CONGRESSIONAL.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31-M.

E- WASHINGTON, Jan. SIN.
SENATE-Many Eunimportant memorials.
reports, and bills were introduced.
Bigler introduced the following impor-
tant resolution, asking for its consideration
tomorrow, or as early as possible.
ResoLOed, That in the opinion of the
Senate, the creation of a large public debt
in time of peace, is Inconsistent with the
policy of the United States, and as the pre-
sent revenues are insufficient to meet the
unavoidable expenses of the government,
Congress should proceed without delay to
so re-adiust the revenue laws as not only to
meet the deficit in the current expenses,
but to pay off the present debt so far as
it may be desirable to Immediate cancela-
ton. sfs.r-
Slidell attempted to bring up the Cuba
resolutions, and after discussion as to
whether precedence should be awarded
to it or Mr.. Hunters Indian appropriation
| bill
Seward expressed the readiness of himself
and his party to meet the gentlemen on the
other side. -a -..e1
Both we're over-ridden by the previous
arrangement that Mr. Foote should have
the floor on the Walker Paulding resolu-
ton. -'
Foot, of VT, commenced by offering as
substitute for the committees report and
for the Presidents statement, that Commo-
| dore Paulding committed a grave error, a
| resolution to the effect that as Commodore
| Paulding rescued Walker and his followers
on Nicaraguan soil, for the benefit of Near
aqua, and with her assent, since thankfully
! expressed, he is entitled to the commenda-
| ton of his cOuntrymen. -.-r
| The ground Foot took was that General
Walkers expedition being illegal and SC
considered by this Government, Commodore
| Panlding acted commercially without the
spirit OF his instruction in suppressing it.
inasmuch as our jurisdiction follows the
flag wherever it floats, and all under it are
responsible thereto.
| HOUsE.-A memorial was presented from
citizens of New York, asking for the pas
sage of a law to stop further traffic and mo-
nopoly in public lands, and to parcel them
out for the exclusive use of actual settlers.
Eddie moved to discharge the Committee
of the Whole from the consideration of the
bill extending the Chatter India-rubber pat
ent for seven years The report of the
Committee ON Patents speaks of the great
utility of the improvements, the profits
from which have been remunerative to The
| inventor.
Washburn, of ILL.,, asked whether the pat.
ent had been in existence twenty-one years
! and whether it did not expire year and f
half ago, and whether the effect of the bill
was not to make private what is now pub
| lie property.
Eddie replied that the report stated al
| the facts but one, and that this he was will
ing to repeat. The motion TO suspend the
rules was disagreed to--ayes 81, nays So
A two-third vote being necessary.
Stephens moved suspension of the rules
in order to introduce resolution setting
apart the 9Th, 9th and 10th of February
for the consideration of territorial business
/ Disagreed to-ayes los, nays 80. Not two

Among the passengers on New Orleans
steamer at the wharf day or two since,
was a sharp-visaged solemn-looking indivi-
dual, with an immensity of shirt-collar and
clerical neck-tie, and whose general appear
ance seemed to indicate that he was a dis
tributor of religious tracts and pious deeds.
He had only a short time before the boat
reached Evansville made the acquaintance
of a lot of gamblers who were aboard, and
who had victimized him in pretty round
sum, and also feeced him of valuable
watch, which caused him suddenly to find
himself long ways from home among
strangers and penniless. 1t appears the man
resided in Massachusetts,, the natives of
which commonwealth arc usually looked
upon as being sufficiently up to the ways of
the world to take care of No. l. He had
been induced to engage in the selling of
maps, and in order to raise the necessary
funds, had mortgaged his house and lot for
behind and started for Holly Springs, Miss,
the point to which he expected to have his
maps consigned. Arriving at Cincinnati,
he took boat for Memphis, and got along
smoothly in his travels until social game
of cards was introduced for amusement of
course, which soon changed to one of those
swindling games SO often played upon the
unwary traveller, who is imprudent enough
to be inveigled into bet upon the result
The excitement once up, bets ran high, hun
dreds of dollars changed hands, and the
spectators became interested, and crowded
around the players. Conspicuous among
the latter was the Yankee map pedlar, who,
seing the gold upon the table, became in
fatuated with the desire to possess it. He
was sure be could win, and so expressed
himself; but upon being bantered to bet
refused. The game proceeded, the strang.
er's excitement became more and more
manifest, and he was again importuned by
the parties to bet but still declined, stating
ut the same time, that he was a member o
the church, never gambled in his life, an6
could not afford to lose his money. A few
more turns of the cards, however, and he
could withstand the temptation no longer
He went in, staked all his money, which die
not size the dealers pile-added his watcl
to make up the defect, and-lost. AS soor
as the unsophisticated gentleman compre
hended the result of his first essay at thu
card table. he was changed to the yer,
that the result was totally unexpected-tha
he had lost every cent he possessed, that h
was more than thousand miles from home
