AMERICAN SENATORA.—The spectacle that is pre-
Rented in our Congresaional wisdoms is one that stinks in
the nostrils of the whole country. Tim,. is frittend
away with an incessant wrangling that is disgraceful to
a deliberative assembly. Language that would be
expected only from the lowest ripe of isiciety is coni
tinually heard upon its floor. Scoundrel and liar are
among the frequent epilhet% applied by ineitsbvrs to each
other; and when their lungs tire with vitupwative
repetition, • fisticuff fight in the aisles and open *paces
before the Speaker's chair is brought in sus • relief. Out
of doors the scene iS no better. Canes are broke' over
each other's heads, brickbats are thrown. and pistils are
nut unfrequently resorted to. These are the da:tniao
occupations of the inembers. If we could follow ;hem
into their nightly haunts. scenes still more disguiting
would inset our view. The riot and filth of the roaring
debauch would be time ~,,, venial, and from that
Coolies every act of unbridled license, ending in the
gainbling-house or the brothel. Their ciiitrses of life
would disgrace the occupants of our penitentiary, while
those of our New York penitentiary at least have the
merit of earning their living by their labour, which
more than can be said of the memben of l'ongrem. In
this disgraceful picture no distinction of parties can be
made. All are alike an their blackgiardisin, corruption,
and rascality. It is not the discumisii of public business
that gives rise to these Seeing. bu: it is the constant
quarrelling, intriguing. cheating. and lying that are
carried oia for private and political purposes. Every
man has his blustering and shouderhitting partisans
at home to reward or defend his own viilws of personal
advanoement, his particular cliqui to advance, and some
ambitious aspirant for the Presidency to help to force

upon his party. With some the motive is power; with
others, money ; with others. again, fear of exposure;
while not a few are unix obeying their own vile instincts.
In this way the power of the country is weakened, the
revenue squandered by millions, the Government dis-
graced, and the people plundered. The President may
do his duty, but, unsustained as he is by I 'ongreas, he Can
Ido nothing, lie has not the power to set, and we have
already seen, even in the last semion, how impossible it
,is to get Congress to do anything eiTective. The request
for power in the cases of our Central American and
Paraguayan difficulties was first refused, and the last
only granted at the last moment. In fact, every loan,
instead tif being actuated by a sincere tiedre to advance
the interests of the Conntl7, ...VIII, to be raider a constant
! fear that somebody may get a chance to it., something
that will make him prou t i ttttttt before the people. There
is no remedy for these evil* hut to bring into the Presi-
dency some man whose set vices have made Iran known
to the country, and who has the energy to act, and with
' I a Congress that will act. General Scott has said
that an energetic President, with a patriotic and work-
ing Congress to hack I , mull, by giving to the execu-
tive branch of the government proinpitude and efficiency,
reduce our national expenses in two years to forty
millions of dollars. It is 51 ch a change as this that the
people are called upon to make, for the coons: which the
- present Congress is pursuing is one that always leads to
despotism. Like our own, the members of the last
National Misembly of France frittered away their time
and reputation until the isstple were iejoiced to have
Louis Napoleon step in and overthrow them. 140, tow.

We must have a revolution in the character of Congresa,

INDIA AND CHINA.
The following is f the Caicartii &Oshawa of the
fith of Deeember :—The principal event which we have
to-record by the ',resent mail is the surrender of the
ISlawali of Banda, who was one of the leading rebel
chiefs, and has hitherto successfully escaped all pursuit.
The other rebel chief, Tatitia Topee, is 411 at large, and
baffles all efforts of the forces which have repeatedly
endeavoured to cut of his retreat, though several times
it appeared that he could not avoid falling into our
hands. FroIII OW official intelligence furnished to the !
press it will lie iibserved that the operations of the
seseral .cable cid a, apes ad over a large tract of
country, consisted chiefly in the ilisperaion of the rebels
without any decisive blow being struck, and that, in
fact, there has been a great deal of marching and
countermarching, crossing rivers and n.wrussing, and
various other ~,,, vements, the object of which is as un-
intelligible WI the results of them are unsatisfactory.
The sentence of transportation passed some months ago
upon his Majesty the ex-King of Delhi has at last been

accompanied by two of his wives, and several other
members of his family, who follow him in his exile.
The party hol taken care to provide themselves with

excursion. It was industriously circulated, though not
officially, that he was to be conveyed to Mangum), but,
as no possible reason for such a destination could be
given, it was generally disbelieved, and it gradually
oozed out that the Cape of Good Hope was to be
honoured with the custody of the aged assassin.
