Our Special Washington Despatch. ‘Wasninoton, April 4, 1860. ‘THR CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN THE AMMRICAN, AND SPANTSIT AND FRENCH NAVAL OFFICKRS RELATIVE TO THE CAPTURE OF THE MEXICAN STKAMERS. ‘The following are the principal points in the corres- pordence between Captain Jarvis and the Spanish aud French commanders, together with the respective offi- eers, against the capture and sending to the United States ef the two Miramon vessels. Captain Jarvis’ answer to their letters and protests is very brief, as he considered the whole matter asin the hands of the government after the steamers wore sent to New Orleans, The letter of the commander of the Spanish brig pro- tests against the capture and sending of the steamers to ‘the United States, and says:— The dignity of the great Spanish nation, to which I glory in velonging, and the high honor of being here the supporter of iw untaruished renown, now impose on me the sacred duty of examining all the views contained in the communication referred to, sift them and make clear the dark and torinous course manifented in the act or- dered by you, and carried into effect by the sloop-of-war ‘Saratoga, in order that you may be accountable for it, and may be alone responsible, not only to the Spanish govern- ment and to those of the civilized world, but to thai of the certain, will not be long delayed. He then maintains, ina long rigmarole, thet the Mar- ques de Habana did not fire inio our steamers, or interfere with them in any manner, apd says:—‘'I shal! maxe thie etatement of the affair to my government, hat it may understand which veasel tirst fired a new mode established by the by under your command of rel your order to carry into effect an enverpfise which will be m- exorably condemned, cam be equalled only by that cre- lawless attempt to legaliee the capture of this ‘vensel, mediate delivery of which was required of you, These transactions are 80 public and notorious, And have taken place so immediately before the e7es of ‘the nations which are 80 worthily represented on choripg ground, that I shall find in them the most impar- ‘tal witnesses to attegt all the ex esses committed by you, ee a vindication of the law of seers e} ave already protested against cubreck by etioh you set it at defiance. ‘Without stopping to refute the argument in sopport of the legality of the unprecedented act which you find im the contradiction between the ship’s papers ‘and the number of the crew and the proofs, more or less, sufficient of her having abe tee pega and small arms, I shal) content myself with rel 1g to you that even if she had brought articles contraband of war on tho Mexican Verve. "On tho other hand, from,tkie place the Amoct can merchant vesee) eur is ae perce ing arms, troops and military su which paes Delors your watenvel and vaatyopse, ae 80° far it has never occurred to you to pete slightest im- pediment in her way. For these reasons, which throw u| You the terrible responsibility of the ‘act which you have committed, 1 conclude, with all the is at my 5 cal of Marques de Habana and her being sent with pri to the ports of the United States. Im the meantime, reporting the matter to my govern- ment, which in its enlbghtened judgment will adopt such measures as it may deem most expedient to wipe off the insult which you may have offered it, and for which you ‘will have to repent. VICTORIO SAURES. Capt. Jarvis replies to this protest as follows:— I shall not attempt to quote the law of nations to justify wy acts, as the tribunals of my country will shortly de- cide upon them. ‘The commander of the Spanish brig writes to Captain Jarvis, and desires to be informed if she bore the Spanish flag when captured, and whether there were found on board documents that accredited this nationality, to wit: the rolls and patent issued by Spanish authorities; be- cauge in this case they must have been despatched by a functionary of her Catholic Majesty. Capt. Jarvis replied, that ‘upon examjnation of the pa- pers referred to, there was great discrepancy between them and what is actually the case. Her papers stated that she bad no guns, and the crew and passengers in all were but thirty-five, whereas § have received from her sixty-three. She also had cannon and small arms.”” ‘The Spanish o mmandant writes again to Captain Tur- ner, again protesting against the departare of the vessel te the United States. ‘The commander of the French squadron, C. A. Boyer, addresses a letter to Com. Jarvis, in which he says:— “During the night of the 6th two steamers, whose nation- ality Iam not acquainted with, were anchored st Anton ‘Lizardo, @ roadstead within the jurisdiction of the Mexi can republic. For reasons of which Iam ignorant you directed an expedition to seize the strange steamers, which object was effected. An act of this nature may cause great prejudice to French commerce by stopping its vessels, for it may be apprehensive of not finding a sufficient protec tion against the aggressions of American vessels. In this affair the Mexican authorities alone had the right if necessary to detain within its territorial jarisdiction the two vessels in question. I owe it, therefore, to my duty and to my dignity, to protest against an act which I con- sider illegal, which’ violates the rights of neutrals, and which I shall hasten toconvey to the knowledge of the Emperor of the French.”