now 1t appears they are going to have an cleo

The leading characters in the contest which
comes on tomorrow are the two candidates for
the Mayoraaty-the candidate Of the republi-
cans, and the candidate of ever SO many demo-
cratic and Union committees. Several other
candidates were nominated for this office; but
they all backed out, leaving the field to
two only. Brooklyn is considerably exer-
cised about this election. 1t Is the first time that
the republicans have had any spoils to offer in
municipal contest, and how shamelessly they
are using their newly acquired power for pur-
poses Of bribery and corruption may be seen
by the following paragraph from the republican
organ of the party candidate, to- witt

This is about the most unblushing piece ofim-

spoils alone, they appreciate; the safety,
the prosperity, the dignity of the country, they
care nothing about Brooklyn, like New York,
however, is democratic city, and we hardly
think that even the temptations of the Custom
House or the Navy Yard thus openly held out
will succeed in placing black republican in
the civic chair to morrow.

Abs's friends rejoice to claim for him. He put

pose completely suubbIDg fussy little fellow
named Simonton, whose connection with GER

some time ago, when he was correspondent for
one of Mr.. Stewards organs In this city, viii be
remembered.
Simonton, 1t appears, protested against the
interference Of Senator Baker, of Oregon, with
the California appointments, and read a "se-
we're and disrespectfur' address to the Presi-
dent, in the presence Of Mr.. Baker, dealing very
hardly with that gentleman and his friends;
whereupon Old Abe, with the 6rmness of
Washington and jackson combined, crushed
the manuscript in the hollow OF his hand, and
cast Its bruised remains into the flames, using,
at the rame time, some very indignant language
to the awestruck Simonton. The protesting
Californians were then politely invited to take
their leave. which they did, headed by little
Simonton, feeling no doubt unoommonly like
q whipped spaniel just at that moment.
Meantime the California appointments are to
be disposed of at the discretion of Senator Ba-
ker and Messrs. Satterlee and Stanford, the
discounted Simonton not having word to say
thereon. Being disappointed in obtaining any
of the New York spoils on previous occasion,
despite his extensive lobbying, we fear that the
utter loss of the California spoils now which he
thought he had in his pocket, will seriously
affect the state of his health.

into number Of States, we find leader spring

to the chief rulership of the republic, and some

ton. But, after a term Of Office extending over
few weeks, sometimes perhaps few months,
and after fighting two or three battles, he runs
away, and comes to this country, en- route for
Paris or some other European capital, there to
enjoy fine time after his brief career; or It

government established there, and he comes
to this country now to find the government and

upon chaos. 1t was the custom heretofore to
comment upon the visits of distinguished per-
sonages to our shores-whether they we're the

or mere visiters for pleasure, like the Prince Of

for Miramon to leave his own country with an
established government, and to find in the

rule of Abe Lincoln, divided nation, two 60

rapidly burrying us towards the unhappy fate of
Mexico, unless wiser counsels rule the admin

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.

iONSE
MR.. ROSCOE CONKLlNG Of New
York, offered resolution, which was
adopted, requesting the Attorney Gencr-
al to report his views us to the means of
retrocession ofthat part of Virginia for
mcrly belonging to the District of CO.
| lumbia.
MR.. POTTER Of Wis, from the Com
Lmittce Of Public Lands, reported bill
providing homcstcads TO actual settlers,
md providing bounty for soldiers in lieu
Of grants Of public. lanes. He explained
that the homestead feature of the bill was
heretofore passed, but there is an addition
that all s,mnrines and soumen sllnll
be entitled TO the provisions oil this act
1t also contains section, giving a
bounty Of $50 to the three month volun-
teors.
The House concurred in the Senate
resolution for joint committee to in
quire into the conduct of the present
war, with power 10 send for persons and
pspcrs.
MR., PENDLETON of Ohio, moved
that the memorial tf Mlssrs. Howard,
Gatshell and Davis be referred back TO
the Committee on Judiciary, with in.
structions declaring that Congress alone
has the power under the Com titution to
suspend the writ of bnbeas rpIs; that
the exercise Of the power by another de-
partmcIt Of the Government is an usur-
patton, ard dangerous TO public liberty;
that the pers MS aboIe named be deliver
ed TO the Marshal, TO the end that they
muy be indicted with the rights Of a
speedy trail, il there be probable cause
for such proceedings. He spoke at some
length on this subject, saying that those
gentlemen We're members of the Board
Of Police Of Baltimore, and on the llth
of July IL st, in the dead hour ofLight were
arrested by order of the military authori-
tics, ard without charges being preferred
against them, conveyed as prisoners to
Fort McIienry.
They ask that Congress may examine
into the question, or that they may be
heard before Judicial tribunal, aud yet
his (Mr. Pendleton's) colleagues on the
Committee on the Judiciary could find no
more citing response TO the memorial,
than that il shodld lay unread on the Ia
BILE. t..t.'...
The question here presented wns as TO
the Legality Of their present punishment,
which he denied.
MR.. BINGHAM OF Ohio, said his col
leagues position was, that Congress
alone can suspend the writ, while con-
ceding the time has come for its suspen-
sion. When rebellion Lifted up Us head
over large portion Of this Republic and
essayed to shake down the pillars OF the
Constitution, and drench the land in ira
ternal blood, i was no time TO be split
ting hairs ns to whether Congress or
the President should first exercise the
power. n...r. e
Did his colleague contemplate a gen
eral jail delivery, or wish to confne his

discharged!
