EUROPEAN` AFFAIRS. THE EASI EMT QAUESTION. • IsSia , Once More Menacing Varkey and Avstria.. [From the London Revleul, Saturday, December :18.] It is the general opinion on the Continent that the real.danger of war does not lie in the hostile attitude of Prance or Prussia or Italy, but in the measures which Russia has taken with such great activity, to hurry on a new attempt to break up European Turkey. At home she has this year pursued a system of merciless repression. She has determined that Poland shall be altogether blotted oat. The.history, the religion, even the language of the Poles is proscribed; and, in order to make the' policy 'consistent throughout, she has even made her few and faithful German subjects in Livonia , and Courland bow to the yoke of Russian Uniformity. \On the other hand, she has been equally eager in stirring up the spirit of nationality where it seemed likely to, be of use to her. She had her Exhibition at Moscow as the French haff.theirs at Paris; but her exhibition was merely an excusit" for the general gathering of ' the representatives of the Sclatsanip -nations, including even Bohemia, which she is willing to take underher, wing. She holds Servia and the Danubian Principalities in the hollow of her hand. She has sent a Itus4ian princess to the Court of 'Greece, and it is entirely through Russia that the struggle in ' Crete ha's been prelonged. The. Sultan has declined'`to admit the interference of the Euro pean Powers in his government of Crete, and at one time the successes of the Turkish troops and the destruction of the chief Greek blockade-runner seemed to promise an end to the Cretan question for the present. But Greece, backed by Russia, manages to keep the flame of insurrection alive, and no coun try can stand beyond a certain length of time the process of slow disintegration which Russia is continually applying to Turkey, and, in a minor degree, to Austria • also. Unless the" policy of Russia is changed in deference to such pressure as remote Powers can bring to bear, Austria and Turkey must before long go to war in order to exist. The Cloud in the East—The Nov Phase of the Oriental Question. [Berlin (Dec. 24) Correspondence of the London Herald.] The danger with which Europe was but a short time ago menaced by the league be tween France and Austria has bean.- obviated by the appearance of another danger, which had hitherto' only been lurking in the back ground. This second danger consists in the Oriental question, which in the East is rising as a gloomy thunder-cloud on the horizon,and now and then sends a flash of lightning forth from its black centre. These lightning flasheli in the East have reminded Austria of the peril to which she is exposed in the northeast, threatening her from Rus sia. In consequence of this she now wants to hear no more of a war by Which she would be compelled to- turn her attention away from the East, and to fix it on the Occident. The occurrences in Constanti nople, in Crete, in ' Athens, in Belgrade, in Bulgaria, and in Montenegro, distinctly show that Russia deems the time to . have arrived when she may throw off the mystery in which her policy was hitherto shrouded.. The article which was recently pubdShed in the Rubsian Avaliele was evidently a revelation of the policy which Russia until now thought advisable to mask with veils of one kind or another, for that article has evidently ema nated from an official source. It stigmatizes the policy of France as an ambiguous and dis loyal policy ; it blames France for having shown disregard of the Christian, that is, the Russian interests in the East; it animadverts on tne indirect support she has lent to the Poles against Russia, and on her inconsider ate league with Austria, affirming that a con tinuance of this policy would lead to an open rupture and to an armed intervention. This semi-official manifestation has been accom panied by a diplomatic notification in a simi lar sense. Baron Budberg, has delivered to the Paris Cabinet a note designating the French policy in the East as something inadmissible. Will the French Government quietly submit to such an official criticism of its policy ? This is by no means likely. Thus a diplomatic rupture may be expected. The simultaneous leave of absence granted to the Russian_ envoys at Vienna and Paris appears as .a prologue to such an event, for it- evidently . means: "We will pay no more attention to your objec tions; we - shall - henceforth - constilt-our-own interests." We may, therefore, expect that from the conference of the - above-mentioued Russian envoys with Prince Gortachakoff there will result immediate diplomatic measures which Austria and France will hardly approve of. Russia appears to con sider the present moment to be well suited for a step of her own in her Eastern policy. It cannot be denied that, it she means to take such a step, the _circumstances are extremely' favorable. All the attention of France is directed towards Italy and Germany. Aus tria's activity is at present absorbed by her internal affairs and by the bad condition of her finances. England is fully occupied with) the Fenians, -the Abyssinian war, and,..the Alabama affair. It would be surprisik in deed if Russia should refrain from prdilting by these favorable circumstances.

