Relative to that part Of Mr. Everett's Speech, CON
cluded in this days paper-the Washington Cores
pondeDt of the Boston Courier remarks.
| In another part of his speech, he spoke with great
earnestness against the attacks upon the admnstra
ton before it had an opportunity Of doing any thing
worthy either OF praise censure, and conended that
long this kind of attack upon men in official sta
tions was authorised by public indulgence, so long
we should waste the moral and intellectual wealth of
the country, worth intellectually more than all the
wealth Of the treasury. In connection with this part
vt his subject, Mr.. Everett adyerted to pamphlet
lately published for Isaac Hin Concord N. H.''
and he related domestic anecdote respecting Mr..
Adams family while he was minister at ST. Peters
burg, and then read from Mr.. Hills pamphlet the
version of the story there contained-endng with
appeal to the moral sensibiity Of those who heard
him in manner so eloquent and impressive as to
produce universal thrill Of horror, and of disgust
towards the author of the pamphlet Toward the
conclusion he paid a handsome and wel-deserved
compliment to Mr.. Bell of Tennessee, who spoke
on the same resolution on Tuesday last; md pursu-
ing beautiful metaphor. introduced by Mr.. Bell,
he most happily applied to the individual who is now
the rival of Mr.. Adams for the presidency, and his
friends, the fable of Acteon and his hounds. Mr..
Everett's speech will probably be reported in full
for both of the journals here. 1t will be read,
as it should be, with avdity, but it cannon have the
effect on the reader that it had on the auditors. The
first part of it consists of DETAIL references TO laws
and the early practice Of the government it will be
called elaborate and dry, but it will be also found
argumentative and satisfactory. In laborng OH this
part of his address, Mr. +. evidently exhausted his
physical power, to a considerable egree but the
remainder was nevertheless powerful and eloquent.
1t has been pronounced the most eloquent speech
that has yet been delivered during the session.

CONGRESSIONAL.
February 12, 1928.

February H. 1898.
In the Senate yesterday, the Bill providing for
Mrs. Susan Decatur and others, was passed. The
report from the Select Committee to which the re-
vsal of the rules Of the Senate was referred, was
taken up, and the amendments proposedby them
were adopted. On the amendment proposed by
Mr.. Foot relative to the powers and duties of the
Vice President, considerable discussion arose, when
the amendment was LAID on the table.
The House of Representatives occupied from
the time when the presentation of petitions and re-
ports terminated, until half past O'Clock. IN dis
cussion which grew out of report of the Commit
tee on Military Affairs, the subject of the Court
Martial at Mobile. The report acquits Gen. Jack
son and the Court. motion was made hv Mr..
Hamilton, the chairman of the Committee, to print
the report, together with the documents from the
War Department, as they had been arranged by the
Committee. This led to long discussion. The
motion was resisted with much force by several
members; and Mr.. Storrs move to strike out so
much of the resolution as provided that the report
should be printed together with the documents. A
motion was made by Mr.. Beecher to postpone the
further consideration of the discussion till Monday,
which was negatived by vote of 10 to II The
amendment Of Mr.. Storrs was also negatived by a

EAST ROOM TALE.

Mr.. Anderson of Penns, vania, said in Congress.
The supposed prodisality and extravaganza of
the Government for some time past, had afforded a
theme for defamation throughout every part Of the
United States. Newspaper e,sayists had been clam
orous on the subject. And where he would ask,
have we been told, we should find evidence.of this
prodigal expenditure Of the public revenue ? In
the subordinate Offices of the Treasury Department.
No, Sir Where, then, are we told we should find
it? In the East Room. There, it has been bold
ly asserted would be found the glitterng and cost
~ representatives of thousands of public money.
There, Sir, we have been informed, we should find
the most incontestbe evidences of the extravaganza
and prodgslity Of the present Administration. And
what is the fact After being led by curiosity, or
by the garng light of this gnis fatuus. to its pre-
tended location, what do we find Nothing, except
few chairs, apparently of domestic manufacture,
and of little value.

MANUFACTURE OF SILK.

