Mr. President, I have a resolution that I wish to present. I believe the rule requires it to lie over for one day. I therefore simply present it, so that it may lie over until to-morrow: Resolved, That the President of the United States he re quested to inform the Senate whether he lias received any evidence of such resistance to the execution of the laws in Kansas as to require the interposition of military force for the restoration or preservation of law and order in that Territory; and if he has received such evidence, that he will lay the same before the Senate, and also copies of any order which may have been issued by his authority for the employment of military force in said Territory, if any such order has been issued." COMMUNICATION FROM THE PRESIDENT. Mr. TOUCEY. Mr. President, the committee appointed to wait on the President of the United States and inform him of the organization of the Senate, have performed that duty, and received for answer that the President would send a communication to the Senate this morning. ELECTION OF OFFICERS. Mr. ADAMS. I ask leave to present a resolution: Resolved, That the Senate will, on Monday next, at one o'clock, elect a Secretary, Sergeant-at-Arms and Doorkeeper, and Assistant Doorkeeper. I desire to say, Mr. President, in offering this resolution, that it is not intended as a reflection upon any officer of this body. When, two years ago, I offered a similar resolution, which was adopted then, I did it upon the ground that we were a new Congress, to some extent at least, and that it was right in principle that each Congress should elect its own officers. I have no anxiety upon the subject. I merely offer the resolution for the consideration of the Senate, to be adopted or not, as in their judgment they may think proper. Under the existing rules the present officers will continue until otherwise ordered by the Senate. I have thought it right to offer the resolution now, as I gave notice at the last Congress that I should. Mr. STUART. I presume it is not intended to ask for action on the resolution at this time. Mr. ADAMS. No, sir; let it lie over until to Mr. ADAMS gave notice of his intention to ask leave to introduce a bill to amend the naturalization laws. Mr. SUMNER gave notice of his intention to ask leave to introduce a bill to secure the wages of seamen in cases of wreck. Mr. WELLER gave notice of his intention to ask leave to introduce a bill to authorize the Postmaster General to contract for the transportation of the United States mails in four-horse coaches, tri-weekly, from St. Louis, in Missouri, to San Francisco, in California. PRIVATE CLAIMS. Mr. BELL, of Tennessee. I offer the following resolution: Resolved, That all private claims upon which reports were made or ordered by any committee of the Senate at its last session, and all bills of a private character that were on the Calendar at its close, together with the accompanying papers, be, and they are hereby, referred to the Court of Claims. I do not know, Mr. President, that there is any particular necessity for the passage of such a resolution now, but it occurred to me that it would be proper to adopt the course which I have proposed. We shall be occupied a great deal with private claims hereafter, unless we take some such course as this. There are claims of an anomalous character which cannot be assigned to any particular or specific class designated in the act establishing the Court of Claims. I have no special case in view in offering this resolution. I merely present it at this early day for the action of the Senate, that we may know whether or not we are to be occupied, as usual, with claims which were pressed on our attention at previous sessions. Claims which are unacted upon at the close of a Congress are generally renewed without any contest; and I have presented this resolution in order to have it settled whether or not all classes of claims before us should not be assigned to the court established for their adjudication. Mr. HUNTER. I would suggest to the honorable Senator the propriety of allowing the resolution to lie over. The PRESIDENT. No, sir; it lies over until to-morrow. Mr. CLAYTON. Mr. President, as a general court. principle, I shall be very willing to refer claims to the Court of Claims; but I am not willing, without more reflection, to pass a resolution referring every claim now before the Senate to that exist many cases which it would be improper to I can readily conceive, sir, that there may refer to that court. There may be cases involving but of that character which a court would decline political questions-questions not merely of law, flected much upon the subject that there may be to adjudicate. It is possible-for I have not reother cases which ought not to be referred to the I think, therefore, it would be better to let this resolution stand until we shall have had time to reflect upon the subject. It is possible that we may pass some general order referring claims to the Court of Claims; but so sweeping a one as this, I should hesitate much to vote for. I think we had better let the subject stay for the present, hold it in our hands, reflect on it, and in the course of the session we may devise some court. am anxious, as a general principle, that the Senate should get rid of these private