400 AFFAIRS AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL, Passage of the Pacific Railroad Bill in the Senate. H SPOLIATION BILL, The Presidents Veto Sustained, &e., &., &o. THIRTY-THIRD CONGRESS. GBCOND SESSION. Senate. Wasmnoton, Feb. 19, 1855. MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS, A communication was received from the Secretary of War, accompanied with seventy-five copies of the Army Register, for the use of the Senate. Mr. Cass, (dem.) of Mich., said he should postpone his review of Lord Clarendon’s remarks until to morrow. Mr, Wanx, (free soil) of Ohio, asked for the considera- tion of the resolution respecting Custom Houses and public offices for Northern Obio. Mr. Sewanp, (free soil) of N. Y., presented the peti- tion of shipmasters, shipowners and merchants of New ‘York, in favor of the carriage passenger bill, Referred ‘to the Committee on Comwerce. A joint resolution was passed to settle the accounts of the late Governor Burt, of Nebraska, Mr. Dovax, (dem.) of Wis., presented three memo- rials from Wisconsia, asking for the establishment of a land district in Lake Superior. Mr. Mourox,, (whig) ‘of Fla., moved that the Committee on Commerce Inquire into the expediency of the erection of a building for a custom house and post office at Pea- la, Florida. On neten of Mr. Dawson, (whig) of Ga., it was re- solved that twenty thousand copies of the “State of the Union” be procured for the use of Congress, if obtainable within the price of one dollar a copy. THE PACIFIC RAILROAD. On motion of Mr. Gwin, (dem.) of Cal., the bill pro- viding for a railroad fromthe Mississippi Valley to the ific was taken up. Mr. CLayTon, (whig) of Del , wanted to see a commu- nication between the tern Stati ad the Paci‘ic, but did not believe either road embraced in this bill could be built. If built the alternate sections oi land would go to the builders, and nothing would be left to maintain the road except the treasury of the United States. Through travel and freight will not support the road, and there is no way travel of consequence. The whole thing, so far, is impracticable. Mr. Butter, (dem ) of 3. C., agreed mainly with Mr. Clayton. The scheme waa too expensive, and the pro- jectors were pot well informed enough to carry it out. Mr. Geyer, (whig) of Mo , said—It is proposed to build three roads, which will cost from three to four hundred millions of dollars. The railroads now use annually $80,0C0 tons of iron, of which 100,000 are manufactured in the United States. The roads now in construction will soon make the amount consumed annually 450,000 tons, exclusive of the roads projected by this vill. Where is all this iron to come from’ Mr. Pearce, (whig) of Md., opposed the bill. He was astonished at the earnestness with which such an enor- mous project was presented. He spoke of the ditfi- culties of construction, the unextinguished Indian titles, &e , and concluded that he could not vote for any part of the scheme. Mr. Rvsk, (dem.) of Tex. s, thought the twelve sections of land per mile through deserts, and the security to be taken for the work, made Mr. learce ament appli- cable rather to contractors than to the ernment, Mr. BUTLER pointed out further difficul and Mr. Gwin, (dem.) of Cal., replied, answering the od- jections. Mr. Sxwarp raid he never expected to be here advo. cating three railroads, but so it was. The objection came too late. He favored the proposed undertaking, snd thought the country would never be ina better position than at present to undereake the enterprize, ani that the advantages incidental thereto would justify the undertaking. Mr. Masox, (dem.) of Va., said that the mails and be transported over these roads munitions of war anh It would be a government eoterprive, and he was asto- nished that the Senators possesset so little information as to the construction or working of the road. He could view with satisfaction the United States engaged in s0 ponderous a work, and hoped provisions would be made to require the proposals of the contractors to be reported to Congress. Ke moved to amend the bill to secure that object. ies *, Cuasx, Evans and Bett. continued the discus- sion, wbén, at a late hour, the bill passed, by a vote of 24 sgainst 21. NOMINATIONS AND CONFIRMATION. Tha Seoatethen went into an execative session, at which Douglas C. Cooper's nomination to the Southern Superiotendency of Indian Affairs, vice Thomas 8. Brew, removed, was sent in, John Appleton was confirmed Secretary of Legation fo London,and Mr. Cox, of Ohio, was confirmed Secretary of Legation to Peru. Mr Atkinson, ‘Third Auditor, in place of Mr Burt. Senate adjourned. House of Representatives. WasuinGtox, Feb. 19, 1855, Mr, Waxerer, (dem ) of N, Y., preseated petitions from the Messrs. , Shipbuilders, and others connected with the commerce of New York, in favor of the bill re- lating to the carrying of passeogers by steam and other vessels. Referred to the Committee on Commerce. THE PRYSIDENT'S VETO MESSAGE. The Speaker announced the first business to be the consideration of the I’resident’s meseage on the veto of the French Spoliation bill. Mr. Baty, (dem ) of Va., in consequence of indisp9- sition, desired a postponement until Thursday, wishing to ep ak on the subject. Mr. Onn, (dem. )6f 8. C., presumed, if the House should now dispose of the Message, Mr. Bayly would not con sider it discourteous, and urged the passage of public bills as a reason for doing 80 Mr. Bay y said he wished to speak of the character of the veto power, thinking he would be able to show this was not x case for the application of it. Mr. Breckevewex, (¢em.) of Ky., feared if discussion was {indulged in on the message, important appropria tion bills would be lost. Mr. Over, (whig) of Mo., would have no objections to debate if good could result therefrom. There were only twelve working days remaining of this session, and we should transact public business. Gentlemen who to denounce the exercise of the veto power as a usurpation, could select some other time. Mr. Campnxnt, (free soil) of Ohio, withdrew his mo tion to postpone the consideration of the message until the Sd of March, but he said he would renew iti Mr. Orr's motive was to cut off debate with the view of bringing the Houre to vote on the flimsey and uasub stantial arguments of the message. Mr. Onx replied that Mr. Campbell should be the last man to complain, considering he wanted to postpone the mesasge to day, when it could not be debated ‘The previove question was then called, seconded, and carried b ‘a vote of 112 against Several members said tbis was a gag. The question was then stat:d—Shall the French Spo- Vation bill pass, the Prévident’s objections to the coutra- ry notwithstanding.” Decided negatively by a vote of iis against 86—not two thirds, as required by the coo. et tution.

