Washington, April 6, 18."i8.
Sekate Mr. Hipler, cf l'a., presented
from Ames Kendall nod others, a eupplo
mental memorial, in relation to competing
telegraph compitiien.
Mr. Slidell (I.n.) FnM that ha had filed
with the Ho-erotnry, on Monday lnt.t, a writ
tea declaration that he intended to re consid
er hil vnto disrtgrcoinir with the nmnndtnentg
ttftho House to tho Kansas bill, which yes
terd.y and to-diy Lo ronewed vorbally, with,
rtut takinjf action, nnd claimed the light to
keep back the till fcr three davs for that
purpose.
Mr. Stuart (Mich.) moved to enforco tho ,
order of the Senate;, n6 single Sonr.tor having
1bo power to thus obstruct t'ao public busi
lie?. Mr. Slidell referred io the rule, and insisted
co his right.
Mr. linywd (Md.) explained the ruBtom in
tuch cbfps. expressing the opinion that it
must be left 1o the discrution or the olllcer.
Mr. Douglas (111.) could not recognize it as
a right, whatever it might be us a matter of
courtesy. i
Much skilful Parliamentary fencing en
sued, in which Messrs. Drigbt, of Indian,
Crittenden, of Kentucky, nod Seward, of K.
Y., expressed thoir views in favor mid against
the inturpretution of tho role in the niimunl,
nndor which Mr. Hidrll claimed, not as a
conrtc?y but rts'n r:'giit, a retention of tho
con-concurrence In tho Kansas bill, r.s
amended by tho House, to reconsider his
vote.
The presiding officer, Mr. Fitzpntrick ,
nzsnmed tho responsibility of a decision ia
favor or the right.
Mr. Crittenden and other Senators testified
that they had never known a previous in
stance. Finally, the mutter was. laid on tho
tabic without action,' which answered tho
purpose of tho movur and the friends cf the
Administration.
Tim bill fur the admission of Minrcfcla
came np by sper.i il order.
Previous tj iie?diciigMnn, Mr. Fitch road
nn extract from tliu Washington CJlobe, con
firmatory of the words exobitnirnd between
himself nnd Mr. Douglas yesterday, implying
a luKewarmnets in Air. L'ouglas with reganl
to Minnesota.
Mr. Douglas warmly replied, nsserling his
teal in tho causa of Minnesota.
In the discussion of thia matter of trifling
import, nut contradictions wore interchanged.
Mr. OrooD, of Mo., confirmed tho remark
cf Mr. Poncrias, and the subject was dronned
Mr. Pugh, of Ohio, moved an amendment
to tho prcainblo of the Minnesota bill, atv
pealing to Mr. Douglas, nnd asking if he was
not awaro that no man was allowed to vote
for or against tho Minnesota constitution,
except on tho sumo ticket with the State
officers.
Mr. Douglas cxplaiuod thai the mode of
submission was lull, lair and tree. The voters
put what names they chose on tho ticket,
ana too vote was not controlled in any way.
Eventually Mr. I'tigh withdrew his sug
pestions respecting tho preamble, on Mr.
Douglas striking out the words, "in purEaance
cf the said act of Congress," and the pream
ble, as thus amended, was agreed to.
llorsi: Tho House went into committee
of tho whole, and resumed the consideration
of tho Deficiency Appropriation Bill. The
debate is strictly confined to this measure.
While several members showed the neces
sity of the passage of tho bill, including tho
heavy items for tho Utah expedition, others
earnestly condemned iucurriog any debs to
be discharged by appropriations to Bupply
deficiencies.
Mr. Seward (Ga.) did not think thoro was
n necessity for falling into a difficulty with
Brigham Young. The whola of the army
operations are carried on nt a too taagniDcent
scale. Do would have a law parsed prohib
iting crmy officers from comin.-; Lore, unless
for special reasons. This is the central point
wnence emanate schemes ol extravagance.
Mr. Taylor, of Louisiana, raid nothing had
cccurroa 10 jusiuy tl:e rresident to act in
such hot baste iu sending nn army to Utuh.
Mr. Burnett, of Kentucky, said : There is
growing disposition in the Executive De
partment to absorb the powers of legislation,
and it was time this was checked.
Mr. Tappan, of New Hampshire, con
demned the appropriation for the Utuh expe
dition, aud would not endorse the Executive
usurpation in makiug war without the co
operation of Congress, lie went into a cal
eolation to show that the transportation of
each barrel of Hour from l'oit Leavenworth
to Utah, cost one huudred dullurs.

