Proceedings of To-Day.

In THE SENATE, to-day, the joint resolution
giving the consent of Congress to Lieut. Maury
and Prof. Bache to receive gold medals from
the Sandman Government was adopted.
Mr.. Green, from the Committee on Terrific
ries, reported adversely on the memorial of
Riley, Speed, and Shafner praying the estab-
lishment of telegraphic communication with
the Pacific.
Mr.. Seward moved to take up the resolution
admitting Messrs. Lane and Mccarthy upon
the floor of the Senate during the discussion of
the memorial praying their recognition as Sem
ators; but the hour for the special order hav-
ing arrived, the motion was not acted upon.
Mr.. Clingman having the floor then proceed
ed to address the Senate on the revenue resOlu-
ton offered by Mr.. Biglcr. He spoke in oppO-
sition to the views of Mr.. Bigler in regard to
an increase Of the tariff.
In The House, the consideration Of the Ne
braska contested election case was resumed.
Messrs. Gilmer and Wilson advocntei the
claims of the contestant, Mr.. B. B. Chapman.
Mr.. John COchrane moved to lay the whole
subject on the table; agreed to-yeas 80, nays

The committees being called
MIR. Stephens, from the Territories Commit
tee, reported back the bill for the admission of
Oregon, without amendment.
Mr.. Stephens said that no census has been
taken in Oregon since 1885, and that the news
paper reports of a recent census are therefore
untrue. In 1850, the population was about
$4,000; and in 1855, according to the official
census, it was A., 472. This showed an increase
of about 400 per cent in five years. IF it has
increased in equal ratio since it must be nearly
10000. lie would not urge that the increase
has been so great as that but that it has in
creased very largely each year there can be
no doubt.
The taxable property of the territory as
shown by the official reports was, in 1877, as
sessed at Sis 90 900, and this did not include
real estate, to which there can yet be no title,
as the surveys have not yet been made. This
was an increase of l. per cent. on the amount
Of the preceding year.
From these deductions Mr.. S. said il was
clear that the people of Oregon were very rich,
or else there We're sufficient Of them to entite
| their admission into the Union After some
further arguments, Mr.. Stephens moved to
refer the bill to the Committee of the Whole
Mr. Davis wished to have the bill returned
| to the Committee On Territories, with instruc-
| tons to attach to it clause for the repeal oil
| the English bill and the admission Of Kansas
Mr. Maynard proposed to move an amend
| ment directing a census of the Territory to BE-
taken, and providing that no State be hereaf
| ter admitted into the Union with less popu
latiOn than the ratio necessary for one member
| Of Congress; that aliens be not permitted Il
vote in the Territory, &c.

IL In the trial Of Mrs. Hartung, at Albany.
who was found guilty, on Monday, Of the muir
der Of her husband, the principle Of a party,s
cTsdibility in his own case became curiousIy in
voIved. The husband died OF arsenic. or this
there was no doubt. The poison was admins
tered by the wife, or by william Rhineman, her
paramour, or by both together. This, too. was
beyond question. Near the close OF the trial the
woman made a statement, which was read to tn
court and jury by her counsel. It was not evil
oehce' the law which permits parties to be wit
hesses In their own behalf In civil cases denies
tnrm ihat night In criminal trials, where life or
liberty is at stake. The statement OF Mrs Bar-
tung was, substantially, that she was induced 10
buy the arsenic by her lover for an innocent pur.
pose, as he informed her, and that she had no
suspicion thai her husbands death had been
caused by poison till some time AFTER the deed
was committed.

Spirit OF THE MORNING PRESS.

The Union, in an article entitled 'The Great
Northwest to the Pacific says that this great
division of the country, although sometimes
led astray for the moment, does not enter into
the sectional differences which distract other
divisions, and that the people whose homes are
here claim the right of free passage to the
ocean, along their mighty water courses, and,
although they may be deprived of it for time,
yet in the end they will enforce it. 1t says
that in the future Development of the North
and Southwest railway to the Pacific is a
necessity, and that those who doubt as to the
sbiiity or capacity of the country to construct
them, or as to the profit of the investment when
they are constructed, have only to look at the
progress Of this region during the last fifty
years to cease to doubt

Inconsistencies Of the New York Times on the
