The Intelligencer elaborately reviews the Enlistment question in an article of great power most gracefully written, wherein the editor adheres to his previously published views against the course of the Administration throughout the embroglio. The Union announces a call for a Maryland Democratic State Convention, on Wednesday the 30th of April next, at Baltimore, to nomi- mate an electoral ticket, &c. The Union also shows the false pretence involved in clothing Andrew Jackson Donelson with the akin of the dead lion—Jackson. Fivanctan.—Wm. H. Garland, the im- peached defaulting treasurer of New Orlcans, is said to have pocketed over two hundred thousand dollars from the city treasury : ** 1 he Emperor Eu ‘tis said, Two bundred doliars often paid For flowers from a fairy far land; But New Orleans can fairly boast 1t gives—a somewhat bigier cost— 42wo hundred thourand for a Garland!” A Desenven CompLiment.—We find the following notice of one of our most enterpri- sing busicess men, in a letter from this city, published in the Montgomery Mail: “Joe Shillington, the celebrated literary king of our metropolis, corner of 44 street and Pennsylvania avenue, has fitted up his “‘shanty,”’ in a style of magnificence equal to any in the United States Ail the magazines and newspapers, both foreign and domestic, as well as the choice literary publications of the day, are supplied by Joe, who isa clever, persevering and go-ahead individual.’’ Tux Sectionat QuaRRet between the Bos- ton Post andthe New Orleans Picaywne is kept up with great spirit, but the present cold snap has rather “tuckered out’ the gallant northerner. He says in Tuesday’s Post, after quoting the thermometer at seven degrees be- low zero : “We see py the New Orleans Picayune of February 29th that the editors of that paper have caught two honey bees, and placed them between the leaves of a blank book. We have caught an almighty bad cold, and are ocm- pelied to place it between thick blankets! and presume our ‘‘catch’’ will leave a worse sting than will the Louisiana bee !’” Herrew Bart —We find in our New Or- leans exchanges glowing accounts of the eleventh annual fancy-ball given by the He- brew Benevolent Society of thatcity. Of the many festivites of the like character in that region of social amusement, few if any enjoy ahigher reputation or are more deserving thereof. The event is looked forward to for one-half the year, and remembered the other; not only by those fair faces which make its charm and attractiveness, but also by others who have small opportunity besides, for secing how the olive of Palestine and Europe pre- Serves its tone in Americ: how the black eyes which Scott's Rebecca have made immor- tal glow when transplanted to the new world.

WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP, The Committee on Military Affairs —Mr. Speaker Banks has taken due care to aboli- tionize the Military Affairs Committee, though to accomplish that end he has been forced to overlook every member except one, who from serving personally in the field, has become practically acquainted with military matters. The ‘‘Culled Bredren,” though great advo- cates for Sharpe’s rifles in Kansas, are famous for being possessed of constitutional horror of assosiations likely to afford them opportuni- ties to become personally acquainted with military matters, They are, as a class, gen- tlemen of brave words, indeed, in debate, But we have yet to hear of the first occasion in which any one of them has gone through the apprenticeship, even in reading, likely to make him particularly qualified to aid in guiding and directing the action of Congress on the military affairs of the government. Gen. John A. Quitman, of Mississippi, is very appropriately at the head of this com- mittee. After his distinguished services at head of his brigade throughout the Mexican war, he could not have been placed, with de- cency, any where else than in that position, notwithstanding his politics. As a soldier, all the world know him; as a legislator, he may be classed among the most ardent States rights Democrats of the House; his peculiar school of Democratic politics being of the Cal- houn or South Carolina order. His address is capital as an orator, though his voice is not good. His speeches show him to be the pos- sessor of a cultivated mind, and of sentiments on all things guided wholly by a nice sense of right and wrong He is very effective in the Hall, because he is eminently sensible in all he does there, and, withall, ecrupulously just in his views. Mr. John Allison, of Pennsylvania, is an old member. A lawyer by profession, he en- tered Congress originally a Whig, but has gradually become a follower of Mr. Giddings, as that gentleman’s school of politics has been gradually coming into favor in the North. His experience inthe Hall gives him great weight with his party, few of whom are effective legis- lative attorneys. He isa gentleman of good abilities, and makes his points in debate well; though he usually contrives to occupy so ul- tra grounds as that none others except those who are his particular political friends can coincide with him. Mr. William R. Sapp, of Ohio, was also a member of the last House, though a quiet one. He is a lawyer by profession, and a man of sense. Originally a Whig, he is now a Republican-party