Ohr last bateh of home lellers, for instance, left England - .11 mail pOoner, titan oar last newspapers, ' yet Only THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, JANUARY 10, ISCS. arrived here at the same time; and the other day part of a Bombay mail was delivered laerei., while another part, which left. Bombay by the sante steamer, was,apparently without :rhyme or reason, detained at Aden., To say nothing of the tact that official lettersrof irn 'portance run almost as great risk as' private .letters of being detained by accidents of this kind, it is hard that . we ,should be , , cut off • from regular communication, with home just when home news begin to be most prized.' Senate cuts so respectable' a figure on the map of Abyssinia, and has, been so much written about and talked about as one of our principal posts, that I expected to find it a .town, or at least a large village. I.was con siderably astonished, therefore, at being told, as we entered an open and. rather barren looking valley, seemingly uninhabited, about two miles from the , top of the Kooinaylee Pass, that this was Senafe, and I was just •cbming to the conclusion that the Senaflans burrowed in warrens . like rabbits, • when I caught sight of two or three small clusters of wretched hovels stowed away under the shelter of the mountain side. They are built of clay, stuck with rough stones, are, only,ahout seven feet in height, with flat roofs, which must lead a hard life in the rainy season, but are of considerable length 'and breadth, having to hold all the proprie tor's cattle and sheep, as well as the more immediate members of his family. No in vidious distinction, however, is made bettveen his quadrupeds and his blood relations. The former, in consideration of their numbers and size, have 'by ' far the largest share of the apartment assigned to them, while — a small space; marked air with stakes and twisted grass., ; is reserved as the parlor, bed-room, dining-room and kitchen of the latter. The house has naturally but one story, and all the inmates seem to live amicably together, on a perfect footing of equality. and. dirt. These half-human habitations belong to a tribe of our trusty allies, the ShottoeS, though conclude the tribe has a mixture of A.bys sinitui,blood in it, as many of its members are Chi ns—their Christianity consisting chiefly in a bit of blue riband round the neck, worn to shoal that they are not Mussaltnaus. ;The genuine,. out-and.out Abyssinians live a few miles Maher' from this, but I am told that many of their villages are very much in the Shoho style. I have not yet had timb• to .explore any of them, nor have I yet seen any of the people in our camp, though I hear they are slowly begin ning to make their way into it. Two or three Tigre chiefs from a neighbor ing district came yesterday to pay their respects to Colonel Merewether, and present him with a jar of hy dromel and a cow, which last, ht»veVer, took the first opportunity of running away, giving rise to an uncharitable 'suspicion on the part of the British that tho iudinal was kept for purposes. of preseuta lion, and ttaMed into a patriotic preference et the interests of her fellow-couutry men. The chiefs were full of polite and friendly ttleis of assistance, and a fair supply of forage for the baggage animals—a most wel come offering—has been sent into camp. As the word "drier has an imposing sound, which may mislead people at home into the notion that all Tigre is mustering its spears and bucklers in our aid, I ought perhaps to explain that chiefs here seem as common as colonels in America, and that these polite and friendly warriors were perhaps only the heal men of some such small group of mud cabins 'as those of Senafe, and had no profirander political motive than the national instinct to get something out of a stranger. However, the little men serve to show which way the big men arc inclined, and some of the chiefs—such as Hassid, and those I named in yesterday's letter—are.really powers in the land: Senafe, though rather disappointing to those who came expecting to see an Abys sinian town, is satisfactory enough from a strategic point of view. ' There is enoug'u good camping ground fur a large army and plenty of water. Our camp is pitched in an open, irregular valley, crowned at intervals with niasses of mountain and rock, which would look lofty anywhere, else, but are mere eicr e beenees on the table-land of Abyssinia. At either end the valley winds round and swells into a plain, equally convenient for a camp and well adapted fa. the manouvres of cavalry. More table-land, spacious,' but frequently interrupted by low ranges of stretches away to the east, but on the soulhwest the plateau abruptly breaks, and looking down from it one sees as far as the eye can reach nothing but one wild series of mountain chains, rising and falling in every variety of angles and elevation, until at last the horizon is bounded by a giant range, which towers high above all the rest. Arnong them arc several of those extraordinary fast nesses Said to lie a peculiar feature 'of this country—a square mass of rock, flat at the top, but with bides hare and steep as thd walls of a liatress, and having seemingly a 0 little natural relation as a fortress to the greed mountain top on which they stand. 11.4031 E.

