WHAT CON'OttleozS HAS NOT DONE•
The present session of the National Legis'
laurel has exhibited all the characteristics of
the "circumlocution office." For nearly five
months there has been a constant and laborious
struggle " how not to do it," and thus far the
struggle has proved eminently successful, for
very little of the grave and important - businoss
which the nation expected at the hands of its
legislators has as yet been accomplished.
We recently read an account of a gentle•
wan in the city of New iotk who had con
structed an Aquarium or artificial fish pond.
which he had stocked with a great varietycof
the finny tribe, and hearing of a strange and
rare to be had at Buffalo, he purchased
aed put it in his pond, and on the following
morning found to his surprise that he had but
a single fish left, which was swollen to an
enormous size, having swallowed all his fel
lows. The Buffalo monster had eaten up all
the little fishes. That Aquarium reminds us
of Congress, where the Kansas question, like
the Buffalo has gulped down all the other
fishes of legislation.
A joint resolution has been passed fixing the
time of adjournment for the 7th of Jane,
about six weeks hence. The regular salary
for either a long or short session instead of a
per diem allowance, probably accounts for
this early adjournment. Bat six weeks is
time enough to do a sufficient amount of
legislation to keep the wheels of government
moving, if the time is only well and in
dustriously .used.
For nearly five months, Congress has been
"doing KIkITS RN, " 9nd yet Kansas is not yet
done.
A few miscelianeous bills .and throe acts of
some moment constitute the entire perfected
business of this session. The latter are the
the Deficieney Bill, an act increasing the
army two or three regiments of volunteers,
and an act to issue twenty millions of treasury
notes. The Kansas whale ht4Vvallowed
everything else in the great national fish
pond.
But if Congress has done nothing it has
laid out an immense amount of work to do,
embracing almost every subject which comes
within the scope of its jurisdiction, embracing
a list of appropriations which if carried out
would absorb the gold of half a dozen Cali ,
foruias for years to come in addition to all
other sources of revenue.
We subjoin, copied from the New York
lit rald , a few of the most prominent specimens
of this ponderous calendar of appropriations

consideration of the regular appropriations,
and a few other measures which must be passed .
at this session, a large catalogue of these
aforesaid unfinished jobs will go over to the

but there is much which should and must be

this troublesome , Kansas whale may bo ham
pooned at once, and in such a manner that its

troubled sea of politics so that Congress may
have time to calmnly consider and justly act
upon other important measures of national
requirement.
LOLL TO REGULATE RA ;I L ROA 0
cIIARGES.
On Friday last, a bill to regulate the rate of
charges by Railroad Companies passed the
Senate. Although general in its terms, it can
have little other application than to the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company, which is said to
have been the avowed object of its author—
Senator Cazzam, of this county.
The presumption at Harrisbur g is, that
this bill is not calculated to cripple the busi
ness of the Company as the yeas and' nays
wore not called upon it in the Senate. The
correspondent of the 'United States Ga:ette
thinks the passage through the House prob
able. The following is the bill amended as it
passed the Senate, which we insert entire, as
it will, if passed by the House, directly affect
business in this city to a' considerable extent.
We very mach doubt its passage by the
House :

SALARIES AND THE COST OY
The New York papers have recently bad
quite a brisk discussion upon the important
question as to whether clerks, bookkeepers,
salesmen, &c., could maintain themselves and
their families respectably upon the present
rates of salaries, The Ants has the following
upon the subject :
There hive been various economical estimates
presentefi to show that upon a salary of a thou
sand dollars per year a man and his wife and
tainily rimy live comfortably—even elegantly,
in an economical sense. Now as. we wish no bach
elor friend of ours to be inveigled into matrimony
under ‘.false pretenses," we will re touch the
$l,OOO picture and endeavor to correct some of
the errors of facts and of omissions that have
Leen made upon this subject.
Here is the estimate of a correspondent living
in Brooklyn, who supports himself, wife, chili!
and servant, upon a salary of $l,OOO a yea'r,
and thinks that it is a sufficient sum :
G 00,000,00
70,000,000
Rouse rent per year........
'ruble expanse, $3O per inonth
Servant's expenses
a 3 $25, fuel $5O
Ferriage $l2, pew rent $18...
Lunch in New York
Clothing for family
This is certainly a very economical estimate.
Nothing is set down for a newspaper, for the
support of the gospel, dootor's bill, incidentals
for the wife and baby if they wanted to take a
" buss up town," but all these are to be paid cut
of the $75 surplus fund.
In the matter of expetmr, let us look a little
deeper into this family arrangement. How much
is the expense of furnishing a house for such a
family ; and when furnished, how much less
than $lOO per year will supply the wear and tear
of carpets, furniture, bedding, hc. ? Are not
these things rather important omissions in the
Brooklyn man's estimate, and would he not had
a hundred dollars or two at the end of the year
upon the wrong side of the balaace sheet, upon
a tatty of $l,OOO, even with this rigid emmorny ?
And who believes that $lOO will clothe such a
family ? IVhat kind of an appearance would his
wife make every Sunday in the year in that
pew at $lB, with say, $4O of the $lOO fur her
wardrobe? . .
Any Buell estimate is simply ridiculous; the
1 dy lutist consent to stay away from church, go
into no nooiety, to no autusenieuts, and, in a
word, become her own servant, to dress with
any suet - team. '

