They at ene time threatened to adjourn without even pass- ing the appropriation bills, but the President having clearly intimated to them that if they did so he would call them together the next day by his procla- mation for a special session, they thought better of it, and then went to work in earnest to seei they could not hurry through the business so as to adjourn by the day Gxed—the 7th of Jane.

For instance, the jast session occupied six months and fourteen days; the next session, which meets on the first Mo in December next, expires by law on the 4th of March, 1859, which will make three months and four days, and thus the whole term of the Thirty-fitth Cengress will amount to ebout nine months and “a half. Consequently, members _p: themselves to stay at home for the balance of the time, and while there “watch dogs of the treasury” are thus enj ying themselves, the people's business is suffering, and poor, beggarly, broken-bearted claimnnts die in despair, at the very doors of the Capitol. ‘There are now 236 representatives, 64 senators and 6 “delegates from the Territories, making a total of 306 members, whose aggregete pay amounts to $1,836,000 for a little over nine months services, and this too, without including mileage, which is another pretty item .of; about $75,000. Thea there .are all .the ~ clerks and_ messengers and \numerous employés of both Houses, whose salaries amount to aboat.$500,000 per year, to sa: nothing “abont the calculations in millons whic Congress has paid, and the enormous amount which it still pays for the public printing, includiag picture books to please and tickle the members’ constituency. By a fair calculation Congress sits on an average four heurs a day—sey from 12 o'clock M. un- tal 4-P.M., for the earlier adjournments and the innumerable bolidays meke up for all their night sittings at the heel of the session. Thus, by a ver low and ‘moderate “estimate, it costs the people $2,000 per hour while Congress is in session; and, therefore, every speech of- an hour's length costs $2,600. When a member gets phy Oppose a pea- sion for a poor widow, grauting the miseranie pit tance of fifty dollars a year, this member, ia order to gain with his constituents the name of being | man one of the “ watch dogs of the treasury,” speaks in opposition to the bill aboot half an hour, and thus expends ove thousend dollars while talkiog about fifty. At this rate it costs over five hundred dollars every time they take the yeas and nays on any we-tion, and at Jeast three hundred dollars when tl vote is taken by tellers. Nothwithstanding all this, the peovle’s business is neglected and teft‘un- attended to as a matter of the most uttter indifference. Now, what would one of these “watch dogs of the trea: say to an account brought in against the government for two years services rendered, when it was shown that the claimant had served but a lit- tle over nine mouths? What indignation woold not then swell the bosom of some robustious vindicator of the oear people, who would then be told of their rights and privileges in the rambunctious, uproari- ous language of offended dignity and pon wrong. while the gentieman from Quattiedom woul conclude by saying “ that as long as he held a seat here if there was one built, The Hsaarp hasa good circulation in this place. Obsequics of the late General Quitman, by the Scott Life Gaara. An adjourned meeting of this corps took place a few evenings since, at their headquarters. After ay | making arrangements for rendering public honors to the memory of their late commander, the following were the resolutions which they unanimous!y adopt- ed:— Wher, in obedience to an irreversible decree of pature, a character of worth and eminence descends to the grave, the duties that devolve upon his sur- viving associates are pomerous and im) nt. OF these duties, that is not the least and press- ing which calls for a suitable tribute to the memory ot the deceased, with a view to the uation of his virtues aud attainments, as honorable to himself and beget a to others. Therefore, Resolved, That the sad announcement—the mourn- {ul reality, that General John A. Quitman is no more—that the profound statesman, the devoted patriot, the gallant soldier, is now slumbering in the silence of the tomb, exacts from the “ Scott Life Guard” particalarly, a fulfilment of this sacred duty —an evidence of our admiration of the soldier, statesman