LECOMFTON, MAJOR tlBMVART AND Tllfc
rSBtlDRNT. ,
When lorn six weeks sioca Major Dewart
Toted on Harris' resolution, w congratulated
Aim fof iia inlpendencJ ia carrying out th
wished of bis ajwistitnonta, io regard to the
Lecomptcn Swindle, bat our readsf will re
collect that w( pradlctsd, at tho same tiro,
that he would most likely rote for Loomp
too oo the Dnal result, as we doubled whether
be had sufficient firmness to carry out bis ori
ginal purpose when enveloped io tbe mists of
executive Influence. The final vote has fully
verified our fears and prediction. ' Th re
sident found it necessary to hav frequent-interviews
with th Major, and several others
who were wavering between tbe promptings
of duty and th influence of power and pat
ronage. At somo of these interviews, Mr
Bnchanan is described as almost a suppliant,
and the correspondent of the New York
Times describes a scene, in which the Major
and the President were both crying. We
would give a quarter, at any time, to see that
picture on canvass. The subject would have
been worthy the pencil of Hogarlb. Tbe day
before tho vole was to be taken, the Pre
sident sent for the Major, when tho last rivet
in the collar, which bound him lo executive
influence, was clinched. As iu duty bound
he voted for the Lecompton Swindle, not
withstanding his protestations to the contra
ry, and bis asseverations that he would rath
er loose his right arm than do so Tbe Ma
jor certainly deserves a monument, and as we
learn by the following extract from the Wash
ington correspondent of tbe North American,
that Mr Toombs will see to this matter, we
trust he will take the Major's measure forth
with :
"As Mr. Toombs recently proposed to erect
monuments more lasting than brass to the vic
tims of Lecompton, as bad been done in tbe
South, to those of Nebraska, it is to be hoped
he will not forget two worthy patriots from
Pennsylvania Reilly aud Dewart. Tbe lat
ter rather declined these posthumous honors
until Wednesday, when the President convin
ced him bow desirable it was to be apprecia
ted by posterity, and that a dead Democrat
under such a monument, would be worth
more than threo times as many live Republi
cans in Congress. The argument was irresis
tible, nnd Mr. 'Joomhi a most appropriate
name in such a connection may now take
his measure. Reilly'a wag ordered some time
ago.
BALE OP THE STATE CANALS.
The bill to tell the canals to the Suobury
and Krio rail road has passed the House by a
voto of fi3 to 37. It will also pass the Sen
ate by a large vote. The people will thns
get rid of a work that baB been iu a sinking
condition for tho last 20 years and compelled
them to pay taxes to support a swarm of hun.
gry ofUce holders and speculators in contracts
for repairs Ac. We could name several men
who have mado more than a $100,000 each,
out of tbe State- works. Such men will, of
course, oppose tbe sale, and get up false state
ments that the works ore beginning to pay.
Tbe fact is the canals, like many other things
have had tbeir day, nnd have been superce
ded by railroads, and they arc growing every
day more and more worthless to the State, ex
cept to feed a set of hungry politicians at the
expense of the tax payers. The fact that
nearly all the old Canal Commissioners out of
oCco, who know what they are worth, are in
favor of the sale, shows that they think them
worthless.
THE aiGAR CANE CROP AND SEED.
Mr. Henry II. Schaffer of Lower Mahanoy
township presented us with a sample stalk of
very fine sugar-cane seed. Mr. Schaffer's ex
periment shews the productiveness and great
value of this plant. He states that ho plan
ted but ten single grains of the seed, from
which he realized a crop that yielded him two
gallons of good molasses, and seed enough for
two acres of ground, which be intends to
plant this season.
W e uavo procured Irora i'niladelpuia a
sufficient quantity of seed to distribute among
all our present subscribers and those may be
come subscribers, free of expense, enough to
give it a fair trial. We have also made nr.
rangements to distribute other new and im
portant seeds amongst our subscribers in the
samo way.
CP" Forket vs. Biai.F.R The course Of
Senator Bigler on tho Kansas question and
bis truckling to tbe South, has brought upon
him the contempt of all high minded and
honorable men. Col. Forney, of the Preu,
thus speaks of bis last effort in misrepresent
ing his Statu :
' But the most remarkable demonstration
against tbe patriotic action of tbe House is
that of Senator Biglor, of this State, an ab
stract of whose remarks appears iu our tele
graphic report. There is not a decent man
in Pennsylvania who will not cry "shame !"
upon such ignorant audacity. This man
who is covered all over with pledges ia favor
of a fair election iu Kansas, who voluntarily
committed himself against the Lecompton
Constitution because it bad not been submit,
ted to tbe people, aud who knows that Kan
sas cannot bo made a slavo State, save by
fraud of the most infamous character now
comes forward to say that be had hopid to
tet Kansai coming into the L'uion at a tlaee
Slate I Our proud State bas been repeatedly
humiliated by tbe weak and wretched tergi
versations of Senator Bigler. He was an
early and a voluntaiy deserter of the princi
ple of popular sovereignty when the Ksnsas
bill became a law ; be is now eager to signal,
ize himself by destroying that principle. But
his present attitude demands a new degrada
tion to himself, and a new insult to bis con
stituents. And he has been equal to both.
A more studied disregard of the popular will,
and a more arrogant perversion of principles
and of facts, never was witnessed."
Union Prayer Meetings are held nightly
la this place, by the diflereut denominations.
Committees of arrangements Lava been ap
pointed to further their progress, aud we
trust their efforts will not be without good
results.

