TARE SPEAKER¢HIP—SPIRITED CAUCUSING—GREAT DISSENSION—AaS THEY WERE—ADJOURNMENT OF bake eg Arnany, Jan. 22, 1858. The night caucusing has recently been mostly confined ‘to the republicans of the House. Their hopes of eventu- ally drawing three more Awericans to their faith in electing Speaker and Clerk, were completely dissipated yesterday. They assembled in secret caucus last night for the purpose of endeavoring to settle upon some plan of organization, With Mr. Van Valkenburgh there was not the least difficulty. That gentleman, with a commen- dable generosity and spirit of harmony, offerea to ‘withdraw bis mame as candidate for Speaker. He ‘was willing to concede liberally to the democrats, for the purpose of organizing and pro- ceeding bo the transaction of the business of the State and the people. A large number, satisfed that their candi- date for Clerk—Mr. Richardson—was something of a stumbling block in the way, proposed to drop him, and select a more unexceptionable person, Mr. R. has himself frequently said that he was in the hands of his friends, and stood ready to abide by any decision which they should make; but he has not declived, and he has some score of warm and hearty friends among the members, ‘who declare that if a republican clerk is chosen, Richard- gon shall be the man. The caueus last night was mot at ail harmonious. It continued in ses- sion until near midnight; and from the un- pleasant countenances worn by the members as they ap- peared at Congress Hall, after their adjournment, it was evident that they had experienced a very stormy time, and closed their secret session without arriving ata def- ‘nite conclusion asto their action to-day. Thus it scems that legisiaion and every thing appertaining thereto is blocked, arrested thus far, merely on account of @ diffi- culty among the republicans as to a candidate for Clerk ‘of the House of Assembly. The caucus, however, finally agreed to adbere to the former action of the repeblicans, by standing to their candidates. ‘The reverend chaplain made a most effective addrese to the Throve of Grace this morning, to which the members listened most profoundly. Mr. Sicintosh (rep.) was evi- dently higbly impressed with the duty of 8] ly organi- zation, and therefore offered a resolution that the voti should be confined to two candicates. Mr. Law (Aw. thanked the gentleman for his valuable advice. but in- formed him that the American members would exercise their own ciscretion. The proposition was promptly re- jected. A vote was thenftaken and resulted, as it had done fifty times before, inno choice Several attempts were made to select new men, but a majority on every side op- ved it, The republicans made another attempt to” elect a Speaker by a plurality vote, as they had done half «dozen times before, which was again promptly rejected. Reso- lution after recolution was offered and voted down. There bas been move difficulty in settling this vexed question of organization than m agreeing upon the great national compromise made in Congress In 1850. It is ow feared thatthere are no Clays, Websters, Casses or Dickinsons in the present Roure of Assembly ' ‘The Senate adjourned over until Monday NEW YORK LEGISLATURE. Senate, Aunayy, Jan. 22, 1858.

