CIFIARLES DICKENS.
The sensation of the day is undoubtedly
Whales Dickens. The public generally is
excited over his wonderful delineations of the
characters which we have all known inti
mately and loved so long, and the prominent
topic of newspaper criticism is that of last
Eight's first appearance of the famous novel
ist. It is worth while to note the tone •of
Ahem. criticisms. The Ledger gives a brief
acoount of the "reading," as it is called for
convenience, but does not enter upon , any
special criticism of the performance, although
the thorough enjoyment of it is warmly ex
pressed. The North American gives two
well-written articles upon the subject, evinc
ing deliberate judgment and a good discrimi
nation. Its single disappointment is one
which was shared by many hearers, in
Mr. Dickens's "Sam Weller," who it con
fesses "was not exactly the Sam we expected
to see." It pays Mr. Dickens a neat com
pliment for his good taste in the matter of
dress and general personal appearance, and
revels in the Fezziwig ball and over the
Cratchit Christnaas dinner with an unction
which was irresistably inspired by the artistic
handling of their author. The Inquirer has
a long, but terribly undigested disquisition
upon the "reading," with a good deal Of fan
ciful writing about- Demosthenes, Cicero and
Roscius,with whom the critic classifies Mr.
Dickens! A minute description of Mr. Dic
kens's table follows down to the row of gilt
nails and the exact measurements of its several
parts. The writer gives a very inaccurate
account of the Christmas Carol dialogues,
misquoting the very first sentence and losing
the whole, point of other passages, and dis
misses the Pickwick Trial with seven lines.
As a criticism it is too hurried,
labored and over-loaded to read well.
'The Age has a brief, easy, kindly, and fair
criticism. It makes the mistake, however, of
calling his voice "thin and husky," and his
facial expression wanting in "variety and
flexibility." The latter fault, particularly,
cannot certainly be charged upon Mr. Dick
ens. It, moreover, undertakes to try Mr-
Dickens by the standard of- "other authors
reading their own works," but as he is the
only author of any note who ever did read
his own works, it is difficult to establish any
such standard. Nor can he any longer be
ranked as "an amateur and not as a profes
sional speaker," but as an artist not only in
the lick] of romance, but in that of the dra
matic art itself.. The Morning Post has a
sprightly and sensible article, giving a good
humored poke at the Enthusiasts and a cutting
slash at the Sneerers. Its detailed criticism
of the performance last night, is, in the main,
a very just one. Like everybody else, it felt
dissatisfied with "Sam," who has evidently
become idealized by the American public to
an extent which could only be satisfied by Mr.
Dickens giving his "Sam" in costume, when,
we fancy, most people would hail him as their
identical old friend. The Post calls Winkle
"at fair success," when he was really a pro
digious one, if not the most perfect character
of the evening. The disappointment which
the lost expresses at Mr. Dickens's first re
ception shows that the writer is not familiar
with the peculiarities of a quiet, critical, in.
telligent Philadelphia audience. Mr. Dickens
knew it better, and expressed himself after
ward as delighted with the warmth of appre
ciation which was manifested.
The riT.BB gives a thoroughly ill-natured,
dyspeptic sort of criticism. It sneers at hie
whence as composed of people who will not
go to the opera, and of people who have
grown suddenly rich and who wish to appear
intellectual. it calls the Dickens furore
"cheap and meaningless," and talks about the
American people "taking life" for less insults
than Mr. Dickens has heaped upon our flag.
ilia tones are "not natural," his inflections
are "monotonous and frequently irrelevant"
He does not attempt "to arouse emotion"
(although the critic, if present, must have
seen the alternate tears and laughter that
followed each other all through the evening.)
He calla it a "genteel exhibition," and advises
people to charge their two dollars "to
curiosity, and not to literary taste." The
'whole article is dolefully dyspeptic, and per
haps Mr. Dickens himself accounted for it
ilast night, when he said: "A slight disorder
of the stomach makes them cheats. Yon
may be an undigested bit of beef, a blot of
-mustard, .a crumb of cheese, a fragment of
au underdone potato,-"
MORE FUN.
The arrangements that have been made
during the present season for the entertain
ment of the public have never been surpassed.
Moglish, German and Italian opera; concerts ,
and oratorios; Dickens, Mrs. Kemble and
Murdoch; the Hanlon Brothers, Signor Blitz
and the Skatorial Queen; lectures, balls and
•'funeral obsequies;" and all other imaginable
devices for the delectation of the public palate
kr amusement. In pursuance of this com
mon purpose to make the winter of 1567-8 a
gala season, the Nrtional Union Constitutional
Johnson Bread and Butter Club is giving a
aeries of unique entertainments consisting of
solemn reports of meetings at which
*undoing resolutions are passed by
tremendous majorities of six, roaring
speeches delivered to the same num
ber, and nominations for all the offices
In the gift of the people distributed
among the faithful half duzen with a liberal
hand. All the six attendants at the meetings
are prepared to be "standard bearers," and to
aevOte themselves to any office of honor or
emolument which may be "lying round
Occasionally,_an extra entertainment
je given. Thus, a few weeks ago, Vie Presi-
Alle.st of the Club, Dr. Wilson C. Swann, was
lteminated for Mayor ' of Philadqpltial
The idea was good and the President, having
pit kis own nomination to the vote, declued
11 carried,' amid thunders of applause, and
made a speech which, bring -too good to be
ajoyed by the half dozen alone, was-pub
dol. It served, however, but a temporary
'tirjaooe. The people laughed for a dty or
tiro over the grotesqueness of the ide t, and
Oen treat
, novelties,---ibe Hanlon 13x•others,
t) one Or two cilia tbiugs,—put the j
at of the public mind. •
iko'Xi. U. (:). J, B. 8., Club is 41.1 irre-
delVNty
I=l
pressiblo little organization, and is evidently
