c CONGRESSIONAL. Suxatz.—Yesterday when vga. Ply closed the Senate had gone into executive jon ‘After about an hour spent therein the doors were rm ned; when, “On wstion by Mr. Dixon, the Senate took up the resolution to provide the Semate with ety copies of the Debates of Congress; and after dis- cassing it at length, on motion, it was postponed till the first Monday in December next. Mr. Hale moved that the recommendation made by the Sergeant-at-Arms of the Senate, in bis re- to the Committee on Contingent Expenses of he Senate, to dispense so the services of three messengers, be concurred In Mr. Harlan said he had been informed bya pure In one of the rooms of the Capitol that he ‘was acting asa substitute fora person who was traveling in Europe. Mr. Deogies said charges like these were of a serious character, and were calculated to cast im- utations on the Senate. Such charges should not made without specifications, and the names of the offending parties. He was sure no Senator would consciously permit such abuses to continue an hour after they were known to him Mr. Foster offered a resolution to adjourn ata quarter to 4 o'clock, sine die. Mr. Douglas said it was proper to hear first from the committee (Messrs. Powell and Baker) to wait on the President of the United States Mr. Brigbt said he had not, during all his long connection with that body, beard of an instance of an employee drawing his pay when not person- ally present. He would call on the Senator from Tennessee (Mr. Johnson) to state his experience in that respect. Mr. Jobason said that the resolution of Inquiry into the aileged abuses was offered on the 1Sth of June last; Congress adjourned on the 25th, so little time had been lost. Every inquiry in that reso- lution bad been replied to in the report. With respect to the abuses alluded to by the Senator from New Hampshire, the committee was not cognizant of them. Mr. Harlan said that since be was up before he had ascertained the name of the officer who had been receiving a salary whilst traveling abroad and studying medicine in the State of Maryland. His name is Jamieson, and he receives $1,200 a year, employing a substitute at $40 a month, and puttin; the beteuce in his own pocket. Mr. Polk hoped a thorough investigation would atter. oes init thaennt thie resolution should be so modified as to give the Sergeat-at-Arms power to dismiss an offending person. Mr. Rice said at tbe next session they would be able to commence reform much higher up tban on messengers and pages. They would commence bigh up, and come down with a clean sweep. After some further discussion, on motion by Mt. Wilson the Senate again went into executive ses- sion; when, upon reopening the doors, the com- mittee appointed to wait on the President havivg returned, informed the Senate that the President had no further communication to make to them On motion by Mr. Hale the Senate then, at five minutes ef four o’clock, adjourned sine die.

The Intelligencer says of the attempt by the Bouthern States to lead the Territories of Arizona and New Mexico into seceding from the Union, “the whole theory of Territorial secession Is so much In conflict with the logic of the State- rights school on this point, that we hope its dis- ciples would look with no compiacency ou tne assumption of such a prerogative by the inbabl- tants of mere ‘‘inclioate States The Republican argues the impolicy of evacua- ting Fort Pickens Fort Picaens.—The New York Tribune asserts, incorrectly, that Fort Pickens has been ordered to be reinforced. We have satisfied ourself that no such orders have emanated from the Government here. Provisions have probably been sent there ; and the mistake, ten to one, grew out of that fact. Proceedings of the T Our Crrv anp Covxtry—For many months past, and at this time, hundreds and hundreds of¢ honest working men here, as elsewhere, are unzble to procure a day’s work ; many are now fn almost a stste of starvation. Ia fact, they would be at that point, were it not for friends, and dealers in groceries and other necessaries of life who have thus far given them credit. ‘The owners of the houses many of these people occupy can get no rents from them. This state of things cannot last Many have femilies dependent upon their daily labor for subsistence, and, in times when employ- ment was easily obtained, found great difficulty in making beth ends meet. All these men ask is employment ; end that, it seems, they cannot get now. Many of them tell us (for they often appea, to us) that they are In the habit of leavixg their distressed homes morning after morning, after a very scanty meal, with a fixed determination that, 1f possible, before they return to their fami- lies, they will get some employment; but, alas, Ditter disappointment meets them. They have no means to leave this city, and if they bad, no one can tell them where they may obtain work; because businessand employments ofall kindsare, through the disunion imbroglio, almost prostrate in nearly if not all of the cities and towns of our country. If these troubles continue for any considerable length of time, no one can forsee what the conse- quences way be. Public as well as private im- provements are everywhere curtailed, and in most cases altogether suspended. Very few, if any, who havea dollar, wil! risk investing it ‘where now, while so much un- certainty exists. On the Ist of July Washington's year’s taxes are due. Who can say with the pre- sent signs of the times that any considerable amount of those taxes will be then paid; aad if they should not be, the condition of our city will be quite embarrassing; with a debt of nearly a MULLUE, WU LENELERE UL WICK MUR Le proyided Tor; WILD & SCDOO: BYSEIM toar cuss auuMe iviiy thousand dollers a year, and a police system that costs at least forty thousand more; a poor and workhouse to maintain, which require many thousands more; besides many other heavy items of expenditare, which it is not necessary to par- ticularize Our object is to draw the attention of the consti- tuted authorities, national and municipal, to this subject, and also that of the humane of our com- munity to the unprecedented condition ef many honest and industrious working men in our midst. eee Mr. McExratu, editor of the New York Cen- tury, the new Appralser-at-Large for the port of New York, is a capital selection indeed. He isa gentleman of bigh character and fine sense, and great personal popularity withal. His journal— eminently a conservative one—ranks, perhaps highest among all the New York weeklies. The Press will doubtless acknowledge this compli- ment to worth, in their profession.

