Wasby Addresses a Letter to the Committee who have Called a, Con. vention of those who wore Impris oned for Disloyalty during the War. POST OFFIS, CONFEDERIT X ROADS, (Wick is in the State uv Kentucky,) January 8, 1868.—Noticin in the public prints that Vallandygum, and a passel uv others uv that kidney; bed called a Convenshun uv those who bed suffered imprisonment for holdin the opinion, durin the war, that the South wuz rite in secedin, and for dooin wat they cood to further the rite, to review their sufferins, I, uv course, expected to be invited to attend. Ez no invitashun came, I resolved to spare 'cm the stigma uv hevin gone back onto a fellow-sufferer, and, hencely, I wrote the fol lowin letter, wick I shel hey publisht in all the noosepapers. I feel it a dooty to call :the attenshun uv the party to my sufferins jest now, it heir jest afore a new deal takes place: To C. L. Vallandygum, Edson B. Olds, Henry Clay Dean and otheis,Committee: Yoor moovin note uv the 13th inst., invitin me to be present at a meetin uv those wick bed suffered for conschence sake doorin the late croosade, and to mingle my teers with them, is reseeved. Ez,l reseeved yoor note and red it, my sufferins come back to my mind so vividly that the fountins uv the grate deep wuz onsceled, and I wept scaldin teers., wept ez I thot how I suffered, how 1 hed Wa7Sted in liasteels the time --I so much needed in furtherin the grate coz in wich we wuz all engaged ; when I thot how, for three long weeks, 1 wasted away, pinin for the free air outside uv my prison walls; how, for all that tine, Iwnz exposed to, the horror uv seein around me feends in human form, Chi.d in the bloo I alluz detested ; how I wuz com pelled to listen, perpetooally, to sick songs ez: "We'll rally round the flag, boys, We'll rally wuust Shoutln' the battle cry uv Freedom !" And that other detestable air, which I never bear without a thrill of horror— " John Brown's body lies mouldrin in the grave, But his sole is a marchin on." Wish it is. And also, how for three long weeks I was compelled to live—no, not live, but eggsist—with not a drop uv anythin stronger or more revivifyin to drink than coffee; endoorin the pamelis horrors wich follers _the sudden_takin away uv that on wish we live, and on wickour moral, ez well ez . physikilomehers depend. But out ny regard to my feelins, I close these harrowin refiee shens. Shoed I dwell onto em, I should be onmanned. When I think of _them_ three Reeks without whisky, reason totters onto her throne, and I wonder that I am still alive. Trooly lam a spared monument. • It would not be out uv place in this con neekshun for me to dwell for a moment upon the sacrificis I hev made and the torters to wick I hey bin sabjectid. I hey, I may say it humbly, suffered probably more than any uv the glorious company uv martyrs Oar righteousnis' sake. My first taste uv Federal tyranny •wuz in 18G2. Well do I remember the day. A draft wuz impendin. The tyran nical Linkin, revelin in the gorgus halls uv despotic power at Washiuton, bed isshood his oppressive decree for "three hundred thousand more." I went, confidently, to the eggsaminer's oflis for my egvempshen, but in the face uv the most positive ashoorence on my part that I lied bron keetis and liver complaint at that time, and ind tied at different times uv my life de lirium tremens,- I wuz laft to, skorn,- and- per nouust cz sound cz a brick. I determined not to imbrue my bands in the blood uv my brethren uv the South. I shuddered at two ijees. First, at being punctured myself,' and, second, at puncturin any of my friends uv the Confederacy. Thercibre, I made my way ez best I mite to that refuge from the persekidor, Canady. Need I dilate onto the terrors uv that passage ? Need 1 state 'how I walked from my then place uv residence to Detroit, and how I swam across the river at that pint on a log, and how, when on strikin the sacred soil, 1 struck a ta.bloo and shook My fist at the stars and stripes, wick I Saw wavin on the 'other side?. No. For all uv yoo hew. done, it, of not in Canady,somewhere else. The draft wuz over, and I returned, Enpposin it wuz all rite. Skat•cely hed I reached my bumble home, when I wuz ar restid and„ dragged to a military camp. I bed bin drawd, and I wuz taken ez a deserter. .1 did riot serve tho. Ruttier than to carry a Fcdtal muskit, I clesertid in enlist, and.wat military life's did see, I saw •ia the Coufedrit ranks. But that wuz short. The Kurael uv my regment appreciatin my style ' ordered me tO be discharged, on the skore that I cood do the Chnifedrisy more good °pertain with ilie Dimocrisy uv the