ALABAMA.-The Legislature of this State has
passed the bill fora general Ticket system in the
election of members of Congress. This is a
miserable party move-designed to give the O.
lection of all the members to a few populous
counties in North Alabama.
We are surprised TO find the above in the
Alexandra Gazette. 1t was no doubt party
move, but like other party moves in other States
of which the people of the States respectively
are the proper judges, and which they have the
right to control. Why does not the Gazette de-
nounce the same thing in New Jersey 1t is a
matter which belongs to the State.

DR.. JULIUS, of Hamburg, in his work or
"The Moral Condition of the United States"
saws, that, in New York, there are regular
pardon brokers, who make it business to pro-
cure signatures from weak but good-natured
people, asking for the release of some criminal
confined in the State Prison; from whom, after
his liberation one of these brokers will receive a
fee according to the ability of the convict
his friends to pay. We should think that the
Doctor allowed his credulity to be taxed to
some extent when he credited this statement.

The SENECA TREATY.-The Boston cores
pondent of the New York Observer details at
some length the Illegal and unconstitutional
proceedings by which the Seneca Indians have
been robbed of their property. 1t is to be hoped
that the question will be brought before the
Supreme Court and that that tribunal will ar
rest this fraud SO disgraceful to our country.

CASE OF McLEoD.-The examination of

remanding him TO Jail until he enters into re-
cognizance of $4,000 for himself, with two
sureties of $4,000 each, for his appearance at
court, to answer the charge Of being one of the
gang concerned in the murder committed at
the time the steamboat Caroline was burned.
The testimony given in is very contradictory

soner, while others swore positively to his

land were seen in the eastward and west
ward, but all points except the one we en-:
tered presented an impenetrable barrier.
We here filled our water tanks with ice
water taken from an iceberg alongside the
ship.
We made our magnetic observations
on the ice. The dipping needles gave
81 deg. 30 min. for the dip, and our All
muth compass was so sluggish on the ice
that on being agitated and bearings taken
again, it gave nearly three points differ
ence, the variations being II deg. As min
E. A few days afterwards, about 100
miles further to the west, we had no vari-
alton, and thence it rapidly increased in
westerly variation, from which | am of
opinion, that when in the ice bay we could
not have been very far from the south
magnetic pole. This bay l named Dis
appointment Bay, as it seemed to put an
end to all our hopes of further progress
south.
On the 9th we fell in with the Por-
poisc, in long. l42 20 E. and lat. Is 81

On the 2Sth, at noon, after ID repulscs,
we reached long. 40 30 f. and lat. &C
33 S. where we again discovered land
bearing south, having run over 40 miles
thicllly studded with icebergs.
The same evening we had a heavy
gale from the southeast, with snow, hail,
and thick weather, which rendered our
situation very dangerous, and compelled
us to retrace our steps by the route which
we had entered. During this gale we
were unable to see the distance of a fourth
of a mile, and the constantly passing ice
bergs that surrounded US, rendering it ne
cessary to keep all hands on deck. On
the morning of the 30th the gale abatcd
and we returned by the same route to
reach the land, when the dangers we en-
countercd among the ice the preceding
night, and our providenliaI escape, were
evident to ALL
We ran towards the land about fifty
miles, when we reached a small bay,
pointed by high ice cliffs, and black VOL
canic rocks, with about 90 miles of coast
in sight, extending to great distance to-
wards the southwark, in high mountain
Gus land.

ctions to proceed south as far as prac-

ban. Copies of the instructions were

NYe continued in company until the lst
January, when we parted company
nh the Flying Fish and with the Pea
S3k, in a fog on the Bird.
| then steercd with the Porpose in
tMpany for our first rendezvous, Mac
his Island, and thence to Emerald Is
Id, our second rendezvous, having pass
over the supposed locality of the lat
in longitude 1872 80 E. latitude 81 Is
without seeing land or meeting with
Peacock or Flying Fish.
sOn the 10th of January, being in lati-
|mpe 81 S. we fell in with the first ice
Ids, and continued steering to the south
rd among the icebcrgs, which compell-
us to change our course frequently in
Spiding them.
| On the 18th, we ran into a bay of field

BRss further south, heavy fog ensuing,

Die Porpoise. her commander having di-
tWtion to follow my written Instructions
~ that event.
II had determined to leave each vessel
toacr independently, believing it would
md to give a greater degree of cmula-
Nm to us all; and being well satisfied
ht owing to the ice and thick weather,
twould be impossible to continue long
y company, | deemed it preferable to

II therefore submit the details of the
Proceedings of this ship, as they will,
Without doubt, nearly coincide with the
|upyements of the other vessels of the

After an unsuccessful attempt to pcnc-

lay, we proceeded to the westward, work

|N the 10Th we fell in with the Peacock,

On the morning of the 10Th of Janua-

'lerent points in hopes of efiectMg an
