(Signed) S H Fitzhugh. - There was a steady stream of per sons from the opening to the closing of the treasury, to obtain silver change. Senate. The message jf veto of the reduction of the President's salary, was referred to the Committee on Civil Service. Oglesby was excused from the Mis sissippi Committee, and Ferry auth orized to fill the vacancy. The Committee on Claims reported a bill for the relief of G B Taylor aud E H Luckett. The Committee on Public BuildingB reported favorably on the bill to con firm the sale of the Marine Hospital at Natchez. The Impeachment Court resumed its session. The replication was read by the Clerk, at the request of Mr. Lord, of the managers. It sets forth that at the time the acts were done, and while the Committee of the House were considering articles impeaching Belknap, of which he was aware, he was Secretary of War, and that he re signed to avoid such impeachment. On these grounds the managers de mand that the plea be not allowed and that the Senate compel Belknap to answer. Counsel for Belknap de sired a copy of the replication and asked until Monday next to consider and answer the same. The following order was adopted : Ordered that the respondent file his rejoinder on or before the 24th of April, and that the secretary shall de liver a copy thereof to the Clerk of the House of Representatives, and that the House of Representatives file their sur-rejoinder, if any, on or before the 25th of April, a copv ot which shall be served on the counsel for the respond ent by the becretary. On motion of Mr. Edmunds, the Senate as a Court of Impeachment then adjourned till the 27thinst.,at 12:30. The legislative session was resumed. The bill defining the tax on malt liquors, amended and passed, goes to the House for concurrence. Counting the Presidential vote was resumed. Morton said he had never regarded it as a party measure. He spoke at some length as to the neces sity of having a new law on this sub ject, and said that since the bill had passed the Senate, a circumstance had been discovered which would startle the country when made public. Bayard inquired as to what was the nature of it? Morton said he would not mention names, but lt was a case wnere a v ice- President was counting the vote for President, being himself a candidate, and counted a false return in his own favor. The fact was in te possession of the Senator from Vermont. Bayard, of Delaware, spoke in favor of reconsidering the vote, and the ne cessity for a more perfect law on the subject. Thurman, referring to the statement of the Senator from Indiana, (Morton) in regard to a Vice-President counting a false vote, said he had seen it stated in the newspapers that this Vice-President, when his attention was called to the fact that the return was false, directed the clerk to count it and then tear up the paper. That great man never did such a thing. There was no use to conceal the name of that man: it was no less than he whose hand wrote the declaration of independ ence; it was no less a man than Thomas Jefferson. It would not do now to make such a charge as that against him. He (Thurman) would wait for the production of the evidence and he ventured to say that when it was produced, there would be nothing in it to impugn the integrity of Mr Jefferson, After further discussion by Messrs. Burnside, Randolph, Maxcy, Merri mon, and others, the vote by which the bill was passed was reconsidered, yeas 31, nays 13. The bill was placed on the calendar. The silver bill will be called up to morrow as unfinished business. Ex ecutive session. Adjourned. House. The impeachment man agers reported their replication, which was adopted.

Haynes, United States Commercial Agent, has telegraphed the State De partment from New Lariedo, Mexico, April 16, that the revolutionists hav e levied a forced loan there.on merchants of$2,00C; if not paid to-morrow (17th) the stores will be forced and goods will be sold. Among these there are American citizens Haynes applied to Fort Mcintosh for protection, but the commandant said he could not act without orders from Washington. The Secretary of War directs the Depart ment Commander to grant protection to American citizens against such law less outrages, as the Government of Mexico is unable to, but wishes caution to be exercised. The Secretary of War thinks the intention of this govern ment to protect its citizens, will per haps prove sufficient. The Secretary of the Navy will send a gun boat on the Rio Grande for the protection of Amer ican citizens. The steamer Marion has sailed from Port Royal for Tampa, Mexico.
