Congressional Proceedings.
From the National Intelligencer.
M.ONPAY, APE1L 15,
IN SENATE.
Mr. Elliott from the Committee on
Military Affairs, to which the subject
bad been referred, made s detailed re
port on the claim of the state of Georgiy,
for Militia services rendered to the U
nion, in the years 1792,3, and 4; which
report concludes with recommending
the adoption ef a resolution instructiug
the military committee to report a bill
to appropriate 129,374 dollars 66 cents,
in full discharge of the militia claims of
Georgia; and the report was, on motion
of Mr. E. ordered to be printed.
The three resolutions submitted by
Mr. Stokes on Friday last were taken up
and adopted.
The resolution offered by Mr. King,
of New York, on Friday, was also taken
up and agreed to, and referred,to the
Committee on the Judiciary.
The report made by Mr. Van Dyke,
on Friday last, from a select committee}
unfavorable to the petition of Thomas
Robinson, and others, heirs of the late
Gen. T. Robinson, was taken up and *•
greed to.
A message was received from the
President of the United States, trans
mitting, in compliance with a resolution
of the Senate, a report of the Secretary
of War, relative to the information in
his possession, touching the most eligi*
ble site on the western waters for the e«
rection of a national arsenal; which mes
sage was read.
The Senate resumed the considera
tion of the bill to authorize the build
ing of a light house at Stonington Point,
and (as it had been amended on the mo
tion of Mr. Macon J one also, at or near
the port of Ocracoke, in North Caroli
na.
Several other amendments were made
to the bill, providing piers, &o, in dif
ferent positions, and some propositions
were rejected. Among the unsuccess
ful motions to amend the bill was one
by Mr R. M. Johnson, of Ky. who pro
posed to add an appropriation of 20,000
dollars for removing obstructions at the
falls of the Ohio river; which motion
was rejected without a division; and the
bill was ordered to be engrossed for a
third reading.
The Senate then, according to the or
der of the day, proceeded to the consid
eration of the bill (introduced by Mr,
Dickerson some weeks ago ^prescribing
the mode of commencing, prosecuting,
and deciding controversies between
states. [The first section of the bill
provides that ia all cases where any mat
ter of controversy now exists, or herafter
may exist, between states, in relation to
jurisdiction, territory, or boundaries, or
any other matter which may be the pro
per subject of judicial decision, it shall
be lawful for the state deeming itself ag
grieved, to institute against the state of
which it complains a suit, or suits, in the
supreme court of the United States, by
bill in the nature of a bill in equity ^sta
ting all the facts, and exhibiting and re
ferring to all papers and documents dee
med necessary to substantiate the com
plaint. The remaining 14 sections em
brace the details for effecting the object
of the first section 1
Mr. Southard delivered an argument
of considerable length in support of this
bill; adverting to, for the purpose of
shewing the expediency of the measure
and entering a good deal into the me
rits of, an existing and long standing
controversy between the states of New
York and New Jersey, relative to their
boundary and the extent of their respec
tive jurisdictions—the state of New
York claiming jurisdiction over all the
waters between the tfvo states, up to
high water mark on the Jersey shore;
the latter state resisting this claim, and
asserting her own right to exercise
jurisdiction over the dividing waters, as
far out as the middle thereof.
Mr. Van Buren also entered much at
large into the merits of the dispute be
tween the states, controverting some of
the positions taken by Mr. Southard, and
arguing that there was no necessity for
adopting this bill, inasmuch as the ques
tion between the two states could with
out any such law, be brought up to the
Supreme Court in a case between two
individuals, being citizens of different
states, &c.
The bill was then laid over and made
theorder of the day for to«morrow, on
the motion of Mr. Bickorson.
The engrossed bill to repeal the 14th
section of tho act of last session, to re
duce the Military establisnment, was
read the third time, passed, and sent to
the House of Representatives for con
currence.
The engrossed bill to enable the cor
poration of Washington City to fill up
and drain the low grounds on and near
the public reservations, and to improve
and ornament parts of said reservations
was read the third time; and then, on
motion of Mr. King, of Now York, (who
desired some additions! information on
the subject, which he specified,) the bill
.was laid on the table.
