FVENING 8 WASHINGTON cIiTy: TUESDAY... ry 10, 1867. The Union says: December 20, bas been re- ives lattes te Commissioner of Patents from t of the sugar cane expedi poker aeaem of the letter four hundred cases of cb sugar-cane cuttings = a put up at rgetown, Demarara, and the expedition, in accordance with the in- | structions they bad received, were about to procesd to Carraceas or La; — to complete theircargo The arrival of thie expedition is now daily looked for at New Orleans.”’ The Union contends that in setting at defi- ance all precedent in their course upon swear ing fn Senator Fitch yesterday, the Republi- cap managers evinced most extraordinary want of tact. The Intelligencer argues in effect that all the trouble concerning the legality of the [n- diana Legislature grows out of some defect in the organic law of the State, and calls atten- tion to the fact that the Republicans of the Senate (of Indiana) who protest sgainst the eleotion of Messrs Fitch and Bright, them- selves perpetrated an unconstitutional eet to obtain a msjority by expelling a Democratic member and foisting one of their own party in his place, while their Democratic fellow sena- tors were in the hall of the lower House en- gaged in electing United States Senatore. oe WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. The Wagon (Miltary) Roads to Cal:for- nis.—The bill that passed the Houce yester- May is calculated to prove of insalculable | benefit to the whole country. While (on be- coming a law) it secures reads for the over- land emigration to the Pacific slope—for thore starting west frum the north,centre and south,— | ft secures them all from molestation from | hostile savages; for itis utterly impossible that the presence upon these roads of the immense etreams of emigrant: who are tu be constantly traversing them, and of the settlements of hardy frontiermen who will equat there to supply the many wants of the emigration, can fail to prove ample protection against the In- dians, within a twelve-month after the ways shall have been opened. They will serve to make the various overland routes to California almost as well known to the country at large as many of the great routes of travel in the heart of the Atlantic States now are. Thus, we believe that they will satisfy the world of the utter impossibility of constructing a rai! road between the settled portions of the east- ern slope and the Pacific coast, (certainly ex- cept by the southernmost route, if that be not impracticable also, exvept at a cost of milliors of dollars, where the most expensive railroads so far constructed in this country hare cost hundreds of thousands,) while they will sec- commodate all the real necossities of cverland intercourse, which are becoming more pressing daily, cwing to the ctate of things on the Nic- areguan Isthmus, so full of warning for the fature with reference to the propriety of open- ing some convenient way for the cunveyarce of troops and military stores between the two isolated portions of the Union which shall be wholly within the jurisdiction of our own country. The bill to which we refer above appropr:- ates for three military rcads as follows, viz 1. The proposed rcad from Fort Kearney, by the South Pass, to California, starts ata point where the emigrants from all the West- ern and Northwestern States, including Mis- souri, unite and take s common road tkence to Californie. The appropriation for this is $300,000. 2. For the road from near El Paso, on the western frontier of Texas, to the Colorado, op- posite Fort Yuma, on the southwestern boun™ dary of California. The appropriation is $200,000. 3. For the road from Fort Defiance, in the Apache ccuntry, to the mouth of the Mohave river, near the California line. The appre priation is $50,000. This road effords an out- let for the people of New Mexico to drive their stock to California—there being alrendy a road from Santa Fe to Fort Defiance The Investigating Committee—Mr si- monton, the Washington correspondent of the New York Times, was yerterday discharged from thecustody of the Sergeant-at-Arms by the Houze, on the recommendation of the committee named abore. He is understood to hare an- ewered all the questions put to him on hia last examination. [tis said around the city that he has testified that he has no knowledge thet any mewber of Congress was ever paid a do!- lag or was ever offered s dollar fr his vote on apy question Innumerable rumors are afloat with reference to the testimony of various in- dividaals before this committee, all of whi-h eppear te bs ‘of a piece We hare e littie confidence in any cf them. as to induce us to refrain from repeating them in the Sa’. The oummittee can hardly report during the cur- rent week, as the Hon. Mr. Gilbert is said to have gone North for witnesses material to his own defence against an allegetion against him embraced in the comwittee’s budget Our impression is, that the report of the committee when made, will fail toembrace any Proof whatever that any member of Congress was ever paid ur offered a dollar for a vote though the investigation has certainly been the most thorough and searching known to the history of the Congress of the United States. Surmises and inuendves which, if we are not mistaken. form the bulk of the testi- mony cf the credible witnesses examined, amount to nothing, though their publication may bave a good effect on the future of the legislation at ‘his point; while the probable entire failure to make out a tangible case against apy wember, after so severe scrutiny as bas taken place, will show to the world how little reliance is to be placed in the won- derful revelations of the wonder- mongering press. Great Cry and Little Wool.