CONGRESSIONAL SUMMARY.
SENAI,E.

Feb. l2.-The bill granting quanti- ty of land to the Territory of Arkansas, for the erection of public building at Little Rock, the seat of government for said Territory, was read third time, and PASSED.
 HOUSE OF RESENTATIvES.
 Ie6. l6.--Mr. SEVER moved the fol- lowing resolution; which was read and laid Oh the table until tomorrow:
 Resofued, That the House will, on Fri day next, proceed to consider and dispose of such bills in the order in which they stand on the calendar, as relate, exclusive ly, to territorial matters.
 Ie6. I7.-Mr. SEWER asked the con- sent of the House to consider the reso- ution submitted by him yesterday, ap- propriating Friday next to the consider alton of bills exclusively relating to the Territories.
 Mr. Whittlesey objected. If the mo- ton were to be adopted, the measure would interfere with the progress of private business, to the disposal of which Fridays and Saturdays were devoted.
 Mir. SEWER then modified his motion so as to appropriate Tuesday to the pur- pose of the bills relating to tie TTerrito- ries; and in that shape the motion was agreed to.
 The committee took up the bill mak- ing appropriations for the military ser vice for the year 1891, when
 Mir. Dyaatoa proposed an amendment for the payment of 5000 dollars to the mounted volunteers of Arkansas against the Indians ip 1898; which amendment was agreed to.
 The bill making appropriations for certain roads, &c. was then taken up, when
 Mir. Letcher submitted an amendment granting Sl5,000 for the purposes of improvements in Arkansas Territory: which was carried by vote of II ayes, noes g.

 MIR. RANnDI

1lR. RAN DOLHII.
 We have seen letter from this gen tleman, as late as the I4th December, from London. He is disgusted, as every liberal man must have been, with the gross and malgnantcalumnies which have been set on foot against him, in the Northern newspapers. And yet he has not seen all the falsehocas which have been put in circulation. Never were more monstrcus and malicious false- hoods coined. The official correspon- dence will give the lie to some of the most mischievous. The very best feel ing and understanding subsisted between Prince Lieven and Mir. Randolph. As soon as he was established in St. Peters burg, he went round, in person, and left cards with the Representatives of every Court that had an Ambassador, Envoy, or Charge, without excepting any; Sc cretares of Legation and all.
 During the time that Mir. R. was con- fined at Mrs. Wilson's, he was not a boarder, but only lodger; and he never saw or held communication with any one of the boarders, except Capt. Fur ner, of the ship Tana, of Boston, to whom he committed the care of his servant and baggage. MT. Clay, Secretary of Legation, is of course, also excepted. The tailor of the American Consul called at MT. R.'s lodgings, and said that he had been told, MT. R. had sent for lhim. Mir. k. told him that he had been misinformed-and the man apologized, and retired. The Consul was present at the time. The man afterwards was sent for, and made some clothes for Mir. Clay. This being "scnt for" is said 10 be common trick, which puts roublc into the hands of the attending valet. From the same of Feb. ls.
 We understand that letter has been just received from London, stating that Mir. Randolph's health was improved, and that he should return to St. Peters burg in the spring. We also understand | a letter has been received from the coun- l ty of Charlotte, stating that particular friend of Mir. Randolph was at the last court of that county, and remarked to the writer, that he had received short time since letter from Mir. R. desiring him to announce him Mr. R as a can |lidate for Congress-that it would not

 Connserciai.-The prices of cotton, in this place, during the last week, seem considerable unsettled; and in .eonse- quenee of the latest intelligence from New Orleans. 10 have fallen below our previous quotations. At the time when, from the reduced stock irl New Orleans market, we had reason to expect an ad- vance in prices, this article was kept un- der by the scarcity of shipping and the consequent high price of freights.- Now that shipping is likely to be abun- dant, the article is depressed by the an- tieipation of an over stock from North Alabama and Tennessee, and by the in- testine commotiors of Europe.

either oi the States, as was pompously predicted is what we do not compre- hend.
 For, it is obvious that Georgia, before the revolution, possessed the same right of soil to the extent of its chartered inl- its, as either of the colonies.
 By adhering to the old eonfederaey. It certainly parted with none of it's terri torial rights.
 Nor by the adof ton of the Constitu- ton did either of the States surrender those rights. The most Jealous advo- cate for the supremacy of the General Government, will not maintain that po- sition.
 Is there any pretext, then. for affirm Ing the existence, ct that lime, of for elgn nation within the chartered limits of Massachusetts, New York. or Geor- gia, in all of which Indian tribes then existed?
 How has this foreign state been erect ed within the territory of Georgia?
 Was it done by the ccssion by that State of the whole territory which con- stitutes the States of Alabama and Mis- slssIppl, as compensation for which. the United States agreed to extinguish the Indian title within the present limits Of Geofgiaf
 1t is true, that during every period from the commencement of the revolu- tionary war, the murderous inroads o1 these Indians upon the white settlers were lncessant. And under the power of treat. ing with the Indian tribes, distinct iron, thot of treating 7pith foreign nations, con- ferred both by the confederacy and the Constitution, several treaties from time to time were formed with these sayapes. for the obvious purpose of expressing their bloody incursions, by keeping both whites and Indians within certain speci. fled limits of demarcation. Now, will if be seriously contended by any person en. toying his sober senses, that bythese trea. ties the United States undertook to cIothe the Indians with territorial jurisdiction which we have seen to belong exclusive. ly to the State of Georgia. excepting what she had expressly ceded to the Uni. ted States ?- Telegraph.