'Ronian 'Catholic parents, animated by the . spirit of religion, send over their only-born sons for the defence of the Holy See, and, imitating, the illustriouS example of the . mother of the Maccabees, they feel glorious and happy at seeing them shed their blood in such a cause. Moreover, the people subject to our civil authority, although exposed to the attacks of the., most perverse minded men, to cambial snaes, to menaces, and to evils of every derciiption, remain, nevertheless, firm and unshaken in their 'faith towards us and the Holy See. Among them the Roman people assuredly stand prominently forward, most dear to us, and -who deserve all-Mir praise; for nearly all citizens, of every degree, of every rank and position in society in our good city, vie with each other giving us proofs of their .affee don and submission to us, their obedience to the civil authority of ourselves and of our Holy See,.and burn with the desire to support us. 'You are also aware, venerable brethren, how our soldiers, who are deserving of all praise, distinguished themselves 'by their fidelity; with what admirable courage they fought against the bands of those criminal men, and how gloriously they fell on the field of battle for the sake of the church..: Nor are you ignorant that the most august and most powerful Emperor of the noble and generous French nation, considering the serious dan gers that surrounded us, sent his valiant sol diers; who, •as well as their distinguished commanders, with extreme zeal and ardor— esoecially in the combats at Montana and Monte Rotondo—rejoiced to come to the aid of our men; to light courageously in their ranks, and brave death for this Holy See; thus covering their name with glory. You know how, especially in the countries of holy missions, with the aid of God, the Divine light of the Gospel shines more brightly every day; how our most holy reli gion acquires increased development; how those who arc sitting in darkness'and beneath the shadow of death, driving away the clouds which darkened their minds, seek 's refuge in the bosOni of the church,' our holy mother; and how on all sides the many pious iustitu-. eons, so beneficial to all classes and to all the wants of Christians and civil society, are daily increasing. All these facts, which we barely allude to —those multifold' snares of the impious, which are discovered and destroyed in the most astonishing manner—clearly indicate to us how the Almighty and merciful God, in whose baud are the hearts of men, protects and defends His church in the most wonder ful manner; how he wishes to give us the most convincing proof that never will the gates of hell prevail against it, and that He is always by our side to the end of all genera:. dons. . This is why, venerable Brethren, we daily render our innermost thanks for eternity to the most clement Father of Mercies forgo many blessings; and, placing in Him alone all our hope and all our conlidence, let us not ?Cease to entreat Him, by the most fervent supplications, that by the merits of His only Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, he will continue to ward off all calamities from His church, and deliver us from our enemies and from His. and confound and dissipate their pro ject's and their impious desires. Let us also implore Him to bring back those same enemies to a salutary repentance, and into the right path of justice, as also those who, in fighting against us, have fallen into the hands of our soldiers, and who, treated by us with charity, persist in their obstinate ways. That God may the more readily hearken to our prayers, we implore afresh the interces sion of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, the mother of God, who is for us all a mother full of affection, the most powerful aid of all Chrisfians, who finds what she seeks for, and is never frustrated. We then have recourse to the intercession of the blessed St. Peter, the Prince of Apostles; of Paul, his colleague in the Apostleship, and of all saints who reign with Christ iu Heaven. But before we con clude, we cannot refrain from expressing oar fullest and most deserved congratulations, and at the same time the expression of our senti ments of gratitude to those who contribute with so much glory to themselves to the de fence of our cause and of that of the Holy See and of the. Church, as well by word of mouth as by their writings and gifts, or in any other manner whatsoever, even at the risk of their lives. We shall not neglect in all our prayers, our supplications and our thanksgivings, to pray in an humble and fervent mmuer to God, who is the author of all that is good and per fect, that he may shed the choicest favors of His Divine grace and all celestial blessings upon all those sons of His Church - who are so dear to us and 'who are the intrepid de fenders of that same church. ble for a number of obvious reasons, among which the fact that the method o: treatment is radically different.

Stuff like this has for some time disgraced more than one of our papers; and it is high time it were reformed, put down either by ridicule or something less gentle." , OH 040E111 'L QUORN. *-0).

