antgr&rs.—On Saturday,- a Presidential
veto of the Ocean mail steamer aPpropriatiou
bill .was reciev,ed, after which the bill was
stripped of its objectionable features, and
passed again in such a shi pe as to rester
the Collins contract to its former position.—
The General Appropriation bill was very ex
tensively amended by the Senate. A com
promise of the difference between the two
houses on the army - appropriation bill was
effected, and the bill passed. The , Senate
in executive session, confirmed as Judges t,
the Court of Claims, the nominations o
Messrs. Gilchrist, of New llamshire, Lttin p
kin, of Ga., and Blackford, Indiana, and ft
Solicitor of the same court, Montgomery
Blair. Also of the Field officers of the new
regiments provided ford by the Army bill,
and a Consul-general at Simoda, Japan. All
the appropriation bills passed both houses,
the most trouble being In refference to the
Civil and Diplomatic or general approprin
Lion. The session was protracted through
Saturday night, and up to twelve oclock yet
terday morning; and such was the confu
sion attendant -upon the proceedings, that i
is impossible to say what were the items
the bills Tossed. The appropriations t ,
build Post Offices in New York, Philadelphia
and Boston, failed. When the veto of the
Mail Steamer bill was received in the House,
an exciting scene occurred, but soon ended,
the endeavor to get up a•storm proving ab
ortive. Mr. Benton refused to acknowledge
the legality of the session on Sunday morn
ing, when his name was called upon a vote.
The house agreed to the Senate's amend
ment striking out the new tariff from the
General Appropriation Bill. In the Senate
Mr. Douglas endeavored to get the Oregon
State Bill passed. but failing , it was after
wards attached as an amendment to a Pri
vate Pension bill.