resolved to spare no expense for the amuse
ment of the community. . Accordingly it
came out last night witli a new cast of cha
racters, new scenery, a now plot and with all
its best artists, and to-day the public is on a
broad grin over the new performance. The
Club has risen to higher levels, and, aban
doning low comedy, aspires to the legitimate
drama. From the municipal, it soars to the
national. From manipulating the' mousing
politicians of city wards, it assumes the
charge of the Custom House. From bearing
the standard of the mayoralty, it grasps the
broad banner of the Presidency. It flings its
folds to the breeze, and, with a cheery "Here
we are again !" it salutes the
,public, while
yet tingling with the pleasant sensations of
Charles Dickens, with the announcement:
I+'or• President,
ANDREW ;TORN HON,
For Vice President,
• WILSON C. SWANN.
"Johnson and Swann" is to be the fierce
battle-cry in the coming conflict. The N.
U. C. &c. Club has declared it by a vermilion
edict. Under this glorious banner march
proudly the six, while all the people greet the
parade with undisguised amusement and
delight.
Seriously—if such things can be criticized
seriously—the assurd proceedings of this little
Club ought not to be published in the news
papers. It only brings private citizens,
who, as private citizens, were quiet,
respectable, inoffensive people, into com
mon ridicule, and does no manner
of good to anybody. With Dr. Wil
son C. Swann, in his individual and pgji
vate capacity, the public would have nothi!g
whatever to do. Like his neighbors he would
sit under his own vine and fig-tree with none
to molest him or make him afraid..'llut,when
he makes himself a public character by such
cheap machinery as the presidency of this
insignificant little body of office-seekers and
holders, he becomes a . proper subject for pub
lic criticism, and betrays a degree of inordi
nate weakness and vanity which makes hirn
a source of unmixed amusement to the whole
community. Such ridiculous nominations as
those made last night ought to be kept out of
the public papers.
SOME Fii MS ABOUT lIIONARIDEIS.
There are thirty-nine persons in the list of
reigning sovereigns contained in the Gotha
Almanac for 1868. In that for 18.19 there
were forty-eight. The wars of 1859 and
1866 have, therefore, destroyed nine sovereign
States, great and small, and they have been
absorbed in Italy and Germany. Priam 1865
to 1867, both inclusive, the list of Monarchs
contained the name of Maximilian, Emperor
of Mexico. That is also dropped now in the
new, volume, and the final record is made of
Mexico as a monarchy, simply to mention the
death of the Austrian prince.
Of the reigning monarchs in this year's list,
the oldest is Pope PiusN Ninth, who Will be
76 on the 18th of next - May. King William
First of Prussia, in whose short reign such
great changes have been wrought in Ger
many, will be 71 on the 22d of March. The
Emperor of France will be 60 on the 20th of
April, and the Emperor of Russia will be 50 •
on the 29th of the same month. Queen Vic
toria will be 49 on the 24th of May, and
Queen Isabella, of Spain, will be 38 oft the
10th of October. The King of Italy will be
48 on the 11th of March; the King of Sweden
42 on the 3d of May; the Emperor of Austria
37 on the 18th of August; the King of Den
mark 50 on the 18th of April; the Sultan 38
on the 9th of February; the King of the ,Bel
glans 33 on the 9th of April, the King of
Portugal 80 on the 31st of October; the King
of Bavaria 23 on the 25th of August, and the
King of the Greeks 23 on the 24th of De
et tuber. The youngest monarch on the list
is Heinrich XXII, Prince of Reusi-Greiz, a
migLty State of about forty-five thousand in
habitants and an army of 334 men
Prince .Heinrich will be 22 on the 28th of
March.
Among the sovereigns below the first rank,
the King of Denmark, who has lost much
territory, and who is, personally, not rich,
may be remarked up on as having made a
good disposition of some of his children. His
oldest daughter is married, to the Prince of
Wales, and if she lives, may be Queen of
Great Britain; his second daughter is married
to the crown prince of Russia ; and may be
Empress one of these days; his second son is
King of Greece, and married to a Russian
princess. The crown prince of Denmark and
a younger brother and sister remain yet to be
disposed of in marriage. If they have as_
good luck as the others, .the, family will be alf
noted as were the Saxe-Coburgs for making
exalted marriages. Queen Victoria, for in
stance, who has some trouble in finding Pro:
testant - matches for her children, migh
marry a daughter to the future King of Den
mark, now twenty-five, or a son to the Prin
cess Thyra, now in her tenth year,
Speaking of Victoria, of her nine children
four are married, and she has eleven living
grand-children. Prince Alfred, now called
the Duke of Edinburgh, is said to be the
best of the sons. lie will be twenty-four
years old next August, and may be con
sidervd a good match for some German or
Danish princess. Rail accounts are correct, .
he is likely to make, a much better hughirid
than the dissolute and shallow-brained Prince
of Wales does to his good, pretty and invalid
Danish wife. There are a good many other
facts in the Gotha Almanac that may be
stated in future articles.
AN ORIENTAL HINT TO NEW YOUR.
The New York newspapers are making
considerable fun out of the fact that within a
few days a party of Japanese went in full
.lap costume to see Mayor Hoffman in his
otlice. After making a fitting Oriental salaam,
they offered him the Compliments of the sea
son in the Western mode. They then pre
sented him with a sword. In return his
Dunes gave them• his photograph. The Jape
now made a fresh offering of some curious
,fans, leaving the Mayor rather puzzled what
to bestow.in return. With great presence of
mind, he took up u pamphlet copy of his late
message and handed it to them; and this bad
trade so disgusted the subjects of the Tycoon
that they immediately resumed their . straw
sandals and shaking the municipal (bit from
their soles,they quitted tlin-0 tyoral presence.
There Is one view of this business wi11.%
seems to have escaped the observation of the
mole-es( d Golhainitp, scribes. The J.t2s are