If a thousand dollars will not keep a clerk
with ono child, how is the mechanic with
half a dozen, who does not earn half a
thousand dollars expected to keep a house
over their heads, and their bodies and souls
together ? Is it any wonder crime and suffer
ing, and starvation are so rife in Now York,
if the cost of living is so high that a man
cannot earn a living? But there is no ne_
ceisity for all this—no real neceesity. If
men cannot earn a living in New York, let
them emigrate to the west, where they can.
Let them become producers on the soil which
is abundant and cheap, and which 'will return
to the industrious man, a fair equivalent
for his time and labor. Even ;n the cities of
the west, the salaries and earnings of in
dustry do not shoessach a frightful disparity
with the cost of liVing as in the large eastern
cities. A clerk in Pittsburgh can live we❑
and lay up money on a salary of a thousand
dollars, and many of our hard working me
chanics whose habits are good, lay up money
and build houses upon earnings of six, seven
and eight hundred a year. We know the fact.
Let the starving surplus population of Now
York seek the West, where their labor can
secure for themselves and their children a
certainty of comfortable subsistence. Ile who
earns, is entitled to a fair share of what he
earns, and the west pays men in proportion
to their talent, industry, and nsefulness. In
New York there are too many hands to do the
work and too many mouths to feed, and some
must starve or do worse, if they will hang on
to the fancied advantages of a city life. Ilere
employment is mostly a matter of temporary
cmvenience to the class of clerks, bookkeepers
and salesman. Each and all of them expect,
when they have become adepts, to go into
business for themselves, and in this most of
them succeed. If the employer values a clerk
he gives him enough to keep him in his em
ployment. Men who render good service are
as a general thing well paid in proportion to the
service. There is a big country out West where
people that can't live on a thousand dollars
in New York should emigrate. They need
not bring with them New York fashions, New
York follies, nor extravagances. Lat them
come without shirt frills and ready to work
with their hands, and they can not only live,
but grow rich, if they are industrious and
economical.
Land Value and linliroads.
The Virginia and Tennessee Railroad is 201
miles in length, and it cost about 87,000,000,
In 1850, the taxable value of the land in the
counties through which it passes,as taken from
the census, was 828,945,047 ; and in 185 G,
the State assessments make it 853,917,229 I
or an increase in six years of $25,365,558.
This sudden increase is alone the result of an
internal improvement, which has cost ofty
$7,000,000.

PRIVATES BANKERS.
A bill has gone to a third reading in the
House of Representatives to prohibit persons
from banking under corporate names, when
they are really nothing but private bankers.
In case it should pass, such firms as Drexel
Co. will have to put out a sign as follows
"Drexel, & Co., Private Bankers," and lion
chartered institutions generally would be com
pelled to designate the fact that they are private
bankers. It is not likely that the bill, even
if it pass the House, will reach the Senate this
session.

