Mr. Givpixcs, with a view of attaining tiv object, moved to diminish the sum in Mr. Venable's amendment five dollars. His object in doing this was io aay that he wished te wash his hands of consuming the time of the Houre in diseussing the erection of monuments. ‘Lhat the character of Jackson or Washington is to be af fected in this manner, he did not believe—it could not be done. The history of these great men is made up. It is belittling, then, to erect monuments of brass, marble brick, or mud, to their memory. ‘The practice is cor rujting to the tastes and morals ‘of the nation. He had offered his amendment proposing a monument to Gaila tin, to put him in contrast with military chieftains, and to show his admiration of « man who, with many others. had donea thousand times more to elevate man. kind than those who have gone merely into the field of military glory. Mr. Hocsi0s, (dem) of Ala. brielly opposed the amend ment, and appealed to gentlemen on ull sides to allow this bill to by perteeted and passed. Mr. Giddings’ amendment was disagreed to. Mr. Swanrven, (dem.) of Ohio, proposed to inerease the sum in Mr, Venavie's amendment five dollars. He did this to reply to his colleague as to the erection of monu ments to the departeddead. He desired to see thei set up inall the pubic squares, that the youth of the country might, in gazing on them, be reminded of (he virtues of those in whose honor they may be erected. Something is due to ourrelyes and the generation to come after us; and now, with an overflowing treasury, and amid universal prosperity, he submitted whether we could better expend money than by raising statues in memory of our distin- ued public benefactors. Mr. Guppises was opposed to the increase and the eree tion of monuments. He supposed some future Congress would erect one to his colleague. (Layghter.) Mr. Swxewnr—I hope my friond trou the Western Re- serve will be the first thus honored. Mr. Gippines said, rather than gentlemen belittling themselves, iu erecting monuments, let them devote themselves to the promulgation of the arts of peace. If the treasury is overfiowing, let us extend education to the humble and poor youth of the country, and the eleva tion of the laboring classes. Mr. Swikisek—My colleague comes from a State which makes ample provision for education. she asks nothing from the national treasury. Mr. Gippixgs resumed, saying he would then go with his colleague for the collection of nomore revenue than an economical administration of the government demands, He (Mr. Giddings) was too much of a democrat, (laughter,) to squander money, and if his colleague's object was to join the aristocracy to squander the public money, let ‘him no longer call himself? a demo erat. (Laughter.) The money comes from the la boring poor, and those who are destitute of the necessari of life. They toil, that we may erect extrs statues to those who have gone before us. (A yoice— “Just so.) He would not wrench from the hand of poverty one-thousandth part of a cent to squander in this way. He had been a laboring man himself, and therefore knew what it isto labor. He would never be in- strumental in crushing laboring men to raise monuments to adorn our squares. Mr. Giddings’ amendment was disagreed to. and Mr. Veuable’s, appropriating three thousand dollars for Ginishing the pedestal of the Jackson statue, was adopted. Mr. Taytor, (whig) of Ohio, offered an amendment ap- propriating twenty-five thousand dollars to carry out the resolve of Congress iv1786, to erect a munument to Gen, Nathaniel Greene. Ruled out of order. Mr. D¥AN offered an amendment appropriating fifty thourand dollars for remoying the mint from Philadel- phia to New York. ; Mr. Lercugn, (dem.) of Va.. raised a question of order, and the Chairman ruled out the amendment. Mr. Stavzy, (whig) of N. C., offered an amendment, that hereafter uo books shall be distributed among mem: bers of Congress, except such as are ordered to be. print- edas public documents, by the Congress of which they are members. He said the value of books which each member receives under present usage, is $900. It is a reat and growing abuse. If thow books were retained y members toaid them in dischargfag their public duties, there would be less objection. Few, however, trouble them- selves to save them. "It is known to bea fect that books have been sold by members of Congress, and these very books agaiu parchased for distribution by the Honse. This isa great obuce. It is doing harm ‘to republican gevernwent, and will lessen the standing of members emong the Feople, when the fact shall becorue more gon>- rally known. Itis time the abuse was corrected.