* Commander Jarvis replied to this by expressing his deep regret that the French commander deemed it his duty to address such a letter, so far transcending the bounds of courtesy. ‘THE ADMISSION OF KANSAS INTO THE UNION. ‘The admission of Kansas into the Union is the next question entitled to consideration in the House, and the disposition of the democracy, and some of the republi- cans, is not to debate the subject in that body. Itis agserted that one reagon of this desire is to get the ques- tion into the Senate, where the Presidential candidates swarm, to put them on the record. Mr. Douglas seems to be the principal target at which this action is aimed. He declares he shal] vote to admit Kansas into'the Union, ‘wpon the application of her people, under the Wyandot eonstitation. Some of the Southern democracy think if ‘they can get him to make his record thus, that it will be ‘® weapon in their bands against him at Charleston, inas- much as it will be a violation of the law of the English ‘bil, upon which they will take their stand. 4 PAMPRLRT ON THE PRINTING QUESTION. Mr. Cornelius Wendell, finding he cannot be elected Printer of either Honse of Congress, issnes » phamplet, and puts ® copy in possession of each Congréssman, as- serting that the present system, of which he has been ‘the principal operator and beneficiary for years, does not appear to have met the expectations of its friends. He says, “It is alleged, with what degree of truth others ‘are as well informed as myself, that political partisans arc elected public Printers, who intend only to sell out to some practical workman and pocket the proceeds, ren- dering no service whatever therefor. -It is also alleged that the present system is corrupting in ita tendencies.” ‘This sudden virtue of Mr. Wendell ia the result of two things—first, he knows better than any one else that The present House Printer did not get elected Printer at Jeaat to sell out to Mr. Wendell; and second, that by ad- ‘yocating ® government printing establishment he will stand some chance of selling the large printing estate ‘new carried on by Larcombe & English. THE REPORT ON THE PRESIDENT’S PROTEST MESSAGE. Mr. Hickman will endeavor to report from the Commit- tee on the Judiciary on Saturday, relative to the Preei- dent’s protesting meseage. A minority report will also be made. Nearly all thé South Americans will speak and ‘vote to sustain the majority report, in favor of the right of the House to exercise its own judgment in prosecuting imvestigations, of any and all departments of the govern- ‘ment, without dictation from any quarter. Messrs. Nel- son, Davia, Stokes, Harris, Etheridge and Hatton are said to be prepared with speeches. Mr. Nelson will discuss the legal points, and Mr. Davis will present the constita- tional history of the question. ‘THE CHARGES AGAINST THE ADMISTRATION. ‘The Covode Investigating Commitzee will soon take up the whole question of the alleged political corruptions in Pennsylvania in 1860, and the following Pennsytvania wit- nesses will be called to testify James ©. Van Dyke, ex-District Attorney; J. Leach, floating politician; John Hancock, another floater; John M. Zeigler, supposed to know about the famous netaralization papers of Penn- gplvania; and Gideon G. Westoott, late Postmaster of Philadelphia and Secretary of the State Central Committee of Pennsylvania in 1866. It is said the latter holds pos- session of a very important letter on naturalization, writ- ten by s very distinguished statesman, which will appear im evidence. Covode’s Committee again liad Collector Schell and Mr. Butterworth before them to-day. As Mr.Schell’s examina- tion yesterday was principally confined to private con- versations he had had with different gentlemen in Wash- fmgton, to-day the committee continued the inquiries, and desired to know whether his answer, declining to pre- duce the list of subscribers of the New York Hotel ot - 286 was prepared by the United States Attorney Goaors 1 by the President, or any members2" ino Cabiact, an: ‘hey Wore answered that neither » £2939 Ai3tingaishet rentiomen,,.+:.. 42441:04,a9T aay member Oo: the Bominwiration |, -4) ‘- 4u%a3t 49 aa) Coayersed NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, APRIL 5, 1860.—TRIPLE SHEET. with any member of Congress in relation to it? Having anewersed im the affirmative, they requested his name, which was refused. The Inquisition of ihe Commities render it dangerous to have conversations with pereons, ‘a8 the committee claim to have private conversations of every kind given in evidence without reference to its con- nection with the matter before them. It is said the com- mittee iitend to submit these tmportant questions arising ip Mr. Schell’s testimony to the House for its solemn con- sideration. He will probably be brought before tbat body to-morrow or nextday. Mr. Butterworth was then ex- amined, and was asked whether he had bad any conver- gation with the President or members of his Cabinet in Tegard to the questions he should answer before the Co- vode Committee? He replied that he had not, The com- mittee informed him that they had decided to file his let- ters to Mr. Haskin during the Lecompton question, and therefore desired the letters in his posseasion from Haskin to be filed, which was accordingly done, The whole cor- respondence will be read in committee to-morrow. It is decidedly unique. ‘THE PACIFIC RAILROAD. The House Select Committee have agreed to reporta Pacific Railroad hill on the following plan of location, as proposed by Colonel Cartis, namely: Starting from two points—one on the western border .of Missouri, and the other on the western border of Iowa, with two converg- ing lines bearing westward and uniting within two hun. dred miles of the Missouri river; thence proceeding by a single trunk line, by the nearest and best route, wo the Bay ot San Francigco or to the navigable waters of the Sacramenv. % THE PROCEEDING OF CONGRESS. THIRTY-SIXTH CONGRESS. VIRST SESSION. Senate. ‘ ‘Wasmrvcrox, April 4, 1860. ‘The Cuam laid before the Senate the correspondence be- tween the Attorney General and Judges of Utah relative to the judicial proceedings of that Territory. Laid on the table. Mr. Taoxrson, (dem.) of N. J., presented the resolu tions of the New Jersey Legislature in favor of an increase of the duty on imperted goods, and in favor of the House Homestead bitl. Mr. Kia, (rep.) of