The Ledger publisnes the following: Washington, October 10 The President has Jnrt sent in to tho Attorney-General the lollnwlnt; qucs lions, and reqactod that a rcspoBue to them bo returned in writing: (irst. is the present Congress, compood of mem ber, irom Northern (State, alone, such a Congress aa tho Constitution requires, or is it an illegal and un constitutional assemblage Second. Would existing circumstances justify the Prendont in sending his next annual message to an illegal and unconstitutional assemblage pretending to be the Congiess of the United Mates, 1 hird. Dots that clause in Section 6 of tho first article of (be Constitution which makes each House tho judge ot the election returns and qualitioatlons 01 its own members, give to the present Congre.s the ngi t to excludo the members from ten States, or to impose dishonorable or unconstitutional terms upon their admission? tourtb. Does the President's oath of office require him to enforce those provisions of the Constitution winch give to each htate an equal right ot represen tation in Congress Article first, section second, section third; article flub, first clause. Kiith. What slens do tho Constitution and his oath of office reqn:re the Pres'dent to take in order to secure the assemblage of a constitutional Con gress? Upon the reply that mav he made by the Attorney General to the abote, the President, tbere is reason to beiieve, has determined to taKe his stand. The correspondent ot the Lulger continues with tile following "peculations : The questions put to the AttornovGoneral are all tbc more important when taken in connection with the bold utterances 01 the President at the Kiftn Avenue Hotel, declaring that the "present" was only an assumed Congress, and "not tho Crngres. the Constitution called for;" and also, in connec tion vith simt ar declarations, though loss pointed, that loll irom Its lips prior to his return to the capi tal. From these utterances it is clear that the hxecutive has lolly made up his mind that the lliirty-ninth Congress was not a legal body. He now asks the opinion of the Attorney-General upon the grave and deeply momoutous subject, and when it is piven he will govern himself accordiagly. It Is not difficult to foreshadow what the response of Mr. ianbcrv will bo, ana that ho will chime in iul y with the opinions of tho Kxecuuvo, as already expressed, tbero stems to bo no doubt.

Washington, Octooer 13 Tho omotion coated bv the result of the Pennsylvania election is sensi bly felt by tho friends ot the Administration. Pro minent Southerners aec'are that me radicals have passed the Rubicon, and will march almost unop posed to absolute domiuion. It is imagined that the President will be impeached and removed. The end. in the opinion of these Southern politicians, will justify any means. The radicals have the power, and their purpose is fixed. Th re is but one act of tho Pte-ident's ad ministration of which they can constitutionally and egallv impeach and convict him the murder oi Mrs. Surialt and the other victims ot the military commission. The Supreme Court of the United Mates baa declared such tribunals illeaal. Kvery 1 cinocratic Senator, under the lead of Rcverdy Johnson, will bs constrained to vole "aye'' upon the question ot guilty or not guilty to this charge. 1 no Sonato will be unanimous the r idi ca s irom policy and the Democrats irom conviction. The woiltl will be taught by another eminent ex ample lhat in tho ways of Providenco sin becomes it own aveucer. That is the view of Soutierners here, and there are but few of them on aand.

Count ue Montholon has communicated to Secretary Seward the text of a new French law, as follows: Article 1. The duration of the rights granted by anterior laws to tne heirs ot irregular sue censors, grantees, or legatees, and of authors, composers, or artists, is extended to fifty years, oatmg irom iuc ueueuae 01 tne autnor. During this psriod ol fifty years the surviving husband or wife, whatever may be the matri monial arrangement, and independently of rights w hicb may r suit in favor of the survivor irom the reputations ot tbe community, has all the enjoyment of tbe rights whir h the deceased either has not disposed of by contract, being parties in bcine or by will. However, it the authors have heirs in reserve, that enjoyment Is limited lor the benefit of such heirs, according to the proposition and distinc tion established by articled 913 and 916 of the Code Napoleon. This enjoyment does not take place when there exists at tbe moment of death a separa tion of persons pronounced against the sur viving party. It ceases in the case where the survivor contracts a new marriage. The rights of boirs in remuiuder, reserve, or of other heirs or successors during this period of fifty years remains, moreover, regulated in contormity with the code Napoleon. First. When the succession devolve) to the State the exclusive right is distinguished with out prejudice to the rights ot creditors aad the lexecution of agreement of cession, which may have been consented to by the author or his representatives.

