'Special Despatch to the Bulletin].
WAsinamrpla, March 15.—Secretary Se
- ward, it is said, is preparing a proclamation
in regard to the Fenian movements. He
has been induced to take this
step at the instance of the British
Minister, who maintains that some positive
-declaration on the part of our government
ought to be immediately promulgated.
Secretary Seward informed the British Min
ister that he regarded the Fenian movement
as a most ridiculous farce.
Secretary McCulloch to-day informed a
Senator that he should take no notice what
ever of the letter of Comptroller Clark ;
neither should he ask the President to re
move him; in fact that he cared nothing
about it.
The last steamer from Europe brought
despatches from our Minister to Paris, giv
ing additional assurances that the Emperor
Napoleon intended ~to carry out in good
faith his declatations in regard to the with
drawal .of the French troops from Mexico.
Steamship San Jacinto Burned.
NEW YORE, March 15.—The steamer San
Jacinto, of the Savannah line, was burned
at her dock this morning, with 500 bales of
cotton and 5,000 bbls. of flour. Her hull
being of iron, was filled with water, but all
her wood-work was destroyed.
From California.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 14.—1 t has been
stated that the steamer Oriftame, which ar
rived on the 6th ult. from China, brought
advices of an advance of from 10a15c. per
lb. on tea. Upon careful inquiry it is as
certained that no public advices of this na
ture were received, and if such was the fact
it was known only to a few private parties
and not to the general public.
The files of papers brought by the Ori
name do not mention any particular change
in the tea market, and the major portion of
the trade discredit the reported advance.
Pennsylvania Legislature.
HARRISBURG, March 15, 1866.
SENATE.—Mr. Connell read bills relative_
to the collateral inheritance tax of Mrs.
Burd, and incorporating the Woodruff
Mining Company; and authorizing the
Fame Insurance Company to increase its
capital.
Mr. Nichols, one • incorporating the
Handel and Haydn Society.
Mr. White, one incorporating the Church
of Christ of America.
Mr. Ridgeway, one incorporating the
Pit Hole and Erie Railroad.
The bill authorizing the opening of polls
in Philadelphia and Lancaster at 7 o'clock,
A. M.. and closing at six, P. M., passed ft
nall.
HO y USE.—The act increasing the rate of
interest to seven per cent., was censidered.
Mr. Boyle offered an amendment allow
ing the rate of seven per cent., to be charged
only in cases where special contracts to that
effect are made.
The discussion took a very extended
range, embracing the question of finance in
almost every form. Among the objections
to raising the rate, it was urged that the
foreclosure of all outstanding six per cent.
mortgages would immediately take place.
On the other hand, it was said that capi
tal was sent from Pennsylvania to New
York for investment, because the latter
State allowed high rates of interest. The
note-shaving business was discussed, as
the effect of high rates of interest upon the
laboring classes.
Philadelphia was stated by Mr. Headman
to be far behind Boston and New York in
all commercial enterprises, but her claims
for stability and energy were supported by
her own members.
. Mr. Lee urged seven per cent. on the
ground that in New York, where the rate
was seven per cent., the bank capital, de
posits, circulation, etc., amounted to five
hundred million dollars, and in Boston,
where the rate is 7 3-10 per cent., to one
hundred and fifty-three million dollars,
against seventy-five million invested in the
like market in Philadelphia, where the rate
is six per cent. This was a strong reason
why Philadelphia should afford equal ad
vantages for the investment of money with
her sister cities.

In our report of yesterday's proceedings we inadver
tently omitted an important paper in reference to
Dickinson College at Carlisle. This famous and useful
institution has I , :ng been oppressed for want of an en
dowment, but the time of its redemption draweth nigh.
Internally the College is imost ably and stir • csfully
conducted by the Itvv. H. M. Johnson,D. D., Its ex
cellent President, and during the present year it is
proposed to endow the College by a portion of the
funds of the centenary contributions.
