- • Debate on Arbitrary Arrest&
1 Beiew ire give place to a remarkable
ddbitte on the subject of arbitrary arrests,
which took place on Wednesday. It
will be seen that Mr. Stevens, who is so
desirous of securing the freedom of the
negro, made an attempt to have the res
olution smothered:by getting itreferred
to the Committee, for instructions mere
ly to inquire into the expediency of
making such a report as the resolution
directed to be made. Is it not strange
that the man who is so anxious about
the freedom of the blacks, should be so
bitterly opposed to make inquiry into
the most outrageous wrongs when in
flicted on white men and women ?
Mr. Ganson, (opp.) of New York; of
fered the following resolution :
Resolved, 'That the Military Commit
tee be and they are hereby directed to
ascertain and report to this House, as
soon as possible, the number of persons
now confined in' the Old Capitol and
Carroll prisons ; when such persons
were respectively arrested and confined
and upon what charges their arrests
were made i whether any of such per
sons are officers of the army and have
been confined without a trial beyond
the time in that respect prescribed by
law or by the regulations in the military
service ; and whether any persons so in
prison are confined without any written
charges made against them ; and
whether there are any persons now in
said prisons who have not had any trial ;
if so, report the names'of such persons,
the time when they were arrestedan C. 1
the alleged cause of arrest respectively ;
and that the said committee be and are
hereby authorized to send for persons
and papers.
The resolution was adopted.
Mr. Stevens, (rep.) of Pa., at a subse
quent stage of the proceedings, moved
to reconsider the vote to alter the reso
lution, so as to instruct the commitee to
inquire into the expediency of the
inquiry.
Mr. Hanson said a captain from New
York, who had been three years and a
half in the'service, had been in prison
since the 27th of October last, and was
altogether ignorant of the charge, if
any, against him. He called on the
prisoner on Saturday, and was permit
ted to inquire into his case, but in the
presence of the turnkey, who sat between
them. He held that to be a personal
indignity.
Mr. Stevens said he was sorry the
gentleman thought that was a personal
indignity. But no doubt the turnkey
felt a pride in being seated between the
two gentlemen.
Mr. piTinson observed that the reso
lutiorrhe had offered had the sanction
of the Chairman of the Committee on
Military Affairs.
Mr. Stevens—Why not instruct the
committee to inquire into the expedi
ence of the measure?
Mr. Hanson—The House is satisfied
as to the expediency.
Mr. Stevens-1 am not.
Mr. Davis, (rep.) of Md., said it was the
right of the House, and, more than that,
the duty'of the House, to see that the
liberty of the citizen was not unlawfully
violated. If persons have been confined
in prison beyond the period allowed by
law, the House has the right to know
it and apply the remedy. The gentle
man front New York (Mr. (liaison ) had
instanced two cases. The law sus
pending the writ of hahcas corpus Was
too much conimitted to the discretion
of the President; yet, being the law of
the land, it must be obeyed. The law
said any person who shall he arrested
under the order of the President, or of a
military officer, may be held some time
in confinement; but when arrested in a
State where the courts were open, and
no rebellion existed, the names of such
persons arrested must be reported by the
Secretary of State, or Secretary of War,
to the Circuit or District Courts; and
after a Orand .Jury shall have met, or
after indictment, the persons detained
shall be discharged, uhless prisoners of
war. There were ,rot a few persons in
Maryland confined tffider circumstances
similar to these mentioned, and who are
held in custody by order of illegal com
missions. He wanted the Committee
on Military Affairs to spread the truth
before the people, and to ascertain
whether any law to authorize the con
finement of any citizens on the judg
ment of a military commission.
Mr. ('ox, (opp.) of Ohio, said he, with
the gentleman from Maryland, would
enlarge the scope of the resolution. He
would like to knoW whether the require
ments of the law were regarded, and
whether lists of persons had been fur
- it khed to courts, or whether the law was
a dead letter, or Whether even the legal
department hail endeavored to set aside
the law for their own purposes. He had
eases in his own eye—not only that of
Vallandigham—to which thegentlentan
from Maryland had alluded, but others,
where the Secretary of the Treasury,
under some peculiar higher law un
known to the statute, had caused to be
arrested, men suspected of counterfeit
ing greenbacks or shinplasters,'and held
them in the Old Capitol prison month
after month on the sole order of the So
licitor of the Treasury, without giving
them the right of trial. Was there no
remedy for the nullification of our own
laws ^ or shall we hot have an inquiry
into these alm-es
Mr. ('offroth, • opp. ) of l'a., said that
in his district a brave officer, who was
wounded and his limb amputated, was
con lined in prison without 'barges hav
ing been preferred against him.
