Prof. Atssiz summer home is a quaint
little brownhouse on the wild northern shore
of Nahant, standin g in the middle of an en
tirely uncultivated acre, without even the
il , ,semblance of a path to the door. A rough
L.
)fence or stone wall incloses the lot on three
T . sides, with a tangle of wild roses, brambles,
and :Ilden rod, growing ota the lee of it. On
e fourth side the uneven grass ends abruptly
t, the edgo ,of 'a sudden declivity, at whose
• tqe the great rocks against which the sea
hes. *, ~
The house faces the water, and is two
Iftories high just in the middle of the front,
Wbence the roof slopes off to cover the dings,
.lina'the low piazza at the back. There is a
e gallery also on the side next the ocean;
here the • good professor sits sometimes iii
e cool' of the day, to enjoy book, news
paper or cigar, and on this same northern
flout stand two low, square buildings, only a
few yards from the wings of the house, but
entirely separated from and in front of them,
' and one of these'is the laboratory in which
phe studies into those secrets of nature which
'he afterwards tells to us all.
• .One arty last summer, I met Charley, the
fisher-boy, who was brought up on 'Egg
Rock, said knows much of sea-fowl and
fishes, and how to take them, but little else.
He was going down the lane towards the
' professors, with a hideous fish called a Skate
upon his wheelbarrow. It lay upon its back,
'exposing the ugliness of its white under
surface and its wide mouth. Its flat sides
1
hung down almost to the ground, and its
ugly tail dragged in the dust. Charley set
down the wheelbarrow that we might see
Mad admire. "I am taking it down to Mr.
r Aassiz," he said. "I take him one every
day, He cuts them up to see what's inside
• of them."
My seaside rambles often lead me through
the Professor's grounds, for the public are not
shut out trom that wild, beautiful shore; and
when I thought of him,studying with a child's
delight and a sage's wisdom into the wonders
of nature, or caught a glimpse of his pleasant
face bent over his books, or considered how
,many.unanswered questions of my own he
could save with a word, I was seized with a
-desire to penetrate into that square, low sanc
tum (even disguised as aoSkate, if necessary).
I w lit take with me,l thought,one of my natu
',
_tal history puzzles,as an excuse for going,and
-,, i i:' he accompanied by the loveliest maiden
I i nuwi ii i e s ,ght of whose fair face and beau
tiful sm il e will be enough to compensate for
the interruption.
~. So, one summer evening, at sunset, we
sauntered along the north, shor,e, on the edge
of the cliff, and BO cane into Prot'. A.gassiz's
grounds. There below, among the rocks,
high and dry, lay the dory, in which the Pro
fessor's wife and son have taken those de
lightful rows by day and night, by moon
light, or when the sea was lit only by its own
phosphorescence' described in their "Seaside
Studies." With what pailfuls of marine
treasures have they climbed this bank !
, What delight to study as they studied, if one
only knew enough to begin t
Looking wistfully up at the laboratory, we
were delighted to see that the Profeesor was
there, and made bold to go and knock at the
, door. "Come in," said a pleasant voice, and
.:we entered a small ante-room, encumbered
with boxes and casks, and smelling of alcohol.
4 , The door stood open into the laboratory, and
,we went in..On each side of the entrance was
~
'` a little wooden stand, on which lay the white
lcorpse of. a Skate, with' its interior arrange
ments dissected, and piled upon its clammy
1 pody,, Gathering up our . garments from the
ialiiny drops which trickled down, we passed
'between the grewsome anatomist, among the
accummulated scientific appliances of that
'much encumbered room, to the table where
the kindly-faced savant had been sitting,
smoking over his broad folios. i t
I introduced myself and the beautiful
maidejejond then produced my puzzle and
likedNy question. It was one of those
"sand-saters," so conimon'on our beaches;
a curious thing ) , found of different sizes, but
always the;, same shape, its texture as firm
as damp pasteboard, apparently made
wholly of sand, much such a form as would
be given 4 by moulding it upon one of those
Vat,,round inkstands,, which spread out into
11,.t , tvide circumference to prevent upsetting,
Alt Aand then opening it down one side in order to
F ' remove it:
"What is this?" -- I asked. "I sometimes
find Lynn beach covered with them, and I
, have seen them also on the New Jersey
o r coast." , t ,
i , "Yes, doubtless," he said, "and you might
~• have , found them beyond the Gulf of St.
Lawrence, or on the coast of Florida, or in

knew them well.
"Those large snails," said he, lay their eggs
in a gelatinous ribbon, which would be

