WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1857 LEGISLATIVE REPORTING. In the PRESS of this day will bo found Mr. Jona C. RIVES'S annual prospectus of the Daily Globe, and the Congressional Globe and Appendix. We take occasion, while most heartily commending these publications to the continued and extended notice of the public— to all, in short, who take an interest (and what rational citizen does not 1) in the proceedings of both branches of Congress—to say a few words respecting the condition of legislative reporting hero tend in Europe. The Daily Globe, in its system of reporting the debates of Congress, somewhat resembles' the Times and other daily papers of London. And here wo may remark, that, in such Euro pean countries, outside Great Britain, as have Legislative Assemblies, the debates, when re ported at all, are merely given in a slight skeleton form—little more than abstracts—not by any means as full as the condensed sum diary of each itight'd speech-making, published by the daily London journals, a key to the full reports of the debates themselves. At Paris, the Moniteur now and then contains the NI report of some ' partichlar Ministerial speech—such as the exposition on the Budget, by the Minister of Finance—but the speeches of Opposition members are tabooed in this official journal. The other daily papers of Paris contain mere sketches of the' debates— they have not• space for longer, details, nor, it they had, does any Paris journal possess any thing like an efficient staff of short-hand writers. Galignani's Messenger, which sur passes even the London Times in the univer sality (though not in numerical force) of its circulation, contains admirably condensed re ports of ,the daily, proceedings in the French Legislative Chambers. Galignani, which was not much larger • than a sheet of foolscap, when first established, (in 1814,) has now ad vanced to a large sige, and with this augmen tation of space, .has lately increased the length of its reports. However extended, and they sometimes reach to the length of between two and three columns, only One reporter is employed—an Irish gentleman long connected with the paper, and formerly attached, as a Par liamentary reporter, to a London journal. Ito Understands the French language so well that as ho listens to the speeches, delivered in French, ho puts them down in his note-book in English, translating them with remarkable rapidity as lie goes along. It is between the Legislative Reporting of :America and England that we shall have to make a comparison. The Globe,' daily and congressional, is the official paper Of Congress. There is no official journal of the British Parliament. Each daily London newspaper reports the debates, at its own separate , oliarge, by Rd own separate corps of reporters. Tho only assurance of authen ticity, in these reports, is given by the compe tition. When half a dozen journals report the same speeches, on the same day, such a chock upon careless or 'MINI misreporting or suppres sion is constantly Oland, that no newspaper with the slightest regard to character dare at tempt either. It is generally admitted that the reports in the Times are more reliable than those in grther journals. The vast pecuniary resources of the Times enable it to obtain the best talent, and, session after session, it absorbs the best reporters from the rival journals. At leimr.,three-fourtlis of the London parliamen tavy reporters are Irishmen. ffr,the del* taint ,K,l tegleltitive Repoctinip may : Addy be den asted with' the ,Tizitesv: "Vse Words, ; Its reports aro tt taken down by re porters, equal, at least, to any corps of short hand writers in this, or any other country"— a majority of them equal to taking down, ver batim, 10,000 words an hour, fluent speakers rarely uttering more than 7,500 words in that apace.. The Globe has contained up to forty columns of the previous day's debates, in both Houses. We do not recollect having seen more, at the very utmost, than twenty-three columns of parliamentary proceedings in any single number of the Times, and the general average may be about ten columns per diem. But then, the, Globe gives verbatim reports; whereas, the Times does not even affect to do any thing of the kind. Indeed, tho reporters in England. exercise a very arbitrary power. Of' course, when BROIIMIASI, CLARENDON, ELLENDOROVOII, LANSDOWNR, in the Upper 1101180,0 T P.AL7AERSTON, Dose AELT, GLADSTONE, make speeehei in the Lower House, every re porter then on duty must take full notes of what Is said. But they treat the great ma jority of parliamentarians very cavalierly. They have their likes and dislikes, and after a man has made a speech, which he flatters him self has done him credit, it must provoke him to read, in the reports, next morning: CIA noble Lord, whose name wo did not learn, supported the motion," or ce.3.lr. Blamkblank addressed the House in an inaudible tone," or 4 , 31 r. Prosy spoke at 'great length, repeating the arguments 'of former speakers?' Some times, (as in the cars° of O'CONNELL, VllO COM plained that ho was misreported,) the whole corps of reporters combine to suppress anhuo's speeches altogether--and never mention hien, until the cause of their antagenism has been removed, by apology or explanation. Such gross outrage as this could not be committed by the Congressional reporters. ' For the Congressional reporters, who supply the Globe, are officially recognised by the Le gislature itself; and are, therefore, as respon sible as any other officers of Congress. On entering the House of Representatives, for its , stance, the stenographic staff are to be seere occupying the best seats in, the body of the House, before the speaker and the desks. On the other hand, reporting has never been re cognised in either House of Parliament in England. Indeed, the Standing Orders of each House actually prohibit the very presence of strangers during the proceedings. Any In dividual member of either House has only to announce that "strangers are present," and the galleries are cleared—" strangers" com prehending all who aro neither members nor officers of the House. Tho publication of the debates, therefore, is a breach of privilege—theoretically. But there is not—and there cannot be—any practi cal prohibition. Individual members may ex ercise their privilege of clearing tho house of (cstrangers,"—but were this done twice or thrice in succession, (which would actually cause the public business to be done without publicity,) there can he no doubt that Parlia ment would be compelled to modify its own Standing Orders, and abandon part of . its pri vilege. Indeed, in both Mouses of Penile ment,,there is the strongest possible recogni tion of Reporters,—separate galleries and re tiring rooms having been provided for them, in each Legislative Chamber. Various propositions have been made, from time to time, to have official reports of the Parliamentary proceedings,—but they have been successfully resisted, by the leading Par liainentary speakers, on the ground, most com plimentary to the press, that, oil the whole, the newspaper reports were as accurate and satimactory as could be desired. Anterior to the present organization, Con gressional reporting was almost confined to a system of sketches, interspetsed, occasionally, with reports of particular speedos supplied by the gentlemen who delivered them. (Acrd hero may be stated en parenthese, that in the British Parliament, any member attempting to read a written speech would inevitably be coughed dont—therefore, no ono can obtain leave to have a prepared but unspoken ,speech accepted, as delivered, and included in the reported Debates.) Several young , Philadelphians, who had made themselves ! Perfect masters of the stenentphic art,,, Improved, and may be said, to have' matured, the present admirable system. of ,Congressional reporting.