Deatd of Capt. Btngham.-The following are the particulars of the circumstances which led to the death of this officer, then In command of the British ship Thetis:
 It appears that the Thetis being left at the anchorage off the Island of Puma, Capt. Bingham, accompanied by his son and an other midshipman, and Mr. Henry Hall, chaplain, embarked in the boats to proceed up the river to the city, off winch they ar rived on the evening of the 10th. In en- sering tho port Capt. Bingham's boat ran across the hawse of the French brig La fayette, at anchor, it being very dark, and the tide running five or six knots an hour at the time. Being heavily laden with bal last, she stove and sunk mmediately and although the gig was in company, and other boats dashed off to assst them, only five sailors, the midshipman, and Capt. Bing- hams son were saved neither the body of Capt, B. nor Mir. Hall, had been found on the following day, when the news of the sad event left GuayaquiI.
 Capt. B. commanded the sioop Little Belt, in the rencontre with the American ffigate President, Commodore Rodgers.

be ln his power to attend the elections i'll the spring but that he would return to the United States, in time to take his place n Congress. in case of his election. There can, indeed, be no doubt of the fact, as another letter has been received Tn this city from the friend of Mir. K. who states his public annunciation, at tho last Charlotte Court, Of MT. R.'s be- ing a candidate for Congress.
 Wcshall see, in the event of his cleo tion whether Mir. 7ristran Bauges will 6eard the hoa 10 his faee. instead of at lacking him behind his back. Mir. E. has contrived to run up prctfq conssd- erable account with Mr. k. which are. guess may be paid up to him in due sea- son with pretty 'tsauioats interest.
 We cannot ascertain from the course of the debate whether the bill provides for the outfit; even fl it does, there exists much doubt about Mir. R.'s absolute ac- ceptance of it.
 Florida.-The Legislative Council of the Territory met at Tailahassa on the Sd ut. A. Bcllamy was elected Presi- dent. On the 4th Governor Duyal trans miited to the council his message, from which we have made the following ex- tracts :---
 sslt is d subject of graduation to the people of Florida that the only cloud that checqucrs our sunny prospects, is fast dispersing by the wise and humane policy of the Government, in perma- nently settling the various Indian tribes west of the Mississippi. This policy, though now denounced as cruel and wicked by those opposed to the present Administration, has been repeatedly and ardently urged on the consideration of Congress, by Presidents Monroe and Ad- ans; and many Of those who now cen sure the measure, were then among its most strenuous advocates. I rejoice that the distinguished Commissioners, appointed by the President, have suc- ceeded in forming treaties with two pow erfui tribes, the Choctaws and Chieka- saws-the remaining tribes will proha- biy follow their examples. Thus the  remnant of those numerous nations that royed free as air, over this wide contin- ent, may yet, by the humanity of the Government, be saved from total annihi- lation."
 ''f'rom the partial retnrns.of the Gen. sus of Florida, which the Executive has been enabled to obtain, -four whole fed. eral numbers be not sufficient 10 entitle Florida to admission into tie Union, our rapidly increasing population will soon guarantee to us this inesiimable privi- lege. In the mean time as the works ol Internal Improvement may he executed l by the Government of the Union, with. out violating the Constitution of the U- nited States, We should not be renjss in petitioning Congress to extend to us its kindness and munihccnce, TOT can we in thus acting be reproached with aselfsh policy; for our Territory is so fortunate ly situated. that there can be no great work of iHternalimprovemcnt among us which will not be moreproperly of a ma tionals than q local charaeter.''

 "The success of our planters will bring food of population into every section ofour Territory. Although the most sceptical in former years, ,could not deny that tie samples of sugar nanufac- tured in Florida, were equaI in color and brilliancy of granulation, to the gen. eraa crops of Louisiana, the profitable manufacture of sugar, on an extended scale, was considered problematical.-- The enterprise-of our planters has dssi- pated every doubt-Extensiye works have been erected, which for beauty and solidity of construction, equal the best establishments in the Southern country. The results of the past season have de- monstrated the equality of our lands with those of Louisiana, both in regard to the quality and quantity of the sugar manufactured. With these advantages and profitable as may be the culture of the Cane-the culture of Sea Island Cotton, and Cuba Tobacco, have been confidently maintained, by some of our most intelligent planters, to yield great CT profit. It is evident from the abun- dant crops, and the increasing length and glossiness of fibre. clearly siistii,- gushable in each succeeding year, that our climate and soil are peculiarly a. dapted to the growing of the Sea Island --as wellas every other description of cotton; but this fact will excite no sur prise when we recollect that this plant is indigenous to the Islands and shorcs of the Gulf of Mexico, and was manufac- turcd by the Aborigines into clothing and defensive armour 2
 "When the quality of our Cotton and Tobacco becomes known in the home and foreign markets, they will be prop eiiy appreciated, and not requiring q fixed capital, as in the manufactory of sugar, they will eventually yield rich return, not only to the opulcnt planter but also to the industrious yeomanry of Florida-Various ard profitable as are these sources of Independence. kind Providence with beantfful hard has pour ed out other Blessings on this favored land.
