In the House Of Representatives on Sat
urday, Mr.. Houston concluded his remarks
4 in support of the resolution of Mr.. Saun.
lers. the rule having been suspended which
confines the discussion OH motion and reso-
lutions to single hour. Mr.. Wright rose
| in reply, when the Speaker put an end to
the discussion. The bills which had passed
through committee on the preceding day
were then read a third time and passed


The House then went into Committee OF
the whole on the bill for the preservation
and repair Of the Cumberland road. As
this bill was reported, it contained provis-
ion regulating the tolls, and appropriatine
Al, GOO dollars for the repair and preservation
OF the road. Mr.. Barney moved a Substitute
for this bill, which ,nerely appropriated
10000 dollars for the repair of the road; ant
left the disputed question as to the power o
Congress to erect toll gates, and collect toll:
in the states, until next session. This wa!
adopted in committee, but in the House the
appropriation was reduced to $4,000 dollars


The substitute was supported by all th'


friends OF che bill, and by some who wcrt
opposed to the erection of toll gates; ant
there IS no doubt that this compromise, b,
preventing a long discussion of constitution
al power, ensured the passage Of the bill
through the House. The House came to
resolution to take daily recess from TO
