defeat the reelection of that gentleman not
outstanding he was in possession Of all those
overs which the gentleman deems so potent,
hat to oppose them is destructive.
lie read 4 portion of a speech made in the
Massachusetts Legislature in 1891 by Mr.. Cush-
ing, in which the exercise of the veto power by
Gen. jackson was strongly condemned, and the
influence of the Government pronounced dam
gorous to the liberties of the people.
In illustration # the very great potency, in the
the mind Of Mr.. Gushing, of the President and
his friends, he related an anecdote Of a consta-
bic in Massachusetts, who, when about to serve
legal process upon some delinquent, was seiz-
ed by him and severely shaken. As soon as the
officer Of the law had freed himself from the
rude grasp of the prisoner, he drew himself up
with official Importance and demanded "how he
dared to shake the Commonwealth !" There
was sufficient identity in the present position Of
Mr.. Gushing and that of the constable TO justify
the inference that he is the same man. He con-
tinued his remarks, till the expiration Of the
hour, in a tone of just Indignation and severe re-
buke upon the monstrous avowals OF the gentle
man of Massachusetts.
Mr. Everett rose TO move the previous ques-
ton, he was unwilling that this measure should
be made to bear all the political speeches, which
gentlemen might see fit to indulge in to the de-
triment Of the business of the country.
Mr. Gushing dsclaimed having originated
that discussion, and charged it upon MIR. Arnold
of Tennessee.
Mr.. Everett replied that Mr.. Cushing's re-
marks were no reply to Mr.. Arnold, none what
soever, that his remarks were not incidental,
that he had prepared himself and made set
political speech.
The previous question was not seconded.
Mr.. Kennedy, from Indiana next addressed
the House. Mr.. Kennedy belongs to the Dem
ocratic party, and his principal object was to sat-
isfy the :" cab" as he called the administration
party, that there was no probability Of there
being any bids made for the Government, which
the gentleman from Massachusetts had, by au-
thorty, put up at auction. The Democratic
party would approve Of the acts of the admins
tration when they conceded with its principles,
but it could not take John Tyler SO long as he
was associated with Daniel Webster and John
C. Spencer. He would 20 for the nominee OF
the Convention, whonsoever he might be, and
if John Tyler can answer a.! the questions OF
the democratic catechism correctly, and II he
can get the nomination Of the convention he
and his democratic friends will support him, but
not without. lie considered the veto power as
the palladium of our liberties, and he believed
its exercise was popular with the people. They
like man who Will stake the responsi bilty"
and he would advise the majority in the next
Congress not to butt their heads against a
veto!
On motion OF Mr.. Wise, the House adjourned
without taking any question on the bill.

SuB-MARINE TELEsCoPE.-Thi is con-
trivance for lighting up the dominions of the
deep, invented by a lady-Mrs Mather, Of
Brooklyn, obtained patent for her inven-
ton last PLY. 1t consists SIMPLY of a 3I99,
common lamp, enclosed IN it yiuss globe
about eighteen inches in diameter. The
lamp thus protected from the waite, ,i,, when
submerged, supplied with air by means of
tubes which rise above the top of the water.
There is also a large tube between these two,
for the escape Of the smoke and gas from the
lamp to the surface.
This instrument we saw in operation last
evening, at the American Museum, in ves-
sci of water about four and a half feet deep.
! 4 pin at the bottom could be as distinctly
seen as though there had been no water in
the vessel. The inventor says that oh jects
have been as distinctly seen by means OF the
lamp alone, in our harbor, twenty-five feet
below the surface, at IA distance of from ft-
teen to twenty feet from the light. When
the lamb is sunk lower than this IA telescope
is needed. Objects may thus be discovered
at almost any depth.
This apparatus i! is thought will be very
useful IN the discovery OF sunken wrecks, in
the construction of Notifications, and all
works extending to the water. No vessel, il
IS predicted, will, ere long, 60 to sea without
it, as, by attaching mirror to the telescope
the bottom and keel of ship may be exam
ined when under fall sail. This instrumen,
has been seen and approved by several en-.
gineers and naval gentlemen. tits cxhibi,e,

