'Tilt it 'was at their • s banets the Romans .- d i - r sts isses sst. • splayed the greatest luxury and extrava larK ' price. No people ever thought more of the s tritk, pleasures o f the table. And the prodigality • °Auif 1. was seen not only in the indulgence of the s. .deg` • • ses palate bythe choicest dainties, but in ar s Te es • tides which commrinded, from their rarity, the higheiit prices. They not only sought to s It eat daintily, but to increase their capacity • . -, '. 1 by unnatural means. The maxim, "It fact `,.titie, , mangerpour vivre of non pas vivre pour Vi.., .r manger,' was reversed. At the fourth hour d's.s.` ' , they btsakfasted on bread, grapes, olives and b‘,.'''' ~,'' cheese and eggs; at the sixth, they lunched 9.,..` : 1 ' still more heartily; and at the ninth hoer 4 frE; if l iss, they dined; and this meal, the czena, was •. the . principal one, whici,i consisted of three s " '!,,„ . i' parts : .The first—the gustus—was made up •: - ,1,.` of dishes to provoke an appetite, shell-fish and iliquant sauces; the • second—the si, , ' fercult—composed of different courses; and ' -. the third—a dessert/ a mensw—composed of '.',''''• s fruits and pastry. Fish were the chief object 4.,',, ;, of the Roman epicures, of which the mulles, s . .s s - .s' 4. the rhombus and the aszelus were the most k . i si - I'' ,'s it. valued. It is recorded that a mullus (sea liar ssirS4,, ' .') .' bel), weighing but eight pounds, sold for eight r 7. , . ., .) thousand sesterees. O; titers from the Lueriac ''' .. Lake were in great demand. Snails were IA t in ponds for the purpose, while the villas of s 5. , .' the rich had their piscinte filled with fresh or •'s ) ks i ' v salt water fish. Peacocks and pheasants ' . were the most highly esteemed among poultry, although the absurdity prevailed of , eating singing birds. Of quadru peds, the greatest favorite was the wild boar, the chief dish of a grand ctena, and came whole upon the table, and the praeticed • gourmand pretended to distinguish by the taste from what part ofltaly it came. Dishes, the very name of which excite disgust, were used at fashionable banquets, and held in high esteem, Martial devotes two entire books of his "epigrams" to the various dishes and ornaments of a Roman banquet. He ,'refers to almost every fruit and vegetable and meat that we now use—to cabbages, leeks, turnips, asparagus, beans, bee,ts,peas, lettuce, radishes, mushrooms, truffles, pulse, lentils, among vegetables;to pheasants, ducks, doves,: geese, capons, pigeons, partridges, peacocks, Numidian fowls, cranes, woodcocks, swan', among birds; to mullets, lampreys, turbots, oysters, prawns, chars, murices, gudgeons, pikes, sturgeons, among fish; to raisans, figs,. quinces, citrons, dates, plums, olives, apri cots, among fruit; to sauces and condiments; to wild game,and to twenty different kinds of wine; on all of which he expatiates _like au epicure. lie speaks of presents made to guests at,feasts, the tables of ivory and parch ment, the dice-boxes,style cases, tooth-picks, golden hair-pins, combs, ponnatum, paras fis. oil flasks tooth powder balms and perfumes, slippers, dinner couches, citron tables, an tique vases, gold chase cups, snow strainers, jeweled and crystal vases, rings, spoons, scar let cloaks, table covers,Cicilian socks, pillows, girdles, aprons, mattresses. lyres, bath-bells, statues, masks, books, musical instruments, and other articles of taste, luxury or neces sity. The pleasures of the table, however, are ever uppermost in his eye, and the luxu ries of those whom he could not rival, but which he reprobates: si ., .., "Nor mullet delights thee, nice Betic, nor thrush.; 'The hare with the sent, nor the boar with the tusk ; No sweet cakes or tablets, thy taste so absurd, Nor Libya need send thee, nor rhasis, a bird. But capers and onions, besoaking,in brine, And brawn of a gammon scarce doubtful and thine. 