'".: Colcmc, Mreh J, leao 'Dear Telegraph: Since out l&si letter the weather here has been clear, warm and genial as Mar. The blue-birds have found their way even into the city, and very tree iri the public grounds and JrlraWdoor yards is vocal with their -foil, sweet music. If they are the true - harbingers ,oft returning Spring, then is that season of joyous renovation at hand - -And as it approaches, the desire of mem . brs to return to their homos becomes tnoro intense, aid the determination to rwprk earnestly to complete the business of the . session is more manifest. The daily sessions now continue from nine t o'clock 'A. M., to six, or later, P. M., with an hour of intermission for dinner, while the committees work at night Still, with the most determined effort of . the real working members, the work, . from the necessity of observing the forms of proceedings, progresses slowly. A Legislative body is very much like swarm of bees. The unpretentious worker do the business, while the fussy buzzing is performed by the drones. A person unacquainted. with the habits of these insects, i the bees, we mean, not .legislators) and loosing at their move ments, as a mere spectator, would be led 'to' the conclusion that the noisv drones were the most important element in the economy of the hive. But a deeper in sight would reveal the fact that, instead f adding anything to. the common store, 'tfcey but obstruct the progress of the work, until they become so intolerable a nuisance that they are expelled from the hive. So it is here. After the commit tees have spent weary nights in perfect ing and putting into decent form the misshapen progenies of all kinds of brains, then 'commences the buzzing As sense is not required in Legislative speeches, it is not necessary that , the speech -makers' should investigate the subject under discussion. Indeed, it would be quite out of place to do so, for if the real question before the Qoube was understood by them, even the spouters themselves would see the utter incongru ity between the question and the speech to be delivered, and would be thus afaarued into silence. But as it' seems to be the mission of some gentlemen to talk, nd nothing else, it seems to be neoevsary that they be permitted to per form tliat mission. rItis amusing, however, to hear some gentlemen xejjeat the same stump-speech whiob. be used before the election, on all manner of hills that can be presented. Whether the bill be one- to suspend the School . Library, or sell the Public Works to hold an adjourned session, or build a new Penitentiary to encourage the catching of negroes, or, to prohibit the catching of fish to allow cities to borrow money, or to compel corporations to pay their debts to allow constables to administer oaths, or to repeal all laws requiring oaths to be administered to abolish capital punishment, or author ising the building of a bridge in Hamil ton donnty; in short, whatever th sub ject: no vote can be taken until the same eloquent gentlemen' have repeated the came stumr-peeches. But, after all, the speech nuisance is not without Its ad vantages. As no one isexpected to listen to them, the members have learned to, arrange their work so as to do up their correspondence while the gas is be ing blown -off. ' The' Convention on the first inst.,, was one of the largest and most harmonious and enthusiastic ever held in Ohio. Ev ery County in the State, exeept one or two, was fully represented. This, when it is remembered that there were no of- fit-ers to nominate, shows the interest taken in the coming Presidential elec tion by the Republicans of the State. I he business oi the Uonvention was simply to select four . delegates to the Chicago Convention. And this 'work was done, as we think, to the entire sat isfaction of all considerate men. The names of Horton, Carter, Spooner and Brbdbeck are so well known that they need no indorsement from us. They are wise, prudent, conservative men, who 'yg mill represent the honest sentiments of the people Ot the state. xney go to the Convention unpledged, and their respect ive characters are the highest guarantees which could be desired. It was the manifest sentiment of the Convention to select men in whom the whple people could place implicit confidence, and leave them free to act according to cir: enm stances. That such was the temper of the Convention is manifest from the men selected. Of our own, Hon. V. B. Horton, it is not necessary to speak to the readers of the Telegraph. He, al though living in Southern Ohio, will fairly and fully represent the sentiments of the Republicans of the State, . D. K. Carter is well known as an able, safe and sound Republican. ' He was the - chief competitor of Dennison for nomination for Governor in the last Re publican Convention, and although thought by many to be too conservative, will, without doubt, act for the best in terests of the party land the country. He rtlive3 . in he 1 .extreme ,.North.. Spooner was formerly a Dembcrat-r-is from Hamilton County, and is a true Re publican. When the American party was organized Spooner went into it and ' i was the first head of the order in Ohio. I I But as' soon as it was ascertained that V the organization was to be used for pro T"?criptive and pro-slavery purposes, he, with the gw ma8S f