There is no Appendix whatever in tionrcnod, while this valuable addition—including" PreSidential Messages, the Reports by Executive; the laws passed each session, anti, copious Index—gives completeness to the CO: gressional Globe and make it, with the babotee the actual Legislative History of the Union.

The establishment of soup-houses and the public distribution of bread will tend to create in our cities a Lazaronip such as the cities of Europe arc cursed with—a class that hands down its right of support from father to son, and holds to its privileges as rigidly as the. Brahmin preserves, his caste. The overseers of the poor in England have observed that after a family has once applied to the parish for assistance, it never relin quishes its claim, but sinks gradually into the pauper ranks, there to remain until it disap pears. Your redundant population is 'wanted in the West, and it Is )vanted much nearer the &At thus you scent to suppose from the article above referred to. This place is only fifteen hours distant from Philadelphia, and plenty of work and good wages could be obtained here by a largo num ber of laborers and domestic servants; and I presume such is the case in all this portion of the State us well as farther West. There Is, perhaps, no great demand for mechanics, but common laborers, both in town and country, are greatly needed. Many farmers have not been able to get all their work done, and very few have had it well done, on ac count of the scarcity; of laborers. But we are particularly In need of domestic servants. The average order of servants in Philadelphia are far better than those we era convened to be content with. If a few hun dred of those tidy servant-girls, who know so well how to cook and wash, wore to come out to this country, they would get the best places and command higher wages than any we now employ. Thu cost of living Vero is very low compared with what it is in the city ; wheat is Worth from 60 to 75 cents per bushel, pota toes 25 cents per bushel, corn no price fixed as yet, but will be very cheap, apples at $1 per barrel, and other provisions at the same low rates. Tho temptation to spend all one makes is not so great in the country; there aro no such displays of finery as in tho city shop windows, and no rivalry in dress to induce laboring men and their families to come out in broaddloth and silk, as though they were ashamed of their station and wished to pass for idle people of fashion. House rent Is also very low; in fact, many tenant-houses in the town and upon tho surrounding (arms are vacant. It must not be supposed that this state of thinly .is owing to an impoverished condition of the country. Far from it. It is because tL c western mania has born so great, that every man who was not rich, or did not own farm., and very many of thoso who did, sold out his possessions and hastened off to the West. But the tide is now setting the other way, and - many of our citizens are returning, heart-sick of the hardships of a Western life. The distinction between master and servant in the country is very slight, and that I regard as no small consideration. The wear and tear of honest pride and self-respect, which servants in the city undergo from those whom commerce and exchange have rapidly elevated in the social scale, is scarcely compensated by a slight increase of wages. Again sas go ing out to service is no disgrace with us, and the merits of each one are known to the whole community, worthy servant girls may, anti often do, marry substantial men. In the coun try there arc no old maids—every woman can find a husband. Especially is this the case farther out West. But lam of the opinion that your now suf fering population would rather die in the gut_ tors or degenerate into regular alms-takers than find homes in the country. People never do move out of the city. They may go from one city to another, but they eschew the coun try and country towns. Why is this f Is It because they are ignorant of the independence and comparative leisure they may enjoy in the country, or are they unable to relinquish the excitements of city life f FAYETTE PO.

