various verbal amendments were made, preparatory to the direct vote on tie bill. Mr. Doolittle of Vis. added an additional see- intended to prevent speculators from keeping nacK me land from settlement as they did witn those gianted to the Illinois Central Railroad Adopted. Mr.

Doolittle then moved that the Secretary or tbe Iuteiior on the passage of this act be author- ucu batwe prupoaajs lur tue iuimeru suu c-uuiu-ern routes, leaving the Central route as now und report to ogress at the commencement of the next session; i he advertisement to De puuusned for eight months in two papeis of the District of Columbia. Mr. Doolittle's amendment prevailed. Mr- Douglas ofiereu an amendment, providing that the so called desert lands wituin forty miles ot the middle section of tne road to be open to pre-emption rights at the rate of ten cents per acre. Adopted.

A protracted discussion ensued on the virions Sropositions, in course of which Senators Wilson, ale, Douglas, Mason, Trumbull Fessenden, Cameron, Pugn, Hamlin, Ward and others spoke. 1 he action of the Senate pas as follows Mr. Doolittle's amendm nt Xa advertise esti mates for the three routes having been adopted as a final section to the bill, Mr. t-immons moved to sin out all between tbe enacting clause and tne said fival section, whii.h was carried, thus killing the bill yeas3S; najs20.

'o re mars bitterly, "Little as this gives, it is all I ever ex pect to get Irom the Congress ot the United States." Mr.

Pngh moved to lay the bill on the table. Lot. Nr. Gwin moved to re-commit it. Lost.

to re-commit the bill with Mr. Douglas said that his sentiments were against re committing the bill. It was now go late iu the sc-s-ion that although nearly all seemed to favor a mad, there was no hoe of aorreein? on any one route in that limited time. The bill was dead; let it be decently buried, at least for the present. Mr.

Gwin had during tbe whole debate, watched its progress, replying where necessary, and striv ing to carry the bill tlirounb. When lost, he made allusion to Mr. Stewart's recent sspposiiion that the refusal to build the road pet haps involved ultimately a separation of the Atlantic States from those of the Pacilio with the city of Mexico for the capital of the latter. Mr. Gwin seemingly giving assent to the suggestion, and indicating that the continuance oi tne condition of the treasury would hasten the possibility, which, after all, was a mere question ot time.

Tne bill was then put on its final passage. Mr. Broderick, of California, saying, ironically that as bis name would be called before that of his col league, he was desirous of knowing whether Mr. Gwin approved of the bill as is now stood, so that he (UrodericK) might vote against it. Mr.

Gwm replied that his colleague ceuld not learn his sen timents until bis name was called. Mr. Br- derick "'Then I shall reserve my vote." (Laughter.) He afterwards voted with Mr. Gwin. Mr Seward (lauglnns) said that as he had fol lowed tue lead of both the California Senators, he could not now tell which to lollow.

However, as second in coinmind, and as he bad always voted for every measure which appeared to offer the least chance for a road to the Pacific, and as this was the best, in fact the only oue left, he would vote for it too. The bill was read three times, and finally passed by the follnwing vote: Teas Messrs Bell.Bigler, Bright, Broderick, Cameron, Chandler. Ciaike, Crittenden, fiixon, Doolittle, Douglas, Durkee, Fesseudeu, Foot, Foster, Gwin, Hamlin, Houston, Jones. Ken nedy, Polk, Rice, Sebastian, Seward, Shields, Simmons, Stuart. Trumuull.

Mr. Btll then moved that the name of the hill be altered to read: A hill to auihorize and invite proposals for the construction of a railroad from the valley of the Mississippi to the Pacific ocean on three separate ntes.

Aareed to. ihe lailowmg are the provisions of the bill which are the same recently proposed by Mr. Bell, namely, that advertisements be inserted in two papers of each State and the District ot Columbia, inviting estimates for three routes; the sum of $3,000 to be appropriated to pay expenses. Mr. Gwin moved that as the Seua'e had succeeded in consummating the greatest farce ever accomplished by any legislative assembly, it do now aoionrn.

Mr. Bell called Mr. Gwin to Older, but evident ly without changing his opinion. ihe Senate adjourned at a late hour. The JLeaveuwoth Fugitive Slave Case.

