/ One Of the most important days works
that the members OF the House did for
| themselves during the recent session OF
Congress, was the establishing 90 the 5th
| inst. OF salsry for members of Congress
instead OF The per diem. Members Of Con-
gress should he well paid for their abors,
but we think a discrimination should b.
made between that member who is Away.

the session aud the one who upon every
frivolous excuse absents himself from the
Capitol We give the proceedings Of the
House on the 5th inst, emitting the yeas

As soon as the bill came up, Mr.. Orr, OF
South Carolina, Offered an amendment,
Which was sent 20 the Clerks desk to be
read. The House, that a moment before
was chaos worse COMPOUNDED, now became
as silent as the grave. Each member made
ear irunpets Of both hands and listened with
all his might The amendment, which !
hope to be able 10 procure before closing
this letter, increases the pay, over the
amount provided BY the Senate bill about
$500 t. each member ofCongress, making
The yearly sflsry shout So 1000.
A strong effort was made u have the
yeas and nays upon the adoption Of the
amendment, but for some reason or other

Fillmore and Donelson.

We have now heard through our exchanges
from all parts of the United States, upon the
nominations made at Philadelphia: and when
we say that no nominations were ever more
cheerfully acquiesced in-saVe that of Henry
Clay, in 1844-we say only the truth. We
do not mean to say that there is not oppugna-
ton in parts Of New England, and in parts of
Ohio, and silent oppugnation in Pennsylvania
but when it is reduced to choice between
Fillmore and some President Pierce, it will be
powerleSs-ifi it give away, or only attempt to
throw away votes ON some person that can
command no strength in the Electoral colleges.
The Seward opposition to Fillmore in New
York-for it is only Seward opposition, when
out of the Democratic ranks-will be of no
avail here We have met it twice, measured
swords with it, and whipped it, and can whip
it more and better, the next time.
The more these nominations are tested and
caucused the stronger they will grow. Fill
more is of the true stuff that will stand all
sorts of fire-and hence, the longer they are
before the people, the more popular they will
grow. The Claw" humbug Of the 18th of
June will explode, just as did the nomination.
The Pittsburg movement will dwindle down
by October, to Birney and Francis Adams
sham. Sensible men, in these trying times,
are not going to throw their votes away-or,
if in the opposition, help to reelect the present
administration, and all its Office holders with
it NJ 7. Express.

Explosion Of the New Steamer Metropolis
CAPT. E. c. HAzLETT KILLED.

We regret to record another terrible steam
boat accident. On Thursday morning last,
as the new sternwheeler steamer Metropolis,
bound from Pittsburgh to New Orleans, was
passing West Columbia, few miles below
Pomeroy, o., her starboard boiler bursted,
tearing away the floor of the hall directly
above, and instantly killing three persons, and
scalding five others so severely as to cause
their death in few hours Capt. Z. G. Haz-
lett entered the hall few seconds before the
accident occurred. He was picked up on the
lower deck near the capstan, and was SO badly
injured that he died in a short time. The
porter, white man, and resident of Lou S.
vile; passenger named Roberts, jeweller
from Pittsburgh, and Mr.. Geo. Barrett, bar
keeper, were in the wash-house, adjoining the
hail. The latter was slightly bruised on the
head. The other two died shortly afterwards.
A German and his son, passengers, rames un-
known-killed. A son of the Rev Mr. Brey-
ant, of Pittsburgh-killed. L. A North, Of
Galveston, Tex as-killed. Deck hand, name
I unknown-killcd. Two tiremen are missing,
and several other passengers slightly scalded.
The accident is attributed to defect in the
iron in the boiler. Two sheets in the centre
were torn to atoms. The boilers when tested
at Pittsburgh stood hydrostatic test of PIC
pounds, while she was only working 1lC
pounds when it exploded. The only damage
to the boat is the injury to the boiler and
tearing away portion of the floor of the hall
She will probably be towed down to-day, by thu
tow boat Condor The remains of Capt. Haz

olitian, another new boat (of which he wa