—The defeat of the scheme of the Republicans to prevert Sen- tion! His discomfiture created uprosrious mirth throughout the chamber. The effort of Senator Bright was an eloquent and able defence of the action of the Legisla- ture of his State in the case ; and with the rote of the heavy mejority admitting Dr. Fitch to his seat, composed as it was of all the Demo- erats and all the opposition members of the body, except twelve, will servé to show in glow- ing light tothe country on what extremely frivolous grounds the effort is being made to defeat in this case the will and action of the majority of the Indiana Legislature. Superlative Impudence.—In all the annals of criminal jurisprudence a more striking ex emplification of impudence was never seen, than that embraced in the pretence of the fiilibueters in New York, that the persona that are being sent by Fabens to Niearagua are peaceable emigrants, and not recruits for Walker’s band. Not a man thus sent out there up to this time has labored in agricul- ture, while every one of them have been en- gaged in some capacity or other in Walker's army. All the the world know these facts, yet these people in New York are still prc- testing to the contrary. This goes ahead— far ahead, indeed—of the ‘‘ moral insanity” plea for Huntington’s benefit. A Meeting of the Reserved Officers —We understand that there waa a mesting last night of the Officers reserved and dropped under the operation of the Naval Reform law. Commodore Jones is said to have been in the in the Chair. Wo hear that all of the officers in question were notified some time since of this meeting, designed simply to determine whether in tho future prosecution of their case they should act in concert under the guidance of able counsel, to be employed by them jointly—a eonsible move, doubtiess. We have not learned what transpired on the occa- sion. A Commissioner to Run the Northwest- ern Boundary —We have satisfied curself that Archibald Campbell, Erq., the present efficient and able chief clerk ef the War De- partmect, has been nominated by the Presi- dent to ba the Commissioner on the part of this Government ty run the Northwestern Boandary, under the treaty with Great Brit- air, and the act of August I1, 1856 Appointed and Confirmed —We under- etand that the Senate, on Saturday last, o firmed the nomination of the Hon. D. A. Smalley, to be the U.S. District Judge for the District of Vermont, rise Prentiss, decd. The Submarine Telegraph Rill was refer- rei to the Post Office Affairs Committee to- day. Its friends seem to regard this action es equivalent to its defeat. Supreme Court —Yesterday, J. Wagner Jermon, Esy., of Pennsylvania, was admitted an attorney and counsellor of this Court. No. 50.

Fitch should be sworn in as a Senator from indiana on the certificate of the Governor of that State, and to refer his credentials to their Judiciary Com mittee, was continued 4 Messrs. Bright, Douglas, Toombs, Pugh, Rusk, Butler, Mal- lory, Bayard, Hunter, Toucey, Benjamin, and Bell of Tenn , for it, and Messrs. frumbull, Seward, Hale. Nourse, Wilson, and Harlan against it In the course ofthis debate, Mr. Bright said that he did notintend to be betrayed into any- thiog like an argument in relation to this mat- ter now, for the reason that it would be an in- dignity to the State which he had the honor torepresent Mr Fitch claimed to be elected by a majority vote; and he had received it. At the proper time he would show that this protest was false from beginning toend. He would not go into the argument until the oath should have been administered to his col- lesgue, as was the uniform practice; and he thought the object of this argument in ad- Yance was to preoceupy the public mind zo as tu prevent an impartial investigation of the facts in ths caso He expressed tbe opinion that the Senators from New York and Lilinois, (Messrs. Seward and Trumbull.) had been the counseilers and advisers in endeavoriug to pre- vent an election of Senators in Indiana, and sought to take advantage of the state of th now existing in that State But in spite of their efforts there had beeu an election; Mr. Fitch received 53 out of 150 votes of the reg- ularly commissioned senators and representa- tives of the State of Indiana ; and when this question should have been investigated by the Proper committee, and all the facts fairly can- vassed, he thought there could be no doubt but that the Senate would decide in favor of the legality and constitutionality of the elec- tion. He charged the course of the two