Congress.
In the Senate, yesterday, Mr.. CLAWS
compromise resolutions were debated by
Mr.. HALE. The Senate then took up the
Census bill, and, without coming to any
conclusion thereon, adjourned.
In the House Of Representatives., after
further debate, the proposition to print
5000 copies of a report in reference TO
Whitney's railroad was laid on the table;
after which The House resolved itself into
a Committee of the Whole, and resumed
the consideration Of bill supplying def
ciencies in the appropriations for the pre-
sent fiscal year. Mr.. BAYLY, the Chair
man of Ways and Means, moved that all
debate on this bill should cease to-day,
at two p. M; pending which motion the
House adjourned.

We are passing has had another good effect. 1t
has reduced to their true relative importance in
the scale of human greatness swarm Of petty
agitators, who have taken up and occupied, hith-
erto, the two extremes of the great dividing ques-
ton, and who have been pulled into temporary inn
portance by its agitation. To such, the probable
adjustment of the question upon any terms will
prove the knell Of their dissolution The return of
the nation to its senses will send these men back to
their fourcorner law-ofices and country stores, to
suit their customers, illuminate Justices courts
with their wisdom--plain individuals as they were
before "disunion'' and "dissolution" came to be
words of everyday use

Hoard M Accounts.

During the present session of Congress,
two bills have been introduced into the
Senate proposing to establish Board of
Commissioners, who shall hear and decide
such private claims against the Govern
ment as, failing to be satisfactorily adjust
ed at the departments, are now, by pc
tition, carried before Congress for relief.
Mr.. BRADBURY, of Maine, and Mr..
HUNTER, of Virginia, have respectively
submitted plans, which, differing in COM
paratively unimportant details, are sub
stantially the same in their objects, and
propose pretty much the same means of
carrying them into effect. The two bills
are, in fact, so identical in their essential
features, that persons approaching the i'm
portance of the reform may well be indif-
ferent as to which one carries. Either
will be Of great value to citizens who have
just claims, and to the Government in
cases Of different character Should
these gentlemen not defeat each other,
but so manage as to succeed with either
bill, then both will deserve credit for
granting, amid the stormy scenes in which
they are acting, little attention TO mat
tiers of real public interest and concern.
Than Congress, it is not easy to con-
ceive Of an umpirage less adapted to the
settlement Of claims and accounts. Two
hundred and thirty gentlemen in one
house, and sixty in the other, required to
concur by majorities in both branches
supposing them to be the most intelligent
and upright men in the country-must yet
obviously be as cumbrous and inconve-
nient tribunal for the adjudication Of
such subjects as could be devised. And
such has at all times, we believe, been the
opinion of those most experienced in pub
lie affairs, and, therefore, most competent
to Judge. If its whole time were given to
this particular duty it could not perform it,
as experience proves; and therein would
show itself to be so bad that nothing could
be worse, except body still more nu-
merous.
Various reports at different times have
been made in favor of some such measure.
The last one was made by the Chairman
of the Committee on Claims in the House
of Representatives--Mr. JOHN A. Rock
WELL, Of Connecticut-and is one evil
IDENTIFY prepared with great care and labor,
as well as with marked ability. II ex-
hibits an array Of facts, both in respect to
the practice of other governments and the
experience of our own, which leaves but
one side to the question and it concludes
with an earnest recommendation of bill
very much the same as those of Messrs.
BRADBURY and HUNTER.
Itappears, by this report, that, for the
ten years terminating with the close Of
the 18th Congress, there we're brought,
before the House of Representatives alone,
seventeen thousand FIVE hundred and
seventy three cases Of private claims
Of these, that eight thousand nine hun

RAINING FLESH AND BLooD.--A number of pa
pers contain accounts of shower Of fesh and blood
said to have taken place recently in North Caro-
lima We are inclined TO believe that this is no
thing but revival OF an old story, with q change
of time, and locality. Some ten or twelve years
ago, similar rain. of flesh and blood was alleged
to have taken place in Tennessee. The story went
the rounds of the papers at the time, gratfed the
lovers of the marvellous and called forth
ment and discussion from scientific men; but upon
close investigation, if we remember Alright, it
turned out that such thing had ever happened,
exceptin the imagination of negro man who
thought or dreamed that he something of the
kind

We purpose no rejoinder to the long
winded rigmarole in the Union, intended
as reply to our article on Mr.. BRAD
BURY's resolution. Nothing is accom-
plished by refutation of any of the ca
luminous statements Of that paper. 1t has
neither candor, manliness, nor frankness;
neither ability nor consistency. It's forte
lies in the fabrication of plausible false
hoods, and their persevering reiteration in
the face of decency, propriety, and the
most ample refutation. When baffled and
thwarted in one mode of attack upon the
Administration, it shuffles and prevari-
Gates for time, and then plants its pop
gun battery in a new position. There is
no holding it to point or topic until the
question is fairly discussed and disposed of.
Its habitual practice is to mistake the pre-
misses and pervert the arguments of its op-
ponents. Never, by accident or design, has
the Union met proposition or assertion Of
ours fairly or directly; and we despair of
bringing it to decent terms, or constrain-
ing il to adopt the course Of an honorable
opponent. But, in the column and half
which the Union devotes to our article,
there is distinct and positive averment
Of fact alleged to be within the editors
knowledge, upon which we take issue.
The statement is in these words:
"We know of the repeated appointment
Of Wings to the best Offices under the adj
ministration of Mr.. Polk"
Here is no qualifcation--no room for
evasion--no escape from conviction Of
wilful falsehood, if the fact is not estab-
lished. We traverse the averment, and
demand the proof.

