A Day In Congress-.

MY son. said the wise old Chancellor
go forth and see with how little wisdom
the world is governed melancholy
spectacle, truly: and yet the general lack
Of fdelity-of true !oyalty-of essential
moral honesty-is even amore deplorable
characteristic of the exercise Of power
Some two hundred and ninety men are
elected and well paid by the People of this
country to perform the duties of Federal
or National Legislature. They are paid
for each day they work, with clear inn
plication that they shall work for each day
they are paid. though that by no means
follows. Nobody expects or wishes that
each Member shall be in attendance every
day and hour Of session. on pain of sub
hitting to reduction from his paw; but
there IS general and necessary implica-
ton that no man shall take pay for time
when he wilfully neglected his duty. and
hereby obstructed and prevented the
transaction Of business Is not this IN.
deniable!
On Monday. the two Houses of Con-
gress met and went through the usual pre-
liminaries: on Tuesday they received and
endured the reading Of the President
Message; on Wednesday. the House elect
ed Chaplain. and, within three-quarters
OF an hour after meeting. by vote of Ga
to 81, adjourned; dozens sitting in their
seats and not voting. and only nineteen
rising in support Of demand for the
Yeas and Nays. The Senate did not even
succeed in forming a quorum; out of
fifiy-seven or eight Members. who ale all
sure to be in for their pay and mileage, only
twenty-nine appeared in their seats: and
the annual hypocrisy of elec.ing Chap
lain had to go over and waste another dav.
II either House had Chaplain who dare
preach to its Members what they ought TO
hear-of their faithlessness, their neglect
OF duty. their iniquitous waste Of time and
robbery Of the public by taking from the
Treasury money which they have not even
attempted to earn-then there would be
some sense in the Chaplain business; but
any ill-bred Nathan or Elijah who should
undertake such a job would be kicked out
in short order. So the chaplaincv remains
a thing OF grimace and mummery, nicely
calculated TO help some aockless and COM
PLEASANT shepherd to q few hundred dollar S,
and impose on devout simple,ons an exalt.

ANNEXATION OF TExAs.-It appears by
letter from Ansom Jones. Esq, Secreta-
ry Of State of Texas in 1914, that Gen.
Houston. the then President, directed him
to issue instructions to the agents Of Tex
as in England and France, to make such
an arrangement, as ''would give to the Eu-
ropean governments, parties to it, a per-
feet right to forbid, for all time to come,
the annexation Of Texas to the United
would never consent to the measure. -
Mr.. Jones says, he ''incurred the respon-
sibility of postponlng the same, and after
wards consummated the measure ofanncX-
alton, in direct opposition to the policy of
General Houston'' We shall probably
have further developments on this subject,
as, if we mistake not. Gen. Houston has
claimed a large share of the credit Of an
nexing Texas TO the United States. If
we remember correctly, he alleged, that
his overtures to European powers were a
ruse to induce the American government
to act on the matter of annexation with
promtitude. We recollect that much was
said at the Sine about expected interfe-
renee on the par: of England, which no
doubt had some influence in precipitating
the annexation.

~ The Editor of the Joncsborougl
(Tennessee) Wig received a Circular
dated "Charleston, South Carolina, No
vember. 1885," signed by II. W. Conner
Hon. ". Gilmore Simms, and other citi
zens Of South Carolina, suggesting the
holding of a Convention of the Slavehold
ing States, and inviting his eco operation
and COUNSEL in the matter. The Editor
replies 10 the Circular, and after some re
marks not very complimentary to South
Carolina and its grea, master, concludes
as follows:
l regard TO your proposition for ':Con.
vention of the Slaveholding States,'' toge.
Their with an expressed determination ..te
resist at all hazards,' what you are pleas

Southern interests, unless the South, in an
evil hour, should consent to be led by
John Cataline Calhoun, whom Gen. Jack

In conclusion, gentleman, my advice to
you. and the citizens of South Carolina
whom you represent. is, to abondon your

citizens, 10 the Laws and Constitution OF
your Country. In obedience to injunc

POSTMASTER GENERALS SUGGESTIONS.
We yesterday gave brief extract OF
the report of the Postmaster General, but
had not time to remark on some of his
suggestions. lie thinks that il would be
a great advantage to have newspapers
sent in the mail by weight, as he supposes
that such regulation would induce the
proprietors no. to send their papers in a
damp cnodtion. This is certainly a nov
ell idea. and shows that the Postmaster
General has little acquaintance with the
routine Of publishing a newspaper
Newspapers must, of necessity, be sent
by post in a damp state, for they are mail
ed as fast as printed, and consequently
could not 60 through any drying process.
even if a machine for the purpose could
be invented. The suggestion is so per-
fectly absurd, that we hardly deem ii wor-
thy of comment, and have no idea that it
deemed advisable to send newspapers by
weight, it must be for other then the rea-
sons assigned by the Postmaster General
There is another suggestion in the re-
port, in relation TO newspapers. pamphlets,
&c, which we think, it would be inexpedi-
cnt to adopt. The Postmaster General
"Oulu nave Tue postage Oh tneSe puDHca-
lions prepaid. Now this would be oner-
Gus to publishers, and might have the eff:
feet of restricting the circulation Of news
papers; whereas it is not only the interest,
but the duty Of the government, to have
information diffused as generally as pos
sible. The collection of the postage on
newspapers, pamphlets. &c, at the place
Of delivery, causes little trouble, and no
loss worth speaking Of 1t can be requr-
ed quarterly in advance, or otherwise, as
may be considered most expedient and as
Postmasters are now required to apprize
proprietors when papers are not taken
from their Offices, few newspapers would
accumulate at any post office.
Every facility should be given to the
transmission of newspapers; for. in pro-
portion to the spread Of knowledge will
the safety OF the republic be increased
In relation to letters, experience has prov
ed, that the cheap system Of postage has
been the most productive-and we there
fore hope, that postage on letters, newspa-
pers. &C., will be reduced to the lowest
scale compatible with the self sustaining
principle of the Post Office Department

GOLD IN V1RGINIA.-The following ex-
tracts, in relation to the Whitehall gold
mine in Nirg inia, owned by Com. Stock
ton Maj. Heiss and others, are from let
ter written by gentleman travelling in Vir-
ginia to friend of his. The statements
may by implicitly relied on as true and
unexaggerated. We understand that the
propretors Of this mine are erecting ex-
tensive works and employing large force
upon them. so that it is possible that rich
harvest of this precious metal may be
reaped elsewhere than in California. Eve.

THE GOLD REG1oN.-The gold fever
RACES tremendously. In every direction
we hear of individuals making prepara-
tons to visit the gold mines of California
some of whom will take the materials of
houses with them, ready prepared to be
put up. California certainly presents an
inviting prospect to youthful adventures;
for. independently of the gold to be gath

will be great commercial advantages Of

constructed across the continent. either by
the government of the United States, or
by individual enterprise, We consider GER

built up at San Francisco, we think be-
yond doubt. We are not, then surprised
at the desire which prevails to remove to
