HoUsK EseRAyISa.--The New York Tribune
Of amounts paid during last year by the Clerk of
the House of Representatives for engraving, ltho-
graphing, &C, the certificate Of the chairman Of
the Committee on Engraving authorizing the pay
ments, and of course the accounts undergoing no
other scrutiny than that OF this Committee. The
aggregate Of one years payments for this purpose
made out OF the contingent fund Of the House Of
Representative, and not by direct appropriation
sse,lIa 90.
We would inquire whether this amount was sc-
tually paid TO the engrsvers, or whether 20 per
cent was retained for the benefit Of any other
personsS

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
THURSDAY, May 8, 1856.

THURSDAY, May !, 1856.
After our report closed, the House passed the
bin granting upwards Of million and half Of
acres Of land to Iowa. to aid in the construction Of
railroads therein. Yeas Ts, nays 40.
Mr.. SMITH, of Alabama, from the Committee
on Elections, reported resolution that the par
ties to the New Mexico contested election be au-
thorized to appear before the House, either in
person or by counsel, to defend their respective
claims
Mr.. SMITH said the resolution was more espe-
cially designed for the sitting member, Mr. GALE
COS. who cannot speak English sufficiently well to
argue his case before the House.
Mr.. JONES, of Tennessee, moved that an inter-
prefer instead Of counsel be employed. He was
opposed to setting the dangerous precedent to let
counsel appear.
Mr.. SMITH, of Alabama, stated that the com.
mittee had decided against rr. Gallegos, the sit
ting member, and in favor Of Mr.. Otero the con-
testant, and showed the necessity of authorizing
the employment of counsel
After further debate, the subject was passed
over.
Mr.. GIDDNGs having returned to the hall, con-
cluded his remarks on the subject on which he
was engaged at the time he tainted.
The House then adjourned.

NEW TELEaRAPH LINE.-The New York papers
state that the new line Of telegraph between that
city and the South will be opened to the public in
the course of this month The three English ca
bles for the new line between New York and Phi
adelphis, we're laid down on Tuesday, the first, at
the Narrows, from point north of Fort Hamilton,
L. l., to point on the north side of Fort Rich
mond, Staten Island the second ut Hurl Gate, be-
tween the ferry slips; and the third at the Kills,
between the steamboat wharf at Bergen Point,
New Jersey, to Port Richmond, Staten Island
When this line is completed, direct communica-
tion Between New York, Astoria Williamsburg,
Brooklyn, Fort Hamilton, Staten Island, Jersey
City, Elizabethtown, Doylestown, Norristown, and
Philadelphia, win be established.
The line viii be worked under the Hughes's pat
ent generally believed to be superior to all Others
printing the messages in plain Roman letters and
capable of transmitting 5000 words hour over
one wire, or $500 words from each end at the
same moment. The public win thus be favored
with greatly-increased telegraphic facilities Mt a
large reduction from the present exorbitant rates
of tariff between Washington and New York. The
present season, it is said far exceeds all previous
years In the amount of business tran nsacted by the
various telegraph lines out of New York, and the
profits Of the companies correspondingly large
The net income of one Of the Southern lines, with
a psid-up cash capital Of less than 100000 has
reached as high as $4,000 per month 10 would
thus appear that there is an ample field for the
new line.--Boit. AmerScan

for the purpose of gaining all kinds of information
