CHRONICLE AND SENTINEL. AVGUSTA. SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 7. Dome*tic Manufacture. We were ehown yeeterday the finest and most )>eriect piece of workmanship in the way of car riages, that we ever saw any where. It is a dou ble seated, two Horse Buggy, manufactured in this city at the Carriage Manufactory of Mr. R. V. Ooetcbius. Go and look at it. Fine Arts. W e yeeterday morning made a abort visit to the Rooms of Mr. Richards, the accomplished Rgung Artist, who has re-opened in this city, his Academy for Drawing and Painting. There are few things so pleasing to the eye as fine paintings •f rural scenery, landscapes, fruit and flowers, and there is certainly nothing more soothing and calming to the feelings. The Gallery of Mr. Richard* is a rich treat of that character, and whoever has a taste for any thing else but mere delving and drudgery after “filthy lucre,” will be delighted with a visit. They will be open for this day only, and on Monday he commences giving lessons to hi* classess in Drawing and Painting in oil and water colors, and pencil sketches. Few are so capable of giving instruc tion in those pleasing and useful studies. Meeting of Congress. On Monday last both Houses of Congress •hi —the Senate organized, but the House of Re presentatives did not, as will be perceived by the proceedings below. The difficulty was in relation to the contested seats from New Jersey. Os course, the President’s Message was not received here last night, as anticipated, for it cannot be de livered until both Houses are organized, and we should not be surprised if the House of Repre sentatives was not organized for several days. From the National Intelligencer of Tuesday. Is Ssuatb.—Conformably to the Constitu tion. the Senate convened this day, Mr King President pro tem. in the chair. The creden • tials of Mr. Tappan, of Ohio, Mr. White, of In tltstta, and Mr, Betts, of Connecticut, having been duly presented and read, they were several ly qualified and took their seats. There were present— From Maine, Mr. Rugglea and Mr. Williams. From New Hampshire, Mr. Hubbard and Mr, Pierce, Prom Massachusetts, Mr. Davis. From Rhode Island, Mr. Knight. From Connecticut, Mr. Betts. From New York, Mr. Wright. New Jersey, Mr. Southard and Mr. From Pennsylvania, Mr. Buchanan. ; From Delaware, Mr. Clayton. From Virginia, Mr. Roane. t rom North Carolina, Mr. Brown. From South Carolina, Mr. Calhoun. From Georgia, Mr. Lumpkin. From Kentucky, Mr. Clay and Mr. Crittcn- ! den. From Tennessee, Mr. White. | From Ohio, Mr. Allen and Mr. Tappan. Prom Indiana, Mr. Smith and Mr. White. From Mississippi, Mr. Walker. | From Illinois, Mr. Robinson and Mr. Young. From Alabama, Mr. Clay and Mr. King. From Missouri, Mr. Benloo and Mi. Linn. From Arkansas. Mr. Fulton. From Michigan, Mr. Norvell. On Motion of Mr. Walker, the Secretary of ] the Senate was directed to acquaint the House , «f Representatives that the Senate has formed a quorum and is ready to proceed to business. On motion, a committee was appointed, (by the Chair,) consisting]of Mr. Wright and Mr. I < Allen on the part ol the Senate, to join such committee as may be appointed by the House of Representatives, to wait on the President of the U. States, and inform him that quorums of both Houses had assembled, and that they were ready to receive any communication he might be pleased to make. Mr. Benton then gave notice that he would on to-monow introduce a bill for the summary re covery and collection of small notes in the Dis itrict of Columbia. The Senate then adjourned. Correspondence of the Baltimore American. Washimotok Dec. 2, 1839. nODBK OF RKPHKSKVTATIVKS. The House was filled long before 12 o’clock, and nearly every member chosen to Congress was in his seat. The Clerk, Mr. Garland, at 12 o’clock, called the House to order. He said that “if it was the pleasure of the House he would read the names of the membeis of the Twenty-sixth Congress from a list which he had prepared for the occa sion.” There was a moment's pause, and no ob jection being made, the Clerk proceeded to read the names from the written list before him, begin ning with the Maine delegation. When the State of New Jersey was named, the clerk read the name of Mr. Randolph. He 4hen stated that there were five contested seats in the New Jersey delegation, which, if it was the pleasure of the House, he would pass over, leaving the subject to the future action of the House. . Ih® first named of the Pennsylvania delega tion was then read, when the Clerk was inter ruplod by Mr. Maxwell, one of the New Jersey delegation. Mr. Maxwell called for the reading of the certificate of election of the five member* Gov. Pennington’s certificate announcing the election ot the six members. Messrs. Aycrtgg Mrnswetl. 