man, going all lengths with Messrs. Giddings, &c. He makes no pretensions to be a general debater, but al- ways transacts the business he undertakes in the Hall in a business-like way, and with much success. Mr. Charles J. Faulkner, of Virginia, was also a member of the iast Congress, and after the withdrawal of Col. Bissell, of Illinois, be- came the chairman of the Military Affairs Committee, to the business of which he has long devoted himself with great energy, in. dustry, and success. No gentleman has dis- charged the duties of the position more satis- factorily to all interested in the efficiency of the army, in twenty-five years past, than Mr- Faulkner. He is a lawyer by profession, and politically is a Democrat. He is a man of quite as much erudition and general attain- ments as any other member of the House, having been longa hard student Aga de- bater he acquits himself with great credit, though he avoids, as far as possible, interfer- ing in the proceedings of the body, except where his constituents or State may be inter- ested, or in conneetion with matters appro- priately appertaining to the business of his committee. Mr. John Williams, of New York, is a new member. At home he has been a merchant miller, we believe, rather than a lawyer. Mr. W. bas not yet essayed to make a speech in the Hall, and, we fancy, makes no pretensions to oratory. He has, however, evinced fine capacities for business, and is exceedingly popular with his fellow members; which he will doubtless turn to advantage for the in- terest of his constituents. Politically, he is one of the staunchest Democrats in the cham- ber. Mr. Benjamin Stanton, of Ohio, was a mem- ber of the last Congress. He entered publio life a follower of Mr. Giddings, and has been that! gentleman’s right-hand man up to this time. He is a lawyer, professionally, and a member of good abilities; but so ultra in his abolitionism, as that his capabilities avail him little for effectiveness. Mr, James W. Denver, of California, is a new member, and a Democrat. He is a gen- tleman of few words and excellent sense. We predict for him a careor of great usefulness for his State, as he has already achieved un- usual weight with all his fellow members who have come to know him well, without trou- bling the House for twenty minutes since the session opened. So much for his so evident great sagacity and discretion. —Mr. James Buffington, of Massachusetts, also a new member, is a merchant by profes- sion, and was a Whig formerly. Now he pro- fesses to be a member of the Know Nothing party, and will go Republicanism with reluc- tance, we take it. He may not now be inclined tosupport Fillmore and Donelson; but we know that the wing of his party at home with whom he hasso far acted—the anti-Wilson wing—is rapidly organizing in favor of tho Philadelphia nomination; and we presume that when he finds thathe must go over to the Republican organisation or stand with the supporters of F. and D., he will be found with the latter. His experience as a business man bids fair to make him avery serviceable member, his address being such as to concili- ate all towards him with whom he is thrown in contact. Mr. Cadwalader C. Washburne, of Illinois, is a lawyer by profession, though of late years he has devoted his attention principally to tumbergetting. Like his brothers, from Maine and Illinois, he is sharp and shrewd, and has given over Whiggery for intense Abolitioniam. He is doubtless capable of making an effective member in the transaction of the business of legislation, As yet he has not favored the House with a specimen of hig ability asa debater. It Don’t Pay.—Last night it was very geuerally conceded among the public men who congregate inthe usual places for ex- changing opinions, in this city, that ‘‘shrick- ing for Freedom” over the Kansas contested election case in the course of the debate which it is proposed to bring to close to day, has signally failed to pay. Or, in other words, that the result of the de bate has been to make it so plain, that all now comprehend the fact that the cause of those who dub themselves the Free State party of Kansas, has nothing whatever but the perversion of truth and sheer pretences to depend on. Not a single item of proof of the truth of the allegations on which the power to send for persons and papers is asked, has been attempted to be ad- duced by any one of the many gentlemen who have advocated the adoption of the resolution to that end. The unsupported assertions of the partisan writers for the New York Tribune and Times, so often and so completely exploded by the publication of refutations direct from Kansas, form the whole of the testimony on which power is asked to enable the abolition Com mittee of Elections to pay for the services of the gang of wandering abolitionists, who, after spending some months in Kansas, doing their best to set quiet people by the ears there, are now begging money and Sharpe's rifles throughout the non-slaveholding States, to turn the trouble they have made in the Terri- tory into treason. Up to this time, these po- litical adventurers have lived on the contri- butions of the credulous. They now seek to get quartered on the Treasury, by being sent for to attend the Elections Committee as wit- nesses in the Kansas clection case during most of the