The bill provides the surrender to the road of the

MIR Breese, MIR Lewis, MIR. King, Mr.. Westcott, Mr..

Mr.. NILS said that this was perhaps the proper

Congressional Reporting Kentucky-Mr. Benton.
Heaven be praised, the legislation of the coun-
Try does not always flow in muddy stream OF
corruption The scheme TO endow the two party
ournals at the expense of the government, has
failed signally in the House of Representatives.
II was defeated in its passage to-day, by vote
of So to so. The motion to reconsider the vote
was laid on table, so that the measure cannot be
recuscitated. l by no means charged corruption
onlaIl those who voted for the bill. for Its merits
were little understood;bu certainly amore corrupt
measure never was introduced in that House. 1t
was plan TO endow capital and TO crush labor.
Under such system, it was impossible to expect
fair reports of the proceedings of Congress II the
design in reality be to spread intelligence among
the people, the first step should be to abolish the
postage on all newspapers giving reports of Con-
gressional debates, and in the next place. each
house should have Its sworn reporters-officers Of
the body.
The argument used IN favor Of giving the re-
porting 10 the two party journals here Is that the
reports would be spread among the people that
these reports are now spread before the people at
great expense to the proprietors; and that unless
paid for by Congress, they must be discontinued.
The answer TO this is, that from the limited clrcu-
lation of those journals, the people at large learn
nothing from them of the proceedings of Congress;
that their reports are wholly unreliable from their
inaccuracy and barrenness; and that, bad as they
are ii is the only feature IN them that induces peo
pie to subscribe; and that, therefore, 1.-THE reports
cannot be discontinued. They have held up this
as bugbear to Congress: 6 If you do not give us
the reporting, you will not be reported at all, and
you will be consigned to oblivion )" and the House
has very properly turned it's back their threats
Now, let some plan be devised for improving on
the present system Of the Senate.
The news from Kentucky represents Mr..
Crittenden as running behind his ticket, and the
democrats as having gained on the last canvass
Should the wing majority be sensbly reduced In
Kentucky, there is no hope for the wing ticket In
November.
The time of the Senate during the whole of to-
day and yesterday, has been taken up by Mr.
Benton lin executive SESSION., in TRADE against
General Kearny. 1t is really most charitable to
the Missouri Senator, to believe that MIR. Hanne-
gan's superstition regarding him is correct one
that he is slightly demented Such extravaganza
is unaccountable, on any other hypothesis. Mr..
Benton has many fine qualities and his greatness
of intellect is undeniable it is, therefore, that the
unseemly course he sometimes pursues. is to be
the more regretted. GAINIENsIs.

Evening Mem ora qda.


The two houses to-day have been engaged in
miscellaneous matters. The Senate has worked
industriously, but the House has been more occu-
pied with Buncumbe and speeches for home con-
sumption than any thing else.
In the executive session to-day, the Senate made
sundry military combinations, and among them
we are glad to learn that Major Gillespie, of the
Marine corps, was confirmed in two brevet APP
poinments. LIST, as captain for his bravery at Gu
dad de los Angeles, in defending the place with a
few men against GOO CalifornIans. I'd, as Major,
for his courage and ntrepdity at the battle of San
Pasqual three months after the affair at the
Angeles, the battle of San Pasqual being on
Christmas day 1916, if we remember correctly.
From Col. Fremont and Others, it would seem
that the Major was in all the battles in California
and behaved himself always like Trojan
Hence, he is fairly entitled to the honors he has
received.
Gen. Worth, Col r. M. Johnson Col. Riley,
(of the rifles at Contreras,) and sundry other per-
sons OF distinguished calibre, were In the Capitol
to-day.
The President gave his last lepee of the season
this evening. In addition to the usual hOspltabe
family of the Executive, Major w. II. Polk and
lady, and Miss Rucker, a niece Of Mrs. Polk, were
present. If we had any right to say SO, we should
repeat here what we have said heretofore, that
Miss r. has TO eminent degree that happy
faculty of mparting to her friends by her presence
among them, a sense of that elevation of mind
and spirit, which only a woman OF elevated mind
and superior graces can bestow AS for Mrs.
Polk she is alike distinguished for her merits as
lady, and her virtues Christian. Her official
station, so TO speak, is maintained as every Amer-
can would wish il to be, in illustrating the true
spirit of the sex of this Union, blending together
the attractions Of refinement, the ease and dignity
of republican simplcty-the hospitalltles of a
social welcome, and the amenities of religion.
For a religious Unborn sentiment is prevailing
characteristic of the sex of this confederation and
10 this we shall turn for safety when all your

