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.

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.

proud to defend and uphold the venerable
and incontestable principleS of Tistite, of
truth, and of the Holy See., And_ tiliiy, de !

And behold how ninny men of noble birth;
nearly, of every country, full of zeal for the
cause of religion; lealibig their "families, their
wives and their children, have hastened to
the succor of our city, and disdaining all
fatigue and danger have not hesitated to enroll
themselves in the ranks of our militia, and to
risk their lives for the 'Church, for us, and for
thesovereignty of the Holy See.
'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

pork last year) was quite ravishing In purple
velvet and diamonds. Stuff like this has for
some time disgraced more than one of our
papers; and it is high time it were reformed,

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

,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

Resolved, That, the (lowtittee on Banking and Car-
tette be and is hereby directed to inquire into the ex -

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.

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

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.

Charles Dickens' fleeeptlon—.l3rltish
Theory of AkineriCllll Feeling from
Separate FOntliainti•
(From the London Timm Dee. sri'd
* * If there has been a soreness against Mr.
Dickens, it is because it was considered that his
photographs were all taken from one class, and
that an inferior class?, and exhibited as an accur
ate representation of the entire community. 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.
