THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: TUESDAY --- April 12. 1860, Spirit of the Morning Press. The Constitution suggests to Covode & Co., that, in order to increase their reputation for political immaculacy and incorruptibility, they had better turn their rat-smelling propensities towards the Republican Legislatures of Pennsylvania and New York, whicn seem to be in rather bad odor with their respective constituencies just at the Present time.

He admitted by all sound Democrats to be the first statesman in the land, and the man ef all others who should be elected, if possible.

He adduced several authorities to prove that the arpa. oe of the slaves in the British it India Islands bad proved most disastrous to that jovermment. The system of labor in the Southern ites was a cause of the predominance of the United States commercially; and in view of this fact the Exeter Hall politicians of England were endeavoring to break it down, and at the same time fostering the coolie system zs a substitute of their own. , Mr. Clingman obtained the floor, and the sub- ject was The Homestesd bill was then taken up, wh upon the Senate adjourned. Tere Hovse.—Mr. Morse asked leave to introduce a resolution calling on the President to communi- cate to the House certain information in respect to = the African siave trade, the correspondence with foreign Governments, the instructions to naval officers and American consuls, the number of seizures made by American vessels-of-war, the number of slavers condemned by tae courts, when and by whom fitted out, whether, in his opinion, any further legislation is requisite for effectually extinguishing the trade, the cost of maintaining the African squadron and captured Africans, &c. Mr. Keitt objected to the resolution, but ‘ulti- mately withdrew the objection, and the Tesolution was ado} 5 On motion of Mr Grow, Wednesday and Thurs- day, May 2d and 3d, were set apart for territerial business. Mr. Winslow, of N.C. privilege, and called for the reading of the of the majority and minority of the Special inves- tigating committee, of which Mr Covode is chair- man, in the case of Mr. Augustus Scheil, collector of the port of New York, who is charged by the majority of the committee with contempt tn re- fusing to produce the list of subscribers to the “New York Hotel fond.” Mr. Hickman desired to submit a report from the Committee on the Judiciary on the special Message of the President in relation to the inves. tigation of certain charges against him, with a port read, ordered to be view to having the re; printed, and assigned to a future day for consid. eration Mr. Winslow declined to yield for that pur- pose. The reports having been read— Nr. Covode, of Pa., said he would move to postpone the subject for one week, as be under- st the report of the Committee on the Judiciary on the President's message would cover the whole ground presented by the minority report in this case order, appeals from the decision of the Chair, aud various dilatory motons, Mr. Covode withdrew his motion; when— On motion of Mr. Stevens, of Pa., the Treport in the case of Schell was recommitted. Mr. Hickman, from the Committee on the Ju- diciary. then made a report on the President’s re cent protest against the action of the House in connection with the Covede investigating com- mittee. They at some length refute the positions taken by the President, who. they assert, under the Constitution, possesses neither privilege nor immunity beyond the humblest citizen, and is less favored in tiis respect than Senators and Representatives in Congress.“ Unfortunately,” they say, ‘+ for the attempted defence of that ofli- ver, there is no chargr made of any grade of offen: calling for trial of any kind. It isa mere inquiry that is proposed.’ Mr. Covode's « resolutions do not contemplate a judgment, and therefore there can be no formal trial inderthem. So numerous are the proofs that the ‘wise and great men’ of our earlier history entertained forebedinys of the very opposite character to those which the Pres:- dent uscribes to them, that it is difficult to resist a disposition to attribute insincerity to the Pres dent to accomplish the purposes of his protest.”? The committee, in conclusion, present the fol- lowing resolution: Kesolved, That the House dissents from the doc- trines of the spectal message of the President of the United States, of March 23, 1860; that the ex- tent of power contemplated in the adoption of the resolutions of inquiry, of March 5, i860, is neces- sary to the | a discharge of the constitutional duties devolved upon Congress; that judicial de- terminations, the opinions of former Presidents, and uniform usage sanction {ts exercise; and that to abandon it would leave the Executive Depart- ment of the Government without supervision or responsiility, and would be likely to lead toa concentr. ‘9m of power in the hands of the Presi- dent, dangcrous to the rights of a free people. Mr. Hickman, himself, read the report from the Clerk's desk. Mr. Houston said Mr. Taylor and himself were the minority of the committee. For want of time they had not been able to get together to agree upon a joint report. Each of them, however, had prepared a separate report; both sereelne on gen- eral principles, and sustaining the special message of the President of the United States. Mr. Houston's report sets out by speaking of the intentions of the framers of the Constitution— which were to confine the several departments of the Government to their appropriate spheres, so that one might not encroach upon another, and thus endanger the equilibrium which it was necessary to preserve. The House of Representa- tives should confine its action to the limitations and requirements of the Constitution. It is alike due to justice and the character of our Govern- ment, at home and abroad, that it should not be used for oppression or mere party advantage, by investigating vague and scandalous imputations founded on street ramors and newspaper articles ‘There {s a possibility that these things may have already done much fo lessen the confidence of the antey in the legislative as well as the other de- ents of the Government. Congress should maintain its own dignity, but not indulge in assaults on individuals in public and private life. ‘The powers and duties of the coordinate branches of the Government are pliinly set forth in the Constitution. ‘The departinents are independent, except when, by the Constitution, they are other- wise. The President, for the offences therein Specified, may be impeached. The House has the sole power of impeachment, and the Senate has the power to try it ‘There is no other mode by which the House can intlict punishment except by impeachment. The House can impeach the President for abuses under the Constitution, but the House has no power to punish him for die- orderly conduct, as in the case of a member of the House. The House hes repeatedly decided that censure or Sus recobation is a punishment To arraign the President on vagne and indetiuite charges isa revolting outrage, not to be counte- nanced even by vindictive pertisans. Lf the res- olutions under which the special committee appointed do not look to impeachment, what their object? If, as the resolutions charge, money was improperly expended in a State, the evil was to be redressed by State laws. The investigation, besides, involves the Government in great ex ‘nse, when no action is contemplated by the jouse If the committee sha!l undertake to bring before the House and expose the legitimate actions of private citizens, thea it transcen authority. The louse has no such sole authority and cannot delegate it to a committee. If this is the proper construction, then {it remains to be asked will the House permit the resolutions to re- main unrescinded?| But was not the Present in- vestigation intended for discreditable perty schemes, to accomplish and secure party advan- tages’ The ground iaken by the President s right and the protest made by him is against the assault oa the Constitution of the United States, and on those great principles which were hitherto es- tablisued for the administratiomef justice. Mr. Taylor commenced reading an argument in support of the protest, but zave way for a mo- tion that the House adjourn. Mr. Hickman moved that all the reports be printed, and the further consideration of the subject be postponed till to-morrow week, after the morning bour. No question was taken on this motion Mr. Taylor, according to the understanding. will read his report to-morrow morning. ‘The House then adjourned. . a Preceedings of Te-Dry.

