Much to the disap pointment of almost everybo!y, this report the difference between the Senate and the House Representatives, giving seven millions seven landred and fifty thousand instead of eight millions and a half, pasted both branches of Congress with an overwhelming majority. The question was asked om every side how is this S{range phenomenon in legislation ac- ‘The anawer was, by many, that it was parved to give the President an opportnuity for another This flea thrown out in the Seftate by Mr. of Virgi Re said the paserge of this bill was cply compound'ng the liabil of the federa? gov ernment to Texas, and established a fact, not inthe faith of the democratic party, that the general gove was liable for State debts, Some laugh at the id President vetoing this bill anything south of Besides th n the of railroad iren, @ long debate. was ollered, that with railroad iron be includes for.ign manufactured cotton and woollen goods.

The Attorney Gene- ral was followed on the same side by ex-Attorney General Crittenden, who also retained the audience during nearly atwo hours’ speech. This case has been one of the most ably argued for years The impression is, that the de- cision will be against Fremont, and that decision of the District Court of California will be sustained. ‘The House is still opened. with the civil aad diploma- tic bill, and perhaps will enguged io this measure for twocr three days to come. Tach ap copriation calls forth a great deal of superfluous talking, which gene- rally ends in the passage of the meesure first pro- posed, There is hardly any probability of the tariff bill of Mr Houstcn's being brought before the House again thin session, A special bill, however, may, and most likely will, shortly be introduced,’ caisidg tue au- ties on wool ard railroad iron. This is the probable fruit of a combination between New England and the Southwest, represented particular- ly by Boston snd Tennessee. The one party want free importatica ‘or wool and the otber for railroad iroo, and as neither can safely venture on an independent mea. sure, the two parties have joined hands and have con- sented to a ‘tickle me and I'll tickle you”’ sort of agame, By this union, the tariff may be changed this session up- on these two articles. ‘There is a rumor in town to day tha’ if, in lee the Civ} and Diplomatic bil, Congress in the mail appropria- tion specify the Collins line of steamers, the President will veto the measure, This rumor has been followed up by some parties from curiosity or interest, and chased dhectly into the Post Office Department. This is » birthplace sufficient to elevate the rumor to distinction. George fanders is in town, liale and hearty, and ready for commencing the wtring-pulling for the next Presiden- tial race. He is hand and glove with tte Know Nothings, ‘This seems a little odd to those who don’t know the weys ol politics, Fraternizing with Pierre Soulé, the fiery Frenchman, ond the German Jew, in Europe, it would seem to some that he could have but li tle sympathy with the party called into existence by the opposition to these men at home. But politics truly “makes strange bedfel'ows,’’ and her devotee may rise with the lien and lay down with the lamb. George has got a game of some kind to play, you may reat assured.

The National Anniversary—Congressional Patriotism— Pension Bill Passed the Senale—ts Provisions—The House Proceedings—Amendnen's az Plentiful as Blackberries—The Tecas Debt Bill—Gen. Rusk's Posi- tion—An Extra Session of the Tecas Legislature—The Niagara Ship Canal—The Tariff-—Supreme Court, dc, This national anniversary, whicit is a0 wniversaily ob- served throughout our country, is not passing unnoticed here. Every street and avenue about the federal capital ia alive with Sunday soldiery, and the air is Glled witu ‘The day itselt ia beautiful. eky is as clear and blue as was ever seen in an Italian clime. Yet, in spite of the patriotic feelings which generally fire the American bosom “on the glo- rious twenty-second, the American Congress deem ; the best exhibition which they cau make of their patrictiem, ts by doing a good day’s work in the ad- vancement of their country’s legislation. This was a sensible conclusion, particularly at this late day ia the session; and accordingly bota houass are in session. ‘The Senate, to-day, passed a bill to provide for the final eettlemont of the claims of the officers of the revo: tiorary army, and the widows and orphan children of those who died in the service. By this bill the half-pay for life is allowed all those who survived the five yeu for which they received full pay, and grants the to those who are entitled, but who have never received anything; but all payments are to be made without in- terest. ‘The Geveral Civil and Diplomatic Appropriation bill was under consideration all day in the House, and many amendrents added. Every member comes into the hal witha pocket full ol amendments, which are peeseptee at every torn. Tes ame is becoming desperate. ‘The ‘iexas debt bill, as reported from the Committee of Conference, has paased both houses of Congress, and will, I think, be accepted by the State of Texas. General Ruak, who acceded to the appropriation recommended by the Committee of Conference, of which he a member, did ro with much reluctance, as le honestly believed that Texas was entitled to the $8,500,000, as fixed by tle Senate; but having at last given his assent to the appropriation of $7,550,000, he will use his influence with Texas to induce her to accept the bill as passed. Governor Pease will immediately call an extra session of the Legislature, and lay the matter before it; and I think we may anticipate an early settlement of the whole of thie perplexing end embarrasring quertion. ‘Ske Committee on Commerce in the House of Repre- sentatives, will in a few days report in favor of a grant of lend to the Niagara Shp Canal, This is regarded a3 a work of not only national importance, but of vast im- portsnce to the nation, The shipping trade of the St. Lawrence ix confined entirely to the Canada side of the river, and through a canal requtriog several days to make the passage. When the contemplated eanalis completed on the American side of the river, the same trips will be cde ben im ten hours. It is estimated that the c: nal will ccst ten millions of dollars, and Congress arked to make a grant of Isnd in aid of its construction. ‘The grant ix not expected to be made at the present ses- sion, but a report is desirable, that 1t may be submitted for the action of the people in primary meetings ‘The log rolting scheme which | mentioned was on foot between tbe railroad and manufacturing interests, to secure the importation of railroad iron, and woo!, and dye-atutis, free of duty, was attempted to be consummat- ed today, by tacking the scheme on to the general ap- propriation bill— but it failed sgaio, by 2 vote of 76 to 68 —only, however, to be again brought up at every oppor tunity. Look out for this amendment at least ovce every day during the time the Civil and Diplomatic bill is un- Cer consideration Inthe Supreme Court, to-day, Mr. Crittenden closed is argument in favor of Col, Fremont’s Mariposa land claim, in the hearing of a crowded auditory of ladies and gentlemen, It was not considered as one of his best ef- forte, by any means, and the impression with the bar is, that ibe Attorney General has ‘‘crashed out’ the case beyond a hope of recovery.