THE CIVEL AND DIPLOMATIC BILL—FRENCH SPOLIATIONS GAL- fered ay an amendmsat the vetoed French spoliation bill The Onainmay (Mr. Hubbard) ruled it out of order. Mr. SoLLERS—I appeal from tie decision, Mr. Sxymour, (dem.) of Cma., said though he voted for the French Spoliation bill, he regarded the amead- ment as out of order. Mr. Kerr, Gun of N.C., favor of the French spcliation claims as any one, but would not vote to atiach such an am to the yore Dill, because it might force the President to veto it and thus stop the wheels of government, Mr. Taytor, a ) of Obio, sustained Mr. Sollers’ amendment, saying that if he were in the majority here, sooner than prosciibe debate on the veto message, a8 was done to-day, he would allow all appropriation bills to fail ard let a new Congress come together and act on them. The claims were well established Mr. SoLixrs believed the House has a right to protect its dignity and respectability. His honest opinion was, the President, in exercising ths veto power by mere caprice, has violated the spirit of the constitution. Reveral rules were read to abow that the amondient was out of order, ‘Mr. Wasunrn, (whig) of Me, contended it was rele- vant, as claims were provided for uader the treaty, which is a law of the land. $ Mr Cuanpusgr, (whig) of Pa., took a similar view, saying it was also the law of God—the “ higher law ?— owe n0 man anything.” Mr. Orr replied that every claim recognized by the treaty with Spain bad been paid. Mr. Campaxi. regarded these claims as honest as giv- ing members eight dollars per day, provided for by che bill, be was as much ia Mr. Oiver, of Mo., regarded the amendment as refer- ring to private claims, and asked where was the treaty obligation to psy them? Mr. Wasnuurn, of Me., referred him to the treaty of 1850, and second article. Mr. Ottver called for the production of proof, and re- minded the gentleman that they were acting under hu- man, not “higher law.”? On further debate on the point of order, the Chair- man’s decision was sustained by a vote of ayes, 10?— goes not counted. The Committee then rose, and the House adjourned, The Gardiner Claim. (From the Washington Union, Feb. 18.) The Circuit Court of the District of Columbia, on its chancery side, has been for several days past engaged in considering a motion made by the counsel for the gov- erment, on Monday last, to the court, to take up tl case of the United States against Samuel Casey, admin- istrator of George A. Gardiner, deceased, and others, which case had been set for hea.ing at Septemoer rules. The object of the suit was to obtain the restoration to the treasary of about $99,000, the same being a part, in the form of stocks, of the proceeds of George A Gar- diner’s claim under the Mexican treaty of 1848, on which claim the commissioners had awarded to him $428,740, which was paid to him out of the treasury of the United State e stocks were held on deposite by Corcoran & Riggs, and were claimed by the government as the property of the United States, on the ground that the award had been obtained by false swearing and forgery. The motion to take up the case was resisted by Moss rs Bradley and Carlisle, and by Mr. Lawrence for them oo several greunds; aud Messrs. B. and C. claimed the right to intervene as being creditors of George A. Gardiner, for their services as his counsel »n the criminal prosecutions against him, and to take further testimony before hear- in ge cause, ‘he motion was supported by Messrs. Redin and Fen- dail, of counsel tor the United State nd by Mr. Mar- bury, of counsel for the administra t id that he considered the answer putin by the adminia tor, submitting the case on the bill, exhibits the answer of Gardiner, end testimony,taken and on file, to be a fair and proper answer. On Wecnesday Messrs. Bradley and Carlisle presented to the court a petition in writing; praying, as creditors of Gardiner, to be made parties to the cause, to be al- lowed to take testimony therein, or that the court would postpone hearing the cause ti!l the administrator shall Proeerd to take certain testimony which taey alleged re- maired to be taken; and that the decree of the court af- firming the order of the orphans’ court granting letters to Mr. Casey might be revoked, and that the pettlosecs might be allowed to file a sufficient bona to carry their appeal to the Supreme Court, or that the petitioners might hav: leave to proceed in the orphans’ court to have said letvers revoked; and that inthe mean time no further proceedings might he taken in the cause, On Friday, the 16th instant, the court overruled the petition, being of opinion that the claim to intervene was not sustainable, and that none of the grounds on which the petition rested were snfiisient. The Court held that the act of the Orphans’ Court grapting letters to. Mr. Casey was a part of the judg- ment of that court deciding to grant them; that the a| peal to this court was from that judgment, and that thi ‘court had affirmed it; that the appeal from the judgment of this court to the Supreme Court had not been pre- sented by givi' «i within ten days, and thererore did not operate persed that the adjournment of the court on that day when it affirmed the judgment of the Orpbans’ Court, and its subsequent recess for more than ten days, did not excuse the delay in giving the bond, as the bond might, by law, be approved by « sin- gle judge ont of court; and that the proceedings showed that eufficient time and indulgence had been given for taking further testimony on the part of the original de- fendant The court directed that the cause shoald pro- | ceed. The cause accordingly went to hearing, and the reading of the papers, which are voluminous, was begun. AFFAIRS AT THE STATE CAPITAL. NEW YORK LEGISLATURE. Senate. Atnany, Feb. 19, 1855.