N. Y¥., introduced a bili for the re- Hef of the representatives of Robert H. Morria, late Post- master of New York. Passed. ‘THE CASE OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE TREASURY. | Mr. Grern, (dem.) of Mo., moved that the resolutions offered by him yesterday censuring the Comptroller of the ‘Treasury for adecision defeating the expressed will of Congress, and for refusing to obey its order, thereby in- curring the disapprobation of Congress, which renders it improper that he longer remain in office, be referred to a committee. He said such a thing had never been refused, whatever it might contain, whether right or wrong. Mr. SavissuRy, (dem.) of Del., moved to refer it to the Post Office Committee. I believe it is # reflection upon a meritorious officer, who has only done his duty—done that which the Attorney General of the United States bas said he ought to do. I do not like to vote for the reference of the resolution if that implie censure upon the officer, Still, I make that motion, Mr. Yutxg, (dem.) of Fla., hoped the Senator would subatitate the mittee on th eJudiciary. If it poenen standing committee at all it properly belongs to the Judi- Ciary Committee, as the subject of the resolution is the construction of a law.

If it were not for the very great respect 1 have for the Senator from Missouri, I Remind merge een ea of the case, or until the 5th of next. I won't do that; as this claim was raised Fence. Mr. Grexx—The Senator does not state the case correct- Jaw stating that, the contract having been made and abro- gated, the First Comptroller should assess the damages. ‘Therefore, thé making of the contract and iis abrogation ure facts confirmed by Congress. Whether any damages have accrued or not I do not know. I do not know whether there is one hundred or nue thousand dollars of damages due, That is a question with which I hive nothing todo. The Comptroller says there was no con- tract and no abrogation, and as the Senator chooees to bring up this question improperly I must repel what he says. Mr. Pucu—This resolution was offered yoster- day. Day before yesterday Governor Medill re- turned to Ohio on account of illness. He is a gentlemen of high character, and I suggest to the Senator to let the resolutions lay over, #0 that I can make some inquires. I assure him Governor Medill will meet any investigation, anywhere and before any committee. There ‘will not be found a stain upon his character. Mr. Grexn—I will reply to the Senator. ¥r. Pucu—If the Senator will let it go over I will call it up at apy time. Mr. Grexn—He was not away when the resolutions were offered. I know what] say, and no man can contra- dict it. Before he left a copy of these resolutions was sent to him and he read them. J know what I say, and no Man can contradict—that no person is taken by surprise. This bas been a straightforward, fair ‘dealla process: from the beginning up to the present time. jen this resolution was prepared, and I put it in the shape I thought least objectionable, a copy was sent and delivered to him, and before he left it was introduced into this Senate, and he ‘ofp korea / evening, as I am informed. Mr, Bayaxp, (dem.) of Del—My impression is just the contrary. He left at six o’clock in the morning. Mr. Gregy—I know what I say. He knew all about it.

DEBATE ON THE HOMESTEAD BILL. Mr. Pucn proceeded to contrast the Senate and House bill. “He believed the operation of the bill should be bmited 10 heads of families, otberwise sham pre emption would Jead to ged ‘and corruption. A man’s family would bind him t6 the soil for its improvement, and thus there should be a diserimination between the married and unmarried man. The Senate bill was a wise mea- sure fer revenue and economy. It gave sixty millions of acres for homesteads, which was enough for all in the United States a Se there. read humerous acts showing that Congress had, time after time, donated the public lands to towns, mail routes apd States, and in view of all this it was said the Homestead bill proposea some great revolution in the land syatem, to destroy the public revenue, when the fact was it was but the same principle that had been guiding the system relative to the public demain since the earliest days of the republic. The policy of the general government in its donations of ands bad acted unjustly toward new States. The first excuse was that the sale of the lands was to liquidate the cevt; but when that was paid a second and third arose. Be did not believe that the passage of the bill would in- jure the revenve, for under the graduation act the price cecreased from’ time to time, and the Homestead bill weuld bring other lands into market. The Secretary of the Interior bad said in his report that all the leads failed #8 @ source of federal revenue except thoge subject to pri- vate entry. The biil would improve the sources for re venue. He thought it time to cease donating jands for the benedt of colleges, echools, asylums and railroad corpo- rutiops, unless they were located onthe lands, The Sena tor from Texas (Mr. Wigfal)) had dencminated this a party question, but thie was rather late in the day, iaas- much as a Homestead bili passed the same House that parseo the Kansas Nebraska act Mr. Wicratt, (dem.) of Texas, disclaimed wishing to make ita party test. je proceeded at length, and said dovations of alternate sections would prevent the sale of the public lands. The passage of the bill would be the abandoment of the revenue and also an expense to the goverpment, and it would be better to give one hundred snd sixty dollars out of the Treasury to the homeless than to donate land and go to the expense of establishing land offices to survey it. His Railroad bill was for the practice! purpose of tranemitting naval and military stores; the Homestead bill was for paupers. It yular to talk of the poor. Poverty, he said, wasa crime.