[From the Newark Advert tar r of Jan. AU.]
• A. t,TEAIt. MAN—A' WONDERFUL PIECE Or
3fEtIIANIBM.
The old adage which proclaims that
"there's nothing new under the sun," has
been daringly and yet successfully rfuted.
Mr. Zadock Dedrick, a Newark macninist;
has invented a man; ono that, moved by
steam, will perform some of the most impor
tant functions of humanity; that will, stand
ing upright, walk or run, as he is bid, in any
direction-and at almost any rate of speed,
drawing after him a load whose weight would
tax the strength of three stout draught horses.
The history of this curious invention is as fol
lows:
Six years ago, Mr. Deddrick, the inventor,
who is, at present but twenty-two years of
age, conceived the novel idea of construct
ing a man that should receive its vitality from
a perpetual motion machine. The idea was
based.on the well-known mechanical prin
cipletthat if a heavy weight be placed at the
top• of an upright slightly' inclined from. a
vertical, gravitation will tend to produce a ;
horizontal•as well as aTertical motion.
The project was not successful. However,
by observing carefully the cause of the fail
ure, preserving and perfecting the man-form,
and by substituting steam in place of the per
petual-motion machine, the present success
was attained.
-- The man stands seven feet and nine inches
high, the other dimensions of the body being
correctly proportioned, making him a second
Daniel Lambert, by which name he is face-
tiously spoken of among the workmen. He
weighs five htindred pounds. Steam is gene
rated in the body or trunk, which is nothing
but a three-horse power engine, like those
used in our steam fire engines. The legs
which support it are complicated and
wonderful. The steps are taken very
naturally , and quite easily. As the body is
thrown forward upon the advanced foot the
other is lifted from the 'ground by a
spring and thrown forward by the steam.
Each step or pace advances the body two feet
and every revolution of the. engine produces
four paces. As the engine is, capable of
making more than a thousand revolutions a
minute it would get over the ground, on this
calculation, at the rate of a little more than a
mile a minute. As this would be working
the legs faster than would be safe on uneven
ground or on Broad street cobble stones it is
proposed to run the engine at the rate of 500
revolutions per minute, which would walk
the rant tit Ole modest speed of half a mile a
minute.
The fellow is attached to a common Rocka
way carriage, the shafts of which serve to
support him in a, vertical position. These
shafts are two bars of iron' which are made
fast in the usual manner to the front axle of
the carriage,and are curved so as to be joined
to a circular sustaining bar, which
passes around the waist, like a girth,
and in which the man moves so as
to face in any direction. Besides these
motions, machinery has been arranged by
which the figure can be thrown back
ward or forward from a vertical, nearly
forty-five degrees. This is done in order to
enable it to ascend or descend all grades. To
the soles of the feet sakes or corks are fixed
which effectually , prevent slipping. The
whole affair is so firmly sustained by the
shafts and has so excellent a foot-hold that
two men are unable to push it over, or in any
way throw it down. In order to enable it to
stop quickly, it is provided with two • appli
ances, one of which will, as before stated,
throw it backward. from the vertical, while
the other bends the knees in a direction op
posite to the natural position.
An upright post, which is arranged in
front of the dash-board, and within easy
reach of the front seats, sustains two minia
ture pilot wheels, by the turning of which
these various motions and evolutions are r , di
rected. It is expected that a sufficiently faro
amount of coal can be stowed away under
the back seat of the carriage to work the
engine for a day, and enough water in a tank
under the front seat to last half a day.
In order to . prevent "the g!ant" from fright
ening horses Icy its wonderful appearanceNr.
Deddrick intends to clothe it and give it as
nearly as possible a likeness to the rest of
humanity. The boiler and such parts as are
necessarily heated will be encased in felt or
woolen under garments. Pants,coat and vest,
of the latest styles are provided. Whenever
the fires need coaling, which is every two or
three hours, the driver stops the machine,
descends from his seat, unbuttons "Dan
iel's" vest, opens a door, shovels in the fuel,
buttons up the vest and drives on. On the
back, between the shoulders, the steam cocks
and gauges are placed. As these would cause
the coat to set awkwardly, a knapsack has
been provided that completely covers them.
A blanket, neatly rolled up and placed on top
of the knapsack, perfects the delusion. The
face is moulded into a cheerful 7:counte
nance of white enamel, which contrasts well
with the dark hair and moustache. A sheet
iron hat, with a gauge top, acts as a smoke
stack.
The cost of this "first man" is $2,000,
though the Outliers, Messrs. Deddrlck & Grass,
expect to manufature succeeding Ones, war
ranted to run a year without repairs, for $3OO.
The same parties expect to construct, on the
same principles horses which will do the duty
of ten or twelve ordinary animals of the same
species. These it is confidently believed,
can be used alike before carriages, street cars
and ploughs. The man now constructed can
make his way without difficulty over any ir
regular surface whose ruts and stones are not
more than nine:,inches below or above the
leverof the road.
Circus PcrformcrA.
Of the performances in the arena, the eques
trian scenes are more popular than the acro7
batic feats, which seem to be full of pain to
the performer, and often frighten the specta
tors. A. good many, if not most, of the
clown jokes are extemporised on the spot,
the "cue" being given to the "ring-master" as
he walks with him after the horse. In every
equestrian act there are at least two pauses,
each scene being divided into three parts, and
it is during these intervals that the clown
has an opportunity to exercise his wit, or,
in professional language, to "crack his
wheeze.
Circus people, as alule, have been familiar
with the sawdust almost from their birth.
Their fathers and mothers have been in the
business before thorn, and their experiences
often date back to when they were only about
two years old. They must be regularly bred
to the work, and have to serve a term of
gratuitous labor varying in length from four
teen years to twenty-Pao. All who enter a
circus are engaged for the "general utility,"
and, besides performing, have to hold gar
ters, poles, etc., at the entrances. Now-a
days circuses are conducted on what Is called
the "sensation" plan—introduced by Van
Arnburgh—and there is scarcely one that
cannot boast of its "lion tamer, or "queen
of the lions."
The agility of acrobats in turning summer
saults is astonishing. A man in Sanger's
troupe could throw seventy without once
stopping to look over his shoulder. Another
could turn upwards of twenty, one after an
other, on a flying horse. ' The art is only to
be learned by long practice, and it has led to
many deaths. A. year or two ago a poor fel
low in Dublin was killed on his beuent night
in attempting a "quadruple turn.".—Onec A