TILE 'PROTECTION Or NATURALIZED cITIZENS At the meeting recently held in this city ill favor of protecting American naturalized citizens abroad, ttpeeclies were made by about twenty members of Con gress of all parties. The letter which Speaker Colfax. addressed to it is as follows: A country like ours, all of whose peoplo, except In dians, not taxed,, are of foreign birth or descended from foreigners, must either cease to naturalize the millions who come to ns from abroad, or must, protect them fully in the rights of citizenship proffered to them by our laws. As it is the greatest glory of any nation that it protects the poorat and humblest of its enigma as earnestly as the richest and mostpowerful, we should be as quick to throw the shield of our nationality over all who hue Laken our oaths of al legiance in our courts. as if they hod been barn on our soil. To demand that they should tight. bleed and cite for the country of their adoption in war, as Ameri can citizens, and then fail to protect them as Amer a l,- .can citizens in peace, at home or abroad, Would he a national shame. I have no doubt, that Congress will speak on this subject with no uncertain voice. • TILE NECONI) AUDITOIC!I OPPICE. • A striking instance of the growth of government affairs is furnished by the office of the Second Auditor of the Treasury, the principal business of which is the examination of accounts and claims relating either directly or collaterally to the army. :In 1859 • theyriork.of the office required the services of but twenlyeone clerks, and nearly four hundred are now employed, and a bill has lately plumed the House pro viding for a further Increase of fifty, for the purpose. particularly, of expediting the settlement of claims for the bounty given to the soldiers in the late war, a majority of whom, ignorant of the care and labor necessa in the adjudication of each individual case to previ n s, re stilr wondering at the delay in forwarding theirdues. The files of the office are al ready burdened by something over 175,040 claims for bounty and arrears of pay. and each month brings in nearly 10,000 more. The present force engaged npon the cork. 175 clerks, can dispose of about 19,000 claims per Month. and it will, therefore, be some time, yet, even with the additional help, before. the businee can be reduced to a peace footing. It is 'understood that appointees to clerkships, under the act referred to. will be subjected to a strict examination upon matters pertaining to the business upon which they are to be engaged, and only those will be selected who have a competent, practical knowledge upon the special points involved. XLtlt CONGRESS.-SECOND SESSION. ,A 1 I "P.DAY'S PROCKEDLNGS CONCLUSION OF House ofMCpresintatives. Mr. Barna then proceeded to consider the na tional finances. confining himself to three points: fart. the amount of currency require'd : Second. the reduction of national hanks to specie payments e and third, how to Overcome existing .obstacles to that end. .The debt was 81,000,000. Otklntore than it would have been if specie payments had not beedineriended, rind the duly of Congress was to repair the damages already done. New York might be taken as a repre sentative city of the United States. and he would take the avers. 'e business of that city for the past eleven yearn: R i ne beeline-1f of the country last year was, four times In excess of that thine in the :ereit specul'ative year of 1e57; six times in t. 3 (TEA of ltiiNi dye times ereater than in Ifel. It reached the exact point in 1:4.32 which it occupied in 1e increased over In 1863 it over 100 per cent., and in lse,t nearly seventy per cent.: in lber, ten per cent.: in 181elten per cent., and in 1807 there hart been a slight falling off. He :4- : - tilted that an Irredeemable paper currency was a reat evll, bat denied that there was too much circu lation, or that until it was curtailed the specie istandard could not be re.ste rtai. Values and business lied now actommodated themselves to the new state of things; in fact a great and damaging reaction had nirc-ady taken place, fortunes had been sunk, end wide-spread suffering now prevails from the effort to discount the action of the government.. In ]t6o the country had $:300,000, 0 00 Of currency, to perform less than are-fourth of the service which was now due. It bad now $700.f00,000' of currency only to do four times the amount of business. but within the past sixteen months $/00•000•000 had been retired, or one-eighth of the circulating Values had shrunk in proportion. and speculation, as well as a large per centagc of legitimate business, was dead. They had $21.000.000,000 property represented by s7oo.ottn,fiee of circulating medium, or three per cent. of money to ninety-seven per cent. of confidence and credit. The general government owed $2,6:19.- .tindia,O, the States owed $37::,C00,0u0, citiees towns and mupalities he estimated at $203.000.00 , 0, the debt of railroade, canals, and corporations at el, - 000,000, and of merchants. manufacturers. and indi elduale to each other at 611, it° Ili 64(00. This made a total of 50,211.000.000 To contract the currency another hundred millions would lessen the value of property e:1600,000. 