LATER FROM BUENos AYREs.-Capt. Ankers, of th
schooner Samuel Churchman, from Buenos Ayre
Nov. 4th, reports the export business dull, ther,
being very little produce shipping in consequence
of the high rates at which it was held.
There had been an attempt at revolution about
sixty leagues from the city, in the camp, but it die
not amount to much. 1t was reported ON Nov. l
that the chief was taken near that city.
The export business very dull, on account OF
the high rates which produce was held and with.
out change large number of the vessels in port
would have to leave in ballast.
A letter to the n. Y. Herald, dated November 9
says:
We are to-day enjoying the peaceful and orderly
termination of what might have been a revolution
but for want of men and means.
On Oct. 2s, an uneasy spirit, Juan G. Aguilar,
raised force of seventy or one hundred men, and,
under revolutionary banner, they proclaimed
themselves the only friends of liberty, law and reli
gion. The scene of their inception was about
twenty leagues from this city. They appointed
justices of the peace from their party, and took
curates as prisoners of war in the name of religion
Victor Chirino was also prominent, but Aguilar
was named comm ander in intercepted papers di
rected to him "Gefe de las columnas religiosas "
On the 18th about 200 men were marshaled for
their arrest or destruction, and to-day Aguilar and
about dozen men brought to the city prison.

from the direction of Masonry, and on account o
the leniency and mild frmness of the present ad
ministration.
The great body of the people are liberals. Not
newspaper in the city gives aid or comfort to the
idea of revolution, though some are opposed to
the government. One night last week there wa:
an alarm in the city, and soldiers were ready al
night for orders, and double sentnels were placed
at all posts of probable danger, but no outbreak
occurred. 1t was said by some that it was merely
a ruse that the government adopted to show how
ready it was for an emergency. But this was cer
tainly not right. 1t was rather the sign of keer
foresight and strength than of weakness or osten
tation.

Mr.. NICHOLS, of Ohio said the executive officers
OF the government have refused to carry out the

the refusal utterly indefensble. 1t was high

OF Congress to resent in the most efficient manner

net officers have the right to make law for them
selves. lie wanted the Judiciary Committee to ex-
anime and report whether any further legislation
is necessary.
Mr.. HoUsToN, of Ala, said the former Attorney
General gave an opinion adverse to the claim, but
Mr. w hlttlesey declined to yield obedience to its
taking the ground that the law authorized him as
hrst Comptroller to adjust damages The present
Comptroller, Mr.. Medill, was governed by a similar
opinion to Judge Black, that there had been nc
no danger.
Mr. NICHOLS reminded Mr.. Houston of the fact
that the law instructed the first Comptroller tc
carry its will into effect, and contended that the
cuton of the law.
Mr. JONES, of Tennessee, understood that Con
gress did not decide whether damages were due or
not, but constituted the first Comptroller Chan.

officer had disregarded

The documents were referred to the Committee
On the Judiciary,
Mr.. FALLANDIGHAM, of Ohio, reminded the House

Message of the Governor of Indiana

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 7.-GOvernor Willard deliver
ed his message to the legislature this afternoon
He recommends the erection of suitable buildings
for the use of the State offices, for the Judges of
the Supreme Court, and for the depository of the
public records of the State. He says that the rev.
enues of the Wabash and Erie Canal have greatly
diminished; that it is feared they will prove made
quate to keep the canal in repair; that the bond
holders are unwilling to sustain the work by any
other means than those derived from the revenues,
having already invested half the entire debt of the
State In the work itself, besides eight hundred
thousand dollars for its completion, and that they
have informed the Board of Trustees of their deter
mination to close the canal and abandon the work
whenever the revenues become inadequate He
calls the attention of the legislature to the necessi
ty of increasing the salaries of the Judges of the
Supreme Court and the Governors salary. He
says that the laws of the State in regard to the
qualifications of voters and election officers are in
adequate, and that law should be passed inhicting
severe penalties on election officers who decline to
receive legal or admit illegal votes. He recon-
mends also an appropriation to be made for the en-
largement of the Insane Asylum.

BosToN, Jan. 7.-Governor Banks was Inaugural
ted to-day and delivered his message to both
branches of the Legislature. 1t is long, exclusively
confined to State matters, and gives encouraging
account OF the material progress of the common
wealth.
The bank returns show, that the specie in banks
has been increased to eleven millions one hundred
and twelve thousand seven hundred and fifteen dol
lars, against three millions six hundred and eleven
thousand and ninety-seveu dollars last year.
The loans have increased in the same time from
ninety-two millions, four hundred and fifty-eight
thousand five hundred and seventy-two dollars, to
one hundred and one misions, six hundred and
sixty two thousand, nine hundred and forty

purposes, was one million, four hundred and seven
ty-four thousand, four hundred and eighty eight
dollars
The number of children between five and fifteen

fourteen thousand, for the payment of which, as il
becomes due, the most ample provision and secu-
rity has been made.

Mr.. Edward Yates has much right to caricature
Mr. Thackeray as the latter has to caricaure other
people, is in fair way of being settled in quieter
and more satisfactory manner than making it the
subject of law suit. Mr.. Yates is to express sor-
row for his offence, Mr.. Thackeray is to withdraw
his harsh letters, and the latter will then write to
the Committee requesting them to recall the exile.
This will be fit ending to such an important
matter.

The Cincinnati Gazette, January T. notices an ac-
cident on the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad caused
by decayed tie at curve, few miles below the
city. Two passenger cars ran off the track and fell
over an embankment about ten feet high In the
descent they turned partly over, throwing the pas
sengers against the seats and sides with considera-
more less bruised, but no one was seriously hurt
The confusion that followed the upsetting of the
cars was greatly increased by the wood work taking
lire from the stove nearly suffocating the passen-
gers. Some of the gentlemen who retain ed their
presence of mind, promptly extinguished the fire
by water conveyed from the canal in hats.
