OF REPREBENTATIVER. TheClert. Mr. McPherson, at 12 o'clock and Sr. Minutes, proceeded to read the President's Annual Messat±,e, The reading of the message was attentively followed by members Who had printed painphlet copies before them. Mr. SeUENCN. of • OlitcrtrioYed that the message ho referred to the ConiMittve of the Whole on the State of the Cnion. and printed.' In doing so, he said: I propose. inasmuch ' there is an. absolute necessity for turning our attention to many other things than a general discussion of t what the message coetains. to call the previous Titration on this motion, hnt before I do so f may be allowed to submit a remark or two in reference to the ciretunstanees under which the mes sage conusns. There is a great deal in that message w hich,•lthinktt probable, will command the assent of most of us. and there is a great deal more, especially that part which Mates to thererronstniction of States that have been in rebellion, breathing as it does a spirit. notonly of defiance. but I may even say of ill temper. towards Congress, which I apprehend will not, when we COMe TO discuss the contents of the message' in committee, pass without challenging criticism and comment. Wnen the message first carte in. I spoke of it as being apparently disrespectful that the Annual Message of the President should find its way into the public prints of tt e country. in at least all the lending cities. befog it had been communicated to Congress, to which it is addressed. I did not wish to be under stood as charging thatthe Powident himself was di rectly a party to such disposition of the messa.V. 1 did not say then. and I am somewhat confirmed inmy belief by information which I have had since. that, with or without the President beluga party to the ar rangement, perrions in his confidence have made traffic of the message for money. The gentleman from Pennsylvania. Mr. Getz, made an explanation. that it is the custom to :commit in trust to those around the President copies of the toes sage in advance. so that it may be published shunt taneously with its delivery to Congress, and that some body to his regret, has abused the confidence of the President. It may be that that is all there its of I hold in my hand what may be considered an official . printed copy, prepared at the Treasury Department. It has a title-page which describes it as the message of the President of the United States to the two houses of Congress at the commencement of the regular ses sion of the Fortieth Congress. Ido not know what is intended by that. It seems to have been thought by Congress, when It passed the act of the 22d of January last. providing that in addition to the present regular times of meeting of Congress there shall be a meeting on the 4th.day of March at the beginning of each Con gress. that it was adding another to the already ex isting number of regular meetings of Congress. and doing it by law. Ido not know who is responsible for this title page, but it looks to me as if somebody having the confidence of the President, has under taken a petty fling at Congress by an intimation at the very threshold that that legislation is not recognized ae worthy of being regarded as legal, or within its con national power . Mr. Ler:AN, ofillinols, referring to a paragraph in • the message as to the possibility of a vioient . collision betwee , l the Executive and Legielat lye departments of the government, raid that he felt very sorry there should be 191101 a i•ontingency, and that in order that all danger might be avoided he would offer a resolution to that effect. The resolution was read for information, as follows: ReAdred. That the corps of pages Which new con Stitutte the military forge of this House. be and the same is hereby abolished, to the 'end that the civil conflict so vividly described in a communication pub. lished in the morning papers. issued by Andrew John son. may be avoided. [Laughter ) iiielfliNCK, of Ohio, declined to admit the IV so ion, and insisted on the previous question. Mr. ririIIENSON appealed for an opportunity to make a remark, but his appeal was denied. Mr. Covcrof. had better success in a like appeal, and referring to what. be Inui tried to say before, he said that the me-sage had got to the newspapers through a direct purchase made by ono of the President's mars rounding's, and that a hundred dollars was paid tor it. The seller had afterwards disposed of comes to other parties at reduced prices, creat mg - a confusion in the market. tLaughter Mr. GE•rz. of Penney lvania, asked his colleague at what iime the side was made. Mr. Covonr. answered. yesterday evening.

TIM COTTON T A Mr. Sruh‘rit, i.om Commit tee of Ways and Means, reported a bill pinviding that all cotton grown in the - United States after theyear Thai shall be exempt from internal tax. Mr. FAI:NSWOTITh asked lMn if he would allow an L ineament to be offered repealing the tax on sugar.

One-fifth of it, be said. had alreadgbeen put upon the market: a very large portion of the.crop Itad already'passed from the hand, of the krowers into the hands of brokers and speculators, en that the growers would derive no ben efit from the passage of the law.

