THE COMMITTEE REPORT IN
FAVOR OF BUTLER.
THE DEMAND TREASURY NOTE BILL
I=l
THE WORLD'S FAIR AT LONDON,
The report of the Committee of Elections
in the first Congressional District of Pentisyl
vauia, is in favor of John M. Butler end
against William E. Lehman, who occupies the
seat in the House. The minority of the com
mittee, Messrs. Worcester, Menses and Brown,
have come to a directly opposite conclusion.
The subject will be taken up for consideration
next week.
The Committee of Ways and Means has not
yet formally considered the financial scheme
of the Secretary of the Treasury. The bill
matured by the Committee of Ways and Means
anthorizi ig the issue of demand Treasury notes,
provides that for temporary purposes the S:cre
tary be authorized to issue on the credit of the
United States $100,000,060 of them, not bear
ing interest, payable generally without speci
cifying any place or time of payment, and of
such denominations ashe may seem , expedient,
not less than five dollars each and such notes
and other treasury notes payable on demand
not bearing interest that have been heretofore
authorised to be issued shall be receivable for
all debts and demands due to the United States
for all salaries, dues, debts and demands
owing by the United 'States to ' individuals,
corporations and associations within the United
States and shall also be lawful money and a le
gal tender in payment of all debts public 'and
private, and shall be exchangeable in sums not
less than' $lOO, at any time at . their par value
at the Treasury of she United States and at the
offices of the assistant Treasurers in New
TOrk, Boston, Philadelphia, Saint Louis,
and at the depositaries in Cincinnati for any
of the six per cent. twenty years' coupon
bonds or registered' bowie, which the Sec
retary of the Treasury is 113 W or may here
after be authorized to issue, and such Trea
sury notes shall be received the same as coin
at their par value in payment for any bonds
that may be hereafter negotiated by the See:-
retary of the Treasury, and 'such treasury
notes may be reissued from time 'to time, as
the exigencies of the public service may
require. There , shall be printed on the
back of the Treasury antes, which may be is
sued under the, provisions of this act, the fol
lowing words : " The within note- is a legal
tender in payment of all debts, public and
private, and is exchangeable for the coupons or
registered bonds of the United States, bearing
six per cent. interest."
As the Navy Department has no vessel to de

Judge Miller in the ,11. S. Court to-day or
dered a decree in the second mortgage case
against the La Crosse-and Milwaukee Railroad
Company in favor of bond holders at fifty cents
on the dollar. No sale of interest is paid in the
land grant case. The, high numbers are placed
on an ecinal lien with the low number.-at:fcirty

XXXVIIth Congress—First Session,
[OON=BION OF YEffERDAVS*PSOOMIDII3OB,I
IN SENATE
Mr. WILSON (MUG.) was ready to vote for the
bill on the ground of economy, He thought
we should immediately. begin to econontile,.and
if necessary reduce all salaries in the army, but
on no other ground would he vote against the
bill. A discussion continued for some length
when the Senate refused to pass the bill—Yeas
12, nays 25.
Mr. Powsm, ' (Ky.,) moved to take up the
bill to punish fraud on the Treasury, brought
in at the extra session, but not pissed in con
sequence of a letter from Oen. Meigs, that it
could not be executed. The bill was taken up
and recommitted to the Committee on the Ju
diciary.
On, motion of . Mr. Wilms the bill in rela
tion the arrest of persons c laimed or held to
service or labor by. officers of the army and
navy was taken up.
Mr. SAULSBURY, (Del.,) moved to postpone it
indefinitely.
The bill provides that if any officer detains
such persons, he shall be discharged• from the
service.
On motion of . Mr. Canute, the bill was post
poned for the present.
On motion, of Mr. FORTSR the report of the
Committee on the Judiciary on the contested
seat froM Kansas was taken op. The Senate
then adjourned.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Mr. Sraysas (Pa.) moved the previous ques
tion, under the operation of which the docu
ments were referred to the Committee on For
eign affairs
"The House then went into committee of the
whole on the state of the Union, on the bill
for the istyment.of sundry civil expenses.
Mr. VALLANDictama entered into an explana
tion of his position, hurling back the insinua
tions that he was , giving aid and comfort to
the enemy. His colleague was not the proper
one to judge as to his motives.
Mr. WEIGHT corrected a garbled report of a
speech he recently made on the occasion of a
serenade. The reporter in saying that he had
declared in favor of the extension of slavery
was guilty of an unmitigated falsehood. He
web willing to do all in hie power to put down
reballion. Under the present circumstances he
would have no controversy with the admints-