Japanese remedy for, this official cutaneous
affection of the palms is hari-kari, and
thinking Mayor Hoffman the proper man
to begin with, and being uowilling that he
should suffer for the want of proper tools,
they presented him with a ripping-up in
strument of the most approved 'pattern. It
must, ere this, haVe, greatly disgusted the an
tipodean visitors of the New York Micado
to find that be has not acted upon the hint,
and after ripping himself up, sent the hari
kari tools around to Fernando and Ben
Wood, the Board of Aldermen, the Common
Councilmen and the Court-House Commis
sioners, in order that they all might imitate
his example, and thus enable the people of
New York to make afresh start.
The Jape have yet to learn that. New York
officials are an incorrigible set. They coolly
pocket the tools furnished them for the pur
pose and refuse to get up a grand
. ltari-Icari.
We honestly believe that if the United States
were governed by a Tycoon with more abso
lute powers than our own A. J. enjoys, and
he would sentence the whole batch of Alder
men and Common Councilmen to be hanged,
they would manage to make a "job" of it. In
the first place they would get the contract for
building the gallows and swindle the Tycoon
most atrociously in the way of over charges;
then they would get themselves appointed on
a Commission to inquire into the Gallows
Corruption business, and this Commission
wOUld run up a frightful bill 'for office rent,
clerk hire, witness fees, stationery, &c.. And
finally, when the question of swindling was
settled, it would be' found that the scamps
bad actually stolen the gallows and retailed it
out for kindling wood, and the treasury of the
Tycoon having been depleted through the
various bills for incidentals, there would be
no money left to buy another gallows, and k ,
the rascals would escape hanging after all.
The Democratic party is getting on. At
Selma, Alabama, they had a meeting yester
day, and they actually hoisted the American
flag! And what is more, there was consid
erable cheering about it. This important
fact we learn from special telegraphic des
patches sent to the leading Copperhead news
papers at the North. This promises well;
the southern Democrats have long tabooed
the Stars and Stripes, while the Northern
ditto have shown such a wishy-washy sort of
fidelity to it of late years that it amounted to
but very little. Tne ordinary world of fashion
takes its cue from Paris,and Eugenie dictates
to all creation the law of hoops and chignons,
while her august lord prescribes the cut of
coats, beards and pantaloons. By the same
token, the Northern Democracy copies its
fashions from the South. It followed to the
letter the fashion-plates set by, the opponents
of the admission of California into the Union
because California said she did not want sla
very, within her borders ; it copied the Le
compton cut, which declared that Kansas
should be a slave State whether she would•or
not, and it threw up its cap and hurraed for
the "stern statesman ;" called Lincoln a go
rilla, scoffed at New England, declared that
the Union wasn't much of a Union after all,
and did many other curious things because
Richmond said they were the fashion, and
the fashions must be followed if the Democ
racy would keep itself in favor at Court. We
are glad to note that the Alabama Democracy
have taken to hoisting the American flag,and
we earnestly hope that its Northern brethren
will follow the example to the extent of
holding and acting upon some honest
and truthful patriotic sentiments and prin
ciples.
South Broad street is destined to become
one of the most splendid parts of the great
avenue. The only thing in the way of its
rapid improvement is the freight railway,
and this, it is hoped, will be removed. One
of our citizens is only waiting for an as
surance of this to break the ground for a
splendid residence at the corner of Broad and
South streets, and others are contemplated
in the same neighborhood.

