The galleries Of both houses were densely
crowded to-day; the proceedings throughout
producing intense interest.
House-Mr. Jones, Of Tennessee, oisred =
resolution that q committee be appointed
consisting Of two members of the House, and
one member of the Senate, to wait upon
James Buchanan and John g. Brsckinridge,
and inform then that they hass ben daily
elected President and Vice President n the
United States for four ysars from the 4th OF
March 1857. Mr.. Jones said that this reso-
luton WAS agreed upon by tcllers.
Mr.. Humphrey Marshall knew that these
gentlemen were elected, and was 90 much in
favor OF making that declaration ~ any gen.
tleman should be, but desired preliminary
business transacted agrecably to the forms OF
the constitution.
Yesterday the President II the Senate re.
received report from the tellcrs, that
the vote of Wisconsin was challenged BY
member Of the House rs the President de-
clared the result. He denied the correctness
OF that proceeding. The two Houses must in
convention concur in order to produce re-
suit, and adjust the question in controversy.
MIR. Jones, Of Tenn, merely pointed to the
fact that Wisconsin had not cast her electo-
rnl vote on the day designated BY law.

The storm was more severe Ut the East
than in this region. Troy On. ~ Is nearly
sabasrgsd. All trains are stopped, bust
nsss 10 stagnated, and the bridges are in dan
GER. At Albany on the 9th the Hudson was
three feet higher than ever known before
All the lower portion Of the city, As high up
- 0rant-street, was flooded. All the streets
between Broadway and the river were navi-
gable for boats. The canal warehouses on
the piers were stove in. Several hundred
head Of cattle were drowned. Three wreck ed
houses passed down the stream from some
where above, two men being on the roof Of
one. Hudson River and Central Railroads
sabnsrged. Passengers were landed in the
oatskirts Of the city. Twelve canal boats,
shrss barges and two tugs were sunk. The
propeller Western World fired up and was
swamped, taking down, it is thought, some
twelve persons. Fire was kindled by the dis.
aste.s, and Warren Sons building, Broad
way, Gibson 4 Dalton's planning mill, and
Barrett's warehouse, were all in flames at
once. Families from the flooded districts
were being gathered up in fiat boats. A
public meeting was called for the relief of
the sufferers, and the widest excitement pre-
vailed. The damage was estimated at two
millions Of dollars.

THE CousrY SEAT.-A writer in the Fort
Mad son Argus says that the question Of d..
vision OF the county was decided in the elec-
ton OF members of the constitutional Con-
vention, and favorably to division. By
next fall, or within a year from this date a,
least, this city Of keokuk will contain more
than half OF the voters of the county, and the
question Of division Of the county, or loca.
tion Of The county seat, will then be decided
BY the vote Of this city. Considering the
nature OF men, We should not think strange
II our people decided as selGshly a. others
have decided the same questions heretofore,
but in spite Of tina. inclination we shall coun-
Gel What appears to us strict equity towards
I'll parts Of the county. If, however, the
new constitution permits the popular vote to
decide upon the division Of counties OF the
dimensions Of this. we hardly think We shall
feel like advocating a division Of Old Lee
II has been we'll enough for others with it's
presopf dimensions. II is we'll enough for
ksokak % to remain.

the most reliable authority, that the shock Of
an earthquake was felt in Pendleton county,

had been formed in the mountains, within
two or three miles Of Circleville, in that
county, from which volumes of black smoke
are issuing, and large stones have been
thrown to q great height.

A CUNNING BABooN.--Many are the extra
ordinary anecdotes related Of the baboon.-
A petty Indian chief possessed . tame ha-
boon, which, in common with oil the monkey
race, entertained an intense dread Of snakes;
its master, from mere wantonness, forcibly
entwined dead snake round the baboon's
neck, when the animal sat motionless for up
wards Of an hour, supplied with fear, and,
on the snake being removed, stole timidly
into the hut Of the chief. After short time
the baboon was, according TO custom, called
on by its master to scratch his head, but al
though summoned several times in an angry
voice, it refused to move. The chief rose
and struck it with stick, and Immediately
the enraged and sggrievcd animal sprang
upon him; the neighbors, hearing the scuiie,
ran to see what was the matter, but could
distinguish nothing through the dust raised
in the interior Of the hut, except hot cinders
which we're kicked about in all directions
from the fireplace in the centre OF the hut.
The screams Of the Indian and the baboon
were intermingled, till at length the latter
dashed out through the by-standers, and co.
capped to some mountains. The chief had
been seriously bitten in the encounter, and
Was some weeks in recovering, but ultimate
ly regaining his strength, and bent upon re-
venge, secured the mountains in search OF
his antagonist. lie at last deserted his ba-
boon, which he could discern from any 9TH
er, peeping owe . crag, and leveled his gun
at him; but the animal instantly withdrew
his head and held forward one Of his COM
panions rs a target, instead Of himself,
loudly as in dctiance---so that the
man was compelled to return, foiled and dis
appointed.

church which worships at fremont Temple,
Boston. During the pendency Of the late
election he made several speeches for FIRE.
mont and Freedom. The Times, Of this
city, on Saturday evening last, had long ar
tiels stating that he had, on going to Cam
bridge, lately, to lecture, been guilty of i'm
proper intimacies with lady whom he took
with him, - il asserts was substantiated by
Witnesses that be returned to Boston, and,
the story coming after him, be left for the
South, to escape the disgrace Of exposure !;
and, II there is any point at ell to the article,
because MIR. Kslloch proved corrupt man,
therefore the Republican party was cor
rupt party, and opposition to the extension
Of Slavery was humbug. Now it SO hap
pens that Mr.. Kalloch, instead of going
South to avoid exposure, went only to Phila-
dolphin, to gil an appointment to lecture; that
he immediately returned that the story being
noissd abroad, it turns out that the lady who
went with him to Cambridge was friend Of
his wife, who went alone with him at her re-
qasst, she being too uuwel to 20, the arrange
ment having been previously made for all to
90; that the parties who propsga.ed the re-
ports from the hotel retract their statements
that IN investigation has been made by the
church, and the unanimous judgment is that
the whole thing is tissue Of falschoods.--

Mr.. kalloch is a deeply injured

ministry, and such is the verdict of the
"public." We shall see if the Times will
correct it, SANDERS upon the character of an

seem to be amply proved, and confess the
futility and puerility Of the logic founded
