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 !

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.

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

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

quarter.
' The Washo Indians of Carson Valley have

There is every probability of a "good time
coming" aniong the river steamboats, in this
State, in the course of a few weeks. 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

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

can state, from what appears to be good authority,
that for inure than sit months past a maeufactory
has been in operation at Salt Lake, turning nut
about two hundred revolvers every week: and it
is said that every one of the Sainte is armed with
these effective weapons."
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

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

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

geographical position. To roach Salt Lake. front

that a dozen man could burl down an avalanche of

the event of aereral thousand troops reaching the

allies, would, in turn, besiege their besiegers, and

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
