THIRrY-FOUHTH CONGRESS.

SATURDAY, August @
House. The House, after passing several
private bills, went into committee on the For
tication Appropriation bill. After the bill
had been amended, it was reported to the
House, with recommendation to strike out
the enacting clause, with view to its defeat.
Ihls was disagreed to by a vote of 60 against
50. After an Intellectual attempt to Law it en-
the table, the bill was passed.
The House then went into Committee of
the Whole, on the bill to defray the expenses
OF the legislative, executive, and judicial de-
partments OF the government. Mr. Herbert
made personal explation, saying that vari-
Gus charges had been made against him, from
both the Pacific and the Atlantic coast He
branded them as talsehoods, and declared that
not one OF his accusers could compare with
him in point Of purity, honor, and integrity
The charges, he said, came from political enc.
mics, and he considered them complimentary,

Eoe@5ng Ses8eon.-Mr. Lumpkin spoke of
the Republican party as being organized on
sectional principles, and said its success would
be the commencement of revolution. To the
rabld spirit OF anti-slavery, he said, might be
attributed the existing evils
Mr. Wade, while engaged in his avowed
object OF calling mems minds to better and
purer days OF the republic, said if the Consti-
tuition was to be used as an instrument to prop
agate human bondage, it could not endure nor
was 1t desirable that it should. 1t has not been
possible to construct Union on the sentiments
disclosed by the modern sham black Democ-
racy, who would substitute for the Constitu-
ton machine for slavery extension, without
limit of time or space.
Mr. Letcher characterized Mr.. Wade's
speech as the most ultra he had heard from
any quarter, and was inclined to think the
gentleman affection for the Union as strong
as the devil love for holy water. daughter.
lie, Wade) no longer ago than Tuesday last
voted for the fugitive slave law, as embodied
in Mr.. Dunn's bill.
Mr. Wade replied it was bitter pill, but
being driven into the corner by the sham De.
mocracy, who are engaged in an effort to en-
graft slavery upon Kanzas, he was willing they
should have the law until he could get a fail
lick at it. Laughter.

zas as reasonable.
Messrs. Walk, Petit, Pelton, Reade, Branch,
and Underwood, gave notice that they should
print their speeches, without consuming the
time of the committee in delivering them. Mr..
Rufin spoke OF Fremont as a mere ADVENTURE
and land grabber, and as the fit exponent Of
the Republican party He said that the con-
duct of the Republicans was revolutionary
and niquitous that Know Nothingsm was

We had hoped that the cloud of fogysm,
in which Harvard College was So long envel-
oped, had been in good degree dispelled,
and that the government Of the College was
prepared to some extent, to keep pace with
the progress of the age. But recent events
have somewhat shaken onr faith. We venture
to say, that,on no similar occasion, has so great
disappointment been felt, among the people,
as was experienced at not finding the name
of CHARLES SUMNER in the list of those who
received the degree of LII. D., at the Com
mencement. Mr.. Sumner by his talents, his
position, and his acq uiremenls, was eminent
ly entitled to the degree, and the College
would not only have been bonored by confer.
ring it, but would have regained some of the
popular favor which II has unfortunately lost.
On the other hand. YALE COLLEGE has
shown its usual tact and discrimination, by
doing that, which belonged by right no less
than by duty, to Harvard to perform, and
has thus shown just appreciation Of the no.
bic qualities Of our gifted statesman, and a
disposition to do meet honor to pre-. eminent
merit wherever found, and has thereby ad.
ded still more, to the popular feeling, which
already was strong in its favor We hope
that Harvard may feel the robuke, and hence.
forth learn wisdom from the lesson.

STOPPING THE WHEELS OF GOVERNMENT
The Republicans have voted cheerfully for the
supplies asked by the President for the sup
port of the army. But they have appended a
condition, that none of the money so appro-
priated shall be applied to the enforcement of
the bogus laws OF Kanzas, under which ty-
ranny has been carried on more cruel than
that of Russia or Austria laws which Gen.
Cass says are a disgrace to the age. The
friends Of the Administration voted against
the bill thus amended, and threaten in the
Senate that they will see the army dsbanded,
rather than to prohibit it from carrying out the
designs of slavery in the territories that if
the army cannot be employed for the forcible
propagation of slavery they will have no ar
my. The Republicans agree to all the supplies
necess airy for the legitimate support of the ar =
my; they refuse only TO grant supplies for put
ting down the people OF Kanzas, and sustaining
the imported rufianism which rules the terri :
tory. The Democrats say, that unless the ar
my can be supplied in this way, it shall not be
employed at all. The common sense of the
people will decide which party refuses the ne.
cessary supplies, and stops the wheels of the
overnment.-ProUidence Journal.

WEA1TH-Accordin TO Hunts "Iives OF
American Merchants" it was the maxim OF
Peter G. Brooks, "the whole value of wealth
consists in the personal independence it Sc.
cures" This is undoubtedly true so that the
man who can reduce his expenses given rate,
obtanshthe value of h-independence--
rs much as he who increases his income at the
same rate. DR.. Flanklin's maxim was there
fore correcl--"a penny saved is as good as a
penny earned. There are many families that
could reduce their expenditures $40 yesr,
which would be just as good as having a life
income Of $1,000 six per cent stocks, that
they may never obtain.

PETER FUNK.-A green Ma1ylander lately
bid off silver watch in New York, at the low
price of $25 While he was cougratulating
himself on his bargain venerable Peter Funk
came up, and telling him that he was Gin
spector of Watches volunteered to examine
it, and advised him to exchange it for gold
one at corresponding advance in price, which
the Marylander did, first paying his Official
friend three dollars for his services and found
that he had exchanged pewter for brass. The
police afforded him redress.
In another case, man bought ''fine gold
watch for $25, and acceeded to the sugges
ton that Peter should carefully wrap it np. so
that he might take it home without injury.
He did not open the package till he got home,
when he took out piece of brass Of the SIZE
OF watch, which Peter had substituted.
However, he did not probably loose much by
the exchange

ANOTHER CRUMB OF COMFORT FOR THE Blu
oHANlERs.-The Boston Post has letter from
Hayesville, Marion CO., kentucky, which says:-
:" think the majority for the Democratic tick
ct, here, will not be less than four thousand"
The'majority claimed by this correspondent, is
more than double the whole number Of voters in
the county Of all parties. In 1855 the entire vote
Of Marion county, Kentucky, was only 1915. It
can't be said that the Post does not do its best to
keep the unterrihed posted up upon the prospects
Of the BUCCANEERS.