Summary of Events In Albany. € THE BROADWAY RAILROAD EXCITEMENT IN THE S¥- BATE--THE CANAL QUESTION IN THE ASSEMBLY— THE TAMMANY HALL DIFFICULTIES, ETC. SPECIAL COW2ESPONDENCE OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. Atnayy, Jan. 27, 1 The only excitement about the Capitol today was the Broadway Railway. Alexander T. Stewart. and three or four others, sent up a remonstrance against the road. Ino. L. O'Sullivan, whois continually in the Senate cham- ber, had a petition presented, asking for a committee of investigation. Early in the day the bill was taken up for a third and last reading. when Mr. Williams moved to re. commit it to the Judiciary Committee. to report on its constitutionality. This opened the debate again, and several Senators repeated their speeches of yesterday. ‘The motion was finally withdrawn, and another substi tuted, committing it to the four Senators from the city for consultation, who were to ascertain whether a bill could not be reported giving more satisfaction to all par tics. Pending this motion, at three o'clock the Senate adjouined. ‘to-morrow the question will be taken, and the bill will reccive twenty-one votes. Messrs. Beckman, Newcom), and McMurray, will yote for it, and Mr. Morgan against it. It is certain that there will be a hard struggle in the Howe. A boast is made that the members delegation oppose it. An hour was spent in the House in debating the m tion to reconsider Mr. Cooley's joint resolutions. ‘To-x row will be spent upon that question. The vote by w they were rejected, a few days since, was so close. Voth parties are mow certain of success. The me: ed are now identified on one side or the oth eismuch extra work with (hose who were then absent. The Hon. Mr. Gilmore has not yet brought in his bill to repeal Old Tammany, neither has Mr. Alden moved for his threatened committee of investigation.

Aunaxy, Jan, 27, 1853, PETITIONS THE BROADWAY RAILROAD, ETC. Mr. Besiwax, (whig) of New York, presented a peti- tion from a public meeting in New York, against the Broadway Railroad. Also, the petition of John L. O'Sullivan, Vice President of the Broadway Railroad, for an investigation into the alleged charges of fraud in connection with the applica tion to the New York Common Council. Also, for a law prohibiting the Erie Railroad fron: di verting trade to New Jersey. THE ASSOCIATE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. Mr. Wnicnr (whig) gave notice of a bill to ine the fund of the Associate Presbyterian church of America, THY, BROADWAY RAILROAD BIL. ‘The act to prevent injustice in the construction of rail ways inthe city of New York, was then read a third time. Mr. Wittrams, (whig) moved to re-commit the bill There were some points in the bill which to him, seemed to conflict with the constitution. The bill seems to be in- tended to prevent the carrying out of certain contracts or ordinances of the Common Council of New York. Having passed the ordinance, they have substantially contracted with individuals to do the work, and this be. ing so, it seemed to him the Legislature had no right to legislate among these contracts. If the law passes, it will be inoperative, on account of its unconstitutionality. But if tho Corporation had not the power to make this contract, there is power sufficient in the courts to correct it. This question comes on top of an excitement, and unless care and attention is paid to the constitutional question, injury may arise from the legis- lation upon the question in haste. Notwithstanding all that has been said about the people of the city of New York and its Corporation, he belleved there was good sense and purity enough left there to enable them to remedy their own ills. He could not consent to rob them of rial hts which for a long series of years they have en- joyed. : Wr. BREKMAN, wh'g) replied to Mr. Conger, who ho thought waa of the class of casy living gentlemen, who, residing Up the North river, take it comfortably, visiting the city only at quarter day, and unconscious of the taxes, because their tenants pay them. Mr. B. reassert- ed the arguments heretofore used by him in opposition to the road. Mr. Bancock, (whig) in answor to Mr. Williams, said the grant taken by the Road Association in New York was distinetly that they had not made a contract, becange, if they admit it to be made, it would + them at once within the grasp of the courts. Bre Common Council, by its charter restrictions, were debarred from making a contract—that could only be done by an exéeutive department. No interference witk the chartered rights of New York was intehded. It is designed to make bam injunction—to delay until provision can made for » state of things which never entered the thoughts of the Stuyvesants, and others, who gave oli charter righta to New York. Mr. B, believed that it could be shown that (he cost of the Broadway Raroad would be hile thg income at one cent alone, upon the data of the receipta of the Sixth avenue road, would be more than equal te the whoie cost; while at th cents, the suin proposed to be charged, the receipts would be one million thre@ hundred and fourteen thou wand dollars. Tho average walue of the loan proposed to be given—for it amounts to a gift—to this association, is about twenty dollars