Mr. Cox said he had not submitted his
remarks with any partisan view or to
find fault. The law authorizing a
suspension or the writ of habeas corpus
was not passed with the concurrence of
the democratic members, but by the
votes of republicans. it was their law.
They took the liberty of suspending the
writ, but they qualified it in such a way
as to guard against undue and irrespon
sible arrests. He appealed to gentlemen
an the other side to sustain their own
law, and and not let it:be a dead letter.
It was their duty to find out in what
respect and by whom the law had been
broken.
Mr. ( anson said lie had been credibly
informed of several other cases than
those which he had already mentioned,
where civilians, as well as army officers,
were illegally held in prison. He felt it
to be his duty to offer the resolution,
especially when these prisons are with
in speaking distance of this hall. The
House should have all the facts in order
to determine whether any further legis
lation is required on the subject. He
would not undertake to criticize the acts
of any of the officers of the goveanment,
his desire being to discover whether
there areabuses, and if so to rectify them.
Mr. Eden, (app.) of 111., said the gen
tleman had assumed as a fact that the
persons so confined were illegally arrest
ed and kept there for a long time con
trary to law. If the department deserved
censure, he was willing it should be
censured. There might be some things
in the cases not for the courts to pass
on. The resolution, as it now read,
was a direct censure,, , although not so
intended. Hence he had suggested an
amendment.
Mr. Kasson, (rep,) of lowa, added his
testimony to the propriety of the in
vestigation proposed. ' The time has
arrived when it was due to the people of
this country that Congress should ex
amine into the extent of the power ex
ercised by the Secretary of War, espe
cially when, as he knew an order of
the President to the Secretary of War
for a certain thing was met with the
reply :—" I shan't do it ;" and when an
explanation was asked, he was met with
the reply :—" I don't propose to argue
the question ; I am responsible to the
President, and to him alone.'' When a
representative of the people was met in
that way, it constituted no objec
tion to him that the resolution
might be construed to embody a cen
sure on the Department. He argued the
adoption of the resolution for the reason
that by a general order no information
whatever could be—obtained from the
War Department excepting from the
Secretary himself or by his order. If
some poor woman has had a son killed,
and desires information concerning him
it could not be obtained save iu the way
justmentioned. The committee should
inquire hew far the arbitrary habits ex
tend. He would be the first to tote for
the exculpation of the Secretary if he
should be found innocent. The army
:may tremble under his poweras absolute
dictator ; but Congress has a right to in
vestigate where the liberties of the peo
ple are concerned. If, in June last,
when prisoners of war were exchanged,
from ten to twenty thousand of them
were left to 'perish in rebel pens, he
found another reason why the transac
tions of the War Department should be
- investigated.
Mr. Davis, of Md., said arrests were
made by provost marshals. almost with-
out coaippaaint ' and at unjustifiable
times.. ,The_Arnetiean character, was
being broken down. 'Under thepres
sure of the war, investigation became
necessary. Gentlemen had repeatedly
applied to him to remedy the injustice.
Mr. Dawes, (rep.) of Mass., remarked
that the gentleman from New York had
said,to his knowledge,persons were ille
gaily confined, and the gentleman
hereby asked for an examination into
the facts. If he (Mr. Dawes) had made
such a statement, -and had asked-for an
examination, he should have been very
much astonished if it had been refused.
He did not see what ground of objection
could be urged.
Mr. Garfield, (rep.) of Ohio, desired
that the investigation already com
menced by the Committee on Military
Affairs should be continued. Congress
had passed a law for the summary dis
missal of officers from the army—for
there were traitors in the army—and this
can enable them to be driven out.' But
it was afterwards thought by the House
of Representatives that the laW might
be safely repealed. This law was mis
chievous. If an officer could now be
dismissed without trial, merely on the
recommendation of his superior officer,
it had thejendency to make the subor
dinate a sycophant and toady. The
Senate, however, had notyet acted upon
the bill. It had always been the law,
that when an officer was arrested and
confined for eight days, the charges
against him must be put into his
hands. As to the prisoners, one
man, a major, says he has been con
fined five months, and has tried in
vain to learn' for what cause he is de
tained. Swift vengeance has fallen upon
him like a thunderbolt from a clear sky.
Similar cases are numberless, where one
man calling himself a colonel or agent
of the War Department, lays his hands
on persons and thrusts them into prison;
and the victims are kept there until the
same agent of the War Department or
some other power releases them If we
are not men in our places, let the War
Department do as it -pleases. He did
not say the War Department was re
sponsible for these abuse's or knew of
them. But they might be traced to its
subordinates. He made no accusation.
