standing on the aide platform Of an omnibus sleigh,
when another sleigh came along in an opposite Oh
rection, when they came in collision, and striking
Mr.. Spooner, threw him under the runners which
passed over his body. He was Immediately taken
into drug store near by, after which he was ia
ken to his residence, and at last accounts suf-
fering severely. Mr.. Spooner is well known, and
has been for long time connected with the Brook
Ign press.
A ruinor was quite current In New York on
Thursday last, that Parker II. French had been
arrested, but without any truth. A warrant how
ever, has been issued, and placed in the hanGs OF
the proper officer for his arrest.
Ii will be recollectod that the notorious Jim lr-
wing vas nominated for the Office Of Superintend-
ent Of Repairs to Public Buildings Of New York,
not long since. The matter was brought before
the Aldermen last week, and Mr.. Irving was re-
jeeted, he not being considered competent for the
Office. This Irving is one of the desperate gang,
and has been connected with many street quarres,
and was also engaged in the Poole tragedy.
William Chapman commenced a suit sometime
since against the New Haven Railroad for injuries
sustained by collision on the above road. The
trial terminated Thursday last and the jury return
ed verdict for the plaintiff for 30, 500 damages.
Physicians we're on the stand who gave evidence
that Mr.. Chapman would never fully recover, hay
ing been internally injured, so that the verdict Is
not extraviganty large under the circumstances.
We learn that several of the leading citizens Of
Boston have invited Hon. Henry w. billiard,
of Alabama to receive their hospitality during his
approaching visit to Boston to lecture in favor Of
slavery. The most of these invitations he will be
compelled to decline We are informed that he
will be the guest of Hon. Nathan Appleton and
Hon. Robert G. Winthrop during his stay in the
city. 1t is thought that he may be able to reach
Boston in time to deliver the next lecture before
the Mercantile Library Association this week We'd

at the fremont Temple on Thursday evening of
next week the 18th nrtant.

The New York House of Delegates has not
yet organized. The Americans offered to adopt
the plurality rule, but it was voted down. They
offered to give the Clerk to the Democracy, and
that was refused. The two wings Of the De-
mocracy have the power to organize, but will
not unite and effect an organization.

THIRTY-FOURTH CONGRE ss.
~. FIRST SESSION.
SENATE.

MoNrAY, January Ia, 1856.
Mr.. STEWART moved that when the Senate
adjourns, it adjourn over to Thursday.
Mr.. HUNTER thought that the Senate, to be
consistent should do no business until the House
organized therefore, r.
The Senate adjourned over to Thursday, after
session of eleven minutes.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
The journal being read
Mr. TRAFT0N rose and alluded to the state
ment of Mr.. CAMPBELL that there was no copy of
the Bible in the Congressional Library He re-
gretted that such statement was made public.
Mr.. CAMPBELL said that he made the state
ment on the authority of another member. But
he had found since that they were both mistaken.
copy of the Bible was contained in the Library
Of Congress.
Mr.. TRAFTON then stated that the Library
contained large number of copies OF the Bible
in several languages, among them Eliot's Indian
Bible, in which would be found very good Native
American platform.
A call of the House was then ordered, and the
ayes and noes taken. The call was negatived.
ballot was then taken for Speaker.
Mr. BRENTON stated thatin consequence of Mr..
BANKS having stated on Saturday that he was not
a candidate for Speaker, he shonld vote for Mr..
THURsToN until another caucus should be held to
nominate a candidate.
IT. L.,
marked that since he made his alluson to Mr..
CARUTHERs, and his comments on Mr.. FULLERs
position, Mr.. FULLER had defined his position 80
clearly that no Southern or National man ought to
withhold his vote for him. His colleague had seen
fit to vote for Mr.. RICHARDSON. He had voted for
Mr. FULLER; and, although he represented Dem
ocratic district he could not vote for the candidate
| of this administration. A
The policy of the administration was to drive the
whole of the opposition at the North into the arms
of sectionalism, in order to soldify themselves at
| the South.
! The policy of the Republican party also was to
drive the opposition at the South into the arms OF
the administration, in order to soidify themselves
| at the North.
| He paid high compliment to Messrs UPHAM
| and VALLEY, of Massachusetts,, members of the
last Congress, and asked why IT was that they
| were left at home, notwithstanding their opposi-
ton to the Nebraska BILL and new men sent here in
| their places. Was il not an evidence that the
masses at the North were opposed to the further
| agitation of the slavery question.
| He declared his repugnance to the principles
avowed by the Republican candidate, as well as
to the principles Of the administration He should
vote for HENRY M. FULLER. E

propretors of the st. Nicholas Hotel, New
York, gave their guests grand sleigh ride on
Wednesday last. About twenty five four-horse
sleighs started from the hotel at IL o'clock,
with about two hundred of the boarders, ladies
and gentlemen, and, after drive through the
principal streets in town, rode out to the High
Bridge, some twelve miles from the City Hall,
and returned to the hotel in time for dinner.
This is now feature in hotel life, and, should
sleighing continue any length of time, it will
no doubt become popular amusement with
the upper ten" in the Northern cities. We
can hardly expect such a custom will be intro
duced in this city very soon Our hotel-keepers
vie with each other in economy, and not in
show and extravaganza. They think bird
in the hand is worth two in the bush, and,
consequently, have no floating capital like the
St Nicholas, which is invested in seigh-riding,
but which pays better interest than the econ
omy of our hotel keepers.

correspondent writing from New York

A correspondent writing from New foTk
says: aa
As the cold weather continues, the sleighing
is excellent and in Broadway may be seen all kinds
and descriptions of sleighs from the Russian sedge
down to the carman's sled Collisions often take
place in the great rush, and occasionally capsze
occurs, but no serious accident has happened.
Mayor Wood was thrown out of sleigh, but re-
ceived no material injury. The city railroads are
all still blocked up, with no prospect of running
for some time. The Hudson River, Harlem, and
New Haven Railroads do not attempt to ruu their
cars below Thirtieth street.

