CONGRESS.
THIRTY-THIRD C0MORC88?FIRST SUMMON.
After our report had dosed yesterday, Mr.
Franklin, of Maryland, gave at length the
reasons which induced him to vote fir the com
mitment of the Nebraska-Kausas bill of the
Senate. Although he was in favor of the prin
ciple of non-intervention by Congress in tho
Territories of the United States on tho suhjeot
of Slavery, yet the provisions of tho bill were
so odious, that be voted to consign it to tho
deep bosom of the Committee of the Whole,
from whenoe it might possibly never arise. Ha
i did this, he said, l>eeause, although the bill
professed to oarry out the doctrine of non-in
tervention, it did, by the Badger provino, inter
vene upon the subjeot of Slavery in the Terri
tories. This point he argued at length, and
also to ehow that under the bill the proposed
Territories must bo forever free.
The Committee then rose, and the bill of tho
Senate,-making a grant of public lands to the
several States of the Union, for the honetit of
indigent insano persons, was read twico; and
pending a motion to oommit it to the Commit
tee of the Whole, tho House adjourned.

postponod.
On motion by Mr. Gwin, tho Senato pro
ceeded to the consideration of the Deficiency
bill.
The question pending was on the amend
ment requiring all invalid pensioners to renew
the evidenoo of their disabilities every two
yoars, and providing that no person holding a
civil salaried office shall be paid any pension
as an invalid.
This amendment was debated at length, and
supported by Messrs. Hunter, Stuart, and
Pearce, and opposed by Messrs. Shields, Bad
ger, and Pettit.
That part oxoluding from the receipt of
pension all persons holding civil salaried office
nnder the United States, was stricken out.
At two o'clock, Mr. Mason moved to post
pone tho bifl, with a view of going into the
consideration of Exeoutivc business. and the
motion was rejected?yeas 18, nays 24
The amendment was further amended by
providing for one geucral examination of inva
lid pensioners, anu dispensing with the bien
nial examination.
After inuoli further dobate, the question was

amended, and it was deoidod in tho affirma
tive?yeas 22, nays 20.

house of Representative*, March 29, 1854.
Mr. Henn, from the Committee on Publio
Lands, reported hack Senato bill No. 92, with
a recommendation that it pass. This hill
gives to the people of Council Bluffs the jirivi
lege of entering one section of land, upon which
the town is locatod, at Si 25, the minimum
price. It was read a third timo, and passed.
Mr. Disney, from the same oommittce, re
ported the House bill granting land to the sev
eral States, for the benefit of indigent insane
? |iereons in tho said States, with a recom
mendation that it do not pass. Tho report of
the committee was read. It argues at length
that the General Government has no power so
to interfore with thft affairs of the several
States, nor so to dispose of tho public domain, j
Mr. Bennott, from tho sameoommittoe, made
a minority report, and askod that it might he ]
read.
Mr. Orr objected to the roading.
On motion of Mr. Hendricks, the Committee '
on Printing was instructed to inqniro into the |
expediency of printing 10,000 oopies of 1>oth
reports.
The reports woro laid on tho table, and or
dered to be printed.
Mr. Disney moved that the bill be reforrod
to the Comtnittoo of the Whole.
Mr. Warren moved that that motion be laid
on the table. Lost?yeas 71, nays 89.
The question was then taken on the motion
to commit tho bill to the Committee ot the
Whole, and docidod in tho affirmative?yeas 83,
nays 72.
Mr. Florenoe presented a bill, of which pre
vious notice had been given, to provide for ap
prentices in the United States navy, nyeiiue

the Committee on Naval Affairs.
Mr. Booook moved that the debate on the
bill to authorise the construction of six war
steamers, shall olose at two o'olook to-morrow.
Mr. Washburne, of Ulinois, moved that tho
resolution should lie on the table. Rejected?
jeas 62. nays 93,
Mr. Booook's motion was thereupon adopted.
The House then resolved itself into Commit
tee of tho Whole on tho state of the Union
Mr. Hamilton in the ohair.
?And Mr. Barksdale addressed the Commit
tee in support of the Kansas and Nebraska
hill. It was not hie purpose to discuss the ab
stract question of Slavery, whatever may l?o
its benefits and blessings to tbe master and tho
slave, in tbe slave States, and in the North,
where theiY produots are consumed. It wan
sufficient that the Constitution upheld and
supported it. He would not discuss the gene
ral provisions of the bill. They would meet
with no opposition upon principle.
The bill is said to be promature. This ob
jection will no^stand scrutiny. Bnt it is now
before ns, and we have oniy to examine it,
and to act upon it.
There are Amerioau citiaenw in the Territo
ry, and they have elected a delegate and smt
him here. Mr. Barkwlale here read a letter
in proof of tmoh election. Ho also re-ul from
the St. Lout* Republican an extract setting forth
tho fact that emigrant* were pressing on to
that country. All, however, liad admitted that
thiii was a mere question of time. Tho people
will noon create a Government, if Congress
does not give thom one. Mr. Barksdale read
from the speoeh of Mr. Evorott, in the Senate,
to prove that tho question was but one of time.
Ho was still Hpoaking, when our report
closed.

To those persons who may visit Washington, and
are in want of a boot that cannot be excelled, either
in quality or workmanship, we would call their atten

Is causcd by the bungling manner in which tho boot

of his time in studying the construction of tho human
foot, in order to ascertain how a boot should be cut
and fitted, that will be perfectly easy to all part* of
the foot. In this he has succeeded, so that it inattors
not what maybe the shape of. or the number of corns
