The Concurrent Resolutions.

Washington, March 3. —The senate committee on judiciary has not yet taken any action on the subject of the extent and power of concurrent resolutions passed by congress, and whether or not the executive has authority to veto them, or whether they are merely an expression of the opinion of congress. As the resolutions relative to Cuba are concurrent, the decision of the judiciary committee on this point will be interesting. It is understood that Senators Hoar <ind Hill, w T ho were appointed a subcommittee to consider this matter, will request the opinion of the attorney general upon the resolutions introduced by Senator Hill.
