THE STATE TREASURY Progress of the Investigation. Ilmumentrno, Mardi 10 The Finance Committee of the Senate held another meeting last evening, to take action in regard to the course to bepursned in reference to the further examination of witnesses. The Chairman stated that ex- State Treasurer S. Kemble, Moore and M'- Grath had arrived e.nd were in waiting. Mr. Brooke stated that the first question to be decided was what the Committee WIIS to do. The Committee had marked out a course in reference to the examination of parties, which had been carried out up to this time, or until the refusal of Gen. Irwin to testify, which was to take each witness in turn and complete his examination be fore proceeding further. This had been done in the (We of Mr. Mackey, and he would now propose that the Committee proceed no further until Gen. Irwin he examined, and he would make a motion to that effect. The Chairman stated that he had drawn up a report relating to the case of General Irwin, which he proposed to submit to the Committee to-night, and to the Senate to morrow morning. Messrs. Wallace and Whim concurred in the opinion that this was a matter for pri vate consultation of the Committee. Mr. Brooke then submitted a resolution embodying in substance the views he had previously expressed. Some discussion here ensued, in which Senator Wallace expressed the opinion that he did rmt think it wise for the Committee to discuss this matter in public. lie would not go back upon the investigation, butob jected to the Committee making an expo sure of their own weakiless. . • The Committee retired for private consul tation, dUrill6•lidl the fi 'Bowing resolu tions wore submitted and adopted : By I%tr. Waliaee : Resolved, That this Committee will ad journ to Meet hero to-morrow evening at half-past four o'clock to hear the testimony of ex-State Treasurers, or such other busi ness as may conic before them, and that the ex-State Treasurers be notified to await lhi• action of this Committee.

Itillingfelt contended than this Com mittee was constructed by resolution of the Senate to pursue the investigation in obedi ence to the reeommendotiono of it, (:over nor. lle hefted the resolution would pass, and opposed or the subject. It looked to him :LS if certain persons were afraid to have the investigation go any further, wishing to screen the men now hero to appear be Mee the Committee. Why make a demand to suspend the investiga tion at this important .junettire? There ought to be dignity enough ill the Senate to complete on investigation begun by them formally. Let justice be atom though the heavens fall. I%ir. Ilutan alllell(1111011i that 010 on rillance Im directed, ill the mcuntime, to Stli)l)W113 others, whom he intimated !Jew something of the mat ter, and examine them as to their knowl edge of the corrupt means used to nominate and elect any candidate for State; Treasurer. The amendment was ruled out as not relevant to the subject. Mr. liaekalew said it had been asserted that this investigation was a lam', and that it would he productive of no good. his opinicn was different from that of the newspapers. The public bad been informed of what hail been clone by the Committee, and the information ofihtined had been very valuable. It gave some insight into the management of the State 'Treasury; smoothing about a vault account, nut known un the statute books. Tile faet, too, of the contumacy of men who refused to answer was extremely instructive. It was well worth while to go on and obtain, if necessary, from other sources what can be gathered. The people would thank the Senate for rejecting the amendment intend ed to smother the investigation and shield delinquents. Mr. Ratan said it was his duty to give some reason for the amendment offered by him • self; the Senator fro'm Erie had presented an amendment in which he named certain persons to be called before that committee as to corrupt means being used in the nom inations for State Treasurer; he [Mr. Buten) desired that to be done, but did not think it proper to name one or two individ uals, when others should he embraced in the resolution; he did net wish to cover up either side on this question ; early in . the session ho had prepared a resolution covering the whole case, and had shown it to the Senator from Erie and other Senators but fatted to secure co-operation. -Mr. Howard said: The Senator from Erie says be is entitled to either the honor or the shame of offering the resolution which called forth this investigation. The Sena tor is just so far entitled' to it as it relates to Mr. Mackey ; that was his proposition; not at all did it relate to the matter before this Senate; I offered the resolution that brought forth this investigation ; the pro position of the Senater from Erie had first passed, simply to investigate the conduct of Mr. Mackey alone. Mr. 'Furman said he could not vote for a resolution to bring Mr. Irwin or any other gentleman to the bar of the Senate. He did not deny the power of the Senate, in certain oases, to issue a warrant and confine per sons, but - under the present cercumstances they had not the power. tinder the Con stitution the Senate had no authority over the person qf General Irwin. Ho had no desire to scrden General Irwin or any other ex-Treasurer, but would uncover them and unearth their infamy, and consign them to prison for their crimes. The public had seen, through this investigation, how the treasury had been managed for years. Mr. Irwin had refused to testify, and in so doing had made a mistake and seriously damaged his character in public opinion ; Mr. Mack ey stood higher in that respect. To bring these gentlemen before the Senate ( Mr, Putman said) would be in the teeth of the declaration of rights in the Constitution.— Every man shall be secure in his person from unreasonable searches or seizure. It would be a farce to bring a man here when the Senate could not imprison him. Ile was in favor of continuing the investiga tion, and thought there was not another man who would refuse to obey the sum mons. its the question, Will the Senate agree to the resolution? the yeas and nave were re quired Icy Billingfelt and Mr. Nagle, and were as follows, viz: essrs.