The business of the House was to see
that the laws were respected, and to
stand tip for men who have no friends at
court. _ _
The motion of Mr. Stevens, to recon
sider the vote by which Mr. tianson's
resolution was passed, was laid on the
table by a vote of 136 yeas, against .5 nays
—the latter being Messrs. Cobb, Eckley,
Mcßride, Spalding and Stevens.
State of Analrs in Mexico
The correspondent of the N. V. Her
ald, writing from Havanna, says:
The Emperor Maximilian has secured
a firm hold on the afThetions of the
Mexican people by his sagacious policy
and prompt action on the church ques
tion. The church party, having invited
the Emperor to the country, are obliged
to support his government, although
furious at his late manifesto sOluestrat
i lig the most of their-property, While the
liberals are flocking to his standard, he
having shown himself impartial and
unpredjudiced. The Pope's N' uncio was
preparing to return to ItAme. Porfirio
Diaz was held at bay by the French
troops, who were near his intrencii
ments. Our special correspondence from
Tampico, dated on the L'9th of December,
informs us that that city was filled with
foreigners—English, French and Ger
man—busily engaged in intriguing
against the interests both of the liberal
Mexicans and the United States. In
the port were many blockade runners,
sheltered by the English flag, and stre
nuous efforts were being made by the
agents of Austria and Napoleon to ob
tain a monopoly of the cotton trade
from the rebel South at this point of exit.
Maximilian's difficulties were regarded
as very urgent at Tampico, and it was
thought there that he would fail to con
solidate his government, notwithstand
ing his friendly approaches to the liberal
party. The French militttry com
mander, Du Pin, had left Tampico . for
Victoria, after a rule of much severity
and cruelty. Oen. Falcon is elected
President of the Republic of Venezuala.
There is perfect tranquility throughout
that country.
On the Mobile and Ohio Railroad
near the Tennessee line, there lived a
merchant who also kept a Post-office,
and of an evening his store would be
full of his customers, eager to hear him
read the news. While reading the paper
to them one evening, he came to a para
graph as follows :
"Owing to the large number of emi
grants traveling westward, corn will
probably comma - lid a very high price."
One old gentleman at this point in
terrupted him, and wanted to know
what emigrant meant. The merchant
stopped reading, and after studying for
some time answered, " Well, my friend,
to tell you the truth, I don't know, but
I believe they are an animal between a
"possum and a coon—anyhow they're
death on corn !"
Who are the Happy ?
Lord Byron said : " The mechanics
and workingmen who can maintain
their families are, in my opinion, the
happiest body of men. Poverty is
wretchedness, but even poverty is pre
ferable to the heartless, unmeaning dis
sipation of the high orders." Another
author says : " I have no propensity to
envy any one, least of all the rich and
great ; but if I were disposed to this
weakness, the subject of my envy would
be a healthy young man, in full posses
sion of his strength and faculties, going
forth in the morning to work for his
wile and children, or bringing homeli
wages at night."
ter A clergyman was once sent for
in the middle of the night by one of the
ladies of his congregation.
" Well, my good woman," said he,
"so you are very ill, and require the
consolations of religion? - What can I
do for you ?"
" No," replied the old lady : "I am
only nervous and can't sleep."
" How can I help that'."' asked the
parson.
" 0, sir, you always put me to sleep
so nicely when I go to church, that I
thought if you would only preach a
little for me!"
The parson "made tracks." •
UNRAV ELIN(;.—A man coming home
late one night, a little more than " half
seas over," feeling thirsty, procured a
glass of water and drank it. In doing
so he swallowed a small hall of silk that
lay in the bottom of a tumbler, the end
catching in his teeth. Feeling some
thing in his mouth and not knowing
what it was, he began pulling at the
end, and the little ball unrolling he,
soon hail several feet in his hands, and
still no end, apparently. Terrified, he
shouted at the top of his voice, " Wife!
wife! I say, wife, come down here'! I
am all unravelling !"
SUE MUNIM 7 S GUERI ILAS.—We
learn that Sue Mundy and her (or his)
guerillas have adopted a new , uniform
recently. Sue wears a red flannel suit
with a red cap, adorned with a long
black feather fastened to its front, with
a $lOO greenkack bill pinned on with a
magniflcant diamond pin. The men
are also dressed in red flannel, with a
black stripe two inches wide down
tneir pants, but their caps unadorned
with feathers. All of them are "flush"
with greenbacks, diamond pins and
rings, and: seem to- "take things easy"
in this world. Billy Magruder,s men
aro about to adopt a similar style of dress.
