Thirtieth COngress-2d. Session.

S1ave trade in the District Of Columbia.-
In the House Of Representatives, on the
2lst ult., Mr.. Colt offered the following
resolution, and demanded the previous ques-
ton thereon:
Whereas the traffic now prosecuted in this mo.
tropolis the Republic in humen beings, as chat
ties is contrary TO natural justice and the funds-
mental principles OF our political system, and 10
VIGOROUSLY reproach 10 our country throughout
Christendom, and serious hinderance 10 the pro.
gress OF republican liberty among the nations Of
the EARTH Therefore.
RESOLVED. That the committee for the District
OF Columbia be instructed to repor, bill, as soon
as practicable, prohibiting the slave trade in said
District.
After divers motions, and the disposal Of
several points or order raised, the demand
for the previous question was seconded, and
the yeas and nays called on the adoption Of
the resolution, and it was adopted by a vote
of yeas 90, nays 81.
A motion was then made by Mr.. Stew
art to consider the vote adopting the reso-
luton of Mr.. Gott-whch motion the
speaker decided should lie over till next
day, and his decision was sustained by tho
House.
The subject was not brought up again
until the Goth, on which day the Speaker
announced as the first business in order, the
reconsideration of the vote on Mr.. Roots
resolution, providing for the prohibition Of
the slave trade in the district of Columbia.
Mr.. Stewart, of Michigan, opposed tho
abolition of slavery without the consent Of
the people, and desired that the resolution
should be so amended.
A motion TO lay the resolution on the IA.
BILE, was rejected, and then its further con.
sideration was postponed for two weeks.
The introduction Of this resolution into
the House, and its passage, created consid.
cradle excitement at Washington, both in
and out of Congress. A meeting of the
members of Congress from all the southern
States except Delaware, was held in the
Senate Chamber, on the evening of the 22d
December, for the purpose of considering
what steps were best TO be taken to meet
the state of things threatened by the adop.
ton of the resolution.
Mr.. Morse, of Louisiana, opened the pro-
ceedings in speech ofgreat earnestness.
Gov. Metcalf was appointed President Of
meeting, and Mr.. Venabe, Secretary.
A committee of one from each of tho
southern States, was appointed 10 mature
and bring forward report upon the sub
ject, and submit resolutions TO meet the ext
gency.
A number of eloquent, powerful and ami
mated speeches were delivered, when the
meeting adjourned to the 18th Of January.
At meeting of Glasgow Division, No.

Rev. HENRY WARD BEEcHER, who is
now lecturing in Boston, said the sensible
thing that follows, in discourse on Amuse-
ments, delivered short time since before
the Mercantile Literary Association of that
city:
"Amusemehts were indispensable to sound
morals. If the young were not provided with
harmless and virtuous amusements, they would
have vicious and corrupling smusements. Some
parents are so much afraid that their children
would do wrong, that they would not let them do
anything, but when they obtained their liberty
with none to control their pleasures hav-
ing learned to act Alright, they were quite sure 10
riot in self indulgence"

THINGS IN JEFFERSON.

We make the following extract from the
Jefferson correspondent, of the Springfield
Wing The "Sons" ought to send a mis-
sionary to the Capitol, while the State
should employ "Green, the reformed Gam
bier" to give course of lectures TO the
members.
"Col. John Bareycorn is in town, and hes
taken possession OF foarteen tenements. in each
OF which he intends to sell himself in small
quantities, 10 suit dealers. The venerable Colo
mel has, by the warm feelings with which he in
spires all his friends, attracted quite crowd oil
professors deeply versed in the MYSTERY and his
tory OF the four kings, viz of hearts, clubs, dia.
monds and spades. These last mentioned gen>
try, with the Colonel's aid, intend taking charge
Of the small change and pay Of the Legislators,
thus relieving them Of The necessity Of paying
their board and washing bills. But seriously, it
is burning shame that men elected to make the
laws OF free people should encourage and
countenance the horde Of gamblers that congre.
gate about the seat Of government during the SEES
sons of the Legislature. With such trfng vsg.
abonds, who are too lazy TO work. and afraid 10
steal, the members will mingle and associate;
and whilst their wives and friends at home think
that they are laying out their energies and taxing
their strength for the public veal, they are 'hae
fellows, we'll met" with things, in the shape o.
men, who spend their lives in violating the laws
of the land. The members owe it to themselves
and the public TO lrown down and treat with
contempt such characters"

The REVENUE OF CALIFoRNIA. The Repub-
lie, speaking Of California, mentions some facts in
regard to the revenues. During the military occu-
patton Of California, moneys were collected as
military contributions. After the news of peace a
revenue was collected coniornaby TO- the existing
tariff Of the United States. On the arrival Of Gen.
Smith, the acting collectors ceased to exact duties,
but received money on deposit to await the action
ofCongress. The moneys thus collected, amount
lag to near half million Of dollars, are now de-
posted in the hands Of the quartermaster. The
military contributions, under laie law, can be
paid into the treasury; but the revenue collected
subsequentlyto the peace, and up 10 the 10Th Of
March, is not money collected according TO law
though the Republic presumes it will ultimately
/ find its way into the treasury

their booty. On retiring they-ocked up the vault,
locked all the doors, and left everything as they
found it, with the exception Of the money they

CURIOUS ASSAULT AND ATTEMPT TO .RoB.-
The. New York Tribune gives the following par
ticulars of most daring attemptqs highway rob
berry in the city of Brooklyn:
The community in the vicinity of Pearl street,
near johnson and Hillary streets, were thrown into
a state of the greatest excitement yesterday morn
ing (the l7th), by the intelligence that violent.
and unproVOked assault had been committed upon
the person of young lady, aged about 10, by a.
man named Charles Sprague, who cannot be over
25 years of age. Alderman Spies, near whose
residence the affair took place, hearing the screams
of the girl, went immediately her assistance, but
did not succeed in catching the assailant. The
motive for the assault is not yet known, as the ae-
cused has not been examined, owing to the inability
of the young lady, consequent upon her right TO
| attend the investigation. Ii is supposed that he
| will he brought out to-day. The lady was walk
| ing along rather careessly, with gold chain in
! her hand and when she observed that some one
] was walking behind her, put it in the pocket or
her dress, when she was Immediately pushed down;
and an effort made to graspat something, she could
not tell what. The straDgest part of this strange
affair remains TO be told. During the scutte winch
ensued, the young man pulled of the girls shoe,
and. putting it in his pocket walked deliberately
away Il was afterwards found in his possession.

has ever had a suspicion that lie was addicted 10
such crimes He is the Of one of the most
respectable clergymen Of this city, was printer

afford him a livelihood. The whole occurrence
appears 70 be one of those strange affairs (perhaps
