(Correspondence of the Savannah Georgian.)
WASHINGTON, March 11
The Senate haa taken a holiday unto itself this
morning, having refused to agree to Billy Rives'
proposition, of granting an rxtro compensation to
some halfduien Fetleial Cleiks of that body, who
gel $1400 per annum for about three month'* aervL
cea. Tbe enurmoua amount annually expended
for "contingent" expenses in the Senateanri Home,
it truly alarming, and notwithstanding scvornl ef*
forts have been made to rut it down by the Com-
mittres, curb member seem* afield to "put tho hall
in motion" for retrenchment. I am told that offices
nominally worth a low hundred per annum, hy
meant of "perquisites," or whnt I* vulgarly culled
’stealings,’realise to tho holder* na mnny thousand*.
A coniingant fund of some quarter of a million o'
dollar* is placed nt tbo disposal of the Sccretaty o'
the Senate and Clerk of tho House at each session
ol Congress, and as n consequence, Undo Sam hu*
to pay pretty dear for hi* whittle. Not that I would
iu.inuate aught ogtinst tho re*|K'ctnble pcrtotiagoa
who hold these offices, but it it n truism tvldch need*
no argument, that a man cun generally bo mare libe
ral with another’s money thua with hit own. Such
affair* u» hack hire, coloring tr.npa, Arc. though ap
parently amall in themselves, are made to assuma u
considerable figure in tlieto expense* And now,
at Spooney Ogle's ocenpaliou'* gone, l think it
be ua wall for tome oun of his calibre in
Corgrcat. to give ua nn inventory of tho "contin
genciea" of both Hou-es,especially as "small potu.
toe*’’ are th* order* of the day.
The Cabinet Council itshlinr every day, nnd np
pointing their friends to such offices at. wero vara,
ted on the 3-1 March, which Mr. Van Bureti, in
contradistinction to the cxumplo of Ids predcresaar,
Mr. Adams, who appointed until miJnight, refused
to tend in nomination* for. Tho rejected Itepn •
tentative of New York city, Mr. Ogden Hotfman,
haa received the office of Dfotrirt Attorney there,
vice R. F. Butler,resigned. Thia is in atrict keep,
ing with Whig precept and practice, for it w ill be
remembered that when Mr. Nile# was appointed
Post Master General, tho whole Federal preas
proclaimed that rejection by tho people, was a
sure paaaport to Executive favor! And yet here is
• moat flagrant instance; and if report speaks true,
another of the great rejected from the city of G
tham. ia to be mode Collector of tho port.—I allude
to Mr. Edward Curtis. Some any that the pure
conservative, Mr. Nicholas I*. Tallmttdge, of the
Senate, ia in rather distressed circumstances, nnd
would be happy with either office, merely for the
purpose of giving Gevernor Seward au opportunity
of eomirg to tbe U. S. Senate The poor comer•
vative* Kate been treated very badly—not n crumb
haa been given one of them yet, and I am afraid
that some of them will be for turning about ngain.
Some who came here with Id-h aspirations, have
borne aimilar to tbe wedding guest of tho dua-
dent Mariner,
*• Like him that hath been atunx'd.
And ia of aenao forlorn,
A sadder and n wiser man
To riao tbe morrow morn."
Nothing positive U yet known of the decision of
th Cabinet,in regard to the care of McLeod. One
thing teem* pretty well understood, however, that
At will nei it given up, all Mr. Fox’s high flown
la to the contrary, notwithstanding. Should
II. B. Majesty’* Minister demand bis passports,
aa haa been stated, and then—probably Loui* Phil

Captain Wood, nf tlm Steamer Cherokee, on

Fire.—Betwcon twelve and ono o’clock, l\ M .
yrslerduy, our ciiy wn*thrown into some confusion,
by tlieulartn of fire, which was discovered to pio
reed fiom tho re#idenco of Mr. Samuel Ciatk.once
Green street. The fire rommenced iu tile rtluf, pro
bnbly from u spark, nnd ore tho engine* could foi
got to operate upon it, had mdile considerable pro
gress, nnd serious fears were certained for the pie
servalion of any portion of tbo building. But by
the ibdnrfiilahle perseverance of tbe firemen, lha
progress of the (hires wns arrested before it bad
entirely consumed tho roof, saving the entire body
of thobuildin;, upon which there was nn insurance
more than sufficient to cover the loss. The loss of
Mr Clark wai therefore limited, nt it wn# confined
to tha injury sastnlhed an his furniture in removing
it from tlio building to the street.
Too much praise cannot he bestowed upon the
firemen for the promptness with which they repair
ed to tbo icone of danger, and lliu skill and self
posreision displayed by them in extinguishing the
lire. Nor can we omit tn notice the efficient aid
afforded by the draymen, in supplying the engines
with water, which was, in thu highest degree, cro
ditoble to them.—Chronicle «J- Sentinel, 15Ihinst.