01 garbage, or ilitch of hour tunny, thou'rt vain ; The rosin's.thy joy, the Falernian thy bane." Ile, thus describes a modest dinner, to • - which he, a poet, invites his friend Turantus: "If you are suffering from dread of a melan choly dinner at home, or would take a pre paratory whet, come and leilet , with me. You will find no want of Cappadocian lettuces and strong leeks. The tunny will lurk 'seder' slices of eggs, a cauliflower not enough to • burn your fingers, and which his just lett the garden, will be served fresh on a black plat ter, white sausages will-float on snow-white porridge, and the pale bean will 'accompany the red-streaked bacon. In the second course, raisins will be set before you, and ,• . pears which pass - for Syrian, and roasted chestnuts. The wine you will prove in drinking it. 4fter all this, excellent olives si will come to your relief, with the hot vetch ' ? , and the tepid lupine. 4 "-' Next to the pleasures of the table, the pas d' lion sion for expensive furniture seemed to be the 41 , , . • prevailing folly. We read of couches gem &. , rued with tortoise shells, and tables of citron its , t,.. , wood from Mlles. Silver and gold vases. 0 : Tables also, of Mauritanian marble, sup , ported on pedestals of Lybian ivory; cups of ni" crystal; ail sorts of' silver-plate, the master pieces of alsro, andthe handiwork of l'raxi teles, and the engravings of Phidias. Gold services adorned the sideboard. Couches were covered with purple silks; chairs elabo rately carved; costly , mirrors hung against • the walls, and bronzed lamps were sus pended from the painted ceilings.

Insapid Sermons—What a Dean Says. .The Dean of Carlisle has' published a paper on "Insipid Sermons," read by him at a pri vate conference of the Evangelical Union of the diocese of Carlisle England, held in that city recently. The thesis submitted to Dr. CI 4,e by the committee had been, "What are the causes which have led to te corn plaint of the insipidity of the modern pulpit? How far this complaint is just? What is wanted in order to raise the tone of preaching generally in the Church of England. ?". Upon the first two of these propOsitions the dean acknowledges he can give no satisfac tory or practical answer. One thing, how ever, is certain—that in the complaint there is nothing peculiar to our times. Speaking generally, nothing could be more capricious, inconsistent or unfair than many of the opin ions passed by the press or by individuals . upon preachers and their sermons; and in ninny instances the fault lies with the hearers themselves. But, fearing that any conclu sion at which he might arrive relativd to these first two questions must be in a great measure speculative an uncertaio,he proceeds to the solution of the third question, "Whatis .wanted in order to raise the tone of preach . ing generally in the Church of England?" He begins this investigation with a consideration of the character and principles of the preacher himself. " 'Deeply am I persuaded,' says the dean, `that almost all the important deficiencies observed and lamented in modern sermons must thus be traced to the heart, the secret, individual experience of the preacher himself. It is much to be lamented, though, as I fear, quite unavoidable, that young men especially arc corupelled to preach and to teach when it were better for themselves and others that they were yet permitted time to .study and to learn much about men and things and their own souls.' But in another point of view, the personal and private every-day character of the pastor has much to do with the effect of his preaching; and next in importance to the character of the preacher himself is the nature of his previous preparation. Without this the composition must be, in the truest sense of the word, 'insipid.' If I were re quired in two words,' continues the dean, 'to give the principal cause of dull, insipid, un edifying sermons, I should say, I hope with out ofience, but in all sincerity, and faithful ne*s;-' indolence and idleness in the "study.' He said: " 'All kinds of disagreeable sounds may be heard in our pulpits, from the monotonous sing-song - of