That of the judge of the district of Columbia from 800 to 1000. And that of the attorney general from 1500 to 2000. The house agreed to these amendments, except the last.
A resolution was received from the senate, that it be recommended to the several states to pass laws to make it the duty of the keeper of their several goals, to receive and keep therein, persons committed under the authority of the United States, until they be discharged by due course of law. The United States to pay fifty cents a month for each person confined, and also to pay for all persons committed therein for offences against the United States.
Mr. Walworth, from the committee to whom was referred the report of the secretary of the treasury, reported a bill for defraying the expenses of the civil department of war, for warrants issued for the superintendence of the same, and to pay the invalid pensions.
The bill was read a first and second time, and committed to a committee of the whole, to be taken up to-morrow morning.
The report on the petition of the Baron de Glonbeck was agreed to, allowing him fifteen months pay as a captain in the late continental army.
A message was received from the senate, that they had received from their amendments for raising the salary of the Attorney General, and had appointed a committee of conference on the disagreement between the houses on the amendments to the constitution.
On motion of Mr. Vining, the report of the committee on the petition of the public creditors was read, and agreed to.
On motion of Mr. Gerry, the house resolved, that the secretary of the treasury be ordered to apply to the supreme executive of the several states for the state of their public debts, and the funds appropriated for the discharge of the principal and interest of the same; and the amount of the tax office, and other securities of the United States in possession of the several states. Adjourned.
TUESDAY, September 22.
The bill for establishing the permanent seat of government, was brought in, engrossed and read the third time. On the question, shall this bill pass?
Mr. Carroll said he felt himself under peculiar circumstances on the decision of this important question. The house had determined that the permanent seat of the government of the United States should be on the Susquehanna in Pennsylvania, and not in Maryland or the Potomack. It was his opinion that the last would have been most conducive to the interest of the union. The voice of the majority of this house is against it. The Supreme Court, being the next object most likely to attain what I have laid down as the rule of my conduct on this occasion, and at the same time must be agreeable to the wishes of a great part of my constituents. I felt myself under an obligation to vote for the Susquehanna, upon obtaining the clause which made it obligatory upon the states of Maryland and Pennsylvania, to concur in opening the navigation of
that river and nothing would restrain me from giving my assent to the bill, but that clause which requires the concurrence of the President respecting the seat of government until Congress meet at their permanent seat. To this clause I have strong constitutional objections. they were yesterday fully stated to this house by other gentlemen.
I have endeavoured to remove this conviction from my mind, in order to give my assent to the bill, but as I am under the sacred obligation of an oath to support the constitution, as I cannot efface the conviction from my mind, that it is contrary to the constitution, and as we could not succeed in striking out the clause, I feel myself under the disagreeable necessity of giving my dissent to it.
The yeas and nays on passing the bill, being required by one-fifth of the members present, were as follows:
YEAS. Messrs Ains, Baldwin, Beason, Cagney, Coates, Floyd, Foster, Fitzsimons, Gale, Gilman, Grout, Goodhue, Hartley, Hathorn, Jackson, Lawrence, Leonard, Livermore, Michelson, Partridge, Rawsthorne, Scott, Severy, Schureman, Sylvester, Smith, M c Farland, Sine, Thatcher, Trumbull, Walworth, Winkler.
NAYS. Messrs Bland, Boudinot, Briver, Cadwallader, Carroll, Cales, Lee, Madison, Matthews, Moore, Parker, Sherman, Smith (S.C.) Sumpter, Tucker, Vining, White.
A resolution was passed rescinding the former vote for adjourning yesterday, and proposing Saturday. This resolution having been sent to the senate, was agreed to by that honorable body.
A message was received from the President of the United States, notifying that he had approved of the act for establishing the compensation of the members.
The bill for altering the time of the annual meeting of Congress, was read a first time and committed.
The house went into a committee on the bill to alter the time of the annual meeting of Congress, and adapted to the constitution of the United States, the establishment of a permanent seat of government.
The house went into a committee on the bill to recognize and adapt to the constitution of the United States, the troops raised by resolution of the late Congress, was read a third time, and passed the house. The bill to appropriate certain sums of money, was taken up in a committee of the whole house, agreed to, and ordered to be engrossed for a third reading. The bill to alter the time proposed by the constitution for the annual meeting of Congress, was taken up and agreed to, when it was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading. This bill proposes that the meeting of Congress shall be on the first Monday in January. The bill brought in by Mr. Bland to explain the act for regulating the coasting trade, so far as respects Petersburg, in Virginia, was taken into consideration, an ordered to be engrossed for a third reading.

LEXINGTON, Jan. 16.
Extract from the journals of the General Assembly of this Commonwealth.
WEDNESDAY, October 28
To GEORGE WASHINGTON, Esq. President of the United States,
"SIR,
"IT has been a great relief to our apprehensions for the safety of our brethren, on the frontiers, to learn from the communications of the Secretary at War, that their protection against the incursions of the Indians has occupied your attention.
"Knowing the power of the Federal Executive to concentrate the American force for this salutary purpose, and confiding in the wisdom of its measures, we should leave the subject unnoticed, but from a belief that the harmony between the two governments will be increased by a free communication of intelligence. Many Members of the General Assembly now present, have been either witnesses of the recent murders and depredations committed by the savages, or have brought with them information, the truth of which cannot be questioned. These hostilities are too great in number to bear a minute detail, and too excessive in degree to be described in the compass of this address. Permit us then to say, that these parts of Kentucky, and the South Western and Northern counties, lying on the Ohio and its waters, which have generally been the scene of Indian barbarity, are now pressed by danger the most imminent; and cut off by the remoteness of distance from the hope of being defended by the Federal arms early enough for their security.
"We have been induced to suppose it possible, that for the purpose of affording effectual relief: it may be found expedient to carry war into the country of the Indian enemy. Should we not err in this conjecture, we take the liberty of assuring you, that this Commonwealth will cheerfully sustain her proportion of the expenses, which may be incurred in such an expedition.
"The same causes which induced us thus to offer the treasure of Virginia, hath given birth to another proceeding, which we think proper to communicate to you—it is indeed in vain, on us to make this communication, least in case of silence it might be interpreted into a design of passing the limits of state authority.
"Chiefs of the Chickasaw nation have desired the General Assembly for a supply of ammunition; the advanced season of the year, and their anxiety to return home owing to the perilous situation of their nation, who were in daily expectation that hostilities would be commenced against them by the Creeks, have determined them to stop here, and not proceed to New York, the place of their original destination.
"The resolution which we have now the honor of enclosing you, will therefore be executed in their favor; and we trust that our conduct, from the peculiar circumstances of the case, will be acceptable to yourself, and the Congress of the United States, and being approved that we shall receive retribution for the expenses we have thereby incurred."
Mr. Bradford, please to give the following a place in your next.
I SHOULD be wanting in my duty to my fellow-citizens and ungrateful to Doctor Basil Duke of Lexington, if I concealed the following particulars. About the time of the last August Court, I received a hurt in one of my feet, which was in a state of mortification by the fifteenth of September. I then applied to Mr. Duke, who by his great attention, good judgment and humanity, makes me believe those who need his assistance as a Physician, cannot be wrong in their application to him. Given under my hand this 13th day of January 1790.