The dill provides for the purilews of London, the Five Points of New York, and criminals whe violate the law when they go! on thelands.

PRO OF NATURALIZED CITENS ABROAD. Mr. Sumyzer, (rep ) of Mass. , offered a resolution, which was adopted, that the President be requested, if in his opinion it is not inconsistent with the public interest, to turpisn to the Senate copies of all correspondence not heretofore called for relating to tbe claim of a foreign government to the military service of naturalized Ameri- can citizens. ‘Adjourned. Howse of Representatives. ‘Wasmatox, April 4, 1860. Mr. WasHBuRN, (rep.) of Ill., gave notice of a bill to erect a custom house and post office at Waukegan. TROOPS FOR THE TEXAN FRONTIER. Mr. Stanton, (rep.) of Ohio, frog the Military Com- mittee, reported back the West Point Appropriation bil with # recommendation by a bare majority of the committee that the House now concur in the Senate amendment providing for calling into service a regiment of Texas volunteers. Mr. Curtis, (rep.) of lowa, as a member of the Commit- tee, said he would have voted in favor of the amendment if the President and Secretary of Warin their communi- cation In response to acall of the House had eaid they thought this additional force necessary, but they both studiously avoided an expression of opinion on the subject. Mr. Stanton, (rep.) of Obio, moved that the subject be made the special order for Taesday. Mr. ReaGan, ere ) of Texas, eaid early action should be taken in order that the people of Texas may know whether. they may have bope for protection. Mr. Srermax, (rep.) of Obio, remarked that this amendment propored an appropriation of one million of jollars. It were better that the bill should be defeated and the new one introduced rather than that the Senate should load # down with irfelevant amendments and make {t a special order. . The House by seven majority refused to make it the special order for Tuesday. ‘TIE SUPPRESSION OF POLYGAMY IN UTAH. ‘The House then resumed the consideration of the Anu- Polygamy bill. Mr. Kxrrt, (dem.) of 8. C., characterized polygamy as a grave and high offence, but denied that Congress had wer in the premises. It was not a crime against the Injted States. Congress cannot legislate wisely and pro- perly for the Territories. He raid that if the federal go- vernment had any power whatever in the matter, as as- serted by gentlemen, it had torial government protection of pi a ty, and if the Territorial government fatled to do this. then the federa) government could alter the Legislature of that Territory, and put another there which would pass euch laws. Mr. Goocn, (rep ) of Mass., offered an amendment, not Giffering in general principles, but in the details, from the Dill under consideration. He designed to limit ite opera- tion to Utah. This government has the power, and it was its duty, not only to declare polygamy a crime, but to provide punishment therefor. Mr. Barxena.x, (dem.) of Miss., asked the gentleman whether, under the same power to prohibit polygamy, he would pot draw the power to exclade slavery. S» far as he was concerned, he saw a vast difference between pro sere crime and exc'uding property from the [errito- ries. hat was the gentleman's opinion? Mr. Goocu replied, that he and those with whom be as- sociated were not responsible for the introduction of slavery in this discussion. The gentleman is from a slave bolding community, from the same State as his (Mr. Barksdale’s) colleague, (Mr. Lamer,) who yeeterday Drought slavery into the consideration of this question. The gentleman from New York (Mr. lin) alluded to it only in response to an interrogatory. On the republican side the institution of slavery bad not been drawn into the discussion. tg Baaxspate—Then you decline to answer the ques- Mr. Goocn replied that he believed, under the conetitu- tion, Copgreas has the power to prohibit slevery in the ‘Territor! ‘When this question comes before the House, be would tell the gentleman whence he derived the pow: er.

Mr. Gooch replied that Bow had one of the relics of barbarism here, and it was thelr duty to sup) ft. He believed Congress has fatt power over all rightful subjects ot legislation in the Territories, subject onty to the conatitution. Mr. Lemar ed believe Congress possesses f0ve- reign power in the itoriea? Mr. Goocn replied tbat be believed Congress has full er, witb tbe limitation named.