Sen- ators named, in objecting to the administer- ing of the oath, as being unpariiamentary d unheard of; for he could refer to prece- dent after precedent to sustain the course he now proposed The question being put on the resolution of Mr. Bright, it was agreed to—yeas 3, nays 12, as follows : Yeas—Messrs. Adams, Allen, Bayard, Be.l of Tenn., Biggs. Big'er, bright, Brown, Butler, Cass, Clay, Dodge, Evans, Fitzpatrick, Geyer, Green, Hunter, James, Johnson, Jones of lowa, Mallory, Mason, Pratt, Pugh, Reld, Rusk Sebas’ tlan, Sildel!, stuart, Toombs, Toucey, Weller, and Yulee—33 eye Mesaes- Coilamer, Crittenden, Fessen- den, Foot, Foster, Hale, Harlan. Nourse, Seward, ‘Thompson of Ky , Wade, and Wilson—12. Senators whose names are not on this list Gave, as reasons, when their names were called. that they had ‘paired off.”’ Is tHe Hovsg, the motion to suspend the rules for the consideration of the resolution re- ator Fitch from being sworn in yesterday, was | P°''*d by Mr. Barbour from the Judiciary precisely what might have been expected To have accommodated them would have been to have ignored all the former practice of the body ia such cases, from the foundation of the Government to this hour. The fact that the Republicans sought to set an entire new pre- cedent in this effort to prevent Senator Fitch from being sworn in on Governor Willard’s certificate of bis election, is apparent in the ex- posure made by Senator Mallory, who answer- ed the elaborate speech of Mr. Hale, simply by confronting bim in open Senate with his (Mr. H.’) speech on the question of his own (Mr. Mallory’s) right to be swornin under pre- cisely similar circumstances, wherein Mr. Hale srgued quite as vehemently and with much more foree on the opposite side of the ques- Committee directing the impeachment of John C. Watrous, Judge of the United St: thi district of Texas, was debated ae ios by Messrs. Bocock, Campbell! of Uhio., Simmons, Cobb of Ga, Boyce. Wakeman, Marshall of Ky., and Evans, until it was agreed to—yeas 152, nays 32 Mr. Barbour then moved to tpone tl subject until the 17th, and that oo. ean while the testimony in the case be collected by the Judiciary Committee and printed. And then, after further debate, in which Messrs. Boyce, Wakeman and Quitman par- ticipated, this was amended s0 as to substitute Saturday the 2ist inat , forthe 17th; it was to “Oe mation of Me Gamptafl af Ohi, the | hour of meeting for the b of the session » 2. Pelated on tie Heh lime to laventigate, cet 0 int i Cain alleged eoprapt comabinetions on ibe part: of members, submitted the following special report: - PT hat James W Simonton, now in the cus- tody of the Sergeant at-Arms, has been again summoned before your committee, and his re- sponses to the ions propounded to him are such as render be reg in the opinion of the committee, to examine him any further. Un- der tvese circumstances the committee do not de- sire that the said Simonton should be detained longer in custody fm erder to compel him to tes- tify wih tothe investigation ordered by the House, and therefore submit the follew- ing resolution : Resolved, That James W . Simonton, now in Custody of the Sergeant-at-Arms of this House, be dischaiged.”” The question was taken, and the resolution was agreed to. After the transaction of some further busi- ness, they adjourned. Proceedings of To-Day. In rae Senate, to-day, the Chair laid be- fore them the President's reply (with accom- anying documents) to the reaolution for in- formation concerning the proclamation of mat- tial law in Washington Territory; referred, & e Mr. Pearce gave notice of a bill providing the time and manner of electing Senators of the United States by the Legislatures of the several States. Mr. Rusk moved that the credentials of Graham N. Fitch, as a Senator from Indiana, the proceedings of the Senate of the State, and the protest of sundry members of the House of Representatives of that State, with refor- ence to the election of Mr Fitch be referred to the Judiciary Committee. Mr_ Toombs (on the previous suggestion of Mr Butler) moved to amend that motion by making the reference to a select committee, which gave rise to adebate that was {n pro- gress as the Star went to press. Is tue Hovse, the bill to establish the col- lection districts of the United Siates, and to define the ports of entry, 4c., was laid on the table, after a previous call of the Housa. The question then arvee on the pending mo- tion to commit to the Commitiee of the Whole on the state of the Union the Submarine Tele- graph bill. The amendment to the bill proposed by Mr. Pennington was withdrawn, and under the operation of the previous question (moved and seconded) the motion to commit to the Com- mittee of the Whole was not agreed tu—yeas 83, neys 101. The question was then put on the motion to refer the bill to the Committee on Pest Uffice Affairs; which wes agreed to —yoas 99, nays 87. The House then wont into Committee on the Tariff question, (Mic H. Marshall of Ker- tucky. iu the chair,) and taking up the Tariff bill, Mr. Boyce was engaged in delivering a oh germain to that subject as the Star