the ritualist, to the ravings of the meeting-house; but the most common evil of all is dull uniformity; which, in reading the service, travels on through confession, and adoration, and praise, and creed, in one dis mal unison of expression, without emphasis or variety; and in the pulpit continues the same unmeaning sounds, though subjects of the most profound and thrilling interest may be so conveyed. Artificial extremes are always to be avoided; but why should re lined, correct and appropriate speaking be cultivated at the bar, in the senate and on the stage, while it is neglected or despised in the pulpit ? it can only be accounted for by the traditional notion, derived from a bygone, slumbering age, that everything in religion and in the church should be reduced to a dull Uniformity. But be this as it may, lam bold t;) ae.sert that all other suggestions for impart ing new life to our pulpit exercises will be tendered nugatory if precision of utterance, (tit:iambs of voice and enunciation, suitable i tul,r‘ SSiVOlleBB, and earnestness of manner be neglected or despised.' Eashionable Dinner Party in Abys minim'. A. great degree of skepticism has been en 'tertained in regard to the mode of supplying brinde or raw meat to the guests of the fash ionable parties at Gondar, the capital of Abys sinia. When the company have taken their seats at the table, a cow or bull is brought to the door, and his feet strongly tied; after which the cooks proceed to select the most' delicate morsels. Before killing the animal, all the flesh on the buttocks is cut off in solid square picces„without bones or much effusion of blown Two or three servants are then employed, who, as fast as they can procure. brinde, lay 'it upon cakes of tell placed like dishes down the table, without cloth or anything else be neath them. By this time all the guests have knives in their hands, and the men prefer the large crooked ones, which in the time of war they put to all sorts of uses. The com pany are so ranged that one gentleman sits between two ladies; and the former, with his long knife, begins by nutting a thin piece, which would be thought a good steak in Eng land, while the motion df the fibres is yet perfectly distinct. In Abyssinia no man of any fashion feeds ,himself' or touches his own meat. The wo men mite the ash and cut it lengthwise like strings, about the thickness of one's little finger; then crosswise into square pieces somewhat smaller than dice. This they lay upon a portion of the Leff bread, strougiy powdered with blaciLpepper, or cayenne_ and fossil salt, and then wrap it up like a cart ridge. In the meantime, the gentleman, having put up his knife, with each hand rest ing upon his neighbor's knee, his body stoop ing, his head low and forward and mouth open very like an idiot, turns to the one whose cartridge is first ready, who stuffs the whole of it between his jaws at the imminent risk of choking him. This is a mark of grandeur. The greater the man would seem to ,be, the larger is the piece which he takes into his mouth, the more noise he makes in chewing it, the more polite does he prove himself. None but beggars and. thieves, say they, cat small pieces in silence. having despatched this naorsol,which he does very expeditiously, his neighbor on the other hand holds forth a- second pellet, which he devours iu the same way, and so on till he is satisfied. lie never drinkstill hk has finished eating; . and before he begins,iii gratitude' to the fair ones who have fed him, he, makes up two small rolls of the same kind and form, each of the ladies opens her mouth atonce, while with his own hand he supplies a portion to ,bOthit the same moment. Then - commence `the potations which, we aro assured, are not regulated with much regard to sobriety or decorum. All this time the unfortunate vic tim at the door is bleeding,hilt bleeding little; for so skillful are the butchers, that while they strip the bones of tb.c flesh, they avoid - , TiIEnDAILY.EVtNtiVi 1417LLETTN. - PHILVO PT PP - T TIT 1.