North than I cood car- ----- h -- - f a.. in =skits in the r uv er rave eda - ers. He wuz pleased to say that I wuzn't worth a d—n ez a soljer, anyhow! My second inkarseration wuz uv a more tryin Timber. I hed bin called to organize and drill a county wich lied determined, come weal, come wo, they never wood, under my cirkumstances, submit to be dragged to fight in a. coz wich 'they didn't beleeve in. They hed resolved in their meetins to die in their own door yards a thousand times each, ruther than submit to the drafts with wuz impendin too often, or to the onconstitooshnel taxes wich the monster at the bed uv the Government wuz a levyin. We wuz in camp, 900 strong, when a compny uv soljers wuz sent agin us. Willi by wun the defenders uv their rites bethot fflemselves uv biznis which they had at home. Wun's wife wuz momentarily expected to be confined, another bed for gotton to feed his cattle, and a third's oldek son, the heir uv his house, wuz to be marrid that nite. Eggsortin uv us to fite bravely for our rites, and die rite there before submittin, they left, fust wun at a time, then five in a squad, then ten, then a hundred,ontil all wuz gone but the and nineteen others. I wuz restrained by pride; the nineteen others 'couldn't git away owin to a barl uv new whiskey wich hed bin rolled onto the ground, and wich they hed monopolized atween em the only tin cup we bed in the camp. They were, ez a reward for their heroism and the sufferins that ensood, all elected to (Os that fall. I wuz treated with frightful severity. I wuz kept on the ordinary rashens uv a pri vate soljer. I wuz not allowed the pe roozel uv the Richmond papers, and I wuz compelled, afore bein released, to take the oath uv allegiance to the Federal Govern ment. - - And wat hey I got for it? Good Lord, I shudder when I think uv the ongratefulnis uv man! Thq party for which I suffered all this never so. much ez gave me a thing. _I wuz never made the recipient uv nothin ontil a re formed Abolishnt wuz made President, who hed to hey a party and who bed to take only sich ez'wuz for sale. But for this fortunate circumstance I mite now be forst to beg my bread. I spare yoo more detales. Suffice it to say, I approve uv the meetin. It wont do me ez much good ez it will yoo ; yoor sores sint-heeled, yoo hey bin smart enuff to keep,a irritatin uv em. Yoo hey kept a proddin uv em with rusty nales, and tearin uv era open with yoor fingers, afore aujences and in the noosepapers, ontil they hey reely come to be a stench in the nostrils. Let us unwrap em agin. Let the cold wind uv ingratiLood blow onto em until they get so inflamed that they will attract attenshen. Let Vallan digum onwind his bandages and show the hole the envious Burnside made. Holler "Asa" agin and agin in the ears uv Democrasy ontil they heer yoor cries and stop em with the Senatorship. Yoo, Olds, repeet the Fiteous tale uv how yoo wuz deprived uv your Bible ontil yoo bed well nigh forgotten Ham, Hager and Onesimus, and that even waste paper wuz denied yoo. Yoo, Milli gen and Bowles, repeet agin the story uv yoor captivity and release, and see to it that yoo get yoor hair dyed white, and that yoo come into the Convenshun leanin onto' a . cane, or, if possible, .onto ..the shoulders AY two young men who wuzn't imprisoned. I probably sbant be there myself, for 1 want nothin. lam pervided for. I hey nothin to make. But ez men who suffered even ez yoo did, and for the same coz, my sympathies are with yoo. Fraternally. PETROLEUM V. NASBY, P. M. (Wich is Postmaster.) EUROPEAN AFFAIRS. THE EASTERN QUE S TION. Congress of Russian Diplomatists at St. Petersburg. [From the Perla Biecle, Dec. 29.] There is at the present moment a regular Congress of Russian Diplomatists at St. Pe tersburg. The Russian Ambassadors at Con stantinople, Paris and Vienna—General Igna tieff, Count Von Budberg, Count Stackelberg and Count von Berg, are assembled under the Presidency of Prince Gortchakoff. Baron Brunnow„ the Russian Ambassador, has been excused from attending on account of his age and the inclemency of the season. The as sembling of these eminent persons is gene,- rally attributed to the necessity which is felt of having a precise line of policy in' the event of the complications which. are expected to occur in the East. What seems to confirm this view is that the extraDrdinary meeting coueFponds with the official publication by the Russian government of the documents which bear upon all the questions which are agitated in that quarter of Europe. Disquietly gluteillgence—RussianPro. pagandis►n in the Danubian Pro. vinees. [From the Pnrix Avenir