On Fridav last the (.' tigress of the United State- at Washington by a two thirds vote cf both Ho uses, consummated the great w k bosun in Ph adclphia on ti c Ath of July, 1776. Both Houses of <> National Legislature have finaliy adopted the proposed coa stb utional amendment. The vote in the Senat • stool 39 yeas to 13 nays, and in the House 144 y.-as to 43 nays. The bill, including the amendment, reads "Nsfs follows. JJr >! enacted, kc. . two third of both flouitu concurring.

We hope their clamor will be of no avail. The act is a good, right and proper one. It is not only the privilege of the Senate bot its duty to see that none but; good uien are appointed to office. The ten- | ure of Office At is but little more than the i assertion of this doty. If Grant's appoint meats are go>d, the act will not interfere, if they are bad it ought to interfere and will. Grant though mt aning well is liable to err as other men and cannot rta-onbly ask to be released fioni the restraints that are found prudent for others. A\ e shall not be sur prised, if the Act is repealed, to see these very men who are loudest in their clamor for the repeal, the first to find fault with Grant and his administration. The whole pro ceeding seems to rss the work of a lot of small politicians who ore afraid they will get no appointments. Grant will do well to leave all such nip in the cold. THE stibj-ct taxa'i< n has occupied a not undue :-La -of attention in the State Senate.

TKMI'EKAKCR COXTKNTIO*. A State Temperance Convention was in session here on Wednesday and Thursday of this week, and was quite largely attended, especially from the Eastern and middle por tions of the State. The great point discussed seemed to be in reference to the propriety of taking action looking to the immediate for mation of a temperance political party. The proposition was very animatedly debated and finally voted down only by a very small ma jority. The most important propositions adopted were resolutions recommending local prohibition wherever it is possible to seenra and enforce it. and recommending the passage of a general law by the Legislature submit ting the question of prohibition to the voters [ofeach election district, arid if a majority ; vote in favor of prohibition no license shall be issued by any court for the district until • such vote shall be reversed at a subsequent i election. The proceedings throughout evin ced a thorough awakening among the friends I of the temperance cause, and a determination ' to make their eff >rts in the future more potent in accomplishing the objects desired. ADJUTANT GENRRAL'S DF.PAP.TSIEST. The necessities cf a time of war tendered the business of this Department very exten sive, but the cause having now ceased to ex ist there seems to be no good reason why the office of Adjutant General should be contin ued. In the spirit of retrenchment and re form Mr. Strnnuhan of Erie, has introduced into the House a bill to abolish this Depart ment after the first of June next, and to trans fer its duties to an additional clerk in the Auditor General's Office. The item of sala ries for this Department as given in the appropriation bill for the present is $8,500 alone. It is claimed that the whole business of the Department can be performed by a single clerk at a salary of $1,500 a year. In addition to this there is at present the ex pense of running the machinery of an entirely distinct department. What the amount per year is for postage, telegrams, expressuge, light, fuel, stationery, and ''miscellaneous" it is impossible to tell, those items lor some reason being combined with similar items for the State Historians' Department in the appropriation bill. They will however swell the total expense to quite a large amount. There is a tendency with the members of the present Legislature to lop off all unnecessary expenses, and this leads to the belief that the present bill is likely to pass. HISTORY OK PCKK3YLVANIA YOIJJSTKEBB. — THE COST. The manner in which the preparation of ttiis work has dragged its slow length along has led to an investigation into the probable extent and cost of the work. On Wednesday Mr. Errett made a report to the Senate from the Committee on Public Printing in which he gives an estimate of the cost based upon figures obtained from the State Printer. In rour.d numbers the cost of the publication ol each volume is seven dollars. Supposing the work may be comprised within four vol umes the cost to the State will be as follows : for compilation, $20,000 ; 0000 sets, lour vol umes each, at seven dollars per volume. $1- 0, 000 ; Express charges for delivery, $10,000; making a sum total of $170,000. Should the work extend to five volumes, which the committee ray is not unlikely, the total