WEDHESBAY, APRIL 17*
IN SENATE.
On motion of Mt. Johnson, of Louisi*
ana, the Senate took up the bill for
the better organization of the District
Court of1 the United States, vtithin
| the state of Louisiana; (to divide the
i state into two districts;) and after some
! remarks by Mr. J. explanatory of the
object and the expediency of the pro
posed alteration, the bill was laid od
the table. v
Mr. Lowrie laid before the Senate a
resolution of the Legislature of Pa. in
relation to the militia fines assessed in
that state; which was read and ordered
to lie on the table.
J Mr. Van Buren laid before the Se
' nate a resolution of the Legislature of
' New York, instruoting the Senators
from that state to call the attention of
thegener&l government to the great im
portance of improving the navigation
of the Hudson river; which resolution
was read and refered to the committee
on Roada and Canals.
The Senate then resumed, in commit
tee of whole, Mv Holmes, of Maine, in
the chair, the coneioe ration of the bill
prescribing the mode of commencing,
prosecuting, and deciding controver
sies between states.
The debate was renewed on this bill
and continued with much earnestness
more than three hours.
Mr. Dickerson, of New Jersey, ad
dressed the senate at much length, to
sustain the expediency of passing the
bill, and in reply to the argument de
livered by Mr. Van Buren yesterday, a
gainst it.
Mr. King, of New York, spoke at
considerable length to shew that the
bill was unnecessary, inexpedient, and
ought not to pass;
- Mr. Southard replied, and urged a*
gain the necessity and the expediency
of this measure, to terminate the dis
putes which subsisted between several
of the states, relative to the boundary,
Mr. Van Buren, also, again spoke in
support of the ground taken by himself
yesterday, and by his colleague, Mr.
King, to day.
The debate on the part of all these
gentlemen referred a good deal to the
nature of the controversy existing be
tween the states of New York and New
Jersey; and they severally rejoined in
the discussion more than once
Mr. Barbour, and Mr. Macon, re*
specti vely, without going into the merit*
of any particular controversy submit*
ted their reasons for disapproving the
bill, arguing, chiefly, that such a bill
ought not to pass without some appa
rent necessity, and as its passage did
not appear indispensable, it would be
impolitic, as consequences might grow
out of it of much political inconveni
ence, dec.
Mr. Dickerson, in conclusion, ob«
served that, although no vote had been
taken, yet he had ascertained the opin*
ions of a number of the members on it •
and as the objection seemed to be the
general nature of the bill, he would
move an amendment, embracing the
existing cases of dispute between New
York and New Jersey, and New Jer
sey and Delaware; if these cases were
provided for, they wbuld obtain all they
desired. He would at present, howev
er, move to postpone the bill until to
morrow, and it was postponed accor
dii ;
engrossed bill to provide for as*
certaining claims and titles to lands in
the territory of Florida, was read *
third time, passed, and sent to the oth
er house for concurrence.'
The bill from the other House, t&
revive and continue in force, an act, d*>
daring the assent of CoBgress to cer
tain acts ef the state of Maryland and
Georgia, was also read the third time
and passed.
The bill from the house of Repre
sentatives to authorise the Secretary
of the Treasury to exchange a stock
bearing five per cent, for stocks bear
ing an interest of six and seven per
cent, was read a third time and passed
by yeas and nays—36 yeas, £ nays.
The nays were Mr. 3foc<m, and Mr.
Seymour.
The Senate then went into the con
sideration of Executive business; after
which they
Adjourned.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Mr. Bateman, from the committee tut
the Post Office and Post Roads, to
whom was referred a bill from the Se
nate for the relief of Thomas W. Bicot,
reported the same without amendment;
and ihp same was referred t* a eem«
mittee of the whole.
