persons interested in laying the submarine
telegraph are we'll aware OF the futility of the

charges that the intended attempt at relaying

at the last attempt, before the cable parted. that
all electrical communication with the land had
ceased and, to prevent this fact from becom-

break. 1t further states, that on land no circuit
over six hundred miles in extent has ever been

Congressional.
Below will be found an abridgement Of
Congressional proceedings for the past week:
The Senate on the 26th passed the bill for
the improvement of Chicago Harbor, one for
improvement Of the mouth of the Milwaukee
River, and bill authorizing the Fifteen Mil
lion Loan.
In the House nothing decisive was done, but
considerable debating in relation to the expe.
diency OF building ten sloops-of- War, and vi it'll
regard to the Fifteen Million Loan, which re-
suited in laying the latter aside for the present
SENATE, 9th. General river and harbor bills
debated. The bill for the Improvement of She
boygan Harbor was called up, and an amend
ment offered embracing all the ha,bos of which
appropriations are asked, amounting to $780,
600. After long discussion Senate adjourned
without acting upon tho bill.
House. The bill app'opriating four million
dollars for the expenses of the collection of the
revenue was passed. Mr.. Clay of Ky, asked
but failed to obtain unanimous consent to in
tIoduce bill to restrain and suppress outragcs
on the flag and citizens of the United States
The House went into committee on the P. O.
appropriation bill, and subsequently on the
army bill. Several amendments were made,
among them one appropriating 100000 for
altering the present arms to breech loading ones
and another approprating $l43,5 SEQ to pay the
four companies of volunteers enlisted into the
Utah service for nine months the bill was then
laid aside, and the committee took up the bill
making appropriations for the Ocean mail SER
vice.
House, 70. The House passed the Post Office
Army, and Ocean Mail Steamship bill. y
House and II Senate bills were passed.
SENATE. Mr. Mason, from the committee n
foreign relations, to whom was referred the req.
olution inquiring whether additional legisla.
ton is necessary to place certain power in the
hands Of the Executive, submitted resolution.
of which the substance is, that the official state
meits show succession Of acts of aggression
by the British cruisers in the Gulf of Mexico,
and so marked and extraordinary, as to have
awakened the indignation of the whole country.
Vessels under our flag, purusing lawful COM
merce, have been fred into and stopped, and
inquiries made as to cargo, destination, crew,
&c. The slave trade is alledged as the excuse.
The committee refrain from recommending
further legislation, only for the reason that the
President has ordered all our available navy
to the infested waters, with orders to protect |
our flag.

Wholesale Bribery,

Wholesale Bribery.
From the Report of the Special Com mittee,
OF the Wisconsin Legislature, We condense the
following interesting facts, showing the price
at which the State Officers and Others were
purchased.
In consideration of the amounts paid they
were to give their votes and influence towards
securing to the La Crosse and Milwaukee Road,
part Of the land, granted by the United
States to the State of Wisconsin in 1856 for
the Guiding Of Railroads. and the following
amounts were paid to State officers, Editors and
Others, in stocks and bonds of the La Crosse
Co.
Gov. Bashford, $4,000. Nine Senators,
$4,000 each, do. and one member of the
Assembly $4,000 each, eight Assemblymen,
$4,000 each. and fifty do. $4,000 each. The
Bank Comptroller. Lieut.. Governor, an outsider,
and the Assistant Clerk of Assembly, each
$4,000, Chief Clerk of Assembly, $1,000
Besides these, number of outsiders who were
not State officers in 1856, received the follow
ing Five $25, 10000 each. one SIS 5000, eight
$4,000, four $4,000, one $4,000 and FIVE
$1,000 each, thus making, with the addition of
$4,000 for the Governors Private Secretary,
and few small amounts for others, grand
total Of $989,9OO.
This amount Of stocks and bonds was given
to secure the passage Of the bill, and from it
We would infer that Office holders are we'll paid

and wished 10 pay for two volumes" We
were never more surprised at any occurrence
that ever came under our observation. Only
think of a man coming into a newspaper Office,
and offering to pay for a paper, he never sub.

The Mormons.

The Mormons.
Official information has been received that
the Mormons have laid down their arms, and
are preparing to leave Salt Lake City for the
southern part of the Territory. Gov. Cumming
has entered the city upon the invitation of
Brigham Young, without an escort.
If this news is correct, it is supposed the re.
suit has been brought about by the efforts of
COL Thomas L. Kane, who was dispatched to
Salt Lake, as a peace commissioner by the way
of California. This carly termination of the
Mormon war, is fortunate for the government,
and will save the national treasury many mil
lions of dollars, but the American PEOPLE will
not be satisfied with the result Their move.
ment to the south, and their apparent submits
sion to the government, is only to enable them
to form another and more infamous state Of
society, and in time come in more open rebel
lion against the laws of the United States.
The leaders are known to be men who scru-
pie at the commission Of 10 crime, however
revolving to humanity to accomplish their ends,
and nothing but total determination of this
gracelsss band Of murderers polygamists and
impostors, will ever be Productive of any good,
Or satisfy the demands Of public opinion.
They have been permitted to go ON unre-
strained in the prosecution of their designs for
30 long a time without molestation, and practi.
ced such systems Of archdeviltry, under the
plea that it WAS part of, and commanded by
their religion, that now the work has been com.
menced of breaking up that den of infamy,
nothing will restrain the people of this Repub-
lie from putting them at some future day be-
yond the power of renewing their unholy prac-
tees on American soil and their removal to
the south only procrastinates their final destruc.
ton and Punishment from this continent.