those in the free States, left it, and has- been -ever since pursued with the bitterest opposition ana hatred of the Democracy and. those who still maintain the Know-Nothing organ izations. He entered the campaign in 1855 for Gov., Chase in opposition to the ! candidate of the - American, as well as Democratic parties, and has ever since been an active and true. Republican. "The other Delegate Js JJrl Brodbeck, of Dayton. .He is a German of sterling worth and intelligence, and will fairly and ably represent that element of the" Republican party in the Convention . Upon the whole, we think no better men could have been selected. The Conven tion, although noisy, as such bodies nec essarily are, was perfectly harmonious, and the very, best of feeling prevailed throughout. ' The Convention indictated by a vote of 383 to 69 their preference for Gov. Chase as the Republican candidate for President; but, in a spirit of liberality, unusual on uch occasions, refrained from offering; or attempting to bind the delegates by, instructions. . The Statesman is greatly outraged be cause the Convention declined to accom modate it by a row or conflict of any kind, among themselves. 'It pours out a column of the lowest and most ' Vulgar billingsgate which' it has been our lot to see in print. The occasion of the outpouring is the failure of the Conven tion to do what it clearly had no right to do, that is to construct a "platform." That work was done at the last State Convention for the nomination of State officers, which will answer for Ohio until the next Convention called for the same purpose. What business a Convention called for the specific purpose of appoint ing four delegates to a National Conven tion had with platform-making could hardly be seen by any one but the States man. But, as nothing which the Con vention did do afforded a pretext for the wrath of the Statesman, it had necessarily to fall back. Upon what it did not do. We givea few specimens: After heading the article as "the proceedings of the Abolition Convention," it says that the feeling of all solid men is that of "disgust and contempt, for its truck ling DISflONESTT AND -COWARDICE.'' A half a dozen lines follow in which the party is said to have been ruled by Gov. Chase, and then comes . in this other classic sentence in which it says the Convention, "now present the DISGUST ING, DISHONEST and COWARDLY spectacle of suppressing every sentiment . in OPPOSI TION to Slavery." This "supression," as it calls omission to introduce a platform, it says is "shameful," "political DUPLIC ITY," a "badge of FRAUD.". It ' then complains that because the ministers of the gospel are Republicans, and the masses of the people believing them to be pious and conscientious, and acting from honest convictions of duty, have drawn the people into the party, but it declares that "tf all their professions they have been the BASEST hypocrites." "Deceit ; dndt fraud," it says, is the foundation of-their action, and they have employed nothing but "falsehood" to accomplish their ends. Such is the beginning of the article, and' it .grows more vulgar to the end. And what, our readers will ask, did the Convention do to stir up all this venom? Well, we will tell them.. It selected, in a very pleas ant humor and in great harmony, Y. B. Harton, and three other gentlemen of like character, to represent them in the Convention ' at Chicago! This is the wliole -offense; and- for which, the States man, after belching out such slang as we have quoted above, through nearly a column, closes in these very refined terms: "ice hate no cause to regret the ac tion of this DEGRADED and DISGRACED assemblage, but as an exemplification of DECEIT. DISHONESTY, FRAUD and COR RUPTION, it is, to all good citizens, a mat ter of MORTIFICATION that any body of men could be assembled in Ohio who would, BY THEIR ACTIONS, UNBLUSH INGLY illustrate the perfect and complete preponderance of such DEPRAVITY." ; Such is the opening of the campaign by the central organ of the Democracy. But our letter is two long already, and we must close. A Fire-Eater's Opinion f GT. Ck. The New Orleans Delta, a leading Southern Democratic ... paper,, thus no tices Got. Chase: Profound and able in ' talent, "skillful and artful, in strategy, ot good address, impressive elocution, indomitable indus try and energy, and immovable equa nimity, far-seeing in judgment, Salmon P. Chase fills a place in ' the Black Re publican programme which Seward, can never have. His' Western life and inr tercourse have expanded his ideas on certain subjects upon whieh Seward . is cramped, narrow and behind the age. There is a dash ot demagoguism in Chase's character, which is quite essen tial ma leader of any, party, especially one ot the passions ana purposes 01 n . 1 Black' Republicanism. His aspect and bearing are those, too, of a leader,; He stands erects presents a- bold and genial appearance, and shows unmistakably a large development of the appetites and propensities which the mass recognize as bonds ot sympathy and fellowship. Seward, on the other hand, is stoop-shouldered,narrow -breast ed, sharp-featured, sallow-hued and un wholesome in his physical characterist ics. Besides he takes snuff, which men of good physical organization and healthy organized nerves rarely do. ...