and gentleman while living, and of the poignant sorrow we feel at his death. Resolved, That the “remembrance of worth, of value and of genius,” of scenes which touch and kindle the heart, by the many tender and pleasing associations they awaken, although they may, at times, excite a fervor of expression, a momentary swell of enthusiasm, totally fail, on this melancholy occasion, to inspire us with langage to ive utter- ance to the promptings of our hearts. hen sucha as Jobu A. Quitman is lost forever to us—when such a great, warm heart as he ceases to pulsate, we find it impossible to speak what we teel—to describe our own sense of the loss, or give others an kiea of its poignancy. We, who served with and under him during the last war with Mexico —we, who were his companions on the long and weary march, and his followers in the many sanguin- ary struggles of the campaign—we, who were per- sonal observers of his gallantry and other soldierly qualities, ever felt a just pride in ames him as @ commauder, and honored in knowing him as a companion. Thongh earth's received him in her bed, And o'er the spot the crowd may tread, In carelessness or mirth. And time may obliterate from the recollection of many bis illustrious name. We, who admired, hon- ored, loved him while living, will ever cherish the memory of the gallant commander and the soldier's true friend. Resolved, That as a mark of respect for the emi- ‘on the floor of Congress he would never submit to | pent and distinguished services of our late comrade such base frand and imposition, which amounted to pothing shorter than dowvright robbery of the na- tional treasury.’ Weil, it is very strange how some people will strain at a guat, and take down a camel as easy as a glam lager. The hackneyed way of doorkeeping at the first part of the last session did not suit nest views of the members, sotbey made a change for the bet- ter at once, and gail credit for it. Now, if diem ad of the length they will no denbt effect one of the measures with the people that the wirepuller can start ny th members who know they stand no ¢ re election will not be starting off home several weeks before the adjournment, andl thus leaving the House almost without a quorum to do business. They ill then be wade to take a deeper interest in the aMsirs | of the nation and those of the-beloved people, waile it will not-interfere.at a)! with their keeping an eye on their own pockets. «At the next gon, then, let the odious salary law be repealed, as well as the miléage system,and instead, allow the menbers to trave! free on all post road routes, This wil help the treasury considerably, and gain for the “watch dogs” great popularity. Our Stratford Cotrespondeave ~ Staatrory,:Conn., July 31, 1858. A Brief History of the Placé—New York Residents in Summer—A Few thems ‘About the Churches— Summer Enjoyments at @ Reasonable Cost, &c. This picturesque town is situated near the month 2 " of the Housatonic river;arid was laid out at right angles, in 1639, with the intention of founding a city. The founders unquestionably thought that the great water power in the Naugatack valley—which | Death has indeed clored since has been developed equal to that of the Saco in Maine—would ultimately make Stratford a great entrepit both via of the Sound and from the valley. Bat the tounders of this town soon found out totheir chagrin and disappointment that there was an im* mense sandbar which shot across the mouth of the Housatonic, which rendered navigation for vessels of | revolution, woul any considerable tonnage impracticable; and as the «colony was under British jurisdiction,amd embraced | her descendants, two sisters, who still bear t a religion inimical to the oftljodox Church of Eng- “gland, they could not ‘expett any improvement in the harbor through tlie Bfitish ‘government; and the raid government cared less bout, developing manu- factories in the colony, as it would be detrimental to her home interests. Sexpected fortanes and a large city “vanished isto thin * and the founders who had laid out she town, moved to the Pequoonnock, four miles west, atid laid out a town— now the city of Bridgeport.” Stratford, however, continued to increasé jn poptilation with wealthy settlers, who at that day held slaves, and farming was carried on extensively. The population of the town is now nearly three thousand, and is one of the wealthiest towns in the State.