approaching Presidential canvass; and and they propose to devote all their time when hore to the work of gratuitously writing to abolition newspapers against the South, and such Northern members as decline be coming identified with the Republican party Such is the explanation of the persons and Papers dodge, contrived only to accomplish that particular end. As we remark above, its supporters have lost ground woefully throughout tho debate because that has made it plain that their case isa mere budget of the sheerest false pretences. We have no idea that their reso- lution can possibly command the support of a majority of the House, though it is very probable that a commission will be sent to Kansas to take testimony. The result of their journey will be more fully to expose the con- spiracy and intrigues of the emigrant aid so cieties and the Abolitionists in the Territory to carry their points by frauds, misrepresent- ations, and violence. The New Election Law.—Herewith we publish at length the bill to regulate elections in this city, reported yesterday by Mr. Meacham from the House Committee on the District of Columbia, and made a special crder for Tuesday next: A Bitt defining therights of votersand the duties «f commissioners of elections in the city of Washington. and for other purposes, Be tt enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That from and after the passage of this act every free white male resident of the city of Washing- ton, (vagrants, paupers, felons, and person: nop compos mentis excepted.) who shall have resided in the said city one year immediately receding the day of election, and who shall be a citizen of the United States and twenty- one years of age at the time he offers to vote, and shall have paid the school-tax, and ali taxes on personal property due from him, shall be entitled to vote in the ward of which he shal! have been for one month previous to the day of election, and is on the day thereof, a bona-fide resident, for Mayor, members of the Board ot Aldermen and Common Council, Register.

In the Senate, yesterday, after we went to press, the resolution of Mr. Bigler, instruct- ing the Library Committee to inquire into the expediency of subscribing for 5,000 copies of Dr. Kane’s forthcoming Arctic expedition work at $5 per copy, and Mr. Brodhead’s substitute therefor, to appropriate $25,000 for the benefit of Dr. Kane, were debated be- tween Messrs. Seward and Brodhead for the | substitute, and Mr. Bigler for the original resolution. Mr Bigler, at last, accepted the amendment, and Pending the question on it, the morning hour expire uestion Hale to army was again taken up. The pending was on the motion of Mr. strike out the proviso. mains Mr. Brown resumed and con:luded the re- | forward. p marks commenced by bim a day or two since | him away. on the subject of British recruiting in the United States. He sustained with much elo- uence and ability the position assumed by r. Marcy and Mr. Buchanan in relation to this topic ; and paid deserved compliments to the State papers on the American side of the controversy. Mr. Mallory agreed with the viows express- ed by the senator from Mississippi. He did not believe that there would be any war with England ; there ought to be none; but if war should occur, our resourecs would be unlimit- ed. He alluded to the action of the Spanish government in 1848, when the English minis. ter was ordered to quit the capital within forty-eight hours, or sooner if possible, for in- terfering with the domestic concerns of the Spanish government. There could be no im- propriety in sending home the British minis- ter under our present circumstances. Without sty 3 the question, the further consideration of t ment was then postponed for the day. Mr. Brodheat’s bill constituting any two of the judges of the Claims Court a quorum for the transaction of business, and authorizing the appointment of an assistant solicitor thereto, was next discussed by many mem- bers; after which the bill was passed; and then they adjourned. In the House, discussion on the resolution for persons and papers in the Kansas con- tested election case was continued by Messrs. Parviance and Todd for it, and Messrs. Har- ris of [linoie, and Letcher against it. Mr. Washburn, of Maine, next obtained tho floor, when the House adjourned. Proceedings of To-Day. In the Senate, to-day, after the presenta- tion of petitions, &c., and after sundry other ane morning business was transacted— Mr. Johuson reported back from the Print- ing Committee the resolution to print 62,000 copies of the majority and minority reports of the Territorial Committee on the Kansas ques- tion, with an amendment substituting 31,000 for the proposed 62,000 extra copies thereof, and providing that the two reports shall be printed in one document. On the question of agreeing to this resolu- tion, Mr. Trumbull addressed the Senate in favor of the views presented in the minority report. In the House, numerous bills and resolu- tions were introduced them one by Mr. Oliver, of N. Y., which was adopted, as follows: Resolved, That the Secretary of the Inte: rior be directed to communicate to this House, in connection with his response to the resolu- tion soparuing he expense of completing the bridge at the Little ) passed on the 10th M® Penrsyivanii ig ‘OS.
