THE BANKRUPT BILL.

In the Senate this bill still drags its slow
length along. The reader will find sketch Of
an interesting conversation on the subject under
the congressional head. On dit, there will be
some strange party evolutions before the final
decision. The administration party determined
TO include banking corporations; and so Mr..
Benton announced in the vehement and over
bearing tone he is so fond Of assuming. He said
that on the question Of including the banks, par
ties naturally dvded-that it was f,s7adamen-
tai question. Some Of the Southern Senators,
however, took up the idea that the opposition
Senators were beginning TO reflect whether 1t
would not be well to let "the party" have its
way in this particular, not with opposition sup
port to be sure, Blu, by permission, inasmuch as
the provisions of the bill would probably reach
few banks not in the interest, and under the
management Of Federal Loco-focos. This no
ton made these Federal Loco-focos pause in
their course Mr.. Benton applied the screws of
party. They would fain yield. But then their
local interests There is the rub. What is to
be done 2 This irresponsible faction Of Federal
Loco-focos fear the Opposition will not help
them to defeat this part Of the bill, and they
would rather put their hands in the fire than pass
il! What is to be done7 "The partyn repre-
scnted by Mr.. Benton and his men will not give
way. The Southern Federal Loco-focos must,
therefore, take the responsibility Of split Mr..
Calhoun will, Of course, be selected for the
pirouette which il is necessary TO make in
favor Of the banks.
He has an abstraction always ready for any
emergency and his neighbor, Mr.. LUMPKIN, Of
Georgia, is equally ready to vouch for it. lie
will rise and make talk, as usual, about the
Tariff, Surplus Revenue, and Abolition and
thence infer that the banks ought not to be in
Guided in bankrupt law, and conclude with
saying, ''since ! am up, Mr., President, must
declare think the administration is quite eco
nomical." Mr. LuMrKN will nod assent Two
or three others having been duly indoctrinated
by MIR. CALHOUN, will follow. One or two may
be out Of the way land so the banks 1oiA be
excluded from the operation ofthe bill after
ALL The Globe will then say, "sce what the
Wings have done w while the Charleston Mer-
curry will exclaim, "see how State, Rights, Mr..
Calhoun, and the administration have defeated
this measure! !"
Since the above was written, the party evo-
lutons predicted have begun. Yesterday, after
the bank-including bill Of " the party" had been
amended in several particulars, and after an
ominous pause in the proceedings, Mr.. Clay, Of

FAN BUREN, APPOINTMENTS.

If the Senate woull call for the facts in the
case OF the removal Of Doctor Jonss, a. Pc T.
master OF Washington, the following facts would
appear. We challenge the President or any Of
his slavish vassals to deny il:
!. That no complaint was or could be made
against the Incumbent. He was exact in his
accounts punctual, TO minute, in all hi, pay
ments. personally attentive to the otfic,, AMI
obliging, and ofic ally impartial 10 all with whom
ne had official intercour. e. He, Van Buren,,
admitted there wa no complaint--no fault found
against him.
2. 1t would be proved by the statem-nt Of
Doctor Gunnell him 'elf that he very frankly and
honorably tod Van Buren, that he could not give
up or neglect his profe sion by personal alter
ton 10 the duties Of the oftice-and that Van
Baren told him il would not be expected.
g. Ii Is notorious that the present incumbent
does not attend personally to the duties of the
office-that to him it il sinecure; his broth .r-
in-law and chief clerk, busy and active parti-
zan, for whose bpnefit chiefly the change was
made, being the acting Postma.t er, Doctor C.
rarely being seen in the Office except for short
time at night. These are facts which are noto-
rous and susceptible Of proof The reason Of
Doctor Jones being turned out was, that he
would not play the dirty part Of spy or snug
gler, and moreover was more than suspected Of
friendship for and admiration Of Ripes!

PENNSYLVANIA CONTESTED ELECTION

l.
The proceedings Of the Committee of the
House in the case of Messrs. NAYLoR and In
cERsoLL being public, and many spectators at
tending, we deem ourselves justified in so far
gratifying curiosity as to state that the testimony
taken is very voluminous--the dispositions alone
covering nearly 1900 pages Of foolscap, and the
exhibits and election papers being about twice
as much more rand much Of it mere idle rumor
and newspaper gossip, wholly useless in the de-
cision Of any judicial question
thankless labor upon the committee, and the
printing viii involve the country in most use
less and unjustifable expense. The committee
hasbeen engaged,we understand, upwards Of two
weeks, for seven or eight hours in each day, in
hearing the testimony read, and in listening TO
the elaborate arguments on each side Mr. NAY
LoR being sick and confined TO his room, was
ably represented by his Counsel, Messrs. REED
and GARRISON, Of Philadelphia Mr.. Ingersoll
conducted his case in person. The arguments
closed on Friday, and on Saturday the opposi-
ton members Of the committee, proposed to
proceed at once to the consideration and deci-
sion Of the case, that it might be brought before
the House in time to receive its action during the
present session but the Administration mem
bers, with full knowledge that the printing
could not be completed short of THREE WEEKS,
insisted on having the whole mass Of deposit
tons printed before they would agree 10 take up
the case for decision. They even refused to
look into the evidence so far as to winnow the
chat from the wheat, by striking out such parts
as were wholly inimaterial and irrelevant, blu,
with reckless disregard Of economy, insisted
on printing the whole, regardless Of the expense
and being decided majority, it was ordered &C
cordingly.
Whether this strange movement was made be
cause the Administration members were so CON
scious Of the weakness Of Mr.. Ingersoll's case
that they preferred to evade, rather than TO de-
eide IL; or, whether the object was to give .
good fat job Of printing to the editors Of III,
GLOBE, who are already gorged with the spoil
from plundered community, we do not pretens
to say; but the effect will doubtless be 10 pre
vent any decision Of the case during the presen
session, or TO throw the case before the House
in the press of business, just at the close, in .
manner that shall wholly prevent any investiga
ton by the members, in order to justify some
tender consciences in giving a party vote 70,
Nr. IngersoH, which they could not justify il
they had time for examination.

The case Of Lieutenant L. r Whitney, which 10
PFesented in strong point Of view by the article
on the first page COPIED from the National Ga
zee, contrasts very sngularly with that Of Lieut.
Deas. The latter was charged with drunkenness and
unolieer-likc conduct found guilty Of both and sem
teneed 10 he reprimandsi! while the former was
charged with fraud and only found guilty ofthe cdns
Of not meet ng punc;ualy his debts and for thar was
peenPoEily dismissed the service Upon similar prn-
cpes Of action thirds ofhe off ofthe army and
navy too and large portion Of the federal Office holders
would also be dismissed But the conduct ofths Adj
mnstraton i regulated by no uniform prin:iplethc
idea Of equal and exact justice to all men," one Of
the cardinal principles Of Jelersonlan democracy, Is
trampled In the dust by Mr.. Van Buren,, and every
thing is ccniormed to the caprice of parlizan Execu
tiyc who exeTts his brief authority to punish his enc
mics and reward his friends. Young Whitney was
made victim |, is thought the resentment Of Mr.
Van Buren, against r, NJ. Whitney. Whoever before
heard IN this country of judges being wtrcss's and
witnesses being judges in case like this1 There
seems TO be ample for the inst tuition Of suits
against the members OF the court martial which, we
understand, Mr. w. has commenced.
