XXXIIH Congress. —Second Session.
WASHINGTON, December 11.
q ESAT E Mr. Badger presented ihe credentials
r David S. Reid, senator elect from North Caroli
na for six years from March 4. 1853
Mr- Reid 'hen appeared, and the oath ol office
was administered lo him.
Numerous petitions wero ihen presented.
Mr Adams introduced a bill lo establish a uni
form rule of naturalization throughout the Lulled
The bill extends the term of naturalization to
twenty-one years, and acts, prospectively, upon
ihnse foreigners only who may enter the United b a
tea after the passage ot the act. .
He addressed the Senate, reading his remarks in
a tone of voice which rendered (hern atmos unin
telligible in the galleries. He was understood as
aramng that in one hundred yeais Irom 'his time
every inch of the American comment would be te
qu red lor the support ol the Amei.can peop.e
Sell pieservaiiori then required ihat no induce
merits should be held MIL TO emigration. He de
nied any connection wi h '• Know No hing ' gocie-
LIE< or with any other political association.
He disclaimed all hostility to foreigners, and
read hum one ol his former speeches lo show thai
he had rio uriknul feeling towards them ; but he
did think immigration WAS dangerous, inasmnch
as loreigners arranged themselves with abohtion-
When he learned that a band ol Germans had
burned an Ameiican senator ineliigy he de ermii
e.l o iniroduee this bill. S > far as he understood
the principle of the Know Not.'rings he agreed tt idi
them
He agreed wi h dn'se propositions lo px'end the
lerm nt naturalization and believed m their prefer
ence of American Protestants for office to loreigners
and Catholics.
HopsK OF REPRESENTATIVES —Mr Clirigman
a'k-d leave to offer a resolution requestor; ihe
President to tender the media'ion of the United
Sia'es in such manner a< his judgment may be
most hkeiy to lead to the pacification of the conflict
now raging between die allied arrives and Russia
Mr Hamilton, from a sense of du'y, objected to
the introduction ot the resolution.
MR Sobers asked whether it would be in order
to niuve to lav tt on the table.
The Speaker said it was not yet before the .House
Mr. Clinsman moved a sTi-pension ef the rules
Disagreed to—ayes, 47 ; nays not counted.
COAI. — A month before the session began, we
took occasion to remark, upon information which
we had obtained, thai Congress would riot be long,
this winter, in making coal duly tiee We are
now satisfied of the correctness of this opinion,
from conversation with many members from all
quarters of the Union Two-thirds of the House at
least appear to us to be favorable to the project ol
ihe total repeal of die du'y. The effects ol die Re
ciprocity treaty, which is very soon to be in ful
operation, will be to admit Pictou (Nova Scotia)
coal duty free, leavirg coal coming l'rom England
only, practically excluded by the present duty
upon it. Though it is not judged that the quantity
that would be impeded bom the ether side ol the
Atlantic, were it in the free lis!, will be large still
i! ihoueht that to admit it duty fiee will opera'e as
a heal'hy check upon the disposition of the mining
capitalists to combine fiee speculation on the consu
mer. And, to effect that end, we confidently Iok
forward to early action on the pari of Congress upon
ihis subject. Unfortunately, no such legislation can
have a direct effect the anthracite coal mining bu
siness, inasmuch as we are itsoniy miners in large
quanti les ft i< an article that is never imported
mio our conn'ry at any s'ate of the market. Ye',
if Congress will legislate so as loenable the const),
nier to procure bituminous coal without paying an
a fiih'inal price through " pro-ection" accorded by
the Government to the miner, the practical effect
U ill be 'o prevent the community from hereafier
being as much at the meiry of the capitalists engag
ed in mirrng the anthracite as heretofore.
We trust that General Walbridge will push his
proposi'ion from the start, ami know well that the
sympathies of the great ma=s ol the country are
earnes!y with him — Washington Star.

nothing new in the way ol figh'mg Great ef? iris

NEW ARRANGEMENT.
li EDUCTION IN PRICE!
An expcrieuce of fifteen years in publishing
a newspaper, lias satisfied us that the Credit
system is radically wrong, both to the Pub
lisher and to the Subscriber. Under its ope
ration a large amount is constantly due from
subscribers located in every part of the coun
ty, which at best can be realized only by
waiting years, and in two many eases is ut
terly worthless, the person receiving the paper
having deceased, or left the county, and the
printer has the vexation of finding that he is
not to receive anything for the labor and ex
pense of years. On the other hand, we are
obliged to charge promptly paying subscribers
a sum sufficient to make up these losses.
Having become thoroughly satisfied that
the"system of advance payments is hitler
both for publisher and subscriber, we have |
determined to adopt it. Hereafter the ' Re- j
porter ' will be furnished to subscribers at
ONE DOLLAR per annum, payable invaria
bly in advance, and will be sent no longer
than paid for. These terms will Lie inflexibly
adhered to. •
Those of our present subscribers who are
indebted to us, and wish to avail themselves
of these terms, can do so upon settlement
We shall continue to send tliem the paper
until the close of the present volume, (which
will be about the first of June next.) upon the j
original terms, when we shall positively dis- j
continue sending the paper to every snbscri- 1
her in arrears, and proceed to collect the am- ;
ount due us.
Subscribers who have paid in advance,and j
whose time expires before the close of the pre- •
sent volume, will have four weeks notice of i
the expiration of their subscription.
We shall gfve this plan a thorough trial.— |
We believe it will meet the approbation of j
all those who dt>ire to take, and pay for, a
County paper ; and we are certain it will re
lieve us from many of the vexations and dis
appointments for which the business is pro
verbial. We shall at least have the satisfac
tion of knowing that we have pay for every
paper sent; and, we trust, of feeling that we
have given to every subscriber the full value
ol his Dollar.
To any person sending us five new
subscribers, with the cash, (>o) we will send
the Reporter gratis, one year.
