covering all the provisions of tho mili

constitutional amendment ; declaring
that schools, freo to all colors, should bo

the Southern States from the Union un

Mr. 15UCKALKW. I ri-e to express
the opinion that tho Senator from Mas
sachusetts Is not open to criticism for the
sentiments which he has expressed upon
this occasion, nor for the position which
he has n-uint'il. Tito former are Justl
Jled by fact-, which areopen and known
to all ; and the latter is a necessity im-
po-ed upon lilin as the reprcsentativeof
a special cuiss 01 people 111 the country.
He says that these States to 'bo called
into being under the provisions ot this
and a prior bill will be States bom of
the bayonet ; in other word', of milita
ry power. This llgure or speech repre
sents nothing but tho actual, honest, no
torious, intll-piitablo truth. The section
of country about which our legi-kitlon
Is now concerned, Is bv act or Congress)
divided Into live military departments,
and over each of these is, or is to be,
placed an ollicer not les in rank than a
brigadier general of the Army of the
United States, with power to take juris
diction not only of civil all'air.s but to
oxcivi-o ctiniitial Juri-dlction, to insti
tute military tribunals, both courts
martial and military couinii-sions, for
the trial and punishment ot oueu
di't's, anil with no limitation upon the
power of the military dictator set over
the district, except that when ho propo
ses to take life there may be an appeal
tu the President of the United States.
That is tlm condition of thing's now es
tablished by the act to which tills hill is
u supplement.
Novv.sir. what does this bill do? It
provides In a section of country thus
siibiected to military rule tho most un
limited, for the organization of civil
governments, State governments; and
howv l ho military coniiiiaiiuer 01 me
ili-trii't U to appoint wlionisous-er lie
pleases to act under what.-oover rules he
may prescribe, according to ills uwn
pleaure, his own unregulated will, os
agents and olllcers to execute tho plan
,,f i-niir-mnlzation nronoscd, And these,
bis appointees, owing no obedience to
any known law, mid without rule or
regulation for their conduct other than
that which be shall prescribo.aro to pro
ceed to enumerate tho inhabitants, or
rather to register tho electors among
them, preliminary to, what? Why, sir,
to their excrciso of tho most valuable
and fundamental privilege of freemen
tho institution of government for
themselves. And for nny ubiHo of
power, for any fraud, for any corrup
tion, for any outrage, for any miscon
duct whatever, this bill and its prede
cessor aro utterly destitute of any pro
vision for punishment.
And then what next? After tho re
turn, am Hindi! to tills military com
mander lie has control of tho assem
bling of tliueonvontion uy which a con
siliiitlnn Is to bo formed. All subsiv
.motif iirneo oiiinnsi uti to tho (lino when
(lie plan Is coiisiimated, so far ns it can
i.oomisiiniiimteil In theStateconeeriiod.
Is to bo under his absolute control. Anil
we lire Inlil in tills debate that It will
i. liniirtiiier for Us lo Insert any regula
ti, i whatever to nrevent fraud or to
tiii. mi ii't i'ill uu- to horcmitur. (ill
cient, and fair to tho citizen. Wo will
objected to tho Senator from Massachti'
setts that ho comes forward Jiero near
tho close of the debate, at a late hour In
the evening, with a new proposition;
with a condition, or n guarantee, or a
provision, (however you may describe
it,), which looks to something further,
which looks to something beyond what
has heretofore been proposed. Xow,
sir, I justify tho Senator from Massa
chusetts for thisus well as for his descrip
tion of tiic-o new States or of tho man
ner in which they aro to como into ex
istence, rue senator irom -viassacnu
setts is the nioneer of r.tritution unon
tins uoor, and 110 lias lined mat position
lor years. 1 nave not oecn an inmu ii
tive observer of tho general course of
debate and of the ceneral succession of
events in this Chamber and In thisCiov
erninent during tho last live or lx
vears. Anil. sir. the propositions which
the Senator from Mas-acliusetts makes
one year, and which are criticised by his
colleagues us extreme, liuippruiniuie

of CiiiiL'ress the character of the prorio
sitlonsand of the arguments with which

proclaimed with lorcoaud lratiKtiess.
Now, sir, the Senator from Massachu
setts sees as clearly as I see, and as oth
er rellei'ting men see, that tills measure
of reconstruction, as it is facetiously
termed, adopted at tho late session, to
which tho present bill is a supplement,