tration for surrendering Mali 'n and Slidell, for
we have as much on our hands now as we can
sustain. But if these men had tl) , b6 surren
der d it should have been done under protest
and we should remember that this was a ques
tion hereafter to be settled with England. •
In t e cour-t of .a colloquy between Mr.
Vallandingham and Wright, the former ask 41
the latter whether .he would be iu favor of a
war with E.,gland if she breaks the blockade?
Mr. WBIGHT replied that he .eould be in ftvor
of war whether the blockade were 'broken by
England or any other fore gn power, for we
would thereby be placed in a position from
which we c •uld not escape.
Mr: KELLY, (Pa.,) said he had voted for' the
resolution of thanks to Capt. Wilkes. The House
had, thus, endorsed the act. Not so with the
Administration,.. He did wish to see a war
with England. He did not feel humiliated by ,
the settlement of the Trent affair Let us set
tle our domestic difficulties and then be pre
par i d for luture events. But what have we
done ? ; Why are six hundred th3ueand men
in the field ? Where is the evidence of a
determlued war that we have hitherto exhibi
ted for foreign. natipas I We are carrying on
the war on peace principles, and the maia.duty
performed during the past seven mouths, has
been to prevent desertionii from the enemy.
Without coming to any conclusion on the
bill, the committee rose and the House
adjourned.

SENATORS thank you for the kind parti
ality which has raised me• to the dignity of your.
presiding officer. I accept the honor with diffi
dence in my ability to fulfil your expectations,
but with the determination, so far as in me Has,
to give to the duties of `the position my indus
trious and impartial etlorts, and I claims as I
have no doubt I shall receive, at your liands,
indulgence toward myself, whilst you exercise
forbearance and courtesy towards each other.—
I cannot but be impressed with the liveliest
emotions of pleasure at this generous confidence
on your part, animating me anew in the dis
charge of public duty ; I yet feel how idly I
would employ your time in felicitating myself
upon the attainment of civic honors,,in this
"awful and rugged crisis," when above all per
sonal considerations, the salvation of the Repub
lic should engage all our thoughts.
WO meet in stirring times. An epoch in our
National life is upon'us. Events of vast impor
tance in quick succession cluster fast, decisive,
perhaps of our destiny, perhaps of the destiny of
mankind. For let this government be over-.
thrown from within itself, and who can say, but,
that its great underlying principle' the capacity
of man for self-government, shall be thrown
aside for the future, by the people of the world,
as a failure. '
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7
Our state is inseparably linked with all the
others. We share a common fate, either of
disgrace and ruin, or permanent pciwer and
glory. All other questions of political econo
my, or governmental policy, are inerged in, the
one great issue of National life or death. For
what are all" other interests worth, without a
government that;can maintain itself? What
other public calamity, can be compared to, the
National overthrow ? Wars have visited our
country in times past, waged by the savages of
the forest, and the self-styled " mistress of, the
Seas " Pestilence has, at various times, wasted
us • public credit has gone down, while suc
ceding waves of financial revulsion swept the
social State. Yet, blessed by a benign govern
ment, our country has outlived them all. But
where is the hope of resurrection from the grave
of National disintegration ? We cannot be too
deeply, anxiously impressed with the cAtviction
that unless we conquer in this struggle, all is
lost. There can be no peace unless we conquer
peace. If we should even tender the olive
branch, a thought which cannot be entertained
for a single moment, the rebellious
,entertained
would
disdainfully reject it. All the sacrifice that may
REPORTED EXPRESSLY FOR THE TELEGRAPH
SENATE
be made in this war, all the treasure that may
be expended, all the evils that are inseparable
from it, and which, the humane croakers for
peace are constantly aggravating, are light, iu
comparison With.the untold evils which would
follow a, triumphant rebellion.. But if we could
even agree upon a peaceable separation, how
long would peace continue? The disloyal south
ern Statesintoxicated with success would be more .
aggressive, domineering and unscrupulous than
ever before. An eternal conflict of jarring, in
terests would entail interminable internal wars
upon all our posterity, whilst our weakened,
divided, demoralized condition would constant
ly invite the aggressions of the grasping poten
tates of Europe. If this government has not
the power of subduing a rebellion, it has not
the power of preserving . itself. It is now on its
great trial. Now is the time for the solution of
the graud problem. ; European monarchists
point to this country as the last great execupli
tication of the impossibility. of a permanent re
public. Do they predicate the failure of our
country on the mere fact that civil, war exists ?
What nation in all history has been exempt
from it? Is it peculiar to Republics? Then,
whence. the civil wars that from her earliest
history until recent reigns, have time and again
ravaged and scourged the British Empire? Why
is it, that England safely moored in that quiet
cove of blest tranquility, a limited monarchy,
has been frequently torn from her moorings and
tossed madly in the seas of revolution? If a
monarchy be the symbol of strength and per
petuity whence the .War of the Roses ! Why
has the blood of monarchs, in France so often
glutted the savage ;vengeance of internal fac
tions? Civil war indeed. exists. A. war on our
part, to put down an unnatural, ungrateful
matricidal, Hell : born Rebellion. Long plot
ted, it has been hatched at last into wicked
life, and seeks, with treachery, false
hood, theft, robbery, arson and murder, as its
allies, to dissolve the blood-bought Union,
our priceless heritage from our forefathers.—
The magnitude 'of the contest, the tremenduous
consequences of discomfiture, can hardly be ex.
aggerated. But who doubts the result? Su
periority of strength, numbers and resources,
and,the invincible wild of a united North must
triumph. As ,certain as Truth and Justice sit
enthroned in Heaven, there can be but one is
Sue from this conflict. The North may, have to
spend profesely her treasures, and her patriotic
sons pour out their liie-blood like water, but
the Government must and will be sustained.—
The ,omens are auspicious. Hitherto the rebels,
immensely inferior to the loyalists in numbers
and aggregate wealth, have far excelled us in
energy and vigor. We were slow to appreciate
the true state of the case. Nor is it surprising.
Urtie'tii' the Union and the Constitution our
selves, hereditarily and proudly loving the one
and religiously venerating the other, we were
loth to believe it possible that men Were so lost
to the tziemOriet3 of the past and the bright
hopes of the:future, as to recklessly and diabol
ically conspire to overthrow both. Six hundred
thousand free citizens—volunteers—marshalled
on the'l3attle-field in defence of the Government,
affords an evidence of strength which the world
has never. befere witnessed. Let monarchists
contemplate theincredibly.short time in which
this immense army has been raised, the disci
plias to which it has attained, the spirit of un
dying devotion which animates all, and learn
the les4on of our Republic's strength.
The noble State. which honors us with seats
ln this chamber, has been true to her tradition
al renown. More than 100,000 Pennaylvardans
are ,now in the field, and, wherever, they have
had an opporttinity of facing the foe, their ac
tions, have shoWn them as martial, in spirit as
they are distirignished for discipline. Of such
galkint spirits, ready to die for their country's
flag, Pennsylvania may well be proud. We
know that their names and dee& will illustrate
the brightest records of this unhappy , war, and
that they will never desert the post of duty,
until victory wreathes its laurels around their
brows, and, the restored bond of union shall be
" :Unbrokea as the. sacred chain of nature
That binds the jarring elements in peaae."
The'present session will doubtless be one of
great. importance.' Whatever public affairs may
demand our attention, (it is needless for me to
surmise what they may be) it becomes us to lift
our6:elves above all personal and party interests
and to act in that grave, dispassionate and dig
nified manner, which should ever characterize
a legislative body, From my knowledge,of the
Senate, I confidently anticipate that the peculiar
duties of my position will be rendered light and
easy,' by youx cordial :eo-operation in the main
tenance of strict order and the careful observ
ance of parliamentary'rules. Again I thank
you, Senators, for the honor you have conferred
upon me, and doubt, not that mutual prudence
and patience will enable us to transact the busi
ness of the session pleasantly to ourselves and
to the welfare our constituents.
You will be good enough to indicate a Sena
tor to administer the usual oath.
The SPE/tram Was requested to select a Sen
ator for the purpose, and d.mignated Mr. Cs.A.w
roan, who appeared before the Chair, and ad
ministered the following oath
" You most solemnly, sincerely, and truly
declare and affirm, that you will support The
Constitution of the United States ; so you
affirm. •
" You do also affirm that you will support,
the Constitution of the State of 'Pennsylvania,
and that you will perform your duty as Speak
er and member of the Senate with fidelity ; so
you affirm."
The recently elected members of the Senate
were then severally sworn or affirmed.

of the absence of the Sergeant-at-Arms, who is
—I hope only temporarily—confined to his
hOme by sickness. You will be called upon to
fill his position until he makes his appearance
amongst us. 'I expect you most rigidly to ad
here to the enforcement of the twenty-fifth rule
of the Senate. By the provisions of that rule
you are not permitted to introduce into this
chamber, du:ing the sessions of the Senate, any
person not described lulls specification. A rigid
adherence to that rule will tend greatly to the
preservation of order and probably the faalita
tion of the business of this body.

Mr. CLYMER (when his name was called)
said : When I came into the Senate this after
noon I certainly was not aware of the existence
of any law or usage by which, this body might
be entitled - to more than two Assistant Door
keepers. Suddenly lam informed that by
the report of a committee made - at the last
session, which recommended that " three
additional persons should be chosen for the pur
pose of discharging the duties of pasters and
folders," the offices thus created are to be per
manent and their incumbents known as assist
ant doorkeepers. I believe that two such offi.-
cers are sufficient for the performance of all the
labor requircd—for this and the further reason
that I had no intimation of the need of a great
er number, I ask the Senate to excuse me from
voting on the question lefore us.
Mr. CLYMER was excused from voting.
Messrs. Crawford, Donovan, Glatz, Kinsey,
Smith, (llontgornery,) and Stine did not vote.
Messrs. Illorehead, Ribolet and Bubb were
then duly sworn in.
Mr. ROBINSON offered the following resolu
tion : " That D F. JOHNSON be and he is hereby
elected an additional Assistant Door-keeper of
the Senate."
Mr. PENNY called the attention of the Sen
ate to the passage of a resolution providing for
the election of the same number of :officers
appointed last year, and deemed the adoption
~f the present resolution a violation of the pre
vious one. He, therefore, felt called upon to
require the yeas and nays on the question be
fore the Senate
The call f.r the yeas and nays was seconded
by Mr. CLYMER. and the vote resulted as fol
lows, vie :
YEAS Messrs. Benson, Boughter, Bound,
Connell, Hamilton, Hiestaud, Johnson, Ile;ch

joint resolution :

does of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in Gene

ity of the same, That the State Treasurer is here

monies in the Treasury not otherwise appropri-.
ated, the retiring officers of the General As
sembly for 10 days services at the opening of
the present session and their usual mileage,
including such officers as were paid by resolu
tion or otherwise."
Mr. LAWRENCE explained that the bill was
but a mere copy of the formula observed by pre
ceding sessions.
The bill then passed finally.
On motion of Mr. SERRILL the Senate
Adjourned;
IMPORTANT DECISION. —The long contested
land claim between James H. Lane and Gains
Jenkins, involving the title to a.valnable quar
ter section adjoining- Lawrence, Kansas, has
been finally decided by the Commissioners of
the Land Office, Indian Department ; and Sec
retary of the Interior, unequivocally in favor of
Gen. Lane. The merits of the case have bden
exhaustively presented on both sides by emi
nent legal advisers, and involved the original
parties in a personal conflict on the claim, re
sulting in the wounding of Gen Lane and the
death of Mr. Jenkins. The case has excited
great interest in legal circles, the various De
partments, and the country atiarge. The final
decision, vindicating Gen. Lane in his right to
the property, and in his identification with the
Jenkins, tragedy, was rendered Dec 81, 1861.
The following day Gen. Lane presented to the
attorney of Mrs. Jenkins the sum of fifteen
hundred dollars as a free-will New Year's offer
ing of kindness and sympathy.
ARRESTED FOR SEDUCTION AND DIURDER.—Prof.
Austin, formerly Principal of Boalsburg Acade
my, a Mmister of the Seceder Church, and lat
terly a prominent teacher of Common Schools,
was OD last Sunday arrested at Boalsnirg, in
this county, by a shrewd detective police officer
from the State of Michigan, on the charge of .
having seduced two females, and finally effect
ing the death of the oue, while the other is in
a dangerous situation. the charges be true,
which we trust is not the case, and the diaboli
cal means by which he consummated the deeds, .
he cannot escape from being indicted for perpe
trating an offense which seeks a parallel in the --
criminal records. We do not now feel inclined
to give further details concerning the history of
this horrible affa.ir further than to state the fact
of his arrest on these charges.--Belleor.te Centre

KING CorroN IN PERU. —The South American
news by the Northern Light is calculated to
make the Cotton Lords of the C. S. feel un
comfortable. The British steamer Callao, at
Panama, from. Valparaiso, brought up a large
quantity of cotton from Peru, consigned to
England, with the announcement that a much
larger amount is going round Cape' Horn. This
cotton is said to be of superior quality, and no
efforts to raise a very large crop on the Peru
vian coast, the ensuing year. will be spared.
The rebellious American "King Cotton" is
thus threatened with a powerful rival in a new
quarter. . . .
COMIANDER ' Williatri Ronekenderf, of Penn
sylvania, has been appointed to the command
of the,United States steamship San Jacinto,
now at Boston.
