The Neao York Senate.

This body is likely to become notorious. A
few weeks ago, its geant-at-Arms wasdetec-
ted in most disgracefu system of swinding
with which at least three Senators were implica-
ted An important BILL authorizing the anticipa-
patton of the canal revenue for four years, in Or
der to prosecute the enlargement of the Erie ca
nal, was passed by the House of Assembly. In
the Senate, the Democratic members almost unan-
imously opposed it. 1t passed its third rea ling
there on Wednesday, but its opponents threatened
to withdraw from their seats rather than suffer it
to become a law, the constitution requiring every
appropriation bill to be passed by quorum con-
sisting of three-ffihs of all the members. On
Thursday morning, only three Democrats, Messrs.
Mann, Brandreth and Carroll, were in their seats,
making with II Wings, 20 members, the con-
stitutional quorum. Mr.. Mann moved to postpone
the BILL but the motion failed, 4 to Is. Mr. Mann
thereupon presented the resignation of himself
and ten other Democratic Senators. After re-
cess, the Senate met again, present, Messrs
Brandreth, Carroll and Crook, Democrats.
On Friday the Senate resumed its session with quo
rum. Mr.. Carroll moved to lay the Canal bill on the
ooio, 81 % W pass was REJECT
ed. A despatch says:
MIR. Babcock then offered preamble, dec aring tina
In consequence of the resignation aud absence of
large number OF Senator's the Senate could not transact
its legislative duties and offered resolutions requesting
the Governor to call extra session of the Legsla
ture, and also to adjourn sine die.
The resolution was adopted, and transmitted to the
Assembly. committee was appointed 10 wait on the
Governor and inform him that the Senate was ready
to adjourn The resolution passed in the House,

informing him that the House was ready to adjourn,
and inquirng whether he had any further communica-
ton to make. 10 both committees the Governor re-
piled that he had no further communication to Make
Both houses then adjourned sine die.
One hundred guns fired this afternoon in front of
the CAPITOL by the democrats rejoicing over the de-
feat OF the Canal bill. They are in high spirits, and
many Of their distinguished leaders from several parts
OF the State are here.
A mass meeting of the democrats will be held at the
capitol Tomorrow evening, to start public and party
opinion upon the question OF the Canal bill. The speak,

CITRA

The developments which have teen made with
n short time past, leave no room to doubt that
1.-THE country is about to be again disgraced by a
new expedition against Cuba, made up of citi-
zens of the United States. The point of gene
raj rendezvous is said to be on the Florida
coast. The Courier, printed at Rome, in Geor.
gia, says
"For the last few days there have been rumors
afoat in our city of another expedition agains st
Cuba, and quite number of young men from
Rome and its vicinity have left, it is supposed, to
Join in this rather delicate and hazardous enter
prise. tbs also rumoured that this new move
ment ia sanctioned, if not prompted, by men ofin-
fuence and official standing in Georgia and other
Southern States. We understand the expe-
dition is to sail from Savannah on Saturday next,
april 49,"
Letters from Alabama state that another party
is 10 embark at Mobile.
In the meantime, the National Executive is not
idle. Orders have been issued to the command
ants of the naval forces to be on the alert, and the
most decided measures will be taken to arrest the
parties and break up the expedition. A letter
from Washington says
"The administration is on the alert to suppress
the expedition against Cuba. With the new ex-
pe dition there will he but little popular sympathy,
as it will be understood to be pratcal rather than
patriotic"
1.-THE Government will not be bound, a second
time, to intercede for these adventures, when
they shall be again caught, nor will the Spanish
authorities be expected 10 exercise any clemency
towards them"
The authorities of Cuba are fully acquainted
responding preparations for its reception both by
land and sea.

MR., DoNELsoN ON THE coMpRoMlsE,
We insect to-day on the first page, that part of
Mr.. Donelsons inaugural to the readers of the
Union which, relates to the sectional question:
1t will be seen that he proposes to throw the in
iuence of the central organ of the Democratic
party in support of the Compromise. In this he
follows the example of his predecessor, and fur
nlshes useful authority to condemn the past and
present course of Messrs. Mason, Hunter, Sed-
don, Bocock, Averett &C.

