C CONGRESSIONAL.

The Senate on Thursday passed
the bill for the conditional readmis-
sion of Mississippi.
The House, same day, had Mr..
Cullom's bill, to punish polygamy in
Utah, under consideration for q
while, but without action.
Senator Wilson has introduced q
bill to make the importation Of i'm.
migrants under labor contracts un-
lawful. This is dig at Chinese
immigration; and there is certainly
room for considerable argument on
both sides Of the question.
The Funding Bill was made the
Special Order in the Senate for yes
terday.
In the House on the 18th, during
discussion in Committee Of the
Whole, on the Legislative Appropri-
alton bill, Mr.. Farnsworth's motion
'sro strike out the whole paragraph
for the construction Of branch oi
the Treasury Department" was re-
jected, by a vote OF 40 yeas TO IS nays.
This, If We understand it correctly, Is
an indication that the majority oi
the House will not favor the removal
of the Capital.
During the same day, the House
had considerable discussion on yari-
Gus propositions for increase Of saia-
HES; and ali Of them were rejected.

A bin has been introduoed jnthe
Iowa House Of Representatives IA.
f.. No. 1a6, by Stutsman-for : copy
Of which We are indebted to Dir.
Durham, which provides that every
organized County in the State, at the
next general election, shall elect :
County Attorney, to hold Ofzice for
two years. His duties, as specified
ia the bill, are about the same as
those required of the same official by
our Board Of Supervisors last year, II
We recolfect correctly. Vacancy in
the Office is to be filed by the Board
efsuperstsofs. Tie salnsy per a,
MN, y Ieft blank IN the bill; and the
Supervisors are allowed to add to it.
The Attorney is to give bond, in
amount fixed by the Supervisors.
Mr.. Durham informs US that no
action has been taken on the bill yet,
except to refer it to Committee. We
hope to see it at least brought up and
duly considered hereafter during the
session. Ofcourse the blank for salil-
ry would be flied before passage.
1t seems to us that the bill einbodies
good idea, which ought to become
law. But would it not be better to
make it optional with each County
whether to elect sucn an officer or
note For example, let the ballots
read 'sShall there be County Attor-
ney elected?" And then, "For Coun-
ty Attorney, If the vote declares that
the Office shall be filled, John Doe"
&c. ~
For some Counties, like our own,
have much business for an Attorney
and would undoubtedly elect one;
while others, smaller, would proba-
bly, rather not cucumber themselves
with such an official.

Extract from Chapter IxMMr.
Donnel's "EarIy History Of Marion
County," now In course Of prepara.
ton.
At the second session Of the Board
Of County Commissioners, which was
on the second Monday Of October, q
subject of peculiar interest was
brought up, by an order which is
said to have been originated, by the
noted Babibtt, whose exploits have
somehow rendered him prominent
parsonage in this history. Said or,
der required that all blacks or mu
Iattoes, residing in the County, should
appear before some Justice Of the
Peace, and give bonds for their good
behavior, or be expelled from thu
County. This order was in accord;
ance with an Act Of the Territorial
Legislature, entitled IAN Act to reg
ulate blacks and mulattoea," dated
Jan. q, 1859. Butin order to more
comprehensive introduction 10 the
subject, we here insert clauses Of said
Act, bearing more directly upon the
case in hand:
"SEr. /. Be II aancted, &c, Tha,
from and after the first day of April
next, no black or mulattO shall be
permitted to settle or reside in this
Territory, unless he or she shall fgO-
duce fair certificate from some
Court within the United States, ef
his or her actual freedom, which GER
tiHcate shall be attestet1 by the Clerk
fof said Court, and the seal thereof
annexed thereto by the said Court,
and give bond, with good and sufi-
cient security, TO be approved OF By
the Board Of County Commissioner
OF the proper County in which such
person OF color may. reside, payable
to the United States in the penal EuE
or Ave hundred dollars.
SEE. z III any negro or mulattc,
coming into this Territory - afnre-
said, shall fail to comply with the
provisions of the first section Of this
Act. il shall be and is hereby made
the duty Of the County Com missiOn-
ers in any County where suek negro
or mulatto may be found, tosuInmon
him, her or them to appear before
some Justice Of the Peace, 70 show
cause why he, she OF they shan not
comply with the provisions Of this
Act. And II such negro OF
mulatto shall still fail to give the
bond and security required By the
|flrst section Of this Act, itshAll
be the duty Of the County Commits
sioneFS Of such County to hire Out
such negro or mulatt0 for six mOnths
for the best price In eash that ean-be
had. The proceeds Of such hiring
shall he paid iata the County Treas.
UYy of the proper County, for the use
Of such negro or mulattD, in sUch
manner u shall be directed By the

his own State, California, had, just prior
to the catastrophe, been engaged in read

might be voted upon the counties, and any
body, resident or non resident, should be
allowed to vote, he began to laugh and
when he found that several counties were
mortgaged to the corporations for more than
they would sell for under the hammer, and
that the Legislature had refused them the
privilege Of helping or having any other
railroad for less subsidy, he was seized
with a paroxym of inextinguishable laugh

The Spirits of the Deep--A
Strange Tale Of the Sea.

About a year ago last month the schooner
Andy johnson, Mcclellan, master, of
Salem, started for Georges banks on fish
ing cruise, and ihas not been heard from
since. About that time the schooner
Haskell came in collision with vessel in
the might time on the banks and sunk her,
leaving large piece of the rail of the un-
known vessel on her bows This piece
corresponded with the Andy johnson, and
Is supposed to be the last relic of her. The
Haskell started last month for the banks,
and the first night on the fishing grounds
had bad weather Four of the men were
on deck, when suddenly there appeared to
them four of the missing men of the crew
of the johnson. who ordered them home.
They were frightened, and called the
Captain and the rest.of the crew, told what
they had seen, and prevailed upon them to
give up the voyage and return home, which
they did 'leaving the schooner on her arri-
val. The owners then shipped a new Cap
tain and crew, as not one OF the former
crew would go in her, and she again left
for the banks, where she arrived in good
time and they again tried their luck. Bad
weather again met the schooner, and, when
all hands were on deck, eleven men appear
ed to them and took their lines from them,
ordering them to return at once, which
they did the next morning.
Arriving off the harbor of Gloucester,
they anchoied the schooner and took the
small boats to land, giving as reason that
they were afraid to take the.vessel to Glou-
cester as they were ordered to Salem. The
owners sent tug-boat and towed the
Haskell to their whaler, and now she is
reported as returning the third time empty.
This is strange and curious tale. but it is
vouched for by reliable parties as true. 1t
has created great deal Of excitement in
the ports of Salem and Gloucester