The Leavenworth Time of Jan. 15 contains what we suppose was the first act of the rescue case reported by telegraph from St. Louis as ba- occurred at Leavenworth. The rescued narty was one Cbnrly isber, who is represented by the limes as a treemau lronj-pirtli, aud as having re sided at Leavenworth for the greater part ot two years past, with his wile and ch Id, employed as a barber at the Planters' Hotel. He is the same person who was the object of an uusnccessiul attempt at kidnapping made at Lawrence last Autumn.

The same attempt was now again renewed and more successfully at Leaveuworth two po- .1 iicc uui' ens ui tue cuy aMsisuug me operation. They first atieniuted to entice him into the "Star Saloon," under pretense of having a letter for him. Not succeeding in that, hey lounged about his shop tid the hotel was closed, when thev plac ed a ladder against the door, and one of them, revolver in hand, climbed to a small window over it, anu inreatenea uiraney witn instant aeatn it he did not rise from the lonugo on which he was sleeping and open the door. Having thus effected an entrance, under pretense that be was accused 01 tneit, tuey nandcuned him, but msteal of carrying him to prison mtrched him down to the river, put him into a skiff, aud towed him across to the Missouri side. Tbe cries of tbe kidnapped man as he was thus carried along were heard by several persons.

wno went out to see wnat was the ma ter, but were told it was only an Irishman arrested tor lighting under cover of which story, the kidnappers carried oft' their victim. But. thongh they had succeeded in carrying Charley cfi, thev were not abie to keep him. The next night ne ned from bis captors nandcuned as be was got into a skiff, floated three miles down the river, and, in attempting to land got up to bis neck in the water, but, with the last effort of ct nis railing strength, succeeded in reaching the soil of Kansas. A large meeting was he id to welcome him back, and it was agreed on all hands that he was worthy ol freedom.

It would appear, from the telegraphic spatch of Wed- nesaay last, tnat ne bad been subseanentlv ar rested on a regular warrant as a fugitive slave, and committed to prison for further examination. nrsi attempt to release him was renelUd the officers in charge, but npon a second attempt, the door was cat down, and Charley car- iicu uu triuujpu.

Tns Island Affair. We are informprl frnm a reliable source, that persons living in the vicinity of Moline, have been at work for some time past in cutting and hauling off the best timber they can rind on the Ialand. As many as fifty teams are reported to be engaged in this ousiness, anu tney nave already taken off a large quantify. They say that the pre-emptors have have no recogn.zed utie on the Island, and there. lore take the tiherty that they do.

We understand that swr.s have been taken by Mr. Slay-maker, the Government Agent, to have the leading parties engaged in this matter arrested, and we warn all others to desist before they get tbemelvea into difficulty. Jioct Island Commercial. Axothbr VrLUDf Abroad. Dr.

Hodges, a young doctor of Stark Connty, is atsout getting driven from his practice by the just indignation of seme citizens of little Stark. The voung gentleman, all the way from New York "city," has presumed to inculcate among the citizens of the West a code of morals which are repulsive to their native virtue. He evidently did not understand the people with whom he was dealing, although he found one victim of his snares. He had taken occasion-to slander the entire female community, near about where he resided and at last ingratiated himself into the family of a merchant of the vicinity, whose wite he seduced. As goon as this was discovered by her injured lord, tbe disciple of Esculapiui was intronduced to a sound thrashing and barely escaped with his life.

Nay, at the hazard of Pontradictinif tiie vulgar prejudice and shock-iurr our own sense of security, we are obliged to a'unounc the deliberate conclusion that there is now no Democtatic party in existence And we will venture the assertion, that tbe paradoxical opinion will be embraed by all observing aud reflecting wrsons.

It is sufficient to say that upon no single issuers there aoeaaate agreement tor a common oasis oi ac tion. In the matter of organization we discover an eunal absence ot concord and unity in tee par A in com nton faction there are the followers of rreaideucv. many are the cliques and cabals among the Uemocrucy. Heretofore the administration has cfFirded a rallying point for the individuals of the par ty but, instead, it is become an original occa. sion ot dispute and dissension, in tne latter days, the recommendation of a Democratic Ex ecutive imDlies little more authority with a De mocratic representative than with a member of the opposition.

in one particular tne Democracy are tnongnt to be very generally agreed in opinion and con current in action, and that is in the pursuit of the spoils. Bat even in this most important matter they exhibit the same diversity ot interest and policy observable in every other regard. The course ot tne present democratic exs cutive has been signalized by the indiscrim inate ostracism of the surviving office holders ot its democratic predecessor And in respect of future promotion, the rival factions in the 'party" are more intent each on the defeat of its rival than ou the overthrow of the common ene my.

