In the SENATE, Mr. Huntington offered

the Secretary of the Treasury to report, at
next session, a statement of exports to

The Judiciary Committee reported a bill

A new Committee of Conference was
ordered on the Army appropriation bill.

54 40 feeling by proposing to have Great
Britain pay one halfthe expenses ofa Light
House at the mouth of the Columbia river!
This proposition he made on a proposed
amendment to the Civil -and Diplomatic
bill. It received more laughter than votes.
Mr. Benton got his amendment, provi-
ding for the payment of certain Mexican
instalments embodied in the same bill.
The Senate having passed the West
Point bill with amendments, went into
secret session, where they remained some
time; engaged, probably, on the Mexican
matters. It is generally believed that
The bill to reduce and graduate the price of there 55 "OW 3 P"°P°5lti°“ {W P9399 befofe
public lands was taken up, and after some
discussion the amendment of the House
was amended and then agreed to.
The Civil and Diplomatic appropriation
bill was then taken up, and a large number
of amendments reported from the Finance
committee were considered and adopted.
The Senate at 7 o’clock went into Exi c-
iitive session, and soon after adjourned.
In the .I'IOUSE, Mr. Hunt moved to sus-
peud the rules to offer a resolution to a-
mend the Constitution so as to make the
President inelligible to reelection, and that
no Member of Congress shall be appointed
to office during the term for which he was
elected. Rules not suspended.
Mr. Dodge offered a resolution to pay
the oflicers of the House the usual extra
compensation. Lost—yeas '75, nays 77.
Mr. Garrett Davis offered a resolution
calling on the President to state whether
any Treasury drafts have been issued and
if so the amount and their denomination.
The motion to suspend the rules to con-
sider this resolution was IIost—yeas 80,
nays 57.
Mr. Martin of Wisconsin offered a reso-
lution to give the same “batch of books”
to Members of this Congress that Members
of the last Congress received.
The resolution then passed—yeas S9,
nays 73.
The President‘s Veto message on the
river and harbor bill was received and read.
He says the power to make such ap-
propriations as are contained in the River
and Harbor bill, is both unconstitutional
and inexpedicnt.
The" speaker now put the question-—-
Shall this bill become a law, the Presi-
dent’s objections to the contrary notwith-
standing’!
Mr. Thompson of Pennsylvania disap-
proved and denounced the veto and its doc-
trines. He asked i\‘lessrs. McClelland and
and Constable if they had conversed with
President Polk on the items of the bill,
and if he did not give them to understand,
before the tariff bill was passed, that he
would sign it’! If Col. Polir intended to
veto such a _ bill, why did he allow his
friends to frame it without telling them
what he could not approve’! Why did he
and his Secretary recommend allgtliese im-
provements and now veto them’! For one,
be (Mr. Thompson) condemned this du-
plicity of the Executive. ’
Mr. Broadhead would sustain the veto,
not for the reasons it contained, but be-
cause there was no money in the Treasury
to make internal improvements, and there
would be none, now that the tariffhad been
repealed. ’ .
Mr. Holmes made a speech in support of
the veto, and ironically cited the Baltimore
convention in support of his creed "on this
subject.
Mr. Tibbatts condemned the veto, and
cited the E:tecutive’s annual Message as
proof of his inconsistency in this matter.
Mr. Rhett followed and sustained the
vote and the principles upon which it was
based. At the conclusion of his speech,
Mr. Bayly got the floor, when,. on motion
the House adjourned.
’I‘ui~:s-ii.i~—i'. August 4.
The HOUSE passed the French Spoilin-
tion bill to day, after a hard struggle, by a
vote of '7-1« to 257. All the speaking was
done by the opponents of the bill, and a
great variety of amendments were offered
with a view of defeating it. Its friends
acted with great coolness and discretion,
however, and fought it through in a solid
phalanx.
The bill will now be in the hands of the
President, to approve, to veto, or to hold
Its enemies confidently predict a
veto.
In the SENATE, the veto was under dis-
cussion during the morning, and Mr. Bag.
by made a speech highly eulogistic of the
firmness of the President. The vote upon
the passage of the bill, in opposition to
the veto, was 95 to 91-—a majority but not
, So the river and harbor bill
is among the things that have been.
Mr. Benton made a vigorous effort in
the Senate to attach an amen :lment to the
Civil and Diplomatic bill, providing for the
payment to the claimants of the two in-
stalmeiits of the Mexican Indemnity, due
in April and July 184-4-, which are alledged
to have been paid to the agent of the
American government, Mr. Voss, in a
round about, speculative way, and which
he asserts he has never received, althoucrh
the Mexican government holds his recefpt
for the amount.
_ Mn Benton made a statement of the
circumstances attending the transaction,
and maintained that Mr. Voss had entered
intoa speculation with the English house of
Tayleur, Jamieson & Co. by which he and
his associates were to pocket $102,000,
and that the Mexican government had, to
all intents and purposes, paid the instal-
mntso by giving certain drafts or orders
Upon the Custom Houses to receive the
TEVCTWO as It accrued, to Tayleur, Jamies-
on 8:. Co. for which they gave the receipts
of Mr. Voss for the amount due, which
they were to pay_ him in specie,
Mr. Evans objected to to the amend-
ment, on the ground that if the Mexican
government had paid the money to our
agent, there was a law already in exis.
., tence to.pro.vi.de for the payment of the
"claimants.
The amendment was rcj'ec«ted'—nays 23,
yeas 18. Adjourned. ,