no reason to doubt that the entire grand line to the Pa.
chic will be open for breinese in 1170.
The means provided for the construction of this Groat
National Work are ample. The United States grants its
Six Per Cent.'llonds at the rate of from 0116.000 to 548,000
per mile, for which it takes a second /ten as eecnrity, and
receives-payment to a large if not to the full extent of Its
claim in services. These Bonds are Issued as each
twenty.mile section is finished. and after it has, been ex.
&mined by United States Commissioners and pronounced
to be in all respects a firstclass road, thoroughly supplied
with depots, repairshops, stations, and all the necessary
rolling stock and other equipments.
The United States also makes a donation of 12,800 acres
of land to the mile, which will be a source of large re.
venue to the Company. Much of this land in the Platte
Valley is among the moat fertile in the world, and other
large portions are covered with heavy pine iambi and
abound in coal of the best quality.
The Company in also authorised to issue its own First
Mortgage Bends to an amount equal to the issue of the
Government and no more. Hon. E. D. Morgan and lion.
Oakes Ames are Trustees for the Bondhelders,and deliver
the Honda to the Company only as the work pro
acmes, 00 that they always represent an actual and pro.
ductive value.
The authorized capital of the Company is One Hundred
Million Dollars, of whioti over five millions have beau
paid in nptin the work already done.
At • preeent, the profits of the Company are derived
only from Ito local traffic, but this is already much more
than sufficient to pay the interest on all the Bondi the
Company can Issue, if not another mile were built. It if
not doubted that when the avail is completed the throngt
traffic of the only line connecting the Atlantic and Pad
fie Btstes will be large beyond precedentand as there will
'be no competition, It can always be done at profitable
rates.

