The Inst Of the XXXY Congress.

Congress has closed its session,
and an eventful one it was, if for no
thing else. at least for the little /,
has done for the benefit of the coun.
try. The fact is, the country has
never before been cursed with such
a weak and corrupt administration,
backed up by such worthless Con-
grcss.
The Democracy commenced their
career at the opening of the late Con
gress, with a majority over oil Other
parties combined, and yet they have
fooled away theirtime discussing the
Cuba project, and did not pass one OF
all the important measures that the
interests OF tho country 80 much de-
manded. They refused to so modi-
fy the tariff, even temporarily, as to
provide Tor the deficiency in the rev.
enue, and meet the public debts
They defeated the Pacific Railroad
bill, the Homestead bill, the Post
office Appropriation bill; and re.
fused, in both branches, to remove
the unjust restriction from Kansas.
And what has this Democratic Con
gress done that has not been detri-
mental to the interests of the coun-
try2 At the winding up of the scs
sion, they passed bill authorizing
the Issue Of another batch of shin
plasters to meet the moncyed wants
of the government. Yes, this Dem
ocratic, hard money Congress did
this. And to cap tho climax of fol-
ly, they adjourned without passing
the Postoffice Appropriation bill
thus leaving the PostofTice Depart.
ment in a most deplorable condition,
the Inconvenience resulting from
which, will be felt by the masses ol
the people moro seriously than any
other act Of folly committed.

More CorruptiOn.

The committee of the House, ap
pointed to examine into the official
condnct of Seaman, the late Super
intendent of Public Printing. have
unanimously reported most villain.
ous corruption, in which the present
Superintendent is implicated. The
committee were made up Of three
Democrats, one Republican, and one
American; yet they united in re
porting against Seaman; ard il re
commenting his prosecution by the
civil authorities. In fact, from tn,
President down, every federal off.
cial seems to have considered the
public funds as a prize lcgitimately
secured by his election to Office -
Not much wonder that the expenses
of the government have been so ne.
tonishingly increased: and that the
Indebtedness of the same has run IN

Mr.. Houst IN, of Alabama, wanted

amendment made by the Senate, ex-
tending the treasury note law for

Mr.. OAen Jones raised a point OF
order that the Senate had no right to
insert clause OF this kind in an Ap
preparation bill, being contrary to
the clause in the Constitution, pro
viding that all bills for raising tn,
revenue shall originate in the House
Mr.. Jones. of Tennessee, said
that this amendment merely pro
vided to give new treasury notes fol
the old ones.
The Speaker overruled the point
1t was for the House to determine
whether the amendment was Con-
atitutioDal or not. An appeal was
taken, and on motion, laid on the
table. The amendment was reject.

be had in regard to the Post Office

After some further propositions,
the Speaker arose and delivered O

Some of the members bid one an.
other farewell and soon the hall was
deserted by all save the laborers, who
set to work removing the paper and
rut bish which lay scattered thickly

can speak Of slavery as service, but
not service as slavery; otherwise We
rank oil our apprentices, and indeed
all who perform labor, as slaves
The terms are not convertible; one

We hold that the Constitution
does not regard persons ir the light

guments in favor OF the introduction
and establishment Of slavery, in Sec
tions where it does not now exist by
virtue o! state laws, based on the
general property principle, are irrel-

The Cuba Corruption Biii Abandoned.

The Cuba Corruption Biii Abandoned.
The bill for the appropriation of
$50 900, 900, to be used in tamper-
ing with Spain, for the purchase Of
Cuba, was abandoned in the United
States Senate, II few days before Con-
gress adjourned, by Mr.. slidell, it's
author. He declared his purpose to
lay it on the shelf for the time being;
and in the course Of his remarks took
occasion to ccnsure his coniederatcs
in this treacherous scheme, for their
lack of courage IN coming up to the
defence of the bill. The fact is, the
last debate on this question was ex.
ceedingly damaging to the Demo
cracy. The Republicans so com.
pletcly turned upon them their own
batteries, that they coull not stand
the fire, and retreated.
In answer to the argument that
We must have Cuba, as it's peculiar
position while in the hands Of for.
eign power, very mnch exposed oul
Southern coast, it was shown most
conclusive,y that no arrangement
could be more favorable to the Uni.
ted States, in case of war betweenI
the United States and any ol the
< eat muratime powers OF Europe,
such as England and France. For
as long as Spain retained possession
of the island, it would remain neu-
trail ground, giving no advantage to-
the enemy; while il it were in pos
session of the United States, it would
invite attack and require a large
Of our military force to
protect it's coasts and prevent it from
falling into the hands OF the enemy.
In this way it would really add to
our weakness, instead Of to our
strength.