remove tho gifted Historian, it would have rendered
him more famous in history, than any other Individ
uni act ho could have performed. But his fame
would havo been, that not to be envied by any

It U Byron, we think, who remarks that crimes
are epidemic, and that Strangs and almost inexpli
cable rogueries will become fashionable for a time.
If so, General Harrison’o solicitors should bears
wary eye, and have steel traps in their pocket*.—
A few days since an applicant for office, one who
h id journeyed with this intent ot for as Baltimore,
crammed with letters, testimonial# ond credentials
calculated to further his object, had hem all ab
stracied from hi* pouch by tome remorseless villain,
and was loft to carry on operations ns he could with
out the sinews of war. This incident should cer
tainlyfiad a plnco i > Hoffman's "Harritoniana,"
and tire subjoined might follow i: as illustrating a
more legitimate hut scarcely less annoying mode of
extracting rha comentsof pockets, practised in In
auguration times.
Extortion.—A gentleman who visited Wa.hing
ton to witness tho Insuguratioh, says tha very worst
extortion was practised jlrera. Hia friend was
charged $1 for sleeping two )rour* on a sofa; l o
paid himself $2,50 for a bed; and many other#, lie
w.i# informed, were compelled to pay 85 for a
night’s lodging? Thi# must he charged to Tippeat
noe glorification.—North American.
The National Intolligencor should speak lo thi*
mutter. If wo are not greatly deceived in our recnl
lection#, It, "Inn fine phrenry," invited all lire
w hi K » to see the (nmigaratiun, promising them a
generous and cordial welcome and pretty goodie
commndatlon*. Now according toournorions/thero
Is neither gerwroalty nor cordiality in sleeping peo
pin St anch c»aily rate*, especially when a man Is
required to find the ale»p himself ami it only for

Flag ortho free 1 still bear thy away,
Undimm’d through ages yet ont»ld;
O'er earth's proud realms thy stars display;
Like morning's radiantctduda unrolforf.
Ping of die skies! still peerless shine,
Through oilier*, azure vault unfurled,
TUI every hand ondheart entwine,
To awrtp repression from the world.
Thia Institution is one nf the moat deadly hostility,*^

We have felt it incumbent onus, as public journal^ TT]
Ists, to disabuse tho public mind, by ascortnining,
for publication, the original coat uf the bridges in k .
lured;
Wo must premize) however, that the bridges a-
broil tho Great Ogecheo and Buckhead Creek,
were piled bridgui. Their pilings, we ore gratified
to loaru, stand firm, but their superstructure haa
been moved off by tlio water. This portion of the

The bridge across the great Ogecheo river,
cost |3000.

$4500

from Savannah, which cost $4000, we learn, ia not

The cost of repairing the bridges will not, it ix
believed, exceed the sum of $2000.
We dan assure tlio public that tho cost of repair

LECTURES OF THE GEORGIA HISTORI

Rev. H. F. Harrington's Lecture.
Tho course of lecturoi which the Georgin Hislp-
torical Society ha* undertaken lo furnish the public,
through its members, hu# so far boen highly suc
cessful, and has reflected very great credit on those
gentleman who have delivered them.
The Iccturool Tuesday evening, by tho Rev. Hen

the reputation of tho Society did not suffer in his
hands. He chose for his subject "Tho Romance
of American Hiitoiy," an I mast admirably did bis
matter nnd manner coincide. Hi* exordium was
eloquent in the highest dugruo. Ho commenced
by alluding to tho severe ityio which History had
been condemned to assume, and to tho entire re
straint which was impound Upon tha imagination of
tho birtoricel writer, far, to quote his words, "the
muse of history has been studiously exiled from tho-
glowing, tho bright, nnd the beautiful, nnd hand irv
hand with matbemntlcsj that thoughtful browed and
unpoelic sage, been compelled to move with meas
ured step, hopeless to tread where charming flowers
might bloom honnutli her feet."
Afier ruling that "the loftiest scope of the idee)
is with the existent and the material," he proceeded;
to pdrirny in glowing language, the characteristic
which he thought ought to distinguish tho historian,

h-Cturer, "should Be added oil tbo fervor and eleva
