BAD DoINGs IN New YoRK.--Thc city of New
York is represented as exhibiting sad state OF
disorder on the Sd and 4th instant. Drunken
ness, profanity, obscenity, and tumut, outraged
the Sabbath and dispraced the anniversary of our
national freedom.
One of the editors of the Commercial advertiser,
in obedience to an imperative summons, went on
board the steamer Thomas f. Hulse, on Sunday
morning, to Haverstraw 'sThe boat was crowded
very far beyond her capacity" he remarks. And
dearly will we yet pay for permitting this prac-
tice.) He proceeds:
'sThe bar on board the boat was kept open from
the moment OF starting to the end of the trip on
Sunday morning, and the same thing was done
ON the return trip in the afternoon; while on the
part of the passengers there was one continuous,
unceasng, eager struggle for liquor 1t was a
scene-that same Sabbath morn of profana-
tion--to make an angel weep; and yet it was far
outdone by that of the afternoon and evening.
Young men of respectable exterior were drunk
even before breakfast, and behaved there worse
than Doors and savages. The whole morning, up
to ii clock, when the boat arrived Mt Haver-
straw was q scene of riot and Generalization;
while on the return trip fights, drunken rudeness,
and coaseness, and the worst outgivings of maud
lin or rabd inebriation kept up continual dis
turbance. l,.-
"Mondav we spent in the city and suburbs
making observations. AT three O'Clock, in the
lower portion of the city and in some parts of
Brooklyn, gangs of youth, of very boys, were
prowling about the streets maddened with intoxi
cation; SO bent outrage in consequence of their
ntoxcation that it required some nerve to pass
by them, while probably to have evinced fear
would have been to provoke assault. we passed
up Broadway before dusk, and everywhere was
drunkenness, drunkenness, drunkenness, and that
too in its most riotous features. The amount OF
inebriation no types or words can depict 1t was
fearful"

CAPITOL ExTE NsIoN.
Mr.. BORLAND, from the committee appointed
on the sixth of August last, to investigate al
legged frauds in connexion with the construction
of the addition to the Capitol, made report there
on Two new Senator'S recently appointed on the
committee, he said, had not had time to examine
committing themselves. they had acquiesced in
the report to the extent that it be printed The
facts adduced were extraordinary in their charac-
ter; and he moved that the report, together with
the testimony, be printed.
Mr.. THOMPSON, of Kentucky, said that he and
the Senator from Florida (Mr. MoRToN) were not
originally on the committee. They had recently
been appointed. They had merely read the synop-
sis of the report; and without agreeing to or dis
senting from it, had consented to let it go out for
what it was worth. His understanding was, that
it would come before the Senate for future action
Mr. BORLAND remarked that the committee
did not recommend any particular action upon the
subject They only presented a development of
facts and the opinion of the committee leaving the
Senate to act as they may hereafter think proper
The report, together with the testimony, was or
dered to be printed.

The Monroe doctrine, as historically traced
by MIR. CLAYTON, is not SO exclusively Demo
cratic in its character and associations as its
noisy advocates of the present day would have
the country to believe. In party sense, in
fact, the doctrine is not and never has been
Democratic. 1t springs from Wing source,
its earliest and most consistent promoters were
Wing statesmen, and it encountered the bitter
and successful opposition of professed Demo-

ropean power we have not interfered and shall not
interfere. Dut Win the governments which nave

withheld by the Congress to whom it was ad-

from the people of that country the boundaries of
Laguinillas, and to state what he had thus learned
to the jury.

support OF the objection. Heopposed the admissi

what are the boundaries of LaguiniIlas by the tes

Rusk for Ell Paso, had not left for Fort Ora
ham at the last accounts. Mr.. Greedy of Bos-
ton has returned. The Southwestern ~.imerican
says Governor Paine Is SICK at Maco; his
recovery : doubtful. General Rusk was cX-
pcc'ed at Fort Graham in a day or two. Gen
cral Clark will 90 throughto Ell paso. Major
Nclghbors employed Jcm Shaw as a guide for
the expedition. Should an escort be needed,
1t will be furnished, free of expense, by Texas
citizens, and placed under the control of ON
pCtcnt men,"
Mr.. Greedy, who, with other gentlemen,
passed through our city on their way to FL
Paso, some time since, hls now returned. We
understand from him that the company pro-
ccedcl only to NJ Ico, having found thatIt was
Impossible for them to get back in the time
prescribed, if they proceeded the whole way.
lHoy, however,, fortunately obtained all the
information they wanted relative to the route,
from various aud perfectly rclllbie sources, and
are satisfied that the Ell Paso route has over
whclminT advantages over every other, for the
Pacific Railroad, and will report accordingly.
The man trunk OF the road they will propose,
will proceed from the Mississippi in nearly II

latitude of thIrty-two degrees, crossing Red
River near Shreveport"