Accounts of H. Reever, Wm. ayneey & Co., Richard Jones, and William Wai ker, sealer of weights and measures, were referred to commit- tee on claims. Bill of H. B. Walker, market-master, for inc!- dental expenses, was referred to committee on market-house. Mr. Dodge, from the committee on ways and means, to which was referred the communication of Jos. L. Smith, asking an a) propriation for es- tablishing an Industrial Institute, made an ad- verse report thereon and asked to be discharged from its further consideration; report acce; and committee so discharged. Mr. Fearson, from the committee of grieva: asked to be discharged from further consideration of the petition of Jos. Parrish; agreed toand com- mittee discharged As there were several incidental matters came up in the course of the evening bearing on the market-house question, we shall group all the facts together, so that the whole matter may be more easily understood. Mr. Hill | eg a memorial signed by resi- dents, merchants, and owners of property on and near market space, and butchers and others doing business in the market-house, protesting against the proposed removal of the tish market to a loca- tion north of the canal, and moved ils reference to the committee on the market-house. Mr. Stake opposed the reference, and wanted the memorial to go to the committee on grievances, but tinally withdrew his objection, and Mr. Hill's motion prevailed. ‘The resolution from the committee on the mar- ket-house, introduced at the last meeting, coming up for consideration— Mr. Stake said its provisions were good and wholesome, right and proper. As a member of the committee he took some interest in this mat- ter. and begged leave to differ with Henry Addi- son for the course he had thought fit to pursue acting as Mayor of Georgetown. Knowing that the matter was pending in this board, he, in the face of it, and with determined will and a desire to overslaugh, orders a premature sale of the benches in the market-house which this resvlution related te, and at that first sale nothing was said about the time of payment. The stalls were sold, and thinking this Corporation migbf at thrir next regular meeting take some action, an order was mede to collect the mouey in advance. This failing, another sale was ordered before purchasers at the first could say **God help them.’ Conse- quently. the stands had fallen into the hands of two or three persons, and others were deprived of their rights. This was very hard, very unjust. He ditfered with memorieliso. A change was very annoying to them no doubt, but the north side of the canal, where proper drainage could be made, wes the right place for these tish stands. Mr. Tenney said it was no use for him to = he was not a party man, nobody would believe him but if he belonged to any party it was a law- abiding party. The Mayor was directed by law to sell these benches on the 3st of March. That duty was imperative, unless the Corporation or- dered otherwise. The present board had met here five successive nights, the committee had the matter under consideration two weeks before they reported this resolution, and if there was an: blame it was theirs for the delay. He was glad that be objected to the third reading of that reso- lution, for he had thereby saved four or five bun- dred dollars to the treasury, and bed given these memorialists a chance to enter their protest. I (said he) did not then know the views of these people; but they have had an opportunity to peti- tion, and a jority of them were of the same po- litical party as the gentleman who introduced this resolution. —Do you call thisa part y question? —It ought not to be; bat there is a party bere siming to get it through, and this me- mori: proves the wisdom of my course in object- ing. ‘These stands were sold in accordance with the law, bought and paid for, in spite of a combi- encouraged Ly two members of this Cor- n, who adv's d purchasers not to pay for their stands, that they would have the law re- pealed.