will be increased to $207,000. Whether the Leg irla ure will continue this expensive method 01 writing and publishing the Hirtory is a question yet to be considered. At leas! i l seems to be a matter of regret that the uo dertakiug was ever attempted in the present form. CO N'SriTCTIOXAL AM EX lM EXT. Mr Davis baa introduced into the Senate a Jul it i revolution pi noosing an amendment to the Constitution to the effect that in every year of a Presidential Election the State election shall be held on the Tuesday next after the first Monday of November instead ol the second Tuesday of October, the bill has been reported favorably from Committee and it is quite probable it will pass. There is no reason why we should hold two elections so near together, and the, change proposed seems in every way desirable. THE METRO TOUT AN POUCE BILL. For Philadelphia has at length been defea ted. Nearly the entire week the Democrats have been trying to bring it up in the Senate fearing delay would lose to them the votes of some "week Kneed'' Republicans. On agreeing to the first section of the bill the vote stood 11 ayes to 20 nays—Senators Fisher. Lowry. Osterbout, Robison, Slutztnan and Taylor, Republicans, voting in the nega tive. The propriety of the bill as a political measure is doubtful, and its defeat is not a matter of much regret. CONTESTED EI.KCTIOX CASE. The remaining contested election case be fore the Legislature is the one of Thayer rx Greenbank for the office of Associate Judge of Philadelphia. The contestant has closed and the Committee will be in Philadelphia during the coming week to receive the testi mony of the other Side. The Committee is expected to report in about two or three weeks. ADJOURNMENT. Roth Houses adjourned yesterday until Monday evening, the Bth of March. This adjournment is for the purpose of allowing the members and officers to attend the in auguration of General Grant as President, of the United States. IMPORTANT TO WOOL GROWERS.—The following circular from an extensive wool house in Philadelphia contains suggestions which tuay he of value to farmers in this section. It will be seen that these dealers are aprehensive that f blood and coarse wool will continue to decline in price, while a good market will always exist for the long com bin# woo]. PHILADELPHIA, Feb. I.—Enclosed is a samp e of combing wool grown in Illinois, and worth 50 to 53 cents per pound to day to our market in the unwashed condition, i he demand for these wools is inerea-ing so rapidly that it will be impossible for the American farmers to supply enough of them for years to come. Three-fourth blood wools arc now grown in excess of the wants of the country, and soon California and Texas will rai-e enor mous quautities of this quality, and prob ably cause a further reduction in the price. If t.ur farmers in the present wool growing sections wish torai.-e wool to a profit, they can do so quite easily and with but light ex pense in making thechange. L>-t them buy of the Canadian farmers Leicestershire bucks at a cost of eight to ten dollars each, and cross theui with ibeir me dium and coarse wool ewes, and they will produce sheep valuable for mutton, and hearing the wool which is most wanted and -aid to command a high price. These sheep will be hardy, but they should be sheltered from the storms in winter and fed on turnips and other roots rather tban corn, that the wool staple may be strong and lustrous.

SENATE. FRIDAY Feb 26th —The resolution to pay the Senators from the reconstructed States from the commencement of the 40th Con gress was first called up and discussed until the expiration of the morning hour, when. The following first section of Mr. Sohenck'i bill, as amended and reported in the Senate was read to-day, from the Com mittee on Finance: Be it enacted, etc., 'That in order to re move anv doubt a* to tbe purpose of the Government to discharge all its just obliga tions to the public creditor*, and to settle conflicting questions and interpretations of its law- by virtue of which such obligations have been c utracted, it is hereby provided and declared that the faith of the United States is solemnly pledged to the payment in coin, or its equivalent, of all tbe obliga tions of the United States, except in cases where the law authorizing the issue of any such obligations has expressly provided that the same may be paid in lawful money or other currency than gold and silver. The report of the committee ofconferenee on the Constitutional amendment, the spe cial order for two o'clock, then came up. The report was read as follows: The r'ght of citizens of the United States to vote .-hall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on ac count of race, color or previous condition of servitude.

