The Senate yesterday expelled MIR. Jesse H..
Bright of Indiana by the decisive vote OF 80 to
Utmost of the Republicans voting with the
more determined Unionists Of other shades to
expel. His ofieuse consisted in writing, on tne
Let Of March last, letter to 1.-The Hon. Je'-
40 lersOn Davis, President of the Confederate
.. States" recommending to him Mr.. Thomas
b. Lincoln "a inventor Of valuable improve
pent in firearms. On being taken to tack IN
the journals for this, be avowed himself ibiic1-
IDLY opposed to coercion" Mr. Br eht, is a
native of this State (Chenaneo County,, lived
formerly in Kentucky where he owned slaves
after bis removal to Indiana, OF which State
he was chosen Lieut. Governor nearly twenty
years ago. He has been seventeen years n
Senator--for the last three under pretended
election which had no more validity nor clam
to respect than though it bad been made IN a
bar-room BY the crew Of passing mississippi
Aat.bcat. lie was awarded the seat By scan-
dalous partisan vote, and would probably have
lost it then but for the death Of Judge Butler
of s. c., who would as Chairman OF the Ju-
dietary Committee, have reported strongly
against him, and could hardly have been over
borne. Mr.. Bright is an able man, always q
Democrat, supported Breckenridge and Lane
| in 1860. and has ever gone with those who
went farthest in concessions to Slavery. Gov.
Morton will doubtless send q better man in hia
stead. and we do not think be has any chance
to get back after the Legislative election in
Indiana next Fall. TIE Indiana Democrats
are mainly OF the Douglas stamp, and can suit
themselves far better in Senator-should the
fortunes of the canvass give them the power
than TO take a further dose Of Bright.

firmed, Mr.. Thomas c. Acton us one of the
Metropolitan Police Commissioners, for the full

Mr. Acton has already discharged the duties Of

credit to himself and benefit to the public.
His efforts, with those of his colleagues, have
constantly been devoted to eevating the char

observed his public career who will not ap-

Lane was there about the LIST inst, and an
nouDced that he had not accepted his com

there is no practical difference of sentiment

The Hon. Ira Harris made al able speech
in the Senate yesterday, against the expulsion

forcble rebuke Of the late attempt to have him
instructed to vote for expulsion. Without 60

his own judgment and conscience, utterly re-
gardiess of the opinion of Others The instruc-

4 Mr.. Fisher in the Assembly yesterday de-
nounced THE TRIBUNE as a paper always
endeavoring to oppress aud crush out the
country press" The occasion of this fling
was our approval of the proposition that the
ffty per cent. recently added to the established
charge for advertising Legal Notices be re-
peaed. AS we have to print those notices in
editions Of ffty.odd thousand copies for the same
compensation as is accorded to local journals
with circulatons ranging from five hundred TO
three thousand each, We submit that, If are
can afford to print them at the old rates, they
certainly should be able to. But we infer from
the action of the Assembly yesterday that no
change is to be made. 1t seems imposs bic 10
find place to begin cutting down salaries or
legal costs Every likes cheap govern
ment in the abstract, but nearly all bate
picayune retrenchments that uDfa,oraby affect
themselves. And so taxpayers grumble, but
nothing is done, and every dollar that gets
into the Treasury seems to iind some insure
through which to make a speedy exit. so
long as the People go no further than grun-
bling, nothing will be done.

TIE REBEL EVACUATION OF CALVES
TON CoNFIRMED--THE REAsoN.--The
Houston Telegraph, Of the end inst,
states that Galveston has been evacu-
ated and the movable property, public
and private, was being removed to Hous.
ton. Hon. W. P. Hill arrived at home
a few days ago, from whom we gain
substantially the following facts:
On the goth ult., q council of war
was held, at Galveston, at which it was
determined thatit was impossible to de-
fend the city successfully. The largest
guns at the Notifications upon the Island
were 80 Founders, smooth bores, hav-
ing a range not exceeding two miles,
while the enemy's guns were of the
largest caliber, shooting with accuracy
three or four miles. To await an attack
was simply to invite the surrender or
destruction of our troops and the city,
without the power of inf1icting injury
upon the assailants. 1t was thought
best, therefore, under all the. circum-
stances, to-evacuate Galveston, and oc-
cupy position in the rear of the city,
so as to repei any advance of the Fed
eral troops after they had landed.
In consequence Of this determine
lion. an order was issued for the reno
val of all the hospital patients from Gal
weston to Honston, which was accom-
plished Immediately. All the public
and private property was being rapid
" removed to Houston, when Judge
Hill left Galveston. The proprietor Of
the News had rented house in Hous-
ton, and announced that his next issue
would be printed in that city, and all
the other newspaper establishments, it
is supposed, have done the same
The guns have been removed from the
different Notifications, and the troops
have fallen back to the terminus of the
railroad bridge on the island, and a still
larger force stationed at Virginia Point,
on the mainland.
it seems that Gen. Herbert has been
notified Of contemplated attack, but is
not advised as to the point that may be
first assailed.

HOPEFUL FEELISe AT WAsHIsGroE-
TIE SLAVERY QUEsTIoN.-The Wash
ington correspondent Of the New York
Post writes:
The opinion given BY Mr.. Chase to
the bankers of New York, that before
the middle Of January decisive victo-
ries would add strength to the Federal
cause. is shared by very many here,
though there are some distinguished
skeptics. The Government officers do
not hesitate to intimate their confident
belief that in very few days cheering
news will fly over the land of the van
quishment Of rebels in arms. So far as
the mere prediction Of victories is con-
cerned it may not be worth much; bu.
as a sure indication that our armies,
or a portion of them, intend to fight
speedily. it is of importance.
Phe differences between parties or
sections Of parties on the Slavery ques-
tion as connected with the war have
somewhat subsided in the presence Of
foreign complications. The appoint
ment of Gen. Lane Of Kansas as Briga-
diet General, with his known convic-
tions on the subject, is considered cer-
tain indication that the Administration
is advancing in its position in reference
to Slavery. The dangers of a foreign
war have convinced the most peaceable
0ttdche of the Government that it is high
time for action. One Of the most prom
inent men in Washington, a Senator,
remarked yesterday: at is now neces-
sary for us to give foreign Governments
some proof that we can beat back the
rebellion; till now we have only boast
ed-we must fight now or 60 to the
wall"

A TRAITOR AND FoReER.-Eugene
Longuemare, formerly known as the
editor and proprietor of the defunct St.
Louis Bulletin, who suddenly decamped
last spring. after perpetrating forgeries
to an amount estimated at upward of
$4,000, was brought back to that city
a day or two since and lodged in the
County Jail. having been arrested in
Hsgerstown, Maryland. The st. Louis
News says:
Eugene Longuemare is quite young
man, apparently not over FIVE and
twenty years OF age. He is of an old
and respected family, and until he be-
came overwhelmed by the dark cloud
which at present envelopes his name,
he stood fair in the community, num-
bering hosts Of sincere and influential
friends, and giving promise of useful
and brilliant future.
