Richmond enquirer. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1815-1867, 1859-01-11
SATURDAY. JANUARY 8. 1859.
Tho Senate was not in session.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
The Speaker laid before the House a message
from the President. enclosing the report from
the Secretary of the Treasury and Postmaster:
General. relative to the claim of Carmack and
Ramsey for alleged abrogation of their con.
tract for carrying the mail via Vera cruz and
Acapulco to San Francisco.
Mr.. Nichols, of Ohio, said the executive Of
icers of the Government have refused to carry
out the law authorizing the First Comptroller
to adjust the damages. lie thought the reasons
assigned for the refusal utterly indefensible.-
It was n high usurpation OF power, which 1t
became the dignity Of Congress to resent in
the most efficient manner. 1t was important
to know whether bureau or cabinet officers
have the right to make law for themselves. lie
wanted the Judiciary Committee to examine
and report whether any further legislation is
necessary.
Mr.. Houston, Of Alabama, said the former
Attorney General gave an opinion adverse to
the claim. but Mr.. Whittlesey declined to yield
obedience to il, taking the ground that the law
authorized him as first Comptroller to adjust the
damages.
The present Comptroller, Mr.. Medill, was
governed by a similar opinion Of Judge Black.
that there had been no violation ofcontract, and
therefore there could be no damages.
Mr.. Nichols reminded Mr.. Houston of the
fact that the law instructed the first Comptrol-
Ter to carry it's will into effect, and contended
that the Attorney General had no power to pre-
vent the execution of the law.
Mr.. Jones, of Tennessee, understood that
Congress did not decide wcther damages were
due or not, but constituted the first Comptrol-
Ter a chancellor to act upon and determine the
case on its merits.
Mr. Philips, of Pa, said tho first Comptroller
had no right to set up his judgment over an
act of Congress-. which he, rs o ministerial Off
Ger. had disregardcd.
Mr.. Grocsbeck, (of Ohio as an effort had
been made to inilict ccnsure on the first Comp
trollcr. invited an investigation into his con-
duct.
The documents were referred TO the Commit
tee on the Judiciary.
Mr.. V~allandigham, of Ohio, reminded the
| House Of the fact that this was the anniversary
of the battle of New Orleans, that the Senate
had set n patriotic example by adjourning over,
and that from his information. Congress had
not sat on such an occasion for fifteen years. For
these reasons, he moved that the House ad-
iourn. Nesatievd, Sc, against SO.
On motion of Mr.. Faulkner, Of Virginia, ii
was
Resolved, That the Secretary Of War be re-
| quested to transmit to this House a statement
| Of the money annually expended during the
last ten years for barracks and officers quar-.
| lers, distinguishing under the several heads Of

rents, constructions and repairs; the amount
so expended at each post, with the sums now
appropriated but unexpended for such Objects,
exhibiting the posts so erected and now occu-
pied by our troops and the numbers at each
post, and such as have been abandoned as no
longer needful for military purposes, stating
how far, in his opinion, the system Of erecting
permanent barracks OH our frontier posts whose
value must be temporary should be dispensed
with. and a more economical system introduced,
together with any other suggestion which may
occur to him calculated, without Injury to the
public service, to reduce the expenses in the
nuarter-master's department,
Mr.. Davis, of Mississippi, moved that the
House adjourn; which motion was agreed to
yeas So. nays IS. And then the House adjourn
ed fill Monday next.

FRIDAY, JANUARY :, 1859.

Mr.. Seward presented the petition of certain
citizens of New York. praying for the passage
of the Old Soldiers Pension bill, and the Home
stead bill.
Mr.. Seward offered a resolution calling on
the President for all correspondence of a re-
cent date which has passed between the Brit
ish government and the American minister in
London, touching the abuses Of the American
flag on the coast of Africa on the subject Of the
slave trade, and especially in the case of the
barquc Wandercr. Agreed to.
Mr.. Slidell moved that when the Senate adj
journ it be until Monday next, in view Of the
fact that tomorrow was the sth day of Janua-
~. Agreed to.
Mr.. Harlan offered a resolution calling on
the Secretary of the Navy for = list Of the YES
sells in the United States Navy, together with
a list of officers and the salaries attached

BY me REV. CHARLIE kINUsLhI.
Three Fishers went sailing out Into the west
Out into the West, as the sun went DOWN;
Each thought Of the woman that iov'd him the best,
And the children stood watching them out Of the town;
For men must work and women must weep,
And there's little to earn and many to keep,
Though the harbor bar be moaning.
Three wives sat up in the lighthouse tower,
And they trimm'd the lamps as the sun went down.
They iookid A, the squal, and they lcoS'd At the show 4,
And The nirht.rack came rolling up ragged and brown
Put men must work and women must weep,
Tho storms be sudden and waters deep,
And the harbor bar he moaning.
Three corpses lay out on the shining sands,
In the morning CLEAN. as the tide went aorm; h,rd.
And the women are watching and Wrinsius ..e, 'A"'

AN o1D FRIEND IN A NEW DRESS.

r,rss me-cbants went riding out into the West,
On The tor Of the bus, as the sun went down,
Each though, Of his wife, and how richly She drcst,
And the growing circumference OF her new gown;
ror r;vcs mast dress and husbands must pay,
And there's plenty TO get and little 10 say
While the Milliner's Bill Is running.
Three wives sa; up In Jane Clarke's for hours,
And they told her 20 put every article down,
They ordered the silks and they ordered the flowers,
And the bill Ii kept rolling up, gown upon gown:
For wives must dress and husbands will pay,
Though perhaps they will be in u terrible way,
When they're dunned for the Bill that Is running.
Three Bankrupts were figuring In the Gazette,
On Il Tuesday night, when the sun went down,
And the women were weeping. and quite in n pet.
For the dresses they never will Show to the town;
For wives will dress. though husbands can pay,
And Bankruptcy's surely the pleasantest way
To get rid Of the Bill and the dunning.
