This is decidedly rich, and it would be very
amusing if it were not for the moral which it con-
veys. Here we see the representatives of the
great United States of America, the largest, finest
and most powerful nation IN the world-in the
model republic, as we are termed-we see the
council chamber of the nation turned into an arena
for the members to bedaub each other with invec-
tive vulgarity.
There can be but one opinion of such conduct,
and the country at large cannot but desire an early
termination of this already too long session. The
nation unsettled by such scenes, and the sooner
the members 60 home and dig their potatoes, the
better it will be.

Summary.

In the Senate, yesterday, Mr.. Dix moved to take
up the bill to establish branch mint IN this city;
which, after brief debate, was passed by. A
proposition was made to increase the number of
cadets at West Point, and agreed to. When, after
some discussion upon the Appropriation bill, that,
establishing territorial government in Oregon
was taken up, and occupied the Senate until the
hour Of adjournment In the House, after the
routine of business was got through with, tie
resolutions from the Committee on Commerce, in
relation to river and harbor improvements were
passed by large majority. The Civil and Diplo-
matte bill then underwent discussion, without

Abortion AND DEATH IN LowELL.-Dr. CALVIN
Batcheldcr has been arrested on charge Of pro-
curing abortion. The circumstances which led to
his arrest says the I'or Popitii, we learn are as
follow Mrs Eunice Hing, residing at Acton, a
widow lady, whose husband was killed on the
Fitchburg Railroad, by the caving in of the bridge
about eight months since, came to this city about
two or three week ago, in apparently good health.
After remaining here fortnight, she was carried
home corpse. This gave rise TO suspicion, which
led 10 post MoYtem examination, which resulted
in the fact that an abortion had been produced. l.
was also asceriained that her stay in Lowell had
been at the house OF DR.. Batchelder, where she
died. Ills examination took place on Friday, be-
fore the police court The following evidence
gives the main particulars OF the case. There was
testimony that the woman was under the charge Of
DR.. Batchelder Dr. Henry A. Barrett, Of Con-
cord, was called to see the body of Mrs. Kline, In
Acton, on the Sd of July made an examination ;
opened the chest and saw nothing unnatural; ex-
amlncd The uierls externally and saw nothing UNI
natural; on opening, by cutting, and examining
internally, saw perforaton of the uters, about
the size OF quill the womb had the appearance
of having been lnilamed found eoaguated blood !;
The opening had been plugged with cloth or some
hing; The hole was not a natural one; 1t must
have been made by some foreign agent; what |
have described sufficient TO cause death dis
covered DO disease the stomach appeared natural
and hea 't.y. ! had been toll before went to Ac-
ton that abortion had been produced. My cx4mi-
n uon was made mainly TO learn whether abortion
had been produced; | examined with view to
learn the cause of the death suppose that the
wound that saw could not exist many days with

opinion IS that the appearances OF the WOMB could

WHAT CoNeRRss OreHr TO Do.-By referring
TO the reports of the debates from day to day In
Congress, II is easy to what Congress ought
not to do; but as the members are so much en-
gagged IN electoneering, and in drinking brandy
and water, that they have no time to think of what
they ought TO do, we will tell them
FIRST and foremost they should dispose of the
territorial bill for Oregon. The minds of the men,
bers are fully made up as to the manner in which
they will vote, and we have had quite an abun-
dance of gas and wind on the subject. Let them
come TO direct vote at once, and dispose of the
matter 1t has been delayed too long already
The next thing which that body ought do, is to
provide for the liquidated Mexican claims Many
of the holders of these claims are in state of
poverty, with their patience exhausted. After they
dispose of that, they might benefcally repeal the
pilot law of 1887, by which great wrong has
been committed on worthy and enerprising class
OF people, and though last not least, they ought to
pass the bill for the establishment of branch mint
In the city of New York When these mattersare
disposed of, we would give them piece of advice,
and that is TO go home and attend to their own bu-
slness.
This is what Congress ought to do: but we
doubt very much whether it will be done There
are too many politicians OF the small potato genus
among them, 10 induce us to indulge IN such a
hope. The members talk from day to day abou
the merits of this candidate, the dement's of that
one, and the want of principle in another. as if
really and truly the business of electing Presl-
dent was placed in their hands exclusively This
is ar hallucination; for if the members will lust
look at that old-fashioned instrument called the
constitution of the United States, they will see that
the people elect their Presidents and it is only on
the occurrence of a certain contingency, that Con-
G ess has anything TO do with the matter-and then
only one branch of that body Until such contn-
gency shall have occurred, they have nothing to
do with the election further than deposting their
individual votes in the ballot boxes of their respec-
tive districts.
With this explanation of the duties of members
OF Congress in this matter, we trust thew will
cease their elecnoneering tricks, and 90 to work
at the business before them, of which there is
abundance, and then go home.

SCENES IN CoNGREss.-Ihe tail-end of a ses-
sion OF Congress preceding our Presidential
elections, exhibits some curious scenes The
sage and sapient legislators, who are paid
eight dollars day for discharging their du-
ties and attending to the interests of the nation,
throw all responsibility Of business overheard and
indulge in invective, some times pugilism, and al.
ways in cectioneering for and against the candi-
dates of the respective parties. On BIoadsy last
the House Of Representatives presented a funny
spectacle. We give the following condensed ac-

HAVOC AMONG GENERALs.-The nomination of
General Kearny for Brevet Major General has
been rejected by the Senate IN secret session An
insnuatlon has been thrown out that Mr. Benton
put has lingerie his nose and brought about this
rejection IN consequence of the quarrel between
the General and his son-in-law, Colonel Fremont
Whether this insinuatlon be well founded or other
wise, at all events the rejection of the General
iorebodes no good to other military men receiving
nominations; and we should not be at all surprised
to see the whole bunch Of them kicked ont. neck
and heels together.
These Generals and high military men have per-
formed great exploits, and been covered with
honor at The deadly breach; but when the fighting
was over and the war come to an end, they seem
to have outstrlpped each other in making them
selves ridiculous to all the world by their vanity
foolishness, and Stiffness of all sorts IT'S sngu-
lar indeed, that men of the highest military talent
should thus become the completest jackasses after
! the fighting was over.
| We much fear that all these nominations in the
! Senate will end in fuss and feathers. Perhans
! the country willnot greatly lamentiflt should be So
! There is, however, portion of the Mexican
amy which, as yet, has been by far too much neg
| lected. This is the subaltems and rank and file
portion of the army, the men who have done all
the bloody work and gained all the bloody victo-
ries, and yet have not received the least need of
praise or reward. Nothing, perhaps would be
more intercssing'to The public than tie separate
memoirs of many of these subaltern officers and
men, during the two campo igns They would
throw infinite light over the transactions of the
war, upon its character, the temper of the men.
and the conduct and spirit of the officers and
troops, such as would be invaluable record to
the country and the world. We trust these re-
cords and "reminiscences will yet be brought forth.
and that the general officers who have also done
their share Of fighting and foolery will not run
away with all the honors and emoluments of this
brilliant conquest,