He proceede 1 to advocate the bill on the ground that polygamy is a violation of individual rights—a viola- ion of all the rights of the people in well organized Ter- ritories. Slaves, he argued, in reply to what had been previously said jn the debate, were recognized as pro- perty, and aseuch the holders of slaves were entitled to protection. He then proceeded to speak of the violations of law by the Mormons, and of their pn instigated the Tein to the commission of crimes, and made treaties with them, Mr. Hoovsr, the delegate from Utah, said some of these charges emanated from a most infamous aource, Judge Drvmmond, who took to Utah a female, not his wife, and placed her beside him on the bench. It was on such re- Presentations that the government had sent the army against the peaceavie citizens of the Territory. Mr. McCLERNaNp, (dem.) of Ill., wisned to know on what authority Mr. Hooper said Judge Vrammond appear- ed on the judicial bench with a courtezan? Mr. Hoorer—From the knowledge of sight-seeing. Isaw it myrelf. (Laugbter.) Mr. Sims wished to know whether or not it was true that the Mormons declared war against the United States, whether they do not acknowledge the church as the only supreme power, and whether they have not @ peculiar coin of their own, &c. He cansed to be read a letter from Camp Floyd, attributing certain violations of law to the jormons. Mr. Hoorgn remarked that some things therein he knew to be false. The Mormons are fallible, but when he beard wholesale charges agdinet them and their being apoken of contemptuously ft made bie blood course rapid- jy ja bis veins. He scouted the fs!se charges and imputa- tions heaped on his people. At some other-time he would digcuss these matters iully, The coining of money was among the other crimes attributed tothem. Thie he ex. plained by saying that after the Mormon battalion were discharged after tho war, some went into Col. Suter’s employment, and while digging a race for the con- struction of a mill, they made first gold dis- covery. On returning t> Utsh they took their dust with them, and baving constructed a rude mint, put it intocoin, It was pure, and answered for circulat- ing purposes, in the absence of the coin o! the United States, and was subject to whatever standard the govern- mens might prescribe. They had a right to change the for their treasure. us gaid he could appreciate the feelings of the gentlemen, and be had spoken of polygamy as a crime ‘against the common law. Mr. Ngisox, (S opp.) of Tenn., moved the previous question, which occasioned not a litte coafusion, 98 some | gentlemen derigned to debate the eubject. Mr. Logan, (dem.) of Til, amid the noise, charged that the floor hai been farmed out w certain gentiemen by ccptract with the Speaker. ‘The republicans vigorously called him to order. Sen moain question was ordered to be put—114 against Mr Newson, having reported this bill, was aliowed an dour to close the debate. He commenced by speaking of the gecond section of the bill, which proposes to repeal the act of the Territorial [»gisiature incorporating the Church of the r Day Saints. It was the moet extra- ordipary ever enacted on this continent. Ii was a dan. gerous corporation, whose power was contrary to the irit of our institutions. The Mormon church exercises the powers of government. Romo, in ite palmiest days, had not conferred on it such powers as are found in thie corporation. Besides, it was violative of the con- stitution of the United States, and therefore it was the duty of Congress to repeal it’ Murder, rapineand other crimes were perpetrated by authority of that go called church.

Outwater vs, The Mor, de., of New Yord.—Tois gone of reveral osses in which judgment has gone a aigt the city by default, and lastterm W. C. Noyes argued a motio, for reopesing fad a new trial on bebalf of Mr. Haws, the Comptrou- er, Richard Burteed, E:q., ©. ©., appearing on the other Fide. ‘tLe Judye, ‘n his opinicn in the first case, eays:— It is objected to this motion, thatthe 6th rec. of tte >t of 1669, page 1,127, under which it is made, w uncon- stitutions), ‘the Consiitation deciares, art. 3 eec. 16, that no private or cea! bili which may be pasted by the Le- gelature, shall contain more than one subject, and that aball be expressed in the title. Tho title of the act in question is “an act to autho: ze the Supervisors of the city avd county of New Yors to raise money by tax. The firet ard second sections a att orize the Supervisors to raise a specitc rum by tax to be applied to certain objects and pUrpores which are named ip the act. The third section wurhorizes ibem to direct the Comptroller to issue revenne voudé to an amount suilicient wo pay any judgment obtwined against the city, other than those mentioued aaa proviced for in the second section, and to satisfy clatcas of members of the police force for back pay or arcear ages of ealary,and to raise by tax the next succeeding Year, Wat 1s in 1860, a sum Sufficient for tue redemption of the above mentioned bons, with interest; and the fifth Eectiop, the one in question, authorizes the Comptroller to ke the proper and necessary means to opea and re yerse the judgments agaimet the jcity, which he shalt have reatons vw believe were obtained by collusion ant fraud, and for that purpoge to use the name of toe defencsnts and 10 employ counsel. I think toa fifth sec tion comes ciearly within the subject of the act, as repre fented in its title, The amount of the revenue bonds, aud the amount of the tax to be raised