The Fredericksburg News mentions Messrs Bolts,
Randolph and Souhall, as members of the Convention
who supposed to be willing to surrender the Mixed
Basis There is no doubt as to Mr. Bolts, for he has
publicly announced his purpose of offering compro-
mise Mr. Randolph is believed to be for the White
Basis in the abstract; but, in that respect like good
Jeersonan Democrat he is palsied by the will of his
constituents" and thus far acts with the Mixed Basis
party. Mr. Southa is true as any man in the Con
venton, and we surprised that suspicion of waver-
ing has fallen upon him in any quarter

INTRODUCTION

On the 18th day OF May 1885 DR.. Brandreth for the

bTated Brandreth Vegetable Universal Pills. He left
them to stand all by their merits. He made no

IMPROVEMENT or TIE FEDERAL CrrY.--1he
Washington correspondent of the Charleston Cou-
rer thus alludes to the improvements going for
ward at present in the city of Washington:
81 understand that cathedral, the largest and
most magnificent in the Union, is to be erected in
this city by the Catholic church. The site is Sc
lected and very large sum already raised for
the object There are two large hotels and a
theatre about to be commenced here. The work
on the monument, the enlargement of the Capt.
tai, the improvement of thepublic grounds, the
patent office, the grading and pavingof streets and
the erection of numerous private dwellings of a
good class, all seem to give assurancesof the in
creasing prosperity of this city, and of confidence
felt in its perpetuy the seat of the central gov
eminent
"Of the large sums disbursed here by the gene
raj government, some considerable portion will
necessarily be invested in continued improvements
which will in time, render this city attractive
and agreeable as a residence 1t is very true,
however, that the scene could be very easily
changed by the removal of the seat of govern
ment, which can be any time done by bare ma
Jorlty. Ii the Western land interest, ane Wes-
tern river and lake harbor Improvement interest
should form united phalanx and demand not the
possession ofthe lands, but the benefits of proper
public expenditure, who knows that they may not
contrive toconvey the seat of Government acros
the mountains? Here, the government is subjec-
ted TO Atlantic influences, while there it would be
surrounded with Western Influences"

PANAMA RAILRoAD.-A letter from John L.
Stephens, Esq, President of the Panama Railroad
Company, published in the New York Journal
of Commerce, gives an encouraging account of
the progress of the road across the Ishmus. 1t
appears that there are not less than nine hundred
men now at work upon the road and that there
is prospect of completingit from Navy Bay to
Gorgona, rs miles, by the first of July next
When this is done the distance between the two
oceans can be accomplished in one day. More
over the dangers and tolls of Chagres river will
be entirely avoided. For several miles from the
Atlantic depot, the rails are already laid. This
depot is situated on Manzanila Island, in Navy
Bay, which is connected with the mainland by a
causeway built for the purpose. The cars will
receive passengers and freight directly from the
wharf, to which vessels drawing 20 feet of water
will soon be able to come up. On the whole,
the Company's works are moving forward with
great efficiency and success. 1t will be an era in
the annals of travel, when the sthmus can be ira
versed with comparative ease and comfort in one
day. The distance from Gorgona to Panama is
20 miles. At present there is but little sckness
among the workmen.

the revolutionists set ofmjseabe and mercenary

The Governor states that whatever action the State
may choose to take in the present position of affairs,

atute that since 1t has resolved upon resistance, and
ordered the State TO be armed for the emergency when

The Governor further adds that, under the Wanted
Fugitive Slave Law, IL costs the owner, in some in
stances, over four times the value OF the slave reoov
cred, and in others ii has cost the owner his life.

ism OF the people TO resist the attempt and
coerce them by troops stationed along the coast and
audes to he guns of Castle PlnclSney and Fort Moul
rIe irowning on the city Of Charleston.
The Governor concludes with the remark that the

State, and union of energies against tbs common
enemy of their institutions.