Mr. Armstrong, of Lancaster, one of , the eight
written ssenters,
when his name was called n , offered' the
reasons of himselfnd seve colleagues
for the course they had pursued. The following
is a copy of the reasons:
HousE RE,PREHENTATIVF.B, January 10, 1669.
—We, the undersigned Republican members of
the House, of Representatives of the Common
wealth•of Pennsylvania, having declined to at
tend the caucus of our party friends, held for the
purpose of making nominations of persons to
All the oflices of this House, and having up t
this time withheld our support from the nominee o
of said caucus for the position of Speaker, desire
to lay before this body, our immediate constitu
ents, and the people of the State, the reasons
which have influenced our action.
We have been opposed to the election of the
candidate for Speaker presented by the caucus
above referred to, because we believed and still
believe that the will of the people and the in
terests of the Republican.party at this time, in
this State, demand the election of a Speaker with,
among others, the following qualifications:
First—One who is in all respects free from re
sponsible connection with the past legislation of
this body, considered offensive by the people.
Second—One whose record and life show him
to be in layer of reforming the abuses that have
crept into the manageent of public affairs
in this State, and of retrenching in all prac
ticable ways the expenditures of the Common-
V
1.•-
wealth. -
Third—One Who has not been identified in a
way that would be likely to affect his official
action with any „_corporation in the State that
has he shown a disposition to monopo
lize privileges, to exercise powSra not granted
by charter, and to control legislation by impro
per influences.
Fourth—One who would so constitute the Com
mittees of this House and so direct its action as
to carry into effect in good faith the will of the
party to which we belong, as expressed at its late
Convention, held at Williamsport, in favor of the
passage of a free railroad law.
And judging the candidate for the Speakerehip
favored by the majority of our party friends by
his votes in this body, by his published remarks
and speeches, and by his surroundings, we have
not deemed him the person best qualified to meet
the just expectations of the Republican voters of
the State, or to give strength to that party organ
ization which saved the country from disruption
by war, and to which a patriotic people look for
wise government in peace.
Our temporary separation from those with
whom we have heretofore acted has been painful
to us. The step was taken, in the first place,
from no feeling of disappointment or revenge,
from no disposition to be factious, with no inten
tion of becoming disorganizers; but we claim to
have been actuated wholly by a high sense of
duty to ourselves, to our constituents and to the
party whose best interests we have always tried
to serve.
At no time has the thought been entertained
by any one of the undersigned of casting a single
vote, under any possible circumstances. for the
candidate supported by the party called Demo
whole purpose, from the beginning, has
been to secure time for reflection on the part of
the majority of our own party, hoping that on
second sober thought they would see the mistake
they had made, and hasten to correct it; and
time fertile people to so express themselves as
that those who are but their servants could not
help beitg made acquainted with their voice,
and through it might be willing to yield to the
popular demand. Minorities have responsibili
ties as well as majorities, and as such we feel
that we have but discharged our duty.
In the hope that a change would be effected
by a little delay. we have not been disappointed.
The candidate for the Speakemhip presented
by the majority has not been withdrawn, as we
bad hoped tie would be, but he has given ns
such pledges and assurances that we feel we have
gained substantially the object we aimed at, and
that our course will be fully justified by the
truthful and indeptindent character of the legis
lation that the party in power in this house will
enact during the present session.
Not having, therefore, any further end to gain
that will
besotjust a longer delay, and desiring that
the House ganized as speedily as possible,
that the public business may be transacted, we
will bow respectfully to the will of the majority.