HERKIMER coUKTY--InE DEMOCRATIC srRokGnoLD
10 the Editors Of the Atbany Atlas.
Democrats Convention for second district OF
this county met at Mohawk on Saturday last, and
appointed George b. Judd, ESQ, delegate to the
State Convention.
series of resolutions of the right stamp, and
expressive of the sentiments OF the Herkimer De-
mocracy, were unanimously adopted,
The resolutions condemn Known othingism and
the Prohibitory Liquor law; suggest the abolition
of our present post office system, and an amend
ment of our State constitution SO as more efiectu-
ally to suppress bribery at our electlons-recom-
mend the discontinuance of National Nominating
Conventions, for the reason that they nave iattef-
ly become corrupt and ceased TO represent any
body except few ofice-hoders and ofice-seekers.
The resolutions also recommend Thomas II. Ben
TON as AT eminenty fit candidate for the Presden-
CIV and heartily approve of the course pursued by
Hon. Francis E.Spinner, our representative IN Con-
gress.
The following is one of the resolves:
PesoIued That while we are in favor oil the
maintenance of all the compromises OF the constr
tuition and the reserved rights OF the States we
declare our unqualified hostility to the extension
of slavery into any free territory OF the United
States That the late invasion of Kansas Terrific
| nv by citizens of Missouri, with view TO promote
! the election of d pro-slavery Legislature, was
manifestation of nsolence the part OF the slave
ocratic power, and an outrage upon the rights OF
the bona tide settlers, which deserves the lndig-
nant rebuke of every honest citizen in the land,
and demands from the general government IN the
nterposition of all it's constitutional power to re-
dress past grievances and suppressfuture violence
that while we approve of the course pursued by
Franklin Pierce In conducting our foreign relations
and also the economy evinccd in administering the
| financial affairs of the government, we feel con
strained by sense of duty to condemn him Tor
giving his sanction to the Kansas-Nebraska bill
which involved the violation of a sacred compact
| and gross breach of faith on the part OF the
South, and opened anew the agitation OF the slave
ry question.
Three cheers for Old Bullion and the har.
monious Democracy" How is the Kansas
| Nebraska test nows The Irish Brigade in Con,
gress attempts to deceive the South with the
oft<repeated declaration that Democracy stands
'simmovably' upon the Kansas-Nebraska bill
and the Union breaches harmony. Beautiful
harmony, this!

To the Editors of the Albany Atlas!
We held our District Convention for the second
district of 0swego county on Saturday last We
elected as delegate to the Syracuse Convention,
DR.. B. Z. Bowen, of Mexico. The convention also
passed a resolution unanimously in favor OF Thos-
II. Benton, Of Missouri, for President, by the Gin
cinnat Convention. The convention did not sup
pose that the passing OF the resolution would make
great deal of difference with the Cincinnati Con-
vention, yet still they believed that If that conven-
ton would nominate Benton, or any other man
equally as honest and decided we could carry this
district next fall by majority that would put at
rest, at least for time all the isms and secret
socistions which of late have combined 10 defeat

MR.. BARKSDALE'S HETEROGENEOUS.
Mr.. Barksdale, of Mississippi, submitted the fol-
lowing interrogatories, stating that he expected
each candidate to answer them:
81. Are you now member of the American or
Known Nothing partyf
go. Are you in favor Of abolishing slavery in the
District of Columbia, and in the United States
dock yards &C.
as. Do you believe in the equality of the black
and white races In the United States, and do you
wish to promote that equality by legislation
"A. Are you in favor of the entire exclusion OF
adopted citizens and Roman Catholics from Office
GO. Do you favor the same modification of the
tariff now that you did at the last session of Con-
gress"
RESPONSE OF Mr.. RICHARDSON.
Mr.. Richardson then proceeded to answer the
interrogatories of the gentleman from Mississippi,
Mr.. Barksdale. He belonged to no American
or Know-Nothing party, nor no secret political or
ganization. He was opposed to the abolition of,
or interference with slavery in the District of Co
lumbis and he was also opposed to Congress in
lettering with it in the dock-yards, or any place
else. He believed that the Almighty had made
the negro inferior to the white man, and he thought
that they could not be placed on equality un-
less the white man was dragged down to level
with the other. In relation TO Catholics and for
eigners he old not care what mans religious
opinions might be. He would as soon support a
Catholic for Office as a member of any other de-
nomination provided he was qualified for the place
and his political sentiments corresponded with his
Mr.. Rs. own. He thought that the only safety
in government like ours was TO keep religion
out of politics. and that we should never carry our
religion 10 the polls or our politics TO church.
