The eight members elect , from Tenne.ssee having been called by, the 1 Speaker to take the oath, Mr. -- Eldridge ob jected to the administering of the math to Mr. Stokessand moved that his credentials b 9 re ferred to- the Committee on Credentials.: 4 l James Brooks, of New York, objected to the adininistoing of the oath to any of the Tennessee delegation, on the ground, first, that two; ifnot More of them, had been guilty . of treason to the Government, and had taken the ClatliAd allegiance to the. Confederate Gov- 1 :eminent and Jeff Davis; and second, there 'oes not now exist in the State; of Tennes.s.se nrepeblican form of government.' (Lon d laughter on Republican side.) Mr. Brooks argued that the electoral law: tsf . Tennessee disfranchises a majority of its white-citizens —the sehole vote. of the State was 140,000, an yet 100,000, voters basil controilial the ' e1&tti0n,,55,000 of who'd were negroes con trolline'the 45,000 - white voters who were . not - disfranchised. An oligarchy now existed and reigriolin Tennessee. and the franchise law there was a disgrace to any free form of Government, - a dishonor to civilization and a reprobation to all forms of republican self government. Mr. Brooks then stated his special objections to the - swearing In oft Mr. Butler, because as a member of the .Tenn essee Legislature before and during the re bellion, be. had. Introduced, supported and voted for resolutions and measures proving his disloyalty to the United States. Among theSO were resolutions to. reject the confirma tion of any man to office who inderaed the helper book„ condemning the appointment of Mr. Seward in Lincoln's Cabinet Os as act lofhostility to the So.uth„,and for isalfing.a icon'vehtion t to take Tennessee out of that Union. .Ifl Brooks quoted -the precedent established by the Republican aide of the House last July in regard to the - Kentucky members, and argded they - were now irrevo cably bound 1111 Mr. Brooks then objected to the swearing in_of 3fullins, on the -ground that he had given aid and comfort to the reb- 1 els, had made speeelres -in behalf of :it, ad lent his aid and suppert.tO it, had atteln ted ito raise troops for it, and made a speec in Bedford county in ISM, - in' which he urged 1 ypunk„men to enlist in ti rebel -company and defendAlieirhomr. and firesides. Mr. Brooks also objected to the swearing in of Arnell on theermind that he had. establiShed in. Law rence'county, •Term., a :tannery, which was , deVrited to supplying shoes to rebel soldiersi. Mr. 'Brooks also objected to the swearing of Trimble, saying his information was that if. he voted at nil on .the question of secession he had voted for taking Tennessee out of the Union. - , • Mr. Tritiible(in his scat) assured Mr. Brooks 1 he had not done so. M. Brooks accepted the' denial; and with- drew, all special objection to the swearing in ! of Mr. Tnmbie. . Mr. 'Eldridge then stated to the House the round on which be objected to the swearing is in of Mr. Stokes. It was that Mr. Stokes had admitted in the House, 27th ofJnly, 1860, to having written a letter to John Duncan, on the 10th of May, 1861, slatir.g he understood some gross misrepresentations were going the rounds of his section in reference to Ids' posi tion, which he (Stokes) - wished' to cor rect. That be had been a zealous *dm cata of the Union up to the time Mr. Line* had called for '75,000 troops in violation of 1 the lawforthe subjugation of the. South ; that. he commended Governor Harris,' of • Tenn°- , awe, for his course, and for arming the State and resisting Lincoln at the point ;of the bayonet. and belted enrolled his name as a, I volunteer to resist Lincoln's , usurpations, - Mr. Logan 'expressed his gratification at seeing - membets on the Democratic side coming up to the mark. He was willing: to have the matter of Butler referred, but as to Mr. Stokes he t aught if any man could wipe out a ivrong, that' noble man (Stokes) bad wiped out th wrong of that letter in fighting for the Union, while sonic gentlemen were pnblieldaltres onai articlea.

The Secretary of - the Treasury is sound on this subject ; and his forthcoming annual re port will address an orpiment to the Con gress and the country, that. I am sure will please you and those who are neither knaves nor fools. The finance question is to become the lead- 7 ing one in the organization of parties, and I had hoped that such meri as Butler' and Ste. rens would have - remained with the . great. body of thtir friends.

At St. Thomas, it is estimated fully fire hundred lives were lost ; In Porto Rico over two hundred persons are supposed to have perished ; in St. Domingo about as inany are reported killed 'as in Porto- Rico ; and, although the news of the submersion of Tortola during the storm is hardly credible there can be no doubt that the storm has ,wrought fearful damage in that island like wise.

WeLtake a , benevolent interest in the happi. nese of all men, and we trust weare not entire ly deficient the capacity to love our enemies as heartily as the average of good Christians usually do. But when a heavy trade in_ brag, is'done on a small cash capital of success, we naturally feel fearful of a collapse. And, So we say, in all kindness, to our Democratic friends: We like to see you laugh, but we don't like to hear ytin lie. When The N. Y. Herald, forin'stance, declares that "not in one or two States only, but everywhbre, tha poll• cy of the Radicals has been emphatically con demned," we fell like calling Its attention to the fact that of the twenty-seven Starks now in the Union nineteen have Republicurt,State Governments—Governor' and 'Legislattire— four, viz.:New-York, New-Jersey, Ohl6, and Conr.eetieut, are divided bet Ween the two parties, and only four are Democratic,- viz, Delaware, .11laryland,Kentucky, and Californ ia Qf these, the only Northern States is Califotrda, and there we were beaten by a split in the Republican party, and by local issues. Of the divided States, the Republicans have both houses ot,the Legislature of Con necticut by iimajoity of one in the Senate and thirty-five in the House, making thirty six conjoint ballot. In New-York wei have, the Rovernor, and a majority of six in- the Senate; fa New-Jersey we. have the Governor (and Camden and Amboy has the rest) - and in Ohio we have the Governor; with the ofTgt of being reenforeed by the election andigharn to the United' States Senate.. In Congress our majority Is • equally corn fortable and satisfactory. .Among the people the Re - Pun - Can party has a roietve, which was not called out in the recent Fall engage ments, Sntlicient at a Preiddential election to carry aifrNorthern State, except 3faryl, and Kentucky. We can give the Democratic party two or three of our heaviest States. and still thrash them on the great national Issues and candidates. In tee. ten.
