The Secretary promptly declined, saying that as the insurgents had a provisional govern. ment, he Raw no reason for hindering persons from taking np arms in their service. The Spanish Minister, some days since, promised a full reparation for insults to our flag by the Spanish in Cuba yesterday. He informed Secretary Fish 'that he bad not heard from his govern-, ment on the subject, when the Secretary informed him war would ensue 11 an an swer was not forthcoming soon.

Mr.. *neon calleiflup his resolution authoriiing the Beeietiry of the Navy, with the consent of the Colombian Goer grumeut to cause fUrther surveys to be Made kti a railway or , ship canal ..across the Isthams of Darien: .After debate the resolution .was laid over in order to put a morifiecept, able form. Mr. Anthony reported the Committee on Printing had made a contract with Bailey & Rives for 'reporting Congres , atonal proceedings, and explained that it would effect a saving of SIB,OOO ,'yearly from present rates. - Mr. Carpenter called aphis resolution, calling upon - the heads of departments for infprmation as to the number of clerks employed by them, whete they came from, who recommended them, Ste. The reltolution gave rise to a lively de bate about the general question of ap pointtrients. Mr. Trumbull said It was time 'some thing was done to correct-abuses which .had grown up* relative to office seeking. We had witnessed for the-past six weeks the melancholy evidence of this fact. Senators and niembers had become mere solicitors for offices for their conatitu. eats, and might be seen hanging around the doors and ante-rooms of secretaries, like so many beggars. ' He gave notice that at the ,neat 86881Q12 he would intro duce a bill making it - a penal offienbe for any member of either House to solicit office or attach their names to papers re oommendidg persons for positions. ' Mr. Fessenden did not know there was anything unusual in the pressure for of fice. He had been here thirty years ago, not in the Senate, but km the House, and it was the same at the change of an ad ministration. He would like to see the evil stopped, but ho lid not see how It was to he done. For himself he made It a rule to sign very few papers of recom mendithm. and, tupelo oply Ouch Li Nyeto known to him. He never went near the departments, except when he could not help it, and he disliked; as much as the Senator from Illinois hanging around the doors and ante rooms of heads of depart ments. Mr. Cameron deprecated the appoint ment or persons' to office without the 'knowledge and recommendation of Sen ators and members from the State from which the Parties carne; that had been done to a great extent under this Ad ministration; there had not been a single man appointed from Pennsylvania at his solicitation, or on his recommendation. Re' bad no doubt nine -tenths of all the persons appointed were, his friends, Mr they could not ake appoint ments from Pennsylvania out of the Republican party without appoint ing his friends. (Laughter.) The course pursued by the Administration in this respect was a bail one. Neverthe less, the`Senate and the country had had tangible evidence of it. Within& few days one man bad been sent in from Pennsylvania for a foreign mission, (re. faxing to the nomination of A. L. Rus sell as Minister to Ecuatint.) who was a constitutional drunkard. Neither him self nor his colleague had been consulted about this appointment, and it was with difficulty they could convince the Committee on Foreign Relations that it was an unfit appointment to be made. Another man had been nominated for a Consul who has been a' oonstitutional thief. These were the kind of appoint ments made from his State, when the Senators were not consulted. In old times it was the custom for the Preel- dent and beads of departments to send for Senators and consult them about the appOintinents.. p ol There were fewer blund ers made and bad en did n stand as good a c hance of getting places. Mr. Abbott oftata. an amendment. pro- viding that appointments to department positions shall be made ,according to the State popnlatkor. which 2 opened ,a wider range of debate and cau se d a discussion of the relative rights of the North and South. Mr. Sawyer asserted the Democratic State of Kentucky had received more ap pointments in the departments than the entire Republicim party, south, and said he had been halt by a member of the Cabinet, that the Senat ors from the re el:instructed States must remember _the whits Republican vote of the south was varp stn Mr. Fessenden said he supposed the Benet* front North Carolina , meant Abe Southern ,States did not ,get their full share. The Senator"must reflect that during a certain.- period ofour history g Certain nuniber of States did not 'fur nish any clerks. They were engaged in other duties, and-it was deemed neces sary to 'make selectiona from other sea tient 'They could not, if they had de sired, make the Departments turn out experienced and educated men and eV point , Ignorant and inexperienced men In their places.

