has the following extraordinary revelations:

county and election precinct in the United
States. Its object is to dictate to the people
who shall be Representatives and Senators
in Congress, and who shall be appointed to
office-and hence they take SPECIAL charge
of the election of Senators.
At the head of this central junto stand
Messrs. Blair s. Rives. They have consli-
tuted themselves the High Priests of this
new order. In dedicaiing the large Temple
built by them on the Pennsylvania Avenue,
to worship their idol, they made it an express
condition that the use of that temple was to

which was suppressed. 1t is now understood
that after sundry pilgrimages to Knderhook
and to Albany, the family breach has been
healed-Mr. Benton and the President have
kissed and made friends, and henceforth Mr..
Benton is to be the special Executive organ
in the Senate, -Messrs. Richie and Rives

the baloting is continued until such time as
some one of the individuals balloued for by
each branch has been elected three times,
when the two Houses come together and pro-
coed to elect on joint ballot. In the present
instance the Hon. VIM. Daily having receiv-
ed majority on the ninth ballot in the House,
and on the 4th ballot in the Senate was de-
clared elected. Mr.. Daily held the Office
prevously-his time having expired is
Democrat and is known here by the very inn
posing little ofthe "deep read (red) Lawyer
from the crimson complexion of his cheeks
and the fiery redness of his hair.
In accordance with the petition of sundry
citizens of Vanderburgh county, introduced
bill into the Senate TO day, extending the
term of the Probate Court of your county
to two weeks if necessary. The rules be-
ing dispensed with, the bill was read sec
ond and third time and passed.
Judge BatieH, the Representative from
Vanderburgh, arrived here some days since
and took his seat His health has improved

been able 10 attend at the opening Of the
session, it was the design of the Speaker in
consideration Of his intimate connection with
the Canal interest and bis previous expert
ence in Legislation to place him at the head
of the committee on Canals and Internal I'm
provements. While it is much to be regret.
ted for his own sake that he did not obtain
this prominent stationit is gratifying to know
that his high standing with the influential
members of his party, will enable him TO rem.
der very efficient and valuable service in ouI
cause in more private capacity.
Numerous efforts were made in the Sen
ate this afternoon to adjourn over to Satur.

fused 10 adjourn over tomorrow.

LIEUT.. GENERAL BENToN.-The Wash
inglon correspondent of the Baltimore Pa
triot writes under date of the 2lst:
1t is true, believe, that the Adminisra-
ton has decided upon asking Congress 10 es-
tablish law creating the Office oflieutenant
general of the army, which is to be a grade
above the Offices held by Generals Scott and
Taylor in the army, and also 10 be clothed
with certain diplomatic functions. This Of
fee, British in lis name and character, is 10
be conferred upon Col Thomas H. Benton,
who has consented to accept it, if created
and rendered to him. The Administration
has approached him on the subject, and he
has yielded his consent to take the high and
responsible station.
DIR. Calhoun has also been sent for and
conferred with by the Administration. 1t is
presumed that he yields his consent to this
appointment Of his great antagonist, as a
means of getting rid of him in the Senate,
and perhaps for otherreasons.
Upon this, the editor of the Patriot remarks
as follows:
Our economical Administration has actual
military officer-that OF lieutenant general
an officer just about as necessary as fifth
wheel to a coach, and to be done for no other
purpose than to supersede the generals now
in the field, and TO secure the influence OF a
heretofore refractory partisan. A lieutenant
general is commander-in- chief of all the mil
itary forces of the country, and is second
only to the President of the United !
Now what is the use of such an officer at the
present lime, when we are engaged with on
ly poor, feeble, haf-whipt Mexico? During
the war with England, when we had fleets
and armies not only upon our coast, but in
our midst and our Capitol in flames, we had
no such officer; because none was thought
of, for none was needed
What military or other pretensions has
Col Benton TO rank over "Old Rough and
Ready" and the other veterans in the field
None whatever. Let such daring outrage
be committed, and ii will be sternly rebuked
by an indignant people. a

THE GERMAN CATHOLIC MOVE.
MENT In NEW YORK.

We published brief statement several
days ago of the remuneration Of Roman Cath
olicism by about two hundred German Gath
olcs in the city OF New York, who, from
long and attentive study of the Bible, were
led 10 secession as the only means ofquieling
their consciences and acquitling themselves
of their duties before God.
On Sunday afternoon, December the 18Th,
these people assembled in the Tabernacle,
and after a solemn aud formal remuneration
Of the Roman faith, organized themselves in
TO an ind pendent congregation under the
pastoral care of Rev. Mr.. Guistiniani, recent
Roman Catholic priest Of the order OF ST.
Francis.
The meeting is described in the N. York
papers of Monday and Tuesday as one which
had excited intense interest throughout the
city, and the Tabernacle was filed at an
early hour in the afternoon, after which hun
dreds of persons went away who could neither
effect an entrance nor get foothold between
the inner and outer doors, on the steps,
After the performance of an overture on the
organ and a chant by The choir, a hymn was
sung in German by the slittle hock," when
two young men ofinteIigent appearance ap-
preached Mr.. Giustiniani from the pews and
presented Bible TO Their pastor, who on re-
ceiving it addressed them in German and
the audience in English the Commercial Ad-
vertiser says, with much feeling, soemnly
promising "before high Heaven and the hum
dreds efore whom he Stood" to teach his
people the truths therein contained, and to
preach with all fidelity "Christ and him cru
cited. This brief ceremony wrought pow
erfal excitement throughout the house.
The reverend gentleman then addressed the
English portion ofthe audience from a pas
sage in the epistle of ST. John: ''lf the Son
shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed"
The seceders organized themselves into a
Society under the name OF "The German
Catholic Church, Their doctrinal creed
and church constitution, however, essential
