On motion of Mr. MARTIN, the Speaks; was i directed to inform the Governor ol Alabama, that J n vacancy had occurred in the Representation of that State. 1 The Executive has at last been obliged to ap- 1 p roach Congress with a Special Message asking i for a supply of money! To such a stale of desli- 1 tulion have the bunglers charged with the Admi nistration of the Government, brought the puMte W Treasury. The President transmitted a statement ' from his Secretary from which it appears that tho credit of the Government is in immediate danger. It is suggested that the permission to reissue tho Treasury Notes, which have been returned would relievo it from present embarrassment and Con, jrreas is earnestly called upon to act without delay upon some measure of rcliel for the Government* After the Message and Documents wore read' Mr. CAM DUELING said that if the privilege c|uestion (connected with the Duel repot ts, &o.) was not disposed of, he would in the course o( the day move for a suspension of tho rules fur the purpose of going on with the Public business, and particularly the Treasury Note Dill. Mr. UNDERWOOD, who was entitled to the floor on the privilege question, said that if Mr. GAMDRELING and his friends would consent to postpone indefinitely tho consideration of the Duel Reports and thus get rid of that matter alto gether ho would consider his Speech suppressed, and would make tho motion for an indefinite postponement. Mr, CAMBRELING Baid that motion would jfself open up the whole subject for debate. Ho would therefore move lo suspend the rules now in order to proceed with the public bills, Mr GRAVES instantly rose and remonstrated against that course. He insisted that it was hut j a lair act of justice lo him that the trial should be . finished. He wished no delay, but he protested against arresting the proceedings at ibis stage. He moved a call of the Houso w hich was ordered, but before it was finished, Mr Catnbrcling with drew his motion to suspend, and Mr Underwood then rose and addressed the ll*ause at length in ; support of the motion to recommit the icpott with instructions to report the facts, and evidence without comment or argument. When he fin ished Mr Thomas moved lo lay (ho whole sub ject on the table, and print the reports. A divi m Hioii of the question beingjtalled for the first 9 branch of the motion was agreed to—ayes 102, nays 72. Ho the report was ordered to lie on the table. The question then recurring on the mo, tion to print, a call of the House was asked, but the House refused it. The motion was also sub divided, and first the question was put on print. , ing the reports only, which was carried ayes ■ 125, nays 78. So at last tho subject has veen i disposed of. The House immediately adjourned. In the Senate to-day Mr. Webster presented t jifport and resolution adopted by the Legislature I >1 Massachusetts in relation to the Ninth Eastern . >oundary which were ordered to he printed and aid on the table. Mr. WEBSTER declared his intention, when he subject should come up, to ask the consldera ion of Congress to the true state of the question tow pending between Great Britain and the United Slates and its great and increasing im portance. The Message from the President and the com munication from the Treasury Department which I have already noticed were received in the Sen ate and referred to the Commute of finance. Mr. DAVIS from the Committee on Commerce presented a report on improvements in the con struction of Light Houses. The act for die erection of a Hospital in Wash ington, for the insane and f.r disabled and infirm persons, was read a third time and then postpon ed to the first Monday in December, on the ex piessed ground that in tiro present condition of the Treasury no additional charge on it should ho cieated ! The vote was, Aves 215 Nays 20. The hill to .ill the bonds id the United titutes Bank was then taki n up, read a thin! t ime, pas sed without any discussion, and sent to the House for concurrence. The bill to extend the charters of certain Banks in the Disl, id of Columbia was next con sidered. Mr BENTON was against it of course, and I offered an amendment to strike out all after the enacting clause, and introduce a substitute to extend the charters to March 1839, on condition that they cease issuing notes under five dollars at once—that they redeem in specie all their own notes of five dollars after July next —and they cease in January next to receive the notes of all non-resuming banks. A long, desultory debate arose on this proposi tion. The Senate adjourned without coming to any decision. M. Mu. Editor, —I ask of you ihe favor of pulu fishing the enclosed article, preceded by the re marks of a correspondent of the Charleston Mer cury. Your compliance with this request will doubtless be approved by many of your readers. A ScrnsciauKU. To the Hon. (1. W. Jones & 11. A. Wise. Gentlemen. —In asking your attention, as [ would respectfully, to this communication, I feel tinder no necessity- of* apologising for the freedom thus assumed. The course you have taken justifies it,—The life of the lamen ted Gilley cannot be recalled. The wound inflicted on a once happy, but