An aggregate value of 613,401,061 The issue of postage stamps, compared with the_ prey!. year., shows en increase of about 6.5 per cent., whilst the issue of stamped ens elopes has increased almost 61 per tint. 'ibis increase is attributable to the introduction of printing business cards and requests for return if not &s -livered. without additional cost. The Irene of this class of envelopes during the rear was increased 106 per cent. over tbat.of 18536. The prediction in list year's report that the use. of ouch envelopes would tend largely to reduce the number of dead letters has been - verified. The statistics given, under the head of dead letters, show that the nunmer has di. minished nearly one million ti ring the past year, anti that this gratifying result is attributable to the two of envelopes with a request for the return to the writers of unclauntd lettere directly from the post•oflice addressed. It t ie esti mated that fully fifty millions of these envelopes Were used during the year, the department supplying about one.thiLd of the number. The sales of postage 'stamps and stamped envelopes during the year amounted to 51'2, se! tsse Ste__lcaving unsold lb the tiande of postmasters $112,928:8. •••-• - a tie tength of routes has been increased over the pre ceding year, ,22,324 miles: the annual transportation, 7,144,875 miles; and cost, $1.706.812; to which adding in creased coat for rallwsy postal clerks. route; local. and other agente, $241,171, makes an aggregate of $1,546,973. The condition of the overland and territorial mail routes are fully and clearly set forth in the report; and very careful tabular statements of the rates of pay and weights of mull on railroad 'mites are given. • Compared with the recorde kept before the rebellion the service on the Southwestern route exhibits a marked fie, provement, both with regard to speed and regularity, this average time In each directicin being reduced about twen ty-two hours, and the proportion of trips performed in schedule time being increased from about one-halt the whole number then to nearly five-sevenths none reckon ing the schedule time at three and a half days until the 15th of June, and at three and a fourth days after that date, going south, and at three and a half days for the whole peri.id going north. There are now in operation la the United States eighs teen railway postal routes, extending in the aggregate over four thousand tour hundred and thirty-rive index, upon eight hundred and eeventy.nine miles of which twice daily service is performed, making a total equal to live thousand three hundred and fourteen miles of rail way postal service daily each way.

I am now prepared to furnish railroads throughout the United States with my Patent Railroad Switches. by the use of which the MAIN TRACK IS N EVER BROKEN, and it is impossible for any accident to occur front the, misplacement of switches. The saying in rails, and the great saving in wear of the waling stock, which is by this means provided with a level, smooth, and firm track at switches in place of the usual movable rails and the consequent severe blows caused by the open joints and battered ends, is a matter deguving the especial attention of ad Railroad Companies. AS A MATTER OF ECONOMY ALONE this inven tion needs only to be tried to insure its adoption; but beyond. the economy TILE PERFECT IMMUNITY FROM ACCIDENT caused by misplaced switches Is a subject not only of importance In respect to property saved from destruction, but it concerns THE LIFE AND LIMB OF ALL TRAVELERS UPON RAILROADS. • I refer to the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Com• pang, and to the New York and Haarlem Railroad Co.

Through a long series oT years, and among most of the races of men it has risen. higher and higher in their estimation , as it has become ,better known. Its uniform character and power to cure the various al. Notions of the lunge and throat, have made it known as a reliable protector against theme While adapte Ito milder forms of disease and to youni t children, ft is at the same time the moat effectual reme ' that can be given for sm. cipient consumption, and thedangerous affections of the throat and lungs. As a provision against sudden attacks of Croup, it should be kept on hand in every family, and indeed as all are sometimes Subject to colds and toughs. all should be provided with , this antidote for them. Although settled Qmsumption is thought Incurable, still great numbers 'of cues where the disease scorned settled, have been completelyeg y : l d v , and the patient re stored to sound health by the C Pectoral So coin. plots its mastery over the disorde of the Lungs and Throat, that the most obstinate of them yield to it. When nothing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pectoral they subside and disappear: 6tnaers and Publw Speakers find great protection from it. • ABthrita is always relieved and often wholly cured by R. Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the Cherry Pec toral in small and frequent doses. So generally are its virtues known that we need not publish the certificates of them here, or maintained. n assure the public that its qualities are fully. AYER'S AGUE CURE. FOR FEVER AND AGUE.

As its name implies, it does Cure,and does not fail. Con taining neither Arsenic, Quinine. Bismuth, Zinc, nor any other mineral or poisonous substance whatever, it in no wise injures any patient. The number and importance of its cures in the ague districts are literally' beyond an. count, and Ive,belreve without a parallel in the history of Ague medicine. Our pride is gratified by the acknowl ements we receive of the radical cures effected in ob. ntinate casee,and where other remedies had wholly failed. Unacelinu.ted persons, either resident in, or ' traveling through miasmatic localities, will be protested bytaking the AGUE CURE daily.
