OUR DELEGATE IN ConGREss.—Onr citizens feel interested in everything which concerns the District of Columbia, andas much depends upon the committee in the House as well as the Sen- ate, we give below the proceedings in the House ‘so far as relates to the right of our Delegate to a place on the committee. Both Houses have de- clared, through an organic act, that the Dele- gate shall be placed on the Honse Committce for the District, and we doubt not the rule will be amended so ‘as to relieve the Speaker of his embarrassment. There is no question but that Mr. Chipman will be of great service to the com- mittee, and can do much toward preparing their work. However anomalous it may seem, the wanifest propriety and utility of the thing ‘will, we think, settle the question favorably to the District. The Speaker. tothe House a question which barrasses him. The law reorgani of the District Colum) vided that the Delegate trom the District of Columbia should be a member of the Commit- tee for the District of Columbia. T is governed by the rules of the Hous: are made under an express provision of the Constitution of the United States giving to each Honse the right to make its own rales; and the rules of the House provide that the Committee for the District of Columbia stu: consist of nine members of the House, Lovk- ing at the duties laid on the Chair by the rule he has referred to under the Constitution, he did not feel at liberty to constitute the Com- mittee for the District of Columbia of ten members; and it becomes necessary, as between the law, which seemed to cogs the rule of the House, and between the ru'e of the House as it stands, for the House to determine what course shali be taken. If the Del from the Dis- trict of Columbia is to be present with the com- mittee merely in an advisory capacity, the coin- mittee, under the law of courtesy, would no doubt like to have him there. But if he is to be a voting member his function would bo a much larger one, and larger than ever was ac- corded before to a De! on this floor. Under the circumstances the Chair has not announced the Delegate from the District of Cotumbia as a member ot the committee, and he will wait the instructions of the House as to what should be done in the premises, Mr. Dawes.—I move that the rules of the House be so suspended as to allow the appoint- ment by the Speaker of the Delegate from the District of Columbia as a member of the Com- mittee for the District. ‘The Chair desires to sulmit Mr.W It appears to me that this isa very similar question to that presented by the Dele- gate from Colorado, [Mr. Chaffee,} and that it is & proper question to go to the Committee on the Rules. I propose that it shall take that course. ‘The Speaker.—The gentleman trom New York {Mr.Wood) proposes that the question be re- ferred to the Committee on the Rules. If there be no objection, it will be so reverred. ‘There was no objection. at What with Sir Charles Dilke and his anti- monarchical followers in England, the Fenians in Ireland, communists in France, revolutionists in Belgium, republicans in Spain, liberals in Prussia, and Internationals everywhere, they ure having lively times in Europe, and the end is not yet. The triumph of the people in Belgium has emboldened the friends of popular govern- ment there and elsewhere. The German Par- Hament, with all their submissiveness, have shown @ disposition to resist the inordinate scheme of taxation proposed by the Emperor and Bismarck, and at a late sitting one of the deputies raised the old revolutionary cry of “War to the palace and peace to the cottage,” following it up with the ominous words, “and death to all luxurious idleness!” Bismarck did not deem it prudent to notice them or reply, but continued writing at his desk. In England there is no lull in the agitation. Sir Charles Ditke addressed, on November 20, a large and crowded mecting at Bristol on repre- sentation and education.

MARTIAL LAW IN ROUTH CATOLINA. Mr. Blair moved to take up the resviation offered by him vesterday, calling on the Pvesi- dent tor his authority to deelare martial law in certain counties of South Carolina. Mr. Blair said the resolution contemplates that the Prosi- dentshall lay before tne Senate the mauner in which he has executed the extraordinary powers conferred upon him by Congress. He had heard that of the many citizens of South Carolina arrested, nine-tenths of them had been arrested charged with crimes commit: of April 2, Isl. ‘The facts tion with these offences he recoguized as haying been brought to the attention of the ku kinx committee anterior to the passage of the ku kinx aet. Mr. Edmunds suggested that to discuss the merits of the re: tion to take up, and the Vi: decided. Mr. Morton said much of the information called for was given in the message of the Presi- dent, and also he considered that it was best to delay action until the report of the committee in the late insurrectionary States had been sub- mitted. Mr. Blair said the information called for was not given in the President’s message. The Presirtent says he had information to justity hind in his action, but does not state from whom he received it. “He certainly did not get it from the committee, for the committee had aathorizdd no one to give him any information, and as a mom. ber of the committee, he (Mr. B.) was of the opinion that no facts lad been brought before the committee, which would justify his action. Mr. Conkling was opposed to taking up the resolution for the reasons stated by Mr. Morton, and further becanse the resolution was nos in the nature of good faith. It was fall of asser- tion and intimations. ‘The motion to take up was then put and lost— ayes, 11; nays, 45. Mr. Kellogg introduced bill to reorgan’ district conrts of the United States in’ ih ot Louisiana, CATACAZY. Mr. Cameron opposed a resolation whi adopted, calling on the President for the c pondenee in the Catacazy affair. ‘The Senate at ten minutes of one adjourned. HOUSE OF ¥ NTATIVES.