Speaker Davis was then conducted to the chair
by Messrs. Jones and McCamant, araidelivered
the following address
Representatives of Pennsylvania: If I consulted
, my own feelings on the present occasion, I would
merely thank you. But after the ordeal through
which we have passed, a just consideration for
those friends and for myself demands at my hand
that I should at least say something in vindica
tion of myself and of those who have so mag:
nanimously supported me in this canvass,
and I shall not refer. to anything that
would mar the harmony of the great party of
which lam an humble member, or its members
upon this floor. I will simply say that I stand
to-day before the representatives of the people
of Pennsylvania, and before this vast assembly,
and I know that I must some day stand before
a higher tribunal—Heaven's great court of last
resort—and should those attacks that have been
made upon my public acts, and upon my private
character, be arrayed against me at the throne of
Almighty justice, in the presence of the God that
made me,l will pronounce them false. That is
all I have to say.
I will now proceed, gentlemen, to say to the
members of this house what I intended to say
upon the day that they assembled to elect their
Speaker. I have not changed one word; I have
left those remarks as they were prieted on last
Monday evening. Every pledge that I have made
eliallhe, as far as I am concerned, carried out.
I havnnot had time to commit what - I taye to
say to memory. 'lt is very brief, and I ask your
patience during its reading.
IFor this very high compliment bestowed upon
you
and the confidence reposed in me, I tender
my hearty thanks. I will endeavor to de
serve both, by an earnest effort, and to the extent
of my ability to discharge my duty with equal
justice to all. Every energy of my nature shall
be taxed to this end. I expect, and I have no
doubt,- will receive, your hearty cooperation and
support in this effort.
Our duties will be important and arduous. The
eyes of four millions of people are upon us. Our
actions will be closely watched and severely scru
tinized. The people have intrusted ne withAai i r
interests. Let us be sure to ' guard them
fully.
The groat political party which I have the
honor to represent here is firmly and un
questionably pledged to certain measures of
State policy, all of which I cordially approve.
I hold' now, as ever, that legislation should be
general instead of local or special. We have
general mining, banking, manufacturing and
corporation laws. We should also have a
general railroad law--a liberal, practical and
comprehensive one, under whose operations
capital would be invested to develop the im
mense resources of this great State. Let the
Legislature be true to what seems to be the
almost universal demand of the people of
. every section of the State, by taking away all
restrictions to a . liberal system of internal
coinmerce, yet always guarding the rights
of individual citizens. Invite capital to come
freely and develop our inexhaustible fields o
iron, coal, and other minerals. as well as our im
mense lumbering regions, and other sources of
wealth and greatness. This can only be accom
plished thoroughly by giving the right to open
every locality of the State containing such
sources of wealth to free and wholesome compe
tition. But that I may he properly understood,
I am in favor, and hope this House will speedily
pats, the much agitated and greatly needed free
railroad law. Any efforta to that end shall re
. ceive my entire approbation and earnest co-ope
ration.
Seven years ago I was selected by the House of
Representatives to preside over its deliberations.
We then stood on the threshold of the most gi
gantic conflict of modern tunes. The' House of
Reresentatives then pledged all the resources of
the p State to maintain the Constitution sustain
the government, and enforce the laws of' the na
tion. How well those pledges were, carried out
and redeemed is now a part of our country's his
. tory. Pennsylvania soldiers were first to respond
to the call of the President to defend the capital;
and it was on Pennsylvania soil where the rebel
lion received its most eileetiVe and stunning blow,
and sent it staggering back fi out the glorious
field of Gettysburg to its dishonored grave at Ap
pomattox., , •
's power was re-established and