0 00, with the debts unaffected. To contract $3,0111000.000 would extinguish the 'value of the property of the conntry ono-half, and yet the debts remain as before. That ens the reason why when they had committed the error of undue expansion they could not retreat as they had expanded. eurther concraction, he repeated, was unnecessary, was Inexpedient , was ruinous. and the country should wait for natural causes, and for legis lation to develop and quicken the industries -of the people. and thus bring about re storati on to the specie standard. Another reason why contraction should cease teas the large amount of the debt which had been ' :suddenly created, and the bonds of which host the holders but a small price, and which could at any day be turned back on the conntry at a profit to the n nb ere. Every one per cent decline in gold here was one per cent. profit added to several hundred millions of 'these bonds held abroad. The I Ountry desired no More expansion, hi' followed by a cry of contraction. it had already sustaieed the lessee on shrinkage; let them not repeat pm unnecessary torture. Let the currency rest in amount where it was at present. If it were $5(1.000,010 more or $50,009,000 less, he should say the same thing. Stability more than amount was the requirement of commerce. LetCongrecegive the country a fixed policy—some certain basis upon which our merchants; manufactnr . ere, planters and business men could rely for future operations. Low prices did not benefit the buyers. Manufacturere were running on half time, or prices a all. They refused to take the farmer's wool at p lower than had been known-for fifty years. Merchants bought from hand to mouth only. The money ordi narily engaged in legitimate business was at present based on call at low rates, and again reioaned to those who bulled gold and speculated in stocks. By fixing the standard this money would again return to Its proper channels. Anotherineurmountable obstacle to a return to spe •cle payment was the position of the so-called na 'Lionel banks. The interest of these banks was ads • verse to a resumption of specie payments. lie cared not what presidents and cashiers should say they wore individually waiting to do; their dividends and profits would be reduced when they were compelled to deal in coin, and, like other men, they would de fend their intcreete on $lOO,OOO of bonde - they drew at present. and the people paid $6,000 gold interest. 'They Bold this gold for say forty per cent. premium, 'which was $2 .401 added to every $O,OOO received from that source. From October, 18(14, to October, 1807, these Institutions had made annually from 10 020 Per cent. dividends,built marble pahicesin every city, oak] for the most valuable lots, and yet had accumu lated a einkieg fund of $6,468,580—nn extra dividend of 19 percent. on their whole capital. The political power of the country was graduating into the hands of the banks. They could to day spend 450,0(0,0130 in ierinting papers, he suborning public sentiment, and in corrupting legislatures to carry through and perpetuate their schemes. They held' as in a vice the political support of their customers. • It was within their power to ruin and turn upon the • empty eurbstonos those who would, not defend their measures. Thatwas not all they were doing or could • d 0.., Titeyjay diefretly across the door to specie pay ment, which mild' never be reached until their fran chhies weriYcluinged. Ile would ask what measures • were reenisite to remedy the existing financial thin- The first was the restoration of the Union. ]n the course now-being pursued to the Southern States bondholders sun the seeds of chronic decay. ''The political reconstruction of these States would have !supplied them net only with the products of ,superior • • crops, kut also with immigration, capital and credit. This alone would have reduced the premium on gold for the past two years fully ono-half, which would - have been fifteen per cent. on the revenues of the c ov ,ernment, for two years, say $1,000,000,000 ; there then was a direct loss of $150,000,000 to the govern meat; besides, a legato the people In their mutual exohangeS. •• „ For the purpose of ggl sing sis • y.eNvs practical %ffect, and also that the House should show the country what it could rely upon, he gave notice that on the tint opOortunity lie should present, in due form the „following reaolutiOn ' - - Whereas, The interests of this• nation demand as . early a return to the specie staiidiu‘d of the world as • ,can be consistently done; And whereas, Among the principal obstacles now re tarding that desirable end are the following: First, in enability *the amount of enrrency ; _ferniebed the pw pie. Second; the low price of: United States bends' !Wetting a certain portion' of the currency. And third, the inadequate security furnished by the na , ,tional banks. Therefore be it Resolved, That, the (lowtittee on Banking and Car- tette be and is hereby directed to inquire into the ex - pi dience t ne CUtrOlicfiit its present nominal amount far a period of scars, and n`.-o how the frau chase of the nntioaet banks can be so changed as to furnielt thenl holders ample security wlien reetene.'

