SKXt Mesur. Walker nnd Dodge pre
vented tome ten or fifteen petitions, nskina
for prn of land to Wisconsin, ' ' ln
ennstrection of certain tail road In that
State.
Mr-, ttamlin reported in fnvnr of printing
fifteen rmndtvd Additional copies of the re
port of the. Kavy Department, and Potmn-lei-General,
upon the cnntiacts for carrying
the nn1 In steamers. Adopted. He also
repori-d in favor of priming 17,000 extra
ropte of the Patent Office Report, relating
M Arts and Manafaclure, and 3J.600 co
pies of the agricultural part of the same
report.
Mr. Borland objecting, the report , laid
ver.
Mr. Walker moved to take up the bill
granting land to Wisconsin to aid In the con
struction of a roil road in that Slain from
Fond du Lao to Jamesvill- The bill was
taken tip and amended by including n grant
for another road from Milweukie to the Mis
riraippi liver. The bill was also amended
so ns in conform in its provision to the
Iowa bill, already pawed by the Sen
ute, and wa then post poned till to-mor-row.
Mr. Birlund inlrodnced a bill emnting
la nil to Aikannr.s in aid of rail road
The resolution offered by Mr. CaM, calling
for I he correspondence of the American
Charge at Vienna, ralative to the imprison,
ment of C. L. Brace, was taken up nnd
adopted.
Mr. Shields reported back the bill provid
ing for the settlement of claim mixing out
ef militaiy opeiatious in California in HW
and '47, and tin i.une was taken tip fur con
sideration. The bill was alight ly amended, and was
then ordcreil to bo engrossed.
The Deficiency hill was then taken up.
Mr. Penrce said ho would not now discuss
the amendment pending, but would d?pail
from the appropriate debate, for the pnipose
of replying to attacks made by Mcsms.
(win and Hunter on tho Administration.
The remarks of those Senalois, il not tin
aweied promptly, would, perhaps, crewto
impressions which would be difficult to ie
move from the public, mind. The speech of
the Senulor from California was an open,
avowed attack on the Adminstralion, and he
arraigned it not only for its own, but also for
the real or imagined errors of Gen. Taylor's
Iminislration. He, with ecual propiiety,
might arraign Mr. Polk's admistrniiou fur
the peculations, embezzlements and frauds
committed under its Democratic predeces
sor. He had hoped Gen. Taylor's adminis
tration would have escaped the Senator's as
saults. Its
"Old, hnnest, brave Cliitf lad sunk to rcit,
Willi all hit c liintry's wistiea Messed. n
He was not much in the confidence of Ccn.
Taylor's administration, but ami.ng that cab
inet were some with whom he held relation
of personal friendship ; and as none of that
cabinet wns now in ntfire or Congress, he
felt it due to himself to defend them. The
first -charge preferred by Mr. Gwin was
the appointment of T. Butler King as spe
cial agent to California, he being then a
member of Congress. He denied that King
when appointed, was a member of Congress
in fact ; and even if he was, his appoint
ment was not an office in the contemplation
of the Consli'ution. An office was some
thing created by law. This was a mere
agency, designed by the President, nnd
such as had precedents under the adminis
trations of Jackson nnd Polk. Mr. King
was not invested with complete power over
the army and navy, as staled by Mr. Gwin.
He here read Mr. King's instructions. The
next charge was, that Mr. King, as com
mander of the Navy, despatched the steam
er Edith, which cost $130 000. on a useless
service, in which slio was lost. 1 hat ser
vice was tho conveyance of the members
of the California Convention to Monterey.
Now, if that Convention was proper, and
tho Senator, who was a part of and enjoyed
i's fruits, would not deny it, vihy should not
ltd steamer, then lying idle, be used for the
purpose. From papers on the file in iho
Kavy Department, it appeared thai the Sen
ator himself had urged the selection of a
particular individual, In command that
svnmer on that very service.