Mr Fearson denied it, and said the statement was false, he bad only remarked that if parties were afraid of paying an exorbitant rent they had better not bid. take took no trouble in such matters, un- 1 ss chi rzes were true; but as the gentleman spoke from an informer, he would say that the statement Was untrue, as far as he was concerned. Mr Dunlop —1 hardly know how to vote in this matter. 1 was in favor of tue resolution, tuinking the change of location of the fish mer- ket a proper one, but find here a memorlal against it, signed by large number of interested parties Mr, Williams —The r so!ution only places those stands which were soid on the same looting with other stands in the market ‘euney.—if this resolution is passed, what then is to be done? The Clerk has no authority to pay the money back, and you have got to force parties to give up their licenses Will parties give them up, or can the Clerk issue two licenses? [tis too late. You bad ample time, being bere tive nights, to bring in this matter, but it was de- ferred until the night before the sile. When my party, (a8 you will have it lama party man,) wants to do anything they do it right. They leg- islate in time, and if they wanted to appropriate $500 to defend a Mayer they would bring it up. and if the tuird reading was objected to. a meet- ing would be called next night, the appropriation ssed, and the money drawn next morning from be treasury before an inquisition could got out, or other action taken. I don’t see, Mr. Obair- man, how you can remedy this snatter. Mr. Fearson —The way of doing business by my friend’s party ts very much like mzil-robbing. If the danger of robbing the mail is too great, they rob the post office before it starts. The Lord have mercy onsucha party. and I hope the devil — [The remainder of the gentieman’s remarks could not be heard on account of the laughter which grected this sally ] Mr. Williams exonerated the committee from the charge of delay in reporting. The Mayor knew that a majority of the Boards was in favor of suspending the sale until the 19th April. He knew the matter was pending here, and was it anything but courteous to pav some attention to that fact? He hud not treated the Board with common respect. After some further remarks by Mr. Williams, Mr. Tenney again rose, and stated that he had tried to have the rent of butchers’ stalls raised by the last Corporation, but failed; that this resolution was not fair; and 28 the stands were ——— of for a year, let them appraise all the st from after the Ist of April, 1861. Mr. Fearson presented the Shackleford, in which he stat stands had been purchi ae Messrs.. Mankin. Robinson, and Turby, as a firm, and that the monopely had suut bim out from the ma: ket, and moved its reference to the committee on the mar- ket house; so referred. Mr. Williams rose to reply to Mr. Tenney. He thought Mr. T. was a party man, and not compe- tent to give an unbiased decision when y was concerned. He wanted a vote on the passaze of bis resolution. ited the matter referred back to the ition of J. L that all the fish Mr. Hill wa committee, with instructions to report a general system to meet the views of the ple. The hucksters complained greatly of high rate | paid by them. and the low rate paid by the | butchers. This thing has gone too far. Some system is wanted arties now have got their licenses, and you cannot take them “apse eb Mr. Williams —I do not see what isto be gained by another reference. So far as party ts concerned, 1 put Mr. Tenney and Mr. Hill together. 't. Hill objected to this, and stated that he was a member of the committee, but bad never been consulted. All was done by two members. He did +o. want one man in market to have an ad- | vantage over another. Mr. Williams said he bad shown the memorial to Mr. Hill, who bad read it all, and said it was just and right and proper, and would— Mr. Hill, (excitedly )—I deny the whole state. ment.

Mr. Stake moved to strike out eight and insert seven; gave bis reasons therefor, and th ‘bt the assessors had been mie B or the last committee of ways and means remiss in delaying the assess- ment Mr. Tenney defended the committee, and stated that the assessors in 1855 did not make their re- turns until June of that year, and that 7 per cent. discount would be no inducement for parties to Vv up now, as there is a discount of 6 per cent phe Ist July, and legal interest from May ist to July ist would amount to one per cent., so parties had nothing to gain by paying now if theamenc’- ment passed. Mr. Stake withdrew the amendment and the supplement was passed . Mr. Stake offered a resolution requesting the water board to furnish this board with all con- tracts with Thos.

[The action on the reso- lution and substitute was embraced in my letter of Saturday } The Board adjourned to meet on Friday next, at 7 o'clock.
