IMPORTANT RELATIVE TO ARMY OFFICE! Mr. Bropurap, (dem.) of Pa,, reported a bill, making it a penal offence for any officer of the army to be in- terested in any contract for supplies for the army. LAND FOR A RAILROAD IN CALIFORNIA, Mr. Gwin, (dem.) of Cal. introduced a bill granting me to California for o railroad from San Francisco to San Jore, THE LANDING OF TROOPS AT VERA CRUZ. Mr. Brxv’s resolution, calling for copies of Lioutenant ‘Temple's memoirs of the landing of troops at Vera Cruz, with the appendix, was taken up, and its passage was opposed by Messrs, Cass and Haatzix, who were opposed to the Senate’s engaging further in the book-making business, Mr. Maxcum, (whig) of N.C., said that he hoped the Senator from Tennessce would not press the resolution, as it seemed the gentlemenon the other side desired to shrink from the publication, peas ed to bevery sensitive upon the matter, and p ps it would not do to pile up the agony too much in advance. Those gentle. men were destined to be punished, The people would get this information. The other side seemed as if they thought enough was known already on the subject. Mr Brut, (whig) of Tenn., said that the memoir did did not, in’ manuscript, cover over forty pages, and in print would not exceed twenty. He was informed that it was interesting, and that it formed part of the history of that war. If, when it came here, the Senate did not desire to print it, it could be laid on the table. Mr. Bennien, (whig) of Georgia, thought that courtesy would justify senators in voting fer the resolution, aad they could urge their opposition to the motion to print. Mr. Curmens, (dem.) of Alabama, seid, that after the remarks of the senator from North Carolina, gentlemen ought not to be surprised at the opposition." ‘That sena- tor. in language not to be misunderstood, avowed this document to be one serviceable for the purposes of 'y intrigue. to aid in the election of that senator's favorite and particular cai jauiey. Who would be ed by the people? The sena- tor mcant the Democratic party. if he meant any thing at all. He had not participated in any po- litical intrigue, and intended to have nothing to do with it; and for this reason he would oppose thisreselution, He would not consent to have such do- cuments—mere clectioneering pamphlets—published and sent out to the country under the sanction, and by the authority of, the Senate, to bonefit or exyodite the romoticn of any Presidential aspiraut. He had always Pela Gemeral Scott in high regard. He had at former sessions, and would at this, press the measure, giv- ing him the highest military dignity conferred upon ‘American citizens. But he would not consent to have the Senate made the vehicle for the purposes of ad- vancing the political prospects of any man. Mr. Maneun said that he had not intimated that this ‘Was a political document, or that it could be used for such purposes. Objection was made to it on the other side, and he had mercly said that as the other party appeared to wince under this resolution, or to shrink from having such information produced, that, binges Fe it would be too unkind to {punish them (oo soon. ‘That party hada rough road to travel, shortly, and he had suggested mere- ly that it would mot kind to bogin to place obstruc- tions on it too early. Mr. Hantiix, (dem.) of Me., saidthat he opposed this resolution from no poli consideration. The Commit- tee on Printing had thought it proper to endeavor to put a stop to this book-making by Congress, They had al- ready refused to re-print a hook, They hoped the Senate would sustain them in their position. As to the obstruc- tions on the political road, mentioned by the Senator, he thought there was not one which the democratic party could noteasily remove; andhe would tell the Senator that he had not the slightest doubt but that the nominee of the democratic party would be the next President of the United States. Mr. Cass. (dem.) of Mich., said that when he opposed this resolution he was not aware that it referred any | more to General Scott than to the Queen of England Ho epposed it, as he had on several other occasions, propositions to publish books written by officers of the army and nnd navy. and other porsons. Mr. Hane, (free soil) of N. H., eaid that he desired to speak upon the subject, and it was postponed till to-morrow. ™ : ‘The Deficiency biligwas thon taken up, when Mr. Bor- naxp, (dem.) of Ark., said that he intended, on this Deficiency bill, to have yoted aye or no, upon its items ; but measures had been attached to it utterly at variance with the principles which he had ever sustained, and which, till now. had been sustained and supported by those