The elements of sectional strife Appeared, at its very outset, to have combined, by distracting ana aiviuing me Nationnl Councils, to arrest the progress of public affairs ; and for several months, seemed to threaten to "reduce the Govern ment to inaction and imbecility, through the failure of Congress to pass the annual bills necessary to keep it in operation. The political atmosphere within the walls of the Capitol became so exciteu mat me conflicts of inflamed passion ana preju dice might, without much exageration, be compared to the storm of a few nights ago when the incessant flashes of lightning from cloud to cloud kept the natural at mosphere for some time in such a blaze, as to blind the keenest vision, and, with the accompanying roar of Heaven's ar tillery, to strike with awe, if not with fear the stoutest hearts. But to all such con flicts, political ;as well as atmospherical, however menacing, there must be a term. Certain questions being at length disposed of, both Houses of Congress vere happily restored to a frame of mind adapted to the transaction of business, and have worked steadily at it during nearly the whole of the short remainder of the sesion. Something even more favorable may be said of the effect upon Congress of those measures of compromise, as styled by some pacification, as called by others which had stilled the storm. The spirit of Conciliation has shed a visible influence in regard to almost every question of leg islation which has been since agitated, over, the members of tbe two Houses of Congress, who will in turn, it may be trus teddiffuse it among the constituencies to whose bosom they are about to return. Tbe night of Saturday being the last on which any bill could pass Congress, so as to be in a state to be presented to the President of the United States for his ap probation, both Houses sat late, in a trial of physical strength on a contest between them on disagreeing votes uppn one or two amendments to the Civil and Diplo matic Appropriation bill ; a contest which did not terminate until four o clock in the morning of the Sabbath, when absolute and they will know that there are ninety- the UVi4.WiUui! iiine'chances against, to one in favor of road should be Salem instead of SaliBu their leaving their masters- and reaching believe il would not be'teriouslv rpi.tijt in this section who my have, at one tL' is bed hopes of increased commercis.1 ' a snot where our present law cannot reach them Nor will this law prove beneficial to the-Southern States alone.

THE GALPHIN CASE. After all the outcry of the Locofocos about the Galphin case, thy could not finally get rid j of it without being brought to condemn them j selves. They alleged that it was a grand swindle on the Government, and even up to the present, occasionally indulge a strain of abuse against General Taylor's administration mak ing that ihe ground work of the assault. The fact is, so many of their party had, in former years, robbed the Treasury, ihe Galphin case was, and is, viewed by them as a sort of good Providence, since they imagined thai it placed in their hands a weapon to combat, those who were wont to throw up to them the Rices, Har rises, and Swartwouts. But as remarked above, they were not able to gel rid of the Galphin case without con demning themselves : Mr. Crawford, conscious of his integrity, and resolved to submit to no stain upon his character, petitioned the House of Representatives to pass a resolution to bring suit against him for the recovery of the money which he as Secretary of the Treasury, paid on this Galphin claim. The resolution passed the House almost unanimously. It went to the Senate and there the Locos killed it. Frsnklonian !

Late on the same evening the bill, which had previously passed the Senate, granting land bounties to soldiers of for mer wars, received the sanction of the House of Representatives, and may be considered as law. This bill may be re garded, fbrm tbe amount of public lands, which it disposes of as one of the nost important acts of the session. We shall not fail to give to our readers the earliest possible account of all the bills which shall have become laws. Of these measures which appeared to us imperatively to demand legislative in terposition, but which have failed to re ceive it, it was the great subject of the de pressed condition of the Manufactures of the country- that of Iron especially re quiring a modification of the Tariff; and the River and Harbor bill, tbe passage of - 1 wnicn was que to tne great interests and wants of the West, hitherto not sufficient " Mr. Crawford proposed to waive all technical difficul ties, and to try the question purely on its merits. If the Court should decide that the claim waa not legal, he stood ready to refund the money. If the decision should be in his favor, then no one could longer doubt the propriety of the payment of the interest. Might not cne have supposed, that the Locofoco party would jump at so fair a chance to get back into the Treasury the large sum of $180,000, which they cry out, from Dan to Beersheba, was illegally paid away 7 They have no doubt upon the point, (that is, if we may believe what they say,) that the money was illegally paid. Mr. Crawford proposes to refer the question to their own tri bunals; and yet, strange to say, with a perfect assur ance that the money ought to be recovered, they refuse to allow the suit to be brought ! The resolution was laid on the table, 27 votes to 25. This is as complete a confession of hypocrisy, and of gross injustice to an in dividual, as ever came under my observation. As a mere matter of pecuniary concern, the people ought to call those to account who assert that the government has been cheated out of 8180,000, and yt refuse to take any step to recover the money. The case was ably and eloquently presented by Messrs. Ewing, Dawson and Badger, but all would not do. The party could not spare so. potent a humbug as the Galphin business has proved, and so it would not do to put it in the Courts, where a just and conclusive decision could be had, and the impudence and falsehood of Looofooo pretence be exposed. For my own part, I thmk the only parties whom Mr. Crawford wronged, were himself and the Whig party and that by the indelicacy of receiving even a just claim, while he himself was in the Cabinet."

Now if the devil gets into a man when he is under the influence of liquor, and often drives him to tbe commission of crime, will any one pretend that his majesty would lose so good an opportunity to do mischief as not lo walk into Congress when the door is laid open for him ? Will any one believe that once in he would not do all the mischief he could? We should really feel mortified and disgrac- ed if the members of our National Legislature conduct themselves in this manner ; and as we would not employ a drunken man to do busi ness in the common affairs oflife, so we should unhesitatingly decline sending such an one charged with tbe important business of Legis lation. Those of them who either on that or any other occasion while in Congress got drunk, ought to be expelled repudiated at home disgraced every where, and consigned to his own private affairs. Alabama is on the right track. We ndici that ihe Alabama and Tennessee River Rul Road Company, have advertised for contndi for iron rails to be made ol Alabama ore. They state that there is plenly of ore andccal in ihe country lo be traversed by ibe road. That is ihe way to work out Southern indepes. dence name and a p!ace-self.repect, asi the respect of others. Murder. We learn by a gentleman Ooo Wadesborough, N. C, tbat Mr. J. D. Smith, of that town, was killed there on Mondtj Un by a man named Morrison. Smith, it is said, was talking to the man about bis drinking, tsd threatened to discharge nim from his employ if he did not abstain from drink. Morrison be came enraged, and threw a hatchet at Sroii. It struck him ontbe bead and broke bis skull He died in about two hours. The law lo abolish tbe slave I ride ia lbs District of Columbia, is thus eipeessed : "I: shall not be lawful to bring into tbe District of Columbia any slave whatever for the purpeti of being sold, or for the purpose of being pish ed in depot, lo be subsequently transferred l any other Stale or place, to be sold as mercUs dize." 0" Instead of Barnum having o pay bad for Jenny Lind, il is stated that the proprietor ol the Irving House, ibe crack Hotel lo St York, paid 81000 for the privilege of eater laining her I ins S3 PLANK ROAD.
