WAsHINqToN. October 10th. 18

WARRINGTON, October 10th, 1855.
DEAR SIR A little discrepancy occurred in your
article last evening respecting the name of Gilmore
of Baltimore, which perhaps may require correction.
The Gilmore alluded to q nephew of the Gilmore
the owner of the Gilmore House Baltimore-appa-
renty abort ~ 30 years of age. My sons hearing
being rather imperfect may account for the error.
Nevertheless we have an abundance of testimony
from other respectable citizens of Baltimore who saw
the brutal murder from the windows in the vicinity
as well as IN the street
Ny sons name has been msspelt on several occa-
siops, which perhaps may require correction. His
name was Nathan Hale Throop---named after Capt.
Nathan Hale, of tho continental army Ia graduate Of
Yale College, who was selected by Washington to
gain information from the enemys camp in the vcin-
ity Of New York but unfortunately detected and
executed by the enemy and not allowed to read q
chapter in the Bible before his execution. His last
words that he regretted he had but one life to
lose for his country" This much for the edifcation
Of the author of that infamous TRADE in that infamous
sheet called the "Star"
This hyena Of the Star shall never glike over one
he never dared to face whilst living
Col. benjamin Throop, Of the continental army,
was an officer under Montgomery, at the sortie on
Quebec, during the Revolutionary war and a lineal
descendant of Baron Scroop ono Of the riQcdes who
signed the death warrant OF Charles the First King
Of Englaud-on the mothers side one of the Pill
grims.
Pardon me for having written this much but nj
this time-2 O'Clock in the morning. am in a state
Of mind and feeling bordering on insanity
Most respectfully, yeurs

tied to the audience, and registered by the Commits
sioners the prize being placed against the number

For example, if the number drawing the $4,000

SPIRIT ~ THH MORNING PRESS.

The Union discusses the revolutionary
character of the movement of the sixty EIGHT
Republicans of the House who prevented the
adoption of the Senate's resolution to extend
the session two hours, which act it deprecates
and denounces in severe terms.
Thes Inteliigencer, continuing its comments
on the closing events in the House hall, says
notwithstanding the close applicauon OF
both Houses of Congress to business uu5'ns 'he
last days and nights of the session, aided and
facilitated in its dispatch as they were by the
eneroetic and able President of the Senate and
the promnt action of the Spes ker of the House,
so much time was consumed by committees OF
conference on the disagTeements of the two
Houses that many bills were lost, even after
thew had passed through all the stages of leg
islation, merely for the want Of few minutes
for their signature. On a visit to the Caritol
Yesterday we found on the clerks table no
fewer than sixteen enrolled bills, which had
received the signatures of both of the presiding
officers, but, for want of time before the expi-
ration of the hour for closing the session, did
not receive the signature of the President of
the United States; and there were mine other
bills which had passed and been enrolled, but
not in time to be signed by the presiding Off
GERS of the two Houses. These bills will doubt
less become laws at the next regular session,
if they do not at the approaching extra one
but the delay in either case is a grievance,
and may in some cases prove ruinOus to those
for whose just claims they were intended to
provide.
1.-The lesson which Congress should draw
from the loss of these bills is the improperly
of fixing on an hour for closing session q
day for adjournment is sufficiently definite;
the precise hour should be left to be decided
by the demands of the public business. The
privilege which the Constitution gives to a
fifth Of the members present to demand the
yeas and nays on any question places 1t in the
power of that small number in the House of
Representatives to consume on any occasion
just half an hour of its time so that if il be
perceived, half an hour before the expiration
Of the hour for closing the session, that short
extension of time is ever so necessary for the
completion Of the public business, it is in the
power of one-ffth Of the members to defeat the
attempt by demanding the yeas and nays
This fact. added to the recent experience, will
show 10 Congress, We think, the impolicy of
appointing the hour as we'll as the day for
closing a session
