Congressional Documents.

The Washington correspondent OF northern
paper gives the following account of an enormous
abuse practsed by Congress:
Let me give YOU an idea Of the book system as
il has existed here for years Congress subscrlbes
for large numbers of valuable works scientific or
hstorical-and each member is entitled to his
share. The price is fixed. and the booksellers are
on the alert for trade. The reader might well
ask, if it is the duty of the people to pay the ex
pense of schooling their members? And why is 1t
that a member wants more than one copy If he is
destitute acknowledge? One wonld naturally sup
pose that the extra numbers were to be sent TO the
clerks offices of each county in the congressional
district, for public information. or to some lnstu-
ton of knowledge, whereby information might be
spread among the people.
Nots so. The member gets 100 copies of book
worth SO each. and the bookseller gives him $500
for his certificate in cash. If the people get copy
of the work. it will be by accident. Again, from
ten TO thirty thousand extra copies of document
are ordered "a fat job for the public printer and
after the volume reaches the document room, few
hundred copies may be fraaked by industrious
members. and the remainder go TO the messengers
or aborers. and are soon found in the hands of the
confectoners or grocers!
The ,phite paper upon which the interesting
document is printed. costs Ia cents per pound, and
after the printer gets his fat allowance, the sheets,
,rith The printing on, are sold for three cents per
pound! This is called enlightening the people!
And vet. almost every man who comes to Con-
qress. pledpes himself, al election time, to aid in
Reforming. the corruptions of the past How little
do men know of the nselves! How easily they
glide into the fashions of the times

The Public Lands.

The subject of the public lands is up again in
Congress, and Mr.. Bennett Of New York, the
Democratic champion of distribution, is urging
that policy with all his might. On Tuesday, the
Sd inst, he succeeded in having his bill referred
To the Committee of the House Of Representatives
on Public Lands We know not what it ind-
Gates exactly, but it seems little strange to find
the entire Virginia representation, with the ex-
eepton of Messrs. Bayly and Faulkner, voting
against motion to lay the bill on the table. We
can scarcely hope that 4 change has comeo'er the
spirit of these gentlemen's dream and that they
are now going for distributions but it is to be pre-
sumed that they are fof doing something in the
premises. 1t is certainly high time that some
policy on the subject were fixed upon. The old
States ara annually robbed of their rights in the
public lands, which are granted away in any
quantity to the new States, whose Democratic
representatives have constitutional scruples a
bout asking for them, while other Democratic
members are too stff-necked to demand an acre.
In common with all Wings, and respectable
number of Democrats in the Virginia Legislature,
we consider distribution among all the States as
the fairest mode ofdispoSing of the public domain
but if this plan cannot succeed let us have any
thing that will take it out of the hands of land
grabbers aud speculators.

How oar Neishbors Regard Us.

We have been aware for some time of the fact
that Staunton is looked upon by many of lis neigh
bors with an eye of suspicion, but we did not know
until recently that we were regarded as such des-
picable set as seems to be the case. A friend
who hasrecently returned home from a trip through
the counties west of us says, no man out there
ever leaves home for this place without first max
ing his will and directing his friends that in the
event of his not returning at given time they
must come straight to Staunton and search for him
The above will explain circumstance which &C.
CURED in our town the other day.
A traveller in a high state of excitement, hold
ing his Bride rein in his teeth and one of Coalt's
reviewers in each hand, and apparently apprehen
sive ofsome sudden danger, was seen cautiously
vending his way on horseback through one of our
principal streets. All were struck with so singu-
lar sight, and several hailed the traveller to en-
quire the cause OF his agitation and why he was
thusarmed. SIS this the town they call Staunton?'
asked the traveller He was informed that it
was. ALPS right than, was his reply, and with
out further explanation, put spurs to his iaded
steed and hurried from this Seldom of corruption.

NabrnsIka Territory.

There is some prospect that the slavery agita-
ton will be revived again in connection with the
organization of the new Territory of Nebraska
Mr.. Douglass, of the Senate, has reported back
the bill to organize the Territory, with sundry "a
mendments. 1t provides, among other things
that when admitted as State, the Territory, OF
any portion of it, if divided, shall be received into
the Union with or without slavery as its constitu-
ton may prescribe, and also that the Fugitive
Slave law shall be in full force in it. The aboli-
ton and lreesoil members will of course try tc
strike out these provisions and insert the Wilmot,
and thus test the 6nality of the Compromise OIL
1850.

Too True.

In the United States Senate, on Wednesday
last. Mr. Chase called up his resolution instruct
ing the Committee on Roads and Canals to in
quire into the expediency ola Railroad to the Pa
cifc Mr.. Gwin moved IN amendment to the
effect that so much of the Presidents Message as
relates to the subject be referred to select COM
mittee, which was finally agreed to. During
the debate, Mr.. Pratt, of Maryland, said that he
had read tue Message with great care and yet
was unable to understand what were the ideas of
the President as to the powers of the Government
on the subject If the committee could not give
the much desired information he said, perhaps his
friend before him (Gen. Cass) could enlighten
him. The General replied that he had enough
to do to find out what his own opinions were with
OFT seeking to ascertain the opinions of others
well said! but we supposed the General would
consider the matter too true to joke about.

The Ingrai,am Resolutions.

