Mr. Gwiv, (dem.,) of Cal., was glad to see the Pre- wident taking prompt measures upon this subject. A great many emigrants have been robbed and murdered ‘the past year along the route to California. As 1 under- stand, the President proposes to call out three thousand volunteers, mounted men. These should be sent into the field at once, and chastise the Indians, ‘These Indians call on trains for contributions. We should have such a body under command of such officers as are accustomed to border warfare. I have prepared a measure to get a rapid route overland to California, and Thope the troops will be called out at once and restore safety and security to our people along the route. Mr. Wrure, (dem.) of Cal—As a member of the Military Committee, I shall endeavor to get early action upon ihe recommendation of the President.

Taney, Perrien, Mr. Richard Rush, aud ovhera, who coincide with me ia opinion against the author of this letter. The peremptory manner in which Mr. Choate states his ‘sis extremely offensive, and is not im accordance with a proper respect for those who differ with bim. Mr. Mason—I regret very deeply that such a communi- cation should have been directod to the United States Senate. It should not be allowed to pass in silence, I don’t like to speak avout the absent, but as the writer of this letter has challenged us, I feel at liberty so to do. He waa invested with great honor as Regent, If he thought we were wiong he shoul i have remained st his poar Mr. President—the soundest intellects are charac rised by modesty. ‘The tone of this communication is confidence. I can’t be wrong—says the author of this paver. ‘He has wade the foundation of his resignation, @ fact, that he differed with his associates in the inter: tation of the law, and because thero is uo appeal. I where men bave been misled in their judgment by coru:cations of their intellect, and they never could be mace to think they were wrong. Smiti- son pursued science w.te devotion, and left this institu: tion as a legacy to the worid—prompted by the high beneyolence of his nature to do something for the benefit of hit fellowmen. He made us the almoners of his bounty to diffuse knowledge. There are those who think public funds are putlic piunder ! I ascribe no such views Mr. Choate—he is fur above it. There has boon agreat struggle for this fund ever since Congcess got posses- ion of it. Some thought a library was the exclu- sive mode in whi the views of the donor should de carried out. The wmiter of this communication was one of theso—but who are to read the books, were this the exclusive mode adopted? The members of Con- gress cannot read half whut they have, and the citizens Of Washington, where the library ia located, are com- atively few in musaber. Would this be diffusing nowledge among men? It might help booksellers, book- makers, anc those engaged in the appurtenant trades, but, save toa very limited extent, would neither con: form to the law or carry out the objects o° the doner. Mr. Dovctas, (dem.) of Ill., regretted the necessity of bringing the affairs of the Smithsonian Institution befor the Senate in a manner calculated to impair confidence in it, It had been his misfortune to differ from the majority of the Regents upon the points at issue. He had con- curred with Mr. Choate n hisinterpretation of the or- gare law of the institution, and was firmly convinced at the administration of the iretitution had not been in accordance with tbat law. Heexpreased this convic- tion with all due respect for the eminent men who com- ones the majority, but with the full assurance that hey were governed by none other than pure and honor- able motives. He was unable to perceive the justice of the criticism that had.bren saade upon Mr. Choate’s let- ter. He could not perceive in it a word or sentiment wanting in respect or courtesy to the Board of Regents or to the Senate, It is truo that he had expressed his dissent from the action of the Board in plain and forcible language, without one word of censure or reproach, but, on the contrary, the concludi prraerans express his ent reapoct an ind feelings towards every member of the board. this I concur entirely with Mr. Cuoate. I concur alao the high eulogizm which haa been pronoaneed by the ator from Maryland upon she eminent gentlemen composing the majority of the board, but I cannot per: mit my respect for them to control my judgment as a Regent in opposition to my firm convictions under the Jaw. The whole difficulty arose from a difference of ‘opinion im regard to the true interpretation of the organ- claw. Perhaps my opinions wero binssed by my pre- vious action on this subject in the House of Representa- tives. When the institutios was es‘ablished all the various and completicrg plioa were then pre: ed and discussed, and the result was that the li ypter ry in the motion of Mr. Marsh, of Ver- By the library plan it was not understood thet the whole fund, but a mojority thereof was to be applied thereto, so «8 to wake the library the principal though not the exclusive onject Hence the law pco- vided that not excceding $75,000 out of the $30,000 of income should be applied to the library, and the residus to the other purposes authorized by the act. I hold that any adminstration which made the l’brary the sabordi- naie object, ano applied ti¢ great bulk of the fund to other purposes, not named ia the law, was not autho- rized by it. I shall defer my argument in support of the construction until we get the report of the committee. Tam aware that Mr. Choate, and all the parties concur with bim, had been governed by the purest motives, and by no other desire than that of seeing the trast faithfully executed according to the law and will of Smitbson.