—Atter the reading of the journal— Mr. Wells (Mo.) introduced a Dill to make ap- propriation tor a site in St. Louis for a custom eure and post office building. Re’srred to Com- mittee on Public Buildi A Grounds. Mr. Dawes (Mass.) demanded the regular or- der, aud this cut off further miscellaneous busi- ness. The Speaker proceeded to call the committees, and Mr. Farnsworth (ill.), from the Committee on Post Offices and Post Roads, reported a bill (House bill No. 1) to revise and consolidate THE STATUTES OF THE POST OFFICE DEPART- MENT. HH: said this was the same bill tuat was under e sideration at the last session of Congress. It had now been examined by t#o commitices of the House, and was approved by both. He arked that the full reading of the bill be dis- pensed with. Mr. Wood (N. ¥.) objected, and the bill was ad. Pending the hour expired. Mr. HiL(N. J.) introdneed a dill authorizing the Postmaster Genera! to issue one cent cor- respondent” and ‘post’ cards. Reterred to Co vmittee on Post Offices. On motion of Mr. Dawes (Mass.) the House went inte Committee of the Whole on the TRESIDENT'S MESSAGE, with Mr. Wheeler (N. Y-) in the chair. Mr. Dawes offered a resolution to reter the several parts of the President's message to the Approp. tate committees. Mr. Wood (N. ¥.) objected to the proposed reference of matters to the select com- mittee on the insurrectionary states. There was no such astanding committee of this House. Ne denied that there were any such things in this country as insurrectionary states. A com- mittee was appointed at last session to investi- gate certain matters in the South, and its fune- fons ceased when that duty had been per- med. It was improper to refer anything to th» committee, as it would continue it, and that Was not intended. Mr. Dawes said he could not enter upon a dis- cussion of a question of tact with Mr. Wood, and that gentleman must know that there is such @ committee of the House as that on in- surrectionary States. Mr. Wood denied that the committee was in- tended to be continued in existence beyond the present session of Congresss. Last Congress we ‘ad a committee called the Committee on Re- comstruction, and the gentleman's colleague from Mas-achusetts, (Mr. Butler.) made numer- us ettorts to have itcontinued. The Committee 0. Insurrectionary States will cease after it shall have reported to the House. A reference of business to it was a recognition of the committee, avd the effect of the reference would be to con- tinue it. He was opposed to making committees in this manner. Mr. Dawes said that if a simple reference would continue a committee, then this comm tee would aiready be continued, because mat- ters had been referred to it yesterday. The committee has not noo yet, and until it does report. certainly all matters pertinent may be referred to it. The committee was made to inquire into disorders in the South, and no one could say whether its continuance would be necessary until after the report had been sub- mitted. Mr. Wood said that instead of the committee was one which was calculated to promote disorder. He (Mr.W) would go as far ®\ any gentleman in the Honse, or as far as the odministration, to promete peace and order in the South; but this was not the way to da it, and he protested against cont'nuing committees as re the ofito it was not proper é re reading of the bill the morning ding to order, agencies to promote disorder in the South, Mr. Dawes hailed w y te anno aneement of Mr. Wood that the iatter would unite with the republicans and the administration for peace and order at the Sout] Vit that was done he thought peace and order would he soon at hand. Mr. Maynard (Tenn) said the committee re- ferred to was started tor a special purpose, and he thought the report would demonstrate not only the necessity of its original organization, but the necessity of continuing it. He did not want itto be thought that this proposition of ref- erence was a mee side-winder te continue the committee. After further discussion, the subject was re- ferred to the Committee on Appropriations bya vote of 100 to 86. = ee men Seve A Fiexvisu Crime ann Swier Puntau- wenT.—On Sunday last, on Mulberry cre k Fraklin county, Arkansas, tw@ young men, named Joseph Forbish and Wm.

He took occasion to make an appeal in favor of monarchy, in the course of which he warmly di fended the Queen from the ungra- cious charges made against her Majesty by Sir Charles Dilke, and censured, in terms of char- acteristic bitterness, that geutleman’s conduct and public utterances. —* The Trial of Mrs. Wharton. ANNAPOLIS, MD., Dec. 5.—The court for the trial of Mrs. E. G. Wharton met at 10 o'clock, »ciate Jndges Hammond, of Howard county, Ml Hayden, of Carroll county, taking their seats on the bench with Chief Judge Miller. Attorney General Syester was also presont to assist in the prosecution. ‘The court-room, as yesterday, was crowded to its full capacity, including several scores of ladies, a dezen or more negroes filling up the back ground. Chief Justice Bastol, of the State court of appeals, occupied aseat adjoining the bar. Officers from the naval school and protes- sors of St. John’s College were among the an- dience, apparently taking deep interest in the proceedings. The prisoner, with her faithful daughter by her side, both heavily veiled, attended by Mrs. Nelson and daughter, sat immediately in the rear of her counsel. After the formal opening of the ceurt the clerk proceeded to calt the names of the tales- men summoned yesterday, from which four jurymen were to ‘be selected to complete the jury, and before exhuusting the list John H. Seliman, a farmer; K. W. Sheekles. a farmer; aes W. Watkins, a merchant; and Robert H. Welch, 2 farmer, were declared competent jurors, accepted and sworn in. ——— ‘The New York Press on the Message.
