In the Skxatk, on Taekday of last week, Mr. Sumner introduced a bill snpplemen■tary to tbs act of 1851, relative to the liebilities of shipowners, which.was referred. After a few other unimportant matters, the election of a printer lothe Senate.being in order, Mr. Brown, of Mississippi attacked Gen Bowman, editor of tbe Constitution, the democraji^ candidate, in good, sel terms, charging him, among other things, with corrnptioO- while acting atTtaperintendeni of Printing, in receiving $20,000 faun Cornelius Wendell forgiving him a contract. This was pretty well proved and admited in the course of tha debate, but nevertheless the election reswlled in 1 the choice of Gen. Bowman, who received

| 27 votes out of 48.

In the Hfito:. Mr. Pennington withdrew his plurality rule, to avoid confusion. Mr. Hutchins, of Ohio, was opposed to tbe discussion of party mealhres before the organization of the House. lie moved that tbo House proceed to the election of Speaker viva voce, and the person having ths largest number of votes to be the Speaker of the House. Mr. II. moved the previous question on his proposition, bnt the House refused To entertain it. by a majority of three. A colloquial discussion upon points of order, torching the organization of tl.w* House. Mr. Hickman charged that the not hern and southern democrats bad conspired together to prevent the orgsaizatiou of the House, by dilatory motions to prevent the adoption of the phintlity rule. Mr. Hickman's remarks raised the ire of some of the democrats ; several of them among whom were McClernand, of Illinois, and Pryor, of Virginia, made speeches inreply. Mr. Hickman's statements that northern influence, was charteritad by them «w-false, In 'very strong terms. Mr. II., however, by his cool equanimity, rc T msined master of ths position. There was a good deal of excitement daring the passage between.Mr. H. and his assailanU. In ik# Skxatx, on Wednesday, a bill van introduced by Mr. Gwin, of California, to facilitate communication between tbe Atlantic and Pacific by the electric telegraph. Mr. Brown, of Mississippi, introduced res-oluti-ms declaring that tbo territories are the common property of tbe States, and that all citizens have a right to enter them with the properly recognized by tbe Conslitnlion, and instructing tbe Committee on Territories lo insert claases giving protection to such property in the bills organizing territories, provided the territorial Legulatqres do not afford the protection

required.

Mr. Hale desired to put a private bill on its passage, but objection being made, ate the ground that there was no Congress and could be no legislation until the iiouM was organized, Mr. Hale withdrew his bill. A bill, introduced by Mr. Sebastian, to provides Superintendent of Indiasi Affaire for Washington territory, was twice read, and referred. In the lloisz, the proceedings commenced with an exciting contest. Mr. McUae,. of Mississippi, who was entitled to tbo floor, yielded it to Mr, Cloplon, of Alabama. Mr. Washburn, of Maine, inter. ru|-ted, insisting that the House aa* obliged, by law, to proceed to~a-XOtc for Speaker without debate or delay, and that ^LJiiolion lor the adopti? 0 °f the plurality rale Uad been acted upon heretofore at- all times. After considerable clamor,Muring which members ejaculated in slrxgiit-oul./-Anglo-Saxon, relished with suitable pun. gency of remarks, interruptions, calls. Ac..I tbe Clcvk«ecided that Mr. Cloplon wo* entitled to llie floor. Mr. C. ramie a speech, tinctnred strongly with disunion, provided a republican President is elected.. Mr. Cartes,of .Nsw York, said he couldn't support a south American for Speaker, I ecaure that parly lavor a slave code for the leiritcries. Mr. Etheridge, ofTiuiesst* • said he would never give a vote lo support slavery in lb* territories while the Kanssw Nebraska bill remains in force, because, according to tbe eons traction pot up<»‘ that bill when it peseed, tbe people, white in a territorial condition, ran regulate slavery 1» their own way. A running debate consumed tbe day, and tbe Houms adjourned witbool coming to a vote. (Sts SI XT I’ACX.)
