CONGRESS.

In the Senate Yesterday. a communication
WAS read from the Postmaster General. trans
hitting certain information called torat th'
last session. in regard to the official conduct
the postmaster at San Francisco.
Mr.. Biglcr introduced bill to regulate the
location of public buildings in Philaie lphia
referred.
Mr.. Crittendcn moved To take up the French
Spoliation Bill; taken up-ycas II, nays II
The bill having been read. Mr.. Crittendcr
stated that this bill. in one form or another
had passed each house Of Congress severa
times. but had never passed both at the same
time. 50 as TO become law. He said thai
it had been on the tapis a good many years
and had been advocated by nearly all IN,
great statesmen of the age, among them
Webster, CLAY. dc. He said that the faith
of the Government stood virtually if not ex'
pressly pledged for the payment Of the claims
provided for by this BILL 1t was originally
understood that they were TO be paid at the
Measure of the Government. He thought that
it was time that the Government should be
pleased TO. at least. act in the matter, whether
it DE for or against the claims.
The subject was postponed until to-day,
and the Pacific Railroad bill taken up.
In the House Of Representatives. Mr.. Col,
fax introduced a bill TO organize the Territory
of COlonna: referred
On motion of Mr. John Cochranc, of y,
the House went into Committee Of the Whole
and took up the bill codifying the revenue
laws, the special order for to-day.
Mr.. c. advocated its passage. lie said II
proposes no change in the collection districts,
nor does it affect the revenue officers; but
simply aims 50 to arrange the existing laws
and modify their frequently contradictory pro
visions. as 10 render them easy Of reference
distinct. and of but one Interpretation.
There can. under these codified laws, hc
but little danger of litigation growing out OF
the collection Ol the revenues. anu Tue p"H''
ness of the Government, in this branch OF the
puhlic service. can be performed with greater
facility and accuracy, and with more satISiac'
ton ~ both officers Of the revenue. and parties
with whom they may have transactions
Mr.. c. then proceeded TO illustrate the
difficulties attending the administration Of
the present revenue laws. and TO explain
how the codified laws contained in this
bill prevent any such occurrences. On the
conclusion of Mr.. Cochranc's remarks, the
committee rose.
Amendments proposed by the Commerce
Committee were then ordered to be printed
and the subject was made the special order
for next Thursday.

WISSAHICCON.
IluN MrNIC ATED,

As it is in contemplation to repair kING
STREET, the principal business street OF our
town. it is very desirable that the best plan
possible should he adopted. In late NUM-
her of the London Times. il is stated. that II
has been decided in that city to take up the
pavng-stonc already laid for (rc-paving)
Regent street. and TO repair that thorough
farcon the principle ofan entire Naca'amis@d
road. The description Of this plan, now in
course of execution is taken from The Build
en-
The entire bed of the macadam il taken
IN: the material twice screened the first by
li-inch sleeves and the larger humps Of the
broken Guernsey reserved for use again in
surface strata. The second screening, by
half-inrh seycs. brings out L stone OF smaller
size. The rest dirt and stone ground to
rowder-about half of the whole mass is
carted away. A sub-stratum composed OF
broken Kcntish rag with small stone THE
second screenings Of the old materially and
an ingredient formed of coal. tar and ashes.
thc whole moistcncd with water and well
blended. is laid down and carefully formed to
the intended shape Of the road. and brought
to q smooth surface by rolling. This forms
a compact. tough, and elastic layer, impcr-
vious 10 water. and constitutes what may be
termed the cushion-the primary feature OF
originality in Mr.. Car"y's plan. On this
lies the sGpcr-stratum, which latter consists Of
q finch LAYER of the cleaned Guernsey. The
TON is sprinklcd over with a small single Of
the same matcrial-wedge-. ~ 1t were, tor
binding the surface stones together: and over
that another sprinkingo of 4 fine loamy gra-
vel. these together partially filling up the in
terstices of the Jumps of stone. In order to
ret a smooth surface previous to the opening
for traffic. a heavy roller Of six tons weight is
cmplovcd. This roller is constructed in six
rings. five feet in diameter. with width Of
ten inches on the rim: each rim having AN
independent bearing. The contract for this
work is >. I'd. per square yard. Connected
with this work is an original feature-thc in

TmE PoIso>I<G C,>E.-Thc Warrcnton
Flag gives the following particulars of the at
tempt to poison the family of DR.. Monkey, of
Prince William county. The arsenic had
been purchased hv the family for the purpose
of DESTROYING rats and, being left in "A work
basket. was slipped thcreirom by the servant
and put into Il tca-kcttlc of water. which She
used both for making coffee and bread. At
the table several Of the family had partakcn
ofboth before any discovery was madc-alI OF
whom. We are glad to hear, Except DIR. vi. :
mothcrl are recovering. She. being an aged
lady, soon died from its effects. We learn
that the negro woman had before made threats
against the family. She is now in Prince
Vim. Jail and will doubtless suffer the pen
altv attached 10 the crime of murder.
LouDoUS County CouRT.--The l.oudoun
Mirror says The Alexandria Gazette last
week, in publishing the Court days for this
and the surrounding counties, says the Coun-
ty Court for Loudoun is held on the Second
Monday in each month, which is a mistake.
Our monthly courts are held on the Tuesday
succeedimgthe second Nonday. This mistake,
however, is only slight one which time Will
correct. The present day for holding Court
was adopted few months ago, but it conve-
nicnces nobody, and instead Of being the
public blessing that was claimed for it. has
proven downright abortion, and We predict
that before many moons shall have waxed and
waned. the old-tashioncd Second Monday Will
again be re-instated."
RAILROADS &c.-In the Senate on Wedncs-
day, there was presented petition from citl-
zcns of Georgetown very numerously signed,
urging upon Congress that the Metropolitan
Railroad Company may be authorized TO con,
struct tho road from Georgetown into and
through the city of Washington.
Also, from citizens of Washington, numer-
ouslv signed asking that the same company
NAV be authorized to construct their road
along Pennsylvania avenue to the Baltimore
railroad depot.
A resolution Of the Board of Common
Council of the Corporation of Georgetown,
in favor of the erection of a permanent
bridge over the Potomac, upon the piers OF the
AQucduct above that city.
The telegraph along the line of the Orange

in Il week or ten days. Offices will be open