End of the Treasury Investigation. II A unisux•no, Man-h 12 In the State Senate, yesterday, the follow ing proceedings were had in relation to the State Treasury Investigation: Air. Mumma moved to reeonsider the vote taken yesterday on the resolution at welled to the reporla the Finance Commit tee, relative to bringing e kateral Irwin be fore the Senate. Mr. Mumma said his doubts as to the power Of the Senate to send the Sergeant :a-Arms for .Mr. Irwin ' and bring him Inc fore the Senate, had been strengthened, after loolcinu at the matter more fully. Mr. Brooke was inclined to believe tied the S1.11:1I0 1.X11•1`11Illg the power ve.ted inn it. AI r. Buckalew mill that the question whether 3i r. Irwin was liable to process or not would legitimately arise when he was brought beim, the Senate. The Senate had general jurisdiction over the subject of bringing parties before it. To sustain his position, Al r. Buckalew referred to tho de cision in the case of PassmorelVilliamson. Mr. Burman said the views hepresented yesterday had been strengthened by a re view of the authorities ; the ease of Pass more Williamson did not bear out the Sen ator from Columbia [Mr. Buckalew] in this ease; in that very ease a writ of habeas corpus was denied to Williamson because they had no jurisdiction. In this case the first question was whether the Senate had jurisdiction to issue this process; if not, the Speaker and Sergeant-at-Arms would be liable if they arrested General Irwin or anybody else. Mr. Bitekalow said this was a question of jurisdiction over the party ; he agreed with r. Pllonan as to eases where there was no jurisdiction oveethe subject matter. Mr. Burman said the resolution under which the Com :nit tee acted did not embrace anything upon which the Senate could act, as in the ease of Watt and Diamond. In that ease they had the right to pronounce judgment, and therekire had a right to issue process. The Senate did not propose to do anything pursuant to the resolution under which the Committe was acting. If the investigations of the Committee were to be followed up by any action of the Senate, then the Senate would have jurisdiction. On the motion to reconsider, the yeas and nays were required by Mr. Warfel and Mr. Billingfelt, and were as follow, viz: Yeas—Messrs. Beck, Brooke, Connell, Duncan, Findlay, llenszey, Kerr, Miller, Mumma, Nagle, Osterhout, Purman, Ran dall, Robinson, Watt and Stinson, Speaker . Nays—Messrs. Billingfelt, Brodhead, Buekalew, Davis, Howard, M'lntire, Tur ner, Wallace, Warfel and White-10. The resolution to send for Irwin being again before the Senate, Mr. Brooke moved to postpone for the present. The whole plan now became so transparent that no body could fail to see through it, and Sena tor Warfel of this county, expressed his view of the matter as follows : " Though my legislative experience has been very brief, yet I have been here suffi ciently long to know that such a motion as this would not have been made without a n THE LANCASTER :WEEKLYINTELLIOENCETt;WEDNESDAY, NLARCI - 1 16, Is7o. reasonable certainty of its passing—and perhaps I might add that I have also been here long enough not to be :very much as, tonlahed at anything. I suppose it is foreor dained that this IS to pass, and anythingthat might be said to the contrary will not avail. Fortunately we haye one little restraint left—the yeas and nays—and I now call them on this question." The further consideration of the resolu tion was, on motion postponed, and the matter probably ends here. Proceeding -8 of Congress. WASHINGTON, March 8. In the U. S.

