In SENATE, FRIDAY, June 90.

In SENATE, FRIDAY, June %.
On motion of Mr.. HALE, the Senate went into
Executive session for about five minutes. After
which communication was received from the War
Department, relative to the reconnaissance Of Col.
Whiting. u, .".
A communication was received from the Wash
ington Monument Society, inviting Senators to at
tend the celebration Of the 4th of July, upon which
no action was had ..n..".
After discussing private bill, without coming
to any conclusion, the Senate proceeded to con-
slider the Compromise bill. .s |...
Mr. DAVIS, Of Mississippi, concluded the
speech which he commenced yesterday against the
Compromise bill, and in favor of the Missouri
Compromise line, with the recognition of slavery
south of the line. He opposed the admission of
California and ridicued the idea of admitting such
a community, most of the people being transient
and not permanent residents.
Mr. SOULE made some remarks in explanation
of his former speech, and in reply to Mr. WEBSTER.
e also went into the question Of the necessity of
compact with California, to preserve the public
domain He made some remarks in favor of his
amendment, especially in relation to the necessity
Of having an ordinance or compact with Califor-
MIA, in relation to the sovereignty of the United
States over the public domain. He cited the en-
ample Of the ordinance of 1887, and the extension
of that ordinance in relation to the lands to Ten
nessee. The United States also made compact
with Alabama, in relation to the public domain.
So she did with Louisiana And so it was with
Iowa and Florida. He argued the same with re-
gard to the mines. s.. ...
Mr.. DOUGLAS denied that the precedents cited
by the Senator from Louisiana, were applicable at
all. No compact had been made with the Northwest
| ern Territory. The ordinance of 1887, was never
agreed to by Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan,
or Wisconsin. He denied that there had been
any compact with Tennessee. True, the ordi-
nance of 1887 in relation to the public lands was
extended to Tennessee. Butthepeople of Tennessee
never agreed to that. No compact had been made
with Louisiana, Iowa, or Florida. The Senator,
continued Mr.. DOUGLAS, proceeded under false
assumption. The Senator had assumed that the
ordinance of 1857 was compact. 1t was no such
thing.
The Senator's amendment was therefore in
tended to produce, inequality between California
and the other States.
Mr.. WEBSTER would be obliged to the Sena-
tor from Louisiana to state again his general pro
position. - a..
MIR. SoULE accordingly stated it.
Mr. WEBSTER would make a few remarks by
way of explanation of what he had previously
said. The real and substantial question was,
whether or not, the assent of, or compact with,
California was necessary to secure to tho United
States the public lands in California. The gen
tlemen from Louisiana held the affirmative of that
proposition. He held the negative, and IN dong
SO relied on the history Of the first State and that

Thrilling Incident.

One of those remarkable circumstances
which border upon the miraculous, occurred
in this city last Saturday evening. Our
townsman, Capt. G. Q. Tompkins, was re-
turning from the Steel Works, and in the
act Of crossing the bridge over Messrs. Hax-
all & Co.'S canal, when his horse, attached
to vehicle containing himself and three
little children, became frightened at hole in
the bridge, and instantly backed the carriage
until it was precipitated over the side of the
bridge, dragging after it the horse. Several
persons beheld with horror, without being
able to arrest the catastrophe. For mo-
ment, the carriage and its inmates were en-
tirely submerged-the horse plunged and
extricated acknowledgements of the carriage
rose to the surface, and in tie next moment
through the friendly aid of Messrs. Hun
ter, Lipscomb, and others, Capt. Temp
kins and his interesting little trio were res
cued from danger. Strange to relate, not
one of the party sustained serious injury,
though the vehicle was broken to atoms and
the horse severely ounded-Rich. Times.

Equality.

An Industrial Congress, as it is called, is
in session in New York, containing dele
cations from the several mechanic associa-
tions Of that city.
The object of this convention is to estab-
lish the rights Of labor, and the equality Of
men. But, in the very beginning, a STUN
bling block appears. They are discussing
already, at greatiength, the rights Of the re-
spective trades to representation. One par
ty is for giving to all trades an equal number
Of delegates. Another insists that they must
be represented according to the number of
their members respectively, thus giving the
more numerous orders the control of all.
Here is the difficulty. If the representa-
ton is according to numbers, the trades will
be unequal in power. If they are made
equal in power, the'men composing them will
be unequal in power.
We hope they are beginning to see the
fallacy and folly of the demagogues and fana-
tics who are spouting and scribbling con-
tinually for the absolute universal equality
of men.