General Howard, Commissioner of the Freed nee', , Bureau, has received a report from Brevet Brigadier- General Sewnll, Acting. - Asslitant : Inspector-General, dated Bony Springs, • Misslssippl, December 2il, and giving a statement of a late tour of Inspection through the States of South Carolina, Georgia, and Mississippi. With regard to matters in Georgia; General 'Sewall states that they are generally in a satisfactory condi tion. in the upper counties the freedmen ar : doing but the reports from the lower counties and the southern part of the State indicate that there is some lawlessness among them, resulting from the unsettled condition of affairs In that part of the State. The planters are unable to nay their hands, thus pro ducing discontent, and, no doubt, in many instances the freedmen haVe sought remedy forsupposed wrongs In act's of violence, but this hag prevailed to no great extent, and General Sewall had learned of no serious outbreak. The complaints aro that the negroes plunder, and,' in some instances, Seize the cropti for their wages. , General Lewis was to leave Atlanta for that part of the State on, the 30th ult. to personally investigate hese complaints and inaugurate measures to prevent their recurrence. General Sewall also writes that at present there is little or no destitution in that State and no need o f aid, except to the hospitals and asylums. The Super. intendent of Schools is prosecuting the work vigor. ously and with the most practical results. Genera Sewall bad had a long interview with General Ord, in relation to matters in Mississippi, as also with citi zeris and persons from different parts of the State. lie expresses some difference of opinion with Gen eral Ord as to there being much cause for apprehen_ 'ion of serious trouble there. Considerable appre hension is manifested of a negro insurrection. It is said that there are organizations for that purpose, but General Sewell has discovered no evidences of each. lie thinks that during the winter there will be consid erable destitution along the river counties, and gov ernment aid may be required to prevent suffering. POBTXAbTER-GIZER.AL. The Postmaster-General has addressed a letter to the Director-General of the Posts of France, in which he says that recent approved arrangements for the exchange of correspondence between the United States end Great Britain, and. between the United States and several countries on the continent of Ba rope, have now gone into effect, and the changes which have been made by the recent conventions ren (ler it desirable, and, in fact necessary, to revise and modify any provisions of the existing poetal conven tion between the United States and France. The Po:Am:v.ler- General informs the Director-General of his desire to avail. himself of the power reserved by article seventeen of the postal convention between the United States and France, signed at Washington In March, Ibti7, to abrogate the same by a previous no tice of one year, and he accordingly conveys to him the wish and Intention of the Department that the articles of the said convention shall cease to hive effect on the Ist of February, OUR FIUtOLLN 1.014:8VSIONS.

WASHINGTON', Jan. 8, 1868. The Fifty-third Anniversary of the Battle of New Orleans was celebrated by a banquet thiS evening, at the Metropolitan Betel, in this city, at which the Pres ident, some of the heads of departments, most of the Democratic members of Congress, and many dirt' in guihhed guelita were present. A eoinpany of about 300 sat down to dinner. The dining hall was appropriately decorated. Tho columns were covered with the na tional bunting, and two largolaintinge of Jackson and Clay hung at either side of the table of honor. The Bon. Judge Dunlop presided. In assuming that position, he said that the occasion recalled to memory the immortal Jackson, who, with • a Southern army, won the great battle which closed the second War of Independence, and whom a grate •hd people had twice elevated to the Chief Magistracy. Jackson know how to maintain the lawf al authority 'of the Federal Union, and the just rights of the States, because ha always maintained the Constitu tion of the United States. -He was a disciple of Jet ferson--a true Democrat. Ile abhorred a consolida tion and the centralization of unlimited power. What contrast had since been seen. A great civil war had raged and bad been put down by the power of the Federal arms. The South now lay prostrate, disarmed, impoverished, and desolate, seeking admission again into the Union, and ready to submit and obey ti4e laws. It was apparent that she had no further power to resist. The Executive was ready to receive her. Should •bo be trampled on; now that she was down. The instinct of manhood revolted at such an idea. [Applause.] Should the people degrade themselvr s by subjecting the South to the rule of her former slaves, and making hose slaves the associates companions and political equals of the men of the Nortlit Never; no, never.' [Applause . ] ,Thstirpation of Congress in the passage of the reconstruction acts was a crime against the Constitution. and against the civilization of the age. [Applause.] He appealed to the people to battle and defeat by the balot that usurpation. In thia they would have the powerful aid .of their noble President, Andrew Johnsen, (Cheers,) whom the. Almighty , had endowed with courage and ability to stand in the breach, and to up hold the Union and Constitution. Might they not hope and true, that the Almighty. Ruler of the 'Universe would crown his efforts "'with Flumes, and thronuk the ballot at the yells make the American - people live once free, united and happy.