for the redemption, Will depend upon the amopnt of the judgments to be paia; and if any of theee judgments should be reversed, and qudgmert given for ibe city, or if any of them should be Teduced in amount through the step which the Comp: toller bas taken by this motion, the amount for which reyenue bonds are to iesue on it, and the amountto be raiged by tax in 1860 for their redemption will be proportionally less in the end, A provision, therefore, ia anjact authorizing the Supervisors to raise money vy tax which contemplates the possible reduction of the amount to meet whiob the tax is to be im , 16 as much @ part of the subject of the act intended by the title as any other part of it. If the act had named the sum which was to be raised to meet the claims of the police force and toe judgment referred to, there might be some doubt; but as it is left to the Supervisors to ascertain the amount for which it will be necessary to issue reve nue bonds, as usual as the amount necessary for their redemption and as the obiigations for which provi- tion is to be made, may be reduced through the means which the Comptroller by this section is authorized to take, it is very clear to my mind that this provision ap- pertains to and forms @ part of the whole subject of the act. An affidavit of the Comptroller that he has reason to believe that the judgments were obtained by col- Jusion and fraud, is‘ not of itself sufficient to enable bim to bave the judgment opened or reversed. His belief in that respect, shown to the Court, is insafft. cient Jo enable him, ia the language of the act, to take all proper and necetsary steps wo have them opened or reversed, but it resis in the sound discretion of the Court ‘whether the sgplication will be granted er not. The judgment in the case was for damages arising from the setilement and cracking of the plainti!’s build ings; the referee finding that the foundations were weak- ened by water flowing tnto the cellars of the builtings from one of the city sewers, the mouth of the sewer being fo situated. The case, which was eminently ove to be tried by a jury, was referred. by the written consent of the Counsel to the Corporation, to a single refero®. The only witness who testified that the building rettled apd cracked in consequence of the water flowing into the cellar from the sewer, was the plaintiff him- telf. A builder was called to prove the — whose testimony is contained in four lines: ‘‘that he haa ex- amined the buildings, and that it would cost all of five thousand dollars to put them in the same condition, or nearly a8 may be, as they were before tho water camo in.’’ “The Counsel to the Corporation was not present at the bearing before the referee, but one of his assistants acted in his stead. No witnesses were called on bebalf of the city, No examination of the buildings on the part of the city, either a3 to the cause of the injuries or a8 to the extent of the injury, or as to the extent of the damage, appears to have been made, &c. 1 t ke it from the diligence shown in preparing affiday ite to remit the motion that if it had been, the fact would hb. ve deen shown. The builder was not asked by the assien nt of thea ot he expense of tty te ull ing of the damage an ‘be ex rani i in the game condition as belore,, oF how the amount $6,000 was ascertained; whether it was a mere gen: 1a) guess or founded upon a positive and accurate estims'e, such as might be presumed he would carefully make u about to make @ contract to restore the buildings, so far as. poasble, to their former condition; and upon this loose general testimony of the builder, and the teatimony of the plaintiff as as to the cause of action, the case was submitted on the part of the referee, ‘who gave judgment for the whole amount claimed in the compiaint—tbat is, for $5,000. The Comptroller swears that be knows thai he will be able to prove, if a new trial ie granted, that houses were built as cheap ag tenement houses upon soil recently filled in from the borders of the East river, and were liabie to settle and crack. Toat other ‘buildings in the same neighborhood have also setiled, and the wails cracked, owing principally to the character of the newly made soil upon which they were erect- fact—certain! ed; and this ly & very important one—is neither contradicted nor questioned in the affidavit made in behalf of the plain- tiff. The Comptroller further shows that he knows he will be able to prove that the damages sustained by the plain. tiff in réference to the building aid not exoced $500. That he bas caused them to be examined by competent builders to ascertain the amount of the actual dameges sustained by the plaintiff, and will be enabled to show that the prin. cipal damage was done to the rear walls; that no other damage of any importance was done to the pro. perty ; that the whole damage does not exceed the sum bo- fore mentioned ; that such builders offer to build the entire rear wall for the sum of $1,000,and completely restore the plaintif!’s property to its former condition. The plain- tiff ewears that he met the persons sent by the Comptroll- er; that they only examined the outaide of the waiis and did not go through them or examine the side walls, and that he d to show them other damages or injuries, which they declined to examine—that the damagos are not confined to the rear walls, but that all the walls of all the houses are injured. has also submitted the aflidavits of four builders, who swear that they have examined the buildings, and that it