Washihgton, March 6. THE HARPER'S FERRY "INVESTIGATION. ' Theodore Hyatt kept his promise faith fully, and was before the bar of the Sen ate to-day,jaccompanied by Judge Amy. v He was Arraigned for his "contumacy, and. was given, until If riday , to answer the .questions what excuse he had to offer for his refusal to testify, and whether he was willing to respond. Preston King, it is understood, acts as one of his counsel. The reply will be prepared with care, and will be given under oath. THE NATIONAL UNION PARTY. The National Union party having fixed on the 9th of May and Baltimore as the time and place of holding their Conven tion, speculation is rife as ,to their prob able' action. It is generally thought that Bates, of Missouri, will be nomi nated with the view of forcing him upon the . Chicago , Convention. , A certain portion of the party, however, including most of the delegates from the Southern States, will not submit to this selection if made-, and will bolt and put' up a new man. Of course, such a course "will "leave'the Republicans free to act as they choose. , , "The Union movement' is Tjound to prove a fizzle. ... li Q 11 ai From the N. Y. Observer. Sewing; Machine.

'If. v . u X B.Dr. Hayes, of New York, who was in Dr. Kane's Artie Eexpedition, proposes to sail next May for Rensselier Harbor, in Smith's Sound, wnere Dr. Kane made the winter quarters of the Advance, in 1854. Taking the western shore, which is more free from the drift ice than the eastern shore, he will at tempt to pass the Polar sea in sledges containing boats, which will be used to reach the Pole by the sea. Should this portion of the expedition prove imprac ticable, Dr. Hayes will return to winter quarters on shipboard, and in the spring will make an attempt to reach the Pole over the ice in sledges.' The expedition will cost twenty thousand dollars. One half of the amount has been subscribed already. In a scientific point of view this enterprise is well worthy of a na tional interest. The exploration of the open sea discovered by Dr. Kane is the chief purpose of the expedition, and not any further search for the crews of Sir John Franklin's ill-fated ships. To nrhat base Uses do we come at Laett A cargo of two hundred and thirty seven tuns of human bones lately ar rived in England from Sevastopol, which are to be converted into manure! The British soldier may be cheered to think that it is sweet to die for his country, but one would think he would not be much ! comforted with the thought thathisflesh may be given to ' the vultures, and his bones brought back to an English dung hill. Some of them, jan doubt, how ever, both leave, and in the shape ot bones come back to their country for their country's good. We should think that such Christian nations as 'England. Framce and Russia, might by treaty sol emnly spare the bones of their soldiers. Lesson for the Ladles. An exchange says: '- ; A gentleman who had often been, an noyed by waiting a long time for. the making of the toilet of those ladies he had escorted to balls, was recently; in vited, by one of the ladies, to attend a Leap Year Ball, down East. The lady called for him at the appointed hour, but he was "not quite ready." Our lady friend was ushered into the parlor, and had the pleasure of waiting until nearly 10 o'clock, for the gentleman to "dress." The joke was kindly taken, but was so well done that the fame thereof had ex tended to almost every person in the ball-room in the course of the nexthour. ' Crinoline In Africa. Crinoline is more potential than one could have expected, says an English pa per, the mania for it having extended to the woman of Kaffreland, who, accord ing to the Graham's Town Journal, have recently set their black hearts upon the greatest possible circ inference of skirt.