and the remainder from citizens of other coup
tries. The receipts for the year were 8646,581,-
and the expenses were $639,262. The Patent
Office fund at the close of the year amounted to
$271,444. The Commissioner says the business
of his office has greatly increased during the
year, and it is expected to be much larger during
the press nt year.

He also, referring to a cominumeation circu

for information as to why a scheme
that was to enrich its originators

the most it proposed to give to the object of the

He had alluded to the letter of the Postmaster-
General. asking his twenty thousand postmasters
to aid the enterprise as a truly benevolent and
patriotic one, and had insisted that tht,...Post
master-General had been deceived, and such.
proved to be the case.
In proof of this ,
. he referred to an article in the
Mail, stating,by the authority of the Postmaster-
General, that be had become convinced that the
scheme bad been perverted to fraudulent pur
poses, and that he had therefore withdrawn hi&
recommendation.

WASIIINcToN, Jan.'l4.—The excitement caused
List night by the announcement that the Senate
bad refused to concur in the President's reasons
for the suspension of Secretary Stanton was re
vived this morning, and mnett curiosity was
manifested to know what action would be taken
by General Grant and Mr. Stanton regarding it.
At the usual office hour this morning, General
Grant appeared at the . War Department,
and arranging his papers, locked the
door of the Secretary's office, and taking
the key with him, proceeded to the building op
posite the War Department, used as the head
quarters of the army. At half-past 10 o'clock,
Secretary Stanton, accompanied by his lon, ap
peared at the War Department and proceeded
immediately to the otric-e of the Secretary, but
finding the door locked, took a seat in the ante
room, where he was the recipient of congratula
tion from many Senators and members of Con
gress, who bad assembled to see what would
Labe place. Mr. Stanton - appeared Lo be in un
usually fine spirits, and converted freely with
those about him. Upon the arrival of Mr. Stan
ton, General Dent proceeded to headqiiarters
of the army, to inform General Grant of the
fact, and to obtain the key of the Secretary's
office.
In a few minutes he returned and placed the
key in . the hands of Adjutant-General Townsend,
who, with military present-arms fashion,
placed it In the hands of Secretary Stanton. As
soon as the latter was safely enseonsed in his
offleP, the Radical members of Congress from
Tennessee waled upon him In a body to present
their congratulations at his restoration, and to
ask him to use his influence to
continue the operations of the Freed
men's Bureau in the States of Tennessee
and Kentucky after the 15th of next February,
at which tinic,by order of the President, it ceases
In these two States. Mr. Stanton replied that so
long as he had any power he should use it to
protect the weak, and would do his best to have
the suggestions made carried out, but ho further
stated that it would probably be a few days be
fore matters would commence to run right in his
oSlce. •
As the Tennessee delegation was withdrawing,
they met Gen. Grant in the ball in eitizeuta.drese.
After exchanging salutations with thein and
c/tt. Howard, who was also present, and ex
,o6 4siag his Ea t 1 fa c ticn at tir. Stanton's•restora-
A L IOn by the Senate, he immediately proceeded
toward Mr. Stanton'ei office, when the latter ap
peared at the door and the two interchanged
hearty congratulations and passed in. The
many members and Senators who witnessed
the affair expressed themselves highly pleased
at the conduct both of Gen. Grant and Secretary
Stanton. As this is Cabinet-day there is con
siderable interest manifested to know whether
Secretary Stanton will attend or not.

