Mr.. Whittlesey, the Fist Comptroller of the
Treasury, has refused to allow TO the Secretary Of
the Senate, Mr.. Asbury Dickens, in settlement of
his account, the sum Of about $4,000, paid by him
TO the members of the late Senate, who met at the
called session of the fourth of March. Those who
took their seats there for the first time, are, course
entitled to mileage without question. Those who
were Senators already were on the ground, and it
is commended by Mr. Whttlesey that they are not
entitled to mileage for going and returning because
they didsnot actually perform any journey.
The allowance is an ancient usage, and hes
generally been accepted by Senators Of all parties
A few have declined taking it from scFuples of con-
science, hut nearly all the distinguished men of
every side have taken it a right and defend it as
just and lawful. Only three members Of the last
Senate declined it. They were General Cass, Mr..
Reverdy johnson and Mr.. Clayton now Secretary
Of State. General Cass had arrived in Washington,
on his reelection, only day or two before the
fourth Of March, and had drawn mileage for the
regular session. There was obvious propriety that
he should not get double mileage within two OF
three days. The residence of Mr.. johnson being il
Baltimore, and that Of Mr. Clayton in Washington
the sum for mileage was Insignificant, and neithe
probably thought it worth inquirng for as an extra
But we are told that all three, Cass, johnson an
Clayton sustain the legal right of Senators to tn
allowance. It is stated in the Baltimore Sun tina
MIR. Calhoun took the mileage and holds that it
legal allowance. Attorney General Johnson ha
given an opinion to the same effect The lat
Vice President Dallas has drawn up a like argu
msut, and it is supported by Mr.. Webster.
With all these authorities and train of prece
dents, it is hardly proper to denounce the paymen
as a swindle." The whole subject needs revi
sion and an adjustment by fixed law, and this oc
currence may lead to that event. Some incident
heretofore have looked very much like abusing tn
privileges Of law. In one case a member of tn
.the House of Representatives was appointed Sena
tor by the Governor Of his State to fill vacancy
He was afterwards elected by the Legislature, con
firming the Governors appointment, and he drew
mieages three times and yet made but one journey
There is no doubt that the Senate will sustain
Mr. Dickens in the payments ne has made.

THE TRAGEDY IN ST. LoUIs.-The st. Louis
Republican of the LIST inst. has the following in re-
gard to the late attempt to take the Montesquions
from Jail:
The excitement which was manifested in our
city during Tuesday, in consequence of the late
tragedy atthe City Hotel, and the feeling displayed
in the evening of that day. TO obtain the perpetra
tors Of the outrage and administer summary punish
ment, TO great extent subsidized yesterday, and no
further demonstration of a lawless character was
made. Indeed, even if better judgment had not Ia
ken possession of the minds of those engaged in the
proceedings of Tuesday night, and disposition
shown 10 allow Justice to be administered by due
course of law, their incnations would have been
disappointed by any further demonstration. Be
tween sevenand eight o'clock on Tuesday evening
and while the crowd were assembling around the
Jail walls, the jailor and sheriff, deemng it unsafe
to keep the prisoners longer in Jail, quietly took
them from their cells, conveyed them over the bac k
wall through the church yard to Fifth street. where
cabs were in waiting and run them down to Jeffsr-
| son Barracks, where they are now confined and
probably will remain until the State is ready 10 pro-
| coed with their examination. On the way to the
| Barracks, the elder of the two seemed perfectly
composed, and when they reached the gate took
! advantage of the sherlff's absence from the cab
| spTang from his seat and made slight effort to es
cape the younger appeared very much frightened
! and used every preeautiOn, while being conducted
| from the Jail, to prevent his being recognized
An examination of the effects and papers tOuRC
in the trunks of the prisoners, confirms the belle
that they what they represent themselves to be
! and dispes the impression so earnestly entertained
on Tuesday, that they were 'geneel thieves or mel
travelling in the style and under the title Of count
in order to alay suspicion, and render their chance
for robbery more complete"

for the rejection by the Senate of the nomination of

respondent is understood to be Nathan Sergeant, a

against Mr.. Lewis is the unpopular use he has

NEW York ELECTIoNs.-The Geographic re-
port that the wings have carried ten out of the
eighteen members of the Assembly in New York
city needs confirmation. There are only sixteen
representative districts in the city. The number of
Wards is eighteen-two of the districts being COM
posed of two Wards each. 1t is therefore uncer-
tain what number of representatives has been
elected by each party. We suppose that the wings
have carried ten of the eighteen Wards, which
maybe ten of the Sirteen districts, but we suspect
that there will be nine to SeUen Last year we be-
lieve, in consequence of the democratic divisions,
the wings had all the Senators, and, we believe,
all the Members of the Assembly but one or two,
from New York city. The wing majority of t,UO

year, Gen. Taylor's majority over both Cess and
Van Buren, in New York city exceeded four thou