of his political associates, under whose lead he had becn proud to follow, ‘Lhose leaders had now abandoned those principles—he could follow them no longer. The Senator from Virginia alone had opposed this departure from principle. Hoe had — stood aloof from the battle heretofore. because that Senator was equal to tho enemy’s forces while they stood at his front; but now that the Senator was surrounded by enemies, in front and rear, he came to his support, not with any hope of sharing in a victory. but to share his dofeat. THe was opposed to this amendment. giving aid to the Collins line. He then enid that the whole feature of those steamers, which had ever recommended it to Congress, was that they could be used for war purposes. This, he said, and argued. could not now be maintained. It is a mere pro- ition to create a monopoly in the bands of Collins and is associntes, and to extend protection to the commercial steam marine, Ife commented at length upon the prin- ciple of protection generally, and denied its justice, equi- ty, or propriety. He was cqually opposed to protection to any branch of commerce over another. The commer- cial marine. which now was the.pride of the country and the admiration of the world, had reached its eminent su- periority without the aid of any special protection, Why could not these steam lines do the same? He said he was unable. from ill-health, to proceed further to-day, and the subject was postponed. FLORIDA LANDS. A bill to legallze certain entries of public lands made in Florida, was taken up and passed. PASSAGE OF THE BILL 70 CHECK GALPHINIS. The bill probibiting members of Congress and of th executive departments being interested in claims agains the government, being put upon its passage, Mr. Uxprrwoop, (whig) of Ky., moved to recomsit {t, to make its provisions inelude other ab After a long debate the motion was rejected, and the Dill was passed. Adjourned, House of Representatives Wasrunerox, May 12, 15 TIVE CONGRESSIONAL. PRINTING The House proceeded to the consideration of the reso- lution reported from the Printing Committee by Mr. Stanton, on Friday. namely That the Committee on Printing, under the joint resolution of August dd, 1846, | have the power to adopt such measures as may be deemed necessary to remedy any neglect or delay on the part of the contractor to execute the work ordered by Congress, and to make a pro rata deduction on the compensation allowed. or to refuse the work altogether, should it be in- ferior to the standard; and in all cases may hold the con- tractor and his #xecurities responsible for any increased expenditure consequent wpon the non-performance of hi contract. Mr. Frren (dem,) of Ta., © sid that his colleague (Mr, Gorman), when this subject was previotsly under con~ sideration, had charged that « coalition exi mposed of gentiomen mostly democrats entertaining opposite reotion action of the Committee on Printi ition exists outside of the imagi made the charge.

Resolved, That the committee on the part of the House, having oxoceded their powers, and having declined ol he ircg yg aly ng House, and expressed a dis r 80, to ion om the K all the Vaawacios thus created in the Joint Comiaittce on Printing. Mr. Boux moved that the House go into Committee of the Whole on tho Homestead bill, as he saw no pros- pect of concluding the printing question to-day. He, owever. withdrew his motion at the request of Mr. Stanton, (dem.) of Ky., who promised to renew it. Mr. Stanton then said that the great object of the gentleman who had spoken seemed to be to mi resent the committee. and drive the membera of it to abandon their places ; but he would not abandon his position at. the gentleman's dictation, except on one consideration. Mr. Frren int ; and said that the committee, in their report, most unequivocally presented the alterna- tive; and are we to submit to their dictation? I say, nay. When they presont the alternative, I am di to accept it, and let them go out. Mr. Sranton---Let me have the report, if you please. Mr. Fitcn-- [had it here Just now, but some gentleman has taken it from my desk: Mr, Stanton—Those who heard my remarks the other day will recollect that I said, if the House thought it to be the duty of the House Committee toact against the plain provisions of the law, we could not. perform the duty. and would be compelled to wash our hands of the itter; but Iwas about to say that I do not intend to back out from their direction, except on condition that the gentleman from Indiana be put inmy place, Mr. Stanton then defended the action of the Committee, and reiterated that they were compelled to do sometbing to procure the printing. as the contractor had broken all his promises, and had utterly failed tocome up tohis obligations, The honorable gentleman has started as if thunderstruck, because an arrangement was made with the Republic and the Union. Great God, it was always 80 with the gentleman. Two years ago, when the Com- mitte on Printing proposed to give the printing to Gales, Seaton, and Thomas Ritchie, where was the gentleman’s indlgnation then? He did not on that occasion rise to danounce a coalition. ‘Mr. Has: '—This is the first time I have heard ofsuch a jon. E x. Srantrox—I will show it to you from the second. Mr. Frrc—It may be #0. Mr, Stanzy, (whig) of N.C.