National, Dec. 29.3 The most disquieting news arrives from the East. The Candiote movement has assumed such proportions that Husseir Pacha has been obliged to ask for reinforcements from Con stantinople. The Cabinets of St.Petersburgh and of Athens support the insurgents by money and sympathy, and are only waiting to give the more, effective aid. Moreover, the Serviang support the menacing - demands of the Montenegrins. We were informed by a despatch yesterday that Russian agents are traveling through - Bulgaria, - and- stirring up the inhabitants to - revolt. To-day we learn from Bosnia and Herzegovina that Rus sian propagandism is equally active in these provinces, and that it is promoted by the aid of the clergy of the Greek rite. • Austria, France and England Urged to Wile Against Russia. (From thO I'arik3 Opinion Nationale, Dec. 293 Compelled as Russia was to pause for a time; she bus not been long without returning to her former course. She filled the &lave provinces of Turkey and of Austria with missal ies,thus inspiring the Court of Vienna with the bitter but vain regret of having re mained neutral in 1854, instead of joining France sad England, first in fighting against the Czar, and then in uniting with England in deciding the, Emperor Napoleon to con tinue a salutary war. These were grave faultQ, of which the responsibility rests on the.Cahinets.uf Vienna, Paris and London. Austria now feels the point of the sword which she might have broken in 1851. France sets her continent.tl and Mediterranean inter ests in danger, and Ehglind cannot but recog nize the (Urgers with which the Czarian pol icy threatens her. The three Powers, there fore, Ought to unite in the presence of a com mon enemy. Russia, 'tis true, endeavors to isolate England, and holds out the annexation of Egypt as a bait. But our neighbqrs on the shores of the Thames will' not be thus easily caught in a Muscovite trap. They will reject the offers of the Czar Alexander as they did the proposals of the Czar Nicholas, because to England, who now derives all the advan tage she can ever hope to obtain from Egypt, the possession of that country would only . be 'a derisive indemnity to the increase of the power which Russia strives to realize in the East. We therefore trust that, in presence of the energetic attitude of the three Powers most interested in the Eastern question, the Czar wilt have the prudence to retire after having fired off the last . diplOmatic fon d'a7iY:fiCe. Ilicitet N on ►!is Reception in Ai nerica. To the Editor of the London Daily News—Sin: Your New York correspondent, THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN.-PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 15. 1868. hi the able ktter pubhshed on &Vl:n*lA - re m arks that Mr. Dickens was received in the United States "in a way, I believe, he eon siders cold." The letters which Mr. Dickens had written to his private friends prove this to be a misapprehension. - In one of them he declares that the greeting accorded to him in Boston was "magnificent;" and • the impres sions his New York audience made on him self and on your correspondent appear to differ totally. "The reception here" (at New York), Mr. Dickens writes, "was splendid; the audience bright and perceptive; the gene ral delight was most enthusiastic." His cor respondence abounds in expressions equally strong and equally gratifying. The newspapers of both cities which I have read describe the audiences on each occasion to have been extremely demonstrative. I afl, &C., LONDON, Dec. 28. The Safety of the ` Queen and the De. To a letter from the• West Cowes local. Board of Health to Lieutenant-General, the Hon. Chas. Grey, tendering the services of the population in defence of the threatened personal safety of the Queen, the Hon. Charles Grey responded in the following terms : OSBORNE, Dec. 22, 1867.—Sir : I have had the honor of receiving and submitting to the Queen the letter written by you as Chairman of the local Board of Health, in the name of the inhabitants of West Cowes, expressing their regret that any necessity should have arisen for the adoption of extra precautions to insure her Majesty's safety while resident at Osborne, and offering their services, either as special constables, or in any other way that may best prove their loyal devotion to Her Majesty's person and family. Her Majesty commands me to say that she is deeply touched by these loyal assurances on the part of her subjects at Cowes, and very grateful for them. She has herself never en= ter sir ed the slightest apprehension of her person'al safety, though she - has thought it right, to yield to the represntations of her Government by giving her sanction to the precautionary measures which they thought it prudent to adopt. It will be for the Gov ernment to consider whether anything more is necessary than has been already done, and I have, therefore, by Her Majesty's corn mand,:forwarded your letter to the Home Secretary, who will judge how far it may be desirable to take advantage of the offer of their services by the loyal inhabitants of Cowes. I have the honor to .be. Sir, your very obedient, humble servant, C. GREY. To J. Moors, Esq. The First Gray flair. ' (From the Boston Gazette.l . PARIS, December, 1867.