Gowtbabt to general expectation, the House of Representatives yesterday afternoon con curred in the Senate snbntitate for the bill restoring Virginia to representation in Con green, by ft vote of 136 yeas to C7 nays, the party lines being striotly drawn, and ery Democratio member arraying himself .gainst the measure. Mr. Bingham, of Ohio, and Mr. Farnsworth, of Illinois, the cham pions of unconditional admission, were in the most compliant mood, each of them de nouncing the Senate proposition in round . terms, but each of them coming squarely up to the soratch and voting at the dictation of General Butler. The latter gentleman ap peared to enjoy their discomfiture immensely, and in his cool and deliberate way embraoed the first cpportunity presented to make an onslaught. "Which side of the house is that ?" inquired Butler of Bingham, when the latter expressed a desire to giro some 'enlightenment to the gentlemen on "his own side of the House;" and forthwith - the triangular fight commenced, and was fol lowed up with a bandying of "vulgarity," "assumption," "fool," "murderer," and such choioe parliamentary insinuations, either direct or by implication. The House was hugely entertained by the tilt, and gave the combatants full swing and unlimited indul gence. When the unseemly exhibition of bitterness and hate was at an end, the mem bers proceeded to the work they had in hand, and every Republican vote was recorded in favor of readmitting Virginia tied hand and foot, while every Democratic vote was re corded in opposition. There can be no doubt that the President will give his ready, although not cordial, assent to the bill as it has passed both houses. He has within a few days past expressed him self as preferring to see the Old Dominion restored to her place in the Union without any proscriptive conditions imposed upon her; but as being so anxious to see her restored without further vexation and delay, that he would not withhold his assent from the Senate substitute, in case it should pass the House. Some of the conditions under which Virginia is restored to representation in Congress, as we have already contendod, are as necessary as they are stringent, to pre vent all chanoe of such an exhibition of bad faith on the part of her people as has been given by those of Georgia; but the obnoxious test-oaths to which all the State officers are required to subscribe are as useless as they are humiliating, and can only be productive of hostility between the two races and perjury on the part of unscrupulous and ambitious ex-Rebels. But, even with this cloud hanging over her, the future prospect of the Old Domin ion is infinitely brighter than her past record. She will lose a measure of her fair prestige as "the mother of President," but she has also been purged of the deep and damning dis grace of being the breeding pen of the slave oligarchy. Under the new regime, a wiser system of agriculture, a zealous endeavor to open up her great natural resources, and an honest fulfilment of her plodges to her own people and to the country at large, will ensure to Virginia a career both noble and prosperous, a career that will not put to shame her sons when they contrast it with her history in the past. Justioe is a nobler heritage than power, and the breeding and bartering of human chattels a greater shame than temporary weakness. In due time the liberal sentiment of the country will have taken such strides as to demand the unconditional repeal of all the obnoxious and useless conditions that have been imposed upon Virginia and her sister States of the South, and there will remain in force only the guarantees which are as honor able to them as they are essential to the safety . of the nation. OUR NEXT PRESIDENT. Wb always liked Geary, "Governor Geary," as Bergner's sheet calls him, or the "Gory Geary," as the New York World sanguina rily suggests his astounding military ex ploits, or as Dr. Gihon once said, standing in awful reverence before his portrait in the Capitol, the "God-like Geary." All these terms admit of fine alliteration, and could be brought out with stunning effect on elec tioneering transparencies. The Gory, God-like Governor Geary has been, nominated for the Presidency by a ' deputation of four gentlemen from the inte rior who called upon him last week. Need we say that the G. G. G. Geary accepted? He did. He three times stroked his Rubens esque beard, thrice he smiled, then atten tively regarding his magnificent form in the Gubernatorial shaving-glass, he murmured, , "Gentlemen, you flutter me, but I aocept. See Brewster and ask him to write a letter of acceptance, couched in choice English." The four gentlemen from the interior then with drew to the Secretary's room, called for pen and paper, wrote four applications for ap pointmenta as Notaries Publio, and returned to the bosoms of their