MEMORIAL. tssga 3S T..
To the Senate aud House Of Representatives. Of The
United States IN Congress assembled: The memorial
Of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
they are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
of 18th Of September, 1880 that they are informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be;
that they do not expect or desire to reside on me
land thus granted; that if patented to them, the
expense Of agencies and taxes viii be an annual
charge, reducing the value OF the grant, which
they could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Yonr n,erorinlists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assumes
thai the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands are not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many of them are among the most intel
I,,.t and respectable citizens of the States. They
! .,ss.atore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
nav be so modified as to make the warrants for
honpty lands assgnable, and they will ever

FC.1IIFOPkII

TINE public will be gratifed to learn that the
/ United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abled to announce that their arrangements are now
complete for sending passengers through from
New York to San Francisco and back.
In the first attempts of this Company to meet
the wants of travel to California by providing
ships on the Pacific, in connection with their
ships from New York to Chagres, they were pre-
vailed upon, at the urgent solicitation of the great
number then DESTROYS TO go out to sell tickets for
through passages from Panama in advance, for
their ships then going round This was done
from desire to accommodate those who could
procure passages in no other quarter, and by
which, whatever might be the detention, they
would reach San Francisco sooner than by any
other line Unforeseen difficulties, and the preya-
ence of fever at Rio de Janeiro at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama as soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the 18TH
mus, which was increased by the Impotence of
passengers in going forward, against the advice
of the Company, at an earlier day than the ship
could possibly reach Panama. a'st
These Interruptions are now all removed.
Three of the four ships OF the Company, intended
for the Pacific service, have arrived at Panama,
and several of them have performed trips to San
Francisco and back. So that the Company are
now able to give the public the assurance that the
VOYAGE through from New York to San Fran
cisco, will be performed with regularity and des-
patch. . .... ......

TELEGRlPHIC INTELLIGENCE.
The News by the Teisgr.phs.


The position of the great question at Washing
ton remains about the same as it did yesterday.
In the House of Representatives, after struggle
for the floor between Mr. Preston King and Mr..
Hillisrd, the latter resumed the speech commenced
last Tuesday. 1t was on the slavery question, but
brought out nothing new. Mr.. Fitch, also, spoke
on the same subject, and met with poser from
Mr.. Brown, which brought him up at last upon
something like palpable platform while Mr..
Cmemsn discoursed, in mysterious phrases, upon
courtships and Valentines. As yesterday was
mating day among " birds Of a feather,' il ought
to have been devoted strictly to the purpose.
Members might have spared off" to some adj
vantage for the country on the occasion, and an
exciting subject have been put to rest-at least.
measurably SO.
The proceedings in the Senate present the only
semblance Of change for the better. The mag.
unanimous stand taken by Mr.. Clay, however, is
ominons Of good tidings. The little that he said
will have en- abiding influence upon our Legislators
and, from the first, stll express our belief
that Mr.. Clay's course will have more weight than
all the inactive policy that can be counselled by
the cabinet. His remarks upon the design with
which he would make his resolutions tell home,
show that he is abundantly fortified in his posi-
ton. When MIR. Calhoun has spoken, we may
anticipate that Mr. Webster's eloquence, also, will
be aroused-and these three great statesmen will
then exhibit wonderful spectacle of mental and
moral power. We must be prepared for an ex-
citing scene, though we may still enjoy the hope
ola favorable termination Of the conflict.
Affairs in our own State are not without interest,"
Matters interesting to New York and to Brooklyn,
are now In discussion. Among these, will be no
ticed, with pleasure, the tardy, though acceptable
movement in the Assembly, in behalf of the New
York Volunteers, and those who have suffered
from the sacrifice of many of them on the field of
battle. 1t the universal sentiment of the people,
that something should be done to alleviate the
woes Of those whose husbands and sons persisted
IN the of their country, and also, to soothe
the sufernes of the survivors, and it will gladden.
many heart to find that the resolutions cover
wide inquiry. Our despatch does not furnish us
with the names OF those who voted against the re-
solutions, bat they will be treasured when once
obtained, they should be. tits to be hoped that
time will not be lost in making some appropriation
TO meet the urgent demands Of the case. This
business has been delayed too long already.

DIseRAcEFUL FRAcAs IN THE LEGISLATURE The
fracas which took place in the Assembly Of this
State, at Albany, on Wednesday afternoon last,
between AFR. Burroughs and Mr.. Story, was dis
graceful TO the parties concerned, and entitled
them to be expelled from that body. Mr. Story. IL
sppears, evinced his good breeding aud his gentle.
minlike manners by telling Mr.. burroughs that he
led. This he repeated and, by way Of resentinr
the insult, MIR Burroughs deliberately threw
lumber at Mr.. Story. But for an accident, the
tumbler would have struck an innocent person,
and perhaps deprived him hie.

way, yet on precisely the same principles the men
here had been educated in at kome. But pouula-
lion flows In, and everybody feeas the necessity Of
organizing a government. There is no debate
about forms; there is no substantial difference in
political opinion. Every American there is sure
to be republican, and he Is sure to have carried
with him the elements of his government. The
popular voice demands that convention of the
people be assembled, to take into consideration
the organization Of a State. The convention
meets. 1t is composed of men who have been
familiar with legislation from their boyhood, who
have been educated in the principles of the fathers
of this republic and who have strong, clear, well
established principles, in regard to human rights
and civilized society. This convention propose a
system of government, and prepare a constitution.
1t is recommended to the people, and 1t is adopted
few days later, the astonishing spectacle pre-
sented of wellordered, firmly established repub-
lie. The entire machinery of government at once
moves on in harmony Claw is respected, and men
feel almost the same security for their lives and
properly, which they felt IN their native State.
No long period Of experience, debate, struggle,
or experiment, had 10 pass away before govern
ment could exist. The men who lived in Califor-
MIA were ready to become good citizens the moment
they landed there; for, in most cases, they went
there to better their fortunes, and intent upon the
great business tor which they started, they feel
the necessity of conferring power enough upon a
government to give them security in their pursuits
Drawn by ties of nature and bonds of association
to their native countries, there is but one opinion
about the political relations they will form; and
the people elect the number of Representatives In
Congress to which they are entitled under our own
organic law, and the Legislature elects two Sena-
tors and the steamer, which brings the news Of
the proceedings, tells us that the new Senators and
Representatives are already on their way to Wash
ington, to lay the offering of a new republic,
founded on the shores of the Pacific, as tribute
upon our national altar.
This certainly is a spectacle which has never
before been presented, unless it may have been
with the Plymouth colony, where single ship
load of men had, before they landed, constituted
government among themselves, which became the
mother Of all our republics. Such a spectacle
furnishes us with far opportunity of drawing an
analysis of European and American democracy,
and showing in what this difference consists, and
this we shall do in day or two.