P Ilcover, Egri , V Dean , •IR 1 regret that 1 cannot participate in your ceieoratlon of the Sth iniltant. • • , ' IC will be a. , ocension of unusual interest. The attempted Afrleanization of the ten Southern States tinder the lake pretense of reconstruction of the Ilnit.n; the utter subversion or the Constitute in to accomplish this end; the profligacy rind corruption per vading many branches of the public service, have brilight out their proper 'results. The reaction against the im'olutionmy violence' and license . the past few years, has at last commenced. Its progress will be aided by a worthy cuntemplation of the Me cud character of Jackson—of his fervent patriotism, his persistent edergy his unyielding courage; of the fidelity with which he maintained the rights and dignity and egnality of States, stifle same time that he enforced obedience to the Constitution. . . . _ It will be well to remember by whom and where and for what purpose the last b.ttle of the War or 1812 was fought, and side by side with that, recollection to place the tact that the State then saved from a for .ign roe is now governed by military power, in order to control its people to adopt a Constitution welch they do not approve, and to establish Institutions which they abhor. The retrospect will evoke sympathies and awaken sensibilities, in the midst of which we may hope that hatred and bitterness and vengeance will 'melt away, and that kindness and good . will and charity will cement the Union by the ties, interest. and affection bad contentment which alone can effectually consti tute us one people. Very respectfully, Geo. 11. PaNDL2TON. PROM GOVERNOR :JOEL 'PARKER FREEHOLD, N . .fanuary 4, 1868. 431NTLE7sEN : I regret that I cannot attend the bans onet to be given on the Bth instant, in the City of Washington, under the auspices of the " National Democratic Resident Committee," in commemoration of the battle of New Orleans. The celebration of the anniversary of that victory, achieved over a foreign foe. on Southern soli, by Souti ern soldiery, tinder the immortal Jackson, can not fail to revive and strengthen sentiments of nation ality throughout the country. The descendants of the men who won that great battle are now living under a tyranny more oppressive than England ever exercised over any of her colonies. There is not a people on the earth upon whose necks the yoke of despotism beam so heavily ae does the ar bitrary rule of Congress upon the Southern people. The spirit of hatred which directs the reconstruction policy (so called) of the Radical Congress, le at war with every principle of liberty, every dictate of ha inanity, and all toe principles of the Christian re ligion. The result of the Congressional policy may 'already he seen in the general stagnation of business, the thoneands of mechanics and I.borers unemployed, the want and suffering which pervade the country, and the onerous taxes which oppress the people. Opposed to the action of Congress is the wise, patri. otic. and magnanimous; policy of President Johnson. Under this the country was fast recovering from the ravages of war; and, had his counsels prevailed, the Union would long since have been restored all the States represented, business revived, the industrial pursuits re-established, commerce resuscitated, and prosperity and happiness would exist where now all is gloom and despondency. The conservative men of this country and the friends of liberty throughout the world owe a debt of gratitude to An drew Johnson, because, in the face of the most violent opposition a public man ever encoun tered, he has held fast to the putheiples on which our political system was founded, and maintained, against tearful odds, the right of self-government for his race. VI hen the authors of the tirannical reconstruc lion acts than be forgotten, a id thoseinefarious meas ures obliterated and consigned to oblivion, the name Of Amboy Johnson will be remembered with gratitude by all who cherish the principles of constitutional The day of trial has commenced. The people or the North have spoken in thunder tones their condemna tion of the Radical Congress. The impeachers have ,been impeached, and at the next election the work so unepiciously begun will. I trust be finished. God grant that at the next anniversary of the vic tory at New Orleans we may congratulate each other upon a political victory as signal and decisive. I am, gentlemen, very respectfully, your obedient servant, JOEL PARKEE. lion. J. D. Hoover, Charles Mason, and others, Committee. FROM SECRETARY secum.oen. TREASURY DEYARTMENT, Jan. 6., 181;8.