Yesterday, the resolutim oY the Senate in
sisting upon a committee of conference WA
communicated to the House, and Mr. Mont_
goenery moved that the House 'iusiet upon its
motion to adhere, and moved the previous
question, which was lost by a tie vote, the
Speaker voting in the negative. Mr. Eugliah
then moved that a committee of c.onfer%
ence be appointed on the part of the Home;
and the vote being taken stood 108 to 108,
tied the Speaker gavo his casting vote in the
affirmative. So the House agreed to a conmma
mittee of conference. The committee is not
given in our dispatches, and we take it for
granted that it was not announced by the
Speaker previous to the adjournment. The
result of this conference will be looked for
with the utmost interest and anxiety all over
the country. We trust that their report will
be of such a character as shall enable Con
gross to fairly, honorably and finally settle the
matter.
THE 1)A POSTOU I,I4.II:ISLA.TE.VE
S, dr..c
Since the present session of the Legislature
commenced, the readers of the Pea have been
furnished daily with special telegraphic dis
patches from Harrisburg, - prepared and for ,
warded by a gentleman of thorough compe ,
tency, and containing all desirable informa
tion respecting all general bills which were
under consideration, as well as all local mat"
tern In which our community had a direct in-
terest. Every mornitn4 we have given to our
readers the proceedings of the previous day
at the State Capitol,—thus obviating the ne
cessity of a regular Harrisburg correspondent,
and giving the news a day earlier than could
be due by letter. It has been ex...:ensive to
us, for we have had to pay for this news in
addition:to the regular telegraphic dispatches
of the associated press, but we are satisfied
that the investment has been a good one. We
determined, when one year ago we took con
trol of the Morning Post, that it should he
behind none of its cotempararies as a news.
paper, and the largely increased business
which has accrued to the establishment with
in the year, is to us a most gratifying evidence
that we have not labored in vain. The'ad.
vertisiug patronage uf the Post for the past
year has been fully fifty per cent. greater than
in any previous year of the existence of the
paper, anti both our daily and weekly lists
have largely increased, and the lucre:ago is
steadily continued. We4Vd it in conte.in

inetecc CLUBS
Our friends in the country are working with
14 will to extend the circulation of the - Werk
ly Post. We return our tbuuku thie week to
Mr. A. APLees, of Uoal Valley, f'a., tor a
club of twenty-four stibicribere to W. Ew

for a dub of twentysone ; to T. APLaughlin .

Long Run, Armstrong Co., for a club of cloys
en suberibers.
We are under many obligations to these
gentlemen, as well us hosts of others, who
have exerted themselves with great success to
extend- our weekly circulation. We have
room upon
. our subscription list for more
clubs, and the low price of our sheet—sl per
year in clubs, of ten—assures us that we shall
have them. As a family journal, the 'Weekly
Pug gives general satisfabtion. A good tale;
a very full and complete report of the Mar
kets, prepared by Mr. Snowden, Superinten
dent of the Merchant's Exchange ; editorials,
local, telegraphic news, and agreeable mis
cellany, form its weekly contents.
Our city merchants will find it one of the
best advertising mediumswest of the mono.

tomers. Its circulation, already very large,
is daily increasing, and it is our design short

will be furnished to all who may desire it.
TILE BANK KffitsllKPTlON
So fur us we can learn, all the banks of
Pennsylvania resumed the payment of specie
on the 12th inst., the time fixed by the Lew,
ielature. There did not prove to be a • lame
duck" in the entire flock. The Warren Bunk,
and the Bank of Commerce, which takes the
place-of the Erie City Bank, both of which
have been somewhat "under a cloud" in the
estitna , ion 01 the financial community of
Pittsburgh, are both, us we are informed,
among the resumed banks, and are both in a
sound condition. The Bank of Commerce,
now a specie paying bank, is to redeem the
out standing notes ut the Erie City, so that
holders need no longer dispose of them ut
heavy discount on thew, for by sending the
to Erie, the issues et the Bank of Com-
Illeteb --a specie paying bank -- will be return
ed in their stead. It is with much gratificas
tier' that we record these evidences of the
sound ability of all our Pennsylvania Banks.
May they always continue in this condition,
which they can do by contining their trausac,
Cons to the legitimate business of the places
where they are located.
From tlx , , t Plains.
We have late and interesting news from the
Plains. Captain Marcy took up his lino of
march for Camp Scott on the 18th ult., and
expected to roach his destination about the tat
of May. He had twelve hundred animals
and abu4dance of forage and provisions. He
was escorted by one hundred and fifty troops,
and the same number of herdsmen and moun
taineers accompanied the expedition.

