The first session Of the seth Congress CON-
menced in Washington on last Monday, and
was called to order by the Clerk of the last
Congress. at about ~ o'clock Much diff
Guilty exists in organizing the house. as neither
Of the parties into which the members are d.
vided has a majority of the whole. Great
efforts have been made by the Locofoccs to
induce the Southern Americans to coalesca
with them, but without success; and an ef-
fort WAS also made to induce the American,
to unite with the Republicans, but with a
similar result. As there seems to be no dis
position to conciliate, it is difficult to tell
when tine organization will take place. One
vote was had on Monday The following is
the result:

who endorsed Helpers book, "The Impsnd-

of the House." which was debated until ad-

encouragement to our citizens, and hope
you will not cease to stir them up to dill

were read. Mr.. Gilmcr, American offered 6
substitute for Mr. Clarke's resolution, looking
TO the union of national and conservative
men. As the book of Mr.. Helper, from III
introduction into the debates of Congress, ano
lbs recommendation urged as Disqualified
ton for the Speakership, we subjoin thu
principal doctrines of that book,
al. Thorough organization and iudepend'
ent political action on the part OF the non
slaveholding whites Of the South.
"2. lnelgibility Of pro-slavcry slavehold-
vocates the retention and perpetuation OF
human slavery.
"3. No corporation with pro-slavery pol
ticians; no fellowship with them in religions
no utilization with them in society.
~. No patronage to pro-slavery merchants;
no guestsbip in slave-waiting hotels; no fees
to pro-slavery lawyers; no employment oil
pro-slavery physicians no audience to pro-
slavery parsons.
IS. No more hiring of slaves by nom
Shareholders.
IS. Abrupt discountehance Of subscription
to pro-slsvery newspapers.
~. The greatest possible encouragement
to free white labor"
The correspondent of the Phil. North
Amer. says of Mr.. Sherman, ofOhio, against
whom Mr. Clark's resolution in reference to
Helpers book was intended to Operate. So
far as Mr. Sherman is personally concerned,
it is well known here, and will be established
in the House if necessary, that he never read
or saw Helpers book, and has no recollection
of having signed the recommendation which
is attributed to him. And it may be taken
for granted that he disapproves the extracts
which have been so copiousy paraded in the
party papers, for political effect, as all other
sensible and candid men must do.
Our latest intelligence leaves The House in
an unorganized condition.

Grand Jury Report.
CUMBERLAND, October %, 1859

CUMBERLAND, October 20, 1859.
To lie Hon. Thomas Perry,
Judge of the Circuit Court
The Grand Jury of the State of Mary
land, for the body of Alegany County, beg
leave TO report ,hat they have in the discharge
Of their duty, visited the Al.nshouse OF the
County, and are highly gratifed to be able to
bear testimony to the very efficient ma nner in
which the Steward, Mr.. Charles A. Scott dis
charges his duty. They found everything con-
nccted with the Farm and House in the most
perfect order. The inmates numbering up
wards Of forty, appeared 10 he both comfort
able and happy, SO far as persons in their H.
fortunate condition cap be, we would, however
recommend to the careful consideration Of the
next Levy Court, the great necessity of appro-
propriatng a sufficient sum OF money to build
u Steward House. The Steward at present oc-
cupics a portion of the structure designed for
the paupers, which, apparently, should be oc.
cupied by the female paupers, as the present
arrangement renders il impossible to maintain
the constant separation Of the sexes, which is
very desirable.
The Jury would also beg leave to state, that
they visited the County Jail, and regret that
they are compelled to report different state
of things concerning it; not that any censure
should attach TO Sheriff Wilson or his assist
ants; on the contrary, the Jurors believe that
they have done everything that could be done
to amtiorate the condition vi the Institution
The building, in the opinion of the Jury, is
very badly PLAN ed-for the following reasons:
The cells are low, and those on the ground
floor are evidently very damp, as well as poorly
ventilated. The Jury believe that persons con-
fined in the Jail for considerable period of
time, are liable to contract disease. The Jul
~ also think that the County Con. missioners
should provide iron bedsteads for the use Of
the prisoners.