There was an interesting discussion in the low
er house of Congress on Thursday last, on the
subject Of the Ingraham resolutions. Considera-
bic diversity of opinion existed among the men,
bers as to the particular service for which Captain
Ingraham should be thanked. The Smith family
exhibited an utter want of unity of sentiment.
Our Smith (extra William) would vote for moth
ing that did not justify the Captains conduct upon
principle; Alabama Smith, who wanted to have
Kossuth tried for high treason, would vote against
everything; aud Garrett Smith, the noted Adolf
ZIONIST, went heartily for The resolutions because
they indicated Capt. Ingraham's conduct on the
score of humanity.

Death by Poison.

But few weeks since we published in our col
umns the marriage of Mr.. George Hggnboiham
to Miss Rebecca Gwnn, and it now becomes our
painful duty to record the BRIDES death by poison,
under such circumstances, as to create the susPi-
cion that he. who, at that time, took solemn vow
before high heaven to cherish and protect her, has
the guilt of taking her life resting upon his sou.
1t is not for us 10 say whether such suspicion is
i'll or well founded. We would not prejudice the
minds of the people against him in advance of his
trial before jury of his peers, in which his lnno-
cence or guilt will be made manifest. We hope
his trial will exhibit his innocence, and establish
the fact that such deed of darkness has not been
committed in Raleigh county. Theclrcumsances
which have given rise to the suspicion OF which
we have spoken, and consequently to his arrest
and confinement in prison, as related to us, are, in
brief, as follows:
On Monday the husband bought two ounces OF
Arsenic-os Tuesday. he gave his wife, and her
sister, each. lump Of white or loaf sugar-ln a
few minutes the vile became very sick, vomited,
and in short time, was corpse. She exhibit
ed every symptom Of being poisoned, and the ex,
, animation Of her stomach showed that /, contained
arsenic. Le,cisbtrg Chronicle.

The Clayton-Bulwer Treaty.

1t will be remembered that during the last ses-
sion of Congress, controversy arose In the Sen-
ale upon the true construction Of the Treaty with
Great Britain in regard to the occupation and pro-
tectora,e of Central America. That State paper
was drawn in language which admitted some
doubt of the intent Of the parties, and, although
the statesman Mr.. Clayton who subscribed IT Oh
behalf of the American Government, was perfectly
clear as to his own understanding, the claims o.
the British Government were based upon CON
struction totally different. The point in dispute
was this: Did England, in signing the treaty, a.
cree to Withdraw her protection from the Mosquito
Tribe, and renounce the right to acquire any more
terrtry in Central America? England contend.
ed that she had right TO continue her protection
and that the acquisition of the Bay Islands, ada,
cent to her territory of Honduras, was Incidental
to the title of the territory ITSELF and was In no re-
spect an evasion of the Treaty. To counterval
this INTERPRETATION, Mr. Clayton affirmed that there
had been a special understanding between himsel
and the British Minister, that the treaty should not
be so construed as to authorize either Of the acts
now complained Of.
The subject has been again brought up upon q
communication of the British Government, IT
which thew disclaim theinterpre'ation OF Mr.. Clay
ton. and present the opinion OF the Queens Attor-
new. that there can have been no REIMBURSEMENT
of British rights under proper legal construction
of the treaty. England, therefore, claims right
to hold her territory, with its island apanages, and
afirms RIGHT TO protect her anclentlly, the Mos
ouito monarch. In addition to the testimony here
tofore avouched by Mr. Clayton, he has added q
letter from Mr.. Reverdy Johnson, at the date o.
the Treaty, the Attorney General Of the United
States. This confirms the construction insisted
on by our Governmental Baltimore american.

1,onsuI Saunders.

II b,s Leen rumored that the President would
not send the nomination of Mr. George Saunders,
consul to London, to the Senate, on account ofhls
correspoudence with the New York Herald, in
which. over his own name, he promotes the cause
Of fllibusterism to the best of his ability. Some
months ago, we made the appointment of Saun-
ders count in brief indictment which we franz
ed AGAINST the Administration, and about which
the Richmond Enquirer took US to task But no
sooner does the Enquirer learn the report alluded
TO above than it discovers that Saunders ought
never to have been appointed, and Of course con-
ours in the propriety Of our censure.
1t is not certain, however, that Saunders Will
be recalled The Washington Star fancles that
all the fuss over the letters in the Herald Will not
have the effect of preventing the President from
sending his nomination to the Senate. ut seems
now to be taken for granted, "says the Star, THAT
his name was appended to them by the managers
of the Herald without his knowledge OF consent
The English government may, al any moment,
revoke his exequatur. If they choose so to DO

The Nsw york Controversy.

Mr.. Cutting, of New York, manifested deter
mina,on to take the bull by the horns, in the res
o,ution which he offered in the House of Repre-
sentatiyes last week. lie wished to call for the
Guthrie and Bronson correspondence, and was ioI
holding the President to his responsibility
without aiming indirect blows at him through the
Cabinet. 1t will be seen from our synopssof the
proceedings in another column, that the resolu-
tons were laid on the table, by vote of l04 &c
to Sc. Mr.. Bayly, of Virginia, and the two Stan
tons were the only Democrats not from New
York who voted in the negative. Several Of the
Virginia members were absent, or at least theil
votes do not appear

About IL o'clock on Thursday night. Trayel