11 at sled, Stratton, Yorke and Randolph was then read. A debate made up of sugges- Hon* merely, sprang up between Messrs. Max wetl of New Jersey, R,ves. Mercer, and Wise of Virginia, Vanderpool of New York, and several other members. Mr. Mercer of V*. called for the reading of the law of New Jersey. Mr. Rives of Va., called for the reading of the Dames of the remaining members for the purpose of forming a quorum. r 1 Mr. Hodman objected to the proposition. He addressed the clerk and asked him what right he had to call any member but as he had evtdence of hi. election through a certificate laid upon the labia. That was the only evidence he could have of an elecUop, and you air, said Mr, Hoft'- man, addrewmg the Clerk, have no more right to vVk" T the New Jer “V member. * m"? ta? «•»_*-> mand a* a aoverei |n memiier “J Je - Jersey , that my name be C alM of . New virtue of my election, proved bv the i a in against precedent—against parliamentary usage —against justice—shall be so considered as to pass by the names of the members elect.” Mr. Halsted discussed bis tight, referring to the Constitution ol the United Htalcs and 'the Con stitution of the State of New Jersey to prove that he bad been lawfully elected. The Governor’s act had been complained of. But upon what ground. It was not the time to consider that subject; if it was it could lie proved that he had pursued a course both in accordance to parlia mentary and common usage, The New Jersey delegation present asked the House only to fol low its own precedents in the disposition of their claims. Many precedents wore cited in the his lory of foreign and national legislation, all going to show that the certificates oj an election were prirna facie evidence of an election. The Clerk nor the House could set aside an election before the House was organized. The claimants had the usual mode of claiming a redress of grievan ces, the customary, established mode. Mr. Vandcrpocl of New York, proposed that the testimony of the claimants be read before the law of New Jersey applicable to elections, or in connexion with it. Mr. Tillinglmst said that upon the evidence of the certificate of the Governor of New Jersey the Clerk hud caused the name of Mr. Randolph to be read, and yet upon the s vine evidence ho had refused the evidence of the election of the re maining five members. The Clerk, Mr. T, con tended, had no right to do this. The certificates proved alike and equallly the election of all the members. Mr. Mercer continued the debate at some length, making various suggestions, and arguing the merits of the case briefly. Mr. Johnson, of Maryland, appealed to the members. He denied the power of the Clerk to refuse to read the names of the New Jersey mem bers. The only e<idence he ha I of his own election was the high seal of the Slate of Mary land, and the members elect from New Jersey had the same proof of their election. Mr. Biddle said that if the suggestion of Mr. Rives of Va. were carried out, monstrous abuses would spring up under it. The precedent would lie a had one, and could not fail forever hereafter to he used for a had purpose. The Clerk, he contended, was hound to conform to the law of the Slate of New Jersey, and the certificates be fore him; instead of which, ho had been governed by his own will or by his own con duty. He was hound, he thought, by the former, and had no right to consider the latter subject. All the clerk should do, and could do, was to state his own convictions, and leave the action to the plea sure of the House. Mr. Sergeant, of Penn, spoke at some length, censuring the condactof the Clerk, and in reply to some remarks made by Mr. Slade of Vermont. Mr. Randolph, of New Jersey, followed Mr. Sergeant. He was for the reading of the law of New Jersey applicable to the subject. That law and the usage of the House would decide the pending difficulties. He hoped the law would he read. It would bring the subject before the House in a manner which would lead to its dis position. Mr. Bynum, ofNorth Carolina, spoke at length in reply to Mr.Halstead, in defence of the conduct of Mr. Garland, the clerk, and in regard to the claim of the five Van Uuren members from New Jersey who have not got the certificates of elec tion. The Clerk, he hoped would hold fast to his present position,—The Administration mem bers were but defending the people of New Jersey in opposing their Governor. Ho had assumed a power over an act of the people of New Jersey which this House should set right. The people of New Jersey were here represented as well as the Governor. N.Mr, Galbraith of Penn, defended the same po sition, and was followed by Mr. Everett of Ver mont, who took sides against the Clerk of the House. Mr. Craig was the last speaker before I closed my letter. As with many others who preceded him, he could not he heard. [The members of the House were all present except Mr. Kcmpshall of New York, u whig member. —The Mississippi members were both here, and 240 of the Delegations of 242, But one member was absent from .the twenty six Slates and three Territories.] Here the letter of the Baltimore correspondent ends, and we conclude the summary from th e National Intelligencer.