A communication from the ladles of the Methodist
Church of Phlladelphia was read, asking that the In
stitution of aDi ethodist Female College, -in the city of
Philadelphia, be made one of the objects of the cen
tenary offerings, was referred to the. committee on
centenary.
The Board of Stewards was authorized to draw upon
the centenary fund for $4B! 10, and appropriate it ac
.
cording to the charter.
The examinatiun of the character of effective np
lacers was resumed.
The Beading District was represented by its worXy
Presiding Elder, Rev. W. L. Gray, who stated that a
very considerable increase in the number of members
would be reported by the Preachers. Much bad been
done toward liquidating church debts, and the interests
of the District are healthy.
The names of the preachers in the District were
then caleo and their missionary collections reported,
which showed a general advance.
South Philadelphia District was represented by Rev.
Dr Castle, P. E. Restated that the District had been
during the past year greatly blessed of God. The
Pastors bad been very successful in and devoted to
their work. They would report, perhaps with very
few exceptions an advance in their missionary collec
tions.
Their names were all milled and passed.
Rev. T. J. Thompson, P. E., of Eastern District, gave
an account of his district, stating that, owing to toe
very general prevalence of bilious difficulties upon a
large part of the district, the labors of the pastors had
been interfered with during a part of the year. Not
ithstanding this, however, prosperity had attended
tae r ministry.
The names of the Preachers were called and passed.
Rev. J. A. Massey having long eei ved the church as
an effective member, asked with evident emotion a
place upon the retired list and made a supernumary
without appointment.
Rev. A. T. Scott was granted the same relation at his
own request.
Rev. S. Patterson was granted the same relation
ith an appointment.
The Conference, upon motion of Rev. T. A. Fernley,
ordered a session for this evening, at 73.‘" co - clock., for
the purpose of gearing a Conference sermon, to be
preached by the Rev. T. C. Murphy, upon the stitilect
of "The Relation of the Sunday School to the Church."
The services will be held in St. George's Church.
After notices the body. adjourned with the benedic
tion by Rev. Dr. Durbin.
Miser nary Anniversary,—We had the pleasure of
being present, last evening, at the Front Street M. E.
Church, where the Sunday School was holding its
missionary celebration. A more Interesting or beau
tiful scene of the hind we never witnessed, The
Pastor, Rev. T. A, Fernley, was in his element; each
of the classes presented their missionary offerings ter
the year, and a bouquet., which was placed in an ever
green cross about thirteen feet high. The whole was
surmounted by a beautiful floral crown, and pendant
from the floral cross were wreaths and an anchor of
flowers,

WASHINGTON,' March •• t

t t h h e ecc town nstr o u r ct, F lo o n um o m f a to rallr the o to ad wri an o d f
' ll ° ll6--thin)MlCin Of Mr. Rigbv (Cal.) the. Senate
Placerville:in the State of California, and also for:a
railroad and telegraph line from Placerville, to the
moat :feasible point of intersection with 'the Pacific
Railroad, In the State of Nevada, were taken from the
Speaker's table, read twice, and referred to the Com
mittee on the Pacific Railroad. . •
Air, Smith' (Ky.) obtained leave to make a personal
explanation, and be sent up to be read an article from
the Pittsburgh Gazette, in reference .to a resolution
c tiered :by him in December last, admitting to the
privileges of the floor Col; Johnson of Arganms, mem
ber elect from that State.
hdr. Stevens (Pa.) said that be did not see that this
was a personal explanation, and he was not willing
that the morning hour should be expended in defend
ing-somebody else.
h.fr. Smith replied with much excitement in
his 'manner, that he had. -no doubt tiles'
gentleman from Pennsylvania .thought
this was rather a curious question; but he was deter
mimed to let him understand that he stood here will.
Mg and able and determined to defend a soldier.of the,
Union. let thehttack com e from what quarter itmay.
• hdr. Stevens-7ben I object to any defenee of a sol
dier of the Union by the gentleman, =ilea It be a' de
fence of himself. His remarks are not pentOnal.to
bimself.