a foof, and isin all about five millions of dollars. Does any mian believe that such a gtant has been made without corruption or consideration, and of the deepest dye? The affidavits of tweaty or five hundred men could not satisfy him to the contrary, Mr. Wiiz1ams regretted that his learned friend fiom the Thirty-first (Mr. Babcock, } had not dissipated the consti tutional doubts about this question. It was a new idea to talk about jezislative injanctions, to prevent the cor- poration of New York from vislating the laws of the State. ‘The courts of the State have smple jurisdiction over such acts, and there ix no constitutional obstacie in the way. But the real difienlty in all that question is with the people of the city. They have been chosen representa- tives in their councils, aad doubtiesa there hi been great ab: But this was not the place to judge between the parties. Certainly, the Legfsiature should look chiefly to see what is just: and should legislate coolly and deliberately in respect to it Mr. Taner (whig) again stated that he haa, on his own responsability, introduced the bill. Some of the N York papers’ called him an outside barbarian, and h told him that this “d ‘road affair was none of his busi. ness. He believed that the people of Albany and She nectady had sent him here to legislate for the whole people: Mr. Taber, at length, presented the argument relative to the right of way, and its true ownership a government. The Broadway railroad is the only insta ofa railroad not granted by the sovereign author Everywhere else, here or abroad, the power to ba road, to be run by the owners’ thereof only, has been granted only by the State; and if the Common Council of w York were th l the: virtue that . it yet would be proper that the 8 and exercise control over them. n.) had not appeared as a defender of apy wrong, but he had and would seek for the ab- sent, the fair opportunity to be heard in their own de- fence Mr. Moncan (whig) owned this was a question of great importance, deserving careful’ consideration. The pro i priety of granting the Broadway railroad, not under discussion, nor did he stand as the apolo gist of the Common Council ; but he was opposed to the bill because it divested the city of New York of pri ges granted tothem. The charter had been ra ed by the seople. If it worked dangers and injuries—if corruption had grown up under it—the remed charter-—-remedy the evil, and people of the city. The Legislature should not interfere, unless the people of the city asked that interference That conld be ascertained if the question was submitted tothe people. As an infsingement of the city charter, he was opposed to the bill. Mr. Pierce (dem.) said that he and many other Sena. tors desired to see the bill committed to the New York delegation. ‘The course taken by them would materially influence the views of the Senator: In this Mr. CORNELL con Mr. Brisron (dem.) opposed; enough passed alrendy on the bill. ‘the question was then taken on the motion to refer to the New York Senators, and it was lost, by the following vote :— AYus.—Messrs.

Ba ee et The Executtons Te-Day at the Toms of Saul and Howlett, for the Murder of Charles Baxter. CONFESSION OF THE CONDEMNED PRISONERS SAUL AND HOWLETT—INCIDENTS IN PRISON, ETO, Notwithstanding the impediments thrown in our way by Mr. Edmonds, the keeper of the €ity Ptison; our re- porter yesteriay aftermoon obtained access to the two unfortunate men under sentence of doath, and procured their confession, through the kindness of a gentlemam whom, we are happy to say, is entirely unconnected with the Tombs. We venture to express a hope that should we have, onany future occasion, to perform alike dis- agreeable duty, that the means of ingress will be givem to us with at least the same facility as florded tothe representatives of other journals in. this city, so that we shall not again Haye to complain that the public ser- vants have lent themselves to affording what: is paraded as “exclusive’’ information in some of our cotemporaries. Saul and Howlett appear perfectly unmoved at their dreadful situation, and, as will be seen by the confession below, deny most absolutely and entirely the commission of any other murder than the one for which they will suffer to-day. . ‘They admitted to us that they bad been guilty of au: merous robberies, but, as Howlett expressed it, “with the exception of a bloody nose or so, im a.street muss, we have never taken life.’’ Howlett, who cannot write, af- fixed his cross to the confession, but Sauisigned bis name in a bold, firm hand. THE CONFESSION. In addition to the disclosures already. made and. pub- lished as the cgafession of wyself and Saul, I solemaly asseverate that I have made no other, and that I have no other to make. I have never been connected with any crime involving bloodshed besides the offence for which | am to suffer. The reports which, T am pained te hear, are circulated to my prejudice, in this respeet, are unfounded and unwarranted by me and by every circum- stance of my Iife. Wicked as 1 may have been, I have never been so: lost as to delight in murder, but, om the contrary, have always felta repugnance to it.’ I have been fuithfuily attended to by spiritual advisers, andi am grateful for every attention and kindness that have: been shown. Tdo this to reseue my own reputation, and the feelings of my family and friends, from. the { jury which false rumors may hereafter inflict upon them. In addition to this, I wish to xay that it is falsely re- ported of us all that we have refused spiritual assistance and adviee; but, on the contrary, we have always desired it, and always received it. This is due, as well to.ourselvem aa to the clergymen who haye kindly visited us. (Signed) WLEIT'S X WILLIAM SAUL. In the presence of the prisoners’ counsel. Considerable exertion has been manifested by the friends of the condemned, for the purpose of procuring a reprieve. or a commutation of their awful sentence. Yes- terday morning. a rumor existed that Governor Seymour had granted a commutation for Johnson, assigning hin to the State prison during his natural life. About one o'clock in theafternoon. Mr. Cochran, the counsel for the prisoners, arrived from Albany, bringing with him the commutation of Johnson, a3 granted by the Governor. Mr. Cochran proceeded at onee to tho prison, and on the fact being communicated to Johnson, ke was so overjoyed that he sprang into the arms of the deputy keeper, and wept bitterly. From that moment he brightened up, and appeared like another man, expressing himseif in the most rye ‘manner for the Exeeutive clemency thus extended towards him, During the day, several of the Goyemnors of the Alms- house. Judges, Aldermen, and other citizens of note, visited the cells of the condemned, and conversed with the un- fertunate young men. Howlett was attended by his mother, three brothers and a sister-in-law, and Saul by his mother, sister, and brother-intaw. At about six o'clock the last sad parting teok place between the rela- tives and the condemned. The mother of Howlett held in her arms a child about two years old, belonging to her married son, while she paced backwards and torwards im front of the cell, after the door was closed, in a state of extreme mental distraction. The rest of the family were also undergoing a painful triak by the separation from their brother under such terrible cireuinstances. ibe mother and sisters of Saul looked upon him for the last time, and the aged parent bade a last adieu to her ‘The scene was affecting in the extreme. chiess with grief, and tears flowed each member of the ufllicted family. their final leave of him, and he the Reverend Mr. Spear.

Then arousing himself, he io Mr. Spear and asked him, ‘Do you believe in Ciuist Jesus’ The reverend gentleman replied, © Yes, I do. [know he will hear our prayers.” ‘The condemned man then made an inclination, as if he wished some re- i xercivesto be read. Mr. Spear read the beautiful * jod moves in a mysterious way; then the sixty-ninth psalm, and afterwards the fifteenth chapter of the First. Bpistle to the Corinthians, concluding the exercises with the fifty-first Psalm. Replying to an inquiry of Mr. Spear, Johnson said :— “T feel very bad ; Howlett and Saul were like brothers tome, and now I must bid them good bye.’ He then little, asked the clergyman, * Will you come to me again t* Mr. Spear replied, “ I'will.”’ Daring this time, Howlett. was in his cell with the Koman Catholic priest, where « high mais will be said for him this morning. previous to his death. The . Mr. Spear did not leave his penitents until a late hour last night. The mechanieal apparatus designated a gallows, has been erected in the prison yard, ready to do its work of death. Sheriff Orser has deputised ‘several hundred of citizens to witness the execution, which is expected to take place between the hours of ten and two, unless some reprieve or commutation is received from Albany, which is scarcely to be anticipated. Tammany Hall—Meeting of the Soft Shells. Tast evening the soft shell portion of the General Commit tee, endorsed by the sachems, met at the “coal hole” im Tammany Hall,D. E. Delevan, in the chair. Not only did the hard shell members keep aloof, but with one or two excep tions the whole of that party were invisible. The under standing among them was not to recognize inan shape or form the organization which met last night. The dis- puted wards were called, and the soft shells of course had it all their own The certificated members from the First, Sixth, Seventh, Twelfth and Fifleenth wards did not appear, and new elections were ordered. The ticket headed by Alderman Francis admitted from the Tenth ward, and the ticket headed by John Kelly from the 14th ward was received, on the ground that both sides were irre- gular, and, therefore, the soft shells had the best right to the election. In the Tenth ward the Inspectors held the election in one place and the Ward Commitee in another. The soft shells were indorsed by the Ward Committee, and not by the Inspectors. From the Fourteenth ward the soft she'l delegates were indorsed by only oue ctor. The Fifth ward election was contested by John nedy; but there being two inspectors to one against him, the case was postponed. The following were appointed inepectors:— First ward—Messrs. Egan, Woods, and Fletcher; Sixth ward—Mesers. Murphy, Mabbatt, and Farren; Seventh ward—Messrs. Walters, Irving, and Miner; Twelfth ward—Messrs. Donnelly, McCarthy, and Andros; Fifteeuth ward—Messrs.