Clapp for that of John J. Reilly. Mr. Parsons, (dem.) moved to amend by declaring Mr. Alvord elected Speaker. Mr. Mitixr, (Am.) moved to lay the subject on the table. The motion was lost. Amidet much excitement, the amendment of Mr. Par- tons striking out of the resolution all after the word ‘re. solved,” and inserting ‘that Mr. Alvord be elected Speaker,” was carried by ayes 63, nays 52—Messrs. Batchelder, Becker, Horton, Law, D. Miler and Russell voting with the democrats i the affirmative. Mr. C. Boughton (Am.) had paired off, and Messrs, Hodge and Reynolds (Ams.) were absent. Immediate.y after the announcement of the vote, Mr. Rosset (Am.) declared he had voted under error, but the result was not allowed to be altered. The question was then announced by the Clerk to be on the first amendment to the original resolution as first amended. Mr. Dayton (dem.) rose to a question of privilege, and argued that in reality Mr. Alvord was elected Speaker ,as the amendment being to strike out and insert was equiva. lent to the origical resolution. ‘A debate ensued, and Mr. Dayton was overruled. ‘The question was then takea on the amendmeat to the amendment, and was lost by 52 to 52—a tie vote. The question then recurred on the original resolution of Mr. H. Baker, which was tabled by ayes 61, nays 42. Mr. Hari next inoved that Mr. Van Valkenburg be declared Speaker. Mr. Wacen moved that every person but the members, reporters and officers be excluved from the bar. At this time the crowding of the lobby was immense. A warm debate now sprung up. Mr. H. Baxkr opposed Mr. Wager’s motion, and moved to lay it on the table. Carried, Mr. Hall's resolution electing Mr. Van Valkeaburg was then lost by ayes, 50; pays, 64. Mr. Lyscit, (dem.) then endeavored to change the pro- gramme by moving that John J. Beilly be declared elect- ed Clerk. “He did this to test the honesty of Mr. H. Baker, who hgd endorsed Mr. Reilly at the morning session. Mr. Baker said he had offered to vote for Mr. Reilly in copnection with Mr. Van Valkenburgh, and would do so still. Mr. Case, (rep.) moved to amend by providmg three sessions a day until au organization was effected, when the whole subject was tabled. ‘During this discussion much figuring had been going on, and evidently something was planning. Ir. Lavixe, (dem ) moved that another vote be taken for Speaker, and that a plurality elect. After an ineffectual effort to lay this on the table, Mr. McInros moved to amend by making Mr. Van Val- kenburgh Speaker, and Charles Heghes Clerk. Intepse excitement during the vote on this resolution, for it became evident that the republicans generally had deciaed since the morning to support it. The vote resulted as follows:— Aves.—Messrs. Adams, Becker and C. Boughton, Ame- ricans; and the balance republicans—S2. Nays.—Meesrs. Batcheller, Horton, Law, D. Miller and Russell, Americans; Lewis, republican; and the balance a Lost by & tie vote. Much warmth of feeling was manifested during this test, and at the close another skirmish on the plurality rule occurred, pending which an effurt was sot on foot to re- consider the last vote. This getting nobeed about, a sudden motion was made to adjourn, which prevailed, and the House adjourned till o-morrow 4 The lobbies were densely packed during the session. THIRTY-FIFTH CONGRESS.

Land @rant Swindles—The Female Lothy—Early Adjourn: ment, dc. ‘The land grants of the last Congress, from their fre- quency and magnitude, were the subject of no little ani- madversiov. ‘The hasty and apparently indiscriminate legislation by which millions of acre# of the public lands were transferred to irresponsible parties, was calculated to awaken a suspicion that there was something wrong at the bottom of it; that there was a rottenness at the heart of the policy which should be searched for with the scal- pel of judicial investigation. Doubtings in regard to the correctness of the transactions anon found vent in whis- perings, and whispers soon became louder and louder, until from Maine to Texas went forth the loud cry that cor- ruption ruled in the Congress of the country, and the public voice demanded that it should be rooted out. At this time the Hxxatp stood like the watchman upon the tower, and it was through its exertions and influence that the Inves- tigating Committee at the last session was appointed. The developements before that committee form a part of the history of the last Cougress, and I need not take up your epace to reproduce them, My object in alluding to the land grants at at this time is to give some facts in connec tion with them which, I think, have not yet found their way to the public. The sole object and action of the nu- merous land bills of the last Congress were to swindle the country and communities; the country first, by taking from it property for which no return was to be made, and communities, secondly, by imposing upon thgm a credi based upon grants of land secured by fraud, and the faith of which was to be sacrificed whenever the interests of the holders of the grants demanded it. The investigation ef the committee established themfact that the legisla: tion was brought about by improper meane, and the latter part of my proposition is sustained by recent develope- ments made in the courts of Western New York. It | seems that one of the lobby received, as remunera- tion for services in securing the passage of a land grant Dill, for the benefit of the Chicago, St. Paul and Fond du Tac Railroad Com. | rece Chains mortgage bouds of that corporation whicu | jately came to maturity, and upon which payment was re. | sisted upon the grounds of a want of consideration. The | game is a very pretiy one, and illustrates in a strong light the truism that “when rogues fal! out honest men get their due.’’ Suits against other parties will undoubtedly | soon turn up in other courts. So we go. But notwith- standing the uphappy termination of the Land bills of the last Congress and the scandal connected with them, there are to be found individuals reckless exough to take an- other hand in this favorite game of public swindling. During the present session Congress is to be called upon to | consider a measure involving the grant of a million of acres of the public lands, to be ostensibi; voted to the erection of @ ship canal at Niagara. scheme I do not hesitate to pronounee one of the grandest humbugs of theday. The cost of such acana! as is proposed caunot ie Jess than el noi — sum never can be raised private su , but the projectors can contrive to ooane a slim pon yoy the grant of land which I have | mentioned, The million of acres of land will buta | little way towards building the canal, but it will go far | to enable those intorested in the measure to put money in| their purses by filching it from the pockets of those who may be deceived and seduced by the flimsy endorse ment of Congress, if it can be obtained. I know that there is a lobby at work for the scheme, and I also know that | the influence of Senator Douglas was solicited to secure | & recommendation of the scheme in the last message of the President. Mr. Douglas could not be prevailed uj LC Tagd agi and that portion of the programme failed. When this measure is proposed I the House will make it the occasion for a thorough in cbaracter of the Land Grant bills of the Congress, | with a view to their entire revision. Let that class of le- | Gislation be carefully reviewed. Let that corruption be rooted out, and let the present Congress keep its skirts clean from a like contaminating matter. The female lobby is hero in full strength. Many sup- pose that lobbying is particularly confined to broadcloth and cassimere, but the fact is, silk, crimoline and other fixings operate largely in the’ lobby, and exert a moro powerful influence er, bogey than is generally suppored. is not a soiree, or hop or so- cial gathering that our fair lobbyiste do not improve the opportunity to present some private claim in the most at- tractive light, and you may believe that a pouting lip and languirbing eye is more potent with members than the ‘most artful se! ing ofthe male bipeds.

In fact, I'believe more speeches are made to that quarter than to the Speaker's chair. The daily at- tendance of Iadies is quite large, and much interest in the Proceedings is exhibited by the fair occupants of the east gallery. I believe there is a disposition on the part of both braaches of Congress to close the business of the session atan early day, It is now the impression that an adjourn ment will take p! soon 48 May 1, There seems to | no good reason for prolonging the session to a later lay. Wasiinoron, Jan. 20, 1858. The Patent’ Lothy in the FicldA—The Different Interests at Work, dc., de. The patent lobby is gradually coming on the field this sersion, though #0 far the India rubber interest has kept rather out of the way. Sam Colt, the pistol man, has rented a houre here, and made application for a revival of his expired patent. His prospects in that connection are pot brilliant, for whilst many members do not object to voting for the extension af an existing patent where a plausible cause can be shown, there are several of them who regard the revival of an expired patent as a different matter. They consider that when a patent has expired the right to it becomes vested in the public, and that Con. gress bas no copstitutional right to deprive the public of this acquired right. But in Colt’s caso it is hara to un- sderstand what solid pretence he can set up for revival of his monopoly. As he was & poor man when he commenced—ie now 4 wealthy and has mile all his money out of bis patent, ho cannot reriously tend that he has not bad that reason. able reward for bis invention which is all the principle of the patent law contemplates. The shorter the time ® patent monopoly exists, consistent with a due rewart for the inventor, the better for the public and the progross of inventions. To extend them for an unreasonable period, is to stop, during time, all improvemente in the par ticular article, except what original inventor chooses to adopt. Col. Colt has made good contracts with the lish, Fwoch, Russian and American governments, and be is ee the eleemosenary regard of Congress. jek , the reaper peteahe, also here trying to not an’ extention his present patent, but 1 of the firet patent he took out, for'a crude me which he never made work. fie improved a this crude principle, and has a patent for improvement. But what he seeks is a revival of the patent on his first crudity, so as to prevent any other reon from making improvements on it. as it might inter- ere with his present monopoly. He has plenty of money to prosecute hie matter, but so far he bas had but meagre success, either at the Patent Office or in Congress. He has been trying to get a bill pasted for several years, and is here again to resume bis labors. The Iudia rubber interest consists of the Chaffee Day's claims patent, the Hayward patent, Horace F. find the Goodyear patent. ‘The Chaffee and the Hay pn poem Eave sapreed, 008 their By aged in songht. y are iiminary processes in the manufac ture of the vulcanized rubber, and either of them if re. vived would control the Goodyear patent.

