will be inferred, from our Congressional
journal, that a majority of the House of Rep
resentatives are seriously engaged in retrench-
ing the pubfick expenditures, and in taking
measures to prevent the waste of the publick
treasure by dishonest or careless agents. The
people cannot but wish complete success TO
all the well-directed efforts for this purpose.
There are, undoubtedly, in government
like this, many abuses to be corrected, much
extravaganza TO be repressed, and some dis
honesty to be fereted out. We hope it is the
wish OF the administration, it certainly is.
for its interest, as well as the interests of the.
people,-to accomplish all that the severest
scrutiny of Congress shall discover ought to be,
effected in this particular.
We notice that many motions for striking our
and for reducing items in the Appropriations
Bill, were made by Mr.. Cooke, of Tennessee.
This member, from the circumstance of him
self and two or three others wearing red uaist-
coats, has been faoetiously called the leader
OF the red-waistcoat party At any rate, he

THURSDAY, APRIL 4.--Some discussion arose
upon bill to allow a drawback of duties up
on the expectation of cordage made from for
eign hemp. 1t was advocated on the ground
of promoting the manufacturing and shipping
interest; and opposed from an apprehension
that it might discourage the home production
of hemp, without producing any beneficial
result. Postponed to Monday next.
FRIDAY, APRIL 5.-A bill passed to shird
reading, to enable the holders of incomplete
French and Spanish land titles, in the State
of Missouri, TO institute proce edings to try the
validity thereof, and to obtain complete titles
to the same when found valid
Adj. to Monday.
MONDAY, AFRTL 8.--The consideration of
the bid to allow drawback on the exporta-
ton Of cordage manufactured from foreign
hemp, was resumed. Adebate arose and con-
tinued till the hour of adjournment.
TUESDAY, APRIL 9.--The bill concerning
drawback on the expectation of certain ceS-
dage, was reJected-n to II.
The Senate agreed, without any objection,
to the resolutions from the House, fixing the
day Of adjournment.

MGYOR OF BOSTON.

We have copied from the Evening Gazette
an account of the late election in Boston for.
city officers. 1t seems that the division pro-
duced by the nomination Of two. such candi-
dates as Mr.. Otis and Mr.. Quincy, prevented
choice Of a Mayor.
The interest on this subject, manifested in
Boston, has, in some degree, been felt in the
country. Both the novelty of the OCCASION
and the distinguished character of the candi-
dates for the highest office, were calculated to
excite considerable interest among the people
of the State generally. The circumstance,
too, of the Irregular nomination. being oppos-
ed by the friends Of Mr.. Quincy-a man whose
political honour and Integrity is above suspic-
ion-contributed to increase that interest, and
to excite much curiosity to learn the true his
tory of the affair. Notwithstanding the re-
peated hints, given in the city papers, that Mr..
Quincy WAS pursuing a dishonourable coursey
and that his own character, as well as a regard
for those interests Of which he had always been
the able and Jealous supporter, required him
to decline being a candidate-it was not gem
orally believed that this obligation did, in fact,
rest upon him. 1t was at least conjectured
that, when the subject should be explained, it
would be found that he was actuated by other
motives than desire to thrust himself forward,
or a disposition to create discord where he
ought to seek to promote harmony.
Now fhaf ho troll hoo RooX bad n o~,oncc,
if the explanation of his supporters is to be re-
lied upon, that it was at least uncertain wheth-
er Mr.. Otis was entitled to support, as the reg
ularly nominated candidate. 1t seems he was
declared such, at the meeting regularly held
for that purpose, without having had naajori.
ty Of all the votes given by the, Ward Dele
gates--he having IFS; Mr.. Quincy, ITO; and
Mr.. Sergeant, 49, 1t has been limited, also,
that had the voting, at that meeting, ceased at
the time it had been supposed it would, Mr..
Quincy would have had the majority.
We mention these circumstances as they
have come to our ears, presuming that many
of our readers are DESTROYS to have the expla-
nation of conduct, which, unexplained, might
go far to diminish their high estimation of
distinguished fellow-citizen.
The consequence of this unpleasant business
is, that both Mr. Otis and MIR. Quincy are no
longer candidates. The name Of the former
(who is now at Washington,) has been with
drawn by his friends, on the ground that he
had consented to be a candidate, only in case
there was prevalent in his favour ga general,
unsolicited sentiment among those Of his fe-
low-citizens who have hitherto supported his
political course !" and from the belief that