—Let us whisper together. I would pour into your ear—hush! —secrets to be kept from nearest kindred, even from the better-half of you, wife or hus band. I would, whispering, probe the ten derest wounds time inflicts, those crows'feet which are some night marked in eyes' corners, those pimples which, like poor kin, will in trude upon you, and that first gray hair. "Oh!" says Mons. Jules Jani n, in a recent article, "of all the dramas a :woman can re- present on earth, the most cruel of all is the first white hair seen. Ah, Lisette! Ah, Mar ton, says she, as she unbraids her splendid locks with careless hand, 'tis strange, incre dible—a miracle! She boldly summons all her house to see this miracle. A gray hair! Who would believe it? Here 'tis, gray, abso solutely gray from one end to the other. 'Tis too funny. It is laughed at all day long. I shall give it to you, Gustave (Gustave is the lady's sweetheart), and you must place it in a medallion. A gray hair! She shows it to everybody she meets, and says to all her friends, I positively assure you I have a gray hair! So, so? But the day after the appearance of this tell-tale of the thirtieth year, my lady 'finds these menaces scattered amid her black curls. Another, still another and another still ! But now she does not boast of them; she hides them, or with a pitiless hand pulls them out. Vain efforts ! Thy misery, 0 wretched woman, shall continue to increase like those amorous cyphers youthful hands carve on beech-tree's bark. As love fades away, the beech, growing- old, becomes cov ered with these interlaced cyphers, and when the bark bt dint of growing falls at last froin the noblelree, twenty years before it fell love had entirely faded awaAfrom the hearts long since grown cold. Aud yet, what can she do? what will become of her? What miracle can she summon to her assistance? 0, Heaven! the irreparable misfortune of succumbing under so slight an infliction ! Do but look, see for yourself, if the cheek is not still as sheen, as ever,the tem ples are as delicate and as beautiful as in youth's morning,and the shoulder has scarcely attained all its beauty ! Nevertheless, the co quette has more sober grown; she has dis carded the novel she had begun to read. Her authors are more serious; the book in her hand is a harsh, severe moralist, who tells her all sorts of cruel , truths. But when night comes, my lady puts on her best clothes and adoins herself most beautifully, and cov ered with diamonds and flowers, looks by the light of the glittering chandeliers, like _a_ goddess in her box at the Grand Opera. Who could suspect the fatal sign had ap peared on her head? She says to herself, "Halt there! I am not defeated, yet! I'm going to fight to the last; for I shall not lose all these graces for one single hair which proves traitor to my youth. I shall not bury myself alive because a few flowers have fallen from my crown! Alas! who can tell, think ing-on these inexpressible tortures,how many passions, sorrows, and painful thoughts are contained in, this menace—a gray hair? Adieu, the soft speeches, the amorous accents and the loved songs. The gray hair condemns and kills us." If you be so menaced, let me bid you be of good cheer. Did you ever hear of Dr. Cazenove?' He is one of our most eminent physicians. His ante chamber is constantly filled with people from the uttermost ends of the earth, who come to beg him to cure them. He was for nigh upon thirty years the chiefphysician of the Hospital St. Louis, one of our most cele brated, special hospitals. He is considered everywhere one of the most celebrated au thorities in the treatment of diseases of the skin. Well, he has just published a work which tells all the secrets he has discovered in his long medical life fir averting grey hair, for effacing wrinkles, and in fine for waging successfulswarfare on all the enemies that at tack beauty.