Hereafter the decisions of this court will not be diametrically opposed to those of the same court and the same judges twelve mouths pre vious. Mr. Kirk, who has had charge of the Wagon Road Survey, has returned, having completed hiework. He will report in fitvor of a route through the Trucken Meadows, and from thence through Washo and Eagle „Valleys to Careen Valley, and so on, by the old road, to Placerville. He had trouble with the Indians; in one engagement four horses were killed, ono of which, his own, was killed under him. Ho estimates the number of cattle coming through safely at about forty thousand, and 'says that the loss on the Honey Lake Valley route is very great. He confirms the report of the Mormons all leaving Carson and the adjacent valleys for Salt Lake. There is no doubt that Brigham Young is ((gathering the clans" for a fight with Uncle Sam, and we un this side are very, uneasy lest the force sent out there may be so wall as to invite attack, and may be entirely wiped out. The reports of the sermons of Young, Kindel!, and the other loading men among them, that reach Mg through their papers, show an evident deter mination to fight and resist the least inter crones. Brigham says that he will he the ( Governor, no matter whom may be sent out there. Thu fanaticism of their ignorant fol lowers is excited to the highest pitch, and if they do not face the troops in the open geld, will resort to the loss easily resisted methods of poisoning and assassination. They have even gone so far as to estimate in their public ha rangues the value of the plunder that will fall into the hands of the Saints. You may de pend upon it, there is trouble ahead in that quarter. ' The Washo Indians of Carson Valley have made a treaty, and will probably be quiet for a time; they were terrified at the preparations made by the whites and the Pah Walls to pun fah them. I do not hear that they have given up those who committed the murders. I mentioned iu my last that the Conklin ' Ronal Convention of Oregon had adjourned, and that the new Constitution was before the people for acceptance or rejection. The fol lowing is an abstract of its more prominent distinguishing features, viz. : No religious tests, no funds of the govern- meat to be appropriated to payment of a chap lain. Citizenship requires six mouths' resi dence in tile State, anti in case of foreign birth, one year's previous declaration of inten tion of becoming a citizen; voting to be vivo voce until changed by the Legislature. No Chinaman, negro, or mulatto, to vote, and no person fighting a duel in the State eligible to office; the candidate having the highest num ' ber or a plurality of votes, is elected. The next Legislative Assembly will consist of a Senate of sixteen, and a House of Representa tives of thirty-four members. The sessions will be biennial; the pay of members $3 per day, to the amount of $l2O, or forty days; that of the presiding officer of either body to be $5 per day, and, in addition, there will be an allowance of mileage for each twenty miles travelled by the usual route to and from the capital of the State. The Governor is elected for four years, and cannot hold his office more than eight out of any twelve consecutive years. lie is ex officio Superintendent of Public Instruction— salary $1,500. Secretary of State, also, elected for four years—salary $1,500. In the event of the death of the Governor he acts in his place, 'to be succeeded, in case of his own, by the President of the Senate.

Tile Supremo Court will be -omposed of the cir cuit judges of the four districts, each of whom will bo elected in his own district, and in Which ho is required to reside ; but three of those judges can sit upon any case, the judge under whose jurisdiction it had been tried in the court below being excluded for obvious reasons.