B. Brady I resided. '1 he meeting was a very
lags one, and was addressed by the chairman.
Mayor Wright, Hon. E. A. llaunegan,
Bates, Col. Preston, and others. Resolutions
were adopted, speaking of the many high qual

public services, and of the unaffected sorrow
at hisde.cith, of those who had known him best
and longest in his relations as a wan, a citizen.
and a public servant. A committee consisting
of a large number of the most prominent
citizens was appointed to make arrangements
ter the burial, and to select a suitable person
to deliver an appropriate oration on the occa

"ME EXTRA PAY TO OUR LhIGAS-
A correspondent of the Philadelphia Press
furnishes the following able exposition of
this matter, to which we invite the attention
of Tax Payers generally:
The Senate awl House having disagreed at; to
the propriety of appropriGting two hundred del
I , ,rs of extra pay to each un-mber,there will have
to be a committee of conference on the subject. -
then will come the Inv, of war. Alay Heaven
def?lni the right
This subject is, 1 think, worthy of considera
tion fri,,m two points of view. First, as to the
pruplic: j of mombers v 'Ling money into their
i•ocatits. It is to.:rvolluus bow
uireum
lauu: chauge men's opinions. When g•-•
melt rice seeking nominations to the Legislature
(an scares do to every one that is successful) they
would scorn the imputation that salary had any
thing to do with their desire to servo the public;
but °nee fairly in, it is discovered that the pay
is wholly inadequate, and that the Commonwealth
is bound to furnish full reuumeration in money,
Sec., and so a clause is inserted in the appropria
tion bill, and each member pockets some hun
dreds of dollars extra.
Now, it is impossible to argue upon the pro
priety of a proceeding liko this. If there be ally
ono whose better nature does not rise up against
it instantly, when stated, he is not one of those
persons who is capable of " feeling a stain like a
wound," and reasoning would be thrown away
upon him.
It seems to me, however, that these gentlemen
:evolve themselves in an awkward dilemma.
When you ask thorn for a reason why the pay
shcuU be increased, the ready fIUSWOr is, that
higher pay will bring here a better class of men.
Well, if that is so, and the increased pay is the
proper pay for a better class of men, then, by
the same token, it is too much for the men now
here.
Upon their own principle it would seem rea
sonable to conclude, that if the pay had been
higher before the last elections, we should now
have here a higher-priced set of men ; and it
does seem monstrous that these low-priced men
should now vote themselves the pay which they
themselves declare to be the proper pay fur bet
ter men.
11 this sounds dierespeotful, I beg it would be
retheinbcri - ol that the argument is not mine--but
I em trying to SLOW the inconsistency of tboso
who fever this appropriation. 1 have too much
respect for members to attribute tnerconary cue
118rati,Jus to them, lied I desire; and think I can
def . , ud them from thin odious (Marv. The fun