Message of Governor Ward, 0
.1 Ne w
Jerbey.
TR] NroN, Jan. 14.—The new Legislature rite
to. day.
The message of Governor Marcus L. Ward is
very long. The receipts of the treasury, under
the head of "State Fund,"during the year ending
November 30th. 1867, were $563,916 96; of which
$268,259 96 were from transit duties from rail
roads and canals. The disbursements were
$509,056 64. The War Fund debt is $3,295,600 ;
a decrease of $99,600. A claim of $777,516 76
against the United States, for advances made in
arming, equipping and transporting soldiers of
the State, has been reduced by $651,617 48, leav
ing a balance to be adjusted in the future. The
Sinking Fund is working well, and it promises
an extinction of the State debt by 1883. The
public schools cost during the year *896,530.
The message gives various particulars concern.
lug the State institutions, the Prison,. Reform
School,Soldiers' Home, Soldiers' Children's Home,
&c. The War History,intrusted to John Y. Foster,
hue bcen completed. In conclusion Governor
Ward remarks as follows on national affairs:
"The condition of our national affairs excites
the deepest interest in the public mind. The re
storation of the whole country to its ,former
peace and prosperity, the reconstruction of the
Southern States upon the basis of national
safety — and - the—due—protection of
the great Interests of labor, and the re
duction of taxation as far as is consistent
with financial prudence, ought to command the
Pall concurrence of all our people. For such re
sults we must rely, in my opinion, on the wise
and considerate action of that loyal Congress
which has unswervingly fulfilled its duty to the
nation. It seems, however, scarcely necessary
for me to impress my political convictions upon
those who have assembled here to transact the
business of the State. In those convictions lam
firmly groundtd in that truly Republican
faith which recognizes the claims of Loyalty,
Liberty and Humanity. The nationality which
is symbolized by one flag, one people, and one
govtrument ; the Liberty which sinks alike all
questions of race or creed—the Humanity which
secures and protects the rights of the humblest in
the land, form the basis of a creed which no tem
r orary change of public opinion can ever shake.
Upon that baste our nation will be truly recon
structed, and its onward and upward career will
be assured alike by the wisdom of man and the
favor of God."

and mainly in favor of a rite . hire was a moderately
activo bon on ivy demand for coin, and loans were made
at rates laming from Oleo to seven per cent. for car. v.
tng end w itbout 'merest. The gross clearings amounted
to if ins,( 40.1C° the gold balances to $2.519,618 and the
cut ran cy balence! to Ci.G8,430. The Reconstruetion
a copy of w filch wee teiegrd , t lied from Waihiugton on
Saturday evening, was the principal Cause of the ad.
Vance early in the day, and afterwards the pro
ceedings in Congress thin afternoon led to the
further rise above 140. Men who received private
telegrams from Washington, reporting what had
transpired In the House of Representatives, immediately
gave orders to buy gold. The vote to salt end the
rules in order to allow or action upon tho Senate bill re.
lating to the Supreme Court, was regarded as a sure sign
that it would pass, as well as the new Reconstruction hilt
suspending civil government in the South, 'and both are
looked Pion an revolutionary in their character, while
the restoration of Stanton by the Senate is regarded as
certain, and the possible er nsequences are difficult to
foresee. Meanwhile the distrust thus occasioned is re
flected in the course of gold, the tendency of which is
affil nova' d.
The stock market has heen irregular, and at intervals
excited, during the day. Ito tendency was slightly
downward early in the forenoon. and the announcement
of a heavy defalcation on the part of James' Loverich,
the second tiller of the .city Bank, somewhat unsettled
it. The amount wan stated as high so $350,000, but the
officers of the bank have not yet ascertained the full
extent of the fraud. „ Money woe in good demand from
the Stock Exchange, owing to the- increased activity of
speculative business, but the supply was superabundant
at scr.f7 per cent, with moat of the trannactions at six.