families. We always liked Geary; the readers of Tbx Tkleoba-ph know that we always liked Geary. We were among the few that first gave him the "credit of, single-handed and alone, winning th,e "battle above the clouds," and planting the flag on the topmost peak of Lookout Mountain. We were also the first to endorse his claim to winning the victories of Antiotam, Gettysburg, Vickaburg, ftnd Appo- mattox Court nouse victories whioh Mc Clellan, Meade, and Grant sought to wrest from the Gory, God-like Governor Geary. We were also among the few who wore friendly enough to give him kdvioe advioe whioh, for the reputation of the Republican party, we regret he did not acoept. We also advised him not to permit his reverenoe for tho truth to carry him so far as never to use it, for the truth can be employed occasionally with effect. Of course,1 we never imagined that he could reform altogether his predileo tion for want of veracity, but we weakly be lieved that he might measurably overcome the habit We regret to say he has not done so, and that he still calls blaok white and white black. This habit is ft little confusing to his friends, but still idiosyncrasies in groat men must be pardoned. We want the Governor and the friends of the Governor to bear witness that we endorse him for the Presidency. Our first choice was Mrs. Cady Stanton, but she has already the Revolution to look after, and she must give place to Geary. We even go further, knowing that we can not fare worse. We nominate Dr. Gihon for Vice-President. Geary would be nothing without Gihon. Geary will emphatically declare that black is white, and Gihon will swear to it. These noble soldiers, patriots, and statesmen must not . be separated. As Governor they are one, as President let them not be divided. We unfurl our banner and nominate . For President John W. Geabt. For Vice-President John H. Gihon. And now we want to be appointed a Notary Public. THE IlOE rRESS. While the propriety and expediency of ex tending patents beyond the term for which they are originally granted may be disputed in the majority of instances, there are occa sions when such extension is but a simple act of justioe to men who have oonferred inesti mable benefits on their fellows: The editors and publishers of newspapers know well what are the benefits that have resulted and that will result from the invention of the rotary printing press by Colonel Richard M. Hoe, and they also know that he has never received that pecuniary reward that the great value of the invention to mankind entitles him. Bo fore the rotary press was perfected four thou sand sheets per hour was considered the maxi mum speed that it was possible to attain, and all hope of exceeding this was abandoned both in the United States and , Europe. Hoe, however, applied a perfectly new principle, and by producing a press that was capable of printing twenty-four thousand impressions per hour, he gave an impetus to the business of newspaper publishing that ought to be appreciated by all who are able to understand the importance and value of a rapid dissemination of intelligence in a conn try like this. The Hoe press was not merely an improvement on former machines, but it was a new invention, that, like the telegraph and the steam engine, was destined to have a most powerful influence on human affairs. The publio has only commenced to reap the benefits of Colonel noes labors, while he has scarcely derived any profit whatever from them. His patent was for twenty years, but he had scarcely succeeded in bringing his press into notice when the rebellion broke out, and for a period of seven years his business was brought to a stand still, and in the United States at the present day there are not more than about seventy-five of -Hoe's rotary presses now in operation. Nearly all of the publish ers and printers of the United btates are of the opinion that, under these circum stances, Colonel Hoe is justly entitled to the extension of ten years that he asks for his patent. Those who endorse his claim are the ones who are interested pecuniarily in the lapse of the patent, for by that means the price of the presses will of course be reduced; but it is thought that there is due to Colonel Hoe far more than he has ever yet reoeived for his invention, and that the country owes him something that it ought to repay. Last month the House of Representatives refused to extend Colonel Hoe's patent, but it is thought that the refusal was made under a misapprehension of all the facts of the case; and that there is now a disposition in both branches of Congress to give the matter a favorable consideration. We hope that Con gress will give the case of Colonel Hoe that attention it deserves, and grant the extension he asks. The ingenuous statement of James Fisk, Jr., before the Congressional Committee with regard to the famous gold "corner" of Sep tember proves two or three things of interest to the publio. In the first place, it is shown very conclusively out of the mouth of the said Fisk that he is by no means as brilliant a finanoier as he would have the world imagine; in the second place, it demonstrates the fact that President Grant had nothing at all to do with the affair; and thirdly, Fisk, Jr., with the naivete of a young man just from the country, convicts himself of having been the pliant tool in the hands of Corbin, the brother-in-law of the President, who made use of his supposed influence at the White House to blind the eyes of the in nocent i lsk and the greater port of those proverbially sharp gentlemen known as the "bulls" and "bears" of Wall street. Corbin, for bis part, is disposed to fight shy of the committee, and in answer to two other calls for his presence in Washington, he puts in the plea that he is suffering from the rheu matism, ftnd therefore cannot come.. The committee are determined to have him, how- .ever, and if he cannot be obtained by fair means, the Sergeant-at-Arms of the House of Representatives will be sent after him to oon- duct him to Washington, in spite of his rheu- matism. Fisk represents Corbin to be a sly old fox, who understands the art of holding his , tongue, and there is scarcely any probability that his testimony . will prove as amusing reading as that of Prince Erie. What the publio are particularly Interested in is to know how far any of the Government officials were implicnted in the "corner," and Mr. Corbin will be required to tell exactly what his transactions with his White House rela tives were. Thus far the testimony impli cates nobody but General Buttcrffeld, and shows that the President is a sufferer from having too large ft circle of relatives who are anxious to make something out of his eleva tion. . , Yfstekdat the question of granting a pen sion ' to Mrs. Lincoln came np again in the National Senate by Mr. Wilson introducing a resolution granting her $2000 per annum from the date of President Lincoln's death. This is ft material reduction from the $.".000 per annum which the Sonate refused to grant last session, and we hope that it will be re ported favorably by the Committee on Ten sions, end recoive tho favorable consideration of both branches of Congress. Mrs. Linooln was not popular during her residence in the White House, and we think it likely that she deserves all the dislike that she' incurred. Since the death of her husband, too, her conduct has not been such as to do away with the fooling against her,' and so far as her own merits are concerned, ' there is no reason why Congress should do anything to relieve her pecuniary embarrass ments. But it should always be remembered that she was the wife of Abraham Lincoln, and that she has the care and eduoation of his children imposed upon her. Mr. Lincoln's services and the rrannerof his death place obligations on this nation that can be reoog nized in no better way than by providing his family with a competence. The sum pro posed by Mr. Wilson as a pension for Mrs. Lincoln is not a large one under the circum stances, and it ought to be granted by Con gress without further cavil. Mr.. Samuel G. Turner, of Luzerne, yes terday made an attempt in the State Senate to have the franking privilege restored, but we are happy to state that, in a momentary fit of virtue, the Legislature refused to grant his desires. The Senate indeed did pass Mr. Turner's bill repealing the law of 18G9, but at a later hour it resolved to recall it from the House. The House, however, refused to send it back and defeated it, and alas a resolu tion offered by Mr. J. W. Keene, also ot Luzerne to grant the franking privilege to members in Bums not exceeding ton cents on any one package. The two members from Luzerne, who attempted to have the franking nuisance restored are, we are pleased to know, shining lights of the Democracy, who are, by this commendable aotion of the Legislature, deprived of the means of circulating cam paign documents among the inhabitants of the pleasant vale of Wyoming, and who will now either have to pay postage on their speeches or leave their constituents in bliss ful ignorance of their performances in that line.

For tho purpose of comparison we have estimated, as a basis, the naval force at 10,000 men, and tho army force at 50,000 mon Tho total commanding officers in the army are 805 one officer In the army representing 164 20-61 men.

Of the 477 commanding officers iu tho navy 109 of them rank above or with Brigadier-General In the army. The army, with a force of 50,000 men, has twenty-six general officers. The navy, with a force of 10,000 men, has 109 general officers. This Is in the proportion to the number of men. employed of 21 19-26 general officers in the navy to one general officer in the army.