KNEASS'S, 1110111 WASHINGTON* 'Ehe War Department. • (Special demjaatch to the Piddle Ledger., WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.—The reinstatement of Secretary Stanton in the War Department to-day, has been the all-absorbing subject of conversation hero. It appears that the President had an under standing with Gen. Grant, some tune ago, (and it was reneWed and its details recapitulated from time to tithe, and finally repeated on Saturday last) that he (Grant) would either hold on to the office of Secretary, ad interim, until the rights of Stanton should be adjudicated, in court, in case the latter should ,demand possession of the Department, or else be would give the Presi dent timely notice of his intended resignation as Secretary ad interim, and thus enable Mr. John son to appOillt some other to the office, who would refuse to surrender to Stanton until a de cision could be bad. As it was evident on Satur day last that the Senate would not sustain the suspension of Secretary Stanton, the President and General' Grant had another interview on the subject, and a full understanding substantially as above ect forth was the result. It was also agreed that Grant, in company with General Sherman, should call on the President on Mon day (yesterday), to determine finally whether ho would resign as Secretary ad interim, or continue in the office and teat Stanton's right, as before stated. Gen. Sherman called on the President yesterday, hut Gen. Grant did not. Meantime, on Sunday last a suggestion had been made to the President by certain Senators, that if the name of ex-Governor Cos, of Ohlo,should be sent to the Senate for Secretary of War; his nomination would probably be confirmed, and thus get rid of the Stanton imbrog lio at once. Mr. Johnson, however, pre ferred to have the matter take the course he had decided It should. especially as be had no doubt of having the cooperation of Grant in the Man ner before stated. What caused General Grant to change his mind, or to depart from the ar rangements, or why he did not notify the Presi dent of his intention to surrender to Stanton, has not transpired fully. The first notice the President had, however, of such change ofpur pose was upon receipt of the following note from Grant to-day, at about 11.:30 A. M. lixaDoeArrrsus, ARMY U. S., January 14, 186 S. Excellency A tidreic.lolinson, President of the:United ttitalea---811s: I have the honor to in close herewith a copy of the official notice re ceived by nie last evening of the action of the Senate of the United States in the case of the suspension of Hon. E. M. 'Stanton, Secretary of War. According to the provisions of section 2d of an act regulating the tenure of civil officers, niy functions as Secretary of War ad interim ceased from the moment of the receipt of the written notice. I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant, U. S. GRANT, General. Here foLows a copy of the resolution of the Senate. This letter was handed to the President by one of Grant's staff just one hour after Grant had surrendered to Stanton, and of course the latter was 'in possession of the War Department that length of time befere Mr. Johnson was advised of what bad transpired. It appears that a certified ;copy of the Senate resolution was served upon , both General Grant and Secretary Stanton, last night about eight o'clock, by Colonel Forney, Clerk of the Senate, in person. A copy was left at the White House about nine o'clock last night, but the President was engaged In the reception, and he did not see it until about nine o'clock this morning. What course will be pursued by either the President or Stanton, a few hours will determine. [Special Despatch to the l'ress I The resolution adopted by the Senate in Stan ton's case yesterday was as follows : lefuolred, That having considered the evidence and reasons given by the President in his report of the nth of December, 1867, for the suspension from the 'office .of Secretary of ,War of Stanton, the Senate do not concur In such sus pension. Armed with a certified copy of this resolution, Secretary Stanton proceeded to the War Odic° at 10 o'clock this A. M., and finding General Grant absent, quietly seated himself in the ante-room adjoining the Secretary's office, where he was the recipient of many warm con gratulations from the crowd in waiting. General Grant had just left the War Office a few moments before his arrival, and had locked the door and taken the key with him. A messenger was des patched to the headquarters of the army Imme diately, who obtained the key, and upon return ing with it to General Dent, the latter placed it In the hands of Adjutant-General