After the presetation of numero'is peti

This being the last %t the session,
and there being a vast amount of business
on hand, there was a simultaneous stout of
'Mr.Speaker,' the moment the j.nirnal had
been read. But there stood that dignitary
with hammer in hand, like an Rue
tioneer, heedless of the cry. Finally, af
'er a brief survey of the applicants, he
knocked down the fl )in to Mr. Bi igge•—
he rnz,ved to print extra copies of a recent
report from ihe Post Office Department.
Mr. Adams asked leave to offer a reso.>
lution, providing that hereafter, whenever
a judge of the IT. S. Supreme Court shall
die while the Court is in session, his place
shall be supplied from the non-slavehold
ing States, kc. Objections being made,
the resolution was ni,t entertained.
The House then went into committee
arid resumed the consideration, of the civ
il and diplomatic appropriati in bill.
The item under consideration c as 8100,

Mr. Chailes Brown had moved to a
mend the amendment by reducing the ap

Dear Sir:-1 was really surprised last
evening by Mr. Wiley telling me that cep•
fain pers ins were reporting in PittsEurgh
that s one democrats, Porter men of course,
had come by mistake into my room, and
found you there. 1 was surprised at this sto•
ry, because I well recollect that the only
time you were seeing me in my room, was
o.ic evening when yon called to see me in
company with some other oerson, I forget
whom, and found John B. Butler with me,
engaged, of course, in some grand conspi.
racy against some persons to this deponent
unknown.
I write this, on my own mere notion, be.
cause I would not wish to hive even a dog
hung for coining into my company, and
because I would prefer, if one is to he ex
ecuted, that at least the right one should be
selected. Yours respectfully,