Even the potent spell of the spoils will not now avail to subdue the demon of discord among the democracy.

it is no absurd speculation, tneretore, to in quire whether there be a party among us? In fact, on elaborate investigation, we ore constrained to return a negative respond to the question. There is no such entity as a Democratic party. Greater confusion of tongues did not prevail among the children ot men after their amoitious but abortive attempt in the plain ol Shinah, than are now visible in the broken ranks and mutual animosities ot the once har monious and triumphant Democracy. Conipeusated Emancipation Conven- liou at Albany. lbay, Wednesday.

Jan. The Compensated Emancipation Society held its fesion in this city this evening, Dr. nott, oi Union Col eue. creaming. The convention was addressed oy vt.

unit, Knbn liurritt, the Rev. Dr. etch, and Brad ford R. Wood. Resolutions were introduced embodying Eh- hu Burma's principle of compensated emanci pation, and determining to raise funds to carry out tbe clan.

A. M. f'owell on ared oeiections to tne pian. on account of its immortality in principle, its injustice to the poor whites, ana its impracticability. Mr.

Hutchinson, of Orleans, inquired if the plan contemplated forcible interference with slavery Mr. ijurritt replied that itaia not; neaeiena- ed the morality and practicability of the plan. and denounced the 'Abolitionists as attacking constantly the sinners ot tne sontn, ana neg lectmg to urge repentance. Mr. Powell replied, detending the ASoimoa- lsts; they asked the repentance ot tae orth.

He attacked the colonization scheme, because it refused to recognize the humanity of slaves. Dr. JNott indorsed Mr. fowell views as to human rights pertaining to all classes. At the Jsorth all men are more or less restricted their rights.

Women and colored people were instanced in support of the Doctor's views. He had come to the Convention hoping to receive some new light on these questions, and was gratified at the debate which had taken place. Jur. John unaerwooa, oi lrginia, was called on. and addressed the meeting at length lie declared himself an out-and-out abolition ist, and in tavor ot immediate emancipation.

He honored the benevolence of this movement. but objected to the purchase ot tbe slaves as im moral. He gave his experience among the slaveholders ot Virginia, where, he said, tbe present movement excited the utmost displeasure. He had never heard one of them speak ffa- vorablv ot the plan. He would rather claim on his part that compensation was due to the slaves and poor whites.

He designated the scheme as impracticable, because slaveholders would not meet them ball way. Tne proposition was to pay 250 each for the slaves in forty years. while the masters could put their slaves in the market now, and get from SKI to (1,500 each lor them, lie would rather raise the proposed one thousand millions to be aevoted to the edu cation of the poor whites. He gave encouraging accounts of the progress ot emancipation, and beueved it would soon be accomplished in ir- ginia through tbe organization for settling the lands there bv ortnern emigration. Jiir.

un derwood's speech was received very favorably. At an adjourned meeting only a dozen or so persons were present, the resolutions reported at the prior meeting were adopted, and an ad- lournment. tine die took place.

Another correspondent of the same paper, writes as follows The correspondence between Fitch and Doug las, published in this morning's Union, bas produced a painful impression amongst the friends of tbe latter gentleman.

It is conceded that the cunning ana nearness casnistry of the Indiana eve oat or nas aggravated tne original insult by placing Mr. Douglas in a position where he seems to accept the duelling code, and yet does not resent a gross affront with tbe determination which the case would warrant. Mr. Vttch has well repaid tbe Administration tor the part taken bv it in tbe Indiana juggle.

Wards in CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. tC Spec Correspondence of the Press -a Tr.buneJ The Charter before the House Embodied of por. teutons Ie charge of by Hick (Dem.) of Galla and, at last evening's session, by concart of action, introduced.

