The Senatorship.

The right Of Judge Phelps to seat
in the Senate is yet undecided. On
Wednesday, Mr.. Stewards resolution, d.
recting the Judiciary Committee to in
vestigatc tho matter. was adopted The
resolution is as follows
Whereas, the Hon. SAMUEL S. PnELrs
was appointed by his Excellcncy the
Governor Of Vermont, in the recess of
the Legislature of that State to fill the
vacancy in the Senate of the United
States,which happened BY the deathof the
Hon. William Upham, Senator whose
term Of six years would have continued
till the 4th Of March, 1855 and
Whereas. it is understood that since
that temporary appointment was made,
the Legislature of Vermont has been
convened at their annual session, and Ina:
adjourned without filling such vacancy
Therefore,
RcsOired, That the Committee on the
Judiciary inquire whether the Hon
SAMUEL S. PnELrs is entitled to retar
his'seat in the Senate of the United
States.
A full report of the remarks made oil
the occasion,by Messrs. Foot, Badger. But
Ter and Seward, all of a friendly and com
plimcntary character to Judge Phelps
and of the remarks of the latter, clearly
setting forth the grounds on which hi
claim rests, we have marked for inser

The Duelist Minister.

When that notorious fillibustcr and
sccesslonist, Senator Soulc, was appoint
cd Minister to Spain, there was very
general feeling Of Indignation through.
out the country. The utter uuftness OF
the man. as shown by his past history,
to fill a position requiring prudence
GOODNESS, sound judgment, and gentle.
maEly demeanor, was in striking con-
trast to the importance, and, at this
time, the peculiar dclicacy of cur rcla.
tons with Spain.
Almost the first result of this appoint.
ment we hear: Soule's son is picking a
quarrel with Spanish nobleman-frst
insulting him, then sending challenge.
Next, the father himself, the repre-
sentative of this country at the court Of
Madrid, gets by the cars with Marquis
Turgot, the French Minister. and must
straightway show his courage and his
gentleman, breeding by personal en-.
counter, according to the " code of hon
or in which, unfortunately, neither
party was in the least degree hurt
Young Soule follows suit, and fights the
Duke of Alba-and again all are unhurt
We cannot hope that an Administra-
tion which could appoint such a man,
well knowing his anteccdents, will have
firmncss and discretion enough to recall
him-disgraccd as it and the country is
by his continuance in Office 1t is high
time for the people to frown indig-
nantly on the appointment Of rufians
and lawlcss, unprnciplcd dcmagogucs to
important trusts. This is but the be-
ginning of the Spanish Minister'S career
1t will certainly end in no good.

The Mosquito Colony.

A project is on foot, it is said. to es.
tablish a colony on the Mosquito coast,
(Honduras.) of citizens from the United
States. The movement has its origin
in the city of New York. A purchase
is reported to have been made of the
Mosquito King, which embraces three
hundred miles of the sea coast.
Whether the British government will
submit to this interference with the
protcctorate it has assumed over his
coppcr.colorcd majesty, or whether the
consent of that government to the
bargain has already been obtained. docs
not sufficiently appear.
We see it further stated that the dc
sign is to take slaves thither and to es
tablish another slave State. This may
be so and may not.

NEW YoEK,-The Legislature Of
New York was organized on Monday.
Gov. Seymour followed the example
Of some Of lis Democratic lrcdcccs-
sors, in saying the largest quantity Of
nothing which lie could crowd into his
message, The New York Commercial
says ofthat state paper;
"This document IS very unnecessar
lily long. Its points are lost in It's OK
ccssiyc vcrbiaec. Anything so tauto-
logical we have rarely seen in the form
Of an executive message. The early
history Of the state is recomtcd, The
most common place ideas and topics arc
itcrated to attenuation, the canal Qucs
ton is loaded with rcpetitions Of feeble
truisms, and the messages closes witt
tritc dissel tation on the federal Con
stitution and the duties Of sour poo
ple' to the respective states Of the I'm
ion."
The Albany Argus has an abstract
of the message, and states that among
the topics introduced are the anti rem,
difficulties, which arc represented as
in a train towards settlement under the
decisions of the courts. The increase
Of banking institutions is regarded as
indicative Of speculative mania.
which requires a check. The Coy.
errors objections to the admission Of
city stocks as security for bank issues
are renewed. \ modification Of the
restrictions against usurY is recon-
mcnded, as is the creation Of a COM
mission to investigate and report upon
encroachmcnts on the harbor of New
York. The adoption and submission
Of the proposed amendment OF the
Constitution, for the enlargement and
com, lction Of the canals, is recon-
mendod as compromise" Of con-
flicting yiews-in connection with an
appropriation for the immediate i'm
provement Of the Erie and Oswcgo ca
mails, and Of northern rivers as tributa
ry to the canal revenues. On the
subject of the Maine Law the Govern
or is not rerspicaous-thoush quite as
much so as on the Constitution Of the
United States, its guarantees, &c. On
both he tycads as if on eggs, and the
message closes with decided approval
OF the project of distributing the pub
lie lands Of the United States among
actual settlers.
In the Senate, Hugh j. Hastings
Of Albany was chosen Clerk, and in
the House, Robert Ii. Pruyn Of Albany
was made Speaker, and Richard L.
Sherman Of Oneida, Clerk. Mr. Pruyr
had 40 votes in the Wing caucus,
against 33 for Mr.. k!'lGjohn Of Os-
wego.