Commodore Perry and the Administration—Smithsonian Inslitution—Mr, Choate’s Resignation—The Pacific Railroad Bill—One New Steamer to be Completed by Fall, President Pierce and his Cabinet advisers seem to have been'particularly unfortunate in their attempts to put down all rivalry for the succession, outside of their own body. The effort to kill off General Wocl by exiling him to the Pacific coast, and their insulting him with taunting letters, uudeserved rebukes, and conflicting military orders, was not more unsucc2ssful than was the attempt to rob Commodore Perry of che laurels won in the Japan expedition, by recalling him, as the adminis- tration supposed, just in time to prevent his accomplish- ing the high object of hiv mission—a treaty with the Japan Empire, securing us commercial advantages denied to all the otoer nations of the earth, It was be- lieved that the prominence which such an achiave- ment would give to the gallant Commodore would render him a troublesome customer, and there- fore the whole scheme—the expedition, with all its glorious results—was to be smashed up, victims to the jealovsy of the Executive.

American Geographical Society. This society held its regular meeting last evening, at the University. Rev. Francis Hawks, D.0., in the chair, Hon. Goorge Bancroft presented to the society a very valuable manuscript vocabulary of the Camanche, Caddo, and Witchita (Indian) languages. It was sent to Mr. Bancroft by a member of Captain Marcy’s expedition through the unexplored regions of Texas, and is the only vocabulary extant of the Caddo language, a tribe that is rapidly becoming extinct. It is undoubtedly the most valuable manuscript, in its way, in existen se. Lieut. Virtx, U.S. N., read an interesting paper on “Texas avd the Topography of the Lower Rio Grande.’ He commenced by tracing the history of the earlier set- tlers of Texas—their struggles with the Indiana—the breabing up of the missions, and the discoveries of La Salle. ‘The French, in 1610, attempted to establish thou selves in Texas, and In order to keep them out the Span- iards established missions on the coast. A further at- tempt was made by tue French, when the Spaniards established the missions of San Jose, San Antonio and Cvidad Rodrigo.