.Mr. Pcarce said ho did not cnmplairvsf

Ihe Senator having cited the use nf that vec

Mr. King's (ippointinent. The Kdilh did
not co-t St 36. (W0, but S33 001) only. He
denied what lite Senator had slated, that
Mr. Kirlgs iinmm.iii.iii ns Colleclor was
withheld from the F-eiuile till alter the 4th

tnsjanrMin-'Ai. apportionment bill.
The Apportionment Bill, dividing the
Slate into twenty-five Congressional dis
tricts, passed by the legislature, has been
signed by the Governor and if now a law.
This bill gives great dissatisfaction to most
of our whijj friend, and also lo some dem
ocrats. A whiff correspondent of the North
American, says the bill should not have
received tha vote of a single whig, and the
whigs who Toted for it sacrificed party and
principle to private interests. The bill
diflers in one respect from most other pre
vious apportionment bills. The districts
are almost wholly strongly democratic or
whig. Northumberland county with the
exception of Lower Mahonoy tow nship, is
now joined lo Schuylkill which forms the
eleventh district, both Counties being
strongly democratic, Lower Mahonoy u
the strongest whig township in the County,
and we cannot imagine what induced the
legislature to lop off our Mahonoy friends
and attach them to the 10th district, com
posed of Lebanon, Dauphin nnd Union,
with a majority of not less than two thou
sand, unless it was to give them a Repre
sentative of their own political faith. Per
haps J. C. Kunkel, Ksq., our Senator from
Dauphin might explain the matter. Friend
Kunkel has many warm fiiends in that
township who might be of service on some
future occasion.
Some questions, new to the people of
this County, must arise in attaching part of
the County to another district. In Lower
Mahonoy, for instance, single tickets must
be printed with the name of a candidate
lor Congress for the lOih district. The re
turn judges we presume will have to make
a separate return lor the use ol the district
return innire.
APPltOPItl tTION BILL.
Among the long list ol items in the gen
eral appropriation bill passed by the recent
legislature, we find the sum of $23,000 ap
propriated for the rebuilding of the locks
in the Canal at Northumberland and re
pairs to the scliule at the Shamokin Dam.
The appropriations amount to over four
and a half millions of dollars.
An important provision in the bill au
thorises a loan of five millions of dollars to
liquidate or take up the six per cent State
bonds now due. As money is now plenty
the State can no doubt negotiate the loan
at 5 per cent if not less. This would be a
saving of one per cent or fifty thousand in
the whole sum.
ANTI-POPKRY.
A meeting was held at Philadelphia on
Tuesday last, for the purpose of protesting
against the reception of the block of marble
presented by the Pope of Rome for the
Washington Monument. The following is
among the resolutions passed at the meet
ing. Resolved, That the offer of Pins IX., to
place in tho Monument a Block of Mnrble,
dug up from the prostrated Temple of Pence,
which found no resting place in his own land,
and its acceptance by the Washington Com
miltee, is an outrage upon the spirit which
ilielnted the tribute by Washington' country-
K7" Firkmkn's Parade. The Philadel
phia papers of Tuesday last ore filled with
the proceedings of the great Firemen's Tri
ennnl Parade, on the day previous. An
immense amount of money is expended in
these useless processions. The papers esti
mate the cost of the parade on Monday at
more than $100,000. The Ledger says :
Business generally throughout the cily was
suspended during ihe parade. Indeed the
desire lo witness it, by those who did not ac
tually participate in it, was so general, that
Ihere were few left lo attend lo business du
ring a greater part of the day. Including
bauds, there were at least sit thonsand per
sons in the parade. The mounted marshals
and iissisiants probably reached 200 men,
and tho bauds could nut have comprised less
than 800 men.
We cannot pretend lo estimate the number
nf spectators, hut we think it reasonable lo
put Ihein down at least lo the figure of two
j h(1llrei u.onsands of our own people, besides
some len or twelve thousand ol sirangers;
w ho came from neighboring towns, villages
and cities lo "swell or see the show."
Ulf A number ol gentlemen in New
York have clubbed together, for the pur
pose of erecting an equestrian statue ol
General Washington, to be executed by
Greenough. The funds for the purpose,
have been subscribed, but the location has
not been fixed upon.