—Dear Sir: Your note of tilOtlst nit. is received, in closing an invitation to .me to be present at the meeting to be held at the Metropolitan Hotel, in this city, on the evening of the Bth inst., for the Opurpose of commemorating the battle of New rleans, and the gallantry of the distinguished general and the citizen soldiery by whom It was won. Other engagements prevent me from accepting your complimentary invitation, but I take plea sure in saying in this manner that I heartily sympathize with the hope expressed in the ac companying printed letter, - That in celebrating the occasion of such imperishable renown for the American name, happier memories will be awakened, and that the magnanimity of the na tion may be roaroused to a noble sympathy - for the descendants of those who—`as beine of our bone and flesh of our flesh'—so nobly illustrated the patriotism and prowess of the American citizen." There never has been a period in the history of the United States when a broad and comprehen sive nationality of sentiment was so greatly needed as at the present time. It is deeply to be deplored that the passions which were excited between the sections during the recent war have not been succeeded by kindness and magna nimity on the part of the victors and acquiescence in the result on the part of the vanquished; that the avowed purposes for which the war was prosecuted on the part of the Government seem to have been forgotten by so many of our fellow citizens, and that the condition of the Southern States has in nowise been improved since hostili ties were ended. It may not be proper for me in this communi cation to discuss what is called the question of "reconstruction s " or to condemn or criticise the opinions or action of my old political friends in regard to it. This much, however, I deem it my duty to say. that I cousider the restoration to the Southern States of equal rights with the other States under the Constitution as essential to the existence of our republican institutions. and to the improvement, if not the maintenance of the national credit. and that in my judgment this is unlikely to be effected by any policy differing materially from that which was substantially in augurated by Mr. Lincoln, and attempted to be consummated by the present Executive. As civil liberty is not the offspring of military power. but Is in danger of being destroyed in stead of being fostered by it, I have not favored the establishment of military governments in the Southern States, as a true Union sentiment is not to be renewed in these States by a general ostracism of their prominent and trnstworthy. m 11; 1 have regarded with great apprehension the enactment and continuance of laws which exclude from federal offices and from the ballot citizens of ability. integrity and influence, with out whose co-operation a reliable reunion of the States is not to be expected. And believing, as I do, that the question of suffrage should be controlled by the States, and not by the Federal Government, and that the elective franchise cannot be safely bestovVed upon a race recently in bondage, and with few excep lions, utterly unprepared to use it intelligently, I have deeply regretted the legislation which de prives a part of the States of rights heretofore en joyed by them, and still exercised by others, and which, by Ignoring all distinction between races so dissimilar, and by its sweeping disfranchise ment of certain classes,virtually subordinates the superior to the interior race. . I gave to the executive policy of "reconstruc tion" my hearty approval before it became a party question, and I have never doubted its wis dom or its practicability. A different policy has been adopted, and is now being tried. Should It be successful in restoring a true Udion sentiment in the Southern States,in stimulating industry, in increasing production, and in establishing har mony between the races, the wisdom of. Congress will be fully vindicated. and its action will be ap proved by the people, and by none more heartily than by those who now disapprove it. Should it fail in accomplishing these most desi rable results the embarrassment and suffering which now exist must be endured for a season, and they will doubtless bo aggravated by their continuance, but they will not be lasting. The difPrent sections of the United States are not to be permanently antagonized, nor is the essondal character of our institutions to be changed by the war, nor' by the troubles which have fol lowed it, nor by those which are still to be en- countered. Where is power enough in the Government to stand any teits to which it may be subjected, and intelligence enough in the people to correct any errors that may have been committed by their agents. Hoping that the celebration of the Bth of Jaw.- ary in Washington and elsewhere, by awakening agreeable and patriotic memories of the past, may tend to excite throughout the country a true Union sentiment, I am, very truly, your obedient solvent, 1111611 sacutimocti. J. D. Hoover, Esq., Chairman, &c., National Ho tel, Room 20, Washington, D. C. , FROM EX-FRY...4IORn RFOIMNAN. Ex-President Buchanan, in reply to the invi tation extended to him, sendstis regrets that it to impossible for him to attend in person for the rettf.oll B given in a letter dated Wheatland, March 23d last, and addressed to a committee inviting EVENING 13ULLETIN.-PHIL THE PAIL him to a dinner *then in the city of Plilladtd , 'phis, in which he states: "1 deny myself this gratilleatiomonly in reference to.what r consider the wise example of my Democratic predecessors In the Office of Pre;,ident.