Another class is made up of young torn
embarking in lite, to whom publicity is every
thing. A young lawyer, for example, may sit in
his othoe fur years without obtaining a brief, or
being hnoiin to the public as a member of hid
p le f eti el e n, A nomination for the Legislature
throw this man at once before the people. Du
ring the canvass everybody conies to know him ;
and if he'have talents, a session or twu in the
Legislature advances his fortune a dozen of years.
'F 41 nay that a lawyer in full practice cannot afford
to nerve In the Legislature is eutbiog to the pur
pose. Von cannot pay a salary that would he a
compensation to him; mei all that can lie said
is, that he is excluded by circumstances, just as
some men (being born blind, or dumb, ut
elle) are excluded by nature.
Manufacturers, merchants, master mechanics,
&ti., form another clara. if the business et'
these men is to be suspended, you cannot pay
them tin equivalent; but in fact their business
goes on, and ellen an equivalent is not called fur.
Or if We consider the case of the laboring man,
strictly so called, then a small salary is to him
an equivalent.
Finally, we have tho class of farmers. The
complaint of inadequate salaries certainly does
not come from them. Accustomed to a frugal
way of life, they spend a few months here at
small expense, while their crops aro quietly
growing at home. Experience stows, at lerst,
that there are few substantial farmers through
out the State who are not willing to represent
their fellow citizens when called upon.
The compensation then, of members, it seems,
is something else than money—considering the
question merely as one of pecuniary interest.
Bat there are other considerations—patriotism,
public spirit, amuition. In the Convention that
framed the Federal Constitution, Dr. Franklin
and some others urged that considerations of
this kind would be sufficient, and that co salary
was neceKary to members of Congress—as none
is paid to members of Parliament in England.
It was, however, thought more Democratic to
pay expenses, that none might be excluded.
But is there any feeling in the human breast
stronger than the desire of distinction? Look
at the Councils of onr cities—the Burgesses and
Belect-men of our boroughs; the vestrymen,
stewards, &o , of our churches ; the various offi
cers of our benevolent associations—what in
duces all these men to tpend so much time and
labor in the public service ? Merely a sense of
duly and a love of distinction. So, too, a few
years ago, when volunteers were called for in
;he war with Mexico, why did the finest spirits of
country leave their professions, their farms,
and their merchandise, to encounter the hard
ships and dangers of grim -visaged war? Was
it the contemptible pittance of eight dollars per
month? or was it the love of distinction--the
hope of advancing then ultimate fortunes I
What, then, ought to be the rate of pay "
CI, arty in this, as in other eases, the price should
be given that would secure the host vervice; and,
in making the ealculetico, we must consider
whether the men likely to be innueneed by the
nobler considerations we Lave referred to, or
thoQe who know no inducement but hire and
salary, might be expected to he the most pure
sod patriotic representatives.
We fully agree with the following views
expresiled by the writer of the money articles
of the Philadelphia Ledger. They are plain
common sense, and large numbers of our read.
as thing nn :
The question of the repeal of the tonnage tax
on the Pennsylvania Railroad Company is now
the most exciting subject before the Legislature.
It will probably be up and disposed of during
the present week. The people of the Common
wealth evince little concern in the matter. In
dividual interest in the amount realized from the
laY is so small as to scarcely provoke inquiry or
disoussion. It therefore becomes a question of
great state policy whether the Legislature will
remove the tax or not. Believing that all clogs on
tr.ide are of injurious tendency, the Ledger has
favored the removal of this tax. The freer com
petition in business le rendered, and the few ob
811YL1OLIOLIS there are to the free intercourse of
trade and travel, the better for all---oonsumers
as w . ell as producers. All property should pay
its fair proportion of the expenses of the State
government, but it should be, as far as possible,
imposed under general laws ; and, if discrimi
nation is ever resorted to, it should be under
circumstances calculated to 'invite business and

