Tho House proceeded to the consideration of the Senate Dill for the admission of the State of Westera Virginia Into the Union. 7 Mr. Comway, (rep.) of Kansas, bad no objéetion to'the admission of this State, on the ground of the character of the people, as they are thoroughly loyal, They are opposed to glavery, and would make a prosper- ous and peaceful State. He would be most happy to vote for admission, if the ,applica- ‘dom came im the proper and constitutional form. He wisked that a territerial government had been organized there at the commencomont of the rebellion.

ARREMTS IN DELAWARE. ‘The resolution offered by Mr, Saulsbury, relative to the erbitrary arrests of citizens of Delaware, was then taken ‘Up. Mr [larg said the Senator from Delaware (Mr. Bayard) Yesterday referred to “a*proper division of power as being ‘the ho ¢ of a free government,’ and he (Mr. Hale) was ‘BOs willing (o see the Senate undertake t» totertere with other doyartments. If apy citize. of Delaware had been ioved. the courts were still open. and he (Bir. Hale) lieved that the writ of habeas corpus was not dead yet. Mr. Sa rig ag of Del., asked if a case had not @ecurred :n bis (Mr. Hale's) own state where a. person ‘was ariestod, and the United States Marshal refused to @eliver the man on a writ of habe is corpus? Mr. Hae said he did not)so undorstand it. He acknow- Jedged that this was was in embarrassing question; but ‘thought it would be p-emature tor the Senate to inter- ferc. He move: to lay the resolution on the tabie. Mr. Barann, (opp.) of Vel., said there was bo such livision of the gov: he judiciary was always the weake: tary, no political power. The President bas asserted tke right to suspend the writ of habeas corpus, and he thought it proper for ‘tho Senate ¢» inquire into the matter. C (iep.) of N. H., said in the case referred to power in the hands of a few individuats appointed by the President was of a flagrant and unconstitutiona: cha- racter. The scheme was revolutionary one coat to be exposed to the reprobation of every loys! citizen. It would be an utter perversion of our system. * Tt would in offect concentrate all the power of the goverment in the hancs of the executive. He said, after further argument, that the seceded States were out of the Union. They were in the position of a foreign Power. We should hold them a8 common territory whencver and wherever our armies occupy them. Mr. Brown, (Union) of Va., replied, arguing that the erection of the State of Western Virginian was .perfectly lawful and constitutiona!. The provision 0: the constitu- tion with regard to the admission or erection of new States had been complied with. And in this connection he quoted as similar the preamble of the act admitting Kentucky, which was formed ‘rom part of Virginia. The Prezident had recognized the Wheeling government, and the portion of the proceeds of the sales of the public lands, which the old Stato had heretofore refused, bad boen paid to the new State. The precedents, he iusisted, supported the new State organization. He was surprised that the gentleman from Kansas recogtized the right of States to secede. It was not in the power of a State to ecede, and he (Mr. Brown) domed that any State wa> out of the Union, The President was right in the posi- tion he had taken and in his efforts to restore the Union and bring them back to their allegiance. Mr. Matnory, (Union) of Ky.. wished to know wheth the Legisiature which had givon assent to the division was not composed oniy uf these upon whom the new coa- stitution was to opertte. Mr. Brown replied that Fairfax aud Alexandria coun ties, which were not included within the limits of the new State, were represented.

Dr. Browne, the alleged abortiontst, who is charged with having caused the death’of the ‘ill-fated young Indy, was again brought up in oharge of Nicholas Maher, Kooper of the Tombs. During the examination the Loctor rested his hoad on the palm of his hand, and appeared to be intertly examining the pattern of the carpet covering the floor of the Judge's chamber. Tho witness (Simms) was attended by his brother, Charles H. Simms, as at the previous ex- amination. The Judge on several occasious was under the necessity of req: veating*him to speak in a louddr tone of voice for the purposs of giving the roporters an oppor- tunity to record his answors, Several times,during the ex- amination he appecred to realize very keenly the dis” graceful: pesiticn he had placed himself im. A large crowd bad aseenib ed to listen to the eximination, but Judye Mevunn very proerly erdered the room to be clear- ed of all who were not in some way connected with the slings.
