We LEARN from the Bulletin that Brant
Seguine, ex-Marshal of San Francisco, and
Geo. W. Philips have been arrested on
charge of an, attempt to commit highway
robbery upon Laughlin Garrigan. The diff
Guilty occurred in June last, near the ive-
mile house, but Garrigan says he did not
know what redress he had until lately, and
therefore no did not prosecute before. When
Segune was arrested, he asked what the
charge was. The officer mentioned the name
Of Garrigan. 'Oh,' says Seguine, that's the
Irishman that | corraled, suppose Gar
rigvn AYERS that Seguine put his horse in
the hands of Philips, and with loaded whip
stopped him and demanded his money. The
defendant laughs about the charge, and on
the examination it is probable that some"
thing will be shown, and the whole affair
turn out to be ludicrous

COl. AltlS diiO O"P POsih +@l'NAA>-A
Among the Free Sta.e prisoners, whr es
capped from The border Rufflu jaiIs, in Kan,
sac, was Cap,ain Mtchell of Topeka. He
was lawiessly arrested by mob, in Weston
Mo. and was carried ~ the city OF Learen
worth, where he was kept by the rufiian;
tor two weeks, and was finally srnt to the
prison at Lecomptoa, where he was thrust
amongst the other prisoners. Up TO thai
time there was no writ, nor anything on rec
ord against him. Il there is Row, he has
never seen nor heard OF it. have just seen
him. His hands are horribly bruised and
cut by the cruel treatment he received while
in prison. About week ago, Col. Titus
and his militia, Tor some reason or other,
undertook to count the prisoners. For this
purpose they were formed in line. While
forming the line Col. Titus turned to Mitch
ell and said
Captain, TALL into line
Il did not know replied Mitchell, that
there were any captains among Us prisoners.
On this, Titus rudeiy seized him by the
-coiiar aad dragged him into line, the attend
ant guards, with mllskets. bayonets, and sa-
bres, being there to sustain him. Captain
Mi,chellwss indignant and Col. Titus knows
mis- opinion of HIM. Enraged, Titus under
touk TO infiict personal chastisement on the
prisoner, when Mitchell seized him by the
bead, and the heroic Fluridau was rapidly
getting the worst OF it when the guard in
terfered. Col. Titus Immediately ordered
the prisoner to be bound, when MS hands
were tied behind him with the cruel, cutting
cords that have So bruised and manglel them.
Thus secured the g.,liant Titus approached
him O strike him, when Mr. damplon, who
had charge of the cunvcts, and who app ar
Ell to have ratu.r more IN nhood, int riered, &,
nd. stepping Detween them. told Titus thai
he must not strike that man. Thus pre-
vented, Col. Titus vented his spleen agalrit
the Bound prisoner in abuse, calling him ali
the opprobiuus names his fancy could sus-
gesi, and threatening 10 gag, whip aud shoot
him.
Sol. Titus said the calm and heroic free
State prisoner, you lay Tie me and whip
me, or kill me, for | um your prisoner: but
YOU cannot make me beg as ?itHully Tor
mercy as you md in Lawrence.'
Incensed at this, Titus ordered the priSo-
ner to be gagged and thus brGlally and
shamcluIly bound and gagged, the Captain
was kept for thirteen hours.

Special Despatch N the N. Y. Tribune.
WAsBINGroy, Dec. 80, 1855


WAsHINGTos, Dec. 80, 1855.
A party Of South CsroIinians from Kan
sas passed through here to-day, returning
home, having abandoned that Territory as
presenting no hopes to their political enter
prise or personal fortunes. They and 9TH
ers from the South relinquish the experiment
as desperate, ard complain of the limited
material aid furnished by their own section.
The tariff bill reported by the Committee
of Ways and Means at the last session and
set down for Tuesday next. as the special
order, will probably be superseded.by prior
business and deferred to q more distant day.
Any general legislation on this subject is
doubtful at the present session. though spe-
cial objects may be secured by combinations
or foituitcus causes.
The ceremony ofrsceiving formal speech
from the oldest member of the Foreign Le-
cations will not be observed on New Years
DAY at the White House. The Embassies
will be welcomed as heretofore IN hour be-
lore the ordinary reception, but without any
rigid observance Of etiquette. N. Sartiges
now ranks as the Oldest recognised minister;
and this omission will be mutually accepsa-
bic to him and to the President.
Mr.. " ashburne of Illinois made person.
al explanation in the House to-day, which
Disconnected the Democracy considerably.
OB The 9th inst. he stated that the Demo
cratic papers of his State suppressed the
resolution OF the Cincinnati Convention ap-
Proving President PIerce's Administration
This fact was Immediately disputed by
Messrs. Allen snd Marshall, and also by pa
pers in Illinois. H. produced this morning
the Sla!s Register, Gaiena Courier and Jach-
,onuii.s Sentinel, showing the suppression,
snt the subsequent admissions. Hessrs.
Allsn end Marshall rsceded from their de-
nial, thus crushing out all contradiction.
The Senate met, received a few petitions,
and shut Up shop till Friday, with the in
,ention of then adjourning till Monday or
Tuesday.
Nr. Hamlin goes Immediately to Maine
to assume the the Gubernatorial office, and
the hope is entertained here that he will be
promptly returned to his own vacancy in the
Senate.

SENarE.-Mr. Butler, from the committee
on judiciary, to which was referred the cre-
dentiais Of Harlan, Senator from Iowa, and
the protest OF the Senate Of Iowa Leg sla-
ture relative 10 the subject, reported that the
cummittee, after careful consideration
were unable to agree unanimously. Under
the instructions of the majority, he submit
ted report that Harlan was not duly elect
ed to the Senate, accompanied by resolu-
tions declaring the seat vacant.
Mr.. Toombs gave notice that he should
submit minority report.
Mr.. Harlan hoped the subject woulj be
disposed OF at the earliest practicable period.
and suggested Tomorrow.
Mr.. Stuart remarked that, it being priv
ileged question, might be taken up at any
time without making it special order.
The House bill for the settlements of the
and their widows and orphans, was consid-
cred Mr.. Seward made a long speech in
suppsrt of :he measure and drawing largely
from the writings of Washington 10 ST. ength-
en- his position. e.
Mr.. Pugh opposed the bill regarding iII
entering wedge Of great system of corftp'
tion.
Mr. Stuart made a correction ofhis fornle1
remarks 10 the effect that if the biH passed
President Pierce will receive S5.2S0 and
not $4,000 or $4,000, for revolutionary
services of his father.
Mr. Seward remarked that Mr. Pierce was
MT the only surviving chilt, and the share
which would fall to him would not exceed
one half of the sum now mentioned by the
Senator from Mishigan. Adjourned.
HOUsE.-On motion Of Mr. Walk, the Pre-
sident be requested to inform the House By
what authority he employs goYeFnmeat