Townsend, who delivered it to Secretary Stanton. The Secretary then unlocked the door and proceeded to odic his accustomed position behind the desk which during the past five months has been in the cus tody of General Grant. He was thus finally and without unusual occurrence or demonstration re instated as Secretaryof War, and again received the hearty congratulations of numerous Congressmen and others who had assembled for that purpose, or had been attracted thither from motives of curiosity. His first official act was the reception of the delegation of Radical Tennessextans who had come to the department, expecting to find Gen. Grunt in control of It, and who embraced the opportunity thus afforded them to formally reiterate their congratulations. They then pre sented a petition to him to continue the opera tion of the Freedmen's Bureau in the States of Tennessee and Kentucky after the 15th of February next, at which time, by order of the President, It ceases in those States. Mr. Stanton replied, that so long as he had any power he would use it to protect the weak and would do his best to have the request earned ,out. He added that he was familiar with the law in the case, and was willing to act immediately,l but owing to the fact that he was partially ignorant of the manner In which the business of the de partment had been transacted during his summer vacation, he felt obliged to defer final action in the case for a short time. The delegation then with drew, and Gen. Grant entered the room and re mained with the Secretary until 12 o'clock. In the meantime Secretary Stanton had issued au order relieving General Dent, of .General Grant's staff, from the office of Assiatant—Adjatant-- General, and reinstating General Pelouze, the former occupant of that position. Ha had also issued an order directing General Hardie to transfer his desk to General Shriver. Aside from this, the Secretary transacted no business of importance, except to issue an- order-inform ing the employda of the department that he had again taken possession of the War portfolio. Several of the chiefs of bureaus and chief clerks called on him to receive instructions regarding their duties, and at four o'clock he left the department for his residence, giving in his usual way various orders to different subordi nates. Speculation was rite during the day as to whether he would attend the cabinet meeting, which convened at noon, and ` ht which General Grant was present by special invitation of the President. The most absurd rumors prevailed regarding this matter, and among others one that he had been rudely refused admission to the White House by one of the ushers, all of which were unfounded, as he did not leave the War De partment building at all until after the Cabinet adjourned. President Johnson officially in formed General Grant that he would not recog nize Mr. Stanton in any manner whatever, nor hold any official communication with him, and that be would, in the future, send all his orders regarding army matters to him, as the General of the army.-- General Grant remained at the-Cabi net meeting until half-past one, when he re turned to army headquarters, although the Cabi net continued its session until a late hour. It is stated to-night that the President construes the situation in the following manner: He argues that General Grant was ordered by him to assume the duties of the War Department, and that his voluntary submission to the demand of Secretary Stanton without instructions from him can only be considered as a direct disobe dience of orders which subjec y ts him to trial by court-martial.ln this view it is stated that he is sustained by all the members of his Cabinet, who were present at its meeting to-day, when it is un derstood the matter was fully discussed. It is also stated that the President will issue several important, orders to General Grant, bearing on' the case, very soon, which will probably result in greater entanglements, IF not in open rupture between rim and Gen. Grant. The excitement regarding the matter has not yet subsided, and the public is on the qui vice in expectation of further developments. THE Ruestax Toxoup..