will coat $5,000 to repair the damage dono to them by the overflow of the sewer ; but this testimony is of the fame general character as that of the builders who testified on the trial. It did mot 80 appear that any one of them made any attempts to get at the actual cost or expenee, nor do they show here they reaca a sum ex pregsed jn round numbers at $5,000. ¢ plaintiff and his attorney also swear thatthe judgment was not obtained by collusion and fraud, but wasfairly recovered. I think upon the fects nere presented, that we are called upon to open the jndgment and order a new trial. The discretion ‘with which courts are clothed to order new trials is very well expressed by Graham, after a full review of the au- thorities. “Error,” he says, “is the strict right of the par- ing upon the legal correctness of the Court, but motions to avoid verdicts take a wider rangs, for the ‘most part addressed to the discretion of the Judge, upon the equity and conscience of the case. (Graham on New Trias 1 BA.,p.7.) In view of tho facts submitted on the part of the Comptroller, and of the manner in which the cause was defended, I think we are called upon to ieee for the protection of the interest of the city, and I shall therefore direct that the judgment be set aside and a new trial ordered. Charles Brush vs. The Mayor, dc.—Tho queations of law involved in this motion baye been decided in the case of Outwater vs. the Mayor, and the same decision is made upon this motion. The documentary ev- idence existing in the Comptroiler’s office is of such a character as to render it necessary that we should know at least the nature of the evidence before the Referee upon which the judgment was founded. It does not that any person represented the City Counsel upon the trial before tae Referee. The Referee’s report is that he heard proofs as to the facts, and he finds that the ma- terial allegations in the complaint are true. Under these circumatances I think that it is our duty to set aside opines and direct a new trial. ohn Kelly vs. The Mayor, dic.—The queations of law involved in this motion have been decided in the case of Outwater against the Mayor, and the same de- cision is rendered upon this motion.’ The judgment was for $407 for work done in cleaning certain streets of the city under a contract with the Corporation. The plaintiff, not fulfilling his contract, complaint was made to the late Comptroller, and @ reduction of ten per cent was accord. ingly made from the payment to be made, the streets be- jpg thoroughly cleaned at the expense of the piain- uf, which expense exceeded the amount which the laintifT was authorized to claim under the contract. The cause was referred to a referee, who found that tbe plaintiff cleaned the streets to the acceptance of th jants up to February 7, 1855, when he ceased to pe e work at the request of the defendants $317 Alben being due to him, which, with interest, amounted to $418, for which the referee gave jadgment. It does not appear whether the defence stated in the Comptrol- ler’s affidavit was interposed at the trial. It that @ request was made by the Comptroller for a of the evidence taken before him, which was not com; with. It is veay material to know if the defence was set up, or if it was not, why not, as it constituted a complete defence to the action. AS we are fornished with no information upon this point, the proper course wil! ‘be to set aside the judgment and order a new trial. Walliam Joyce vs. the Mayor et als.—The action in this case was for damage in consequence of the defendant having Jet a contract for the filling in of certain sunken lote to one McKipnity, when the was the lowest bidder for It. It is averred in the complaint that the Common Council directed the nn gd to advertise for bids for filling in the lots. ing to law—that he did so ad’ the plaintiff was the lowest bidder; that he ‘the con! but the ta Z i it sik if geg & 4m the exercise of a sound discretion, should judgment ond order a pew trial.

SMALL REBELLION IN MASSACHUSETTS. Arrest of Frank Bs Sanborn, One of the John Brownites. Terrible Exetement in the Village—One Vil. lager Falls Dead—The Bells Rung—Sam- bern Reseued by a Nob, and Discharge ed on a Writ of Habeas Corpus. ACTION OF THE MASSACHUSETTS LEGISLATURE, ke, &e., ke. Boston, April 4, 1860. F. B. Sanborn was arrested at Concord by United States officers last night, under a requisition from the Senate committes, Judge Hoar, of the Supreme Court, had issued a writ of babeas corpus, and the bearing is now Progressing in this city. Watson Freeman, Jr., deputy United States Marshal, and Silas Carleton, Deputy Sergeant-at-Arms of the United States Senate, called at Ssnborn’s residence at nine o'clock Jast night. Sanborn refused to acoompany them, when be was handcuffed and taken to a carriage at the door, during which he struggled violently, and the mem- bersof his family cried “Marder,” “Fire,” &. ‘The excitement spread, and the town bells wore rang, collecting @ large crowd. Rufus Hosmer, a citizen, died suddenly, {t ie supposed, from the excitement the affair oc” casioned him, Sanborn was forcibly taken from the offl- cers by the crowd, and kept out of their power untila writ of habeas corpus could be obtained. * It is said the writ has been prepared for some time, in anticipation of the arrest. Deputy Sheriff Jobn B. Moore served the writ of habeas corpus, aad arrested Sanborn, which ended the mission of the United States Marshal's posse for the time being. The following is the writ of habeas corpus:~ ComMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUKETTS— To Tax Suerirrs of vk Countms, &e.