oluticnary Pension Bill, for the reliefof wid-
ows, came from the Senate with amendments
roposing extension of the Pension Act of
I843, for four years. The amendments of
the Senate were concurred in, and the bill
was passed and signed.
Mr. Schenck of Ohio, moved that the rules
of the House be suspended in order to go in-
to Committee ofthe Whole upon the Cum-
berland Road Bill.
The motion prevailed—l3'. to 74 The
Speaker announced the motion to have been
carried.
Mr. Hopkins was called to the Chair, and
a motion was made as soon as he took the
Chair that the committee arise.
The motion was carried, ayes 83 and noes
not counted. '
In the mean time the Senate had sent a
resolution to the House extending the session
until 4 o’clock.
This not having been acted upon a resolu-
tion came to extend the session until two
o'clock.
It now wanted 4 minute to 12 o'clock.
The call by yeas and nays commenced to
lay the motion upon the table. Two min-
utes ofthe four was occupied in singing en-
rolled bills, several of which were pending
and in t-rdnsitu between the two Houses -0!

The last hours oft/ie Session.-—-From all
accounts, the closing scenes of legislation in
the House of Repri sentatives were of a most
disgraceful character. 'l‘he session of Sat-
urday was prolonged until half past 3 o'clock
on Sunday morning. amid.-tsueh a confusion
of noises, motions, decisions, appeals, curses
and rowdyisin, as rendered any Clelullt-Ll ac-
count of the proceedings an almost hopeless
task. and will leave a lasting stigma upon
those concerned in this legislaliisc riot; for
that seems to be the proper It'ffIl for it.
The above paragraph is from the New Yorli
True Sun, and is the opinion ofa neutral paper
of the loco foco House of Representatives.-
THAT "DAM ROARING."
A young buck went to see the daughter
of a young Presbyterian elder, whose hobs»-
was near a mill dam. Being the spring
time ofthe year, the waters made considera-
hle ofa roaring as they tumbled over the
dam. The modest young gentleman tipped
lightly at the door at first, and received no
answer. Again and again he repeated his
knock, but still he was unheard. Mastering
up courage he procecded to inflictsonie very
severe thumps on the door, which brought
the staid old gentleman out.
I suppose, said the youngster, who had
become slightly savage from being compel-
led to stand outside so long, I suppose you
could not hear me knocking for the dam
roaring?
The DAM roaringl VVh;it do you mean,
sir? How dare. you speak in that way ? said
the divine, somewhat angered at hearing the
young man swear in his presence.
I mean to say, sir, that I suppose you could
not hear my knocking on account of the dam
roaring.
Dam roaring, again l You young scotin-
drell Have you the impudence to insult me
with a repetition of these words. Begone sir!
My dear sis, quoth the bewildered youth.
I intended to say, that I presumed I could
not be heard, because of the "clam roaring,
laying particular emphasis on the last two
words.
Insult on insult, shouted the infuriated
man. and be rushed at the poor ft-llow with
the evident intention of abolishing him, but
was restrained by the voice of his daughter
exclaiming—
Papa, I suppose the young man intended
to say, that we could not be heard on account
of the roaring of the dam.
Ohl I beg your pardon, sir, I beg your
pardon; walk in, walk in—really—ahl well
—-I declarel The dam roaring! capital!
and was seen by more persons than have
witnessed any previous debate during the
session.
Mr. McDufi'ie writhed in seeming agony
ofspirit and body under the charge of dis-
union and nullificution made by Mr. Benton,
and when Mr. Benton said he would meet
him at Phillipi, in his efforts to destroy the
Union, and not as here, with his voice and
his pen, but sword in hand, to die if need be
in defence of the Union. a murmur of ap-
plause run through the galleries which noth-
ing could restrain.
The rebuke was just and terrible and the
position of Mr. Benton a noble one that will
cover a multitude of sins. All he said was
for the Union, and for this out of doors he is
called a traitor to his party.
When Mr. Benton said he would meet
the Disunionist at Phillipi, General Clinch,
of Georgia, a whole hearted man, went to
Mr. Benton and said in the fulness of a pat-
riotic. heart that he would be there with him.
When Mr. Benton left his seat he took
John Quincy Adams, who was seated behind
him, by the hand and said Mr. Adams "yeti
are passing off the stage, and I am passing
away also, but while we live, we will stand
by the UNIoN!" This is the language of
true heroism and Mr. Benton has given
abundance evidence ofthe truth ofhis feelings
and resolutions.