The "third resolution" of the Indiana Republican State Convention, is in the following words: Resolved, That we are opposed to any interference with slavery where it now exists under the sanction of State law: that the sod of every State should be protected from lawlass invasion from every quarter, and that citizens of every btate should be secured from illegal ar rests and search, as well as from mob violence fi A Boston gentleman on his way to Washington last Wednesday, accom panied by his wife, when at Grendall Green Station, took from his , pocket what he supposed was apiece of tobacco, but which proved to be a roll of bank notes, amounting to $250. Before he could remedy . the mistake, his wife snatched the supposed tobacco from his fingers and playfully threw it from the window. The train was the through ex press, and the conductor could not stop. The loser of the "weed" went on to Philadelphia and returned on the 2:25 train, to look lap the money.

A most horrible murder was. com mitted in this city last evening, between the hours of seven and eight o'clock, at a brick building on the south side of ' : and Front street, between Broadway Ludlow.

The wound commences at the front medium line and encircles more than three-fourths of the neck, severing the jugular veins and carotid artery. His wife staggered for a second after she had been wounded, and cried, outj "Oh, my God, Maria, run for the priest:" then putting a shawl up to her throatj she momentarily staunched the flow otf blood and groped her way from the room and staggered through a passage way, a dis tance of some thirty feet, where she was met by a woman at the head of a flight of steps, into whose arms she fell, shriek ing, "For God's sake, get the priest,' and then immediately sank to the floor a corpse. Cincinnati Gazette. '' ; -The editor of the Spirit of the limes writes from Charleston the follow ing description' of the Hall where the Democratic Convention is to assemble: iThe visitor at Charleston regards with no little interest the Hall of the South Carolina Institute, in which the Demo cratic National Convention is to be held on. the 23d of April next. The audience room is spacious, admirably lighted by long windows on three s.aes, and is ca pable of seating 2,500 persons. " A stage occupies the end, and there are galleries upon three sides, lhere are also con' venient private rooms on both floors, and easy access is had to all the different apartments. The ceiling is beautifully painted in fresco by no less an artist than the brother of Garibaldi, The en tire Hall has been recently fitted up with special reference to the meeting of the Convention. Where the multitudes who will be lodged and fed, is a question of considerable interest.

This morning a man named Thinker died from taking poison. He first pois oned his two children, aged about eight and six years, and having laid them out, folded their hands upon their breast, he left them in an unoccupied room, where some ot his furniture was stored' and went to his hotel and took the poison himself. y "' On Tuesday he poisoned a horse be longing to Dr. Searls, of this city, and it is supposed he intended to shoot Dr. Searls, as a loaded pistol was found on him. The cause was the estrangement of his wife, and her intimacy with Dr. Searls, under the influence of Free Love principles. Great excitement exists, and Dr. Searls has been locked up in the Pen itentiary to protect him from the indig nation of the citizens. Requisition for Cleveland, Harper Ferry Insur gents. March . 9.

Board at Charleston. The Augusta Constitutionalist says: We are informed, on what we regard as reliable anthority, that the Hotels in Charleston will charge five dollars per day for board during the sitting of the Democratic National Convention. We hear it stated also that 'this charge, will commence several days before the Con vention convenes. The opinion prevails that the Convention will be in session two or three weeks. . The expenses there fore for board will be about one hundred and fifty dollars for. each delegate in at tendance at the Convention. Visitors to Charleston will, of course, be chargad the same price.

The invitation of the ladies of the Mount Vernon Association was accepted for to-morrow afternoon. Mr. Hoard offered a resolution asking for a committee to inquire into certain i the effbet that t nft President had endej sav ored to bribe them from their course of duty.