night.
few more days, and Congress will be thrown
adrift into the political contest among the people
at large.
One word personally. An associate, in his
branch of the description of the late democratic
meeting here, sets down .the Doctor" as describ.
ing series Of at the end of the procession
and as singing song out OF tune. This was In
tended for fun, but the joke was too broad. "The
Doctor" never describes curves, and never sings
out of place nor out of tune Never in his life has
he been reduced to the inference of this incon
siderate piece of wit. Satisfied that he has many
friends who do not know HIM, he asks their In
diligence in this explicit "vindicatlon of the truth

The wings find crumb of comfort this morn

they also have hopes that the Old North State
will yet stand her ground. They accuse Henry
Clay, as the cause Of the detection in North
Carolina, on account OF his not giving his

be able to raise much money, as they have been so
often drained for repeal, that they seem to have
their doubts as to whether any future contribu-
tons will be used the furtherance of the object
for which it was raised.
The number of deaths in this city, during the
past week, was 81, being falling off of nearly
40, as compared with the number during the three
previous weeks, there being but so under 10 years
of age, whereas they averaged so before.
The telegraph line between Petersburgh and
Charleston is a perfect nuisance to all who have
telegraph business to transact This line has been
completed about five months, and, during that
time, l do not think that 1t has worked, on an
average, more than one day In the week. The
consequence is, that not more than one despatch
IN dozen that leaves this city for the South, ever
reaches Its destination an hour In advance of the
mail, notwithstanding which, they refuse, in all
cases, to refund the tolls paid for failing de-
spatches.

Free Soil Melting characteristics Cause of
Ireland.
On Friday night, meeting OF the friends Of
Henry Clay and free soil, was held In the CAPT
toll. The place was not crowded. yet those who
were there were very enthusiastic, and, in accor-
dance with Hon. Mitchell Sanford, one of the
speakers, gave evidence of their intended OPPOSE
ton to Gen. Taylor, and their acquiescence in the
nomination Of the Buffalo Convention, which they
hope and expect will be Mr. Van Buren,.
Mr. F. S. Chanfrau closed his engagement at
the Museum on Saturday evening, with a benefit,
having full house to see Nose.
Tonight meeting of the friends of Ireland took
place in the capitol. 1t was composed principally
OF the bone and sinew of society, who contributed
pretty freely the sinews OF war. The minutes Of
the last meeting were read and approved; when,
after eloquent speechfrom Mr.. Gaffney land one
from Mr.. Dawson, 5000 so was handed In by the
warm hearted and toiing sons Of Erin; $1,000 was
subscribed at their last meeting. HAROLD.

The Case of General Kearny-INe Canadian
Statesman.
A rumor has preva lied that the Senate has con-
firmed the nomination of General kearny This
is mistake-Mr. Benton still continues to pitch
into him. Yesterday he spoke in executive ses-
sion for four consecutive hours on this subject,
and to-day he gave two hours dose. Tomorrow
there will be an executive session, commencing
at ii o'clock, by agreement, when Kearny will
receive the coup dc grace Mr.. Calhoun has
Joined the Southern wings in Kearney's favor,
and the fight is warm
We observed in the Senate chamber this morn
ing the Hon. Mr.. Sullivan, President OF the Cana
dian Council. He appeared to view the proceed
ings with interest, and we have no doubt with
satisfaction. Mr.. Sullivan is of the most
brilliant orators we ever listened to-combnlng
the eoquence of Corwin with the profundity of
Webster He is, however, confined to his mar
row circle In Canada, and beyond its limits is I'M
known To mind like his, the reflection must
occur, hoy much greater might be his path OF am
biuon, were Canada joined to his Union. The
seed has been planted, however, and II will bear
fruit by and by. Canada is not destined to re-
main forever petty appendage OF the British
crown
