FROM WASHINGTON

February l9.-Both Houses have adjourn.
ed over to Tuesday next, to afford an OpPOr-
tunity for members to attend the ceremonies
Of the Inauguration of the statue of Washing
ton at Richmond, on Monday, the 22d.
Gov. Floyd and large party will 60 down
tomorrow night.
The Army bill still hangs in the Senate
The pending question is upon the employ
ment of four thousand volunteers. The OBJ
lection to The measure is the great expense
attending it. The army now consists of
about eighteen thousand men, supposng all
the companies to be filled up to the author
lied number of seventy-four. Beyond this
amount. Congress is not disposed to 60.
Some of the speakers in the Senate, in re-
gard TO the necessity of augmenting the ar
my, have thrown cold water upon the Utah
crusade.
The Senate will not dispose of the ARMY
bill before the end of next week. After that
the Kansas admission bill, yesterday reported
from the Committee on Territories by Mr..
Green. of Missouri, will be taken up, and
pressed to conclusion. Mr.. Green's report
is able and conclusive. Congress has no;h-
ing to do, as he shows, with the approval or
dsapproval of the Constitution of State,
but simply to see whether it be the legal
Constitution of new State, and whether il
be republican in form; whether the bouuda-
ries proposed be admissible, and whether the
number of inhabitants be sufficient to Justify
State organization. The bill for the ad-
mission of Kansas will pass the Senate by a
majority of six or eight. But it may be nee
essary TO resort 10 the prerious question in the
Senate, for the purpose of restricting the dis.
cusson within reasonable limits. The Re.
publican Senators claim thirty days for
speeches, which is unreasonable. Henry Clay,
at one tir1e, advocated the adoption of the
previous question in the Senate, in order to
put on, and to debate, and obtain a vote on
question. -t..
The Special Committee of the House on
the Kansas message. have agreed to investi-
gale only one subject-the legality of the
aPpOrticnment of the delegates for the Le-
compton Convention.
The report of the Committee will tend to
facilitate instead of embarrassing the passage
of the Kansas admission bill.
Colonel Orr showed much judgment and
tact in constituting this important committee.

selection Oh. Cor.

BANKRUPT.-l took stock in the Demo-
cratic Party, and came on here to Washing.
ton to secure my share of the dividend; but
on my arrival, found the I'D thing
broke.-James C. Jones.
The Columbia (Tennessee) Mirror says /:
whether Senator Jones made this declara-
ton or not, we do not pretend to know; but
they say he did, and that language is charnc-
teristic of the man. He was not the first to
discover that the Great National Democratic
Party is broke; nor is he the only ambitious
political capitalist who took stock in the con.
cern, and failed TO secure share of the divi-
dends. lE fact, it has yielded no dividends,
unless you put down the stealage under that
head. The institution has been, and still is,
wretchedly managed. The stock is at a
heavy discount all over the Union, and is
daily depreciating. Its boosted sinking fund
the Kansas Nebraska bill and the principles
therein invoIved-has been swept away long
ago; and il what is left of its capital stock
were divided out to-day among the share
holders, the largest amount distributed would
not buy the vote Of single railroad Irish
man.
"Of the many splendid promises which the
Administration made the people, not one has
been redeemed at maturity; they have all
been suffered TO go to protest without the
faintest effort TO "pay them out" With such
q miserable management, it is no wonder that
the thing 1--WE omit Senator Jones' pious ex-
Pletive "by particular request'D is bankrupt.
Tha: it is bankrupt, nobody pretends to
doubt; and the worst of it, or rather, the best
of it, is, that bankruptcy is utterly hopeless;
for its liabilities exceed its assets by at least
five hundred per cent.

SAFETY OF INVESTMENTS IN REAL ESTATE.
We find very sensible article in the Feb
ruary number of Hunts Merchants Maya
zine upon real estate investments and usury.
1t is worthy the consideration Of both Dor
rowers and lenders:
"We agree with the economical writer in
the Philadelphia Ledger, that in the long
run, those men get to be the richest, as all
past experience proves, who invest most of
their surplus capital in good mortgages and
real estate. 1t is astonishing how fast for
tune accumulates, even at per cent, if divi-
dends and rents are invested quarterly, or
even semi-annually. Investments in real Sc
curlties, rarely, or never bring loss; and hence,
there is no drawback on the compromising
interest. The fact is notorious, that, of the
Philadelphia families who were rich a CEN
tury ago, only those remain rich that keep
the bulk of their wealth in real estate. No
business man can afford, for any long period,
to pay two per cent. for money. To demand
such high rates, is, therefore, not sound poll
cy in the capitalists; and the history of the
rich in this, or any other city, if traced back
a hundred years, affords abundant proof of
this. ii is wiser, believe us, not 10 skill the
goose that lays the golden eggs"

"Because half dozen grasshoppers under
fern make the field ring with their impor.u-
nate chink, whilst thousands of great cattle
repese beneath the shade Of the oak, chew
the cud and are silent, pray do not imagine
that those who make the noise are the inhabi-

Message 10 select committee by bare ma

providing for the admission of Kansas and

which will be too strong for the nerve of the
