The greater part of the present week has
been taken mp BY the House in the discus
sion Of Mr. Dressels resolutions 10 relation
to Arbitrary Arrest" The resolutions
were introduced at the instance and for the
benefit Of DR.. Olds, who is styled the 'ble.s.
ed martyr A very wide range has been
given to the discussion, and there has been
a very general ventilation of accumulated
gas. DR.. Olds, of course, embraced the
opportunity Of abusing the Administration
in general and Governor Tod in particular.
But his speech was admitted to be a weak
affair, falling much below the average Of
his colleagues. The Doctor was pronounced
dead many years since, by the wheel
Horse i of Democracy, Sam Medary, who
wrote his epitaph thus: "Died from want
Of honest priuciplsN" His late connection
with the subject Of treason has we'll nigh
rcsurrected him, and transferred him to the
comfortable position Of blessed martyr" {"
The Wheel Horse" and he are again
friends, with common feeling and common
interests.
Many fine speeches were made 10 vindiea.

put down the rebellion including the ar.
rest Of rebels, and rebel sympathizers, sus-

The Union Democrsts in the House have
stood up manfully 10 the work, and have
made some most telling speeches during the
protracted discussion.