On motion OF Mr.. Clay, of Ala.

at New York, was taken up.
Three o'clock, a. m.-The Senate

Rcccsses OF ten minntes each were
taken at intervals, every thing being
at dead lock, At min, o'clock this
morning a message came from the
House, stating that they had agreed
TO somo, and disagreed to others OF
the Senate amendments to the Mis-
cellaneous Appropriation Bill; also,
that the House would assent to meet
a committee of the Senate to confer
on the disagreement to the Postal
Bill.
Mr.. Hunter stated that the House
had, by one or two majority, agreed
to the Treasury note amendment and
disagreed to many others, but from
what he was informed, the only
chance OF the passage Of the bill was
to recede, and he moved to recede
accordingly.
Mr.. YuIee hoped not; it wonld

Mr. Hunter explained that tina,

Several Senators attempted to pre-,

persisted and the Vice. President de

Distressing AGair-A BRIDE and Oth-
ers Fatally Burned.
The Louisville Courier has the
following:
BY a passenger from Lebanon, we
learn OF a most distressing affair
which occurred near that place yes
terday. Miss Susan Shuck, dangh
ter OF John Shuck, Esquire, was to
have been married to Mr.. John
Thomas, at twelve o'clock. But n
few minutes prior to the time the
ceremony was to be performed, her
dress accidentally caught on fire, and
the wedding dress, which was o.
thin material, was instantly in a
blaze and the young lady was fatally
burned. Her sister, Mrs. Burr IIar-
rison, in her efforts to save her, fred
her own dress and was perhaps even
more severely burned. There is but
little hope OF her recovery it is fear.
ed. Mr.. Shuck and other members
of tho family, who also tried to re-
lieve the young lady from her per-
ri!ous situation, were burned, but
not seriously. The scene was terri.
tying beyond the expression of Ian
guage.
The bride was badly burned from
the waist up, and the hair burned
from her head. After her wounds
were dressed, and while she lay up
on her couch suffering the most in
tense agony, the marriage ceremony
was performed.
Rooms had been prepared at tho
National Hotel, in this city, for the
bridal party and they were to leave
by the evening train.
In addition to the above we find
the following in the Louisville Jour.
nal:
The young lady at Loblnon whose
sad case we mentioned in our last
issue, we are pained to learn, died
yesterday morning at one O'clock
The youth, beauty and high social
position OF Miss Shuck adds a pecu-
liar sadness to this distressing acct
dent. just at the moment she was
to take the arm of him who was to
be her guide and protector through
Lille, the hand OF death interfered and
made her the bride OF the tomb.
The particulars are as follows
The wedding was to have taken
place at eleven o'clock on Monday
morning, and the happy company
to have started to this city on the
evening train. Just a few moments
before the time for the ceremony,
Mr.. Thomas, the bridegroom, swung
open the door Of the chamber where
he was alone with the bride, and the
wind made by the movement blew
her veil into the fire. place. OF
course she was instantly enveloped
In the flames. Mr.. Thomas was so
bevildered that he could render lit.
Tie or no assistance. The screams
OF the sufferer brought her father,
sister, and several other persons to
the top OF the stairs, where she had
gone in her excitement. Water and
other means were used to extinguish
the fire-but before it could be done
she was dreadfully burned. After
her wounds were dressed the cere.
mony was performed-but, alas | the
wedding and funeral were near to-
gether. She fingered in great suf.
fering until Wednesday morning at
one o'clock.

A Tribute Of Respect.

TO MISS HANNAH ADAMS.
Thou modest, unassumng maid, accept
This humble tribute OF a bard's respect,
On whose productions thou didst on bostow
Imputed merit, which he ne'er would know;
Who, taught BY nature and by natures laws,
From nature only his frail picture draws.
unskiled in art, he yields to natures sway,
And with her impulse pens the instructive hay
Who ne'er aspired to ascend the sacred mount
Nor slake his thirst at the castallan fount;
Whose humble muse with inexperienced wins
Must take her fight, what e'er her wande ring,
bring.
Thou child OF nature, here again say
Accept this unsophisticaied lay;
What e'er of merit In my verse you find,
Not to my genius, but thy virtuous mind,
Impute the worth; and do thyself receive
The aurels thou wouldst fair to others give.
Joyous thy waking-peacefu he thy sleep
May guardian angels o'er thee viglls keep,
And when to life thou bidst last farewell,
May thou in PARADISE forever dwell
III. O'C.