The dance began at once. Hardly was the bill in the hands of the Clerk before a call for read ni at length came from Republican side of tha House. That officer not got through the first page, when he was interrupted by a motion, from the same quarter, to adjourn. Upon this the ayes and nays were demanded, and from that starting point, what is in Congress popularly called fillibns-teriog," commenced, and in that both sides participated, keeping it np nntil after 2 o'clock this morning. I need not disguise the fact that tbe Republicans were determined to keep the bill out and prevent its being read, as long possible and that the Democrats were equally determined to exercise their power as a majority and force the measure in.

It was a straggle in which great skill, readiness and determination were evinced. The weapons offen sive and defensive were parliamentary usage aad the rnles of the House. These, wielded by experienced and able men made the battle one of intense interest and importance. No lan euaze can reproduce the scene in the mind of the reader; it was so complex and so constantly changing. One who is familiar with th moth.

resources which a minority may properly em ploy, either ia attack or defence, can imagine what occurred. The uninitiated can comprehend what confusion worse confounded would be created by a succession of motions, and amendments to motions, and amendments to amendments by repeated calls of the House by propositions to adjourn npon which the ayes and nays are demanded by members asking to be excused from voting, and the inevitable call of the ayes and nays thereupon by the incessant cry, "Mr. Speaker 1 Mr. Speaker!" ot gentlemen striving to get the floor by the fre quent raising of points of order; by appeals from the decision of the Chair by the loud and angry criminations and recriminations of the contestants by hurried and earnest consulta tiona on each side by the loud talking and, lastly, by the ill concealed sympathy of the dense crowds in the lobby. Understanding this, they may see in their own minds a shadow ot what took place in last night's struggle.

Good humor generally prevailed during the whole affair. Indeed, passages in it were ex ceedingly laughable but two or three times the excitement raged so violently that a collision between the parties was apprehended; fortu nately that did not occur, and among the recol lections of the combat but little personal bitter ness is mixed up. By common consent, Ebenbzsb Pick led the Republican forces. He was ably seconded by bis colleagues from Cook county, and by Chubcb ot McHenry, Hublbct of Boone and Mace of Kankakee, each one of whom ia entitlea to the thanks of every tax-payer in Chicago. Where the fight was the thickest and the blows fell fastest, there were they.

Their speeches were bold and denunciatory, and withal eloquent and effective. Peck never did better in his life than in a twenty minutes' haraogue in waich every sentence, like the stroke of a whip, raised "welt" where it fell. At length, after both parties had become weary of the scene, Switt cf McLean, one of the most popular men in the House, in a very handsome speech, as wise as it was conciliatory, he'd up a proposition of compromise which all eagerly embraced. He proposed that the bill should be read by its title, and that it should be laid on the table and ordered to be printed. As this involved as much delay ct proceedings relative to it as cauld be gained by a continuation of the fight, it was adopted by our friends and agreed to by its supporters.

The motion was carried, tbe Hall jast before the scene of a con test so bitter and determined, was entirely de serted. It is but just to the SriAKis to say that during the whole struggle be behaved with commenda ble fairness and impartiality. A more thorough partisan in the Chair would have ruled differ ently, and nerhaps cut short the contest but, governed by the rules which be had sworn to enforce, he seemed anxious for their observance, without regard to the consequences to his political friends. Much has been calned by last nisht's events. They have taught the dominant party that they cannot mi ddle with our municipal aff drs, unasked and for purely partisan purposes, with impunity that their scheme of submission is as distasteful as the new charter of whic'i it is a part and that the propos'nioa which clothes a judge with such extraordinary powers as are conferred u-iou Recorder Wilson, cannot be carried without a sacrifice of everything else.

The report now is that the whole thing Ikis been abandoned, and that the bill will never more see the lisht. The fairer members of the Democratic party ia either House have beeu brought into its support with great reluctance. This earnest of wjat they must en-couuter at every sta of proceedings if they persevere, has op ned their eyes to the consequences of their action aud they will gladly avail themselves of any opportunity to draw ick. SraisariiLD, January 27, 18' 9. The people of Chicago, who are cognizant of no on the (tail of any legal voter, in de-posilin; his ballot ou election day, would be astounded if they were iHve to learn what a fearful coadition the rule or tbe BUck Republicans in that city has brought a'joat.