Nor wowld I say ono word to discourage what is 80 com- mendabie. I would simply check any ridiculous excess like that which I have noticed in Paris and London.

Itcontmves to bea theme of much remack here. The black repubiieans ailege that there are men now jo this city who wonld bave given $400.00 for it; that tfom $25 to $100 an acre could easily have been obtained for it bad it been offered at public sale. Of course it ix all very well | to make such assertions now, when there is no chance of these liberal gentlemen being taken at their wor: ‘The Sevate has as yet taken no action on the consular appointments seat toihem by the President on Wedues- day.

Though we did not understand the words of the souge tho Indians chavted, rather than sang, in chorus to their dancing, the acting Was so good that we comprehended the meauing. Our tame and artificial civilized theatrical performers might study these people with profit. Their tunea or chants, while clear and sonorous, are, as might be expect- ed from a rude, uncultivated people, monotonous. The sounds, though in monotone, were far from being un- pleasant, and were they heard ut a distance, would be like the continued music of falling water, and very agreeable, ‘This effect was not realized, the audience being so near the actors, and their graphic, and sometimes tragic motions representing war and the chase in rather a terrible man- ner Besides the Pawnee Indians, there were several others, and among them three or four of the Sioux, who occasionally seemed to become inspired with the songs of the Pawnees, and rose from their seats and joined in the dance and chorus with great earnestness. ‘after these performances, which were frequently ap- plauded, and which continued for over an hour, the old and grave looking Pawnee chief, Pe-ta na sharo, made a short speech, expressive of his gra\ifcation, with all the air of a well bred man. At the conclusion, Mr Copway, the eloquent and well known ha!f-breed gentieman, de livered an impressive address to the Iadians. Oue exceedingly interesting incident occurred during the evening, wortby of note. During and at about the end of the just dance, Cha hugh, the Sioux chief, a nobie looking fellow, with an intellectual head, tine Roman nose and prominent eyes, expressive of the orator, and some- thing like cur manly and stately looking secretary of war, Governor Floyd, carrying a bunch of flowers in one band avd bis tomahawk in the ether, danced away from the other Indlans to @ part of the room where were sitting a group of ladies, and ip the most graceful and chivairous manner handed the bouquet to one of them. Who will say after this that politeness and gallantry are exclusively the growth of civilization’ Is thnot inherentin human vaturey Beauty, no matter where found, commands the admiration of all men, hiother civilized or savage. Cha-hugh, the savage chief, Jed the flowers because he loved them, and not, like lized gallants, from any purpose of paying a compli- mont: he had seen them, and loyed them, and gathered them mi a time, because he loved them—the beautiful flowers of the prairie—in the wilds of Nebraska, and he saw a beautiful young woman in the crowd of spectators around him whom be selected thus to honor. The Em. peror Napoleon could not bave paid so bigh a compliment, for ip bis case it — be supposed there would more of the manner and form of politeness. Cha bough, equally a monarch, though ina lester sphere, was geverned only by the natural impnises of his nature. Can a more im pressive or suggestive scene be imagined than this, in which civilization and barbarism are brought in contact, and where the savage man outdoes the civihzed in refine ment of manner and gallantry of conduct? Another matter of fraud, ona smalier scale, is spoken of, in which the Doorkeeper of the House of the last Copgress is mentioned. It is said that Mr. Darhng ts charged with taking furniture from the Capitol, and not returning it, and with having improperly disposed of pub- lic books ant documents. Mr. Speaker Orr has appointed, as a special committee, the following gentlemen, to inves. tigate these charges:—Hughes, of Ia.; Jenkins, of V Purviaéce, of Pa.; Thom , of N. Y., and Bryan, of Texas. Thus we goon. Let the independent press pur sue its course of duty, and we may expect to obtain a re- form, so much needed, at the federal capital. wider field in the South on which to distribute bis rewards. Pennsylvania got two consulships in the list sent in to the Senate day be’ore yesterday, Mr. Surmienti, of Philadel- phia, and Mr. 8. L.

