^T)Mr. R. M. Johnson offered the following
rf>clutiou:
^Mo/rfd, That the Committee on the Dls
ctot Columbia, be instructed to inquire into the
i*uieacy of abolishing imprisonment for debt.
*■ ^°hnson wished, he said, to be permitted
®aite a few remarks in explanation of the
resolution. The reason why he
un traced the whole UmteJ State in the
4or.“,0'« Wds> that it was found impossible to
witbom producing great dissatislaction in
|ffl States which were not willing to abolish
fir'sJlmeut He would also state the
' "*t, it was found impossible to induce Con
Cg tu d^ Jhsh the capius ad sat. in the Federal
er h ^ ,ndmg this to be the case, his next ob
Which*K been l° l'roVlde that ,n those States
it)* .• s{l0uld abolish ihe ca. «u. the process issu
8 l^e Federal courts should be inopera
tive. As long as Congress delayed to make this
provision, he states could only abolish Imprison
ment for debt sub modo. The States which had
made the attempt had failed in it for the reason
that the State law could not control the process
of the Federal courts.
Permit me, said Mr. Johnson, to remark that
the great error in legislation upon the hazardous
usage ol Imprisonment for Debt, lies in the un
willingness of legislative bodies to abolish the
ca. su. totally, absolutely, and without reserva
j tion. .They make some exceptions, as in case
of fraud, which prevents the total abolition of
the abuse. The gallant State which you, sir,
(said Mr. J. addressing the Chair) represent, has
abolished imprisonment for debt, except in
case of fraud. The State to which 1 belong—I
am proud to state the fact—lias abolished it en
tirely and unconditionally. The law has been
in operation for twelve years, and I will venture
to assert that millions have been paid by debtors |
under that humane system, and that it has been 1
found more beneficial to creditors and less pro- j
ductive of fraudulent insolvency than the barba
rous system of coercion formerly practiced.—
One word for the District of Columbia. This
is the metropolis of the Union. To this place
annually resort a large number of our Citizens,
| from every part of the country, in pursuit of
l business. The operation of this system might
| eventually, be productive of great distress here.
He wished, therefore to have it settled, under
stood and placed upon the Statute Book, that
there shall be no imprisonment for debt within
the District of Columbia. This would be a fair
notoe to all the parties concerned, both debtor
! and creditor.
It would, continued Mr. J., astonish any one
| who has not examined this subject to learn from
| the Reports of the Prison Discipline Society,
| and other sources, which he had examined,
I how vast was the amount of human misery
which grew out of »he savage usage of imprison
| ment lor debt. He should take some proper op
: portunity, if the House would allow him, to pro
d ce before them satisfactory evidence of the
I cruel operation of this law, which would asto
nish any one who pretended to call himself a
i Christian. The citizens of the District look to j
us for protection and enlightened and liberal le
gislation, as they have no legislature of their
own. He hoped the Committe would be allow
ed to take up the subject, and to consider the
propriety of abolishing the cn. su. entirely, or,
at least, for sums under fifty dollars, within this
District.
The* resolution was agreed to, new. com.

NEW YORK MARKET—Dec. 10.
A free business is doing in Cotton, though at
a decline at ^ cent Ib. from the prices of last
week: the sales this week of Uplands amount to
over 2000 bales at 15 a 17c. ib., and very good
lots are sold at 16c. Ib. and some North Caroli
na at 14c.; 209 New Orleans‘at 16| a 17£c. A
good deal of Cotton is shipping to Europe on
owners account. Flour rather droops and is
dull, some Western of the least desirable brands
has been sold at $4 88: Ohio and Troy 81,88;
Qld Northern Corn 70c., new 65 a 66., Mary
land 66c
Western hops 1st sort have been sold at 124
cts. Ib. which is a decline. 250 boxes white Ha
vana sugar have been sold at 11 cts. The mar
ket is generally in the same state as last week;
a few lots of hides have been received coastwise
which are eagerly sought for, and will probably
bring some advance on previous prices.

~R0i7lNS»'GENUINE TONIC MIXTURE,
Warranted a perfect and lasting cure for the
FEVER AND AGUE.
From Dr. Hamilton, of Philadelphia.
DEAR SIR: l will not withhold that I have
witnessed, with great satisfaction, many
eases of Fever and Ague, w’herein your Tonic
Mixture has been of unexpected and permanent
benefit, after the ordinary medicines were of
no more use than to effect temporary checks to
! the disease. The principles upon which you
have constructed your medicine, would be rea
! dily recosnizeil us in accordance with the sci
; ence of Physic, and the Fever and Ague always
admitting of one uniform mode of treatment,
your Mixture may be administered with its usu
i al advantage in every case of the complaint.
Respectfully, S. M. HAMILTON.
From the Baltimore Advertiser $ Gazette.

I I certify that Walter Reynolds, a young man
living with me, was for two years distressingly
afflicted with Fever and Ague; lost nearly a

to no purpose, lie was at last cured by taking
