Mr. BIBB said that there had been peculations upon former occasions about iKn nnnononial inn hlll" f I mpmhtTi fit bilP ot member lo interfere with unnecessarily. When the public mind had become quieted on this subject, he, for his own part, felt no disposition to render it again unquiet: because he did not believe that the compensation of members of Congress was too much. As an individual, he was unwilling to see legislation transferred exclusively to those who are able to defray their expenses at the seat of Government, and gning to and returning from it, out of their own private funds. Nor was he disposed, although he had great respect for many gentlemen of that fraternity, bowing to a member across the chamber to entrust legislation to the bachelors exclusively. Whilst these were his opinions on this subject, he must state that he would gladly see the measure as to the compensation of member of Congress, rest where it was placed at the time when the ferment, into which the public mind had been formerly pu' res peeling iUhad ceased. When he read tliat part of the bill referring to compensation, he was strongly impressed with the ioea that, according to his conception of the -econd section of the bill, relaiive to the payment of members who absented themselves from Congress, it deserved some correction. Mi. B. said, (and he begged leave to call the attention of gentlemen to this particular) that the bill declared that any member of Congress, who is not present in ine House, ot wnicn ne ma be. a member, at some time every da during the session, will not be entitled tc compensation for that day. To that rub he had the most serious objections: & his objections were founded not only on hi experience of the prpent sf-ssion ot Congress, but of former sessions, when, man) years ago he was a member of this body. The absence of a member he contended, was not evidence of his inattention to the public business. He was a member of a Committee of this House, and in that capacity had on one occasion during the present session to go to one of the offices for information for the Committee; yet, before he returned, the Senate had adj iiirned. He thought aj member under such circumstances ought not to be deprived of his compensation. He went, as he had before said, to one of the public ofTices, to obtain information to enahe met a Senator, who informed him that it had adjourned. Was he, under such circumstances, at all culpable? Hhad therefore felt it his duly to call 'the attention of gentlemen to this part of the bill, in order that if it should pass, thi3 section might be amended. Mr. B. fell himself constrained to say, however unccurteous it roicht seem. that the bill wa? unworthv to be a ub-i ict of h-mslation. Y be :rken op and passed,

had biatod enough to shew gentlme;-! i laces; and the bill for causing the norha'the2 J section of it deserved correc thern fvudarv line of Missouri to be iioi. The Siaate couH not, y terday, marked &f'r dividing the reservation of agree upon what pnriicular C .mmittee land in thai State amoeg the half breeds this bill ought lobe referred ?o. ! ap- of t Lie Sacs, and F x tribes of Indian?, pared there was no CVmimliet- of thisj Mr. Smith, of Maryland, from the

which It COUld be nronerlvi Uetened. tor these co-wj ieralions he 1 . MeJi-imoved its reference to a Select Commit tee Mr. NOBLE if.qMirt-d of the President what was th tiie of the bill; and being (informed, said that he thought it was entitled i4Au Act to retrench." The word rti jnchment," he said, should have least. He thought that the reference which the gentleman from Kentucky, (Mr. Bibb) proposed, went against his own arguments; for he said, that the bill was unworthy of notice: io which opinion he (IIr. N.) fully concurred. The bill was 7ioJ deserving of notice. For the last 14 years, during which time he had been a member of this body, this was the first time that a bill had been presented, which no member was willing to receive, and which could not be properly referred to any one of the thirteen Standing Committees of the Senate. A select committee was now proposed. Pie (Mr. N.) was strongly induced to think from the context of this bill, that it ought to be entitled "An Act to provide materials for stump orations on the first Monday in August next." He was there fore opposed to a reference of this bill to I'he provisions of this bill, as it passed the house of representatives, were given in note in the Palladium of fast week.

i select committee; he wr.r;!f d crplcs rf it to be made, that he might send one to each of his constituents, who miiiht then

call township meeting to instruct lim how he was to act. He was not afraid If the people, and he could say, tbpt the measures as that now under ccnsidt rii tion. Mr. N. concluded by moving lo division. Mr. HAYNE said, he had but one remaik to make on the question before ;he Senate. He thought it was otdy respectful to the body with which the bill originated,to refer it to some committee, in which, if it were liable to '.he objections fetaled, it might be so amerded or corrected, as to remove those objections. As the House had agreed that there was no appropriate committee to which it could be leferred, the usual course in such cases was, according to parliamentary rules, to appoint a select committee lor it. He therefore hoped that this motion would prevailMr. FORSYTH said, that a9 the House had yesterday, according to the best of his recollection, refused to refer the bill to a select committee, and that therefore such a motion was not now in order, he should move a reconsideration of that vote. The motion to reconsider was agreed to, and the bill was referred to a select commitee. The committee consists of Messrs, Bmn, Forsyth, Nobi.e, Hayne and Holmes. Thursday. Jan, 7. In the Senate, yesterday, Mi. Holme presented the petition of Sundry citizens of the State cf Maine, paying th abolition of Slavery i:i the District of Columbia. The bill authorising the retrocession on the part of the State of Illinoi s of a township of land, granted by the United States, for literary purposes, and the location of other lands in lieu thererof, va3 passed. The bill for the more distinct demarcation of the Northern Boundary Lina of the State of Missouri, and for the division among the half breeds of the Sacs and Fox tribes of Indians the reservat ion of land within that State; and the bill allowing the duties on fore'gn merchandize imported into Louisville, S? Louis, and other places on the Western Waters, to be secured and paid at those places; were respectively ordered, after being amended, to be engrossed for a third reading. In the House of Representatives, yesterday, sundry petitions were presentee1 and a great many resolutions otlered. After the hour appointed had expired, ;i number of resolutions were presented o:i leave, so that the hour for considering resolutions expired before the House called up the unfinished business of yestorda) ; the resolution of Mr. Hunt, ant the amendment of Mr. Martin. Mr. Hunt has the floor for tc-morrow in continual tion of his speech of Tuesday. The House then resolved itself into a Committee of the Whole, on the contested election between Thomas D. Arnold and Pryor Lea. Mr. Arnold addressed the House in support of his claim, until the hour of adjournment. Friday, Jan 8. The Senate yesterday passed the bill to increase fbe pension of Major Charles Larabee; the bill for the relief of the Mavor and rily Council of Baltimore; i the bill allowing the duties on foreign merchandize imported into Louisville.