claims. I think, however, it would be dangerous to pass such a resolution as this at present. Mr. BELL, of Tennessee. I do not press it to-day. Mr. BELL, of Tennessee. I have no objec-general order that may be proper. I repeat, I tion at all to its being allowed to lie on the table for the present, though I think it ought to be disposed of in some way, so that we may not be harassed with applications to consider claims which should more properly be assigned to the Court of Claims. I learn that a similar resolution was passed at the close of the last session by the House of Representatives; and I cannot see that there is any impropriety in the Senate's undertaking to pursue the same course. If, however, the Senator from Virginia wishes the resolution to lie over until to-morrow morning, I have no objection. Mr. BRODHEAD. Mr. President, it will be observed that this resolution is very general in its character. Private claimants know the purport of the law which we passed at the last session; they know the extent of jurisdiction which has been conferred on the Court of Claims; and if they desire to have their cases referred to that court, they will make their desire known to their representatives on this floor, and have each particular ce so referred. It may be that there are a large number of claimants who do not desire to A bill directing the payment to the Hon. have their claims referred to the court. If so, George P. Marsh, for judicial services under the we had better not pass any resolution on the subact of 11th of August, 1848, while Minister resi-ject, but let every claimant take care of his own dent at Constantinople, at the rate of $1,000 per Mr. FOOT gave notice of his intention to ask leave to introduce the following bills: annum. A bill making compensation to the Hon. George P. Marsh for his services and expenditures on a special mission to the Government of Greece, under the authority and direction of the Government of the United States, and for negotiating a treaty with the Government of Persia. A bill making appropriations for the erection of a suitable building for the accommodation of the circuit and district courts of the United States, and the several offices connected therewith, and of the post office at Rutland, Vermont. A bill making appropriations for the continuation and completion of the breakwater in the harbor of Burlington, on Lake Champlain. case. Mr. BELL, of Tennessee. Mr. President, it was to obviate the very occurrence which the honorable Senator from Pennsylvania suggests, that I thought it proper to pass a general resolution of this character. If we do not pass it, we shall have to discuss hereafter the propriety of referring each individual claim to the Court. This seems to me to be a useless consumption of time. Besides, I think, it ought not to depend on the discretion or the will of a claimant, whether he will present his case to Congress or the Court of Claims. According to the spirit and intention of the law which we passed at the last session, it was the interest of Congress, and, as we presumed, the interest of the public, to refer to the adjudication of an appropriate tribunal those private claims which had previously occupied so large a portion of the time of the Senate and House of Representatives. I know it was sug A bill to extend the benefits of the bounty land act of the 3d March, 1855, to all those who turned out as volunteers on the occasion of the invasion of Plattsburg, in September, 1814, and making parol testimony admissible proof of such volun-gested that the establishment of that tribunal was teer service. WITHDRAWAL OF PAPERS. Mr. BRODHEAD. I ask leave to withdraw from the files of the Senate the memorial of Holker Hughes, legal representative and one of the heirs of Samuel Hughes, praying indemnity for property destroyed by the enemy during the last war with Great Britain. The memorialist desires to lay the case before the Court of Claims. Leave was granted. by way of experiment. It may be said that it is still an experiment; but that does not meet the object of passing this resolution. We are making an experiment to see whether or not private claims cannot be passed upon with justice by a body which does not rely upon merely ex parte examinations. With a view to carry out the spirit of the act of the last session, and in conformity with its intention, I have thought that it would be proper to pass a general resolution of this kind. I do not mean to press it now. I under the rules. The PRESIDENT. The resolution lies over CREDENTIALS. Mr. CRITTENDEN. The Senate were kind enough, sir, to admit me to my seat on Monday, when I had not sufficient evidence of my election I present to the Senate, now, my credentials, and ask that they be filed. The eredentials were received, and ordered to be placed on the file. Mr. SEWARD. If no Senator has any business to offer, I move that the Senate adjourn. The motion was agreed to, and the Senate adjourned. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The House was called to order by the Clerk at twelve o'clock, m. The Journal of yesterday was read and approved. Hon. JAMES L. SEWARD, a Representative from Georgia, and Hon. José MANUEL GALLEGOS, Delegate from the Territory of New Mexico, appeared, and took their seats. Mr. FLORENCE.