The Oregon papers by the Columbia last night contain little also than discussions on the subject of the Constitution. The advocates of both sides of the slavery question are using every exertion to carry titeir adverse points. It is said that the vote against free ntigroas and mulattoes will bo almost unanimous.

There is no doubt of his being one of the Senators in case of her admission as a State. • The other is not so easily named, as there are Many can didates of equal pretensions.

This busi ness has for several years been controlled by a large incorporated company, which included, at its formation, all the steamboat owners in the State. Those subsequently built, after a short opposition, were either bought or paid a good round sum yearly to lay up. In conse quence it became a profitable business to build opposition boats, for the purpose of being bought off; and as it seems that they are not able to agree upon any' terms, there is to be a battle royal, in which the public will reap the advantage. In this the small purses will soon collapse, and the big-fish will oat tip the minnows.

TWO CENTS. The Mormon Questlisa, [From the Detroit Free Frees, NOT, 12.1 We shall not be surprised if it shill turn out that Senator Douglas' pile of disposing of the Mormon queetton is the more feasible one. It is to repeal the law organizing Utah Territory, Alicia will bring the whole country inhabited by the Mor mons immediately under the jurisdiction of the laws of Congress applioable to all unorganized ter ritory. This would be an extraordinary retort, to be sure, but the ground upon which the Senator proposes it is, that the Mormons are alien enemies and outlaws, denying allegianee to and defying the laws of the United States We quote the Sen. ator's own statement of •his proposition: "The Territorial government once abolished, the country would revert to its primitive condition prior to the act of 1830. 'under the sole and exclu sive jurisdiction of the United States,' and should be placed nodes the operation of the act of Con gross of the 30th of April, 1700, and the various acts supplemental thereto and amendatory thereof, 'providing for the punishment of octave egainit the United States within any fort, dook-yard, magazine, or any other place or district of country, under the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the United States,' All offenses against the provisions of those sits are required by law to be tried and punished in the United States District Courts in the States or Territories where the offenders shall be .first apprehended or brought for trial.' Thus, it will be seen, that tinder the plan proposed, Brig ham Young and his nonfederates could be appre ' banded and brought to trial tyatilf3 or Missouri. California or Orogen, or to iinj other ittljeeene State or Territory, where a fair ttial deuld'be hail, and justice administered impartially—where the witnesses omild,be protected, and the judgment of the court could be carried into execution without 'violence or intimidation. ' Ido not propose to introduce any new prinoi piea into our jurisprudence, nor to cluinge the modes of proceeding or the rules of praotiee in our courts. I only propose to place the district of country embraced within the Territory, under the operation of the same laws and rule, of proceeding that Humes, Nebraska, Minnesota, and our other Territories were pieced before they were organised Tertitoriee. The whole Gauntry embraced within those Territories was under the operation of that same system of laws, end all the offenses committed within the same were punished In the manner now Proposed, so long as the country remained'' under the dole and exclusive jurisdiction of the United States;" but the moment the country was organited into Territorial governments, with legislative, eutive, and judicial departments, it ceased to be under the sole and °eel tithe j urisdistiou of the Uni ted States, within the meaning of the act of Con gross, for the reason that it had passed under ano ther and a different jurisdiction. Hence, if we abolish. the Territorial governseeut 0m.3 tab, pre serving all existing rights, and place the country under the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the United States, offenders can be apprehended and brought into the adjacent States or Territories for punishment. in the same manner and under the same rules and regulations which obtained and have boon unifonaly practised, under like circum stanced, since I 190." It is obvious, from alt accounts we have, that the Mormons do not mean to submit to the govern ment which has been appointed over them. They not only . declare that they will not, but their move ments indicate setae! resistance. Captain Van Viet, who had been detained by the Government to visit Utah for the purpose of reporting upon the state of things there, and whose official report we published three or four days ago, make no doubt of their determination to resist; and a fart quite as significant iu tbatdireotion as all which Capt. Van Visit heard and saw is. that the Mormon settle manta away from Salt Lake are breaking up and repairing to headquarters. Thus, we have intelli gence by the way of California that the "Sainte" who have been inhabiting Carson Valley, number ing one thousand heads of families, with their households, goods, cattle and property of every sort, "had left for Salt Lake in obedience to the mandate of the great high priest and Governor of moreiondom. Brigham Young." A California. pa per, remarking upon this exodus, says: " It is pretended that this emigration from Cali fornia is to be the basis of another from Salt Lake to Washington Territory, and that the pnlygarniets intend planting their peculiar imuitutiorm on the borders of the Pacific,. This we do not believe. The meaning of the Mormon exodus from Carson Valley simply is, that Brigham Young requires all the force which he can gather in the svalied Zion. We are not of those who believe in the theory eu generally received by the newspapers in the eastern States, that the Mormon Manch will, on the ap pearance of the United finites troops and military, and judicial offieere,yield obedience fully and freely to the laws dour country, which they will attempt to enforce. We believe that he is preparing, and bas for the last three peen been preparing for war, for a war of defence ggainst the United States. For We purpose a wall has been thrown about the wilderness city: for this purpose the neighboring tribes of Indians have been propiti ated and made friendly with the Mormons, while a deadly enmity egoist the white travellers crossing the plains has been instilled into them. With these tithes the Mormons bare formed a his is the meaning of the extiamfrane. cam", vsno.... • my the the'pipoee of uniting, With the liabete peak I s ake tia u mese Abe sniftwelaniletrt the Government laws, whisli a military. fame is Klan expected to back up in Utah.