FAILURE OF A BANK.— The Fourth Na tional Rank of Philadelphia, located on Arch street near eighth, suspended payment on Tuesday morning 20'h ult. The bank has not been in god credit for a year and a half pa-t with the few most intimately ac quainted with the manner in which it has been operated. For the last three months it has been under close watch of the Boaid of Bank 1 Residents, and enough that was irregular W'as di-covered in the conduct of the Cashier of the hank to warrant request from the Board fur his resignation, which wa= subsequently made, and at once formal ly tendered. A committee of the Board of Presidents made an examination on Thurs day or Friday last, and though they detected some irregularities, and reported positive fraud to the amount of SIO,OOO, they never theless expre-sed their belief that the hank wa3 ahle to go on, and united in a resolve to sustain it through its present emergency. Ihe old cashier having left, the investiga tion of the books of the bank was continued, and on Monday, being a dies non in the business of the bank, two or three clerks from other banks were brought in a.-exp< rts to aid in the examination, and continued their labors until late at night. The ae connrs were found in a very unsettled and disordered state, overdrafts atul fraudulent entries being detected to the amount, in round numbers, of at least one hundred thousand dollars ! By its last statement, on tlie 16th, it showed liabilities on account of deposits to the amount of- $508,938, and resources to the amount of $180,278 in legal tenders, and $547 676 in loan* and dis counted paper—in ali, $727,954 from which to pay $508.9380f deposits. Back of this there is the Cashier's security of $25,000, and, beyond that again, the capital of the l ank. $225,000 more. It is tlie opinion of the President of the hank that there can be no loss to depositors—the note-holders are of coutse protected—and he hopes that even the capital of the bank is nt,impaired. THUULO?. WEED writes as follows from Aiken, Sooth Carolina: "There is joy lor the country in President Grant's response t„ the Congressional Committee. It is a gratelul gbam of light dispelling the black ne-s which has so long enveloped our financial horizon. All is as we hoped. Grant is to lie, like \\ a-hington, twice the country's .-avior—fi-st in command of its armies, and mxt as its President. He will inaugurate eeo- omy. lie will ro-ist th • prodigal appropriations. H will appoint honest men to. and remove dishonest in-n from office. lie has mid it, and he wili do if, for he always 'fights it out 011 this line.' This will bring our country back to the palmy days, the prosperity, and the happi ness it enjoved during the Presidential terms of James Monroe and John Qaincy Adams. Let the whole people, therefore, 'clap their hands with joy.' The inauguration ol'Grant will be as truly a day of jubilee as that which has so long been commemorated in obedi once to the inspiration of John Adams, by the ringing of bells the display of fireworks, and the firing of cannon."

SPAIN. MADRU>,Feb 28'.— The Re forma, the best paper published in Madrid hays, in relation to the Cuban revolution, that the continu ance of the struggle is to be void of any oth er result than rum to Spain, and urgently suggests the expediency of a compromise, if it !>• on the terms of a separate and evi-n an j independent government for the island. MADRID, Feb. 27. —During the session of Constituent Cortes, last evening, Prime Mini-t-r Marshall Serrano said that not withstanding the retirement of the late pro visional government, the members who had composed it would still retain seats in the ('ortcs. He also sai l that the policy ot the government would be to follow the pro gramme which the revolution had estab lished. An early effort would be made to disarm the attacks ot the Republicans by reducing the expenditures in all quarters, and pur-uing a liberal p><lic.v generally. He rigretted that the liberal reforms which had I e.-n conteinplat'd fir Cuba bad been necessarily delayed by reason of the in-ur rection there. THE editor of tbe New York Commercial ; Advertiser, who saw John C. Brei-kenridge ; lurin< his hrieftarry in that city, last week, j says : "We could not hut. remark the al terations which time and exile had made in his personal appearance. He does not look like the same, man who vrars ago presided with so much grace and dignity in the Sen ate of the United States. A thoroughly jaded and careworn expression is upon his face, and the once glossy black hair is thickly strewn with gray. The urbanity, gen tlemanly breeding and courteous air which made hiui a shining figure in the gay ranks of Washington society before the war, ate •till apparent, however, and point more keenly to the regrets that we feel, that the dark spell f f treason should Imve turned this gifted Kentuokian from his allegiance." IMPORTANT DECISION. Chief Justice Woodward of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, lias delivered the following opinion, which is important to our merchants, manufacturers, workingtuen, and, in fact thepenpla of the wholecouotry. He says : "I find 'Hooffland's Gcrmau Bit ters' is not an intoxicating beverage, but is a good tonic, useful in disorders of the di gestive oigans, and of great benefit in Cases of debility, ana want of nervous action in the system. - ' No better recommendation could be given so valuable a tunicas this celebrated standard B'trcrs. "Hoofland's German Bitters" contains no Alcoholic ma terial. "Hooflands' German Tonic," is a tnix lure containing ail the ingredients of Hoof land's Bitters, combined with pure Santa Cruz Rum, orange, ani-e. &c., forming the be-t and most pleasant Tonic in the world. Principal Office, 631 Arch St., Philad a, Pa. Soli everywhere by Druggi-ts aud others. A recent >uit against an insurance com pany before the Supreme Court of Missouri, led to a decision of wide interest. The company resisted payment of a loss, on the ground that the application for the policy did not (jive accurate answers to questions concerning the character of the title to the property, The holder of the policy respon ded with proof that he had made a frank and full statement of the facts to the com pany's agent, when he was soliciting the in surauce, and that after this statement the agent, saying it made no difference, filled in the inaccurate an-wers in the application. The Court held the company re-poneible for this action ol its agent, and required the payment of the loss. The principle thus eslablisli-.d is of wide application, especially iu life insurance companies, wtiose agents are often tempted to slur over doubtful cir cutustancesconcerning the health or antece dents o! applicants, in order to secure the issue of the policies. THE Prince .