—[JJd. Chron. «$■ Sen.] Mr. Maxwell, of New Jersey, (whig) followed Mr. Craig. He said that he and his colleagues did not come there as had been supposed to claim their seats upon primafacie evidence. He was satisfied that they had received a majority of the legal votes of the Stale, and they produced as good credentials us any member on the floor, and as regular evidence of title to scats. Mr. While of Kentucky spoke next. He con tended that the universal custom had been to ad mit to their seats those who produced credentials under the broad seal of the State. Mr. Bynum of N. C. rose to reply, but as night was approaching, the House adjourned by gen eral consent. Flection of Speaker. Great interest is felt in political circles, in the result of the election lor Speaker of the House of Representatives of Congress. Many gentlemen are spoken of, but it seems that neither party has yet fixed upon its candidate. The following ar ticles, from the Charleston Courier, contain a comprehensive view of the condition of matters. “Thk Spkakkr’s Chair.—There seems to be great uncertainty still as to the administration candidate for (he Speakership of the National House of {eproaentatives. The Madisonian says that Mr. Pickens, the Calhoun candidate for the Speakership, will not be cordially supported by the friends of either aspirants for the Presidency, viz: Messrs. Forsyth, Polk, Buchanan and Ben ton. Mr. Pickens is represented as particularly offensive to the editor of the Globe, whom ho once pourlraycd to the House us “a galvanized corpse, in whose hideous visage envy and malig nity were blended in cadaverous union.’’ Mr. Dixon H. Lewis, of Alabama, is said to be spe cially objectionable to the “democratic abolition isls,” who arc very insignificant in number and influence we suppose. Mr. Francis Thomas, of Maryland, is said to lie exceptionable to the hard money folks, as President of a “shin plaster mo nopoly.” Mr. Buchanan's friends favor the pre tensions of Mr. Keim, Dr. Duncan is set down as the Bentonian, but this, we suspect, is done more in malice than in truth. Mr. Polk's friends advocate Mr. Joi.es, of Virginia, and Mr. For syth’s parly rally around Linn Bunks, the former Speakerof the Virginia House of Representatives.” A correspondent of the Baltimore Patriot says that a caucus of the friends of the adininistra tion, 117 present, was held on the night of the 3l)th ult., at which it was found impossible to agree on a candidate—that Mr. Pickens was in different to the trouble of the Speakership, and that he is in fact not anxious to commit himself on all the measures of the administration—that Mr. D. H. Lewis was next discussed, and stood a fau chance of nomination, it being tnought that he could draw in the Georgia delegation The same writer at a later hour adds—“neither parly has as yet agreed on a Speaker decidedly The loco focos will yet, 1 think, go for Pickens ” The whig choice lies In-tween John Bell of Ten nessce, and Win. C. Dawson, of Georgia. We copy the following from another corres pondent of the Baltimore Patriot; “W*shijioto*,Nov. 30 “Mr. Pickens reached the city tonlay; and the trouble, which it is notorious, existed in the camp of the enemy before, hue been in no degree di minished since his arrival. “If the Van Burenites proper have (as it is re ported) demanded certain concessions from the Carolina member, as the condition of their sup port, it may be readily imagined from his charac ter lor independence, and from his peculiar posi tion, that he would decline entering into any com pact. “The fact probably 's, that Mr. Pickens has been found impracticable. A story is in circula tion that he declined being a candidate. “Whotheh will be the candidate? The gen eral opinion seems to be that John W. Jones of Va. is the man. “John Bell, of Tennessee, will be the candi date of the opposition. ’ Extract from Use cot., spondence of the Courier, dated W c isotoh, December 2. This is the day for the meeting of the 26th Congress, and all the members, with the excep tion of two, are present, and even they are ex pected in the course of the day. At this hour, 11 o'clock, it is uncertain who will be the candi date forHpeaker on either side, The Whigs are , holding back to take the benefit of any mistakes into which the Administration men happen to tall. They will run Bell, unless they find that they can certainly carry Dawson. The Admin istration members are divided still between Dixon H. Lewis, John W. Jones, of Virginia, and Mr. Pickens. The opposition to Mr. Pickens, is more formidable than was expected. It is quite un certain, however, upon which of these gentlemen the choice of the parly may ultimately fall.