the Senate.
The HoUsE seems bent upon doing noth-
ing except what is wrong. They passed
the sub treasury bill to day as it came
from..thc Senate. This, too, may be called
the law of the land. Mr. Pol-< is not very
likely to veto a bad bill. He makes ob-
jections only to good bills,a title to which
this one has no claim. -
The House laid on the table (in other
words killed) the Land Graduation bill,
and a bill which pass,-d the Senate this
morning, remitting the duties on certain
Railroad iron used on the Mexican Gulf
and other Railroads. Adjourned.
Tiiuasn.-.1’, August 6. _
A Message was received from the Pres-
ident , announcing the ratification of the
Oregon Treaty, and recommending the
adoption of measures for the government
of the Territory and protection of our cit-
izens.
Mr. Spcight moved tozrefcr the Message
to the Committee on Territories and have
it printed.
Mr. Haniiegan opposed the reference.
He could not see the propriety of attempt-
ing to legislate for Oregon at this late
stage of the session. It would lead to
debate, and he and others who had opposed
the Treaty, wouid have to take the oppor-
tunity which such debate would offer to
vindicate their course before the country.
He wished now to say, and he wished the
people to hear it, that the Treaty was noth-
ing more than a convention of joint occu-
pation south of 49, whereas, by the prcvi
ous convention, we possessed such joint
occupation up to 51- 40. It wasa conven-
tion humiliating to this country, and it
surrendered to England all the important.
military stations south of 4-9, and the
navigation of the Columbia rii er forever.
Mr. Allen was in favor of legislatii'ig as
far as possible for our citizens in the little
remnant of Oregon that was left to us.

When Mr. Niles, a few years .sim'e,made
some predictions in the Senate, his friends
here con:plimcuterl his sagacity, and said
he was a true prophet. I-lc‘\vas a farseeing
man, they claimed, and his words were’
propliecy. Be it so.
He has been making other predictions
«luriiig the present Session of Congress.
In addition to his forctelling that a few
years under the operation of the new tariff‘
would find the Treasury empty,tlie finances-
deraiigecl, and the country in debt, he is:
reported to have said that “he was convin-
ced lhat the l- ill bc"ore the Senate ought
not to pass, and he was very sure if it did
pass, that it could not long remain upon
the statue book. He had the consolation
of having before given, and of now giving
a warning voice.” This too, is prophecy.
It has an air of truth and probability about
it. It finds an echo in the hearts of the
people as they read ii. It must be set
down as proof of sagacity, and as it is upon
the present time a disease among horses of
a peculiarly fatal character. A great vari-
ety of remedies have been tried, and in