A guest is often the paste and ce
ment of two quarrelling married halves
because shame and necessity coMpe
them to be courteous t 6 each other.

13 EPORT OF THE DIRECTORS" OF-
Ttik, FARMERS' MUTUAL INSURANCE
COMPANY. "
Submitted to the courtderatitm of the Members at
their Annual Meeting on szturday, the 3LII day
of December, A., D., 1864.
in conducting the business of the Compares
during the year just brought to a close, the Di
rectors of the Farmers' Mutual Insurance Com
pany have met with nothing that seems to re
quire any especial notice. The moralities by
fire have not been numerous, and the losses oc
casioned thereby have been comparatively
light, insomuch that had it not been desirable
to liquidate debts previously incurred, a tax
during the current year would hardly
been necessary. But a small fire ha oc
curred near the close of the last year, an an
ticipating further losses during the year then
commencing, the Board deemed it advisable to
levy a tax. of one-tenth of one per cent, on the
valuation of all the property insured by the
Company. This furnished money enough to
pay all outstanding debts as well as the losses
which the Company has sustained during the
year, leaving a balance in the hands of the
Treasurer, which together with the taxes not
yet collected, will be sufficient to discharge all
the-liabilities of the Company, and enable it to
commence the New Year free and nntram-
5,936,646 M
meled by any existing obligations of a pecu
niary character.
To attain this desirable consummation, has
been the ainxof the Board of Directors for the
last three or four years, but subsequent losses
always absorbed the funds, intended for paying
old debts, and left the Board in a state of ina
bility to discharge all its obligations.
The first fire that occurred in property in
sured by this Com during the qurrent year
took place in the Dwelling House of Mrs. Ma
tilda Weiler, of Upper Leacoek township, on
the 26th day of March, A. D., 1864. The fire was
exting,uished without materially injuring the
building. The appraisers awarded the dam
ages at M. The next lire occurred in the
Work Shop and Saw Mill of Jacob H. Zercher,
of West Lampeter township, on the 17th day of
September last. Fortunately the fire was dis
covered in the afternoon, and there being a
number of persons in the vicinity, and water
plenty and convenient, the fire was subdued be
fore the building was - entirely destroyed, and
the spreading of the devouring element to the
adjacent building buildings prevented, other-
Wise the loss might have been very serious.—
The appraiSers estimated the damage at $BOO
for the building and $lOO for contents. The
origin of the fire is not known_ as there was no
fire used about that building on that day. The
next in the series of 'disasters was a small barn
on the estate of Patrick Kelly, deceased, near
the city of Lancaster, on the 26th of October,
which together with the contents was totally
destroyed. The fire occurred at night, and was
the work of an incendiary, or resulted from
the careless use of matches or cigars, by some
straggling vagrant, or idle and mischievous
boys. The appraiser.; estimated the loss at
$5OO. The last are that came to the knowledge
of the Directors, happened in the house of
Nancy Killhetier, in Alillersville, on the night
of the 17th of November. The house and part
of the contents were consumed. It is suppos
ed to have caught fire from the stove pipe or a
tine in the chimney. The appraisers reported
the loss at the foil amount for which the prop
erty had been insured, viz: s6oofor the buildifig
and $175 for the contents, and were of the opin
ion tlatt the actual loss exceeded that amount,
but were prohibited by the rules of the Com
pany from returning a larger sum than that
which the property had been insured for. In
all the above cases, as well as ln the smaller
ones which the Treasurer's statement will ex
hibit, the Board of Directors issued warrants
for the payment of three-fourths of the amount
returned by the appraisers. The amount in.
sured during the past year cemsiderably ex.
eeeds that of the previous year, thus afford' m
gratifying evidence of the estimation in wide]

HERB BITTERS.-
1 4hese Bitters are rapidly winning their way
to public favor, and before long will be the only
ones in popular demand. The cures they have
effected for years past has induced the proprie

people. They are not a new remedy, the recipe
for making the "Bitters" having been in the
possession of the proprietor for many years.
Inc ingredients are composed of the following
medicinal herbs and roots, all possessing well
known curative powers and are warranted not

have been used by persons afflicted with vari
ous diseases for some years past, and such has'
been their success in curing the most obstinate
diseases, that the proprietor is now induced for
the first time to offer them to the public, with
the full confidence and a willingness to guaran
tee that if properly used they will effect per
manent cures in the most obstinate cases of
diseases. They are a certain remedy for Dys
pepsia, Liver Complaints, Loss of Appetite,