The businetts of wine-waking is . now exten
sively pursued in Missourri, and has been
found to be very profitable. The annual grape
yield is liable to considerable fluctuation, but
the average yield of wino to the acre of grapes
preserves as great regularity, through a series
of years, as is shown by any other crop
raised in the same climate and latitude. The
average during ten years from M. Poeschel's
vineyard at Hermann, has been 425 gallons
of wine per acre. The wine has sold at from
$1 to 82 per gallon, averaging fully $1,25 per
gallon, and there has been no lack of a market.
Formerly the wine was sold mainly to Ciacin
nati dealers, a^(l quite recently N. Longworth
bought 8,000 gallons of Missouri Catuwaba
at 81,25 per gallon, to be manufactured into
Sparkling Catawba. In 1852, the Missouri
Wine Company was organized in St. Louis.
They have an extensive manufactory and
wine cellars, and the _News states that they
have now a stock of 80,000 bottles of wine,
a large portion ma-1y for market. In 1854,
they manufactured 25,000 gallons of wine; in
1855 about 60,000 ; iu 1856 about 20,000 ; in
1857 about 35,000 gallons. Their wines,
thus far, have only been sold in St. Louie, and
to till orders from abroad.
'tenni of (he Deficiency Bill.
The aggregate of the items provided for in
in the Deficiency bill, which passed the House
on Friday, is $9,669,00u, of which 8,000,000
was for the army, $1,400,000 for extra transs
portation of the mail ; $200,000 for surveys
in California, and about $50,000 for contin
gent expenses of the House of Repreeenta
Lives. (it the sum des gnu' for the army,
$5.000,000 in tound numbers has already
been expended, and $3,000,000 are wanted
for the expense] attending the supply and
reinforcement of the army in Utah.
The objections urged against the bill are
mainly hinged upon the technicality that the
expenses of the llolorinon war were not pro
vided for in the last annual appropriation act
for 1857-4, bat these had to yield to the le,
gltimate demands of the public service.

THIRTY-PIFTH CONGRESS
FIRST SESSION
Yesterday's Proceedings.
SENATE
The Chair presented a memorial from the Legisla
ture of Utah, setting forth their grievances Inn semi
decant style, which was laid on the table by a vote
of 32 yeas to 13 nays.
Mr. Owin, of California, presented the resolutions
adopted by tho-Legielature of California for the ad
mission of Kansas under the Leeompten Constitu
tion.
Mr. Broderick, of California, in referring to the
resolutions; said they did not represent the senti•
ruents of the people of California.
The resolutions were, on motion, referred.
Mr. (Twin's Pacific Railroad bill was taken up.
Mr. Green moved an amendment to section 1, by
striking out the - words "fixing the eastern terminus
at a point on the Missouri river between the mouths
of the Big Sioux and Kansas rivers," and insert the
words "at the mouth of the Kansas river," that point
being equally advisable for the North and South.
Mr. Douglas was willing to leave contractors to
select their route between the mouth of Plate and
Sioux. Hence it would be bettor to leave the bill as
it stands.
Mr. Jones' opinion was that the mouth of Big
Sioux is the place, if any point be named ; it is the
same parallel with Cleveland, Buffalo and Boston,
but he did not believe in legislating fur localities.
We should leave it to contractors.
Mr Iversonmade lengthened remarks on the gen
eral question prelimirary to offering amendments.
Congress may constitutionally aid by public lands
and wail contracts, but has no power to build a rottd.
Although in favor of the general principles of the
bill, he cannot give it his support, because it locates
a road whore it will be controlled by a net wort• ut
Northern lines, and empty its fruits into the North
ern lap, the South having but little interest .tberoin.
He was in favor of two routes ; let the North take
one and the South the other; each have mail con
tracts in their respective localities, and divide the
advantages offered by Mr. Urvin's bill, eay twelve
and a half millions each as the road progresses, He
moved amendments to that effect.
Mr. Seward said the time has long since gone by
when it was necessary to discuss the necobsity or
feasibility of a railroad to the Pacific. Excepting a
very small portion of Congress who believe it impos
sible, a majority of the people know three, four or
five routes offer the requisite facilities for the exten
sion of this great object; but when we have settled
that, we have only reached the most difficult stage of
the qgestion ; we may find it the must difficult thing
in the world to obtain the assent of Congress as to
the route, and how to be paid for. Northerners re•
quirod, and reasonably so, that they may have it
within their borders, while representatives South de
mand the same. While he himself would favor the
extreme northern route, yet, from the urgency of the
case, be is prepared to egret - . to any that obtains a
majority in Congress.
The bulk of the population, trade and commerce is
in the northern portion of the Union, and the Com