doubted approbation of the public. It seems
to have sounded the key note of patriotism
in the hearth of all Pennsylvanians; and has
revivtd the remembrance of those deeds of
glory which crowned our flap with-honor
and renown. The feelings and the wishes of
the people are strongly in favor of perpetuat
ing the memory of the heroism of the soh+
diers of that csinpaign in an enduring form,
so that their story will be rescued from the
mutilations of floating tradition, find banded
down to other days, untouched and untarn

of a patriot will cavil at the expenditure of
the paltry sum of money required to, carry
this movement into execution ; and as the Sen
ate should heed the wishes of the people, no
gentleman on that floor should hesitate to pay
this merited compliment to those of our cou.
patriots who died for the country we all love
and revere. The bill is now in the hands of a
select committee, who will give it, we hope,
prompt attention. There does not exist in
this State a public monument of a similar
character, and this deserved testimonial of
gratitude would form a atting decoration p
our capitol grounds.
Improvement follows improvement in thin
wonderful field of science. Edward flightop,
civil engineer of England, has recently ob
tained a patent for, first sending telegraphic
messages both through one and the same wire
at same instant, without in any way inter,
fering with each other ; secondly, for prevent°
ing the dcstrnction of a wire in the sea or
under ground ; and thirdly, for mending a
telegraphic wire in the mid ocean without
raising it out of the mud. New telegraphic
instruments have also been constructed,
tended for the use of railroads, fire alarms
and police stations. The inst.timent is fixed
in a small box, provided with a dial and poin•.
ter. The alphabet is marked on the dial, and
around the latter keys arranged in a circle,
A merit claimed for this invention is, that
any person, without previous experience, can,
readily forward and receive messages. On
touching a key the pointer moves to the cor
responding letter on the dial. The power
employed is electricity, and all clockwork
machinery is dispensed with. An ordinary
ticket agent, conductor, or engineer, or any
person who can read, can operate the in-
strumont as readily as an accomplished tele
graphor.
Kansas Regina to Feel It.
Letters from Kansas say that the political
agitation in the territory has so absorbed the
attention of the squatters, that they have negs
looted their crops and private affairs, and so
ex .ansted their means, that a large portion
of them will be unable to pay for their land
before it will be offered for sale under the proc
lamation of the President. Many of those
who are unable to preempt will loose their
lands, and will have endured their sacrifices
and labor in vain to secure a home. People
most pay the penalty of folly. The political
demagogues have everything to gain in keep,
ing up violent excitement, the people everya
thing to lose.
Mr Donhere's bill for the better regulation
of insurance companies, passed the House final
ly. Its provisions, as amended, apply only
to those companies located in Philadelphia
and Allegheny counties, and those mutual
companies in thecountry which have agencies

county. It is expected to pass the Senate.--
It will do more to protect the community from

FIB OH HARRISBURG.
Hanumarrao, April Hi, 1.858. I
Tho Senate Chamber was lust evening the scone of
an animated contest—the most important, perhaps,
mirtainly the most spirited and protracted thi_t has oco
ourred hero for years. The bill to sell the State Ca
nals to the Sunbury and Elio Railroad Company hav
ing passed the House, had now reached a stsgo in
the Senate when, from the near approach of the duy
of adjournment, it became necessary that the strength
for and against it should be finally tested. An eve.
ning session was appointed for this purpose, and the
opt•osing parties marshalled their forces. Rumor of
the expected contest having gone abromi, whon the
hour of contest canto the Senate amber wee
thronged with a brilliant array of ladies, hnd seats
were called into all Possible places for the accoteoda-
Con of members of the House and citizens
Such was the scone at the opening of the debate,
and both parties were full of hope and anxiety. The
opponents of the bill numbered some able men, and
were led by Charles It. Backalew, whose great ext ()-
rine°, skill and eloquence make him a formidab'e
antagonist in any contest. The friends of the bill,
however, had the weight of talent and character, and
what was of more importance, of numbers on their
side. Speeches were made and replied to by verb us
members, which, (bating a few who indulged in un
worthy personalities,) could not fail to impress the
stranger with a high opinion of the ability and tdc
quence of the Pennsylvania Senate. But I am
proud to add that the crowning honors of, the even
ing were universally conceded to our own venerable
Senator, Judge Wilkins. Ile had given the bill his
most careful consideration, and understood it in all
its hearings. The animated spectacle around him
seemed to bring back all the vigor of youth, and this
spirit, combined with his mature wisdom and his
s , atesumulike view of the whole question, called forth
boarty encomiums from his most determined adver
saries. Mindful that ho was an Allegheny Senator,
Judgo W ilkius thowod—and showed to a demonstra.
tion—that even ip a narrow, selfish, local point of
view the best interests of Pittsburgh required the
passage of the bill, especially with an amendment
which ho offered and which was promptly accepted,
requiring a subscription of half a million of dollars,
to aid the Allegheny Valley Railroad in its comple
tion from the month of the - binhoning to Winslow.
This will insure the early completion of the latter
road, which will then form a link in a new route to
Philadelphia and New York, shorter in time if not
in miles, than any other. He showed further, to a
mathematical demonstration, that the Allegheny Vol
ley Road was destined to be the great trunk, and not
merely a feeder of the main stem.
But passing from local considerations, the venera