Tne fret occurred at half-past 11 o’clock P.

Santa Anna is led from one mistake to another —wit- he last one, which is the recall of General Woll, one of bis stavochert adherents A most sublime blunder bas been made me er the concucta just arrived, by which the Orizaba has derived some benefit, a round sum having been shipped by her, as the English steamer left before the said conducta ar- rived, say mx hours too soon. However, the blunder is not in this respect. The export duty on’silver is six per | cent, payable in the act of the specie being shipped. Now the govcrnment exac‘ed the payment of three par cent export duty on all the money sent down, so that, for instance, for one thousand dollars, thirty dellars was paio in Mexico. As it stands to reason that not half of tte downin this nner can be for shipmen' ry body thought that shipping $600 of the above $1,000 woul be all right, and the paper received for the above $30 would be liquidated at once; but no such thing; yoa are forced to ship the $1,000, or if only $900, $15 per cent port duty paid will ba at your aredit, available for next shipment. Tbia wonld not be so bad ia a properly or- ganized ccuntry, but here, where such a measure was adopted several years ago, a short time after such paper was denied admission, ani has remained in saspense to thie date, and may be bougbt at ninety per cent dis- count. although the'payment was a forced one, the same as itis now, Allforeiga ministers except ours, who was not to his knowledge interested in the question, interfered, but after being humbugged and afterwards deaied admission to H.

It is said, therefore, that the English war steamer now t Sucrificios is unaer orcers to proceed to Havana with atches for the Admiral, but we have little faith in such threats, knowing what a miserable subject the English minister is, aud how be is bound heed and foot to the government for different favors received. To distribute the conducta, a body of fifty soldiers was present to guard fhe customhouse and let one mer- chant in at a tims, a proof how they are treated, after paying enormously, to be defrauded at every’ step, whereas, in former times bat a single soldier was neeced. Of course merchants will not keep a single dollar here, either for psyment of duties—which is a heavy amount —or for freight of vessels, muletwers, purchases of to boceo, cocoa, or cotton of the coast, or for any other ex- nes neeced; as, Desides the conducta, no money comes into this port. The proof of the impracticability of the present system is wanifest already, as no vessels enter onr port, and the importation of lest year did not come up to one-fifth of that of the year before, ond will fall off more in the pre- rent year. The actual collector has a great blame of this he bear, on account of bis rapacity and bad manage- ment. Mr. Parres bas entered the cabinet of Minister of Fi- navce—a sure provf that Mr. Escuudor has mo more spoils in epectat on to lay bands on, otherwise he would | not have allowed his tool to be dismissed, His Serene Highness granted an amnesty to all exiled | individuals, but Lam in hopes that he will be bold as Louis Phillippe, c'est trop tard. From this amnesty Mr. | Ceballos, Serna and O'Campo, are exempted. | General Woll has been recaiied from the command at Matamoras, and ded to the capital, which in said to be the result of tre smail talk of » youngster lately employed at Matamoras, sltnough a mashroum of Arista’s, and he got rewarded with a fat place in this Custom House, This shows pretty clearly the political system of the conservadores to deprive Santa Anna of his best triends, and to leave him powerless. T bope he bas not proceeded with the bnsiness $3.000 000, nor will he succeed to get money ont of our minister—the more so as the government at Acapulco bas been established, notwithstanding the victories pro- claimed all over the country.