mittee have selected a point on the Western frontier,
Sioux and Kansas, to concentrate the Atlantic rail.
roads radiating to the Mississippi. It might be more
in accordance with his wishes to select a route be.
twean them ; but from the objections made it was
concluded that the President should select and con
tract for the route most eligible from Sioux to San
Francisco, reference being had to economy, eligibili
ty, feasibility ; these three essential elements. He
would say, if its construction is to be authorized by
Congress this session, we will have to sacrifice some
prejudices, some distrust, and if we do not begin soon,
it will Le too late.
Mr. Green fully admitted that the road would ben
efit Missouri, but he did not advocate it for the sel
fish interests of his State. The probable traffic can
justify but ono road, and that central. No road of
five hundred miles pays through traffic or way busi
ness; even one line may not pay ; taking it for
granted that there shall be only one line, it ought
not to be located on the burning El Paso or at the
north to be obstructed by snow.
Mr. Green's amendments were lost.
Afr. Polk moved to substitute the words "on the
western boundary line of Missouri and Arkansas,
between the mouth of Big Sioux and Fort Smith, on
Arkansas rivor."
Pending the question the Senate went into exam
tive session, and afterwards adjourned.
HOUSE OP REPRESENTATIVES
The House went into Committee of the Whole on
the bill to establish an auxiliary guard, for the pro
tection of life and property in Washinton City. The
bill was discussed till one o'clock, when, on motion
of Mr. Montgomery, of Pennsylvania, the committee
rose, and the House took up the Kansas bill.
A message was received from the Senate, insisting
on its disagreement to the House amendment, and
asking for a Committee of Conference.
Mr. Montgomery moved that the House insist on
its adherence, and moved the previous question.
Mr. English inquired whether if the Committee of
Conference be ordered by the House, parliamentary
law and praotihe require a majority of the Committee
to be composed of gentlemen representing the ma
jority of the House, or a majority of those in favor
of the House bill.
Mr. Stanton said that, if in.order, he would objeo
to the question, because this would provoke intorrog
atories on the other side.
Mr. English gave notice that if the motion was
voted -down, he would move for the Committee of
Conference.
The House voted on seconding the demand for tho
previous question.
The vote stood yeas 108, nays 107 ; the Speaker
voted in the negative, making it a do vote. Tho
question was therefore lost.
Mr. English, in order that he might not be
mis
understood, said that he was opposed to the Senate
bill in its present shape, but notwithstanding this,
he was willing to hear what the Senate had to say,
and was in favor of a committee of conference. lie
could see no harm that would result, and, therefore,
ho moved that the House agree to a committee of
conference on the subject matter of disagreeing
votes, and that three be appointed on the part of the
House. He moved the previous question, which was
seconded, and the vote being taken, stood yeas 108,
nays 108, and the Speaker gave hie misting vote in
the affirmative; so that Mr. English's motion pre
vailed.
The vote elicited applause from the galleries,
which was rebuked by the Speaker, and after some
conversation on the subject, a motion to reconsider
the vote was carried, and then laid on the table.
The House then went into commlttea on the Wash
ington City Police bill, end after a long debat-,
without taking the questin, the House adjourned.

large concourse of citizens,
Frightful consequences are likely to ensue along
the lower Mississippi, which is now higher in some
places than was ever known, by the a,•cetsion of com
bined floods coming from the upper rivers. The
Mississippi is rising from St. Paul ; the lower Mis
souri and Illinois rivers are both high and rising;
all their tributaries are at flood height. The high
water is occasioned by teavy rains extending over
the whole western and northwestern country, and not
the usual spring mountain rise; should that follow
before the present flood subsides, the whole of the
lower country will doubtless be inundated.
prom Washington.
WASHINGTON CITY, April 14.—The Anti-Lump
ton Democrats were, this morning, two hours in
caucus. About one-half of thorn were in favor of
the appointment of a Committee to meet that of the
Senate on the Kansas bill, because, as they said, it
was undersood that the Speaker would give them a
Committee favorable to their side of the question.
They say that they do not wish, in taking this course,
to be considered as abandoning their opposition to
Lecompton, but wished to show becoming respect to
the Senate. If necessary to secure the appointment
of a Committee, Messrs. Coohrano and Foley would
vote in the affirmative in the House on Mr. English's
motion, in company with Messrs. English, Hall of
Ohio, Pendieton and Owen Jones, who sustain ill
Montgomery-Crittenden substitute.