BUTLER, PA. A. sModeP , Cage for Unclean-Birds— Mrs. Shugart. the Alleged Murderess —Trial ot Z. Taylor Mockentiurr y for the Murder of Ills Cousin; alba Mc- Candless. • [Correspondence of the Pittsburgh Gazette.] The ancient borough of Butler is as re markable for its hospitality, and the re finement of its social circle, as in the good old times when Hon. John 'Bredirt presided over its Courts of Justice and Rev. Isaiah I§Tibioek was at the head of its . Clergy. There are many improvements, some of which are -not so much itll - as, they, tomtit have been: The new Court House, which is so ele gant "in appearance, proves to be 'defi cient in its ace,onstic arrangements, and the new jail, built last year at a cost of 825,000, is such an institution as was not • fit to' be , built. It is said to be cal the same'plan with that of Washington: and Mercer counties, and is a disgrace to the State and age. The front view of the ed ifice is that of a handsome two- story brick dwelling, with hall and stairway in the center and wings. Passing' through this hall, the door, opening at the back, discloses one of heavy iron rods, through which one sees the inte rior of this cage for unclean birds. Ilia one room, forty feet square, twenty-two feet from floor to ceiling. The walls are of solid, heavy masonry, without an opening of any kind, except three or four small registers opening into the flues. The centre of the roof is of glass, - and ad mits plenty of light, but no air reaches this living tomb, except such as comes through perforated plates in the iron floor. This air comes from the base -ment or cellar below, into which it finds, its way through iron port holes, grated, and many, of them filled by loose ' brick and tan-bark. The room is heat ed by two large metal stoves, and when I visited it, it appeared to be about sev enty degrees. There are six iron cells with lattice work tops and a cloaiiircin fence partitioning "off two- of these cella, and a space about eight feet square, as a female department. The slightest noise in this department, even the rustle of , leaf, must be heard in the other depart meat. In the other words, there can be no privacy such as decency requires. In this place Mrs. Shugart has been confin-• ed for six months, without once breath ing• the pure air of heaven, or setting foot on any of God's earth. This wo man is imprisoned on a charge of pois oning her husband, and will probably be tried at the present term of Court. There is a strong and general be lief in her guilt. The motive is said to have been a guilty passion for another man who •is imprisoned on the other side of the iron fence, and is said to have been once locked in her cell by a mistake of the Sheriff.. Mrs. Ska , gall is a Germam appears to be fifty years old, has a handsome face, and a 'head so broad and fiat on the top, as to sagest deformity. When I saw her yesterday' this strangely Ishaped head was throbbing with pain, caused. probe-, bly hy the confined and heated Air. i THE MURDERER OF MB COUSIN'. • • Zachary. Taylor Hockenburry is also confined on a charge of murder. He bag been in this place , nine months. ' was` ar rested on a charge of shooting McCandless, his cousin, a beautiful girl, with whom he was madly in. love. He was but nineteen years of age when the deed was done, is a fiaxen-haired, blue. eyed boy, whom one might meet many • times without other than favorable im pressions. There are also several 'luna tics in this model prison, condemned -ibr -- the crime of iusanity to drag out life in an exhausted receiver. It is a bur lesqueo on' our civilization to spend so much in the human intention of making - prisoners comfortable' while .denyhig them all power of exercise in the open air. No set of men can rightfully - de prive the humblest,or most guilty of the . _ ose of air or the use of his limbs. unless it be neghssary in order to protect stxdety, in some embryo state. A community. is not organized which cannot and does not construct prisons which will prdtect itself without suffocating or crippling Fits prisoners. .MEETINO OF THE COURT. The Court met on Monday, the 19th. The forenoon was spent in calling over - the list of jurors, bearing and-.excusing some Tor illness in their families, hearing evidence about granting liCenses, &cc., &a.