Great I ritain has got already on this con
tinent; she has got above our northern
boundary 2.800.000 square miles. If we
look at the world at large, John Bull has

Mr. William M'Kie, of Washington, Sa-
lem Co. N. Y. had his Carpet Bag stolen
at Albany on the 7th inst. which contained
$10,000. The rubber was arrested in New
York on Tuesday, and the money recovered,
and while in prison on the following day he
made an unsuccessful attempt to commit sui-
cide.
“Texas we will have," exclaims the editor
of the Mississippian. He can have it if he

Let him travel it as soon as he likes, as
many a rascal has done before him.

wife of a respectable colored man, in the up-
per part of the city, was safely delivered. of

Honest.—The New York correspondent
of the Charleston Mercury, thus candidly
confesses the truth touching Mr. Polk’s
nomination :—"The fact was, that the Dem-
ocrat party was weary of the old issues on
which they were defeated in 1840 and that
they wished to begin the war on new
grounds. This, they have done. Without
disrepect to Mr. Van Buren, yet true to their
best interests and highest principles, they
have selected men more faithfully represent-
ing the latest pleases of the Democratic
masses."

to get up a celebration, did not succeed as well
as was expected; There will, consequently. be
but little stir among us during the day, farther‘
than the burning of a few pounds of powder;
and perhaps the ringing of bells to usher in the‘
day. There w-ill'b‘e a fine exhibition‘ of fire‘.

that will be richly worth seeing-_—the prepam-
ration and expenditure surpassing any thing
that has ever been done in that line here.-
As we noticed last week, the day will be
observed at Pine Island, by our temperance
folks, where our citizens generally may par—‘
ticipate in a very agreeable and iatl'oi'iZ'll' mode
of celebration. We understand that an oration
will be given, but of the arrangements, further’

The locos ofthat place, or a portion of ihem
have prepared to desecrate the day by a party

AWFUL —If this country gets through the
presentcampaign and lives, there will be no
reason to despair at anything that can happen
afterwards. lt'thi~‘/ircsof mil/iusiasm which are
raging for two of the Presidential candidates, do
iioi consume us beyond even a grease spot, then
certainly, we may fold our arms in confidem
security against any elemental strife that may
occur. But it is doivnriglit presumplion—tbe
most fatal delusion—io think ofany other result
but that of utter aniiiliilaiion. There is no
Polk to implore their friends to hold! hold I 2
hold ! l !
An.r'oUIti\'iiii-:N'r or-' CoNoni:ss.—We give
in another place the closing scenes of Congress,
which adjourned on Monday, the 17m inslafn.
fxoihing could be more gratif'yi~ng than the end
ofthis useless, and to no small extent, disgrace-
ful session. For agreat part of the time, i-t has
been difficult (we allude to the House) to keep a
sufficient number for the transaction of business,
an when this has not been the case, the legitimate
business i185 ue.en most scandalously neglected,
to give place to political machinations, and party
drillings and electioneering. Nothing of gen-
eral importance to the country, has been done,
But perhaps the country ones more to this dem-
ocratzc house for what it has failed to do, than
what it has actually accomplished. It threatened
to upset the present tariff, and to pm me whoja
matter afloat again upon an open sea. '1‘hem

enough among a few, under the light afforded
by the late elections to prevent so suicide! is
proceeding.
The Saturday session continued until 4 o’cll’:
Sunday morning, thetime being spent afierg
o’clock in a storm of confusion and uproar,
without effecting any thing whatever--the"
whole night being spent in effectual efforts to
obtain a vote on the District bill and Cumber-r
land Road appropriation bill. No report was
made on President T_ylei’s message appealing
from the Senate to the House on the Texas
question. It was understood that the Committee
on Foreign Affairs to whom the Message was re-
ferred were opposed to any action on the subject.
In the Senate, the business was better dong
up, and all important hills which failed to be
acted upon, died on the table of the House.
The action ofthe Senate on the nominations,
will be found under the Congressional head.—--
'1‘he more important were those of Chancellor‘
\/Valworth and Judge King as Justices of me»
Supreme Court, which were laid on the table.
N. P. Tallmadge was confirmed as Govern»:
or of Wiskonsan Territory—a station for which
he is well qualified.
James S. Green, ot'New Jersey, was rejected
as Secretary of Treasury, and George M. Bibb,
of Kentucky, confirmed for that station. Judge
Bibb is a very competent man, and though an
annexationist, is very friendly to M,-_ Cjayr'
election. It is thought he wi-ll not except, in
which event Mr. Bob Rantou-l, of Boston, will
(be appointed.