Bayard Taylor was present at the Bnrns celebration in Cleaveland, and, in a brief ad dress, related the following, among other anec dotes ot the Bard At a time when Burns was exciseman, a festival was given by his fellow excisemen, in the course of which the toast of Robert Pitt eiven. All drank it save Burns, who sat with inverted glass. When all had drank to the memory ot Pitt, Barns arose apdremarked that they had toasted Gkobci Washington. The Washington correspondent of the Bal timore Patriot relates the following anecdote of Senator Chesnnt's wife, wnich furnishes a happy instance of a graceful recognition. Fifteen years ago, Mejor who was a fellow-pas senger with Mr.

Chestnnt and his wife on a homeward bound European packet, began the recital of a story to them, in which he was interrupted, and, no opportunity occurring for its conclusion before the termination of their pas sage, the voyagers became separated at New York, and remained so until a day or two ago, when the Major waited npon bis former acquaintances to welcome them to Washington. The first greetings over, Mrs. Chestnut, with a smile of pleasant expectation, said "Toto, Major pray relate oa the remainder of that story." A game for the organization of the next House of Representatives is developed by the United State Gazette's correspondent. He writes "It is understood, in political circles, that a movement has been made here recently which may materially affect the organization of tbe next Honse of Representatives. Certificates of election have not been issued to the six mem bers from New' York city, owing to informality in the returns.

Tuey have obtained, however, an authenticated statement, exhibiting the Dumber ot votes given, and to what candidates. This testimony may be sufficient to satisfy the claimants or others of their election, but it is not the legal or formal certificate heretofore re garded as prima facte proof of membership. Without such proof being furnished, it is difficult to see bow these names can be placed on the roll, there is reason to believe that Mr. Ailen, the present Democratic Clerk, who will preside in the next House until the election of a Speaker, has determined to call these persons as regularly elected, and thus, perhaps, give tnem a controlling innuence in tne organization. Sucn is the game as developed now." There is lately a remarkable silence in the South Carolina and Georgia papers as to the Congo negroes.

The only recent allusion to them is the foltowing in the Yicksbnrg, Sun: "We do not think they are valuable, from the fact that we believe no white man would like to oversee a set of such hideous, senseless-looking creatures; besides, it would, in our opinion, be a great deal of trouble to keep them at work. They can ask for tobicco and whisky, and perhaps chew the former and drink the latter, but they can do nothing else.

In the township of Elms, C.

on the 17th a boy named Dobbs, aged 12 years, committed suicide. It appears that the boy, whose parents were absent from home at the time, bad been ordered by an elder brother to do something about the house. He appeared reluctant, and, instead of doing his brother's bidding, he went for the powder born, took the gun, loaded it, retired to the garret, pulled one boot and stocking off, put the mnrile of the enn to his mouth, and with his toe pulled the trigger. Legal Holidays. The Springfield correspondent of the St Louis Democrat, speaking of the bill introduced into our Htate Legislature by Mr.

Bryant, of Bureau county, mentioned in our regular re ports at the time making Christmas, New Year's and Thanksgiving day, and, by subsequent amendment, the 8th of January and tbe 2d of February, legal holidays, which bill was referred an to appropriate committee says: 1 ou will not ba surnrised now. when I tell you that Mr. Bryant is a brother of Win.

Sorely it was not strange that farmer itiyant, wno loves to look upon tbe face of nature, should deem it advisable to consecrate three days in the year to other purposes than work.

It was very vigorously resisted-, but the perseverance of its friends car ried it through to a third reading, thongh th were compelled to submit to an final passage, even in the House is doubttijignt and tbe chances are that it may never again w. reached in the Senate.

Many of tha Northern Republicans have set their hearts on this measure and will hate to face their coustituents without having pessed it. Its most active friends are Davis of Stephenson, Church of McHenry and Applington of Ole. PEISGriRLQ, JA5FART, 13th. Yesterday afternoon, the resolution in rela tion to tbe calling of a Constitutional Convention was under discussion as the special order in the Senate, and the same subject has been continued to-day. The contradictory opinions to which this matter gives rise seem to be irreconcilable and its the final determination is yet in doubt.

