In assigning errors he had not means to print the record, and, by rule of court enforced in Cumberland county, his counsel could not take record out for any purpose, He was, there- fore, obliged to resort to the printed paimpiiet which had been printed for general circulation and which did not contain evidence as fully ag it slouid Lave done. Threugh this he could not explain the errors he specially complains of aud which he is satisfied ‘was not and could not be understood by the Supreme Court without an oral or printed explanation, As your petitioner's life 18 involved he prays that he Bhall not die without, at least, a hearing.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10, 1869. Repeal of the Teuare of Omice Law. The House Judiciary Committee, at its meeting to- day, instructed General Butier to report back to the House his bill for the repeal of the Tenure of OMice act. The committee were very unanimous in their opinion upon this, and as @ similar bilt passed the House at the last session it is supposed that it will go through without much debate or opposition. When it reaches the Senate, however, it will no doubt give rise to a lengthy discussion. There are several Senators whose position in favor of allowing this law to remain permanently on the statute book is unchanged. They have placed themselves square- ly on the record in its favor, bave made arguments for it, and they say they cannot now stultify them- selves by saying, in effect, that their former course was wrong. The responsibility, however, will be thrown upon the Senate of passing or defeating the measure, Tue French Cable Under Surveillance of the Imperial Government. The subject of the French Atlantic cable was briefly considered by the Committee on Foreign Affairs yesterday and to-day.

The committee has referred the subject for a report to a member who, while tn Europe 17st summer, made himself entirely familiar with it, Te French government, he says, 1s grant- ing @ charter for twenty years, reserving to itself the right to scrutinize or examine all despatches at that end ofthe line, and, in addition, the telegrams to and from our governinent. Even private messages are subject to the same conditions. The committee will unanimously sustain President Grant’s views rela- tive to ocean cables, and report a bill with a view to remedy this complaint. Sales of Gold by the Trensury.

ORNSUS BILL. ‘The House then went into Committee of ihe Whole on the state of the Umon (Mr. Dawes in te chair) and 1’esumed consideration of the Cenguz bill. Mr. XELLRY, (rep.) of Pa., moved to stike out of the fourtit section the proviso that in ay city com- prising more than one Congressional district the becretary of the Interior may appoint one district superintendent for such city instead of one for each Congressional district, He argued that that would impose upon such superintendent, in Philadelphia, comprising four and a@ half Congressional distaicts, and in New York, comprising six Congressional disiricw, from four to six umes the amount of labor imposed Seon other superintendents without any imecrease of compensation, After considerable dis- cussion the motion Was argrecd to, aud the proviso struck out. Mr. JunCkES moved to amend the bil by inserting an additional section (as section eight) authorizing each district superintendent to empioy (by couseut of the general superintendent), In addition to the ehumerators, one or more persons to collect, collace, arrange and report the special stavisiical imiorma- ion called tor by the act in relation to mines and mining, to manufacturing and mechanical industry, mercantile and trading establishments, and busi hess, fisheries, education, religion, charities, chari- table, sanilary, reiormatory aud penal lustituious, and other commercial and social statistics, He argued in favor of his amendment, and to show we necessity and advantage of tue employment of such experts as his amendment contempistes the ap- polntment of. Ai(ter considerable discussion the amen¢ agreed to by @ vote of 66 Wo 45, aud tue se sgrted as section 8, Mr, WILKINSON, (rep.) of Minu., moved an amend- Meut to the fourteenth section tmposiae a tine of $5,000 on any corporation Which suali refuse or neg- lect to give any lulormation required by the act. in sustaining his amendment he declared tt as nls be- lief that the two States of Minnesota and lowa paid to rullroad corporations for the transportation of produce $10,000,000 @ year more than iey oughi to pay, aud when the people came to know how they were victimized by railroad corporations it would awaken & degree of indignation which would require tue government to take hold of those mammoth cor- porations and restrict tucir power to rob aod plun- der the people. Alter discussion the amentiment was adopted. Mr. ScorizLp moved to strike out the eaacting Clause of the bill, He wa3 oppused to the muitplica- tion of tederal offices as provided by the bill, He preferred the act of 1850. He believed that under it the Census Of 1560 had been weil taken; its dules were better than those provided in this bill, and he beueved 1t3 machinery was belter. ‘There was no proviston here for getting statistics about the princi- pal products of his own district. Mr, GARFIELD—The poor man’s light, (Laughter.) Mr. SCOFIELD appreciated the iavor of the Census Committee, but he did not like the wachinery of the bill, nor did ne like the multiplication of lederal of- ticers, When the war comienced there was but one set of federal officers, while now there were four Sets, and tbis bu! proposed to create a fiith set. Mr. GARFIELD regretted that, if the motion were to be adopted, it Lad not been oifered eariuer, $0 as to save tune, The House had to take the present bill or to allow the census to be taken under tue law of 1550, with its slave schedules and all. He regretted that the House had not got a committee on tie cen- sus more devoted, perhaps, to economy, and one which could havegot im “poor man’s light.’ He wished to have the question deiermined now. The question was taken on Mr. olleid’s motion to strike out the euacting clause, and it was rejected by a large majority, Mr. FARNSWORTH, (rep.) of Ill., moved to strike out the sixteenth section, giving tue frauking privilege to census officers, He said ne made the motion as a test question. Mr. GARVIELD, while expressing himself in favor of abolishing the franking privilege, did not regard Us as @ test question on that subject. ‘The motuon was rejected, BELLIGERENT RIGHTS TO CUBA, Mr. Wakp, (rep.) of N.

The steamship company immediately instituted this suit, claiming $20,000 damages, and obtained an in- junction restraining further proceedings on the part of the city authorities, The city also commencea a suit in a State court and obtained an mjunction re- straining the company from further use and occu- pancy under their lease, and thereupon tne steam- ship company filed a supplemental petition, setting forth the commencement of the action of the city, upon which they obtained an order from the Circuit Court directing the city authorities to discontinue their suit or to show cause why they should not Le panisied as fore contempt. Subsequently the Mayor Dled @ sworn answer to the motion, disavowing any intention to disregard the first injunction order and stating that the buildings bad been removed before its service upon fin, and also setting up that the object of the suit commenced by the city was simply to prevent the further erection of build- ings by Lhe steamship company and to maintain the then status of affairs, Afterwards the city fied an- awer on the wmeriis, denying the authority of we military Mayor to bind, encumber or alienate the real property of the city beyond the period of us appointment, and claiming that all such acts done by him ceased to be of any force or eifect when the administration of the gqyernment of the city was reswred to the municipal authorities elected uoder the laws of Loulsiana, 1t was further alleged that the lease was void, because none of the formalities reserived by jaw and the ordinances of the city had een compued with, The prayer was that the lease be set aside and annulled, Tbe judgment of the court on the trial was for the steamship company, and the injunction restraining the city trom further inver- ference was continued during the term of the lease, From that judgment writ of error is taken to this court, The writ of error was dismissed, the Court holding that to give jurisdiction of the cause it should have been brought up on appeal.