armed treason crushed, and tf traitors were not
punished, or if •treason ,Was not "made odious,"
it was not for want of power, but a palpable and
wanton disaffection in high pieces. Bat, thank
God, the poOple's representatives hi Congress are
still musters of the situation. Let them continue
to protect the loyal men everywhere in theirjusV,
rights, and hold traitors to a strict accountability.
This, in my judgment, is the only safe way to
reconstruct the union of these States. If men
whose hands 'are red with the blood of our
brothers are again permitted to take part in the
udm Wien:Won of our laws, we will only have
ourselves to.blatne if similar scenes of blood
through which we have passed, should, be re
enacted.
In conclusion, gentlemen, let it be our earnest
effort so to discharge our duties as to deserve and
receive the entire approbation of our constitu
ents, Whatever may tend to promote the inter
ests of the people of thi a State, let that be done,
and their response will be "well done." I again
affirm that I. will employ all honorable means ut
any command to carry out what I firmly believe
to be the wishes of the people of this Common
wealth, and endeavor to so conduct the delib
erations of the House as to make this session har
monious and pleasant, us-well as advantageous
to the public.
Again gentlemen, for this very distinguished'
mark of your esteem, and endorsement of my
tumble pretensions as a representative, from my
soul, I thank you.
The Speaker was then sworn by Mr. Jones, of
Berke, and the members elect were all then either
sworn or affirmed.

very much stronger than we do in this coun
try. They are, in fact, small bars of iron

amount of rigidity is thus obtained which is
necessary to meet the requirements of the
country. The bars of iron are placed on the
tops of bamboos at a sufficient height to allow
the country carts to pass underneath them,
and even to give passage to loaded elephants.
The size of these conducting bars is necessi
tated by . the heavy rains which tall in the wet

dripping in a stream from the telegraphic
wire to the post is sufficient to stop the work

dependency will obtain in all other tropical
countries, and deviations: from the European

will be necessitated.
In all countries where thunder storms are
frequent, and where dense fogs prevail, it is
often necessary to increase the battery power
in order to drive the electric current through
the storm. When • a thunder-storm occurs,
even in this country, the electric spark some-.
times runs along the wire from station to
station, and does great damage to the finer
parts of the working apparatus. If such mis
haps occasionally occur in these temperate
regions, what must be the casualties that
have to be provided against in the Indian
monsoon ? Lightning conductors in such
countries are necessary at various parts of the
line, to conduct to the earth this unwelcome
visitor, which, in the most temperate climates,
is sufficient to reverse the polarity of the
needles.
In England there is a system of switches
employed resembling those on railways, by
the use of which one wire can be put in corn
munication with any other, instead of the
direct one it is usually placed in co nunica
tion with. In this manner a thund-r storm,