T. L. Cling- Man. Governor Swann, Rear-Admiral ThuHord. Hon. August Belmont, General Oden Bowie, and others. First. The Eighth of January, 1815: An era In our national Hie worthy of perpetualcommemoratton. Second. The;Mettler . ) . of Andrew Jackson: A great general: a greater statesman and magistrate. Third. The Federal Union: An exclusively, civil es tabllnliment, founded on freedom and law • Fourth. The President of the United States: Con demned by the envenomed partisan and fanatic, but sustained by every generous and just mind. and by the sober second thought of a great people. Fifth. The Supreme Court of the United States: Established to preserve the Constitution from viola tic : usurpers would exclude it from its functions. Sixth. The Conservative Members of Congress: The faithful And vigilant guardians of the Constitu tion. Seventh. The Army and Navy: Whilst subordinate to the Constitution they will he cherished and relied upon by their countrymen; should they ever become the instruments of usurpation, their countrymen must rely upon themselves. Eighth. The Thirty-seven Coequal States of the Union : No power can rightfully displace one of them - from its orbit; "the Union must ho preserved." Ninth. The Constitution: A compact of perpetual Union; when disturbed it needs no reconstruction, but only the removal of an obstruction. Tenth. Representation in Congress : Not only a Right. but a duty--each as sacred and imperishable as is the obligation of allegiance. Eleventh. Our Foreign Policy : Equal and exact jus tice to all—servile submission to none. Twelfth. American Citizerfship, whether by birth or adoption : The proud title to personal protection from oppression, both at home and abroad, under the right ful guaranty of the entire power of the nation. Thirteenth. State Secession and State Expulsion: Twin rights or twin wrongs: we abjure them both. Fourteenth. The Veto Power: A Constitutional trust confided in the President to protect the people against the unwise or inconsiderate acts of their ser vants. Fifteenth. The Government of the United States: The exclusive creation and property of the white man; he is a traitor to his race who seeks to transfer it to an inferior order of beings; and a traitor to the Constitution who attempts to do this by the usurpa tion of a power by Congress which that instrument has left exclusively with the several States. Sixteenth. A Free Press: An institution indispen. sable to the preservation of public liberty. Seventeenth. The Women of our Race: The best of the race. While true to themselves they will never join in the conspiracy for debasing the blood of that race. • t After the reading of the letters, the toast to the memory of Andrew Jackson, a great general, a greater statesman and magistrate, was announced by Colonel Thomas B. Florence, and duly honored. The next toast. the Eighth of January, 1815, an era in our national life, worthy of perpetual commemoration, was responded to by the Hon. Jeremiah S. Black, of Pennsylvania, ex-Attorney- GeneraL He said there was no day in the year ex cept the fourth of July that ought to be kept so sacred as the Bth of January, and that except the Father Of his Country, there was no name known among men which was entitled to higher reverence than that of Andrew Jackson. [Applause.] The life of Andrew Jackson was one long battle with the enemies of con stitutional freedom. [Applause.] He had been as sailed with every species of slander, and even' to this day the foal birds who bad screamed •around him in his life time, and others hatched from the same stock, liked to degrade and defile him. One of the most injurious aspersions heaped on him was that by which the Radical party had attempted to make him authority for their own attempts to trample on liberty and law. If there was any truth in that asper sion, then was General Jackson utterly unworthy of the honor which the American people, all over the country were at this moment bestowing upon him. Referring to the proclamation by General Jackson of martial law in New Orleans, he said that that was •no fiction, as war actually existed then, and he de- dared that Jackson's acts in . New Orleans bore no sort of resemblance to the wanton outrage of declaring martial law for the mere purpose of trampling down the law of the land at places where there were no military operations going on. [Applause.] President Johnson made the following arfreCeil in response to a toast:"' Gentlemen: If I appear before you in responses to.the sentiment just expressed, it is not for the purpose of addressing yon, and I shall do nothing more on the present occasion than to repeat what I gave utterance to just twelve months ago on an occasion like this. I have spoken in various' ways which I think are intelligible and under stood by the whole country. [Cheers.] NIA& CONGIIESS.