II is gratifying circumstance, and one
of favorable augury, too, that in the midst
of all the discomfort and dissatisfaction
which prevails in different parts of the
country, aud while the disunionists are
boldly proclaiming their nefarious designs
to the world, public securities, State and
national, not only remain mistaken, but
are sought after with increasing avidity,
both in Great Britain and on the continent.
No more conclusive evidence could be de-
sired of the high estimation in which the
stability of our institutions is held on the
other side of the Atlantic. No thermome-
ter is so sensitive as the stock market,
and no men look more eagerly or accu-
rately at our condition and prospects, than
those who have pecuniary interest in
the fate of the republic. A shadow of
doubt as to the perpetuity Of the Union
would strike down American stocks in
every money market of Europe. That
they maintain their highest price in the
face of the irritating discussions in Con-
gress, and while fanatics are threatening a
rupture, is proof that whatever apprehen-
sions are entertained by timid persons
here, the keen and practised observers in
Europe, whose vision is sharpened by
perpetual solicitude for the safety of their
investments, discover no danger whatever
in the subsisting condition of things.

At the ward meetings held in. ST. Louis on the
9th instant, the test resolutions previously recon-
mended at the general meeting held at the Rotun-
da in that city were rcpudisted in the first and
sixth wards sustained in the second dispensed
with in the third, though tho Benton men were in
majority Of al 10 Is; and not entertained in the
fourth and fifth the two parties in the last being
about evenly divided.
The Wings have nominated the following ticket,
which will be supported with great unsnimity:
For Mayor, Luther NJ. Kennett; Recorder, James
Douehcrty; Auditor, Edward Tracy Register,
Sylvester v. Pspin; Marshal, James Fclps; City
Attorney, Kirk Anderson.
The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1850-03-21

and the evidence as it is presented in each
case.
If competent men be appointed, it must
prove to all parties, who are worthy OF
consideration, a most valuable reform;
and that such men will be appointed, is
just as likely and no more SO, at all times,
as that other appointments will be proper
ly made.
These officers will act under real re-
sponsibility; for quite as many checks as
necessary are proposed in either bill.
There must, therefore, be some stability
and uniformity in the principles on which
they will render their judgments.
Such is not at all the case now, and con-
sequently no man is ever satisfied until he
receives favorable decision.
The report to which we have referred
shows another fact of a very striking char
acter. Ours is the only government in
the world where the absurdity of referring
such matters to the legislative department
exists. Those who are accustomed to re-
gard liberty and progress as best secured
by such expedients as the experience of
all the world has condemned, may regard
this fact as an argument in favor of our
own system; but no man Of sound under
standing will take that view of the subject.
We express what we believe to be the
general wish of all men of all parties
who have considered this subject, that
some measure meeting the difficulties
of the case may be speedily passed, and
Congress forthwith relieved of the whole
subject as far as is possible. The relief
it will afford to the bureaus and to the
heads Of the Departments, in the matter
of continual and repeated applications for
rehearings, will also be most benefcially
felt in those Departments.
Any bill which starts the machine is,
in our judgment, desirable. It's practical
working alone will be able to show pre-
cisely the notifications to which its mere
details ought to be subjected; and when
these manifestations appear, nothing will
be easier than to improve it.

| SENATE, Hon, John Bell, of Tennessee, sub
itted plan for the settlement of the Slavery ques-
ton, which provides for the immediate admission of
California, and the erection (wlth tile consent of
TeSas) of Slave State out of that~po of the
Territory of Texas lying between the Trinity and
Colorado Rvers-the cesson TO the United States of
the unapproprated land south of a. and between
the Colorado and Rio GIande (said territory ulti-
matey to form Slave State,) and the cesson to the
United States of the jurisdiction over all the territory
of Texas lying north of "a.
MIR. Bell made few calm and dgnifed remarks
IN support OF his proposition, in the course of which
ne repudlated the Nashville Convention, and said he
was willing to trust the question cf Slavery in the
District of Columbia, and the apprehension of fusi-
tive Slaves, to the good, faith of Congress He
seemed to think the South would be likely to resist
any fragrant violation of their constitutional rights,
but he did not anticipate any such violation on the
part of the North Mr. Bells resolutions were or
dered to be printed.
Mr.. Butler asked that Mr.. Calhoun's views in re-
gard to Mr. Clay's compromise may be read to the
Senate on Monday.
The consideration of the California Message was
postponed till Monday.
MIR Walker of Wisconsin submitted an amend
ment to Mr. Clay's resolutions, recognizing more
distinctly the fact hat Slavery has been abolished in
the territory obtained from Mexico and can only be
introduced there by positive statute.
Mr. Rusk concluded his speech against the Will
mot Proviso.
In the House Mr. Doty's bill for the admission of
California was ordered to be printed by general con
sent. The House had up the Presidents California
Message in Committee of the Whole, and was ad-
dressed by Messrs Conrad of La. and Parker of Va.
MIR Conrad admitted that California was lustifable,
under the circumstances, in forming State Govern
ment and, as part of scheme for settling the Slave
question, he would vote for her admission but not
as an isolated proposition

yesterday morninggon Pine Island, Roxbury, having
apparently foated ashore. 1t has been asceraineI
that the deceased left his home early in tie month Of
December last, after avowng his intention to DESTROY
himself, since which time nothing had .been heard

body. The understandable rumor which nreyo;lad

from the finding ofthe above named body.
