Mr. Sargent called up his joint resolution in regard to Chinese immigration, and made a speech thereon. James Gordon Bennett's request that the Pandora be allowed to sail under the American flag was agreed to by the committee on commerce, and after some unimportant business the senate adjourned until Monday. House.-Mr. McMahon, from the committee on accounts, repor* a resolution authorizing the committee on rules to employ seven experts to be assigned by the speaker to such committee of investigation as may seem proper. Mr. Foster said this was but a proposition to increase the number ot dead beats from Ohio, who last year drew thousands from the contingent fund of the house. This brought about some little discussion, and Mr. Springer offered a substitute authorizing the committee on expenditures in the several departments of the government to employ each a clerk or expert, and also authorizing the committee on post offices and roads to employ two experts, which was adopted, and the house went into committee of the whole on the deficiency of the appropriation bill, which was finally passed after considerable discussion.