- Ba-'ciochi, who recently di <!, and who is offieiilh described as aunt of the Emperor o' the French, though she did not stand in that degree of relati n-hip to him, was a singular character. Win n resident at Route, siiue years ago, she dis carded the no-of beds and of th< voice in summoning dome tics, but fired pistols to bring t hem to her—one pistol shot for her footman, two for her maid three for the coachman, and soon. An Italian, who was living at Rome at the time she was there, tells me that strangers used to he terribly puzzled to divine what the popping of pistols in her palace could mean. A GRAND CONSUMMATION— The an luvemetit has been made officially that the first railway to the Pacific ocean, in *hich the Government has so largo a stake, ai.d whii h must have a Commanding ititiii i t.ce on the trade of' the world, will fie fin ished in June of this year, and its grand opening will probably tak" place on the en suing Fourth of July. A fact so stupen dous is wol! calculated lo excite universal interest. Marking, as it does, a new era in vilizition, it will also initiate some ex traordinary revolutions in the commerce, productions, manufactures, policies, and manners of the age. It is impossible to to conceive, much less to calculate the results. THE Fourth National Bank of Philadel phia, located on Arch street, near Bth, sus pended payment on Tuesday morning, in consequent* of the fiaud of its Cashier, a Mr. M Mullen, amounting to SIOO,OOO. It is the opinion of the President of the Bank that there can be no loss to depositors—the note holders are of course protected—and he hopes that even the capital of the Bank is unimpaired. M'Mu len, the cashier, says that, the missing money from the bank was lent to various parties, from whom he expects to tecover a considerable parr. He has not named the parties, but says he will. The famine has returned to India, and is spreading fast in many of the roost pnpu lous districts. The Governnn nt is doing what it can to relieve the distress by fur ni-hing food and employment to the really helpless, and there are some of the States which possess surplus crops large enough to export quantities of grain to the desti tute districts; but it is feared th it before re lief systems can be fully organized starva tion will make sad ravages among the peo pie. At any rate, destitution and disease are scourges which government charity will hardly he able to ward off. The unsuccessful experiment which the Crown Prince of Prussia has made with his model farm, gives rise to many jests at his expense at the Court of Potsdam. Some time ago he entertained some English guests, and. when cheese was served up to them at dessert, he said to them, "Gentlemen, I am sore this is the most ejpen-ive chee-e you have r-ver eaten," and when bis goe-ls looked inquiringly at him, he added, "l'ou see, this cheese was made at niv model farm, and I must be very much mistaken but it cost me it- weight in gold." A girl in Nashville, Tcnn., was tried and convicted for stealing a dime-mi ring from her employer. Notwithstanding her con stant declarations of innocence, and the hit ter tears at the di-grare, she was sent to jail merely on circumstantial evidence. A week afterward her employer, while pulling on a pair of boots which he had not worn for sev oral days, felt something in one of them, and upon an examination he discovered the ring. VI I LI.I AM M' KENNAN, one of the Pennsyl vanians alluded to as a probable Cabinet officer, i- a relative of General Grant by marriage, has acquired a distinguished rep utition at. the barot Western Pennsylvania. Altli -ugh he lias mingled but little in public all sirs, he has, nevertheless, professiona'ly and otherwise, given abundant proofs of his hereditary tight to the high character and great intellectual capacity which dis tinguishe.d his father, the late Thomas M. T. M Kennan. V ETOES. —Andrew Johnson'* vetoes will render vetoes so ridiculou, that no future Executive will indulge in the luxury without measuring the effect well beforehand. The Copper Tariff bill was returned to the House vetoed on Tuesday. Some halt dozen short Speeches were made, and the bill was then parsed over the veto —115 to 58. A GENTLEMAN in Auburn recently dropped his waller, and several hundred dollars in the morning while going out of his yard. His dog saw it drop in the snow and staid by it all day, until the ma-ter's return home, when the faithful animal attracted his attention, aod pawed it front under the scow. THE PUBLIC FAITH —Congress, by ma joritie* of two thirds, ha-, after full delib- . eratiou, united in the following declaratory - act: AN ACT RELATING TO THE PUBLIC DEBT. Be it enacted, That in order to remove any doubt as to the purpose of Government to di-charge all ju->t uhligatiens to public creditors, and to settle conflicting question! and interpretations of the laws by virtue of which such obligations have been contracted it is hereby provided and declared that the faith of the United States is solemnly piedg ed to the payment in coin or its equivalent of all the obligations of the United States, except in cases where the law authorizing the issue ofany such obligation has expreealy provided that the aatue may be paid in law ful money, or other currency than gold and silver. SEC. 2. And be it further enacted. That any contract hereafter made s|eeifically payable in coin, and the consideration of which uiav lie a loan of coin, or a sale of property, or the rendering of labor orserviee of anv kind, the price of which as carried into the contract may have been sdju.