Our readers will recollect that some time ago
Mr.. Strickland, bookseller, was expelled from
Mobile on the grave charge of having sold sundry
copies of Uncle Toms Cabin, and of having on his
shelves one or more copies Of that incendiary
publication. Mr.. Strickland on this grave charge
was obliged to fly for his life, leaving his property
and business behind him. Lately one OF his part
ners yentured to Mobile with view to close the
business of tho firm and 10 collect the outstanding
debts due to it. His appearance there has been
the signal for another outbreak Of mob violence,
and he too has been obliged TO fly for his life. 1t
seems to be pert of the new Southern creed that
no faith is to be kept with men not perfectly sound
on the goose and that for n suspected Abclitionst
to attempt to collect the debts due him is an oense
Of the same magnitude with presuming TO sell
copies Of Uncle Toms Cabin.

XNXVth CONGRESS.."First Session.

SENATE. WASHINGTON, Jan. 49, 1873.
Mr.. DOOLlITLE introduced Joint resolution d.
tecting the presentation of medal to Commodore
PaudiDg.
The Senate debated the motion to reconsider the
vote adopting the amendment to the joint resolution
extending aud defining the power Of the President in
regard TO the nomination OF officers who affected
by the action Of the Naval Retiring Board, which
amendment prescribed that there shall be no such con
stiuctitn a. will allow increase OF the number of
officers active service list as row authorized by
law.
Mtsrs. HOUSTON, TOOSIBS and others earnestly
favored The reconsideration, cont ending that the effect
OF the proyi.O was 20 prevent justice being done to
the officers who have been nurousy affected by the
action Of the Naval Retiring Board.
NJ. TOOMBS spoke of these officers aa Icing the
victims of the most perfidous treschefy
Mr.. STUART argued that no necessity had been
shown for increasing the active list. Although great
deal hadgbeen said about injustice, the specifications
had not been mentioned.
Mr.. DAVIS mentioned two ca ses of gallant officers
who were struck DOWN while on honorable service
the one in Pugets Sound, and the other the coast
Of Africa.
Mr.. HALE eulogized Commodore Ste vart aud de-
nounoed the Refining Board generally: When lie
closed bis remarks there slight dennnstration
Of applause in the galleries, which were denscly
crowded by officers Of the Navy and others.
After long debate the amendment was rejected
and a Joint resolution pas -sd, with another amend
ncnt limiting the power Of the President IN nominate
to six months aftc! the passage Of this act.
Mr.. BROWN gave notice Of his intention to offer
an amendment TO Mr. DoOlitter joint resolution for
medal to Commodore Pauldng, To the effect that Con-
gress has heard with surprise of the arrest Of Walker
and others at Punta Arenas BY Padding and feeling
satisfied that the said act was violation Of the terri
toria sovereignty of Nicaragua, and not sanctioned
by any existing law, Congress disavows the act, and
being officially satisfied that the said Pauldng acted
vitho NJ instructions from the President the Score
ts-y Of the Navy hereby expresses IT, condemnation
Of bis conduct in this regard.
The Senate then adjourned.

The very important question Of removing the
Quarantine from Staten Island, in the State o.
New York, 10 Sandy Hook in the state Of New
Jersey il how eetated in the latter state and the
Legislature will be well disposed to do Whist is
right If tbey are not blinded With fsl-c issues which
my be raised. The Quarantine Commissioners
have lately sent circulars TO all the members OF the
New-Jersey Legislature arguing N isTor of Sandy
Hook, there being 400 acres there which the
United States offered to eel to New-York for the
purpose for $4,000, if New-Jersey would con-
sent.
The only objections raised to the plan Of removal
are by knot Of persons living in Monmouth
County, n. j., who are eloquent against having "a
pest house" in the midst Of them. But to this
The Jcrsty City Couriu well answers that there are
fifty thousand citizens Of New-Jersey who reside in
the vicinity Of New-York, and many of them do
business there. The health Of such mass is GER
tanly to weigh against a cantankerOus handful.
Besides, considering that the richest prosperity Of
New.Jersoy is due to the proximity to New.fork
which she enjoys il seems to but slight sacri-
fee of immateiisl feeling for New-Jersey to
allow the Quarantine TO be placed on Sandy Hook
where nature designed it to be. Surely such OppO-
sition as this we have described cannot last. The
Monmouth people too are afraid of being flooded
with paupers if the Quarantine be changed. This
is sheer error. Paupers-foreigncrs-don not leave
the Quarantine ground except to come to Castle
Garden, so tho an chat particular receives no
new support and the argument accordingly falls to
the ground

Commodore Paulding has, Ike true and honest
sailor, carried cat his Instruction. II wa not his

He acuuesced in every word that the President had
written on the Central American question. L. was
necessary that instructions should be issued for inter-

He broke not only the International bu: statute Jaw.
He escaped from tbs country under false coors Mr..
Clay maintained that il not only in the power but
that was the duty Of the President to send for Gen.
Walker over the high seas ard bring him back.
The thought that Commodore Paulding had com
nlitted grave error. aud thst this remark by the
President was sufficient censure Oh the conduct OF
that officer.
Mr.. POTTI4E said that there was but one feeling