A HvrrasaLoo asovr Noruine.—Rumors are afloat here saying that a terrible riot is anticipated in Richmond, Va., on account of a recent order from the War Department for the removal of certain U.S. arms from that city. The story was gotten up, evidently, to increase the disunion fever there. There is no truth what- ever init. A contractor to furnish cannon to the Government, whose pay is due when he may deliver them in that city, not long since applied for bis money, without complying with the de- livery clause in his engegement.

Wasninaton, March 25.—Mr. Archbold, late Fngineer-in-Chief of the Navy, yesterday re- ceived a despatch from ex-Senator Mallory, offer- ing him a simil-r position under the Confederate States, which he declined. Postmaster General Blair, in the case of the Philadelphia Post Office, has decided that a Postmaster must be appointed from the place where the oiffice is located, and not from any other section. This relieves the Department, in many instances, of a pressure for Post Offices from persons who do not reside near the oflice which they seek, including that of W. Pinkney Ewing, of Cecil county, who wasan applicant for the Baltimore Post Office. The tidings from the ‘Confederated States of America” forbode trouble in the military chest, from an unwillingness or inability of the Lares to take up the fifteen militen loan. The unstable ground on which the Confederacy has been built, acknowledging the right of States to secede at pleasure and destroy the Government, bas tight- ened the purse-strings of capitalists, and the people who have the will to subscribe find their affairs so involved in the prostration of all manner of business that they cannot attempt permanent investments.

Mitchell, arrived at Honolulu, for Panama, via Milo and Lahama, in ch of the sloop-of-war Levant, supposed to be ost. The Honolulu Advertiser of the lith has the following on the subject: is every reason to believe that United States sloop-of-war Levant has met with some serious disaster soon after leaving Hilo. It was Captain Hunt’s intention to have taken a northerly course from the Islands, till he judged he could fetch the port of Acapuleo, Where he proposed going first to forward his dis- atches to Washington. If this plan was fol- jowed, the Levant probably ran north to about latitude 34 degrees, then tacked and headed for the Mexican coast. The bark Consort was dis- mantled in a gale about October 15, according to one account, and October 20,according to another. In looking back over our shipping memoranda, we find that the whaling barks Emerald, Robert Morrision, Florence, and Braganza, and ships Republic, Coral and Majestic Arch, report severe ales in from 30 to 45 north latitude, fom Octo- t 3d to October 1uth (wind southwest), in which they all received more or less damage. Had the Levant simply been dismantled, she could have reached these Islands under jury masts, or the boats could have got here. The conclusion forces itself on us that if she met with disaster, it has proved fatal to the ship and all on board.” -**+ We perceive from brief peraere bh ina Wednesday’s Globe that Mr. Wrigh ives, of this city, though duly gazetted to a first lieuten- ancy in the army of the Oligarchy, is now at Went Point, and designs graduating and remain- ing in the army of the United States.