abled to borrow nearly all they required at five per cent;
but thin rate wan exceptionslamong borrowers in general
First-close commercial paper passed freely at the legal
rate, and the amount offering is Hunted.
'I here wan a strong and excited market for government
securities on the street all day, and the investment de
mand at the counters of the leading dealers wan very
active. Considerable pnrehnses of five.twentles of 18113
and lnes were made for shipment by the foreign barkers,
and the advance in these was most marked. in consequence
of their syntrathv with gold. The entire lint improved to
the extent of !sjir4l.l j per ci nt , and at the close the ten.
dency was stroncity upward under a brisk demand:which :
was stimulated by the further advance in gold after the
adjournment of te hoard.
[From 6 -dare World.]
Jar/. la---Therpeettlative excitement is extending. The
feattwee to-day were the d mand and rapid advance fu
the piece of government bonds and gold. Gold was cold

and the transaction were enormous. Orders are
coming in from all (porters. The future
is Is eked upon with dhtrust, and the moat conservative
men are alsrined at the revintionary attitede of Con
gress. The bill to abolish civil government in the Smelt
and the anointment of Ch nerd Greet as militfre Me.
tater. are looked upon as measures fraught with danger
to property holders end perhaps anarchy. The bill
which virtually abolishes the power of the Suprema
court to ca r ry out the functions delegated
by the Cot stifitticn adds to the feeling of
distrust in then Inds of capitalists Th , T/OV , rtv and de•
moralization in the cotton-growing States, with the cer

stagnation of Mutineer, the ecarety of money throughout
the country, the stoppage of contraction, and the twoha
hility of Congress reisseing all the greenbacks that Nfr.
McCulloch has coutracted fence tie has been in office,
form a catalogue of uncertainties which bewilder the
bitainers community in their judgment of the future.
The foreign bankers ..nd merchants aro lithoroughly
alarmed. and they aro to the fell extent of them ability
placing their capital on a.gold basis Mr. McCulloch after
two years' trial of his specie payment and greenback con
traction theories has ascertained that his greenback con

country. If Mr. McCulloch had poem a knowledge of .

tying the experinten% that the price of gold could never
be brought down to pa , at greenback contraction.
Gold at 125 in April, 1166. 168 in June, 1866. and

Mr. Schenck (Ohio), from the Committee of
Ways and Means, reported back the Senate
amendments to the bill providing for the ekemp

with a recommendation that they be non-con

He said that the Committee thought that the
bill as amended was worse than no report at all.
Mr. Stevens (Pa.) thought the bill was right
now. It was enough for Congress to fix the
matter for this year, and let the next Congress
dispose of it atttrwards. For his own part he
did not bilievein the repeal of the cotton tax at
all, but if it was to be repealed, it should tru only
temporarily. He bored that the motion to non
concur would not prevail.
Mr. Pile (Mo.) remarked that concurrence in
the anictidmuutswoultl defeat the whole object of
the bill.
The amendments of the Senate were non-con.
curled in.
Mr. Phelps (Md.) offered a resolution Instruct

ores. Adopted.