The Vice President laid before the Senate a certified copy of the Kansas Constitution received from the President of the Constitutional Conven tion. . Mr. Mason stated that the Sergeant-at-arms had arrested Thaddeus Hyatt, and now moved that he be brought be fore the bar of the Senate, and asked first, what excuse he had to offer for refusing to obey the summons of-the Senate; and second, whether he is now ready to an swer; and that he be required to' answer such questions as may be propounded by the committee in writing and under oath. . Mr. Hyatt was brought in. ' Mr. Hale moved to amend the first in terrogatory by inserting reason tor ex cuse. Mr. Hale said he believed the Senate had no right to send for this citizen, and he believed he had a valid reason , for not coming. Mr. Saulsbury said the question were in the usual form propounded by; the courts of the law. THr: Hale said that was the mistake, to act as though this was a court of pie nary powers. Mr. Hale's amendment was lost. Mr. Hale moved in addition, that the Sergeant-at-Arms allow him full oppor tunity to consult with consel.

Mr. Aldrich asked, but failed- to obtain consent to offer a resolu tion instructing the Committee on Ways and Means to inquire into the ex pediency and propriety of removing the National Capital to some point west of the Mississippi. Mr. liurnett, irom the Commitee on the District of Columbia, reported a hjll, incorporating the United States Agri cultural Society, lie said a gentleman had. proposed to deed a lot in this city on which to erect the buildings for the exhibition of the Agricultural Society of the country, with a capital of $100,000. The House went into a Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union, with but few members present Mr. Van Wyck in his speech, said he had never deserted the principles of the Democracy early taught him, but the Democrats of the present day devote their power to the perpetuation and ex tension of human servitude, while the principles the Republicans advocate are those heretofore declared by the Demo crats and maintained by the fathers of the Republic and the framers of the Constitution. In noticing the repeated declarations that the election of Mr. Seward to the Presidency would be cause sufficient for a resistance, he said this must mean by force; but where would the South get their arms and gunpowder, as none were manufactured south of the Potomac. Why, in 1814, after the Americans re treated from Bladensburg the British could have crowned a King in this capi- tol. He impugned not Southern cour age, but he regarded the opinion that if the capitol had stood in New England the British would not have been so suc cessful there as in Washington. He spoke about the despotism at the South, which was as gauing to tne wnites as to the blacks, and said there was no at tribute of the Almighty, no command in His word or spirit of the uospel which tolerated the sentiments as uttered ' by the Southern gentlemen, that Slavery is a divine institution. In the course of his remarks he said that Southerners talked about burning witches in few England, forgetting that slaves are burnt at the stake at the South. Mr. Davis, of Miss., rose excitedly, and was understood to say that asser tion was false. Mr. Gartrell made the point of order that no member of the House had a right to libel the people of any section, and then deny the opportunity to re presentatives to reply.