the same ingenious manner, a divergence in
the route of a hundred miles or so causing no
loss of time, inasmuch as the speed of tele
graphic communication is equal, at least, to
the speed with which light travels.
Inhuman Punishment at the House
of Refuge In Itochester, N.Y.
RecutKnife, N. Y., January 7th, 1868.
Another case of cruel punishment has occurred
at the Western Homo of Refuge in this city.
IL C. Wood, principal of the Refuge School,
after whipping Nicholas Christ in a barbarous
Winner on the bare back, kicked him with the
toe of his boot behind the ear and in the side,
causing a painful and dangerous wound. Mr.
Wood alleges that the boy had stamped on the
floor of the school room in the usual way of
cheering. The affair has been investigated by a
committee of the Board of Managers. The

IMPORTANT OASES lIETORE TIES BIIPREMX 00tIRT.
There ere afpresent thiee cases pendingin 'the Ea
preme Court of thernited States which involve, di
rectly or indirectly, be constitutionality of certain
acts of Congress concerning the Southern States.
The ono which has too most direct hearing upon these
laws was brought up by an application filed by Judge
Bleelc a short time since, praying for the release of a
man upon habeas corpus, who was arrested by the
military under the, authority of the so•called recon
struction acts.
At decision %looked for at an early day, and tial
impression is very general that the writ will be granted,
which of course would virtually Bet aside the law.
The sceond case involves the constitutionality' of
the law by which Congress authorized the sale of cap
tured property, and directed the proceeds to be paid
into the Treasury, at the same time providing that
the claimants might, at the end of two years, bring
snit for recovery through the Court of Claims. The
case comes up through the • action of the owner of a
lot of cotton, who brougnt snit directly • against
the oflicer making the seizure. Tide latter person.
pleads the law as his defense.
What is known as the Virginia case affects the mode
in which Congress can proceed in ratifying contracts
between States. It comes into the court •on motion
of parties representing Virginia, and claiming that the
cession of the counties of Berkley and Jefferson to
West Virginia is not valid, although ratified by Con
gress. The State of West Virginia provided for re
ceiving these counties upon the consent of Virginia
being given. This consent was obtained, and Con
gress was asked to ratify the contract. Before the
action of this body was consummated Virginia with
drew her consent, but Congress paid no attention to
this action, and proceeded to ratify the agreement.
Virginia claims that such action was unconstitutional
and comes into the Supreme Court to test it.
It is reported that Moore. Randall, Boyer, Gloss
hrenner, Getz, Van Aitken, and Woodward, of the
Pennsylvania delegation, waited on the President and

THE BUREAU' OF STATISTICS.
The Director of the Bureau of Statistics has com
pleted an elaborate report for one of the committees
in Congress, which shows the tonnage and value of
the freight transported during the year ending March
31, 1807, across the State of Illinois, westward of the
meridian of Chicago, from which it appears that there
was transported over eight railroads running eastward
3,358,000 tons of freight, valued at $235,000,000, and
westward, 1,345,000 tons, valued at $411,000,000, the
combined movement amounting to the enormous ag
gregate of 4,703,000 tons of ffeight,valued at $646000,
000,fan amount equalto nearly two-thirds of the entire
foreign commerce of the country.
BONDS ISSUED TO THE PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY.
An official document gives the following statement