-ted on the basis of the coin value thereof at the time of such sale or the Tendering of such serviee or labor, shall be legal and valid and may be enforced according to its terms. IN a recent conversation, General Grant expressed his opposition to the present bonded warehou>e > sy.Marn, and, wiib his characteristic pith "aud sense, specified the fatal error embodied in it. A report says: He thought on the whole that it encour aged foreign manufacturers to send hither all their surplus good-, to the exclusion of our own, to he stored by the United States, and kept ready for every favorable turn of the riiarket. II • -aid on the subject of the increase of his salary being mentioned which had been under discussion in Congress, "I shall live on what Congress give- me, spending, of course, every cent of it, and if more was given to uie I should spend it all. 1 have no desire, and do not expect to save any thing from n>v salary, whatever it may be, for my kind friends have placed me in a posi tion which leaves uie free from all anxiety about future want, or the want* of my chil dren. We shall have enough to live on, and it is better for them (meaning his chil dren) tha' they no not rely too inacb upon money." GENERAL SHERIDAN, since the close of the Indian war, is bending hi energies to weeding out desperate and lawless white men from the Indian Territory. In the latter part of January he issued an order sending beyond the limits of the territory Dr. Holmes. Don Carlos and R. T. Wakelev, formerly Indian agents, for inducing Indians to steal cattle. Samuel Piersou is also or dered out of the territory, the General believing him to be an improper person to remain in proximity to the Indians. It is stated that an able engineering office', who wa-ehi'f-of-staff of oneof the promi nent Generals of the rebel army of the Southern Oonf-deracy, left this coun'ry for Cuba some time ago, to take a leading po sition in the command of the Cuban revo lutionary forces. There are reports from the South that many of the old rebel officers are eager to find their way to Cuba. An official count, de lucting Georgia and Louisana, and sr.rt.rij eont^s'elseat*, gives a two-thirds Republican majority in the next House of Representatives. This is well, but we do not see that it is a matter of such immense rejoicing as some of our cotemno raries seem to suppose. It is not hkely that Louisiana can I* long denied representation, or Georgia either, and so the two-thirds will lie hut short-lived. MR. MCPHERSON Clerk of the House, has made a roil-call tortlie foutth of March. A'fer excluding the representatives from Louisiana and Georgia, and several contes ted seat-the membership foots tip to one hundred and thirty-seven Republican", and stxtv two Democrats, thus giving the Re publicans more than two thirds. The Demo crats claim seventy one members. GENERAI, GRANT, in conversation rela'ive to proposed legislation for Georgia, stated that he thought the Georgia delaga'ion outh' to l>e admitted in Congress. He did not approve "f the action of the Georgia I-egislature in expelling the negro memlters, but he thought the courts could remedy the matter. THE next statement of the public debt is expected to -how a reduction of about $lO.- OOO.OIW. The heavy payments for interest have been completed, and the receipts of the pa-t month have exceeded the expendi tures by the amount specified. A CITIZEN of Monterey, Cab, refused to receive iuto hi- hands a telegraph dispatch from a neighboring town, because the small pox was raging at the place where the tei gram came from.

Colds, Whooping Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma, and Consumption. Probably never before in the whole history of medicine, has anything won so widely and to deeply npon the confidence of mankind, es this excellent remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through along scries of years, and among most of the races oi men it has risen higher and higher in their estimation, as it hits become better knows. Its uniform character and power to cure the vari ous affections of the lungs and throat, hare made it known as a reliable protector against tbetn. While adapted to milder forms of disease and to young children, it i at the satne time the most effectual remedy that can be given lor incipient consumption, and tbe dangerous affections of the thrwat and lungs. Asa provision ogainst sudden attacks of Croup, it should be kept on hand in ev. ery family, and indeed as all are sometimes sub. ject to colds and coughs, all shoold be provided with this an'idote for them. Although settled consumption is thought incur able, stilt great numbers of cases where tbe dis ease seemed seuleu, have been completely cure! end the patient restored to sound health by the Cherry Pectoral. So complete is its mastery over the disorders of tbe Lungs aDd Throat, that the most obstinate of them yield to it. When nothing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pectoral they subside and disappear. Singers and publio speakers find great protec tion fiom it. Asthma is always relieved and often wholly cured by it. Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the Cherry Pectoral in small and frequent doses. So generally arr ite virtues known that we need not publish the certificates of them here, or do more than assure the public that its qualities are fuily maintained.