Went to pr - D> wane The New York Murder Case Several witnesses were examincd yesterday inthe Burdellcase. Drs. Blaisdell and Smith, both having business connections with Dr Burdell, testified to their belief that the latter was at Saratoga on the 25th of October, tho date of the alleged marriage Dr. Blaisdell also testified that cortain papers found io Eckel’s eeeceerel delete | to have passed between Dr Burdell and Mre Cunningham, were forgeries Miss Sallenlad, corset maker, testified that one evening late in Ostober Mrs Cunningham and her eldest daughter came to her mother's house to await the arrival of a gentleman The latter came and said “all right,’”’ and then the three went all together The witness was here conducted into anoth- er room where there were several persons, and requested to point out the man tkat called for Mrs Cunninghem, when she unheaitatingly pointed to Mr. Eskel. [The theory of the prosecution is that the night alluded to was the one on which Mrs Cunningham olaims to have been m:rried toDr Burdeil J Eokel was then called up. but refused to answer the interrogatories on the plea that he was a party implicated! An exciting discue- sion here ensued between the counsel of Eckel and the State’s Attorney William Burdell, of Columbus, Ohio, a brother of the deceased, bas given notice of his intention to apply ior letters of adminis- tration The New York Herald, refering to the ex- citing scene at the City Hall, on Saturday» says: “Both Mr. Eckel and Mr. Snodgrags were compelled to submit to the annoyance of bay- ing a curious and tumultuous crowd at their heels, on their journey from the Towbs to the court room to await the decision of the judge. In the court room Mr Eckel expressed his an- Boyance to the officers accompanying him, and said it made his flesh creep to see the mass of eager faces that were turned tewards him, in all of which he saw, or thought he saw a be- lief that he was a wurderer. To the preceed- inge on the inquest he could isterpose no ob jection, nor to the comments of the newspa- ere, with the few facts that had been cliciced, ut the readiness of the populece to believe him iortrumental in the death of Dr Burdell, and to leok upon him in that light, made hin shudder “The ofiisers, at his request, disguised him £0 as tu deceive the crowd when be leit the hellon his way tothe Tombs. Ano:ber man put on his overcoat and hat, and was taken tu the tombs by (flicer Masterson, the crowd fol- lowing under the supposition that they saw Mr. Fekel He, however, had on another overcoat than his own, closely buttoned up, and acapon. Ile took the arm of the oficer and walked out by the rear of the City Hail and into Broadway without being recognized by any one. To the policemen he strongly protested his innocence, and said that public epinion must change with regard to him before agrest while. Ile was not intimate with D-. Burdeil, and bad no particular reason tu do him apy injury. His remarks were hopeful, and be expressed hir conviction that no harm would come to him, as the real culprit would doubtless sovn be discovered. They reached the Tomls without being recognized. While entering the court room, Mra. Can ningham met with asligbt, though fur a time, painful accident king with her head ent, to evade, probably, the piercing glances of those congregated, she struck her head with et violence against one of the half-open ors. The blow stunned her for a moment, and seemed as though going to fall. but one of the attendant officers caught her and convey- ed her to hor ssat, where she soon recovered.” The New York Sun says : ‘Eckel is a manof mild appearance, having what is termed « Hebrew or Jewish face, He i3 a native of New Jersey, 34 years of age, and is much thought of by the butchers in the city, particularly by the German portion of them, it is gsid, for his prompt and fair dealing.

Finding it impossible to cross (coming North) at the gap in the Long Bridge, he procured wagons and conveyed the mail—more than 120 bags— along the tow-path of the Alexandria Canal to the Aqueduct, across which he conveyed them by hand, delivering the whole safely at the Washington City Post Office at 1 a m. They embraced two full through (New Or- leens) mails. A A Coo. Vituatx.—The Boston Traveler ites that during a visit of the Committee of Legislature on Prisons to the State Prison, on Wednesday, Cater, the murderer of the late warden, was taken out of hiacell into the passage way, for the purpose of giving the committee a better opportunity of judging of his mental and physical condition. “Cater was handcuffed at the time, and while in the pres- ence of the committee, he took a piece of a spoon handle from under his sleeve, and with it managed to unlock his handcuffs and free his hands, nearly as quickly as it could have been doue by another person with a proper key. The committee manifested their astonishment at the act, and Cater obzerving it, coolly re- marked, with an oath, ‘‘You don’t suppose I’m ee enough to sleep with them things on mo, 0 you”? tap The cores of Lafayette, Ind , are striving to wake a manufacturing metroplis of theirtown.