When a rumor was problematical, I bave invariably given itas such, and when, as will happen sometimes, I have been mista¥en, no false pride has ever deterred ms from acknowledging wy error, without waiting to be re- minded of it. Heving noticed this absurd attack in the Courier thus curtly, I will now resume my budget of in- telligence. At this very moment the city of Mexico isin a atate of cruel anxiety, The wail from’ Guadalajara waa expected with great \mpatience, as every one was waxious to learn what bad really occurred in that city. The mail armived at length, but brought neither letters nor papers. Much uncertainty prevails ‘The official pape y thar the revolutiovisia attempted to capture the town of Guadalajara; that they were on the point of succeeding, when the garrison eame to the rescue, repulsed therm with immevee Joss, drove them out of the town, and pur- sued the m with a view to their extermination. Raseive this story with a large allowance of salt, At the counts the real condition of things was as follows On the 29th January—anc not the 30th, a the papers say—some of the insurgents with a view of sounding the population, advanced into the faubourgs of Gunda- lojara, crying Piva Alvarez! Viva la Federacion,” and fraternizing with some o/ the inhabitants. On the receipt o: this intelligence, the Commandant, Geaeral Ortega, sent Col. Parra with « force of 400 infantry and cavalry against the rebels, The latter being greatly in- ferior in numbers fell back, and the government troops having vo enemy to combat, set to work killing the leperos, and taking prisoners those whom their muskets bad epared, The main body of the insurgents, coosisting of the troops under Santos PDegoliade, formerly Governor of Michoscan (a mav of great energy and character, and commander iv-chief of the revolutionary forces of Mi- choacan, ) and the solciers of . Puebliia, Huerta and Nu- vez, numbering altogether about 3,500 men, wi tion. ed three or four leagues ‘rom Guadalajara, village named San Pedro, between the town and the bridge of Calderon. It is a formidable body of men, consintiog principa'ly of cavalry, and having eight pieces of artil- lery. Mostof the intuntry even are mounted, in order to give increased rapidity to their movements. You will readily understand that with such troops Degoliaco might easily have captured Guadalajara, es- pecially ag be bad been called upon by the inhabitants themselves. But Dego!lado did not wish to take the city. He had acquired information that the brigade of Gea. Tavera, and that of Col. Pepe Santa Anna, son of the Presicent, bad been despatched against him ‘The for- mer, which was originally compo:e1 of 1,500 men 18 now reduced to 600 by desertion and death, the latter comprises 4(0 Puebla lancers, who ure disaffected towards the government, and are in fact the same men who were lately ordered to leav+ Puebla, in the fear they might breed an insurrection. Tavera and Sauta Anna together have about 1,000 men under their command. Ou the other hand, the garrison of Guadalajara cousiate of 700 or 800 men.’ Degollado preferred remamning quiet at San Pecro, snd waiting for the two brigaves rent against bim, He knows his strength, and is confdent of beating bis foes. This once accomplished the muni- tions of his cefeated enemies will furnish him a season- able supply, while numbers of them will pass over to his ‘Thus renforced. he wiil be enabled to march persea. His plan is extremely well combined, and bas probably succeeded. You will now uncerstand why in- telligence trom Guadalajsra is expected w.th so much solicitude, Degollaco, he news from the South Is unfavorable to the govern- ment. Gen. Angel Perez Palacios, Commander at Guer- rero,bi ceived orders to pack up bag and baggage and “ave Chi ipaacine, the position beicg no longer tenable, and to fall back upon Toluca. which isserousty menac- ed by the insurgents under Plutarco Gonzales.

Col. Moreno, with anoth:r detachment, was imprudent eaough to push forwarc in the heart of Costa Grande. Whether he will ever return is more than doubttal, It is certain that Col.

This Bahamonde had Gordiano Guzman, one of the most es- teewed leaders of the revolution, shot about a year ago. Guzman bad teen betrayed into his hands, was allowed two hours to make his peace with God, ard then execut- ed. Precisely the same conditions were meted out to Bahsmonde, and he was shot on the very ground where he rurr odered.
