SENATE.
Thursday, December 90, 1855.

THURSDAY, December 90, 1855.
Mr.. BRODHEAD, chairman Of the Committee
on Private Claims, reported the following resolu-
ton, as substitute for the resolution offered by
Mr.. JONES Of Tennessee, which was referred to his
committee:
Resolved That all private claims upon which no
adverse reports had been made during the last
session Of Congress, or which were pending before
the last session, and which claims are g founded
upon any regulation of an Executive Department,
or upon any contract expressed or implied on the
part OF the United States Government" and which
claimants choose to prosecute before The Court Of
Claims, be, and the same hereby, referred TO
the said court and the Secretary of the Senate be,
and he Is hereby, instructed to deliver all the pa
pers in such cases to the clerk of the said court.
Mr.. B. asked that the resolution might be con-
sidered Immediately. 1t would be seen that the
committee had embodied the words of the law es-
tablishing the Court Of Claims in the resolution,
and that the resolution only proposed to refer such
cases to them as they now had Jurisdiction over.
The object contemplated was to enable private
claimants to obtain their papers from the files of
the Senate in cases where the Court had jurisdic-
ton, without separate reference in each indvid-
ual case.
Mr.. HUNTER suggested that an addition to the
resolution be made, saying that the cases coming
before the jurisdiction of the committee, should be
such as the committee considered as having claim
upon the government &C., in order that the claim
ants might not suppose they had the right of de-
cison In that matter.
Mr. BR0DHEAD said that the resolution en-
bodied the words of the law, and thus fully estab-
lshed the right of decision on the part of the
court. Whereupon the resolution was agreed to-
Mr.. CASS moved that the protest of the Legis-
ature Of Illinois against the reception of Hon. LY-
MAN TRUMBuLL as Senator elect from that State be
referred to the COMMITTEES on Judiciary or spe-
cial committee as might be deemed most expedient
proofs Of his right to the seat he occupied, and II
was immaterial before what committee he pro-
duced them.
Mr.. BUTLER suggested that the matter be re-
ferred to special committee as like cases had been
so treated formerly, but Mr.. CAss's motion pre-
vailed, and the matter was referred to the Com
mttee on the Judiciary.

The Senate has postponed the election OF
printer till January. The Withdrawal Of For
ney from the Union is now understood by the
Senator'S It is the same game played by that
paper two years ago to secure the House print
ing. The editor Of the Union then gave a
pledge that if the House of Representatives
would elect him printer, he would not-perrnit
Forncy to have anything to do with the paper,
but violated the pledge Immediately after the
election. The same game is attempted to. be
again played.

The New York Times, which paper cannot be
accused of sympathizing with the American party,
THUS renders them no doubt deserved tribute Of
praise
'Ifthe Know Nothings do nothing better, they wi
receive the thanks of posterty for having at least
broken up the system of employing foreign and
native bullies In Our elections. For the last few
years the abandoned characters who live at the
bottom Of New York seem to have frghtfully in
creased. POOLS murder served to show people first
what numerous and terrible class OF worthless
men lay hidden there"

Municipal Expense.

We have several times alluded to the amount
Of revenue of some. of the Northern Cities
and the present condition of their finances
We copy from an exchange the following
showing the amount of tax per individual, in
the three cities mentioned:
Population. Amt of Tax. Tax per Head
Boston 10000 $2225000 $l3 90
New York. =. $4,000 100000 l2 90
Philadelphia. $4,000 2,7eoOoo 525
We have not the data to make an esti-
mate Of the tax per individual in this city, but
we fear the amount is not far below that of
Philadelphia, including the tax upon business
as well as property. Our "City Fathers |"
should learn a lesson by the experience of sis
ter cities and avoid unnecessary expenditure
No people will quietly submit to onerous
taxation, nor can any political party re-
tain political powey, if II increases the bur-
dens Of the people. The expenditure Of this
city has been less within the last two years
than for many previous years, and great credit
is due our present worthy Mayor, for the abili-
ty with which he has managed the affairs Of the
Corporation.

That beats upon his manly fern.

Since Mary gave her parting kiss;
But the sad tears which then she shed,

Around the light al home
The light at home how still anu sweet
