In the House of Representatives a series of resolutions have been intro (laced, proposing amendments to the Constitution of tho Commonwealth.— The first amendment strikes out section two from the first article, and substi• Lutes a provision requiring that hereaf ter members of the Legislature shall be elected biennally; and also requiring that members of the Senate shall be elected for a term of four yowl, in place of three years, as at present.

Senator Waal', who is the editor of the York Gazette, writes to that paper: The general legislation of the week has been of no particular moment. In the Senate two bills of great importance were under consideration, which, how ever, did not gut beyond second read ing. The first was an act to establish a general banking law, introduced by Senator Randall, of P hiladelphia--the other was an act relating tQ evidence, that is warmly pressed by Mr. Coffey, of Indiana. in many particulars the provisions of the first are exceedingly -objectionable, and should not be adopt ed unless their feasibility and general utility are clearly establisneo. One section authorises the Courts of Com mon Pleas of this Commonwealth to grant bunk charters, a feature in the bill which will never receive the legislative &unction. The measure is ardently ad vocated by the gentleman who has the bill in charge, and will be thorough ! ly discussed before the vote upon its final passage is taken. The bill relat ing to evidence, permitting parties in terested in suits to become witnesses and removing many disabilities in the way of testimony, was ably discussed by Messrs. Coffey, Bell, Finney, and Palmer; and, from the indications manifested on Thursday, will give rise to a general debate. The propositions in the bill are of a novel character, and will, if adopted, entirely change the law of evidence in Pennsylvania. There is much interest felt in regard to two rival Philadelphia Passenger Railroad bills, and it is said that large te "'bee are offered members for their support of one or the other. In regard to bore, s, we quote further from the Ga zette's letter : It is impossible to turn around in Har risburg, without stumbling upon a bor er.

Mason oilfired an iteportaht amendment by the Way of sabot tats, to the effect that Congress approves the policy of the message of the President., respecting the propriety and ultimate necessity of acquiring Cuba. That without any future meas ures, should etreunistanoss render snob necessary, at present Congress con fines itself to a declaration that the toited States is prepared to receive the Island whenever Spaiewill transfer it for a fair equivalent, and that this gov ernment can never be neutral under any policy which would sever Cuba from Spain in favor of any . foreign I power. Mr. CoHamer made a speech against the acquisition of Cuba,and Mr. Mallory argued strongly in favor of it. In the House, the Speaker stated that tho pending question was on the Motion of Mr. Phillips, made last Monday, to suspend the rules to enable him to in troduce a bill providing for the pay men t of the outstanding Treasury notes, and authorising a loan of 621,000,000 for six fears, at a rate of interest not exceeding 6 per cent. per annum, regu lating and fixing the defies on I*ports, and for other purposes. The bill was read for inlbrenation, when the question was taken on sus pending the rules, and decided in the segstive---yoss 122, says 91, not two tkirda in the affirmative. It is said that this vote may render an extra session necessary. All the Deukierats from Pennsylvania voted for the suspension of the rules. —An unsneoessfal attempt was made in the House on Wednesday to bring up the tariff question, V Mr., Mont gomery, of this State, but his motion coming in the shape of an amendment to the post office appropriation bill, it was ruled out of order. —ln the House, on Thursday, Kr. Hinson, of Va., after some remarks up. on the tariff and in opposition to high duties, proceeded to refute the charge of extravagan texpend ito res i n the Navy Department. When gentlemen com pared the expenditures with those of some years back, they fbrget that In the last ten years we had added twenty-nine vessels to the navy. This, of course, entailed an increased expenditure for subsistence of men, repairs, &e. Oa the average our ves sels of war required renewing every ten years. Gentlemen complained of the expense of keeping up arsenals and navy-yards. He could show, by the figures, that the appro priation now asked fbr navy-yards was Less, by $500,000, than the averse of the last ten years. It had been said that Bngland had but two navy-yards, and why should we have so many ? This was a grave error. Besides her immense naval establishments at borne, she had others at the Cap* of Good Hope, Gibraltar,Malta, the Bast and West Indies, S outh America, and, in feet, wherever she had possessions. He then examined the appropiistion of about $11,000,000 pro .. by the bill, and said it was $200,11 lees than the average of the last five years. This he did not think Indicated extravagance, nor furnished ground for complaint of the rapid increase of expenditures. ne-The U. S. Senate, on Friday, passed a hilt increasing letter postage to five cents, and abolishing the frank ing privilege. The House has yet to set upon it. A number of Tariff projects aro be fore the House—but no one can pre. dies with accuracy what will be done in the premises. IMO air The Cbapoldr, quoting from the Lancaster batettiracer, states that the bill increasing the pay atOsegralsmen, was passed by "the Black Republican Congress of 1855." This is a bold 1111sebood.—Star of Fliday l? We are within the record when we state that after the Congressional elections of 18541-4, the Star jubilantly claimed--ander the head of rooetars, cannon, and other "crowing" devices —that the "Americans" and Republi cans had secured a majority in the House of Representativ es, and, of course, made loud promises of reform la national affairs. If there was no each majority, the Star was guilty of "bold falsehood !" One or the other "burn of the dilemma" mast be ac cepted. But this is not thefirst time that one of the Star's two or three amateur edi tors has "put hie foot into" what some other one of them bad previously said. The thing is beooming oommon. Every school boy knows that the act to increase the pay of members of Con gress was passed while the Opposition had a considerable majority in that body. There is no room for contro versy on this score,—and they had as well shoulder the responsibility—swal low the pill—and say as little about "ox. tra pay " as possible.