now mourning domestic circle cannot be healed. The foul stain cast on our common and beloved coun try cannot speedily be washed away. Lightly as you may regard, coolly as you may treat them —these are melancholy truths, and they warrant the humblest citizen in addressing you in the language of a just reproach. It may seem to you severity, hut from the nature of the case, you . must boar it. “You must pardon something to the spirit” of aggrieved, injured humanity. You say you were “reg ulated by magnanimous principles, and the laws of humanity.” S.rs, you must know, that to men who act on other principles than those you have shewn, yourselves to possess, it is disgusting to meet with such a statement from such a source. —The facts of the case are before tho world —they speak louder than words, and they speak of murder. The de cision of the great body of the people to whose bar you arc held to answer, is, as you well know, against you—it has been expressed in terms not to be misunderstood. Birch, doubt less, will ho the decision of posterity; for Lire world is not, we hope, destined to retrograde —and such, it is fearful ta think, will bo the decision at that bar of infallible justice, before which we shall all appear, to give an account, of the deeds done in the body. The remarks which follow, appeared originally in a journal published in New York—one of the most ably conducted of any in the country. You may spurn them from you—but this will not be the part of wisdom. I will only add the, expression of the wish, prompted, 1 may sin cerely say, by feelings of kindness, that yon may see the error into which you have tal en and do all that may lie in your power to re pair, as far us possible, the injury you have clone. With the respect which belongs to yon as representatives of the people in the councils of onr common country'. 1 have the honor to be, Your’s, &.n. GIVIS. Charleston, S. C., May 7, 1888. The Duei.oist’s desire —We copy with unqualified commendation, the following re buke of the Congressional duellists, by the ed itor of the New York Observer. It is as well done as their demerits can deserve. Misera ble men arc they, who have at once imbrued thoit bands with blood, disgraced their eleva ted stations, done dishonor to their country, and excited universal indignation.—North and South, ihe horrible affair is execrated Gy all h'ghmindod men: duellists themselves join ing with their more sober and religious neigh, hours in calling it by its right name,murder. The seconds of the file duel have publish ed at-’, dement of the facts in tie cat; -, which tney conclude with these words : ‘•Wo endeatored to discharge our duties according to that code under winch the par ties met, regulated by magnanimous princi ples, and the laws of humanity.

Do so, in any shape,—in any hour, — With any torture, so it ha th last. “The last ot it!” Du they think their statement will be “the loot, of ii” to the man whom they have sent, unprepared, to the eter nal world! We say, unprepared; lor in case of suicide, we may hope there was insanity, when men are executed for murder, we imiy hope there was repentance; hut he who falls in a duel, dies in the very performance of an ' act, inconsistent, with preparation for heaven; 1 dies in the very act of defying God ami ma king himself more (it for hell, and more wor thy of its torments. Do they think this will he “the last of it” 1 to the widow of their victim? Will herans ] guish he appeased, will her heart he made whole, will the very remembrance that she ever new the happinessof conjugal attention , be blotted out, hy this cool history, given hv , men whom she has such cause to remember? 1 Will this itc “the last of it” to the orphans, whom their crime has made orphans? Can they forget to whom they are indebted for the countless dangers, and trials, and suflbrings, which must be the portion of the fatherless? Cun they—ought they—to cease to remem ber who opened the incessant fountain of their mother’s tears? And while orphans suffer, and the bereaved weeps, ami the soul of the murdered dwells where you have sent it, shallyou be allowed to hear “the Jasl of IE” It may not bo. Eternal justice cannot suffer it. The remembrance of your deeds must ' haunt you. Conscience.-boil interpret every thing into ?.n accusation. When men fasten 1 their Cyes upon yon, you shall think that they remember Gilley. When they speak in whig- 1 pets, you shall think they arc talking of him. When they speak indefinitely,you shall sus pect that they allude to his murderer. When they are silent, you ahull believe that they re- , pres- their indignant recollections purposely. - Every work of Clod, and every deed of man, . shall he to yon an accuser. Your own con- , sciousnoss of what you have done is as im- . mortal and ns inseparable from yourselves, us any other attribute of your souls, and shall be your everlasting remembrancer. Such is the penalty cf crime. Cain ex pected to find an accuser and an avenger in every one whom ho should meet; and Jones and Wise pray, but it will bo in vain, that their words may be “the last of it.” Proclamation. , the State of Sooth OaiioliVa: By His Excellency PIERCE M.

