The bill to prevent the introduction of cholera into the Wnited States, after being under discussion for several days, passed the Senate to-day in an amended form. The great bugbear in the minds of many of the extreme Tadicals in passing the original bill was that it placed an immense power in the hands of the President, who might use it to furthor his political interests, Mr, Chandler, in @ speeclt to-day, said that tho first section authorized the Pre.ident to employ such means as, in his judgment, was deemed necessary to prevent the introduction of of the award of the ‘under the con between the United States and Ecuadot, of of November, 1862, which instalment was due athe 17th of February last, As debts of this from one government to another are justly character, and as furthéT plomatic measures are not in this instance likely to # Successful the expediency of ‘authorizing other preetdings, in case they should ultimately prove to* indispensable, is submitted to the consideration of , ou THE STATE DEPARTMENT. | has failed to pay the first OCEEDINGS IN CONGRESS.

The Dill was finally modified so as to authorize the Secretary of the Treasury to carry into effect such orders and regulations of quarantine as in his opinion may be deemed necessary and proper, in aid of State or munici- pal authorities, to guard against the introduction of a cholera into the ports of the United State, ideration of the Bills Appended to | rux arrenpxp situs To THE RECONSTRUCTION the Report Postponed to the 29th COMMITTER’S REPORT.