When she entered the cars, she took the only bench vacant, and this was situated three .oats trom tbe end 01 the car Soon after the cars started, the cooductor told Mrs. Miles the rule of the company was that colored persons must take the end seats, and that she mut move. The conduotor then moved the white passengers off the end seat, and told Mrs. Miles she must take that seat or leave tbe cars, and uuon her leiusal, the cars were stopped and the cou ductor and brakosman forced her to leave. It was not pretended that tbere was any force or rudeness used except what was necessary to enforce tne ru e, and, tbereiore, the simple qnestion raided was whether a railroad company had a neht to dis criminate between passengers paying the same fare ou account of color only. Judge Pierce charged the Jury in accordance wi'h the decision of Judge Allison in Dorsy v. Lowry, that the deiendants were common earner., and as tho word common indicated, were bound to carry all who offered, subject only to their right to make reasonable rules and regulations for tbe oomtort and convenience of their passengers, and the efficient transaction ot their business. That their power to make such rules did not em. power them to di.crimlna 0 on the ground of preju d ce. If they bad tbe power to discriminate on the ground of complexion, they might do so ou acoount ol nationality or religion, and this tbe law would not tolerate. if a passenger was uncleanly in his perion. afflicted wbh an infectious disease, intoxicated, or Otherwise off nsive, he might be expelled to secure the comfort of the travelling public but no com panv.bas a right to discriminate against any parii cular olass ot persons in the community because of a prejudice. lbs Company, therefore, not having the right to make such a rule, they could not ot course shelter themselves under ft. and the expulsion oi the plaintiff was illegal and wrong. As to tbe damages the.lpluimlll' was entitled to compensation for any inconvenience she had suffered, and also lor any mental suffering she had been exposed to by the oiroumstanoes connected with her expulsion. It was not pretended that there had been auy malioe, nor any special oircumstanoes of outrage or inult, and therefore the damages sh iuld be eom rensa'ory oniy. Verdict for plaintiff. M.

Ofo-wclcd I Ion so and a, Grand Ittcccption. Mr. Gough, on being Introduced to the large and enthusiastic audience, was received with loud applaiue. After a few words by way of Introduction, he epoke as follows: The definition of the term 'Curiosity." accord . ing to Webster, is tbe disposition to inquire or seek after knowledge, a desire to gratify the mind with new information aud objects of inte rest. Inquisitlveness is aa element of our nature tbe first to be developed. At the dawn ot the intellect comes tbe desire to know. The lirst inquiries ot a child reaching out its hand to touch a thing are, What is it? wny is it? where is it? when is it? how is it? These are evi dences that a feeling oi insatiable curiosity pos- sesfes man at tne urn aawn oi me, ana tnat desire for knowledge is vivid during the earliest periods of life. ibis curiosity, this desire to know, is what I propose to speak about to niebt, taking the term in its broadest meaning and significance. Strip us of this element ot curiosity, and we would make no progress the world would stand still and ambition would die. Bulwer says, "It is a glorious lever that debircs to know." Curi osity ot great minds led us to great discoveries, to improvement, to useful Inventions. In middle minds, to store information; in small minds, to tneipiciful peddling of gossip and mind ing other people's business. We owe to curiosity all we know of tbe natural world, of the heavens above, and the earth beneath us the burning desire to know how to investigate has overcome every obstacle, comlort, privation, scorn, contempt, persecu tion, and has even brvaed dt'ath itself. It Is a sublime sight a grave, earnest work ing in devious waj3 struggling from the iron walls of darkness and oblivion into magnificent infinity. These men have struggled hard against adversity, against everything, In order that men might be brought nearer the throne oi the infinite God. It is wise to make ourselves acquainted with the struggles of these benefac tors in their progte.