f Congress to adjourn at 12 M. When the hour of 12 arrived it was resolved to prolong the session till two P. M., and afterwards the hour was extended to three P. M., in order to give the President time to approve certain acts hitherto passed. Mr. Semmes, of Louisiana, called up the bill to repeal the tariff, but the Senate did not entertain his motion. Mr. Clay, of Alabama, called the attention of the Senate to the necessity of electing a President pro tem, and nominated R. M. T. Hunter, who was elected, the rule requiring balloting being suspended. Finally, the Senate adjourned till the second Monday in August next. The House also spent most of the day with closed doors. A committee of conference was appointed on the proposed House amendment to the Exemption bill — namely, to relieve from the operation of the Conscription ct all persons exempted by State law. The House finally receded from its amendment, and the bill passed as it came from the Senate.
