BegD The proceedings of Congress contain
but little of general interest. In the House,
HENRY NJ. FULLER has been making speech
defining his position, past and present, in which
he alludes to the sentiments once expressed by
Hon JAMES BUcHANAN and the Democratic
party of Pennsylvania i'll opposition to the en-
tension of Slavery Mr.. FULLER claims that
he has always been conservativc-and that
while he would not have voted for the repeal
of the Missouri Compromise he is equally hos
tile to its restoration. He is the best speci-
men Of dough-face to be found in Pcnnsylva-
MIA, and has grossly misrepresented the feelings
of his constituents

PHILADELPHIA MCNIcIPAL ELEcrIoS.-T
democratic ticket succeeded at the municipal
election in Philadelphia on Tuesday. The full
vote Of the city shows that Vaux, dem, for
mayor has majority of 4,O89 over Moore,
American, and majorities in 30 out of the "a
wards. The American party two years ago,
elected Mayor Conrad over Mr. Vaux by
majority of s,42S, and their City Treasurer,
last spring, by 422 but last fall their candi-
date for Sheriff was defeated by 1,171.
AT the election on Tuesday the democrats
also elected Stephen Taylor, City Controller !;
VIM A. Porter, City Solicitor Peter Arm
bruster, Receiver of Taxes, and J. NJ. Lcddy
City Commissioner.
The democrats have likewise majority in
both branches OF the City Council The Sc
lect Council stands, with those holding over,
10 democrats to 10 opposition, and the Com
mon Council stands SO democrats to p oppo-
sition. ..--...... r...r. g.. ...-
The election, Notwithstanding the excite
ment, passed off without any serious riot In
few of the wards there was some little dis
turbance, but the prompt interference Of the
police soon restored quiet. The Ledger, speak
ing Of the heavy vote, and the final result, re-
marks =
The usual party lines were held very loose
ly, and the victory won by the Democrats is
by no means to be regarded as an endorsement
of all the political views of that party, though
it will probably have a very favorable influence
upon it, in Strengthening its confidence and in
diShcartening and disorganizing its opponents,
the Americans. The change, however, affords
a very favorable opportunity to the party com
ing into power to recommend itself more large
ly to popular favor by pursuing line of poll
cy that will stop at once the leaks in the pub
lie treasury through a wasteful extravaganza.
If the successful party docs not accomplish the
reforms expected of it, another revolution may
be predicted about this time next year quite as
overwhelming as that of yesterday to the doni-
nant party

TIE SorND DCEs.-The scheme of capital
izing the annual amount of the Sound dues,
proposed by Denmark, has been rejected by
Great Britain, which in turn proposes that the
Sound dues be retained, but their amount
shall in future be levied in the Baltic ports, in
stead Of at EISinore. This it is said, the gov
ernments Of the Baltic States are opposed to.
The plan would require Danish agent to re-
side at every port and landing place in the
Baltic. and be armed there with sufficient ad-
miniStrativc powers by the local government
for the collection of the dues on any vessel en-
tering there and lamling her cargo. A strong
party in Prussia call for the abolition of the
Sound dues as prejudicial to the. commercial
interests of that country. They say that Den
mark never had any right to impose, and it is
full time to abolish them. This party has
been rapidly increasing ever since it was known
that England is also opposed to an indemnity
to Denmark, aud they now call ll.upon the gov
crnmcnt not to compromise itsel' by any offer
of indemnity The whole Institution Of the
Sound daes, they say, is about to topple to the
ground. The question seems TO be no nearer
a settlement, The l4th of June is the day
when the two mouths term allowed by the
government of the United States expires
ANY violent steps then taken by that, govern
ment, it is believed, viii ensure either the abo-
ltlon Of the Sound dues altogether or their
retention IN their present form.

4 FACT TO PoINT 4 MoRAL.-In Mr.. BLAIks
recent letter to the Republicans in the city of
New York, he states that Mr.. BUCHANAN re-
commended the deposit of the $500 of the
government moneys in SIMON CANERoN's Bank
for the purchase of the Globe for Mr.. Polk :;
and now the Umion, which was the fruit of that
purchase, is doing all it can to cut Mr. BrcHAN-
ANS throat.

4 PHYSIOLOGICAL CUMosITY-St Martin,
the man who has an opening into his stomach
produced by gun shot wound, is in New
York, and number of the physicians of that
city have been experimenting with the view
to ascertain the time required to digest food.
4 thermometer introduced into his stomach,
through the opening rose to l0l Fahrenheit.
The carrot, Dr. Bunting says, is consumed in
five to six hours Rare roast beef will thor
oughly digest in an hour and half Melted
butter will not digest at all, but float about in
the stomach Lobster is comparatively easy
of digestion. Upon tile application of the
gastric juice to piece Of purple tissue-paper,
the color at once faded In relation to the
patients health, DR.. Bunting observed that
It had been uniformly excellent, having, since
his recovery from the first effects of the wound,
supported large family by his daily labor
TheS3 experiments do not differ materially
from those made by DIR. Beaumont, twenty
years ago. Mr. ST. Martin s at present a
little upwards of fifty years Of age, Of a spare
frame but apparently capable of considerable
endurance He is in excellent bodily health,
and has much viYacity of manner. The open
ing in the stomach has had no injurious effect
upon his health, nor has it prevented him from
pursuing active and severe labors. If he does
not keep a compress to the aperture in drink
ing water or swallowing anything else, the
whole contents of the stomach will pass out
through that opening, Through this opening
comes out small part of the stomach, l. e.,
the inner coat, which shows its different APP
pearance-thick or swollen when under the
work of digestion, and thinner when the di-
gestion is over, st. Martin is on his way to
Europe. .-.-.

HARRIsGCRG, April la. l~jG
GENTLEMEN Your note of this date is be-
fore me. In his last annual report, NY inme
diate predecessor, Hon. c. A. BLACK, stated
that the addition of thirty thousand dollars
made last year 1854 to the usual amount ap
proprlated to common schools, was intended
for the pay of County Supcrintcndcuis, aithG
not so expressed in the act" When assum
cd the official head of the School Department
| found the appropriation for the school year
ending June 1888, made ont and entered Oh
the books Of the Department, in accordance
with the opinion thus expressed BY Mr.. Black
and partly paid. Guided by the precedent
thus set me; and regarding it, for obvOus rea
sons, as sound, the payments for that year
were continued as indicated, and the apprOpra-
ton for the present school year is now being
disbursed upon the same principle. lm VIII
thus see that the appropriation to the school
districts of the respective counties is not atiec'
ted by the salaries Of the County SupeFlnteR