Supreme Court—Cireult. Before Hon. Judge Morris, DECISION ON A CASE ARISING OUT OF THE ENGLISH BANKRUPT Law, Jan. 18.—Daniel T. Youngs, vs. Balthazar de Benort Stackelin.—Mornis, Justice.—From the pleadings, proofs, and admissions of the parties at the trial, I find that the following facts are established:— FACTS, ‘The plaintiff, Daniel T. Youngs, is assignee of Caffor and Cutter, who, having failed in business, did, on the 8d of October, 185%, make an assignment for the beavfit of their creditors, creating the plaintiff in this suit assignee, Caffer and Cutter, prior to their failure, were importing merchants in the city of New York, of millinery goods. Strachelin, the defeadant, is a manufacturer of ‘milling ry at Basle, Switzerland, Europe. Caifer and Cu! ter purchased grols of the defencant, rangement with him, by which defen: fee gee torthe goods Cafler and Cutter should order rom bim, in the following manner:—Stackelin, when re- quested to do so, was to forward goods to Caffer and Cut- ter, at New York, and draw upon Coats & Uo., of Loadon, for the amount of the invoice,at one hundred and tweaty Osys sight. Cafler aod Cutter had made an arrangewnoat with Coats & Co, by which Coats & Co were to accept the drafts of Stackelin, and draw upon Caffer and Cutter, at New York,for the amount,at 90 days sight According to this arran, ement business was for some time conducted, On the 1th of August, 1847, Stackelin drew upon Coats & Co. for £64 43. wterling, at oce hundred aad twenty days’ sight. On the 19th of August, 1847, Coats & Co. acceptea the oraft. 1847, Stackelin drew upon Coats & Co. for £69 8s. sterling, ‘at one hundred aud twenty days’ aight. On the 29th of September, 1847, this draft was accepted by Coats & Co. Couts & Co. drew upon Caffer & Cutter for the amount of each eaid acceptance at nivety days, whichdrafts were accepted by Caller & Cutter. Before either of the ac- re Sone of Coats & Co. became due, Coats & Co. failed in business, and were, accordingly to the lawof Engiaad, declared banirupt. On the lst of December, 1847, Uatler & Cutter, by letter, mformed Stackelin of the failure of Coats & Co. and directed Stackelin to draw upou Smith Custer, Jr., the member of their firm then in Paria, for the amount of the acceptances of Cuats & Co., and also jantation 1 wheo directed Stackelin, upon the collectioa of the draft so to | ‘be drawa upon Smith Cutter, Jr., to remit to Smith Cut- ter, Jr., at Paris, the acceptances of Coats & Uo. Stack elm hed left with his agent ia Loadon acenptances of Conts & Co, to be attended to. Oa the 10th of January, 1848, Stackelin upon Smith Cutter, Jr., at Paris, at ninety days, for 3,437f, 37¢., which was accepted by Smith Cutter, Jr, in yinent of tho unmsett'ed purchase of 'merchsndise. that upon the payment of the last moutioned draft, the defendant, Stackeli should Caffer & Cutter the acceptances of Coats & In March, 1848, the acceptance of Smith Cutter, Jr., be- came due, and way not paid. On the duth of Juno, 1843, the agent of Stackeliv in Londou,lad the two acceptances of Coats & Co., pro’ in the bankrupt proceedings sgainct Coats & Co,, and subsequently recovered upon | them a dividend of one sh ling upon the pound, from tha bankrupt estate. On Nov. 6, 1848, Caer & Cutter, at the city of New Yors, gave to thy agent of Stackulin, and took up the acceptance of Smith Cutteg, Jr., two notes, tle ore for $241 03, at 75 days, and the other for $14 75, fayable in 90 days. ‘The agent of the defendant ntated that he bad pot possession vl the acceptances of Coats & Cc. but would obtain them. Caffer & Cutter paid these two notes at maturity, S me time after the payment of these two notes, the agent of the defendant roturned to Cater & Cutter the acceptances of Coats & Co., and it was then discovered by Cuiler & Cutter that the ‘aceept- ances had Leen proved in the proceedings in bankraptay, and that the dividend bail been paid upoathem. The de. fendant, Lefore this suit was brought, teuderad to the eg the amount and icterest received by him from he bankrupt esta ‘Ibe tender was refused by tho plaintiff. J'efendant, as the parties agree, have aid the amouvt tendered, into court Tho plain- iff claims that tre facts that Stackelin proved the acceptances of Coats & Co. in bankrup'cy, and re. ceived a cividend upon them, discharged Caifer & Cutter from iability toStackclin, and that as Caffer & Cutter in ignorance of those facts. paid their nutes, the assignee in this action can recover bacs the amount of such pay- ment. OPINION. The only question presented by these facta is, did the defendant, by causing the acceptances of Coats & Co. to be presented to the Court in Bankruptcy, and by receiv ing the dividend from tbe extate of Coats & Co., discharge Caffer & Cutter frow their liability to him? ‘The accep- tances of Coats & Co. were collateral securities for the yment of the debtdne by Cater & Cutter to the de- fendaut. The defendant bad « right to uso the ordinary ave legal means to coilect the collaterals, At the time he Pega the collaterals in the bankrupt proco- din; Caffer & Cutter had also dishonored the enoepeence ot Smith Cutter, Jun., and the defendint had a legal r to apprehend that all he ever could recoive upon nis claim would be what he could scrape togethor from two. bankrupt estates, and he was legally justifiasle in ob- taining wha uld from the estate of Coats & Co. by pursuin, covrse which the law of Eagland gave him.