It provides for the gradual sub stitution of coin as their legal reserve br the :National banks at the rate of one per cent. a month; directs the resumption of specie payment by the United States Treas ury on the Ist of January next, provision being made for that purpose by the reten tion of surplus coin, and purchase ofmore, if necessary; repeals all acts making any thing but coin a legal tender; suspends the further printing of United States notes and currency, and retires the was cur rency. The Georgia bill was taken up, and explained by Mr. Trumbull, after which the Senate went into Executive session, and adjourned several hours afterwards. In the House, a number of bills were in troduced, among them one by Mr. Stark weather, to prevent prize fighting; by Mr. Armstrong, relative to criminal proceedings under the revenue laws; Mr. Butler, of Tenn., amendatory of the Civil Rights act; Mr. Cullom,providing a Territorial govern ment for the District of Columbia; and Mr. Rogers, to abolish the female clerkships under the Government. Mr. Longhridge introduced a joint resolution, which was passed, prohibiting the carriage on West ern steamboats of nitro-glycerine, petro leum, naphtha, benzine, etc. Mr. Marsh all offered a resolution declaring for a re duction of taxation, and that no tariff should be imposed on any article above the lowest rate at which it will yield the highest revenue, that the highest duty should be imposed upon lux uries, and that the tariff should oper ate as equally as possible throughout the country, not discriminating against any class. Mr. Holman, to test the sense of the House, moved to table the resolution; which was not agreed to, the yeas being the nays being 115. The previous, question was then moved but not seconded, and 'the resolution wee referred to the Ways :tuid Means Committee. A. Joint resolution, of fered by Mr. Dawes, Was passed; fippro printing an amount equal to one year's salary of an Associate Justice of the Su premo Court to the widow and children of Edwin M. Stanton.

Situated on the west side of Ninth street, between Sansom and Walnut streets, and at No. 130, is a tavern or drinking saloon kept by Messrs. McCoomey et Dentsol, and in this place yesterday morning was enacted a deed of butchery which will, beyond doubt end in the death of one of the parties from the wounds received and if justice be done, lead the other to the gallows. The victim is Louis S. Foster, aged 31 years, who has been employed as a bartender in the establishment named. The perpetrator of the shocking affair is one Pat Kelley.— From the facts of the case, as we have glean ed them, it appears that Foster and Kelley had amused themselves for the greater part of the early hours of the morning in play ing cards, and towards 5 o ' clock had con cluded to throw up their hands and quit. Foster then proceeded behind the bar and commenced counting over the receipts of the night previous—Sunday. This finished, he turned around and was about deposit ing the cash in a place of safety, when Kel ley leaned across the counter and grabbed a portion of the money out of his hands. Foster somewhat surprised at this sudden movement, remonstrated with Kelley, and demanded the return of the cash, This de- : mand Kelley refused to accede to. Foster Urea came front behind the bar, and a wrangle followed. The men tossed and tumbled fur some time, when Kelley, to end the matter, drew forth a knife, and commenced plunging it into the body of his antagonist, succeeding in inflicting 110 less then nine separateand distinct wound. The knife penetrated the abdomen twice, the lungs three times, the kidneys three times, and another time entered the victim's head behind the ear. The butchery com pleted, Kelley then sought the street, where he met with one Patrick Ward, who it ap pears has been employed in the continema Hotel in the capacity of porter or some other sit ell position. Stopping Ward, who was just going to his work, Kelley told him what he had done, when the two, perhaps thinking that "dead men tell no tales," and perhaps hoping to cover up the guiltiness of Kelley, concluded to put a sure end to the man Foster. For Otis pur pose they approached one of the Willdi OS'S, , and 0110 of them (which one it is not known) fired a shut from a revolver at Foster, who laid Needing inside. The report of the pis- ! tot reached the ears of ()nicer Maguire, of the Fifth district, who happened to be in the locality, and hastening to the scene, he arrested both Kelley and Ward.