Pennsylvania and the lrirlAr., Tho Opposition during the last cam paign labored arduously and -indus triously to convince thethat the Democracy of Penneyenu tmm were in imical to the interests of the State.— No assertion was too false, and no slan der too vile for them to use to convince the intelligent voters of Pennsylvania that the Democratic party of the State were opposed to an increase pf the duty on iron, or to any policy that would operate to arouse and benefit the great iron interests of the State. The unanimous Democratic vote in the Legislature of Pennsylvania, or. the tariff resohstious lately passed by that body, and A. official pm:leading* of Congress, and the unofficial course of the Democratic members of Congrees from Pennsylvania, have utterly given the lie to the false charges of the oppo sition against the fealty sadder:4,lon of I the Democracy of the Keystone to the interests and welfare of tho Cornmea l/44kb. If any one fact has been eluci dated- by the proceedings of Congress, this winter, it is the devotion of the on tire Democratic delegation from this State to the interests of Pennsylvania. They have proved it incontrovertibly by their votes and speeches in the halls of Congress, and by their private and unofileMlaction. It stands forth prom inently. Evess the most casual reader of tho debates °fails sesskm, mast have been struck with it, could not have failed to have been convinced of the fact that the Democratic party of Penn sylvania is true, devoted, loyal to her interests. They hare indeed labored arduously and untiringly in -behalf or the iron masters of this State, and we trust that it will prove in the end to have been offeetivery. The men who a few months ago protested roost loudly, even from the very house tops, their devotion to Pennsylvania interests, and abused and misrepresented the Dome cracy, have fallen into the back ground, contented no doubt with what they had done at home, and have left to the Democratic delegation the work of se curing some •legialatioa in favor of the iron manufacturers of the State. We are proud to see that every man of our delegation in Congress, has stood up to the work, and has fought manful ly and energetically for some modifica tion of the tariff favorable to the de pressed iron manufacturers, and cake lated to benefit them. They have to a man steed up in defence of the Presi dent's recommendaticnr for speedo du ties on certain articles of commerce.— Not one of them has proved recreant, faint hearted or timfil. They have stood shoulder to shoulder, and as one man, and, as it were, with one voice, fought in defence of the interests of. the State. Whore all have done so well, it would perhaps be in bid taste to sin gle oat any particular one, bus *I can not refrain from commending fisoasor Bigler, for his powerful sumrtill the President's recommendation in his an nual message, and his 'Solent efforts and exertions to secure some increase of the tariff at this session. Biome's& speech in the Senates the question is a powerful effort. We remt that its length debars as iron pabWaing It has been the &shies of late with some would-be Statesman, and disappointed office seekers, to underrate Senator Big ler. He can well look down will coo temp t upon their futile efforts. Senator Bigfer's lste tariff speeoh, in the Senate, will endear him more than over to the people of this State.