-SECOND, SESSION Mr. SHERMAN suggested, at the conclusion of Mr. Trumbull's remarks, that the bill be referred to the Committee on Retrenchment. Mr. FESSENDEN asked that it be laid over, as he de sired to speak upon it. After further debate by Messrs. Edmunds and Con nets, Mr. 81.121131/621 moved to postpone until to-mor row, for the purpose of taking up the bill in regard to the contraction of the currency. but. withdrew the motion subsequently, a disposition being manifested to continue the debate. After a few remarks by Mr. Edmunds and others Mr. RAZEIST moved to go Into Executive session, but withdrew the motion at the instance of Mr. Ed mut ds. Mr. Enatuaros offered a resolution of inquiry, which was adopted, calling upon the President tor informa tion whether the bill for the further security of equal righta in the District of. Columbia, passed by both houses, has been delivered to the Secretary of State ::nd become a law; more 077 te tidays having elapsed since its passaze. - - Mr. MORTON offered a resolution instructing the Jae:duty Committee to report a bill superseding and pro. iiing provisional governments for the lately re bell,ous States until,, reconstructed under the several existinfr acts of Congress. Mr. had no objection to the resolution except that the committee should not be instructed before hand as to their action. Mr. MORTON said he had considered that matter, and had concluded to take the sense of the Senate upon it. Mr. WILLIAMS hoped the Senate would not be com mitted in advance, until they knew what the commit tee would report. MT—MORTON said the Senate was not bound to sup port any bill the committee might report. Mr. CONKLIN° thought the proposition rather cir cumlocutory. Why not, he asked, save time Dy pre senting the bill at once Mr. TRUMBULL objecting, the resolution went over: Mr. Stcenstax moved to take up the bill to prevent further contraction in the currency, in order to make it the special order for to-morrow. After opposition by Messrs. Fessenden and Trum bull, the motion to go into Executive session being renew by the latter, and lost, Mr. Sherman's motion moved • • and the Senate then went into Executive session, .d soon after adjourned. use of Representatives. In re.. • to a Senate resolution calling for in formation i ward to the taxation of national banks, the Secretary of the Treasury transmitted a statement of the Treasurer of the United Suites, showing the amount of the semi-annual duty collected from the national banks to bo up to June 80, 1867, $13,038,330. The amount of bonds on December 28 1867, held as ' security for the bank circulation is bearing interest at six per cent. in coin, $89,656, 055; bearing interest at six per cent. lawful money, 4.577,000; total, $510,997,- 750. The aggregate amount of interest paid on bonds held as security to same date was, in o in, 051,883,861; in lawful money 0811 000; or total interest, reduce:btu lawful money, $7,658,224. An accompanying com munication from the Commissioner of Internal It• ve nue states that the manner in which collections are re ported does not enable him to discriminate the taxes paid by national banks from those paid by State banks and private bankers. but he gives toe total amount of lie: nee tax collected from all banks during the years 1815, 1868 and 1667, as $3,545,051, and the total tax on dividends and, profits for same time $12,032,361. Mr. SCRUM, of Ohio, offered a resolution calling the attentb.n of the Committee on Military Allah° and of the Board of Managers of the National &Ey )um for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers to the idea of making provision at the Central Asylum and its branches for furnishing and repairing hereafter artill einl limbs, free of cost, to diaabled soldiers, the work to be done by mechames who are inmates of the asy lum.