Miss Delia W.lrire, who was formerly a teacher in Ward School No. 7, yesterday brought a suit against John S. Donnell, in the Superior Court,fr defaming her charac ter, and asking $lO,Olll damages. She charges that, in January, Istis, Donnell, circulated a report that he was married to her, and that they had lived together.— When apprised of this Miss Moore at once sent Mr Itonnell, who declared that he was sorry for what he had said, mid voluntarily made au affidavit before a notary that he seas nut married to her, and that his pre vious remarks were untrue. She then for- Leave him, and let the matter drop. Soon after the slander, as Miss Moore calls it, was repeated, and when it came to the ears of the principal of her school she seas forced to resign her position, which was worth f 5700 or a year. Mr. Pryor Littlejohn, a brother-in-law of Miss Moore, corroborates the above state ment, and says that he was one of the per sons to whom Brained boasted of his inti macy with Miss Moore. Tile defendant, on the other hand, admits that lie made the assertion its charged, but claims that he was lawfully married to the Last on the i/ilth of November, Piit - 31.

And who was tint smart, bare-footed urchin, that on warm days paraded the streets with the in evitable bundle of papers under his arm?

I wish you continued prosperity, friend of Inv boyhood and I heartily congratu late the citizens of Lancaster upon their good fortune in having such a daily issue summit them. Since the publication of that series of historical sketches, the value of thepaper,is greatly enhanced. Such compilations of facts, that must otherwise be totally lost, or buried out of Sight in musty records, ought to be praised by all classes; but, especially by the members of the sev eral congregations, whose history is here portrayed.