Mr. Rush, the Secretary of the Treasury, has
made Report and prepared a Manual, containing
the best practicable information the growth and
manufacture of Silk, adapted to the different parts
Of the Union &c. This Report has been delayed in
consequence of the necessary correspondence on
this subject coextensye with the Union, and with
several foreign countries well as for the purpose Of
preparing plates for the better illustration Of some
parts Of the machinery used in manufacturing Silk
Six thousand copies Of the Report and Manual have
been ordered to be printed, and they probably will
be circulated within week or two, by the members
of the House of Representatives. This RAPPORT has
been expected with some interest, in different Sec
tons Of our country but it will be particularly ac-
ceptabe in many parts Of our peninsula, where the
soil is SO well adapted to the growth ofthe mulberry
tree.

himself ON the Niagara frontier in the last war;, in
the course of his speech on Thursday, said. 1.-THE

are persuaded that but few men, how Tar gone Soc
yer, in iloary to Gen. Jackson, read this senli-
ment, without feeling their boud rush in Indignation
to their hearts ! Fools had sported such an anony-
nous opinion in the newspapers, and there had not
been wanting some few fanatical admirers OF Jack
son. who thro' the same medium laid claim to his
equality with Washington. But for Member Of
Congress- to rise in his place and to subserve his own
purpose of currylng favor with Gen. Jackson-or at
best to advance the purposes of party, seek deb-
eratey to degrade the character Of the father OF his
country--ls psrverson Of decency and right rea

The author of the Retrenchmens Resolutions,
must be some what mortified to find, that he was
not deemed ofsulicent consequence by the Jackson
Speaker, to be placed on the committee to which

usage the mover of any proposition becomes, we
believe, as of course. the chairman of the commit

furnishes an exception to this general rule.-Ihis

grounds, nor, in our opinion, could any man have
given it on indisputable grounds, until within one
month. We shall shortly bring before the public
statement ofthe votes ofthe counties, which will be
predicated on the most minute information, and IT
we mistake not, will greatly surprze the friends Of
Gen. Jackson. We say it will surprize them, be-
cause many of that party have been deceived. The
vision of the great body of them has not extended
to the real state of things in this state. few OF
their more keen sighted leaders have for three
months been under great alarm, aud recently their

SEAroRD, 5th Feb. 1885,
Mr.. Harher.-As much has been said on the sub
iect of the Commission issued for Major John
Wiltbank, late Captain of Cavalry, deem it my
duty to slve the public such information as am III
possession Of On the 18th September last being
in compny with Capt. Wiltbank, and the First
Lieutenant of bis Troop, was asked if the Caval-
ry attached 10 the Third Brigade were not entitled
to Majority My answer was that it was yet
doubtful, as Capt Laws return was not yet received
by me. Capt. Laws return was received on the
18th November. On the Goth November | wrote
to the Governor. and informed him that two Troops
Of Horse were organized, attached to the Third Brl-
ssde, and solicited him to Commission j. Wltbank,
Esq Major he being the eldest Captain, which
would enable me to return the Cavalry OF the Third
Brigade in Battalion. On the 18th day OF Decem-
Der last, fell in company with Capt A. Porter, OF
Wilmington, with whom travelled from st. Geor-
ges to Dover ,where arrived at halt past O'CLOCK
2. NJ. Capt. P. informed me that he wished to
see the Governor and solicited me to walk with him
to the office of the Secretary of State, which did,
We had been there but few minutes before the
Governor and Secretary came in. Capt. +. SAID TO
the Governor that the Lieutenants OF his company
had resigned, and he wished others commissioned
before he made his return |; and at the same time
recommended two persons who were Immediately
commissioned
then informed the Governor that had written
tohim few days previous. He said my letter had
not been received.
then stated to him the contents Of the letter,
and after some examination for dates of Commits
slons, he directed the Secretary to issue Majors
Commission for John Wiltbank, Esq. and give it to
me. This was about 10 O'Clock, p. NJ. The Sec
retary said he would send it tome the next morning.

PARTIES IN INDIANA.

AS might have been easily foretold, much is
made Of the late elections in this state The Ma
donal InteiIigencer, and other Washington CITY
papers, Niles Register, the Philadelphia, Ken
lucky and several other administration editors pro-
claim aloud, that Indiana has come out in favor of
Ne5srs. Adams & Clay, as evidenced by the late e.
lections resulting in favor Of Administration mem
bers Of Congress, Governor, and members of the
Legislature I! This much ado about nothing" is
certainly intended for effect in other states fof the
contrary is too well known here, for such tale to
be listened TO But let us look al the facts as they
really are. How stands the ease' In the last Con-
gress our Repre- 'entatives were all claimed for the
administration; j. u. Ray our last Governor;
we had but IS members in the house Of represen I.
tatvesof the state, out Of about 60. We have NOW
one representative in Congress; handsome ma
jority in the II Of Represent iges, and J. d RAY,
Tor who declared in the face Of the pub
lie in the Court House, in this town, that his iud
viduai preference was for Gen. Jackson.-This al
tcrs the case! Indiana will, no doubt, give her
vote for the administrsten;-but IL will be for the
administration Of Anirew Jackson and John G.
Calhoun, by majority Of mii 500O votes.
