MISCELLANY.
CONGRESS Yesterday.
Washington, Febuary-17. 1857..
In the Senate, after the transaction
of ihe usual morning business in the
presentation of memorials and of reports
i'rom the standing committees.' Air.
Seward introduced a" bill amendatdry
to the tariff act of 1846, which Mr. Ad
orns proposed- still further to amend by
attaching to it a clause providing that,
in lieu of the present impost of thirty
per centum paid in cash upon all im
ported railroad iron, the Postmaster
General be authorized to enter into con
tracts with railroad corporations, accord
ing lo which the said corporations,
shall bind themselves to pay, within
eight years after the completion of their
roads, the value of the amount of - such
imposts in the form of public service ren
dered to the Government by the trans
portation of the mails. By such an ar
rangement, argued JVlr. Aaams, the
United States woald receive a full equiv
alent for the revenues now gathered.
1'rom the duty on railroad iron, ai?8
newly-eslablished railroad companies
would be rclievfid from a heavy tax at
the very initiation of their interprise. -Ir.
Seward thought the proposition
was not germane to the bill he had in
troduced, and moved therefore to lay
the bill and its amendment on the ta
ble, which was carried. Mr. Evans
then called up a bill for life relief of-Dr.
Morrow, an attache of the Japan expe
dition, which led to a brief debate, par
ticipated in by Messrs. Slide II. Glay,
and Lallory, at 'the conclusion of which
he bill was passed with great unani
,mity. Mr. VVellcr, as chairman of the Committee-on
Military Affairs, moved dur
ing the session of yesterday to take up
tor consideration the bill lately passed
by the House of Representatives provid
ing for an increase of the pay of the offi
cers of the United Stato army. The
Senate, however, postponed the discus
sion of the bill until to-day, when: it will
be made the special rder after half-
past twelve o'clock. The justice and
propriety of this measure have already
been ynade so apparent by the debate
which was had in the House of Rep
resentatives, and have, moreove, been so
universally approved, by the popular
judgement, that we anticipate for the bill
a speedy passage in the Senate. B.
the members of no branch, perhaps, of
the public service is such an increase of
compensation more needed, as by none
surely is better deserved.
Mr. Hunter introduced a bill to au
thorize certain repairs to the Long Bridge
and the employment of steam ferry
boats for the transportation of the mail
and passengers. Some privileges are
grunted to the Alexandria and Wash
ington Railroad Company in considera
tion of the mail service. This bill is to
undergo the scrutiny of the Committee
on the District of Columbia ; but, from
the liberality - heretofore evinced by its
vigilant chairman (Mr. Brown) and his
colleagues ou that committee, we can
have no reasonable ground to fear eith
er delay or danger in regard to the sub
ject, brief as the time is for its conside
ration. r ,, ; , . . '( t - . ;
At half-past one o'clock the Senate
proceeded to hold an Executive session,
which engaged its deliberations until
the hour of adjournment. Q " ,
In the House of Representatives
the rules were suspended to allow Mr.
Washbume, of Illinois, to report from
the Committee on Commerce various
bills passed by the Senate for the im-
J provement of rivers and harbors. Mr
W. thereupon reported forty-five bills
of that character, which were referred
to the Committeee of the Whole He
also reported from the same committee
two bills making appropriations for
custom-houses and marine hospitals,
and one to provide for the survey of
the Ohio river and its princtpal tribu
taries, i Various adverse reports were
made from the same committee.
A message was received from the
Piesident of the United States covering
reports from the Interior and War. De
partments in relation to Indian affairs
in the Pacific States and Territories.'
Several, reports were received frota the
Court of Claims and referred.
The House then wentvinto-Commit
tee of the Whole on the tariff bill, (Mr.
"H. Marshall in the, chair,) when Mr.
Horton.' of Orrio, concluded his remarks
urging, upon Congress the propriety of
so regulating duties as. to benefit all the
great interests our own couutry, and noi
with a view to England .01 any other
country. He produced statistics to
show that the admission of wool duty
free would not injure the growth, or
manufacture , of that article. In all
other countries, both were increased.