Sjy The correspondent of tbe Philadelphia
North American, says i
"Negotiations are now going on connected
with the purchase of Sonora and other Mexi
can provinae. With what awcoess tliif
periment is te be attended can hardly be pre
dicted though the state of in treasury Would
seem to preclude any Immediate eaccess.
When overture ware made, under circum
stance by Cemonfort's government, tlx or
eight months ago, tbe President declined to
entertain them seriously, on account of tbe
price then demanded by Mexico. Though
the disconnt may be large, it is still doubtful,
if it would be politic to lay the egg of anotl er
ectional agitation before tbe one now pen
ding is disposed of.
Although a minister or special agent is
now on the way here from Mexico, appointed
by Inares, it is more than questionable if be
will be received by the Administration after
Mr. Forsyth's recognition of the Zuloaga's
government at the capital.
The House agreed to the Senate amend;
ment, reducing tbe volunteer force from five
to three regiments. So that question may at
last be considered at rest. Gen. Persifer
Smith will leave here on Wednesday for Phil
adelphia, to arrange some personal matters
there, and then immediately start to assume
the command of tbo movement against Utah.
It is proposed to reinforce Johnson's present
command n'oout six thousand, including two
rcgimentr, of volunteers, just ordered. Ten
regiment!) have already been oGcred to tbe
War department, from as many Stales, and
the selection must be determined with ref
erence to oDiciency, and the peculiar ser
vice as well as tbe date of application.
There are no signs of defection in the anti
Lecompton forces, though the President is
still under the strange hallucination that the
Senate bill will carry. This delusion, if it be
such, is not surprising in tho3e who are hired
to mislead the public, but it is a little sur
prising, when found sustained by such pru
dence and sagacity as is usually attributed
to Mr. Buchanan." Indcpendekt.

BESATOR CAMERON.
A letter was recently addressed to Sena
tor Cameron by tbe senior editor of the
Telegraph, advising him that there was a dis
position on the part of bis friends, in the
Legislature and out of it, to censure him for
not voting on the Lecompton bill, but pair
ing off with Senator Davis, of Mississippi.
In reply to that note Mr Cameron bas
written the following letter in explanation.
The Bentimcnts contained in it do honor to
the head nnd heart of our distinguished
Senator; and after a perusal, there can be
no disposition on the part of any of his per
sonal or political friends to censure him for
tho course which both justice and friendship
prompted him to porsuo :
Washington Citv, March 28, 1859.
My Dear Sir: Your kind letter of the
25th has been received.
My "friends in and, out of tbe Legislolure,"
you say, "censuro me for pairing off with a
sick man who, they say, could not be thoro."
I certainly would have been censurable if
it were true that Col Davis could not have
been present to vote; but such is not the
fact. He bad determined to come to tbe
Senate, against the advice of bis physician,
and notwithstanding the fears of his family.
To prevent bim from doing so, a mutual
friend came to me with an appeal. It was a
bad day ; 1 bad been on intimate terms with
him siuce I entered tbe Senate in 1815, and
1 could not besitato to do en act of grace to
a friend, knowing that tbe result could in no
manner be affected by tbe loss of a vote oo
each side, while my refusal might endanger
his life ; and believing too, that 1 had char
acter enough, won in the contest thus Tar, to
do a good act witboot incurring the censure
of good men.
While I havo omitted no exertion to defeat
this "Lecompton swindle," aud while I shall
faithfully and zealously act with my party for
the common good of my country, I will not
permit myseii to tie one incn beumd my op
ponents in the courtesies and civilities which
deprive politics of their harshness, and invite
men of kindly feelings into the service of tho
State, where such courtesies will produce no
iujury to the public. 1 prefer, greatly the
grure of tbe inlidel Saladin, in carrying, at
tbe risk of his own life, to the tent of his
foeman, the proud Cccur De Leon the talis,
man which restored his health, to tbe Scottish
reformers who killed tbe persecuting Arch
Bishop on his road to cburcb, rather than let
bim live ond repent.
1 bope, therefore, that oar friends will not
feel that 1 have negiected my duty or com
mitted any fault by according a favor which,
undur similar circumstances, I should foul
that 1 had a right to ask for myself.
Very truly yonr Friend,
SIMON CAMERON.