We were boys toze- ther, (1 his senior but nine days.) reared on adjoin- ing glebes in the town of Rhinebeck, Datchess count We pursued together the elementary branches of an Eogtish education, and under the instruction of bis owa honvred and reverend father received lessons in the classics.

A sister at Albany and ho- bored name of Quitman, now in the State of Penn- sylvania, besides his widow and children in the sunny South, are all who survive of that noble Ger- man and West Indian stock; none of whom, by rearon of the great affliction now resting on them, and of that native modesty and dignity characteris tic of them all, will probably be present at the de- monstration of respect to his memory which the Life Guard propose to make. Under these cirenm- stances I have deemed it not improper to solicit some advisement of the proposed demonstratian in the city of New York, to the end that, if not inconsis- tent, I might attend with my sons or a fey other friends on bebalf of the afflicted family. 1 enclose to you, sir, a brief sketch from a loval press, of a spontaneous tribute of respect extended to Gen.

The steamship Huntsville, from New York, came up to the city a few minutes past four o'clock P.M. yesterday, and the firing of her gun was the signal for an immediate congregation of a large crowd on the wharf, all intent upon getting a sight of the famous gallant, De Reviere, who was reported to be on beard and in pursuit of his inamorata, Miss Blount. The ship was some time settling down into her berth, and it was not a little amusing to witness the evidences of curiosity that manifested them- selves in the anxiouscrowd. The air wasexcessively hot and close under the bluff, but this trifling incon- venience seemed not to impair, in the slightest de- gree, the interest of the assembled multitade in the neti of the occasion and certain events that awaited him. The steamer having neared the wharf, Sheriff Prendergast was the tirst to go aboard, followed by certaiu suspicions looking gentry, for all the world | 98 if they were charged with some of the delicate of- fices of the law. Upon consulting the list of passen- gers the name of De Riviere did not Ce ret bot the captain politely intormed the Sheriff that oue Lewis David corresponded in every particular with the gen- tleman who was the onject of his search. This Mr. David being pointed ont, the Sheriff gently took him aside, addressed him by his yd name, which he acknowledged, and informed him that he was his prisoner by virtue of two warrants issned at the in- stance of Colonel #.S. Blount—one to keep the peace towards the said Blount, and the other for the ab- duction of the daugbter of the informant from the State of Alabama, with the intention of defilement. ‘The law of Alabama makes this offence hy confinement in the penitentiary; and Col. Blount, we learn, can clearly make good the charge by proofs, now in his posse: , that our gallant Lntharlo was, at the date of the abduction, married to a lady in the State of NewYork. « The Zouave took the awkward circumstances that had so suddenly come upon him with much coolness and composure. He acknowledged the anthority of the Sheri!f, aud exoressed entire willingness to do his bidding. The stage having been ran aboard and se- cured to the ste nse crowd immediate- ly thronged the cabin of the vessel, until the air was almest suffocating. ‘The Zouave was quietly seated in the aft part of the saloon by the side of the Sherit?, abd earbestiy engaged in covversation with man familiar with his native lang the whele.a fine looking man, sq helobt, well ned (so far as while be was eyes, while bi unishable lark hair aod a} aspect is more German than French, Ap court plaster on his right cheek ked the wound recently received ina duel at Mo- bi He is evidently a travelled man, and has jearned to brave the up bill points in tbe journey of life, and to look with the eye of a phitosogher upon every fate.

Connell, Staley and Rus sell, were convened for a liminary examination of the matters charged in the warrents. Messrs. Bacon and Levy appeared for the State, and Joseph Gananl, Esq., for the prisoner. Some discussion occurred on the point of jurisdiction, but it being late, the further consideration of the case was postponed until today.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL MOWEY MARKET, SaTurpay, August 7—4 P. M. ‘The bids from New York for the new government loan closed this afternoon; the last deposits were made before 4 P. M. to-day at the office of the Sab Treasurer. The total amount deposited at thi« point was $185,000, from which it is perceived that the aggregate amount of the bids from New York was $15,400,000. This is nearly twice as mach as is wanted, and besides it is understood that some New York capitalists are interested in tenders to be mar at Washington. ‘We have to note rather more activity this morninz in the stock market, bnt much lower prices. There was no cause in particular for the fall: {t was pro- duced in the first place by the disappointment of parties who have been looking forward to an im provement, on the strength of the Central dividends: and secondly, by the abandonment of the efforte that had been made by others to inflate certain par ticular stocks. The board, seeing these parties not only relinquish their policy but aid the decline hy elling, was fora time seized with a sort of panic and everybody sold out everything at any price. The consequence was, for the time, a eneral fall of from 1 to 2 per cent in the speculative stocks on the list, the heaviest fall being in Central and Reading At the second board there was a moderate rally, and prices recovered j @ j from the lowest point of depression.