It has been thought that a majority would form a new Constitution, but since Mr. Higbee has brought forward bis proposition to amend the article in the old Consiitutioa.wi'iiCP 'people at any one time, opinion seems to have changed somewhat and nothing less than a vote will determine the attitude in which the Senate stands. In all the speeches which have been made on the points in dispute. There is -perfect unanimity of opinion that changes of some kind must be had. The difference has relation to the method by which they can best and most safely be effected.

Mr. Judd is strongly in favor of a Convention, nd sup ported his views yesterday by an able and elaborate argument in which the question was ex hausted. The same opinions are entertained by Blodgett of Lake, Parks of Will, and most of the Republicans of the bsdy to which they be long. To day Fuller of Tazewell and Goudy of Fulton, have spoken in favor of the resolution, and Higbee and Bryan against. Dr.

Richmond got the floor acd moved that the subject be postponed nntil Monday next. I he resolution has already passed the House. Ihe representatives at the other end ot the Capital have all the afternoon been engaged on unimportant b'tls on their third reading. Their titles in the official record, beyond which few of them will ever be known. Toe traces of last night's rowdy-dow do not seem to have any ef fect npon the progress ct public business, it any feeling is excited by the recollection, it is well concealed.

Tolls upon the New York Railroads. The Buffalo fnress publishes a table of consignments, during the past year, from up-lake ports to the New York Central Eailrood. The figures are formidable, the item of flour alone reaching 544,717 barrels. The Exuress presents the table as an argument for levying tells upon articles carried over roads which cowpute with caual transportation. Had tolls been paid upon the produce consigned to the Xew York Central road, as set forth iu the tables of tiie Sxpress, the State, that paper says, would have realized $200,000, "and this during the season of navigation ouly, without taking up-freights inio the account." It is probable that tells on the up freights would have amounted to as much as those on the down freights, while those that would be imposed during the suspension ot navigation would swell tbe aggregate to more than $500,000 anuuallv.

This sum would come ultimately out of the pockets of Western pro ducers. It would be so much added annually to the taxes of the West, to s-vell the coffers of a foreign State government. The power of New York to iaipose this tax is perhaps not to be denied, but the policy or uoing so is an open qaestion. la our opinion it would be in its result very simi lar to what happened to the smart youth who cut open the goose that laid him a golden egg every day. The St.

Lavrreuce Kiver runs to tne ocean, aud the Graud Trunk Kailway is fres from tolls. Let New Y'ork reflect be fore taking action upon this subject. If our Buffalo cotemporaries wore of sane rniud we would warn them against a policy that will inevitably produce deserted wharves and an empty harbor. If this does not happen, it will be because the Buffaloniaiis are not permitted to control the policy of the State. A New State Apportionment.

Judge Robert S. Wilson, as we learn, has th Took County members of the IiesrifcUture that he wi'l not take the respon nf nnnointin? the inspectors and DIWI Its clerks of the election to be hold forthe adoption of the Charter. This throws the duty back upon the eighteen mobs collected the various voting places on tha morning appointed for the election, and of course fixes a premium on shilleiahs, shooting irons aud tho other emblems of a street parliament. Since the defeat of the schsraer i in the night peswiou at Springfield, they have made the Cook County members of the Legislature a proposition to strike out all the provisions of their charter concerning a police force for the polls, and insert another forbidding the employment of any officers whomsoever to preserve order and prevent double votiag on that occasion. This was course indignantly rejected.

Another fact material to the qaestiou is, that the bribe oSered to the German voters cf the city incorporating iu the charter a section reducing the rate of licenses for the sale of wine and beer, from fifty to twenty-five dollars is hooted at by the very persons whom it was desigued to buy. The Germans look unja the liceuse question ay nicy aave desire to reopen agitation, on it Moreover, tboy regard the attempt to bribe thorn toreinttte the Hibernian rule in Chi cago, as ail iusuiLrable insult. Many of them indjed deem it a hardship that they cannot get their bauds on the conspirators who are gambling' with their rights at Springfield, We warn our legislators solemnly against the crima which is proposed to be committed oi the freemen of Chicago. If it is desired to turn our streets into a battle-ground, pitting the tax-eaters and oUbe-robbers against the known majority of the voting and tax-paying population if it is intended to throw such a fire-brand among the tens of thousands people and the millions of property in this city, and pred icate the result cn a promiscuous knock down and drag out on a certain day two months hence let it be so Hated iu express terms, that suitable preparation may be made and the affair be conducted on known principles. It is an outrage sufficiently gross for the Legislature to be tiukering at our charter at all, against the clearly expressed wish, of the people.