The Canada arrived last week with
Liverpool dates to the Oath ult.
The report of the entry of the
French and English fleets into the
Black Sea is confirmed. They were
accompanied by Turkish feet, and
their supposed destination was Scbas
torol. Three ships of each squadron
remained on guard at Constantinoplc.
The Car having frequently declared
that the entry of the Black Sea would
be considered by him as a declaration
Of war, on the part of England and
France, the withdrawal of the Russian
Ministers at London and Paris was
Immediately looked for.
The Diplomatists are as busy as
ever. The Paris journals publish what
purports to be a letter of Ambassadors
at Constantinoplc, calling on Turkey
to acquiesce in peaceful settlement
of difficulties, conveying the assurance
that Russia intends no infringement of
the sovereignty of Turkey, proposing
negotiations to be opened in the city
of a neutral country, and the establish
ment Of ali armistice and guarantee
ing the limits of the present Turkish
sovereignty. The Sultan's reply was
expected at Vienna on the Goth ult.
There have been several skirmishes
on the Danube. Kalafat, strongly
occupied and fortified by the Turks,
was attacked by the Russians, who
ware repulsed, with terrible carnage
on both sides.
On the 18th ult., two Russian steam.
ers, with gun boats, made an unsuc-
ccssful attack on Matschinc.
There is nothing really new from
Asia. The general tenor of advices
represents the operations of November
to have been unfavorabie to the Turks.
1t is said that Persia's declaration
of War against Turkey was procured
by direct promise of the Gar to
remit the Persian debt to Russia, and
to restore territory in dispute between
the two Governments. The Shah has
$4,000 troops at the Cars disposal.
Turkey has forbidden the cxpor,a-
ton of grain, but permits the compile
ton Of contracts.
In the English ministry, the Palm
erston vacancy is still open. There
has been very severe weather on the
Irish coast. At Wexford, the ship
Niagara, with $50 passengers, went
ashore. The cargo and passengers
were saved.
In Spain, Mr.. Soulc, the new A.
merican Minister, had distinguished
himself and his country, by getting up
a duel with Marquis Turgot, the
French Minister. Lord Howden, the
English Minister, acted as second tc
Marquis Turgot. Young Soule and
the Duke of Alba, who quarrclled at Q
ball because Soule's mother wore G
highnecked dress, had also fought a
duel. Happily all parties escape un-
hurt, saving then skins, but losing
credit with respectable folks.

DEAR REGISTER
Your readers have probably heard
of the riotous department of the inhab-
itants of the town of Erie, Pa, in conse.
quence Of the railroad operations in and
near that place. Following in the foot
steps Of Buffalo, Cleveland, Chicago, and
other important towns, an Indignation
meeting was called last evening by the
Cincnnatians. The meeting was fully
attended by large body of the chief
merchants of our city, aud a long string
of resolutions strongly condemnatory oil
the lawless conduct of the Eriaus, passed
unanimously. 1t is, perhaps, not sur.
prising under the circumstances, that the
inhabitants of Erie especially the deprav
ed and ignorant ones, should have been
excited to deeds of outrage, at the
change of guage, by which all trains
would have passed directly through the
town, when by the contract the road was
to have a terminus there, and thus build
up the town but it is surprising that in
this land of law, where every dispute
can be adjusted pcaceably at the proper
legal tribunal, u disgraceful mob should
have full control of town for months
and involve in its before unheard.of pro.
ceedings, the citizens Of whole com
munity.
The railroad through this town is the
most important ,horoughfarc connecting
the east and the west. The whole north.
ern part Of the valley of the Ohio, Mis-
sissippi, and the great Lakes is directly
and largely interested in having this
means Of communication rapid and ef-