Campbell, of Ohio, con- tested by Mr. Vallandigham, involves a knotty question— the right of negroes toffote. | Mr. Campbell polled a consi- derable nomber of votes from colored persons, whom his opponent contends possess no right of suffrage. The de- bate, therefore, will certainly ‘open up a number of old sores, and a thorough re discussion on the principles of the Dred Scott decision, and the rights, privileges, virtues and qualifications of Sambo may be looked for. As both the Minnesota constitutions are now in the pos- session of Congress, and as they are both the same, the question of the admissian of that Territory as a State will be soon before the House. At this juncture a question will ar se as to whether the present delegate from Minne. sota Territory, Mr. Kingsbury, shail retain his seat or not. He was elected both from Minnesota and the contemplated ‘Territory of Dacotah: but subsequenty the people of Da cotah elected a Mr. Fuller as their delegate to Congress, in anticipation of its recognition as a Territory, and the question arises whether he shall sit in that capacity be- fore the Territorial organization 1s established by Congress, or whether Mr. Kingsbury ehall continue to represent Dacoiah until the organic act is passed A host of bills have been introduced for the improve- ment of rivers and harbors, but in the present condition of the treasury the lobby has a barren field to work upon, and itis not likely that any of the schemes for plonder will be brought to maturity. ‘The American Colonization Society held its firat meeting in Trinity Church (Dr. Cummings) on Tuesday eveving. Hon. Elijah Whittesley presided, avd a report of the past year's work of the Society was read by the Socretary, Kev. Dr. Gurley, embracing many intorcsting facts rela. tive to the colony of Liberia, and the explorations of Rev. Jobo Seys into the highgnds interior to Monrovia ana Busse, to fix upon a site for a settlement in a healthy climate. On the 3d December, 1856, these explorations were completed, Mount Fawbla, in ‘the Queat country, was selected—51 miles from Monrovia, 30 miles due east from Milisburg—for the interior settlement. The chiefs of the country, from former attachments, welcomed Mr. Seys’ return, and cooperated in his euterprise. Their baggege and supplies were speedily conveyed, by the assistance of the natives, to their mountain home. A site for the settlement was cleared = The first house was commenced on the 22d of December, 1856, and early in January following Mr. Seyes wrote that he expected to be ready for the comfortable accommodation of the pioneers by the M.C. Stevens. It fs agreed upon that the consent of Liberia and the Colonization society are necessary for the establishmert of all new settlements. In placing a few unacclimated emigrants on the high land of the in terior, it was intended to ascertain whether their health w be better preserved there than upon the coast; aod if such ebould be found to bethe fact, then, in the condi- tions specified by agreement, to found’ permanently aa in torior settlement. Various improvements have been sug gested by the agents of the society,such as the coustruc- tion of roads and the building of mission schools, The pecuniary condition of the society appears more proa- perous than at any former poms | The receipts during the year amount to $97,384 75—nearly one haif this the gift of one man, David Hunt, Esq., who made to the so ciety the prizcely donation of $45,000, having the pro- vions year remitted $5,000, Gerard Ralston, Keq., a cktizen of the United States, resi- dent in London, an early and constant member and vice president of this fociety, has been appointed Consul General of Liberia, and has Jost no opportunity of bring ing the interests of that republic to the attention of the zo verrments of Great Britain, France and other European Powers, while by the appointment of new Consuls in tho prinelpal seaports of England, he has sought to make known and encourage her commerce. The English govern ment has consented to repair tho armed vessel which was come years ago her Majesty's giftto Liberia; while the Emperor of France has directed a simiar vessel of war to be placed at the disposal of Mr. Ralston for trans- mission to that country. ‘There is quite a large attendance of the members and friends of the society now in the city, among them Rev.