The bill granting to the heirs of John
Donnelsop and others 5000 aeres of lan#
under a resolution of the state of Geor
gia of 1766, passed through acommitted
of the whole, where it was amended by
| adding the name of John 8evier, & wad
! then ordered to he engrossed for a third
i reading.
j The bill from the Douse of Represen
tatives, granting certain privileges fo in
corporated steam ship companies, was
: also considered in committee of thd
, whole, and, after an ineffectual attempt
i to amend it so as to extend the privil*
| eges to companies other then those in
corporated, it was ordered to lie on thd
table.
The bill from the other house resto
ring to the ship Diana the priviliges of
a sea letter vessel, was discussed is com
mittee of the whole, and then postpenad
until to morrow.
The bill for the relief of the legal rep
resentatives of Greenberry H. Murpbey
late Deputy Marshal of the western
district of Pennsylvania^ Whom the bill
proposes to indemnify for judgement g*
costs recovered against him for collect
ing two militia fines,) was taken op in
committee of the whole; and being ex
plained by Mr* Williams of Tenn. thd
bill was ordered to be-engrossed for a
third reading.
The bill from the House of Represen
tatives to authorize the Secretary of the
Treasury to make an exchange of cer
tain 6 and 7 per cent, stocks was taken
up in committee of the whole—Mr.
Morril in the chair,
Mr; Holmes, of Maine, entered inter
a brief exposition of the operation and
effect of the bill—and in conclusion ex
pressed the opinion, that if there was a
strong probability that the government
would be able to pay off the debt as it
became due, be should be averse to the
bill; but as it would do no harm at least
if it did no good, he should support the
bill
Mr. Macon was opposed to the bilL
Ho conceived it to be neither more or
less than a new way to make a loan ;
for if there was a prospect of being able
to pay the debt, this bill would not have
been introduced. It was tbe precise
way in which England had gone on in
her public debt—that nation which we
abused most aud copied most. He
was opposed to the whole paper system,
public and private—the only effect of
which was to make tbe rich richer and
the poor poorer He had heard of war
in disguise, but this was the first time,
he believed, they had ever had a loan
in disguise, and he was decidedly op*
posed to it.
Some conversation took place be
tween Mr. King, of New York, and Mr*
! Holmes of Maine, on one or two pointe
of inquiry, which the former put to the
latter gentleman, as chairman of the
committee of finance* after which
The bill was postponed until to mor
row,
The Senate went into the considera
tion of Executive business * after
which
The Senate adjourned.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES*
Mr. Floyd, who has been absent
from the House for seme weeks, on ac
count of ill health in his family, this
day resumed his seat.
This being the day for presenting
petitions, there were presented, among
others, the following:
By Mr. Rochester; the petiton of the
corporation of Georgetown, in this dis
trict, praying that the bill, now pend
ing before this House, to extend the ju
risdiction of Justices of the peace in
said district, may be passed into a law,
with an amendment directing the Jus
tice to summon a jury to try cases ex*
cee'ding 0, when required by either
of the partes.
By Mr. Warfield, a remonstrance,
counter to the above, from 26 inhabi
tants of the county and town of Alex*
andria.
Mr. Hardin, from the select commit*
tee appointed to inquire whether any
part of the yublic expenditure could be
retrenched, made a report thereon, in.
part, and at great length upon the va
rious subjects connected with the ex
penditures and revenue of the govern
ment, concluding with the following
resolutions.
Resolved, That the policy of resort
ing loans, for the support of govern
ment in time of peace, is unwise and in
expedient.
Resolved, That this government owe#
it to the people to take efficient mea
sures for the redemption of the public
debt.
Resolved. That the resources of thia
nation are such as to render unnecessa
ry a resort to a system of internal; di
rect, and indirect taxation.1
Resolved, That this government ought
to adopt such a system of retrenchment
as will dispense with mseleis expendi
