speaking OF the Government Of the United
States, said "It was weak, inconsistent and
bad, and could not exist. 1t will be destroy

government. the curse Of the French Revolu-

Europe, are to be attributed to its example,
and so long as it exists, no prince will be safe
upon his throne; and the sovreigns Of Europe

Our SOUTHERN BoUNDARY.-The Governor
OF Missouri in his annual message, makes the
following observations in relation 10 the adj
justment Of our boundary IL Dav, Gaz.
"At the last session of Congress an act
was passed by that body, having for its Oh.
ject the final settlement Of the northern boun-
Diary Of this State, certified copy of which
will be found among the documents accompa-
nying this communication. BY provision
Of that act, 1t becomes necessary for this State
TO give its ascent TO the settlement Of the line
in dispute in the manner therein proposed.
The act contenplates that one commits
sioner be appointed on the par. of this State,
and one commissioner on the part of the Uni
ted States; that these commissioners shall ap-
pon. third; that they shall appoint suita-
Bile surveyor; make survey Of the disputed
line, and make report to the Secretary Of the
United States, of the State of Missouri, and
of the Territory of Iowa; and the line so as
cerained, surveyed, marked out and returned
as aforesaid by any two of said commission
ers, shall be the northern boundary lue CT the
State of Missouri.
"As it is highly important that this ques-
ton should be speedily and amicably settled
Il recommend that the Legislature pass an
&C, agreeing to the establishment of the line
in the manner indicated by the &C. of Con-
gress.
s. By this means there will be removed a
difficulty which, at one time, occasioned Sc
rious collision between the people Of this State
and the Territory of Iowa, and the adjustment
Of which, it is hoped, will tend to produce
perpetual harmony and friendship between the
two governments, residing in the neighbor.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13, 1874.
GENERAL JACKSON'S FINE.
Mr.. ALLEN called up this Bill from the House.
Some remarks arose upon the amendment pro-
posed in the Senate that this retundng shall not be
construed as censure upon Judge Hall.
Mr.. ALLEN said this was very improper amend
ment, as the Bill made no auslon whatever either
to Judge Hall, or even to the Court over which he
presided, or to any other Court.
Mr.. WALKER also opposed the amendment.
Mr.. BERRIEN advocated It,
MIR. FOSTER advocated IT,
The ayes and nays were called upon the amend.
ment, which was lost, by vote OF 26 to lS-all
the democrats and some OF the wings voting in the
negative.
Mr.. MILLER then went into an argument upon
State Legislative instruction. lie denied the doc
rine of instruction He took this occasion to dis
cuss this subject Tin speech for home consump-
tion) because his Legislature had instructed HIM
to vote in favor Of refunding General Jackson's
fine. He said he should disobey their instruc.
tons.
Mr. WOODBRIDGE had also three times received
Instructions upon this subject, but he would take
another day TO give his views.
The subject was then postponed.
This subject was then taken up, and
Mr. HUNTINGTON resumed his speech He took
up MIR. Woodbury's statistics seriatin, upon IRON,
sugar, SALT NC, and examined them u! length, re-
uing and sustaining precisely those positions taken
by the Senators on bon sides, who have already
spoken.
In the House, the day was occupied IN the discus
ton on the report of the Committee OF Elections.

In the Senate, Mr.. Huntington continued and

say there was thinner attendance, both IN the
Senate, and the gallery than could have been de-

pie would not listen to him, it was not his fault
For the hrst time this sesson-so far as have
seen-Ex-PresidentA Adams, instead of being found
Senate, where he staid awhile-Mr Huntington
speaking. The " Election" discussion, which is
going in the House, probably proved too exciting
10 the Hon. Ex-President's nerves.
Mr.. Webster finished his argument to-day before
the Supreme Court in the Girard case. Some evil
minded persons, as | have no doubt they might be
proved to be, have delicately insinuated that Mr..
Webster made rather failure. If itwere failure,
they saw it must have been either because he was
on the wrong side of the case, or else because he
had not allowed himself sufficient time to prepare
his brief Others think that Mr.. Bnney's argu-
ments were so double-and-twisted, and tied up
together, that Mr., Webster was somewhat bothered
to disentangle and tear them to pieces.
AS faithful reporter of facts, it is my duty to say
that there was very little-l may say no interest,
felt to-day in the discussion of the Tariff by Mr..
Huntington. His own party would not stay to list

pretty well harvested by Messrs. McDuffie, Evans,
and Woodbury. and pity, the cleaners, who go a

reply to Mr.. Huntington. The subject was laid up
on the table. The Lunatic Asylum Bill passed to

TO which the attempted resuscitation of rotten, dis
reputable, demoralizng institutions, can be SO well
compared, as the picture of old Goblet digging up