It is a greater aud a wholly intolerable outrage for that body to talk of erecting new powers here, irresponsible to the Couucil or the people for the collection acd disbursement cf taxes. No city in the United States ever received such a charter ao one ever received any kind of a charter in such a way. Cut w'len it i- proposed to make this contrivance contingent upon the issues of a tcore of street lights, the crime assumes a charact which ought to mako it indictable before tUe first Grand Jury that sits in Springfield. Dyer knows, and Granger knows, acd the editor of the Times knows, that the Democracy of Cbi-cago never get through their o.vn private ward caucuses without disturbances of the peace. These men all know that black eyes aud cracked crowns are the regular fruit of their own internal disagreements every spring.

What then may they expect from eighteen separate collisions between opposite parlies assembled to get control of an all important organization If they expect tie Republicans to stand back and keep out ol the muss, for fear of the fists aud clubs of the unwashed, we assure them that they will be straD "isappointed. To ti bers of the Legislature from this c'tj ave so well defended the rights of their constituents to this point, we would say that the people expect tuem sacrifice all other interests, of whatever name and description, rather than allow this enormity to lie perpetrated. The question has pass', beyond the bounds of ordinary procedure and taken, the form of revolution. It has ceased to atUct merely the ascendancy of this or that political factioo, but has assailed the fundamental principles of our government, and the original rights of the whole people, llence it wu-t be defeated without contiu-cucy. The people will be satisfied with nothiug shorl of its uuqualiued overthrow.

Pacific Railroad Bill. Ey reforenco to another column it will be seen that the Senate took final action, on the 27 ih inst upon the l'acific Railroad bill which has been pending in that body since the first week of the tcssion. Shortly before the vote was taken an amendment was adopted calling lor proposals for building three roads upon three distinct routes to the Iiciic, after which all of the original bill was stricken oat, and the bill as thus amended was adopted. This is equivalent to no action at all, and may be regarded as another shrewd and original illu-tration of" how not to do it." Whatever may be said iu favor of a railroad to the Pjcific as a political necessity," it is very clear that it cannot yet be urged ou the ground of commercial necessity. It cannot be txpected tkv.t railroads will be built in this country for mere political considerations so long as Democratic Administrations contrive to squander over $100,000,000 annually.

For the present we mn-t be content with the slow aud tedious Isthmus routes toourTacifio possessions. It is -oily to expect Congress to make the requisite appropriations for so gigantic an undertaking, with the certain prospect of calls upon the Treasury to the extent of from ten to twenty millions per aununi to pay running expenses aud keep the road in repair. The country is evidently moderating its expectations iu regard to this subject. No one doubts, but that a railroad to the Pacifi nill ultimately be constructed but the impression is becoming general that it will progress no faster than our lines of BOlllemcut extend westward. A continuous line of settlement to the eastern slope of Uie Kooky Mountains would soou be followed by a continuous line of road with only the aid afforded by the ordinary land-grants.

If our statesmen therefore are anxious to push forward a railroad connection with the Tactfic, let thera originate and ure the passage of measures favoring the settlement of our western territories. Let them call np again, in some other connection, the measure introduced by Mr. Grow, to keep the publio land out of markat for ten years after its survey, aud pass iu That would do more towards the construction of a Pacific- Railroad than the passage of any number of such bills for the purpose as have heretofore occupied the attention of Congress that would do something towards creating a commercial neces sity for a road, and that is the only kind of necessity that will ever lead to its construction. Shall we have some euch practical action during the present session Sequel to the JPike County Lynching Case. From tha Pike Connty Dtmocrat of the 26th we learn of the four persons taken from the Pike County Jail by a company of Regulators, that after an examination before a Com mittee, three of them were discharged and sent to their homes in Calhoun County.

Wm Chryiop received one hundred lashes well laid oa, and was then taken into Missouri onder promise of never returning to this State, with the assurance that if he did so he would be shot on sight.