— They will unite; but can they carry all the South Carolina members with them for Mr. Jones 1 M ust they not be defeated, or concen trate upon Mr. Pickens or Mr. Lewis. From our Correspondent. MnLr.noKrit.ut, Dec. 3, 1839. IN SENATE. On motion of Mr. Stanford, the Resolution providing for the appointment of a Committee to investigate and report upon the past and present condition of the Bank of Darien, to the next Le gislature, &c., was taken up, and after considera ble discussion had and some amendments were proposed, the whole matter was laid on the table for the present. Several Resolutions were read and agreed to, instructing our Senators in Congress to use their efforts for the establishment of various mail routes. Bills Reported —Mr. Polk—To amend the laws relative to Pedlars, &c. A half dozen other bills of a purely local chat* acter. Bills Passed —To encourage a direct export and import trade with foreign countries and to authorize the formation of Joint Stock Compa nies, &c. Bills Lost —To exempt all free white men (except Lawyers and Doctors) from raput or poll tax. (This bill is reconsidered on the 4lh December.) I suppose this honorable exception, in favor of the attornies and physicians proceeds upon the supposition that their “stock in trade” is stored in the head, and this is the only practi* cable mode of assessing a tax upon it. To alter and amend the 3d section of an act, apptoved sth Dec. 1606, entitled an act to amend an act, to carry into execution the 9th section of the 3d article of the Constitution. Mr. Kenan submitted a act of Resolutions in relation to the appointment of Commis sioners to examine and enquire into the situation and condition of the several Banks of this Stater and to authorize said Commissioners to apply for injunctions, &c. IN HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Dec. 3, 1839. I failed this evening to get possession of the journal of the House, in time to furnish the items other than as already advised, it will accompany the report of to-morrow. Dec. 4. It was believed that after the dissipation of last evening at His Excellency’s Grand Fete, the General Assembly, would not this morning have resumed their business, with their wonted industry, but they have not been idle or remiss; the numerous guests so far as I have heard have expressed unanimously their deep sense of obli gation for the delightful evening's entertainment. It was truly gratifying to witness the members of both parties divesting themselves of all politi cal badges, mingling in sweet sociul intercourse with the utmost harmony. To the bright and fair ones who graced those crowded halls, pres ure does not permit me, even hastily to advert here, but you must content yourselves with the assurance, that the whole was worthy of all that I could say of it, in a much more detailed notice than these brief remarks. The question was agitated in both houses to day, which occurs under the bill to compel per sons who own a plantation and slaves in a coun ty other than that of their residence, to pay tax therefor in the county where such properly is sit uate. '1 he Senate adopted the measure by a ma jority of a few votes, whilst at the sumo moment it was laid on the table for the balance of the ses sion in the House by a much larger majority.— This measure is regarded by many as due to the counties below, and there seems to be much force in the arguments employed to establish their po sition. From the New 1 ork Evening Star. Outrageous Conduct towards General Henderson, the Texiak Minister. We notice in the morning papers of yesterday, a re port of a case belorc the Superior Court of this city, in which Gen’l J. Pinckney Henderson, the Trxian Minister to France and England, and who recently arrived here in the British Queen steamer, appears in the light of a person resort ing to his diplomatic prerogatives us an Ambas sador to avoid the payment of an alleged debt against him. The facts in the case will remove any discredi table appearance, which this business may have, in reading the imperfect statements published. Some two years since, Gen. Henderson gave, to a triend at the South, permission to use his name as he might find it convenient, and for that pur pose gave his signatures in blank. It would appear that the signatures have been used, and the persons holding the claims thus obtained, have, without any previous notification ■ whatever, either in this country or in Europe placed them in the hands of the Sherifi’, wilhor ■ ders to arrest. This, to say the least of it, considering the high and responsible iank occupied by Gen. H ! and the comity due to him as the minister of« ' outer republic, did not exhibit that delicacy of procedure which we should suppose in every in spect due