country upon this subject of reconstruc
tion and upon the relations 01 1110 two
races in the southern country ; and with
that caution which a sagacious man is
bound to exercise, or at least may well
exercise, ho gives us notico in ndvnnco
that this gulf is not closed up, that there
are debates and (lilllculties and questions
in tho future, and that warm passions
will lie abroad. When the reconstruc
tion bill, so-called, was passed near tho
close of tho into si's-ion, 1 endeavored
then, stating my views upon that sub
ject, to give reasons for believing that it
was not a measure of adjustment. I do
not believe that Congress nlono will ev

iiculty about which we have had war,
and about which wo are now passing
laws 1 mean the relatlotisof raco and
it never will be settled until it is set

when it shall be decreed by them that
there shall be a settlement ; when they

disputes with till the troubles which at

1 say, then, that in my opinion the
Senator from Mus-aclui-cUs stands Jus
tified by the necessities of his position
a- the pioneer man of Ids political or
ganization in saving tho point of honor
fur hlniself for tho future, in preparing
himself to point back In future times to
this very debute nnd to other debates of
the present session, in which ho has in
dicated clearly that your contrivances
fur patching up a hollow treaty of peace
between tho Xorth and South did not
deceive or bind him, and that ho should
be at perfect liberty to re-umo or con
tinue that rareer of imitation which no
doubt his friends think useful, but
which those who did'er .from him in
opinion must bo permitted to think per
nicious."

t n lecluro delivered at tho Cooper
Institute tho following suggestions wero
mado on "Animal Heat, 011 tho Influ

Long Iilfo;"
Tho lecturer commenced bv savlntr
that ho would speak upon food nnd
drink. As these topics wero closely
connected with that of digestion, ho
would recapitulate some points spoken
or In a previous lecture. Ho then ex
plained, with tho aid of models con
structed for the purpose, tho various or
gans of digestion. Tho slivato glands

and still be in cood order. How was it
that they so commonly failed us before
tho middle ago had been reached? Tho
answer was to be found In tho largo
quantity of hot liquids taken Into the
mouth, nnd tho inordinate amount of
sweets consumed. The tongtio and tho
rax lined minor functions in tho work
of digestion. Diseases of tho throat

system. Tho blood, supplied witli oxy
gen from tho lungs, was thus purified
nnu vitalized. The lecturer then en
larged upon tho great importance of
his theme. Tho blood depended upon
the diue-tion. Tho health, hnuslness.
cheerfulness, intellect, faith, religion,
whole character, were dependent in a
largo degreo upon tho duality of the
blood. Tho food wo eat and the way
in which It Is cooked nnd eaten wero
thus widely influential In life. It was
more important to reirulato (ho food
than tho teaching of tho rj-Itiir (fenera
tion. Ignorance was more out of place
in the kitchen than any where eNe. The
lecturer went on to speak of tho vari
ous kinds of food in their relative di
gestibility, etc. This portion of the
leeturu was illustrated uv a peculiar
"bill of fare." Tho various comesti
bles wero arranged in a list indicating
their respective qualities as allbrdlng
nutriment, heat or calcareous matter to
the system. From this list it appeared
that potatoes contrary to the usually
received opinion were not a cheap ar
ticle of food, containing seventy-four
hundredths of water and but little
nourishment. They should never bo
boiled, the (rue object being to get as
much of tlio water out or them as pos
sible, or grains, rice and oats were the
most largely nourishing; wheat, ryo
and corn were the next. The Scotch
Highlander Illustrated the amount of
courage and vitality to bo drawn from
oatmeal. His tenacity and bravery as
a soldier were proverbial. Of meats,
beef allbrded tho highest proportion or
nutriment, there being twenty-two
pounds or actual vitality In every hun
dred. It should bo so prepared as to
avoid any waste of its juices. The doc
tor advocated boiling it. Ilcaus and
peas exceeded beef in their nutritive
qualities. Of all food, pork is the least
nutritious and the most hurtful. It
should never be eaten In nny way. Xo

A LITTLE QUAKEHESS IN A

An nmuslntrmntrlmonlnl story Is told
of the olden time in Knglnnd. Itsofell
out that "two young peoplo beenmo
nt Inched to each odicr, ns young people
sometimes do. Tho young woman's
father was a wealthy Quaker, the young
man was "poor but respectable." Tho
father could stand no such union, and
resolutely opposed It, nnd tho daughter
dared notdlsobey openly. Sho mothlm

And what did Mary? Walt till tho