Mr. Wane addressed the committee. arguing against the legal position rimmed by the minority of the Judiciary Committee in reference to the law of impeachment. Referring to the general subject,' he declared that the President was obstractitig the exe cution of the law. Under the fear of lumeimixtiort. the President had appointed true men ne commanders in the South; hut when that fens vanished he snubbed General Grant, dismissed Stanton, sought to disgrace Sheridan, struckitlie epaulettes trom the "hobbling" Sickles. and brought Ord and Pope to the same fate. If the Preeldent wearied the people into the adoption of his policy, and if allithe fruits of the war secrete:A, members oho. voted against inflated:anent would only; have themselves to Maine. Referring to the epeech of Mr. Brooks on the inferiority of the negro rare, he raid that that gentleman had told the House of the kinks in the Deere's hair, the thickness of his lips, the size of his nose. the shape of hie jaw, and even got down into the dust and measured the length of his heel. He had made no objection on the gronad of color as there were t any colors =one men; but the distinction scorned to 'bo one of heels. If that was to be the standard of suffrage, his,,colleagae should be appointed a committee to adjuet a scale of rights on that eubject. But the blacks had the suf frnge now, and would not surrender it. Woe to the man or tarty that sought to wrest it front them. He appealed to the opposition to rise above the mere party level,. and and the Republicans .in restoring peace to the country. The South was starving; hun dreds of thousands of northern laborers were out of work; business was dull; capital, times and finances disordered. Sound reconstruction, was needed at once. On it all other questions hinged. With that accomplished. the work of lessening the public har dens and bringing back a speedy return to specie pay ments would be easy. AMEBIC:AN CrITIZENSIIIT'. Mr. Emit next addressed the Committee, and pro ceeded to discuss the principles involved lie the ques tion of American citizenship . which waf,tow lastly agitating the public mind. It might become tile' itty of Congress to make sonic authoritative and explicit declaration on the subject. Every nation being the equal of every other nation; and having the absolute and unquestionable control of its own domestic pollcy,had neceeearily the right to regulate the princi ples on which its citizenship might be acquired or lost. The right of expatriation was an origami, God given right, and was that in which the American na tion had its birth: When American citizenship was once conferred no other nation had a right to question its completenees: If aliens did not when naturalized become divested of all other allegiance, then the ab surdity would follow that such persons owed a two fold allegiance. He was, however,unfortunately coal pelled to confess that the practice of the government . and the writings of American publicists had not been in harmony with his opinion, for Chancellor Kent had laid down the doctrine that an American citizen had no right to expatriate himself, and become theambject or citizen of another country. This, however. he at tributed to the too great respect evinced in the United Statee for English jurisprudence. Still be did not mean to assert tbet if certain duties and obligations became by the laws of a country attached to an indi vidual, that individual did not 'by expatriation die charge himself of them, tint when persons innocent of crime and obligations came to the United States, and were admitted to citizenship. it was cowardly in the nation. when they returned to the country' of their nativity, to suffer them to be denied . those rights which were accorded to the citi zens or subjects of other natione. It became the country, not by the vain ceremony of a law of Con gress, to make good to naturalized citizens the rights guaranteed to them, but it was the duty of Congress to mid into the hands of the Executive the power nec essary to aindleate those rights. Let this be done, end England and every other nation, evert if not con ceding the principle, would' at leak concede the power of the United States, and would cease to at-. tempt those outrages on American citizens which had lately arcateed not only the American people, but the friends of the country all over the earth. Tide should be done not as a threat lent with dignity, with fterreness, with vehemence, and await. the result in the subee quent practice of nations. The Committee then rose. Mr. Pus, referring to remarks of his on Thursday affecting the reputation of Dr. Fowler, in connection with government contracts in St. Louis, said he had since been assured by Dr. Fowler that be had with drawn from the firm before the majority of the frauds • had been peryet rated, and that he was not responsible for bent. He deemed it jest to that gentleman to make this statement in tile Donee. The House, at half-past four o'clock, adjourned. From our latest Edition of Saturday. By the Atlantic Cable. I'Ants, Jan. 11.—The bill for the re-crganiza lion of the army is still under consideration in the Corps Legielatif. The article obliging every Frenchman to serve in the National Guard vas adopted last evening. An amendment for the exemption of the in firm from the operation of the article was intro duced. but was opposed by M. Ronher. Daring the debate 'which preceded the final action of the corps, M. BouLer said : "This article will startle attentive ears abroad, and will inspire the army which precedes the National Guard to the battle field. Loaoos, Jan. 11.