THIRTY-FOURTH CONGRESS.
FIRST SESSION
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 20, 1855.
SENATE.

Mr. BROWN introduced number of petitions
and memorials from the District In handing
in memorial from the Metropolitan Railroad he
protested against the encroachments made on the
public property by various companies. The rail-
road crossing Pennsylvania avenue, he said, had
heen laid down in contempt of the authority OF
Congress, and still further encroachments he un-
derstood had been contemplated
Mr.. MASON, of Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions, reported resolution, asking that 10000
copies of the map (prepared by the Coast Survey
Office, of South America be printed, and that 200
copies be printed for the use of the Department OF
State.
Mr. MASON stated that he had found that the
maps could be Autographed in the Coast Survey
office at the price of 10 cents piece, if 10000
were printed, and that they would be gotten up in
the best style Of the art.
| The resolution was then adopted, and the print
ing of 10,200 copies of the map ordered.
Many memorials and petitions were submitted
and referred.
Mr. WELLER, from the Committee on Military
Affairs reported several bills Of private nature.
Mr.. WELLER moved that the rules of the SEN
ate be amended as to authorize the President to
call on the Senate in order Of the States alphabet
cally, so to prevent much of the usual disorder
In presenting petitions and resolutions.
Mr.. MASON thought the Senate was SO few
and so sage that rules for every action was not
necessary.
Mr.. BUTLER thought, if this amendment was
adopted, the Presiding Officer would be less EN-.
barrassed and better order would be preserved
during the morning hour
Mr.. THOMPSON, of Kentucky, hoped Mr.. We'll
LER would amend his amendment to so read
that when only part of the list called on one
morning, that on the next day the President COM
mence where he left off the day before, and 80 on,
until the list is completed.
Mr.. BIGLER should vote against the amend
ment as he believed that it would rather aggravate
than ameliorate the condition Of things during the
morning hour.
The ayes and noes were called for, and resulted
in the rejection of the amendment, by vote of g
to 18. t
Mr.. CRITTENDEN called up the question as to
the validity of Judge TRUMBULL's election to the
Senate. ..s
The chairman Of the Committee on the Judici
airy said more time was needed before the could de-
eide on the subject, clauses in several Of the
State constitutions were involved in the issue.
The matter was under discussion when our re-
port closed, at which time Mr. TRUMBULL was urg
ing the committee to report at as early day a:
possible.

Foreipnism.

A correspondent from Buffalo writes as
follows:
"There have been several cases of stabbing,
cutting and slashing, oflate and am sorry TO say,
In every instance they have been confined to for
cigners. The query in my mind is, how all this
happens where nearly every police officer in the
ridden, foreign-controlled, Godforsaken, city.
Over one-hsf the population are foreigners, con-
sequently we are foreIgn-controled; and wher-
ever foreigners control the people ara priest
ridden and wherever the Roman Catholic priest
carries sway, there you win find God has forsaken
his people. This is a lamcntable state of things
but IL Ia too true .

The Northern Mail.

Senator Foster introduced into the Senate
yesterday resolution of inquiry as to the fire,
quent failure of the Northern mail. We ap-
prehend the Senator will not get the correct
answer to this inquiry, because the Postmas-
ter General is rather too shrewd Jesuit to
tell tales out of school He has converted the
Post Office Department into Jesuit inquisi-
tion, and will not permit any one to be en-
ployed about him, so far as he can avoid it,
who is not willing tool to his Jesuitical
schemes and demagogueical propensities; and
while he believes in the power of His Holiness
to forgive sins and absolve one from crime, il
is not very probable the truth will come out