This intelligence is altogether independent of the facts upon which' Captain Van Visit forms his judgment of the purpo..es of the Mormons, but it wholly fortifies that officer'a conclusions. Here, then, is work for Congress. Senator Douglas is chairman of the Senate Committee on Territories, and he will scarcely fail to act upon the suggestions thrown out by himself, on an un pormt occasion, which we hare given above, un iess the President, in his menage, shall elaborate some more acceptable plan. That we shall hear from the President on the subject is a waiter of donne. That Congress shall adopt speedy measure, disperse the Mormons, and bring to punishmen, thoir chiefs is this universal demand of am country.

(Flom the Sacrament:, Age, Oct 16 Yesterday we had an interview with a gentle man from Clasen Valley who, from intimacy with Mormon families, has some knowledge of their fu ture designs and plans of operation. If his con clusions be correct, not only tho settlers oast of the mountains, but even the people of this State, will have reason to deprepate the exasperation of these American Bedouins Ho says that the Mormons of Verson Valley and San 'Bernardino have Add their cattle and property for nearly nothing, and, at the bidding of their chief, bete repaired to Salt Lake, with the secret design of re.organizing. arming, equipping, returnirg, murdering, arid plundering their Gentile °nowise. They declare that, for every Saint slain by the United States troops, ten Gentile women shall make atonement ; that they will first exterminate the troops from the East, then come West, and in predatory hands, allied with Incliane, they will ravage the border, rob, plunder and mur-ler, until they shall have re plenished the Lord's treasury, and revenged in sults put on his chosen people. Of their ability to elecitto this threat we have but little doubt. At the order Of their leader and prophet they can muster 15,000 men, ruined with the most effootis e instruments of destruction. They have many thousands of the finest horses, trained to camp service: they hate a foundry, where can non and shells are east; a powder mill and a fac tory, where revolving . rides and pistols are manu factured, equal to those made at Hartford. They have every munition of war and necowary pro vision and means of transportation, within them selves. and even the women and children aro in structed in Ow use of erns Add to this their geographical position. To roach Salt Lake. front the Best, it it necessary to pass through a canon of twenty-Ave miles, under hills so steep and rocky that a dozen man could burl down an avalanche of atones on an approaching caravan; and even in the event of aereral thousand troops reaching the alloy, the besieged, with their herds, would take to the mountains, and, reinforced by their savage allies, would, in turn, besiege their besiegers, and cut off supplies until the iavaders had starved out They have, it is said. 20,000 Indian allies. whole they aro ready to furnish with arms and horses on an emergency. These Indians are partially in. structed in the Mormon religion—enough to make them superstitious in regard to the God of a ell perior rnce, yet modifying none of their ferocity. With allies like these and lighting for their homes. and, according to the belief of the ignorant, under the direct supervision of the God of Battles, and from the ramparts with which nature has our rounded them, it is easy to conceive what would be the fate of a few thousand troops. who travelled a thousand miles to fight their own countrymen, brave as themselves, as well armed, better used to field life, and stimulated by their love of home and family. and nestired of vietery by the revelations of their prophets.