—Father Ritchie compli- mented the gentleman as able, accomplished, and clo- quent, (Laughter.) Mr. Stanly thon read ‘the reso- lution d to.” It was drawn up, he said, by Mr. McMullen, a sterling damocrat, and proposed to take away tho printing from Mr. Bell. and give it to Messrs, Galea, Seaton, and Ritchi only thirty-five per cent be- low the prices of 1819, whilst the present committee pro- posed to givei! to the Unam and Kepublic at sixty-five per cent below those prices. HOUSE CLEANING ARRANGEMENTS, Mr. Jonxsox, (dem.) of Ark.. said that as the House had passed a resolution to adiourn from Thursday to Monday. he moved that they meet at eight o'clock to- morrow morning, and immediately adjourn, so that the employés May go te work to refit and clean the ball, Agreed to. ir. Mracnam, (whig) of Vermont, suggested that as the hall was to be re-arranged, the seats in tho area in front of the inner range be removed. For the last four months, in consequence of the passages being blocked up, he has had to walk away around some other aisle to reach his seat. Mr. Poix.---I nfove to increase the honorable gentle- man’s mileage tothat extent. (Laughter.) There was great confusion at this point, gentlemen being upon their fect, and talking---the Speaker fre- quently calling to order. ] Mr. Jounson, of Ark.--- Who has the floor ? Tho Srraxer.---The Chair has. (Laughter.) Mr, Meacham’s motion was decided to be out of order. Mr. Stanzy thought it wasa question of privilege, and gaid---Suppose I have noseat ? * The Srraxen doubted whether it would be his business to have « chair provided, but ke would think of the mat- ter. (Laughter.) Mr. Onn, (dem.,) of 8, C., doubted whether it was the duty of the Speaker to have the seats on tho ark re- moved, without the authority of the House. _ Mr. Saxton, (dem.) of Tenn., appealed from the deci« sion of the chair; pending which, the House went into Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union, on the HOMESTEAD BILL---EXCITEMENT AND CONFUSION, The substitute for the bill offered yesterday by Mr. Brown. of Miss.. was adopted, ayes 67, nays 56, and pr pored to perpetuate pre-emptions to actual settlers on the public lands-.-that is to say, persons acquiring the right of pre-emption shall retain the same without dis- turbance, or Lv of any kind to the United States, on certain conditions, giving the pre-emptor the right at any time, at his or her discretion, to enter the lands pre- empted. by paying $1 25 per acre. Mr. Staxy proposed an amendment, to the effect to aie ahomestead to any person not worth the sum of 500, Aquestion was here raised that the amendment was not in order, and amid the confusion geveral votes were taken on sustaining the decision of the chair. Many gentlemen were talking at the same time. The Chairman banged and rapped Lustily for order, but with- out avail. : A sharp but brief colloquy sprung up between Mr. Mr. Staxzy; but what was said we could not learn; the firat named gentleman, how- ever, shook his finger at the latter with much severity. Vinally there was comparative quictude, ‘The Committee then rose, and the Chairman reported the bill. as amended by the substitution of Mr. Brown's proposition. Mr. Jonxsox, of Tenn., moved an amendment to the substitute, and demanded the previous question, which prevailed. Mr. Joxrs, (dem.) of Tenn., asked is collengue whether his amendment was not substantially the bill which was acted upon in committee, Mr. Jonnron, of Tenn., replied that it is not only substantially the same, but is decidedly improved. (Laughte Mr. Mc ex, (dem.) of Va., wishing to have an op portunity to examine the subject, moved an adjournment, which was not carried, Yeas, 52; nays, 81, Mr. Jobnson’s amendment was then agreed to. Yeas, 97; nays. 57. Several other motions to adjourn were made, and seve- rally voted down. Mr. Jenxins, (dem.) of N. Y., moved that the bill be laid on the table. Negatived. Yeas, 57; nays, 112. Mr. Brown's substitute, as amended by Mr, Jounson, 0° Tenn,. was adopted by---yeas, 108; nays, 57.