to‘aim. Gen. H. was entirely unaware that the signa tures had been used. If used, it certainly was farthest from his intentions, and is so now, ever to call in to his aid any subterfuge or evasion to escape an honorable liquidation of every demand they may cover. The holders of the claims might have, in common courtesy, allowed him the op portunity to express this willingness to satisfy them, and not come upon him in this abrupt manner, by the mediation of a sheriff, as though the person sought after was an absconding debtor. But it would appear that cupidity sometimes blunts those nicer sentiments and refined feelings which ought lobe cardinal virtues in all mercan tile as well as other transactions between man and man. The claimants might have readily imagined from the station of Gen. H.. and the distinguish ed reception he has met with from foreign courts abroad, as evinced by the complete success of his negoriation.thathe was a person entitled certain ly to the common civilities of life. Not so, he is pounced upon unceremoniously by an officer and brought up as a culprit before our tribunals to an swer a charge oi which ho was, at the time, ut terly unconscious. The General does not desire to resort to any expedient to avoid the payment of all claims against him, but the imperious necessity of his re turning home in the fulfilment of his official du ties, compels him to avail himself of the rights as a public minister passing thro our country, in order to prevent the evils that might ensue from delay. This is also rendered still more necessa ry that he may make such pecuniary arrange inenlsat home as will meet the claims in question. We learn from good authority, that arrange ments arc in progress by the Monroe Kuil Road Bank, to make their notes at par in Savannah. An arrangement of this sort, will be calculated to facilitate the intercourse between the up-coun try of Georgia and Savannah.— Macon Tele graph.

EVANS’ CELEBRATED SOOTHING SYRUP, for Children Cutting their Teeth.- This infallible remedy has preserved hundreds of chil dren, when thought past recovery, from convul sions. As soon as the Syrup is rubbed on the gums, the child will recover. The preparation is so innocent, so efficacious and so pleasant, that no child will refuse to let its gums be rubbed with it. When infants are at the age of four months, though there is no appearance of teeth, one bottle of the Syrup should be used on the gums, to open the pores. Parents should never be without the Syrup in the nursery where there are young children'; for if a child wakes in the night with pain in the gums, the Syrup immediately gives ease, by opening the pores and healing the gums; thereby preventing convulsions, fevers, &c. Sold only at Dr. Wm. Evans’ Medical Office, 100 Chatham street, New York, where the Doctor maybe consulted on all diseases of children. PROOF POSITIVE OP THE EFFICACY OF Dr. EVANS’ SOOTHING SYRUP.—To the Agent of Dr. Evans ’ Soothing Syrup: Dear Sir—t he great benefit allbrded to my suffering infant by , your Soothing Syrup, in a case of protracted and i painful dentition, must convince every feeling pa rent how essential an early application of such an . invaluable medicine is to relieve infant misery and . torture. My infant, when teething, experienced • such acute sufferings, that it was attacked witq 1 convulsions, and my wife and family supposed that r death would soon release the babe from anguish. . till we procured a bottle of your Syrnp ; which as soon as applied to the gums, a wonderful change was produced, and after a few applications the . child displayed obvious relief, and by continurug in its use, 1 am glad to inform you the child has com pletely recovered, and no recurrence of that awful complaint has since occurred; the teeth are ema nating daily and the child enjoys perfect health. I give you my cheerful permission to mako this acknowledgment public, andwill gladly give any information on this circumstt nee. WM. JOHNSON. TONIC PILLS. —The power of Evans ’ Camomile ’ Pills are such, that the palpitating heart,the trem ulous hand, the dizzy eye, and the fluttering mind, ’ vanish before their effects like noxious vapors be fore the benign influence of the morning sun.— They have long been successfully used for the cure of intesmittents, together with fevers of the irregu lar nervous kind, accompanied with visceral ob structions. 'this tonic medicine is for nervous complaints, cueral debility, indigestion and its consequences, or want of appetite, distension of the stomach, acid ity, unpleasant taste in the mouth, rumb.ing noise in the bowels, nervous symptoms, languor, when the mind becomes irritable,desponding, thoughtful, melancholy, and dejected. Hypochondiiacism, con sumption, dimness of sight, delirium, and all other nervous affections, these pills will produce a safe and permanent cure.