March 8, 1660. THE SCENE IN THE HOUSE. A scene of great excitement occurred in the House yesterday, while Mr. Van wyck was speaking. I send you the Globe's report to show you how South ern men behave. In the course of his remarks Mr. Vanwyck said: "One other gentleman spoke of Massachusetts burn ing witches in the ancient times. Does he not know that your own people burn slaves at .the stake, and yet that seems to awaken no horror in your minds." Mr. Davis, of Mississippi, interrupt ing: ; I pronounce the gentleman a liar and scoundrel. 1 pronounce the gentle man's assertion false utterly false. Mr. Vanwyck My time is short and I hope not to be interrupted. Mr. Davis, of Mississippi You have no right to utter such foul and false slanders. Mr. Gart- 11 A '- 1 -ST . ren l rise to a point oi oraer. it is that no ymember upon thid floor has a right to Jibel the people of any section of this country and then deny the rep resentatives of the people the right to reply. I pronounce that assertion made by the gentleman false, and unfounded.: I Uries ot order on the Kepublican side, j Mr. Vanwyck; I have heard such words before, and I am not to be disturbed or interfered with by any blustering of that sort. . I am not here to libel . iny part of the Union. . Mr. Davis, of Miss.- Will you go out side of the District of Columbia and test the question of personal courage with any Southern man? Mr. Vanwyck I travel anywhere, and without fear of any one. For the first eight weeks of this session you stood upon this floor continually libeling the .North and the people ot tfaerree states, charging them with treason and all man ner of crimes, and now you are thrown into great rage when I tell you a few facts. . ' Mr. Davis Mr. Chairman. The Chairman (Mr. Washburne, of Il linois) The gentleman from New York cannot be interrupted except by a point of order; and the Chair appeals to gen tlemen of the Committee not to violate the rules of the House. The Chair trusts they will not do so. Mr. Davis, of Miss. I shall observe them, sir, if others do, but I certainly will not permit Southern people to be slandered. : Mr. Vanwyck If gentlemen are so sensitive in regard to theirown feelings, I ask them to be as sensitive also to the feelings of others. If they were we would not have such wholesome denun ciations of the people of the -North as we had during the first eight ; weeks of this, session. , i. f- : Washinqtok, March 8, 1860. The House Committee; on Public Ex penditures are busily eugaged upon the subject of the Public Printing,' extend ing their investigations into all its branches. They have not learned any new or material facts. The Senate Printing Investigating Committee, ani mated by a laudable desire to make po litical capital, have resolved to extend their inquiries beyond the limits assigned them m the Senate resolution, and are about summoning Ford and Defrees be fore them in the hope of detecting some great swindle connected with the flec tion of the former. I doubt whether they will obey, but if they do ! a mare's nest is likely to be the result, "lhe JJiU introduced into the House of Represen tatives yesterday, establishing a Goveni ment Printing Office, authorizes, the Su perintendent of Public Printing to pur chase a Tauilding and materials,, and es tablish a Government Printing Office, and appropriating $200,000 for that purpose. The Superintendent is to ap point a foreman of printing and foreman of binding, at yearly salaries of $1,500 each, and to execute all the printing and binding ordered by the Departments and by Congress, after March 4th, 1861. : .... l he superintendent is to ODtam paper for the Government printing by con tracts with the lowest bidders. TheSur perintendent, and all the ofEcers 'under Kim, are prohibited from being connected with any newspaper or other printing es- tablishment under severe penalties. The Lost Steamer Hungarian.

The conservatives show increasing hostility to both budget and commercial treaty with France, and in the House pf Lords an explanation had been called for of the article which binds England not to prohibit the exportation of coal. Lord Russel stated in Parliament that the special mission of Lord Elgin to China had not been definitely arranged. Lord II. also announced that he would introduce a Reform bill the first of March; He -also said that correspon dence was progressing with the Govern ment of the -United States with respect to free admission to American coasting trade between Eastern States and Cali fornia,' &c, but the matter was not in a position to be laid before the House. In response to Mr. Peel, Lord R. said that inquiries had been-addressed to Sardinia' as to whether there was anin tention to cede Savoy to France. Sar dina denied any such intention. ' Earle Granville also announced in the House of Lords, that France will do nothing touching that annexation with out first consulting Jhee great powers, and'obtaimng'consent; oi the inhabi tants. '' . - A motion in the' House to 'abolish flogging in the navy, was negatived. ' i The arniy estimates show an increase of 2,000,000. " ';'; . ., It is denied' that Austria has replied to the proposition of England touching the Italian question. 1 It is also reported that Russia rejects the proposition. ; v f ' ' " ' Advices from Madrid state that Mar shall O'Dgnnell is actively engaged in reconnoitering the country 'surrounding Teutan; he had received delegations from the Moorish Government, asking on what terms peace would be granted, and : had referred the .question to his superior, who had despatched a messen ger to Teutan with the conditions on which peace will be granted. .

It is said the French Government has entered into relations with Prussia, as member of the Zollverien, with a view to negotiating commercial treaty similar to that with England. - ' M. Thouvenel's circular to the French diplomatic agents, in response to the late Evangelical letter to the Pope, is pub lished, and is attracting attention. It apparently convicts the Pope of improp erly using his spiritual office for politi cal purposes. .... A dispatch from M.