THE ITAll EXre.DITIO.1.
Two Weeke Later from Camp fctott.
Liavenwoktu Citv, March 29, 1858.
Seven men arrived here lust night from Camp
Scott. They left there on tbe ICth nit., and
report Col. Johnston's command in good
health and spirits. Colonel Johnston told
them to report that if provisions were ad
vanced to him io time, he had no fear of tbe
Mormons. I'boy think he will have some
skirmishes with tbe Mormons duriog the
early suinmor, but that be will not attempt
any serious operations until tbe arrival of
reiuforcemeuts Irom this place. He does not
propose to make any attempt to enter Salt
Lake Lity via tcuo Canon but will march
north and see if be can obtain entrance
through the J3ear River valley. These men
express the opinion that the Mormons will
pursue on active perseverioir aud determined
guerrilla warfare, and that it will take two or
three years to completely subdue them. It
will not be very ditlicult tor our armv to ad.
vance iuto Great Salt Lake City, but all tbeir
provisions will have tojie advanced from tbe
aiaies io tuern ai mat place, wbile tbe Nor
mous, enjoying a perfect knowledge of tbe
country, win, wuu laoatio desperation, fall
upon their traius, stampede their cattle, and
by every means of irregular warfare exhaust
and demoralize tbe troops. Nor will attempts
iu Huuvn mo Buiuiens irom lueir outy oe
wanting.
Colonel Johnston's Command bear itself
courageously, though it is subjected to some
deprivations ; tbe men' are eating animals,
which, if fat, would weigh from ten to twelve
hundred pounds, but at present only weigh
from 300 to 400 pounds. These cattle
(oxen) have sometimes to be lifted up in
order to be killed. - The only apprehensions
of Col. Johnston appear to be in regard to
bis supplies. The mea wbo arrived last night
state that the Commissary-General at Fort
Laramie told them Colonel Johnston bad
written bim that be (Colooel Johnston) bad
supplies sufficient to last bis command till
tbe 1st ot alar, and not one day longer.
Upon the basis of that letter an attempt was
being made to send on a train of supplies to
Col. Jouoslon a early a possible, bald
train will probably bare started before this
time. There are at Fort Laramie foir
months' supplies for a command ef H'JOO. -

MV. Hodgson's bank bill was before ' tfi
Honaeatlast night's cession, but tbe time
was consumed i speech making, and wbea
the hour of adjournment arrived the bill was
In the same stage as when tbe session coal
tneneed. Several votes taken on proposed
amendments showed that the bill bas seme
strength, but whether it can be passed remains
to be Seen. Tbe probabilities are that tbe
Legislature will adjourn without passing any
law reformatory of the banking system. Tbe
question, although the leading one when the
session commenced, bas been lost sight
of in the mass of private business and specu
lating schemes which engross the attention oi
members.
The tonnage tax question wilt soon come
before tbe Senate. The committee on Fi
nance bas reported tbe bill for tbe total re
peal of this tax, with a recommendation that
it be defeated, but the bill Introduced by
Judge Wilkins to equalize the tax Imposing
it uniformly and generally npon all railroad
and navigation companies, bas been reported
favorably,
Tbe Senate was engaged with tbe appro
priation bill. An interesting discussion oc
curred on the proposition to increase the sal
aries of members of the Legislature at the
present tessioo and hereafter, to $700 per
annum. This was part of the bill as it came
faom the Hdnse. The Finance Committee
struck it out. Mr. Randall moved to rein,
state it on the floor of tbe Senate. Mr. Buck,
alew opposed the motion, on the ground that
tbe increase, if any should be prospective, and
should not apply to the present Legislature.
On the other hand, Mr. Randall, Mr. Marselis
Judge Bell and Judge Wilkius thought that
$700 was little enough compensation for four
months, service in the Legislature, and il ap
plicable to future legislators, should also op.
ply to the ppesent ones. The proposition
was defeated yeas 12, nays 12, dodgers nu
merous and anxious looking.
What Crittenden's Amendment Is. The
force of Mr. Crittenden's amendment should

And ensures ua enjoyment and eaaei
Some Fairica are all very well in their way,
Though 1 confess one I never bave aeon
While in aight, on the table, "click, click,"

Sounds the song ot my 8awixe Mackiks!
Ah! there once waa a time when I bent o'er my

Till tears etnined the cambric or lawn.
And when daylight had flown, by the glimmer of

I often alaved on till the dawn.
But now long ere noon all my needleworks

And handsomely done too, I ween.

What blessings doth science on labor confer
When inventing so useful a gift,
Which converts into comforts e'en trouble and

And our duties combine with our thrift:
