Tho decision of Judge Grier, of the Circuit
Court/ rotating to. set aside a mandamus-ex*
ecution issued upon a judgment obtained
against the city for interest upon railroad
bonds, has created the impression that the
bondholders- hare at length found a key to
..unlock the city treasury. There are others,
.--howqver, who entertain quite a different
opinion. In this case, the plaintiff -presented
"ia . petition, setting forth a judgment of the
Circuit Conrt against the city, for a sum of
money, which . remained that the
', only remody for the enforcement of said judg
• sent was by writ of mandamus, and~prayed
fbr a mandatory writ compelling the Controller
to, certify a warrant upon the Treasurer for
", the amount, which was granted.
. The docision of-the Court, refusing to set
- aside the mandamus elocution, at first created
the Impression that all moneys then in the
. Treasury.must he held Subject to the exccu
tions already issued, amounting teUome $lO,-
, .000. . The Controller was not surcihat he had
power to certify warrants for any other pur
pose. This being the case, of course the
*• Treasurer would be unable to pay, and hold
, ' ers of city, warrants would have to disposo of
< 'them as best they coitid.
We are pleased to state, however, that mat
ters have not yet roachod this dcplorablo cri
... sis. The City Solicitor has advised tho
. Treasurer and Controller to pcrfornTtheir du
j; ties as heretofore-—paying such warrants as.
■. are due, and are necessary to carry on thobu
finest of the city. By act of Assembly, the
City Councils are required to appropriate
{ their revenue, in the month of February,
. for tpeeifio purposes, and hence the So
'Ucltor holds tnat these special appropriations
cannot be touched.. Judge Williams of the
district Court, in a case relating to Allegheny
- city, decided (bat the appropriation by Coun
, oils was valid. At .all events, this question
must arise before any of these mandamus ex
cations are satisfied, and between this and
February next (the time of making the annual
i .:. ■ appropriattan) business of tbo citv Kill be
< - • conducted as usual. If, at that time, it should
. .. be necessary to Include these railroad judg-
mentl in the annual appropriation, then pay*
~ /; meat may be reasonably anticipated, hut not
i.; '• ' till then. In the meantime, act ire- efforts
should bo made to effect an equitable compro
} ..mite with the bondholders, as this seems to
.. .. . bo the. only method by which otir railroad
■ . indebtedness con or will be settled.
The New Iron Plated Steamship.
It may not be generally known that the im
vaeaie iron platos for thiv new iron plated
steamships now being built at Philadelphia,
by Messrs. Merrick dr Son, for the Govern
meat, are being manufactured in this city, at
the extensive works of Mcssr6. Bailey, Brown
£ Co. -The plates ate fifteen feet long, twen
ty-eight and a half and thirty and a half
inches wide, and four inches thick. A two
and a half ton hammer is required in their
manufacture. After, being received at the
Foundry the plates are planed, the edges and
onda being made stright and smooth, and
. grooved like a flooring-board. The groove is
one inch wide by half an inch deep. Screws
are to bo used in fastening the plates to the
- plonking of'the ship. They are to-be put in
from the inside of the vessel, and arc not to go
through the plates. Tho vessel is to be cov
ered with the plates four feet under wjfter,
and three feet above it, and they are to exteqd
oigbty=five feet fore and aft of the centra line,
which will make one hundred and seventy feet
. _ sigplahking. . The iron is. toj’come up to a line
' frith the spar deck, above which there will be
a light rail. Tho sides of the ship, with a
. view to cause the shot to glance,*will have an j
angle of thirty degraes from three -feet above
the load lines. In order to carry this extra
weight the ship has to be Urge. Tho tonnage
of the one under contract is to be three thous
and five hundred. She will be
and thirty foef long, sixty feet beam, and have
a draught of fourteen feet. In her. construc
tion she will be different from the French ship
■, £» Gloiro, about which so much has been
' - written. The French ship is very deop in the
water, while thevessol to be built hero will be
- oltaoit fUtbottomcd, which, notwithstanding
the additional weight, will make her of light
draught. Her machinery will be mach the
Mune as that of a first class sloop-of-war,
except that she will havo four boilers and a
• blower. The Utter bto make the boilers to
. attain eves though the smoke stack should be
_ . . shot away.
~ ; : Some doubt has been expressod as to the
-; V" - ability of , any iron works in these parts to
.. . out such plates j but there U-no difficulty
; •About it, aud it.is said that enough pUtea of
• Xh© kind could bo made in a short time at
PennsylvanU establishments, to cover the
~ sides of every ship in the Navy.
The new vessel above described is to be
, «ompletedJhy-the lithof July next, and if it
should prove successful wo presume numerous
other* of a similar character will be construct
ed. If so, we hope Pittsburgh will share
' liberally in contracts for iron work.
The ColUtioh between the Belle
: «i:JCreole and Freestone.
Jhe following are the ‘ particulars of the
fate collision, briefly noticed by telegraph on
. .Saturday U»t.
“The steamer Bolle Creole, Captain Rusk,
bound from Cincinnati for Pittsburgh, deeply
laden, and the steamer Frcostone, Capt. Wat
son, bound from the Kanawha river forCin
.einnati, with 400 of Col. Lytle's' Tenth Ohio
regiment, collided on Friday night about Biz
o’cloefc, seven miles above Cincinnati, and just
. below, the. piouth of the Little Miami river.
The Belle Credo was ascending the Kentucky
«hore, and from the report of the pilot, who
-• ujf he feared a collison, was hacking her
. wheels when the boatscame together. Tho
Freestone's bow struck tho Bello Creole on
larboard aide, a few feet ail of ber stern,.
cntifDZ through, andcausing the Belle Creole
to fts£ frtoost immediately. Tho pilot run
liw out on Kentucky shore, where she
lies sunk, with frr starboard guard out, whllo
the larboard guar* b tt least four feet under
• water.' As the river U rising rapidly, and the
boat much careened, it il feared that the Cre
ole's cabin will float off, and the boat prove a
■total wreck. The concussion knocked eight
or ten soldiers into the river front the Frce
-1 : stone, and it is feared that all bat one of the
number were drowned. The officers of the
Belle Creole rescued one of the soldiers from :
watery grave. A sick soldier, wbo-badmade
nppti«ntioa for passage to Pittiburgh on the
Belle Creole,"(the only passenger,) is missing.
Capt. Bask was nor on board when the acci
dent occurred—the Belle Credo being in
charge of Capt. A. Byers, who was.in the pi
lot house with the -pilot when' the collision
tookplace. The'Freestone wasnot materially
damaged. She roondfd to, and landed near
£ho mouth of the MUma, in company with the
Dubiftith, containing the balance of the Tenth
Ohio rlpment. The Belle Creole was laden
to her amdtyi Baring' over 3so tons. The
cargo may be partiaJly 'saTodj ina damaged
condition.-It at $20,000, and prin
cipally Insured in Cincinnati offices. The
Bello Creole was built at Wheeling; afterwards
burned, and rebuilt at Madison, Tod.,,Vm in

Tin New Vorit World, of Saturday, has
an article ih reply to one in the Charleston
Mercury, in trhieh that leader in the exist
ing rebellion hints at the possibility of a
reconstruction of the Union.
The World states plainly that any re
construction different from the present
Constitution! is out of the question and ut
terly impossible. More especially is it ex
travagantly absurd to suppose that any
shadow of change can be madein that Con
stitution to please South Carolina, the head
and front of our present rebellion.
The World intimates that the control of
that rebellious State may be changed; the
power of the deceitful and treacherous oli
garchy of slaveholders may be broken
down.
The World then proceeds as follows:
“Now, there are In 9oath C&roilina, at the f
present time, full /our hundred thoueand slaves ;
—a number very far greater in proportion to
her white population, and also in proportion j
to her territorial area, than can be found in !
any other State in the Union. The uprising !
of this enormous black mass would virtually j
Africanize the State, unless the Federal Gov- {
eminent should interpose to keep the blacks i
in restraint. Bat most assuredly the Fe&er- I
al Government would oot so interpose, in or- 1
der to secure the property of the present mas- ,
ters while they continue in rebellion. Confis- |
cation, and the transfer of the confiscated :
property to loyal citizens, would then become 1
a poiitive necetrity, in order to keep the blacks
in employment, saying nothing of the justice
which would exact the penalty. The contu
macy of South Carolina would absolutely
force this action upon the Government.
“Let hot South Carolina flatter herself that
GoVernment cannot meet this necessity. The
way is not difficult. The Governmenthas the
right, in the face of this atrocious defiance of
its authority, to impose a military rale npon
the people of the State, or, if it pleases, to
put them in the condition of a territory, man
aging them by civil officers of its ownapnoint-i
tnent.. If that were dono, and the faith of*
the Government pledged that the purchasers
, of the confiscated property should be kept
1 perfectly secure in its title and possession, it
! would not require two years forJlorthero em
igrant aid societies, such os told with such of*
feot upon the settlement of Kansas, to pour
into South Carolina a population large enough
to'control the political fortunes of the State.
There are not over fifty-six thousand voters
in the State, all told —including all the white
population over twenty-one, without any ref
erence to those suffrages which require a
property qualification. Even were these vo- |
tors united, they could be overcome by north
ern immigration ; but in fact there has al- i ,
ways been a variance between the sl&vehold- •}
ers of the cotton districts and the poor farm- i
ere of the upper part of the State, in refer- I
ence to representation and taxation, and j
northern immigrants of moderato and just I
views would find ready allies in the latter, j
So there is a perfectly feasiblo way open here ;
for the-reconatmction of South Carolina. !
“In all probability, Port Royal, by virtue :
of the immeasurable superiority of its harbor, ,
will hereafter take the rank formerly held by ,
Charleston. -There is every facility for build
ing* city that shall rulo the commerce of the ]
whole Southern coast; and nothing is requir- J
ed but Northeru capital and energy to effect 1
it within a very brief period. These will be
, secured readily enough just so soon as it is
: made clear that the State can be redeemed
. from the rule that has hitherto paraiiyzed all
1 enterprise. Thousands of the hardy sons of
| New England, who are now serving as sol-
I diers iu that bright dime, would gladly make
! it their permament home.”
1 was struck with these remarks, and
i especially with the last sentence of the ex- j
tract.
I I presume there is not au old resident in
! this region, around the head of the Ohio,
\ who is not aw&re that the Whisky Insur
i rection, in 1794, was followed by an imme
! di&te and large immigration of active, in
! dustrioua and enterprising men who settled
and prospered here. Thousands of our
: present population can trace back the first
I visit of their ancestors to this region, to
the Fnll of 1794. Hundreds of men who
would perhaps never have seen this country,
came out as volunteers, in the army of fif
teen thousand men, to put down the insur-'
rection. They were thus brought to see the
country, to understand its advantages, and
soon after, oe I have before intimated, Tery
many of them efimo and. settled down here.
So no doubt it will be with thousands of
I the active, enterprising men of our Union
i armies; they will discover in Eastern and j
■ j Western Virginia, South Carolina and
| other thinly populated slave States, strong j
! inducements to make their future homes j
f there. i
Charleston is, no doubt, a doomed city.
Should our government confiscate the lands
around the entrance to Port Royal Harbor,
then lay out a city plot on the most advan
tageous ground, it would, no doubt, soon
become the site of an active, industrious
and enterprising population; the success
ful and triumphant rival of Charleston and
Savannah.
Thus would the former traitorous and
mischievous city and its base and syco
phantic follower both be severely punished
for their base conduct, and in this new and
prosperous town,they would have a constant
memorial of their treason and folly. C.
Where to Get Theu. —ln these war times
it becomes a matter of eomo importance to
many to know where cheap goods of reliable
quality can be purchased. To snch of our
readers as desire to know, wo will say that
Wm. H. McGee A Co., clothiers,corner of Fed
eral street and the Diamond, Allegheny, have
on hand a full stock of fall and winter goods,
ready made or furnished te order, made in the
latest and most fashionable styles, at prices
that defy competition. One visit will ho suf
ficient to verify this assertion. t

Proceedings of Congress! .
• W-ahhixgtox Ctrv, Dec. 2.
Holse. —The House was organized at boon
with ptajer by the Rev. Mr. Stockton. - The
rull of member? was then called by the dlarif.
One hundred and fourteen member* answer*
ed to their names, including Messrs. Serjaatl
and Phelps, of California, Mrr Hooperi of
Massachusetts, Mr. Wilson, of Mr.
Bernbeiscl, delegate from Utah, and Mr.
Cradlehaugh, delegate from Nevada.'
Mr. Dawes, of Mass., moved that Mr. May
nard, of Tunn., be sworn iu a 3 the member
from the Second District of Tcnnesseo.
Mr. Stevens, of Pa., said that Mr. Maynard
may have beenproperly elected,but we all know
the fact that Tennessee was as far as it coaid
be oat of the Union. As there were several
other cases, he thought that the subject
brought forward by Mr. Dawes should be
referred to the Committee on Elections. .
Mr. Dawes thought this was an exception
to the rule, as Mr. Maynard was regularly,
elected by a large majority at the August
election, and before Tennessee had taken any
step 3 to get out of the Union. He also pos
sessed the proper certificate, which qualified
him as a member. ~~
Mr. Stevens, of Pa., asked the direct ques
tion whether, Mt. Maynard was elected before
the State attempted to secede, and at the time
fixed by law.
Mr.. Dawes replied that be was so informed,
and that his election took place under the law
which had existed for a long time.
Mr. Stevens then withdrew bis motion, and
Mr. Maynard was accordingly sworn in at
a member of Congress from Tennessee.
On motion of Mr. Fenton, of N x Y., a reso
lution was adopted appointing a committee to
join such as may be appointed by the Senate,
to wait on the President and inform him that
a quorum of both house! were assembled and
ready to proceod to business.
Mr. Hickman, of Pa v presented the certifi
cate of the Provisional Government of North
Carolina, dated at Hattcras, certifying to the
election of Mr. Foster as member of Congress
from that Statc.-
Mr. Yallandigham, of Ohio, raised a ques
tion of order.
The claim of Mr. Foster.was referred at
the extra session to the Committee on Elec
tions, without favorable action..
Mr. Hickman replied that this was a new
question, different from that of the former
election.*
The Speaker overruled the point of order
taken by Mr. Vallandigham.
Mr. Stevens, of Pa., said no harm would be
done by referring the certificate,.and on his
motion the case was referred to the Committee
on Elections.
Mr. Watts, delegate from New Mexico, was
sworn in.
Mr. Blair, of Ya., the successor of Mr.Car
lisle, was also qualified.
Mr. Richardson, of 111., moved that Mr.
Segar, of Virginia, be also sworn in.
Mr. Dawes desired that this case should be
referred.
Mr. Richardson earnestly argued that Segar
should bo sworn in. The House should not
deny to the people of Accomac and North
ampton counties a proper representation, es
pecially as they had thrown down their arms
whioh they had taken up against the Federal
Government. All the forms of law had been
complied with under the proclamation of the
Provisional Government of Virginia.
Mr. Kellogg, of 111., argued that Mr. Sogar
should be admitted in accordance with princi
ples already settled at the extra session.
Mr. Dawes desirod to do no disrespect by
wishing the question referred. He wanted
the House to consider the subject in all its
bearings. It should be ascertained whether
this gentleman was elected by 10, 20 or 1,000
votes, in a district where 10,000 may bo cast
He wanted a rule that they could stand by in
the future.
The subject was then referred to tho Com
mittee on Elections.
On motion of Mr. Lorqjoy, of 111., a reso
lution was adopted, tendering the thanks of
Congroas to Capt. Wilkes for his arrest of the
traitors Mason and Slidoll.

Reed, member from Missouri, having taken
up arms against the United States, is hereby

nor of Missouri be notified of the fact.*
A resolution was unanimously passed, de
claring that, as Col. Corcoran had been con
finod as a convicted felon by the rebels, that
the President be requested to .similarly ,cod
fine James M. Mason, now in custody in Fort
Warren.
Mr. Elliott, of Mass., offered the following:
Be* ilced, By the Houuo of Representatives
of the United States of America: Ist. That
in behalf of tho people of these States, we do
solemnly declare that the war in which we are
now engaged against the insurgent bodies cow
in atm* against the Government, has for its
object the suppression of such rebellion and
the rc-estublishment of the rightful authority
of the National Constitution and laws over
the entire extent of our common country. 2d.
That while we disclaim all powor under the
Constitution to interforo, by ordering legisla
tion, with tho Constitution of tho several
States, yet tho war now existing must be con
ducted according to the usages and rights of
military service; and. that, during its con
tinuance, tho recognized authority of the
maxim, that the safety of tho Ststo is the
highest right of law, subordinates the right
of property and dominates over civil relations.
3d. That, therefore, wo do hereby declare
that, in our judgment, the President of the
United States, as tho Commander-in-chief
of our army, and the officers in command
under him, have the right to emancipate all
persons held as slaves in any military distriot
in a state of insurrection against the National
Government,* aed that we respectfully advise
that such order of emancipation bo issaed
whenever the same will avail to weaken the
powor of the rebels in arms, or to strengthen
the military power of the loyal forces.
Mr. Dtinn, of Md., moved to lay_tfce reso
lution on the tablo, but the motion was dis-
agreed to—yeas, 56 against 70.

Mr. Campbell, of Pa., gave notice that he'
would call up the following resolution on next

exigencies of tbe rebellion, Congress
should confiscate tho property, slaves includ
ed, of all robels, and protect the property and
rights, under thpr Constitution ana laws, of
all loyal citizens. <
Mr. Stevens, of Pa., submitted the follow
ing, for future consideration:
Whereas, Slavery has caused the present
rebellion in the States; and whereat,
there caa be no solid and permanent pcaoo and
union in this republic so long as that institu
tion exists within It: and wAerccui, slaves are
now used by the rebels as an essential means
of supporting and protracting the war ;• and
whereat, by the law of nations it ia onr right
to liberate the slaves of an enemy to weaken
his powers; therefore,
Be it enacted, 6y the Senate and House of