general principles, be reviewed our improvement

paaterials which his associates and all of us of this
generation must gather from books—showing how
every section of the Commonwealth had in turn
shared the fostering care of the Commonwealth ex
cept the region it was now proposed to open up. A
Senator had sneeringly spoken of this region as a
desert, a forei t, and a wilderness. Judge Wilkins
blandly reminding the Senator that the epithets
"desert " anti " forest " were somewhat incompatible,
admitted that it was a forest or wilderness, and then
with admirable tact and irresistible force turned this
view of the case into an argument for the passage of
the bill. How came it, ho asked that gentlemen,

wuntifully, had been carried too far already ; it wiis
time to corroct it.
Judge Wilkins produced etatiaties showing the
magic etfact of.thotho intersiat - itnprovemenis
and other States, in adding t tho value-of the taxa

and argued that it was tiso duty of statesman to look

foundations of 'public prosperity - tweed' and deep, in
stead of skimming the eurfaco fora transient pit
tance of revenue. We then proceeded to 'show in

Mr. George W. Miller, is young man repr settling

conduct, was in striking contrast to Mr. Buckalow,
who generously deolarod that the Senator ftum Al

his respect, as were all others. Mr. Francis, of Law-

courtesy that he will do well to profit by, and I am
inclined to think ho will tarry , at Jericho until his

Tho Senate this afternoon passed the act compelling
the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad

New Grenada Knocking at the Door
The Attorney General of New Grenada, in
submitting the federal constitution to the Con
gress of that republic, for its action, accom
panied it with a repoft advocating the incor
poration of New Grenada into the great Amer
ican Union, under the same conditions as
the States already constituting our confeder
acy, as a remedy for the difficulties under
which the country now labors. He argues
the case, too, very ably, urging that annexa
tion to the Union will secure external protec
tion for New Grenade', foster internal pros
perity, and place it generally, in the same con
dition as New York, Pennsylvania, and the
other States of the confederacy. This is all
very true and sensible, but we fear that neither
party is anxious for such annexation just at
present.
A Plethora of Goltb
The New York banks, according to the last
weekly etatement, contained over tbirty.two
millions of dollars, and the arrival from Oals
ifornia on Monday added about a million and
a half to the aggregate. The- banks of New
Orleans contain about eleven, and those of
Boston something more than eight millions.

WATHINGTON CITY, April 19.—Tho HOMO Commit
tee of Foreign Affairs this morning directed Mr.
Clingman, its Chairman, to report a resolution for tho
abrogation of the Clayton .Bulwor treaty, condemning
the American as well as the British interpretations,
and authorizing the President to take immediate as.
lion for its abrogation.
The report that. the Senate Committee of Com
merce unanimously agreed to report against all ap+
propriations for river and harbor improvements is in•
correct. Mr. Hamlin did not agree to the proposi
tion.
The joint Committee of Conference on the Kansas
bill met this morning, all the members being present
for the first time. Mr. Green, on behalf of the
majority of the Senate Committee, submitted several
propositions, amending the Senate bill, none of which
proved acceptable to the House Committee. Pro
positions were then solicited from the House Com
mittee. Mr. English responded that at the next
meeting of the Committee he would submit a new
bill, the precise character of which has not transpired,
but it is understood to be a proposition for a sub.
stituto for the Locompton ordinance, and that the
question of admission under the Locompton Con..
stitution, with an amended ordinance, be referred to
a fair vote of the people of Kansas at aniarly day.
If the majority vote fur it, Kansas is t come into
the Union under the President's proclamation. If
against it, then the bill provides for the formation of
a new constitution whenever the population there
equals the number required for a member in the U.
S. House of Representatives. The committee ad
journed over till to-morrow. There is some reason
to believe that Mr. English's bill will be agreed to
in conference, and pass Congress.
The Senate to day confirmed John Cadwallader as
Judge of the Etstern DistrierCourt for Pennsylvania
vice Kane, deceased. Mr. Morten, of Nebraska, as
Secretary of that Territory. The Senate, after dis•