PATRICK'S DAY.—Thursday next,the 17th inst., is St. Patrick's day and no day in the calendar is more dear to the heart of the Irishman, or his descendants, and its recurrence is consequently fraught with groat interest. The people of all nations have some peculiarities by which they are known and characterized the world over, but the Irish are remarkable fur their na tionality and for their consistent and en during love for their native land; therefore whether it storms or shines, be it clear or clouded, Thursday next will be warmly weleinned by our generous hearted Irish population throughout the country. In places where their numbers are large, they usually have imposing public demonstra tions, and the day front its commencement to its close is strictly observed in remeni licrance of the great Christian Missionary. The birth place of St. Patrick is involved in some degree of obscurity; some his torians contend that he 'WM born in Gaul, others assert that he was born near Dum bartgn in Scotland in the pear 373 ; but whatever doubt may exist respecting the place of his nativity there is nothing doubt ful as to the fart of his devoted Zeal and eminent services. During an invasion of Scotland by the Irish St. Patrick was taken prisoner and carried into Ireland, where he continued six years in the service of Mileho, an Irish chieftain, and while in Ireland he learned the Irish dialect, hut at length he made his escape and returned to Scotland. Sonic two years afterwards, as the legend runs, he had a vision, which induced him to con ceive the design of converting the Irish, and for this purpose and in order to qualify himself for the task, lie travelled to the continent, where, for thirty years he was under the direction of his maternal uncle. St. Martin, Bishop of Tours, who ordained him a priest. Pope Celestine consecrated him a bishop, and gave hint the name of Patricius. St. Patrick landed in Ireland at Wicklow in 431, and labored most earn estly for seven years in converting the people. After being absent for a this years from Ireland in the year 449 he returned to the See of Armagh, and in thirteen years converted the whole island. After this he went to Rome and gave an account of his great work in Ireland, and again returned to the scene of his pious labors where he closed his life in his 12.15 t year, on the 17th of March 493. lie died at Saul Abbey and was buried in the same grave with St. Bridget and St. Columb. Whilst preach ing to the Irish St. Patrick used the Sham rock or clover, with three leaves on the stem to illustrate the Trinity, which is the origin of its adoption by the Irish, as their 'national emblem. To the missionary ef forts of St. Patrick much good may be at tributed, and it is no wonder that so much respect and veneration is shown to his ' memory by those who have profited by his self sacrificing labors of love and devotion: NORTHERN LANCASTER COVNTY.—A correspondent of the leading Dispatch writes that the long cherished de=ire to have a Turnpike from Se'Helmet: to Ephra ta, is about to he realized: ",The length of the proposed 'turnpike will be five miles, and will meet the I torso shoe Turnpike midway between Ephrata and Lincoln, In this way Seh meek will have turnpike connection with the City of Lancaster, as well as with the Readingand Columbia Railroad. The present nearest point to the railroad is Reamstown Sta tion, hut on the completion of the turn pike many will prefer to go to Ephrata and take the cars there. The cost of construction, it is estimated, will not ex ceed F 2,500 per mile, although the capital of the company will be 4?5,000. It is proposed to continue the turnpike northwardly Schaefferstown, Lebanon county, lint it is feared the expense of construction across the hills will be too great to make it pay, as several deep ravines would have to be tilled at great expense, while at the same time there will be considerable rock cut ting.

After listening to hint fur sonic time, I asked him what he supposed to be the value of the handful of glittering metal. lte remarked that he (lid not know, but suspected about a hundred dollars. I then told him that the whole handful was not worth three cents for practical use, that it is what is known as Pyrites, being chemi cally a "sulphuret of iron" of little value, I and is commonly called "Fool's Gold." I then related some funny mistakes that had been made by people who had found this deceptive "gold - upon their premises, and my neighbor went away a sadder, if not wiser man." THE LECTURE or• WENDELL The lecture of Wendell Phillips at the Court House on Saturday night was at tended by a fair and appreciative audience, in spite of the extremely disagreeable weather. The speaker prefaced his lecture by some remarks upon the Lyceum, in which he took occasion to indulge in a train of that peculiar style of thought for which he is distinguished. What he said by way of introduction was so perfectly' character istic that it led very many to wish that ho had taken up some political topic instead of the one which made the subject of the discourse which followed. On the subject of "The Lost Arts' the lecturer said little that was new, but the curious information which he had gathered was so charmingly grouped and presented as to afford great pleasure to all who heard him. Air. Phil lips begins to bear the marks of age, but is evidently still vigorous in mind and body, and we may expect to hear front him through the press and on the platform for years to route. IMPoRTANT SUILVEY.—The survey of the Railroad front Oxford, Chester county, to Peach Bottom, has been commenced and will soon be completed. The distance is about eleven miles. The object is to form a connection with the road through the lower end of York county, which will unite, somewhere, with the Northern Cen tral Railway, and thus form a direct route to Pittsburgh. The one hundred thousand dollars necessary for the full and com plete organization of the Company, have been successfully raised and the work will commence at art early day. Some per sons are of the opinion that the proposed route through York county to Peach Bot tom will be interfered with by the Air Line from Washington to New York, but such is not the fact. The latter Will intersect with the Northern Central Railroad in the State of Maryland, this side of Baltimore, run through York and Marietta, on by the way of Lebanon, while the proposed route to Peach Bottom will run in almost an oppo site direction. The road to the lower end must go on and there is no question, what ever, of its being a paying line of travel.— True Democrat. ACCIDENT.—On the 3d inst., as Dr. A. P.