Ihe advance of returning prosperity. Tho belief ( now aiming our most eminent financiers is, that , he will resume either with the New York-H.mkii, r t or take a few weeks to share with them in their j specie, and sell his hills, drawn on cotton ship tnonls. In this case, the cotton under his direc tion in England must he forced into ihe market and a great crash in prices will be the cense- ‘ quence, to the injury of the Planters and Missis- 1 sippi hanks, and through whom ho will sustain j some loss from over advances, hut trilling in com parison with that which will he the result nt n c dill’erent course. It is evident that, M r . Biddle 1 lias mistaken his Course from tho beginning with 1 tegaid to the resumption of specie payments. — ( He should have been among the first to clamor 1 for an early resumption, and have monopolized f the honor thereof; —this would have placed his i hank on such fooling, at home and abroad, that t nothing could have withstood its influence, or cm- ( harruss its finances, as credit is money to any I amount. In this point of view he is hourly h>. I sing ground, and nothing can induce his present i course lint an apprehension of his inability to per form. The demand for specie will not ho half so great as many may imagine, but lie it what it 1 may, Mr. Biddle’s only course is to meet and 1 pay it.

J fnlt Uiul I was doing good.” We yesterday adverted in a few words to the principle which in our opinion should characterise any law (h it may he enacted for the regulation of steam boats-, and the pun* iahment of those connected with them, in ca ses of disaster. It lias been amd by those whs would offer an apology for the apparent dm* regard nf human life so often manifested, that it arises in a measure from the iiißligan lions of passengers, who. incite (he comuian ders and entreat of tiieru not to permit their vessels to lie beaten. The apology is of it* self 100 weak to bo entitled to a moment's con sidomiion, as, however reckless of consequen ces some of those on board innv be, fie ma jority ami more respectable portion ol travel lf is cannot certainly be so regardless of tlicir own safely and that nf their families as to re commend racing at the risk of their lives. Ik this as it may, the proper source to winch to look for a remedy of the evil is to prnpric. tors, and in order to make the appeal effectu al penalties must bo made to apply to their purses. We euro not how hot headed cap. tains may be, under the impulse of compete lion, or how regardless some passengers may lie nt the security ol theinselvis and others, when a foolish spirit nf rivalry is excited: if the owners were made liable m heavy dama ges for any injuries tint might occur, wo will ! answer lor :L that an end will kioii he put ' in steam boat disasters. V, c presume that no well-founded doubt can ! exist as to the power of (Jungi to pass a law i lor the protection ol the lives and property of ■ I emu boat Handlers, us these vessels belong lo dip commercial mniine of die country, and there i loro come fairly within the powers delegated to that body. In da 1 ease ol tj.c .Moselle, there ap* i pears lo liuvp been the most'erirninal disregard to j lbn safely of passenger*. That a steam Vessel I should In' brought up to the wbail'and there de j laved until persons could go on board, without j taking the precaution el letting die sleain escape, j is an extent of hardihood in the highest degree I reprehensible. To those who may have observ ed the rapidity with which steam is generated whni the (ire's are up, the criminality id such an net will at once he evident, and that die cense* (|uoaces ol it must have been as they turn oul, could not have been unknown to iho mostexpe iienred. There is 100 great a disposition to find apologies for parlies implicated when these oc curences take place. According lo die old En glish law, if a pci son discharged a loaded gun into a street thronged with persons passing, al though he might aim it at no individual, crimi nality of intention was inferred from a knowledge of dm fact that it was a thoroughfare, and the par ly was punished accordingly. Most assuredly the probability of injury te human life in this case is very small compared with that in the case of a steam boat explosion, where so many lives must he lust in the event of its lulling place. Mem bers ol Congress should lake it under considera tion how hir.lhey are morally accountable for these accidents, as they are termed, when, having the power to put a slop lo them, they fail to do so.— Halt, Jlmericun, [con Till CIIIIOMCI.E AMI SK.VCINBI,.] Mn.
