the Executive, & particularly condemn
ing the late Protest Of the President a.
gainst the resolutions ofthe Senate. A
debate ensued, which lasted until the
Senate went into Executive business.
Tn the HOUSE.-The business Of
the House consisted mostly Of farther
discussion of the resolutions, &c. propos-
ed on previous days.
Mr.. Lincoln's motion to suspend the
rules for the reception Of his resolution
relative to the Post Office Department,
was rejected. The House then resolv-
ed itself into Committee of the Whole
Mr.. Hubbard in the Chair, on the Ap-
preparation Bill.
And the subject still being on the al
lowan to foreign Ministers, tho de-
bate of yesterday was renewed with ad
ditional spirit and interest, and continued
to 6 o'clock. The motion to strike ou
the salaries Of the Ministers to Eug lant
and Russia, was negatived by vote o
IOI to 60. When the Committee rose
the subject Of the South American Mis-
sions had just been entered upon.
After which, the House adjourned.

A valuable work is in the course Of
publication, at the present time in Eng
land, consisting Of the " Statutes Of the
Realm" "DOoms-day Book" cry
mer's Collection" and other rare docu-
ments. Copies Of it have been ordered,
by the Commissioners appointed to su-
perintend their publication, to be sent to
twenty public Libraries in this country
among which are those of Harvard and
Brown Universities, Dartmouth and
Bowdoin Colleges, and the Boston Athe-
neum. The cost Of each copy is two
hundred pounds sterling. The enlarged
and liberal feeling that dictates this mu-
nifcent generosity, is worthy Of the
highest praise. Such an act as this,
ought to serve as an antidote to the feel
ings Of irritation, which have been a.
reused in some minds, against England,
by the abusive statements Of her travel
ling scribblers. There is no doubt, that
the sentiments of the English people to-
wards our own, are those of respect and
goodwill, such as ought to be felt by
one great nation towards another.

The Report Of Mr.. Poindexter, COM
menced last week, is concluded in this
number. We earnestly request our rea-
ders to give this Report careful and
dispassionate reading. The able and
distinguished chairman ofthe Committee c
who drew up this Report, hasshown him
self to be perfect master ofthe subject.
One would suppose him to have been
born in Rhode-Island, and that he had
given his whole life to the study Of the
rights and duties Of Rhode.lsland, and
the history Of her peculiar institutions.
and the mode in which her Legislative
Judicial and Domestic concerns have
been managed, even from she days o.

cry form, and by every department ol
the Government, been declared valid, 1t \
would seem to be palpable invasion ~
the sovereignty Of the State to abrogate
its laws, and overthrow its government,
by denying that a body capable Of exer-
cising the powers Of Legislation existed
in the State after the term for which a
governor, lieutenant governor, and sem
ators, chosen at the annual election in
April, 1881, had expired. To annul the
election Of Mr.. Robbins would involve
all these absurdities, and must be pro-
ductive Of confusion and anarchy in the
State Of which he has been chosen Sc,
nator in Congress. /
The time at which the election took
place, and The manner in which it was
conducted, were in strict conformity to
the laws of Rhode. Island. The two
Houses met in Grand Committee accord
ing to law, at the session of the General
Assembly next preceding the expiration
of the term Of service of Asher Robbins,
then Senator in Congress, and elected
him for another term Of six years, to
commence on the third day Of March,
/ 1893, and then the Grand Committee
assembled for this purpose was dissolv-
ed. The choice was made by the Leg
islaiure Of the State, whose laws are held
to be valid and binding throughout the
State; they command and receive obe-
dience from the people. No objection is
made, or can be made, either to the time
or manner OF the election. The Senator
elected has all the requisite quail ifcaiions
demanded by the constitution, and his
commission or credentials were in due
form, delivered to him, and presented to
| the Senate. Your committee hold this
to be vested right, the obligation and
effect Of which no subsequent Legisla-
ture Of that State could impair; still less
had they authority to proceed to the c.
lection Of another Senator until the sea-
Of the Senator elect had been vacated
by a solemn decision Of the Senate o
the United States. With these views o
the subject referred to them, your com
mittee recommend the adoption Of tho
following resolution:
Resolued, That Asher Robbins, being
duly and constitutionally chosen Sen
ator in Congress from tho State of II
Island, is entitled to his seat in the Sen
ate.