The former rate, which was agreed to by the merchants themselves: was fourteen shillings a day, but within the past week they have demanded a recuction of two shillings, which would make the daily wages a dollar and o half. This reduction the men protested against at first, but the merchants hsving refused to pay the stipulated amount, they 1 fttheir work. A few, it is true, have agreed to the reduced wages, but a large majority still stand cut. Io one or two cases, a few of the men who have gone to work have been en, but not severely. These riotous proceedings are discountenanced by the great body of the 'leogshoremen. There were from eight hundred to a thousand present Ivst evening,and the proceedings were couductéd in @ qnost orderly manner. The meeting was called to order by Joba H, Williams, Wm. A. Hall officiating as Secreta- ry. Mr. Willams stated that this was an adjourned mecting, the first one having been held at Warrea Hal on Weaneaday evening. ‘I'h» expediency of ati!l coatin uing to refuse working for the reduced rate of wags ‘war, said be, discussed at that time, and he understood thut they were in favor of @ conciliatory course of con- duct, ‘The merchants had, he continued, held 9 meeting acine time since, st which they came to the couclusion | that they were unable to employ men at the rates they | were then paying, He now desired that they shoutd con- | sider the que‘tion with that calmness which it deserved. ‘He hoped that they would, on further deliberation, roiax tome of the sternness which they had exhibited up to the present time, and that they would consent to a com- romise. The men had, he admitted, been driven | into the position they ‘had assumed,’ for it w. properly speaking, a 8 | Altuoug the time w id althoas! every eeling of humauity was ovpposed to the course taken by the merchants, atill he was in favor of a | compromise with them. By doing this, ant yiel: ing to some extent, they would gain the sympathies aud good opinion of the public. This sacrifice could be borne with, | aud he bad no doubt would be attended with the most | beneficial effects hereafter. He proposed that thoy should | consent to reduction of a shilling, which hs was con- | vivced the merchants would willingly agree tv. It was a very bad time of the year to be idl re is a great | deal of distress among the laboring 3, wad in-such @ condition of things there might be some whose urgent | necessities would compel them to yield. He concluded by expressing the hope that no inflammatory language would be used, but that the proceedings would be char- | acterized by order throughout. Mr. JAMES KELLY also counselled order as the most ef. fective way of carrying out the business for which the meting wus cailed. He moved that a committes of three should be appointed to draw up a series of resolutions expressive of whatever determination they might arrive | at. | The motion was adopted, and Michael Higgins, Joho | MeMaban ava Wm. Looney were appointed, tue President | being afterwards added to the committes. | During the absence of this committee, Mr. Ketty called upon those present who were working for the re- gular wages—fourteen shillings a day—to stand up. About a hundred men did so, He then called over the names of the celinquent members—trat is, of all who had, notwithstanding their pledge to the society, gone to work fo: the reduced rates. Four names were an- nounced, twoof whom answered, and said that they had | strictly conformed to the rules, and were at pre-eat working for fourteen sbilliegs. | The committee returned, and presented the following preawble and resolutions :;— Whereas, at a meetiug of merchants and shipowners, held on Monday, the 11th inst., resolutions were passed, | stating that in consequence of the depression in the | shipping business, sa.d merchants find it necessary to | reduce our wages two auillings per tay—the same to go into eilect on Monday, the 15th inst.; leaving us no op- portuvity, in the interval, to take any action on said ro- solutions in ourcollective capacity, and impos: upon us the necessity of refusing to acquiesce in the demand made vpon os, until sash t me as we had an opportuci- ty of consulting together in relation to the matt therahy. rubjecting ourselves, in the mcantime—on ai count of our sefusal to work at the reducel rate wager—io various unfounded imputation and groundless charges; onl, whereas,we are peaceable and law abiding citizeps,seed ing to earn our bread in the aweat of our brow, and disclaim all connection with riotous or dlsoreerly procvedings, ond therefore utterly repudiate and de- nounce 48 groundless, fallacies, made fur the purpose of placing us im a false position before she publi:, those ex- Aggerated statements of dieorderly proceedings along the docks, which, witbin the last few days, bave appeared in some of the pnbife papers, and in which it is made to ‘me ol our members have becn implicated; and vi the great dullness in our business, and conse- q' arcity of employment at this season of tne year, together with the exorbitant prices of the neces- ies of life, render it a matter of great diliculty for us to sustain ourselves and families at the raie of wages we have been receiving since the middle of last March, that is, 14 shillings per day, at which rate we can average noamore at this searon—making 3 to 34g days per week— then about $¢—a sum, it qill be acknow‘edged, none too large for a family to live upon; and whereas, our earn- ings at the reduced rate, viz: twelve shillings por day ‘would be entirely inadequate to our support, we are led | te that the merchants will not pross their demand, | but that they will act generously and justly in our re- | gard; and whereas, in orcer to obviate any further dif. culty, and prevent a continued suspension of labor, as well as to remove all cause of misunderstanding betwean us and ovr employers, and to prove to them that we are | willing to make whatever sacrifice we can for their | commodation, we hereby offer them our sorvices at a duction of one shilling, in the place of two, in gur daily wages, and have, (herefore, unanimously sclved, That in view of the facts stated in the fore- | going preamble, we cannot, in justice to ourselves, con- sent to tbe reduction of two’ shillings per day in our wages, but that we are willing, at a sacrifice, to accept 4 reduction of one shilling. a nd after Monlay, the 224 inst., accept thirteen shillings per day for and dfteen for headers, in place of fourteen | shillings and sixteen shillings, the rate heretofore paid; | ond that we will work for no person wao refuses that | rate, cr who employs others at @ lower rate of wages.

He thought it would not make any differ- ence whether they accepted twelve shillings or asked for twenty shilinge, There was only a certain amoant | | | of work to dome, and the merchaats woull be compelled to’ give them what they asked for. It isn’t possible to knock « hare out of a | brush when it ain’t in it, and it’s useless to ask for work when there is none to be had. The Louse was here divided amid some confusion. | The chair, however, brought them toorder.

A motion was made to go to work on next Monday. This was put and declared carried. Here a ecene of great confusion ensued. A number of the distatisiied rushed for the door in arder to loave the | meeting. The door was closed, but they at leagth suc- | ceeded in opening it and left the room. There were not, however, more than thirty persons among the malcon: tents. Ordor being restored, The Cuaimman stated that reports injurious to the stevedores bad been published in the newspay .
