Mr.. Clayton submitted the following reso-
luton, which by unanimous consent was con-
sidered and adopted:
Resolved, That the Committee on the Ju-
dietary he instructed to inquire into the ex-
pedlency of more clearly defining by law, the
crime Of revolt in the crews Of American
ships within the admiralty and maritime Jurls-
diction Of the United States, Of abolishing the
capital punishments now provided by the act
of the Both April, 1900 for that offence, and
of substituting milder punishment for 1t.
Mr.. Waggaman submitted the following
resolution, which lies one day on the table:
Resolved. That the Committee on Manu-
features be instructed to inquire into the ex-
pedency of further providing by law against
the evasions Of the Tariff on refined and 9TH
er sugars.
Mr.. Benton, in pursuance of notice given
asked and obtained leave, and introduced q
Joint resolution 70 repeal the Join, resolution
providing for the election of Printers to Con.

IN THE HOUSE.
The House proceeded to the consideration
Of several petitions mud memorials from sun
dry citizens Of the State of New York, Tone
of which was signed by eight hundred ladies'
praying the abolition Of slavery and the slave
trade Of the District of Columbia, presented
last Monday by Mr.. Dickson, and laid over
10 this day.
Mr.. Dickson spoke about one hour and n
half in favor of the objects of the memorial
lists, and concluded by moving the reference
of the memorials to Select Committee.
Mr.. Chinn moved to lay the whole subject
upon the table, and upon that question he de-
manded the Yeas and Nays.
The question being taken, it was decided
in the affirmative as follows-Yeas liz, nays
IL.
The House then resumed the considera-
tion Of Mr.. McCarty's resolution, calling for
information from the Executive relative TO
the transactions Of the Land Office, Indian
Agents, and Agencies.
After considerable debate, which was car
ried on in style of great personality, the re-
solution Of Mr. McCarty was adopted unanl-
mously.
We may here remark, (says the N. York
Commercial Advertiser) that it is generally
believed, that still greater corruptions exist,
if possible, in the Land Office, and Indian
Reservations, than even in the Post Office
Department. The great difficulty has been
in getting at the proof Of the facts. Even in
this debate, every expcdient was resorted to
by the Jackson men to suppress inquiry
We hope, however, that the subject will now
be thoroughly sifted, and the offenders, even
though shielded from punishment by the Ex-
ecutive, be exposed to the indignant scorn of
the country whose property they have been
permitted to plunder.l

Mr.. Poulson-IIas it occurred TO your
readers to contemplate the sublimity OF
the recent act Of the Senate of the Uni
ted States, in unanimously resolving, in
the face Of ErCcuiire recommendation,
that it is inexpedient, at this time, TO ie-
gislate on the question Of difference with
France? If it have not--let your read
ers for moment look at it. President
Jackson under the most plausible pre-
tences, and by appeals TO the chivalry Of
the country, asks Discretionary powers,
the exercise OF which must needs lead 10
tcor. He is backed, as the world knows,
by fright or wrong party" War has
its glory. Fortunes upon fortunes fol-

NEWPORT.
Thursday, Feb. IL, 1885:

MASSACHUSETTS, SENATOR. Le-
gislature Of Massachusetts, from present
appearances, is not likely soon to sue
ceed in choosing Senator to Congress.
Each branch Of the Legislature Of that
State, it will be recollected, acts inde-
penden.ly of the other in the choice of
Senators-the two Houses not joining
in Grand Committee, as is the mode in
the Legislatures Of many other States,
for that especial purpose. The first tri-
al on the part Of the House, which took
place on the 28th ultimo, resulted in the
choice Of the Hon. John Davis, the pres
ent Governor of that State. The Sen
ate on Wednesday, the 4th inst took up
the business and non n-concurred with the
House by electng the Hon. John Quin-
cy Adams. The choice Of Mr.. Adams
by the Senate having been communica-
ted to the House, that body on Friday
last proceeded again to try the question,
which resulted as before in the election
of Mr.. Davis. Tuesday last was as
signed as the day for proceeding the
second time to an election on the part Of
the Senate.
The Boston Patriot Of yesterday con-
tains the result Of the trial in the Senate
on Tuesday. That body again nom
concurred with the House, and persist
ed in the election of Mr.. Adams. The
whole number of votes were 39-of
which John Quincy Adams received 25,
John Davis II, and VIM. Baylies 3.

Soon shall break the future surge
O'er our long-fcrgotten graves:

Ion fair city rise as fair,
Ion rich mcads as richly TEEN -
Other eyes shall see them there.
Yet shall Learning's hoary halls
Win the voi'rv step of youth
Yet shall speak these echong walls,

And must ours be voiceless sleep,
Ours an image left on nought
Lost beneath the whclming deep

Each and all unchanged may live:
No: to form the futures page

Patient tolls and worthy aims,
Guarded trusts and cherisll'd pow'rs,
Bameless lives and stainless names,
These we give, if these be ours.
Clasp we then the brother hand,
Seal the compact, fair and fast;

DEDICATION OF MANNING HALL.

DEDICATION OF MANNING HALL.
The Providence Journal of Monday last
contains an account of the services at the
Dedication of Manning IIall-a new College
Edifce-recently erected in that city. The
Journal says:-
Z Wednesday was an auspcions day for
our venerable University. The new
College edifce, cont aiming a Chapel and
Library, was dedicated TO the service OF
Almighty God, with appropriate solem-
mites and with imposing effect.
AT the hour appointed, a procession,
consisting principally ofthe Undergrad
yates, Graduates, Faculty and Corpora
ton of the University, proceeded, in
form, from the old to the new Chapel
The services of the day were introduced
by the singing of a spirited Ode, com
posed for the occasion, by our towns
man, Albert G. Greene, Esq.

himself fully equal. Without ever sink

poetic; now diving into the depths otab-

regions Of Eloquence-now welding,
with practised skill, the weapons of Sc

field of expansive generalization. The
discourse, when published, will form IL
valuable addition to the number Of those
works, which evince how deeply indebt-
ed to revealed Religion is the human
race, not only for the means of saliva.
tion-but for the best blessings Of civili-
zation-for well-reguated frcedom--for
advancement in Art, in Science and in
Letters--in short, for the mclioration Of
the condition Of individual and social
man.
The discourse was succeeded by the
Prayer Of Dedication. In such cases it
is almost part of our Religion to be
chary Of hacknied commendaiion /; but
we must be excused for saying, that this
dedicatory address to the Almighty Be
ing, whose temple is the Universe, but
who condesccnds to dwell in temples
made with hands--was distinguished for
Iervor, and so!emni,y, and pathos. I.

Ode, composed for the occasion by an
AIumnus of the College, and n native OF
Providence, was then sung by the choir:

spoke in the Creek language, which was inter-