FROM WASHINGTON

Dec. 27.-The question before'le House
was the motion Of Mr.. Cave Jof'soh 10 COM
NIT the bill to the Commute on Inc Jud'ci-
ary, with instructions to strike Out all alter
the enacting clause and rport "A bill to-mor-
row repeating the Bankrupt Law.
"Mr. Saltonstall occupied the hour in
nr.sent;ng his views to the House. He was
and alway. had been in favor of bankrupt
lax. and he tho ,ht it the duty of Congress
10 mass such Ia Gas should establish uni
form system Of bankruptcy. This was de-
manded for the security of the creditor class
as well as for the relief of the unfortunate
debtor. The evils of the diversity of legis-
laton of the different States upon the rights
nof creditors, and the means Of enforcing their
semapds. were felt by the whole community
and with particular force by the commercial
\ interests" In States where The law of as
\ sipnmont existed, it gave rise to fraudulent
preferences to the injury of the foreign cred
,,or. and where the law of attachment was
n force, the sharp sighted creditor at home
would always be able to secure his demand,
while the foreign creditor would receive moth
no. from the debtors assets The country
nted bankrupt law that would enable
creditor to protect himself agans, the
uds of debtors and injustice ofocal legis-
i, ion and which would compel an equal
Il, ,tributon of the assets of the debtor among
M his creditors. The reasons that induced
The Convention to give to Congress the pow
er to regulate commerce were equally appli-
cable 10 this grant Of power, and the same
necessity for both existed. lie viewed this
, rs one of the most important and beneGcent
laws that Congress had ever passed if it
was defective let its defects be remedied, but

CRYING wants of the nation has been uniform

HCilrii GOING.

I would respectfully call the a;icn. .
men, having seighs, to the propricty Of
n, waiting, on the SABBATH, tni, INC ser
sTy ended The service in all the Chuf-
,abou, twelve O'Clock in the m 'rnInG' and

Five minutes viii bring ne fhr'h1re;t OF
any Of the Churches, ana would b3
eef TO Pastor and People, not to hear In,
n ng Of bells from the time the service begins tl
,ndsd. have no doubt every one will see the
erty Of it, when once brougnI NJ, before d mem
January lst is43.
We fully concur in the propricty of the
above suggestions; and we cannot doubt
that the owners ofteams will pay the requs-
ite attention TO the subject.
There is another abuse, however, which
calls still more loudly for correction. We
aludo to furious driving, and the practice of
compelling every one 10 leave the trodden
path for teams to pass. There is no time
in this village but what team can safely,
and without difficulty, turn out; and we hold
il to be the established law of the road, on
she Sabbath at least, that pedestrians are
entitled TO undisputed possession Of the beat
en- trick. And yet, not Sunday passes,
butscores people-old and young, women
and children-are compelled to fee the
road 10 escape the flying chariot of some
thoughtless Jehu, intent only upon display
ing the superior mettle Of his masters team.
This should not be so. Ii is inconvenient to
to be poor-to dispense with the luxury of a
good team in winter; but ii is at war with
oil propriety that decrepitude and hum
bio life should be compelled to forcgo
tho services Of the sanctuary, to escape their
ssisAbor's blessings To say nothing of
What ordinary c,vility would dictate, or what
10 due 10 the occasion, common justice re-
quires radical reform in this respect; and
vs make an earnest appeal to the owner of
every church-goin team, to make il mat
tor Of special and imperative instruction to
drivers, Invariably to turn out for persons on
foot, and nerer to drice faster than slo,o
trot, in the village. But there is an ever
lasting fitness in things, which can not be
disregarded. To see man hurrying to
church at full gallop, under whip and spur,
looks very much as though he thought more
Of his punctuality in getting there, than of
the solemnitics of the occasion; while his RI
ding over half the congregation in his haste
to get home, is quite as conclusive that he
thinks less of the sermon than his pudding.
So, view it in whatever light you will, tho
common decencies of life should be observ-
ed on the Sabbath.