The Speaker stated that the gentleman from Men
tucky'had asked unanimous consent to make a perso
nal explanation: that the Chair twice eaked whether
there was any objection, and that no objection hadbeen
Made. 'The gentleman should, however, confine him:-
self to a personal explanation, and not open a..vridet
range ot debate in regard to other suhdedth add-Per. -
sons.
The article in question was read by the Clerk. _
Mr. Morrill (Vt.).made the question of ordet.
t here was nothing in that article relating to the ißmt
tleman from Kentucky. '
The Speaker—The gentleman from 'Kentucky allegett
that it la intended to reflect upon him for having of
fered a resolution to admit a rebel representative,
He desires to vindicate himself. The Chair thinks
that comes clearly within the purview of a pertiernal
explanation, and opens a wide range of debate.
Mr. Banks (Mass.) in support of the decision of the
Chair. said it had been always understood that when
the House. gave unanimous consent to a member; tti
make a personal explanation, it waived all its rules,
and the member himself was the only jadgefof what
was necessary to explain his personal posit on. -That
was the uniform ground taken, and that was in order
to warn the House against giving unanimous consent.
Mr.Wasliburne (Ill.) said that had always been the
understanding, and he fatly concurred with what the
gentleman from Massachusetts had said.
The Sneaker stated that he bad always in sistedesinue
he had occupied the Chair,that a gentleman in um
a pers , nal explanation must state grounds on wrgi
be +5 aggrieved, and must render his remarks in some
degree relevant to that subject. The Chair thinks there
is reason in that, and that the gentleman from Ken
fucky is clearly in order while vindicating himself
trom what he deems an unjust attack
upon him for suffering a resolution giving the
privileges of ,he floor to a member elect, who, as is
asserted in the article, read "sharpened his tooth-pick
on the skulls of Union soldiers."
Mr. Smith went on to discuss the status of the late
rebel States, denouncing the theory that they were
out of the Union as a "damnable heresy."
Mr. Broomall (Pa.) raised the point of order that the
language used by the gentlemen from Kentucky was
out of order in pronouncing the opinion of a majority
of the House "as a damnable heresy."
Mr. Smith—l did not say anything about the ma-
Jority. I said that the opinion entertained by the
House in that connection was 'damnable.'"and
I repeat that, and I say further—
The Speaker—The Chair sustains the point of order.
The gentler/ an has no right to r% Beet in such language
en the decision or action of the House.
Mr. Smith—l did not reflect on the decision o.
House.
r. Banks—Then the question arises whether the
gentleman shall be allowed to proceed in order.
Mr, Stevens—l object: we have had enough of it.
Mr. Smith (excitedly)—l suppose you have, but not
so much F.. you will have.
The Speaker.—The gentleman from Kentucky, un
der the demand made that the rules shall be enforced,
must take his seat. The Chair will have the rule read.
The rule was read by the Clerg.
Mr Broomall-1 demand now the enforcement of the
rule.
The Speaker—The question is, shall the 'gentleman
from Kentucky be allowed to proceed in order.
The question was taken by yeas and nays, and leave
was refused by a vote of 55 ayes to 70 noes.
Mr, Smith. again rising—l rise to a personal expla
nation.
Mr. Morrill catied for'... -- sgular order: of business
but finally the House agreed to give the gentleman
from Kentucky five minutes time.
Mr. Smith said that he understood it had been ob
served by some member that a remark. which he had
made a moment ago, was the reason why he had been
refused leave to proceed.
That remark was intended for the gentleman from
Pennsylvania (Mr. Stevens). That gentleman's lan
guage was that he bad enough of what I was saying,
and I remarked. - very well, it may be that you have,
but I will give you more of it."ll
My object was to be personal to aim and :.171 i 0 ithe
use.
Mr. Smith closed his remarks by a r decimation of
love to the Union and sworn hostility to secession.