/ELUL CONGRESS.-SECOND SESSION
CONCLUSION OF YESTERDAY'S PROCEEDINGS
Senate.
The morning honr having expired, the aspechl
order being the bill to prevent farther contraction g
thaturrency came up. .
Mr. Bredunps, of 'New York, moved to amend
adding at the end of the , bill the following :
Provided, That nothing contained in this act, 3r
any'otber act of Congress, shall authorize an increse
or United States notes or other lawful money beyod
the amount thereof now outstanding.
Mr. Burn:gen said the amendment was unnecessaY,
as the volume Of currency, could not be increased lilt
for a particular purpose, for the reserve authorizede 3
meet temporary liabilities.
Mr. EDNUNDB, of 'Vermont, said the amendin nt
VAS offered for the purpose of ascertaining whetter
the Finance Committee contemplated a further 1 1-
crease of the dishonored paper of the goverterant.
The inference apparently intended le, be left in Au
mind of the Senate was that the policy'of the bill vas
only to suspend the reduction of the volume or-
Mr. prarratai argued that there was no law autor
.
_ . dolle of
Congress committed Itself to a fixed policy on -anew.%
when so much difference of opinion exiated.
Mr. EDMUNDS further ddvoested his 'amendment 'es
timely blldpertlnest. To satisfy the donator he would
modify his amendment by inserting the word "exist
ing" lbef ore the word "ay.,' . • -
After further debate,. Mr. Wit.,m4 , l again modified
his amendment by adding at the end "excepting the
amount of 8150,1 OU,OfKI reserve of United dtates notes
already authorized by law.
' The an endnieut as modified was lost—yeas 17,
nays 18.
Mr. BUCK - AM:W. of Pennsylvsnla. Moved to amend
by striking out the words "until Congress shall other
wise provide," and inserting "until the first of July
hext." so that the law allowing contraction of cur
rency stall' be suspeeded until the close of the fis
cal year, 'and mar the time of the probable ad
journment of Coeeresc.. It would then be a simple
suspension, and Congress could have time for de
,
liberation.
• Mr. Mongol; condemned the amendment as a vir
tual defeat of the bin, The country and business in
terests wanted a fixed policy.
Mr. CONKLING SSketi. how tinder a bill on Its face

WASHINGTON, Jan: 10.—Thu President sent a,
message to the House to-day, relative to the
Spanish vessel captured by the United States
forces during the war, and cont3.-cated for being
engaged in the service of the rebels. It seems
that the owners of the vessel brought suit for her
recovery, which was decided in their favor by a
United Stales Judge In South Carolina. She was
sold and the money paid into the Treasury. The
President says the money now cannot be taken
from the Treasury without disarranging the ac
counts, and asks forau appropriation of e 28,000

A Project to Restore the Bourbons in
Naples.
A circular which has lately been addressed from
Naples to all the embassies in Paris, Is now the
subject of much talk among diplomatists. This
document announces the establishment of a
"central insurrectionary rmittee" in, Na-
VVikolesale Thofi,bt nugoost Politakasw
) , term.
Public attention in Russia'has been much oc-'
,cupico by the trial of upwards of fifty post-office
officials for stealing money trots letters. It ap
pears that a complete organization existed for
the purpose in the department, and that it has
been carrying on its operations since 18G2.
An elaborate code of reulations, by which this
society has been bound, has been discovered, in
which the capital of the Society, the Mode of
diVision of the profits, and the sums to be given,
as rewards to those of the members who were
most skilful in their thefts are minutely de
scribed.
'that Anniversary Dinner.
The New York Evening Post says: The battle
of New Orleans was fought on the Bth of Jan
nary, 1815. It was a great event at the time, and
for some years later. There have been greater
battles since,• however, and even mote important
ones. 'there arc, however, a few politicians who
apparently remember nothing since the Bth of
January, 1815, to celebrate which anniversary
some of these fossils dined together; yesterday
in Washington. "Among the distinguished
men present," we read, was Mr. Jeremiah
S. Black, of Pennsylvania, Attorney Gene
ral to James Buchanan: and letters were read
from Franklin Pierce, George H. Pendleton,
Thomas H. Seymour, William Bigler and James
Buchanan. We say these persons apparently
remember nothing since the battle of New Or
leans, because if their memory even extended so
far forward as to the year 1832, they would
perhaps blued- at • some embarrassing de
clarations of the hero of New Or
leans. Jackson was a man of impetuous temper;
if be had been President of the United States from
1861 to 1864, instead of the mild Lincoln we fear
some of the persons who took part in this Bth of
January dinner would have attained, by his com
mand, a very uncomfortable eminence some
years ago. We should not omit to record that Mr.
Thos. B. Florence wrote no le.tter. On the contra
' ry, he came tor his dinner. It seems hard that the
President- of- the United States should have to
dine with such a person; and it is one of the in
conveniences of dying, that it subjects the
deceased to the laudations of persons whom,
were he alive he would not tolerate within the
house with himself. That the person who edited
The Washington Constitutionalist during the late
war should presume to offer a public toast to
Gen. Jackson, is sufficient evidence that the old
General is dead. .
