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

On Motion of Mr. Walker, the Secretary of ]

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.

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.
A loafer who calls his name John Ellis, stole
a cap worth three dollars from one of our citi
zens on Wednesday last was arrested the same
day—the court being in session, a true bill found
against him—was tried, and convicted—and the
next morning was sentenced to the Penitentiary
for two years ! Were justice always as prompt,
we should have fewer loafers. Query, why is
that divinity always blindfolded 1 It strikes us
in these times at least, Justice ought to be wide
a vake, and have both eyes open.— Macon Tele
graph, 19 Ih ult.
Packet Dat.—This is a busy day with the

among them the British Queen, with about 40
passengers—a full freight, and $400,000 in spe
cie. Most of the packets take out specie, but
not more than has come in during the last 30
days.— N. Y. Star of Monday.

A REAL BLESSING TO MOTHERS.
DR IV. 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.

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.
Evans’ Camomile Pills were first introduced into
America in 1835.
EVANS’ FAMILY APERIENT PILLS are
purely vegetable, composed with the strictest pre
. ersron of science and of art; they never produce
nausea, and arc warranted to cure the following
diseases which arise from impurities of the blood,
viz:— Apoplexy, Bilious Affections, Coughs, Colds',
Ulcerated Sore Throats, Scarlet Fever, Asthma, Cho
lera, Liver Complaints, Diseases oftheKidnies and
Bladder, Aflections peculiar to Females, and all
those diseases of wl atsoever kind to which human
nature is subject, where the stomach is affected.

cacy oj Dr. Wm. Evans’ celebrated Camomile and
, Aperient Anti-Bihous Pills,in alleviating afflicted
