Mr. Boyce, (dem.) of 8. C., argued that no man could be punished except in pursuance of previous law. The act of Mr. Brooks was not ‘ disorderly conduct,"’ in the sense the constitution intended. ‘The power to expel did not embrace a general class of offences, but was restrict. ed to offences which violated rules of order. Mr. Exnexmax, (K. N.) of Tenn., relied on the clause of the constitution, which had been quoted to show that the House had no jurisdiction over this offence, to prove that the same clause does confer jurisdiction, Relative to the question for what cause may the House expel a member that was for the House todetermine. This power had never been abused, and would not be now. He con- demned the extremes of both sections. Tt was then agreed that the speeches in this debate should be limited to fifteen minutes, owing to the many who wish to speak, At this period more than three-fourths of the members retired to dinner, Mr. Nictiors, (nigger worshipper) of Ohio, said this matter constituted an offence of which the House should twke cognizance. When Mr. Brooks concluded to asaail Mr. Sumner he made up his mind to take all the conse- quences; therefore neither he nor his friends should com. plain of the House expressing its disapprobation of the act. ‘Mr. gKxarr, (nigger worsnipper) of Mass., earnestly condemned the assault, and endorsed the sentiment of Massachusetts, as expressed in the resolutions of her Le- gislature.

Mr. Graxcux, (Digger worsbipper) of N.

Wasmveorow, July 10, 1856. The Case of the Count De Sartiges—French Interference in the Crampton DificullyMr. Ball's Resolution—Cor- ruption in the Departments, dée., de. The Union yesterday announces the wish of the Presi- dent for a reconciliation of matters with the Count de Sar- tiges, since the latter received his orders of honor from the Emperor of France. The penny organ of this city, the day before, was indiscrest enough to charge Mr, Sartiges with insolent interference in our afairs with England, which the President would now havo placod among the bygones, boing satisfied with his victory over Lords Palmerston and Clarendon, The fact that the French Minister's conduct had, for mouths past, been of- fensive t the President and Secretary Marcy was no secret to the editor of the Union, who finds it necessary to mis-state notorious facts in trying to smooth over the particulars of a Minister, as the easiest way of settling past differences. For his trouble he has not the thanks or ac- knowledgments of Mr. Marcy, who prefers speaking for himeelf in this matter of M. Sartiger, as in the case of the Jess offensive Mr. Crampton. I send you, from the last publication of the New York Courrier des Flats Unie, the follow ing precious article, which {is said Mr. Sartiges read to two of his foreign colleagues before sending it for publication to New York — news from Kurope announce, for the difference between England and the United States, a conclusion which we were far from having expected. The Cabinet of London would accept, without even thinking to uve diplomatic reprisals, the dismmiagal of its Minister at Wash. ington, and of the three Cousui# semt away at the same time. A ministerial declaration, made in open Paliament, gives to this solution the authority, in some degree, of an Official fact. We thitk, however, that there is still room to look for its defivite confirmation. It seems difficult to admit that the English goverwment should have come to a formal rictermipation, in one sense or ia the other, be fore the arrival of its dishonored agents. The reserve within whieb Lord Palmerston and Lord Clarendon have begged Parliament to confive itecif, indicates, of itself, in some deg that the decisions announced have a certain provisional Character. There i room, then, to wait further, before appreciating the policy which may seem to have! Jopted by Great Britain In giving publicity to this article, the (rion confesses aston <bme wonders how it could have appeared. Mr. Sartiges” offensive bearing was made known to his court through Mr. Mason our, Minister, and the ap- Preelation of it te shown in the new honor bestowed tpon the Minister. The government i not ignorant ot the fact that Fiance, from the first, encouraged Grent Britain in hor stand agaiost the Uulted States, but subsequent considerations, and her policy in Africa, bave induced a tinal backing out. Fre Truth shows that the French Minister at Washington has had proved of by bis ment. It iv, indeed, unfortut that the Forney Nicholson union is aw ed to speak the secrets of the government, while ts show it to be the most unreliable sheet published in Washington. The resolution of Mr. Rall, of (hio, for a committee to examipe into charges of bribery and’ corruption, would be very well if this result would but amount to anything. ‘These committees are money making things at times, ae has been shown very frequently, and are looked in the main as mere claptraps, gotten up for selfish pur poses.

Should Mr. Ball get into his inquiry the public would be surprised to lear that its ending was different from the examinations Which, for time past, have preceded it Waemserow, July 10, 1856. Special Patent Legietation—The Appropriation Bitle—The Kaneas Agitation, dv. Whitet no general bill for the amendment of the present patent laws will be pressed this session, yet interested parties hope to haye more than one special act passed for the extension or revival of patents. The most prominent among these are Gyrus H. MeCormick, for his reaper, and Woodworth & Company, tor their planing machine, Both thete patents have expired, and the modest proposal is to revive them, thus depriving the public of rights already Vested in them by the expiration of the patents. It is hot denied that MeCormick and Woodworth have made fortunes by the protection whieh, for years, they have enjoyed. The only argument offered ts that they desire fo revive and continue the monopoly, and are willing to vv SUNDAY MORNING, JOLY 13, 1856. pay for it, if necessary. The enactments come up in the modest form of private bills ‘for the relief’ of MeCor- mick and Woodworth, and, it is supposed can be slipped taroag on some private bill hn when vigilant members like Mr. Letcher may be off their guard. ‘A good deal of very unjust criticism against the Com mittee of Ways and Means has found its way into print. The truth, however, is that the present committee re- ported the appropriation bills to the House at an earticr day, from the period of their organization, than they ever were before reported. This is a simple fact, and the negligence of the House and Sonate ia taking up the work thus presented cannot be charged, in fairness, to the House Committee, who presented all the appropriation bills during the first week of March—four months ago. It is believed by many well informed members that Mr. Havens’ Kansas bili wil! ultimately both houses. It differs somowhat from the Senate bill in the checks which it imposes to guard agaiust unfairness in the elections, but does not in any form recognise the Topeka doings. My impression, however, is that no bill will pasa, as the republican leaders prefir the jssue should go before the country as already made up, They desire agitation, no quiet.

There are government clerks in this city who, on a salary of from one to two thousand dollars a year, have built themselves splendid mansions, and who keep for their family use horses and carriages, the cost of which alone would more than exceed the amount of their legitimate income. These men occupy their time chiefly in hunting up the ways and means for adventurers to get their “ paws’? into the public treasury, and then haye the spoils which are taken therefrom di- vided, in proportion to its amount—one half or two thirds going to the thief, and the balance tothe ‘honest’? govern- ment clerk. Many of these men are not only known to be thus engaged by the heads of the bureaus to which they belong, but they are aided in their enter. prises, and encouraged in their deceptions, for considera. tions agreed upon among themselves. Those clerks are not unfrequently the agents of their chiefs, or heads of office, and are to be founa at times, when speculation runs high, in private bargamings with’ some government dry dock "builder, or mail carrier, or contractor, who wants the aid of the office towhich the ry belongs, and who finally comes to the conclusion that it must be se- cured at apy price. If the amount in question is impor- tant, the pay to get it must be in proportion, which some- times overreaches the $10,000 fee sworn to by Mr. Wen- de I, the public printer, in the case of the Mobile Custom House.

The Grenadier Guards and Coldstream pace household troops, are seldom sent on f¢ service.