Tribute to Yankee Enterpriss.-The
Governor General and Commando der-in-
Chief, of India, Lord William Bentinck
has presented Mr.. Rogers, supercargoI
Of the ship Tuscany, with a handsome
Silver Vase, bearing the following in
scrption:-
presented by Lord William Bentinck,
Governor General and Commander-in-
Chief, Of India, to Mr.. Rogers, of Bos-
ton, (Mass.) in nowledgment Of the
spirit and enterprise, which projected
and successfully executed the first at
tempt to import cargo Of American lee
into Calcutta"
The Vase is Of chaste and classic
form, ornamented with flowers and fruit, -,
intersected with foliage, and richly en-
bossed.
In relation to this present, a Calcutta
paper remarks:-"We have said a good
deal on the kind disposition of "Brother
Jonathan, in administering to the good
people Of Calcutta, the ingredient for
cooling themselves without the aid of
"villanous saltpetre," and we are still
more happy in being able to record the
fact, that his good intentions are appre-
ciated as they ought to be. The enter
prise was as surely deserving encourage
ment, as it was singular in the annals of
Calcutta trade. 1t has introduced the
means of.enjoying a luxury and comfort,
the taste Of which, we trust, will not be
forgotten during the interim which mus,
necessarily elapse, before another attempt
of similar nature shall be made; and
we hope that MIR. Tudor, the American
gentleman in Boston, who we have un-
derstood is the principal adventurer in
this speculation, will ever find substan-
tal acknowledgment on the part Of the
Calcutta public, for every similar proof
which he may afford them Of his enter
prise"

AWFUL EARTHQUAKE IN South AMER
IcA.-Ths City Of Paste Destroyed. One
Of those fearful convulsions Of Nature,
which sometimes occur to make man feel
his impotence, as compared with the ON
nipotent power of his Creator, occurred
in the mountainous districts Of New Gre
NADIA, near tho western frontier, and also
near the Equator, on the Goth and 22d Of
January, which has been attended with
results Of the most terrible fatality. The
city Of Paste, with population of from
IL 900 to $4,000 inhabitants, has been
almost completely destroyed, and up
wards of fifty lives lost. The city of
Popaya an, containing near 10000 inhab-
itants, has also been destroyed. The
entire country, for leagues around Paste,
has been converted into scene Of com
plcte desolation and mourning. A vol
canic mountain oyerhangs the city Of
Paste, which is situated in latitude I !,
10, NJ, longitude ~, land as the
ridgo OF the Andes, which stretches lit
tie to the westward, was severely affect
ed, there is every reason to apprehend
that the city Of Quito and the republic of
Ecuador, have experienced the effects
ofihe same calamity. Two letters, ad-
dressed to the Secretary of State, give
full and melancholy details of this appal-
ling visitation. From them il appears
that the shock was experienced at seven

The Philadelphia Commercial Herald Of We'd.
nesday, soth, says
1t is rumored that tho Bank Commit
tee left Philadelphia, this morning, for
Washington. The cause Of this sudden
departure is said to be difficulty with
the bank in relation to the investigation
The Committee insisted upon prosec GU.
ting the examination in secresy, and
without allowing committee Of the
Bank to be present. This claim appe ars
to US to be unreasonable. 1t would be
most unjust to withhold from the institu-
tion the right Of being present at its own
trial and explaining or vindicating the
transactions on which it is impeached.-
1t is said that the Bank refused to give
up the books for private investigation,
but offered the committee every facility
for full examination, conducted openly,
and in the manner Of the last committee. q .
The N. York Journal Of Commerce of Thurs
day evening, adds the following
A letter from Philadelphia states that
the Bank Investigation Committee have
returned to Washington. They claimed
the privilege OF taking the books of the
Bank to their lodgings for examination,
which the Directors declined, but offer
ed to furnish accommodations for the
purpose at the Bank. The two parties
being thus at issue, and neither being
disposed to recedc, the Committee re-
turned to Washington, to report progress.