The motion of Senator Clay, of Alabama, for the repeal of the fishing bounties law, and the motion of Mr. Toombs, of Georgia, for the repeal or modification of the naviga- tion laws, have excited some indignation and alarm among Northern men here. They look upou this move as & preconcerted attack by the South on the privileges and prosperity of New England. The act of Congress of 4th July, 1789, the first laying duty on goods, wares, and merchandise imported into the United States, imposed on salt the duty of six cents per bushel. The fourth section gave a bounty of five cents for every quintal of dried fish, every barrel of pickled fish and salt provisions exported to foreign countries, in lieu of drawback of the duties on the importation of the salt employed and expended therein. The act of 10th August, 1790, raised the duty to twelve couts per bushel, and the bounty in lieu of drawback to ten cents per quivtal or barre!, to continue till the debts of the United States were paid, ‘The act of L6th February, 1792, referring to the existing bounty on the export of dried fish, gave, “in lieu of draw back of duties on the salt used in preserving the same,” bounty on the tonnage of vessels employed in the Bank and otber cod fisheries, during the season specified, under certain conditions. ‘This bounty was, on vessels between five and twenty tons, $1 per ton; between twenty and thirty tons, $1 50; and above thirty tons, $2 5€; provided that no vessel shall be allowed more than $170. ‘The “fishing bounties’ act now in force was subsequent to the war of 1812. By its provisions a bounty of $3 60 @ ton is granted to ail vessels above five and un dor thirty tons, and $4 to all vewels over thirty tons, actu ally engaged in fishing for four months in the year, and contaias 8 clause giving $3 60 to all vesscle over thirty tons for three and a half months’ seryice, provided the crew consists of ten men or over. This was the first act where fishing bounties did net depend on the duties on salt. The object of the act was to give encouragement to the growth ofa hardy rave of seamen, who might be ser. viceable in times of war, ‘The Fiehing Bountice act of 1792 was repealed in 1807, when a sudden falling off in (he number of fishing vessels, and of course of experienced seamen, testified to the value of the law for the purpose for which it was designed. ‘As New England le the gainer by the Gshing bounties, not only to the extent of the money expended, but in the im- portance it gives her from the jon of an excelient marine, the motion to repeal this law—coming as \t docs from a Southern Senator and in conjunction with a motion from another Southern gentleman to repeal the naviga- tion laws and grant permission to foreign veasels to parti. cipate in our Coasting trade, which strikes also at Northern (ntereste—hae awakened a jealous fear on the part of Northern gentlemen. The following is Mr. Clay's bill, “ repealing all laws and parts of laws allowing bounties to veseels employed on the Bank and other cod faberies:"* Be iLenacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That from and after the last day of elaghteen hundred and @fy sine ext) all neta and parte of nets giving and allowing bonntieg to veesels employed in the Ban! other cod ies be, and the same are hereby repenied ‘The bill was read twice on the 19th inat., and referred to the Committee on Commerce. who have re; there- on.