Mr. Wakeman, of iew York, urged
harmonious action on the tariff. Grear
injury, he said, resulted from withhold
ing from general circulation it large
amount of the precious metals and the
great interests of the country were in
separable, and could only flourish to
gether. " All extremes' should be avoid

SENTENCE OF GAR ROTE RS.' SE-
vere Punishment. Peter Rowe. Jas. Kell,
and John Clark, who were convicted ef
g arroting and highwajr robbery, m New
York, on . Friday, were brought before
Judge Russell on Saturday, and sentenced
by htm in the following terms :
Peter Rowe, you are convicted cf high
war robbery. The evidence shows clearly
that on the night when this crime .was
committed, this man was watched by you
(rogn the house where1 he stopped, waylaid,
knocked down and ""robbed. The law
knows no higher crimp, except murder :
and it is probable that, if necessary to effect
.our escape or accomplish your purpose,
this crime also would have b en added tcr
your robbery. You have by crime forfeited
your liberty, not only for a period of years,
but for lifetime, at the discretion cf the
court 1 do not myself believe that the
feveretty of punishment produces the effect
for which punishment was intended so well
as the eertainty of punishment. If it is too
severe, though it may be in accordance
with the 8laiute, instead of producmg lhat
effect, it haa a contrary-tendency, by awak
ening sympathy in behalf of the criminal.
1 he sentence of he court in your case is
telve years and six months confinement
n the State prison.
James Kelly: There is something 'in
your case which shows a Uesperat on ol
character rarely displayed in 6ne of your
years, it seemr thai thongn there were
persons standing by they dared Hot arrest
you for fear of personal violence to them
selves afterwards. In the nighttime vou
followed this man, having by some means
ascertained that he. had money, and on the
public Highway, when surrounded by six
or seven persons, as.-aulted him and knock
ed him do n ; and though a person came
to his rescue ami raised him to his feet, af-
er he was lilted up you unbuttoned his
coat and robbed him. 1 do not believe lhat
in any other city in this countrv.nor in any
other ciy in the civilized world, 6 as pub
lic a place and under such circumstances.
such a crime could be perpetrated and the
perpetrator escape immediate arrest. But
wiih our eleven or twelve hundred police
men, it seems tnere was no one near 'o
protect the citizen and preserve the public
peace And though four able-bodied men.
;re present they dared not interfere to
prevent the robbery. - This speaks in a
language that catinot .be misunderstood -of
the -uty of our courts to rid the communit y
of such desperadoes. I sentence you fifteen
years and three months in the State prison.
John Ulark was then sentenced for ihe
same offei.ca to the State prison for ten
years and six months. The judge said he
should discriminate between Dim aud bis
associates, as' be exhibited less desperation
in the robbery. '
- FROM WASHiNGTON.
Washington, Feb. 16.--1 he War De
partment has received intelligence from
Gen. Wool, dated Benict, California, Jan'y
3d, eaying that peace and quiet prevail
throughout the department of the Pacific,
which he has no doubt will continue as
long- as the Indi. ns are treated with ordin
ary justice. The disposition of the troops is
such as not only to give protection to the
white settlements, bat to restrain the In
dians should they exhibit any intentions to
renew the war, which, from the information
he has received, be does not in the least
apprehend."
Among the fifty Senate bills reported by
Mr. Washburn, of Illinois, in- the House to
day, were three for the improvement of
Lake Michigan, the Hurlgate channel, the
Hudson and the Illinois rivers, and the
harbors of Providence, Cape Cod, Ct icago,
Erie and Michigan city. . The program is
to unite them all in one bill, in favor of
whichjt is ascertained there is alarere ma
jority Aut want of time may prevent the
consummation of this scheme,,
The witnesses from Western New York
in the corruption investigation are expected
ho arrive here to-night. If so the committee ;
win then meet to receive their testimony, j
The report is anticipated to-morrow, though
it may not be made tilt Wednesday. ' .
The Central American treaty was dis
cussed several hours to-day by the Senate
in executive session. ' its further consider
ation was postponed, by five majority, un
til the 5tb of March, the Senate at the
same time ratifying the extradition treaty
between the United btates an4 tha Nether
lands. It is not only India and China that want
silver to ao large an extent, but the demand
from Kuaaia and Austria for tfiia metal ta
of serious .inconvenience.