—We command you that the body of Frank B. Sanborn, of Concord, ia tie county of Middjesex, by Silas Carleton imprisomed and restrained of his liberty, as is said, you take and have defore a Justice of our Supreme Judicial Court at Boson, in the county of jputlolk, immediately after the receipt of this wri:, to ao and receive what our said = Justice = shall then and there consider concerning him in this behalf. and summon the said Silas Carleton then and there to appear before our said Justice to show the cause of the taking and detaining of the said Frapk B. Sanborn, and have you then this writ with the doinge thereon. Dated April 3, 1860, and signed by Ebenezer Rockwood Hoar, Associate Justice of the Supreme Judicial Court. John §. Keyes, John A. Andrews and Samuel E. Sewell are counsel for Sanborn, and United States Dis- trict Attorney C. L. Woodbury and Milton Andros for the United States. The hearing is before the full bench, consisting of Shaw, Metcalf, Bigelow, Merrick and Hoar. At the bearing of the habeas corpus writ Sanborn’s counse) presented the following points :-— Firet—That the Sergeant-at Arms of the Senate of the United States has no power out of the District of Colam- bia, which is exclusively under the jurisdiction of Oon- grees. Second—That the precept for arrest being directed to the Sergeant-at-Arms by name, he alone cau serve it. ‘Third—That the Sergeant at Arma cannot deputise his power to others out of the [istrict of Columbia, After hearing the arguments of the counsel, Chief Justice Shaw briefly reviewed the circumstances of the case, stating that it presented no conflict of autho- rity between the Executive of the United States and the executive oflicers of this Commonwealth. Asto the first point taken, the Court were not prepared to say that the Senate could not have its precepts served outside of the District of Columbia. On the third point, that the Bergeant-at-Arms could not depute his authority to am- cther person, there was no doubt, and all the Court were agreed that he had no such acthority. A warrant of this sort must be limited tothe person to whom it was given by the Senate. ‘The order of the Court was, that Sanborn be dis- charged. The rendition of the decision called forth de- monstrations of applause, which were speedily checked. ‘The court room was thronged. Sanborn left with his friends for home. Mr. Sanborn makes the following additional statemen in regard to the arrest:— Tat first offered no resistance, but when the haodeufs were put on I refused w go, not having heard any war- rant or seen any Si }, Or been told the names of the officers or the nature of my offence, #0 tar as I can recollect. When they dragged me into the open air with- out allowing me to put on my boots, overcoat or hat,I calied muraer and resisted with my feet as well as I could; with four stout men holding me they dragged 10 the carriage, which had been brought up by @ fifth sixth confederate, and attempted to put me in, I the side of the carriage with my feet, and izing one of the ruftians, they dropped me on my feet again. Again they tried to put me in, but whipped the horses, which started and folled . ‘They were still struggling with me and her—five men against ope man and a womro—when the neighbors came running to my aid. The ruflians still attempted to kidnap me, but they #oon found they were overpowered; then, and not until then, did they read their warrant in the street, by the light of the lantern, while I stood band- cuffed and halfciothed in their hands. This must haye Deen fifteen minutes after my first seizure. PROCEEDINGS OF THE MASSACHUSETTS LEGISLATURE. ‘The subject of the arrest of Sanborn was introduced before the Legislature in the form of resolutions to em- ploy the State Attorney General for the defence. The resolutions’ were briefly debated and laid on the table. The House by unantmous suspension of the rules re- ceived the following memorial, which was read:— ‘The memorial of ¥. B. Sanborn, of Concord, a free white citizen of this Commonwealth, respectfully sheweth that about the hour of pin+ o’clock on the night of April 3, your memorialist was forcibly eeized and handcufled in his own home, in Concord, by @ body of men, who refu:ed to give their names, or read their warrant, if any they had, but dragged your memorialist into the street, and attempted to force him into a carriage, evidently for the purpose of a him out of the said Concord; none of the men af Deing citizens of Concord, so far as your memoriatist can learn; but he believes them to be residents of Boston; their names, as finally given by themselves some time after the events just related, Silas Carlton, Coolidge Tarlton, Freeman and 5 - more, fwould represent that your memorisiiet ae writ of habeas being served on the said Carlson by Deputy Sheriff Moore, of Concord, im your county of Middlesex, said writ being ed by ‘and bearing the signature of the Hon.

After reading the above memorial, a resolution to in- struct the Attorney General of the State to act as counsel” for Mr. Sanborn was taken from the table, 142 to 70, and debated at length. The resolution was passed at the third reading, and was then tabled. The result in the Court being known, Tarlton and other officers engaged in Sanborn’s seizure were arrested on warrants from the Police Justice of Concord, and released on personal recognizance, to appear there on Friday for hearing.