-s, and know, as far as we may, at what cost these results have been achieved. borne of us have a curiosity to learn. We eagerly seize all the ancient books we find, and devour tbeir contents greedily; gathering ail the information possible Irom them, and trom tbe ieports obtained from mariners. He then re ferred to Coluinous, telling what difficulties be labored under in order to get a sufficient number of vessels to proceed on his perilous voyage. iso taunts or dangers could move him from his great purpose, lie started with three vessels, two of which were without decks, out upon an unknown sea, to seek an unknown land. After being some time out his sailors clamored to re turn home, continually expecting to land, with continual disappointment. By his unwavering faith he quelled tbe rebellious organization until that memorable night when he saw the torcbe.i, and inhaled the refreshing breeze trom the land. Nearly one thousand years have elapsed since the first time there was discovered to be a north west passage. How many difficulties .they bat tled with) What courage and fortitude they maintained in daily conflict with the laws of nature in tbe attempting to discover tbi passage! Read the voyage of those returned mariners in their attempts what tearful Buttering, priva tion, anddeaui whatanexoenditureof treasure and Hie I Men neverfjtl inching, never faltering, with that knowledge peculiar to the maritime world, have been worsted in the conflict with these awful powers of nature sustained by the great curiosity to solve the question. The man who discovered steam proposed his plan to the French king, then tried the Church, and was finally put in tbe mad-nouse for pre senting such an absurdity lor tbe consideration ol the public. Many have lost tbeir property, ruined their health, dying neglected. They labored and expended tbeir strength for nought. Stephenson worked fifteen years at his loco motive before he achieved a success. The gen tleman who discovered enamel endured priva tion, poverty, and everything imaginable, out at last achieved a success. Samuel Morse, from his first experiment with the electric telegraph, in '44, struggled bard against obstacles in Eng land, where he was refused, and obtained no as sistance whatever. lie appealed to the sove reigns of other countries, with the same result, Not discouraged, he determined to interest some one, and, under great disadvantages, obtained the aid of Congress. We all remember that session of '42 and '43. On tbe last night be waited almost without hope. He left the Ilouseidiscouraged, aud reduced to his last dollar. He was startled by the announce ment tbat, in tbe midnight hour Congress had placed at his disposal thirty thousand dollars for the experiment. The first line was to be between Baltimore and Washington, where its practicability and utility was to be demonstrated to the world. He retired tbat night, but did he dream that sixteen telegraph lines would be successfully constructed and be extended forty thousand wiles in every country in Europe, from the Tur kish Empire through to India, and over into China? Did he dream of the honors that would be showered upon him by European sovereigns tbe King of Prussia, the Emperor of France, the Queen of Spain to vote four hundred thousand francs trom the ten States ? Now the great event of the aee is the success ful laying ot the ocean telegraph uniting the two continents. It is a triumph of scientific skill and American industry, the result ot Mr. Morse's perseverance and determination in overcoming every obstacle. His name will hold a prominent place In the world's history, and exercise an important inHuence upon the world's Eroeress, All honor to Samuel Morsel All onor to Cyrus Field, who, through discourage ments , and failures and opposition, by indomi table perseverance, has borne so honorable a part in tbe great enterprise. We, as Americans, aie proud to claim them as our countrymen. Long may they live ! (Applause.) A very lew noble men have. by discovering an invention, increased the desire to know. Tbe names of many have been forgotten. The suo cess.'ul ones have been remembered. Curiosity prompts a certain class of men to gather stores of information. Furnish them with books; they may repeat them page by page, by rote, but tbey have no true know- leGod has given to few the intellect to discover truth. Very few men ever become proficient in any branch of science. And why? Because they do not investigate personally. They de pend upon others for the solution. Without personal investigation, without per sonal thought, no one can arrive at any degree of eminence in anything he undertakes. He who would have and know chemistry, botany, . mineralogy, etc., must himself make researches. Knowledge is proud that it knows so much ; wisdom is humbled tbat it knows no more. From the want of knowledge, a certain George and Robert Cokeshank were discussed in a Britibb periodical, In which the writer said ha4.
