at morning lorning and then marched to camp floyd on arriving 0 at lehi and p utting putting up at a public louse as we have been informed ormed the thi judge immediately sitting as a commit afi r magistrate and ana summoned a witness tu to appear before him in chambers to testify to something we know not what not eliciting i from the witness what was desired and having havin as it appears no ministerial officer at achand hand to send sen after clafter another arid and being seemingly determined a aa the saying is to earn his ais ilis llis manty manly he got into his carriage and drove bickfo back to american fork ana went into the plow fields to look up a examine him whether any of the soldiery went with him from lehi or not we do not know but pe believe belleve that lie lle made the excursion alone neither do dzi we know what information he obtained by this extra extraordinary y exertion to dla dia discharge charge to th the e letter the duties devolving upon him as an associate justice of the supreme court cf ef the united states for utah territory few men exhibit more diligence and perseverance in the be dl discharge of official duties than the judge in question and we do not remember that we ever elir eldr saw a man that could fill so many different offices at once with more ease than he has thus far since he le commenced his official career in this territory ile he is emphatically a working man and evidently intends to do all that his friends expect of him hin or that he has promised to do The court left leblon the morning of the 5 ill hil h for camp floyd in company with major pauls pluis pauls command since which we have heard nothing 0 further of its doings we pres prea presume urne however h that the judge is preparing to go goto to the

of lune june next hext but bitt whether arly any of the troops stationed in this part of the territory are to accompany him or not has not yet transpired by the eastern mail which arrived on saturday mornin sr j we received washington new york and philadelphia papers to the of march from illch ilich which a more inore concise history of the doings of congress during the last days of the session is made to appear than we could possibly obtain from the papers papera received b by y the previous mail tho published subsequently to the adjournment according to law the session should have ended with the expiration of the aki day of march but eyen eren the former method of lengthening out that day by turning back or stopping alme pieces till the business desired to be done before the adjournment was consummated was abandoned and the session contini continued ca till noon of the jtb when both hous lious s adjourned sine die aa As usual some of 0 the most important bills for the consideration and action of congress in order to keep kepl the machinery of government in motion had been deferred from time to time till the last hours of the session and notwithstanding 0 the efforts that were made to pass them and thus enable the government to ful fil its contracts and save the credit of the nation several of them were defeated among which the post office appropriation bill was the most important late in the evening of the aj when it became apparent that nothing was likely to be done to relieve the tea treasury sury the president sent in a the following message appealing to congress to make the necessary appropriation appropriations 3 to redeem the outstanding out standing treasury notes and urging the passing a separate bill for that purpose this is the last day cf of congress and there is no appropriation yet to pay the outstanding treasury notes from troia the information submitted by the secretary of the treasury it is manifest roani fest rest that the present receipts will viii scarcely meet the ordinary expenses of the government by the end of the fiscal year nearly eighteen millions will be due with a considerable amount of paid for duties at the vari varl various 0 us ports and no means to meet them anu tous s the american people will be dishonored before the world it is impossible to avoid this catastrophe unless provision be made against it within the few remaining hours of the present congress if this was the first instead of the last session of con congress ress it might be called together again but if it reassembled tomorrow to morrow thirteen states will wilt not be represented and it will be impossible to reassemble all before the treasury must stop payment the urgency of che ahe case not only requires but demands a separate b bill I 1 I 1 to save the credit of the country JAMES BUCHANAN bucnanan in the senate an amendment to the miscellaneous appropriation bill authorizing the reissuing of treasury notes was adopted by a vote of 30 to kt 22 and after being once rejected in the house by I 1 majority was subsequently agreed to yeas 94 nays 83 this result was brought about seemingly by the exertions of the president and his secretaries who are reported to have been in the capitol during the last ruggle struggle sl to get the bill passed to effect it some other items in the bill had to be abandoned one of which the pacific mail steamer appropriation senator broderic revolted at and made an effort to defeat the bill but finally gave way and at half past 11 on the ath the bill passed I 1 in some shape and immediately received the signature of the president the amendment 0 o the post office appropriation bill adopted by the senate raisin raising the rates of letter postage some seventy per cent and that of newspapers to a greater extent seems to have been the cause of its defeat the hou house seby by a decided majority denied that the senate had any constitutional ri right bt to originate any bill for raising revenue and returned the bill the senate refusing to recede A conference was agreed upon and a committee from each house met and an agreement was entered into to report the original apprel appropriation bill exactly as it first passed the senate on the of february on the report of the committee the house on motion of mr letcher suspended its rules and passed the bill without opposition and sent it to the senate for concurrence when it aas nas w as read once ky iby its title mr toombs availing himself of the rules objected to a second reading and so the bill was lost A discussion was

millions fot for other deficiencies but neither efthem of them received the approbation of tiie the majority of congress amt anil both provisions were stricken from the army appropriation bill unquestionably many loany were baly sadly disappointed at this result especially those who have been directly or indirectly instrumental in movin moving 0 the expedition for the purpose of reaping a pecuniary harvest the homestead bill passed by the house on the of february had no action tsen on id iti in the senate till the shen ahen en mr agn c ff ohio made a a to take it up the motion was wal
