WASHINGTON, june z, 1846


Congress.


The two houses are proceeding in their work
as eisurey as if it were the sixth week instead Of
the beginning of the seventh month Of the sss-
sion.


The movement Of Mr.. Lewis to-day, in the Se-
nate, for call upon the President as to the ex-
pediency of modifying the tariff, with a view to
the collection Of larger revenue, would argue
that he is not a decided convert to the National
Fair. We informed meantime, that Mr.
Walker is engaged in cyphering out another plan
than that originally handed to the committee OF
ways and means, and that prodigious effort
will be made to reduce the duties of AZ a
measure. We are rather inclined to suspect that
the tariff Of AZ will go over to next December
without abridgfhent or abrasion, notwithstand-
ing same of the sub-trcasury.
Oregon is referred to the Judiciary Committee
with implied instructions that they are not TO re-
port the bill till the last day of the session, which
completely demolishes the instructions OF Father
Richie to the Senate, for immediate action upon
" all the other Oregon measures from the House,
collateral to the notice.


The House to-day were plodding slowly along
with the bill for the increase OF the officers of tho
regular army; and during the discussion to-day,
Secretary Marcy came in for number of side
licks. ~ a5
Business, SO far as there is any business in
Washington, except Office hunting, is in statw
quo.
