REPoRT UPON EXECUTIVE PATRON
AGE.-Our readers will be graifed to
find general outline of Mr.. CaIhoun's
able Report upon Executive Patronage,
in our preceding columns. In refer
ence to the various public documents
which have been submitted to Congress
during the present session, the National
Intelligencer very justly remarks:
This session of Congress has, so far as tho
Senate is concerned, been distinguished by
some Of the most elaborate and able reports,
ever made in either branch of the National
Legislature. Conspicuous among them, will
stand the Report yesterday made by NJ.
Calhoun, from Select Committee appointed
upon his motion, to inquire into the extent
and operation OF the constantly increasing
patronage of the Executive of the United
States. In presenting the Report, Mr.. CAL
houn said that it had the unanimous assent Of
the committee on every point of it but one,
and on that one q single member of the con-
mittee only dissented

GENERAL PosT-oFFICE.

ii GENERAL POST OFFICE.
1 Previous to the passage ofthe bill to change
/, the organization of the General Post Office
on motion Of Mr. Grundy, two amendments
were agreed to, as follows:
! In the 18th section of the original bill
there had been left blank for the number
of Clerks hereafter to be employed in the
General Post Office; in regard to the filling
Of which the Committee had not been able
previously to agree. There was also an al
lowance in the last line of the Sd section ofa
Messenger at $500 year. 1t had been the
practice to allow the Messengers in every
other Department 500: and if this Messen-
ger was TO receive $500, it would cost the
Government good many hundred dollars
He then moved to amend the last item, by
making the salary 800 instead of $780, and
to fill the blank regarding the number Of
Clerks, with the following words {: one clerk
at $3.50 eight clerks at S14C0; eight clerks
at $1,000; nine clerks at $1,000; and two
Messengers at SEQ.
After the passage of the Navy Appropria-
ton Bill,
The Senate proceeded to the bill to regu-
late the number and compensation Of the Of
ficers of the Customs.
After considerable debating, and before
any question was taken,
The Senate adjourned.
IN SENATE,
Wednesday, Feb. 1Ith.
The principal business transacted was the
consideration of the bill for the continuation
of the C-nberand Road in the States Of
Ohio, Indiana, and Missouri, which after a
long debate, was ordered TO be engrossed for
third reading. Some time was also spent.
in executive business.
IN TIE HOUSE,
The consideration Of the bill n regulate
the public deposites Of the United States in
certain local banks, was resumed, and con-
tinued until ) o'clock, without taking the |,
main question, when the House adjourned.
IN SENATE,
THURSDAY, February 10Th.
Mr.. Benton introduced resolution reouir-
ing the President to Communicate to Con-
gress at the commencement Of their next
session, information on variety Of subjects,
which was read and ordered TO bo printed.

was ordered to n third reading.

sale. As, therefore, it is deemed impossiblo
during the existence Of the compromise act,
and without disturbing that act, to prevent
the annual receipt into the Treasury Of a sur
plus of nine millions, even after reducing tho
expenditures Of the Government within pro-
per limits, the Committee 60 into an inquiry
as 10 the most expedieDt mode OF applying
this sum. They protest against its remain
ing and accumuating in the Banks where It
is deposited; and they do not recommend its
application TO the purposes of internal I'M
provement, the difficulties in the way OF
which have been increased by the late Exec
utivc vetoes, refusing to sanction appropr'a-
tions for that object.
The Committee, therefore, come to the
conclusion that the only, and the least obJcc-
tonable mode Of disposing OF the surplus re-
venue, is to make an annual Distribution
thereof among the serrrnL lStaies and Ierrito-
ries, including the District Of Coiumbia,--
continue until the year lS42, which will ter.
inmate the existence OF the present compro-
mise act, and leave Congress at liberty to re-
duce the income to the wants Of the Govern.
ment. The Committee propose to effect
their object by an amendment of the Constl-
tuition, giving power to Congress to make
such distribution, which majority OF the
Committee deem not now within the compe-
tcncy of Congress. For that purpose they
report Joint resolution, and propose to d.
vide the annual surplus revenue into such
number Of shares as there are Senators and
Representatives, to be divided among the
States in proportion to their Representations
with two shares to each Territory and the
District of Columbia.
The Committee propose, also, the enact
ment of law, for which they report BILL To
regulate the Dcposites Of the public money
and the enactment of one of the bills report
ed by a Select Committee in 1926, to regu-
late the patronage Of the Government.

CONGRESsIONAL-Frday Feb. IS.
The .Nt,c Post Office Bill passed 10 a second
reading an the House Of Representatives..

/ The SENATE, on Friday, Feb 10, pro-
ceeded to the order of the day, which
was Mr.. Calhoun's Report upon Execu-
tive patronage. A more respectable au-
dience, (says the National lntellgencer)
never attended the Senate Chamber,
than was present on the occasion. Mr..
Calhoun addressed the Senate at largo
in support Of the principles Of his Report.
and was followed by Mr.. Benton, at con-
siderable length; to whom Mr.. Southard
and Mr.. Calhoun succeeded in reply
In the course Of Mr.. Benton's remarks,
Mr.. Poindexter called MIR. B. to order
for certain words spoken, which were
taken down in writing and handed to the
Chair. The Vice President, for reasons
which he assigned, pronounced the Sem
aor from Missouri to be in order. An
appeal was taken to the Senate from this
decision by Mr.. Webster, and the decis
ion Of the Chair, after debate, was re-
versed, by vote Of "a to 81. The Sc
nate shortly after adjourned.

could no longer be suppressed. When
my daughter gave out the cry Of muir
der, she was seized by the throat, and
shaken with monstrous violence, and
the prints Of a mans hand in purple
was strongly marked, with many 9TH
er contusions. Mrs. Goodsell exhibited
marks Of violence likewise. This Mi
chigan banditti proceeded likewise TO
the sleeping apartment of another gen.
tleman, (Mr. McKay,) burst in the
door where he was asleep, selling up.
on him in bed, and for the first salu,a.
ton, one of them attempted to gouge
out one Of his eyes with his thumb.
Those gentlemen report, that the in.
vention Of the gang was put in requisi.
ton, to put their lives in danger, and
by theit indigaities to keep their feelings
| on the rack. After two days ofcourt
mockery at Monroe, those gentlemen
were admitted to bail.
On the 10th, it was reported that an
armed force was assembling under the
command Of General Brown, to march
for Toledo, and take, as prisoners, all
| persons who had accepted office under
Ohio, (about dozen.) On the 18th,
they arrived, in force, as reported, Of
about two hundred strong, armed with
mnskets and bayonets. The officers
of Ohio, having been luled into secu-
rity by the assurances of the Commits
sioners Of the United States, (Messrs.
Rush and Howard, were not prepared
for defence, and retired, and gave them
full space for the display of their gas
conade, which was fully exhibited by
the brave General in pulling down The
flag Of Ohio, and dragging it through
the streets, at the tail Of a horse, and
other similar acts.
Thus the little Territory of the U.
States has challenged the State Of O.
hio, 10 the form of unrestrained vio-
Ience; and we cannot doubt, that the
State has virtually accepted the chal-
lenge, and we are fast advancing TO a
horrid Border Var, that we know has
frequently extended to indiscriminate
determination.
There cannot be doubt that the gen.
erous Ohioans will turn out en- masst
to protect their northern border, ano
restrain the savage barbarity of the
hordes of the north.
Your obedient servant,
| B. F. STICKNEY.
