Tuesday, August 4.
A message from the House of Representatives brought up a bill for making compensation to the President and Vice President of the United States, and desired the concurrence of the Senate therein;
Together with the appointment of Messrs. Wadsworth, Carroll, and Hartley, a committee, to join with a committee of the Senate to be appointed for the purpose, "to consider of and report when it will be convenient and proper that an adjournment of the present session of Congress should take place; and to consider and report such business, now before Congress, necessary to be finished before the adjournment, and such as may be conveniently postponed to the next session; and, also, to consider and report such matters, not now before Congress, but which it will be necessary should be considered and determined by Congress before an adjournment."
The Senate again entered on executive business, and advised and confirmed all the remainder of the list of appointments presented yesterday, one excepted.
