Tho bill for the renewal Of the Patent for JETHRo
WooD 5 iron plow Yves the first thing in order this
morning The first speaker was Mr. HARLAN OF
fa. " no made an elaborate srgumentin favor OF the
bill MIR. BINGHAM of Mich. folio we'd In lengthy
spee oh, which he delivered la Fraafais, from the
Clerks deak-a plan not often resorted 70, bat
which should be done il the purpose be hearing
by oil tbs House; the very opposite Of which, by
the way, seems to have been the purpose OF the
architect to whom happened to be assigned the
arrangement Of the Hall.
Mr. BINGHAM had evidently prepared his remarks
after much research and great care. He gave
curious and highly important history of the plow,
tracing in turn many changes of form and it's pro
greas to she present highly improved ard efficient
arrangement Of this Implement agricultural art In
the course OF his statements to show the wrong OF
the tax upon iron plowg (25 cents each) designed
10 be imposed by the bill under consideration, he
estimated the number OF plows manufactured Ia
the United States annually, at two millions Tnese,
you see would give an aggregate taxation OF hall
million Of dollars
Mr. NELSON of N. Y. proposed an important
anne ndment to the bill, Of which send you the iol'
lowing copy:

After few words from Mr.. iLSoN in support
OF his amendment, and speech from Mr. VEEABLE,
Of N. g. on the same eide, Mr. JOHNSON OF Ark.
moved to commit the bill to the Committee of the
Whole on the State of the Union. Bat, on motion
of Nr. SYLVESTER of N. Y. it was laid on the table
by vote OF which was sufficiently tndica'
live OF what would have been the fats of the bill,
had ii been put to the trial of direct vote.
Daring the proceedings, the Misses WOOD,
daughters OF the late JETHRo WooD, the Pasentee
IN the premises, were in the gallery anxious apec-
tstors. Their presence excited good deal of gym
patty. They have been very industrious In cleo
tone ering with the Members of the Rouse all the
SESSION. think they asked too much of Congteau;
but, If the state OF the case be as represented by
the advocates of the bill, Wis that their father died
before he derived any considerable benefit from ha
Invention, it seems to mo there might be some
other mode adopted for their relief 1t would be
Ear better, certainly, to pass special act granting
them sum sufficient to make them comfortable
Tor life There would be no more improperly of
doing this than passing bills OF relief suoh as are
enacted every sesaion--nay, there ls much more
propriety In it, But their father unfortunately for
them, did not pass his life in Staying Mexicans
Indians. II hebad, then there would have been not
much, II any difficulty, about provision TO- then
The House having got rid OF this pillow bill, took
ap the "Bandleound" report; and Mr. SchencE,
being entitled to the floor, spoke in condemnation
Of Messrs. Richie and Sengsteok for declining TO
answer the questions Of the Committee. He cha
yseterised their courBe as contumaceons, and con-
tended for the right to compel them to dvulge all
they knew, as provided in the resolution OF MIR.
STAsLY.
Mr. MEADE Of Virginia, replied to Mr. scHEscK,
and broadly denied tho right OF she House TO arragu
the parties. To do SO, he cootended, would be to
get up regular Ipquisition, only befttng the Des
potic Governments of the old world In this
think he was fright,
Several gentlemen who have spoken on this
subject have shown themselves profoundly iguor-
ant of the relation between editors and their cor
respondents, and indeed of the principles OF law
regulating the liberty of the press Unless we are
prepared for the state of the press in France,
hope these inqu;sitora notions viii find no enoour
agement in Congress. The same remarks will
apply to the writings Of Government officers, out
OF Office hours. j, would be absurdly impudens as
we'll syrannioa, TO attempt 70 interfere with
them,
This subject, you perceive, 10 not yet disposed of.
Ar. DuKR made motion, designed to bring 1t
summarily to termination, by laying it on the
table but unfortunately, he withdrew 1t to
give Mr. SrANLy g chance to stir the OLE
ynents of strife little further. So suppose we
ahall have TO submit to some more OF auoh dsa'
areeable scenes as were enacted already by
Messrs EVANS OF Rid and FITCH Of Ind. when the
matter comes up again