—The directors of the Atlan tic Telegraph Company have issued 'a prospec tus to raise $1,:;00,000 to purchase all the rights and interests of the Anglo-American Telegraph Company in the cable, and to pay off the in debtedness. Reconstruction in the Supreme Court. (Stead ',match to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.] WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—A very important pro ceeding transpired in the Supreme Court of the United States yesterday, which will soon bring ' the question of the constitutionality of the Re- . construction laws before that Court for decision. Jerry Blpok entered a motion to advance the case upon tft"e docket. It comes up from the State of Mississippi. •under a writ of error granted by , Judge 11111, of that State. The case is where a party was arrested by the military authorities, under the laws of Congress. but a writ of hulew corpux was refused. Attorney-General Stan berry was present. and stated that as he had advised the President that these acts )vcre unconstitutional, he could not conduct the case for the Government. This fact he had com municated to Gen. Grant, as acting Secretary of War, and the latter had telegraphed this fact to the authorities in Mississippi. Gen. Ord replied by stating that the authorities, of Mississippi would send counsel to Washington immediately to conduct the case. As soon as these arrive, the ease will be biought up for argument. NOW Reconstruction Measure. [Special Deepatch to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.] WAsniNGToN, Jan. 11.—f be Reconstruction Committee held a long meeting this morning, and after some discussion it was agreed to report the following bill, which will be laid before the ils Hoe Ma - Monday : "Be it - enacted, 4t:, That In Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, I,llBslBBlpp', Louisiana Texas, Florida and, Arkansas. there are no civil State governments in said States respectively that shall be recognized as valid or legal State governments either by the Executive or Judicial power or authority of the, United Status.

We have seen the same process applied to England • by Americans, and can appreciate the misrepre- • sentation. A man takes a bad work-house as an example of the brutality with which the English treat the poor. or he singles out a ruffian who beats his wife and displays him as a speci men of the British character. There is no people who will not suffer from treatment such as this. The Americans might have looked upon Mr. Dickens as an offender against them, and made ' him a sort of scapegoat for all subsequent offend ers. That, indeed, was the line which a few—a; very few—of the American newspapers recom mended; but it was never for an instant probable that the people would take it. They have, in stead, given their visitor a welcome which must have far surpassed in warmth and friendship his own expectations. A people who can act thus cannot be so bitterly prejudiced against everything English as some would have us believe. They prove 'themselvm to be a liberal-minded and fair-dealing people, instead of a race filled with petty hatreds and malignities, such as certain persons belonging to both countries sometimes depict them. Every one who has seen much of the Americans has been impressed by the warmth and kindliness of their character and by the avowed affec tion which a large proportion of them entertain for the country trom which they take their ori gin. There is something in the disposition of both the English and the Apaericams which mattes them half reluctant to acknowledge the good points they recognize in each other. The sense of kinship sometimes impels men to reprove more vigorously than they praise. But, after all the animosities or Prejudices of a former genera- tion,are dying out under the influence of free and well-informed , discussion. The criticisms' which once vexed the Americans are no longer possible, partly,perhaps,because more just obser vation is applied to them, but partly also, as they would be the first to acknowledge, because they are no longer in that stage of immaturity through which all great nations pass. The American peo ple have grown, and in accordance with all hu man experience, have grown all the more quickly under the pressure of anxiety and trouble. The boric of the national character, so to speak, has become bard and firm. They read criticisms of America written five-and-twenty years ago as we read Macaulay's account of the state of the English people in IGSS. It is a former generation, almost another race,whose portraits they look upon. The rough pioneer or adventurer has gone away two thousand miles to the westward, and the cities are full of traveled men and women of culture and refinement. Mr. Dickens has been to Boston and New York, but they are ndt the Boston and New York he saw before. Old and disreputable scenes, the curse of large towns, have been swept away, a lid noble streets have been builtwhere.a few years since, the (Attie grazed in the fields. This change is only a sign of the general progress of the people. The ill-natured satirist might fill his' portfolio with sketches in any society, but if he wanted to find the most objectionable of the I characters once put into literary museums and labelled "American," he would have to search long and far. The "natu ralized citizen" may rage, and fame against the country from which he sprang; or its rulers, but the true American is ever ready to do justice when he is called upon for action. The visit of Mr. Dickens supplies another illus tration of this, and will go further than a score of books to prove that the sentiment of kindness and honest feeling—in a word, of good fellow ship—is as active among the Americans, and may be as safely depended on. as it can possibly be among the English or any other people. 1868. sE AS AoNEm CLEAR PIN SE s ED ON CLEAR PINE.
