Mr. Yume, (adm.) of Fla., offered an amendment au. thorizing the Postmaster General to increase the Atlantic and Pacific Mail facilities, by way of Panama and Tehuan- tepec, to the additional extent of $250,000. ‘Adopted—39 against 12, Mr. Frgraruic, (adm.) of Ala., moved to amend by appropriating $120,000 for ten years, in aid of a line of eteamers to ports in the Mexican Gulf—Mexico having given a grant of a similiar amount. Messrs. Fitzpatrick, Ward, Benjamin, Shields and Wil- s00 spoke in its favor—the latter amending the proposi- tion by limiting the period to four years—and, so amended, the motion was adopted by 24 to 10.

A megeage was here received from the President, ap- Pealing to Congres to preserve the credit of the country. “This,”’ he says, ‘ir the last day of Congress, and there ie no appropriation yet to jay the outstanding treasury notes.” He continues, “From ti) information submitted by the Secretary of the Treasury it is manifest that the present receipts will scarcely meet the ordinary expenses of the government, By the end of ihe fiscal year nearly eigh- teen millions will be due, with x considerable amount of paid for duties at the various ports’, and no means to meet them. Taus the American people will be dishonored before the world. It is impossible to avoid this catastro- phe unless provision be made against i¢ yvithin the few re- maining hoars of the present Congress, 1," this was the first instead of the last session of Congress, it might be called together again. But if it reassembled to-mor- row thirteen States will not be reprosentot, and it will be impossible to reassemble all before the rea sury must stop payment. The urgency of the case not only requires, but demands, a separate bill to save tho | credit of the country.

D tinseeri i HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. ‘Wassrxatox, March 8, 1859, Some time was consumed in an ineffectual motion to suspend the rules. After opposition, the Committee on Accounts was di- rected to allow a reasonable compensation to certain House employés. THE CHARGES AGAINST MR. SEARING. Mr. Nicuors, (opp.) of Obio, called up the report of the special committee on the charge against Mr. Searing, of having aceepted an offer of $400 for engineering a claim through the Committee of Accounts, that no money was ever paid him, Mr. Keiser, (opp.) of N. Y., said the committee should have either reperted there were no grounds or that the charge is true, and that Mr. Searing should be placed on trial, The Srmaker overruled the point. Mr. Stayton, (opp.) of Ohio, was not prepared to vote and moved ineffectually to table the subject. ‘ . The House adopted the committee's resolution that the evidence would not warrant. a conviction uur subject him. to an expulsion. THR ARMY BILL. The House concurred in tho report of the Committee of Conference on the Army bill. ‘THE POST OFFICE APPROPRIATION BILL. An mation of Mr.. the Senate’s amendments to the Post Office Appropriation 011 were mim up. Mr. Grow, (opp.) of Pa., rose to @ privileged yucetien, and offered a resolution that the bill, with its amendments, be returned to the Senate, as the thirteenth section thereof proposed to increase the rate of postage, which is in the nature of a revenue Dill, and, according to the constitu. tion, can only originate in the House. Mr. Pumps, (adm.) of Mo., briefly argued that the con- stitution is not applicable to a case of this kind. ‘The Srgaker decided that Mr. Grow’s question was pro- perly submitted. * Mr. Jongs, (adm.) of Tenn., moved an amendment to Mr. Grow’s proposition, so as to assert that the Senate’s postage amendment was nota violation of the constitution. Mr. Parirs moved to table the pending question. Negatived, 80 against 106. ‘The the thirteenth section, above alluded to, proposes five and ten cent letter rates, and abolishes the franking privilege. ‘J Mr. Jovgs withdrew his amendment. Mr. Grow’s resolution was adopted, 117 against 76. Mr. Excusn, (adm.) of Ind., said, some time ago the House passed a Post Route bill exclusively, which was sent to the Senate, but returned with amendments for in- creasing the rates of postage and the abolition of the franking privilege, and relating to the compensation of postmasters. As the House had just acted adversely on similar amendments to the Post Office Appropriation bill, he thought it best to introduce a new Post Route bill. On motion of Mr. Excusn, the rule which requires tho reading of bills was dispensed with. Mr, Mussox, (adm.) of Va., claimed that he had a right to hear it read before voting. ‘The Sreaxer remarked that he had decided according to precedents, that the rule could be suspended. Mr. Millson’s appeal was tabled. Mr. Ewausn proposed several post route amendments, which were adopted, and the bill was passed. Mr. Cray, (adm.) of Ky., was excused from voting, on the ground that he did not know what was in the bill. Mr. Caarres, (opp.) of Mass., asked a suspension of the rules, in order to have a Senate private bill passed. Mr. Pamurs, of Mo., inquired of Mr. Davidson, of 1a., whether he did not say this morning that the Presideut would not sign any private bills, not already passed, for ‘want of time, Mr. Davis, (opp.) of Md., regarded it as ® violation of Privilege for any one to dare to tell the House that the President says what bills be will or will nor sign. Mr. Pairs wished it understood that he (Phelps) had made no such declaration, Mr. Chaffee triumphed. THE NAVY BILL. The House concurred in the report of the Committee of Conference on the Navy bill, by which $280,000 are ap- propriated to enable the purchase of the chartered vessels of the Paraguay expedition. THR TREATY WITH CHINA. The House passed the Senate bill, carrying” into effect the treaty with China in November last, by authorizing the President to appoint a committee to examine claims. Recess till half past seven o'clock. 27 RVENING SBASION, On motion of Mr. Mites, (adm.) of 8, O., the rules were suspended, to consider the report of the Special Commit tee on Hall Arrangements, concluding with a resolution that the Superintendent of the Capitol Extension be di- rected after the adjournment of the present Congress to remove the deske from the hall and make a rearrange- ment, to bring the seats together into the smaliest conve- nient space. Mr. Ctay, of Ky., aeked what would become of the desks, which cost $90 to $100 a piece? Mr. Moan, (adm.) of Miss., replied—Coosigned to the tomb of the Capulets, During the proceedings there was the greatest possible confusion. The Speaker repeatedly reminded gentlemen that it was impossible to transact business unless order was preserved. After an ineffectual motion to table the resolution, it was adopted. e Mr. Nicnots, (opp.) of Obio, offered a resolution that tho thanks of the House are due and are hereby tendered to Hon. James L.

The Thirty-fifth Congress, under the provisions of the constitution, will have run out its sands of life at twelve o'clock to-day. At that hour it coases to exist; and al- though a number of the States have not yet chosen their representatives, the Thirty-sixth Congress is virtually in existence, and liable at any time to be called upon by the President to perform any act of pressing necessity. To a certain extent the two branches of the national legislatare are independent of each other, and the Senate may be convened for'the despatch of executive business without the assistarite of the House of Representatives. An instance of this most generally occurs at the close of ach Congress, and alw: we believe, on the inaugura- tion of a uew Presidents : By the followin; — from the Executive it will be ‘noen that the ate branch of the Thirty-sixth Con- ress will meet at noon to-day for the consideration of uch business as may legally come within its province:— A PROCLAMATION BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

The witness was asked by the counsel for the defence in of stock after Jones had retired, The question was objected on ound that Jones was charged ited when he was casbior, and the matter of over issue of stock had nothing to do with ‘on trial.