—The Russian govern ment has announced that no notice will be taken of letters adkessed to it by foreigners unless they are in thn.Russian language, and the Saxon ambassador has accordingly ordered all letters in German sent to him for transmission to the Rus sian authorities to be translated into. Russian at the cost of the senders. CONGRESS,-SECOND SESSION. CONCLUSION or iki9]'EßD6ir'i4" rrtocEEDiticia 'Senate. WHISKY MMUS!' Bfr. Bum - Luau reported back from the Committee on Commerce the !louse resolution providing for the appointment of .a commission of four to examine and rep:rat:hi meters for disttlled spirits, with an amend ment adding to the members or said commission the existing commission of the Academy of ticiences. EMI= Mr. WILLUMB, et New York, offered a resoltelon Instructing the Committee on Finance to inquire Into the expediency of providing for the funding and Con sada= of the debt of the United States into obli gations whose jitinelpal shall never become due, bear ing interest at Our percent. per annum, payable semi annually in coin and exempt from all taxation, and further, to provide for the purchase of such bonds from time to time by the Secretary of the Treasury as the pecuniary ability of the government may justify. The committee also to consider the p•oprlety of int poring high discriminating duties upon costly fabrics and luau' les, with a view to checking excessive Importation, and consequent exportation of gold, and reducing the amount of duties collected to the stun necessary for paying the interest on the debt, and of removing taxes from producers of mining. Also, to amend the national bank act, so as to permit their establishment without limit as to number; to prohibit all other systems of banking, and to provide for the substitution of national bank notes in the place of Treasury notes now in circulation; with a further provision promoting the return to specie pay- - ments, by requiring said banks to hold their reserves in coin, - and offering special Inducements to banks now existing for the same purpose. Laid on the - table. CONPISCATED LANDS. Mr. FRELINDHUYSEN, of New Jersey, introduced a bill to restore possession of lands confiscated by the authorities of States lately in rebellion. ,Eteferred to the Committee on the Judiciary. I=l On motion of Mr. Dims . , of Kentucky, his regal tlon to create a constitutional tribunal, - eimtposed of one member from each State, to decide on questions of jurisdiction between the United States and the several States, was taken up, and he continued his re marks, arguing that the powers of the Supreme Goad in regard to such questions arc inadequate, as well as that the vote of Congress on the thirteenth amend ment to the Constitution, and similar questions, hav ing been less than two-thirds of the whole number of Senators and Representatives, that amendmentis not now a part of the Constitution. At the conclusion of Mr. Davis' speech, Mr. NYE, alluding to a remark of Mr. Davis in re gard to Lee's surrender, said it was a pity he bad not surrendered when Lee did. [Laughter.) irrartorrgirr. Mr. %MBES', 'of Minnesota, asked leave to intro duce a bill authorizing the several executive depart ments to purchase paper and envelopes of the Treasz cry Department, and that department to Pill the same without previous advertisement, provide. 'hat they can he purchased twenty per cenL lower than in open market. De said the Postmaster-General was about to contract for $lOO,OOO worth of wrapping paper for postofgces; on which a saving of twenty or thirty per cent. could be effected in this- manner, if he Were no tified that such a bill was pending. cErnItENCY. Mr. SitEEMAN, of Ohio, rose to a question of order, and called for the special order, the bill to prevent further contraction of currency. Mr. Ditann asked what was the reason for fixing the particular period of suspension on Julyl next, as pro vided by Mr. Buckalew amendment Mr. Muer:Ai:ay.' said the session would he then, nearly at an end, and Congress could sufficiently consider this and similar questions in the mean, time. DRASiL suggested that perhaps the • Senator had another motive. The suspension being, cut short at that time, the resumption of contraction might furnish a reason for his and his party's denouncing the Republican party as causing all the trouble there by entailed. Mr. limn/az - iv disclaimed an'y such Intention. If the Senator carried the discussion into this field it would be his own act. Mr. DRAKE suggested that the Senator then modify his amendment by making the period the first Tues day after the first of November next. Mr. Fnamisostursits, of New Jersey, was in favor of an early resumption of specie payments, as very• de sirable. lie opposed further contraction because it nook) destroy the ability of the people to pay off the debt, by limiting capital without decreasing the debt; and he opposed expansion, on the other hand, as 'being equally- an - evil. Mr. Buckalew's amendment was lost. Mr. DRAKE, of Missouri, moved to amend by pro viding for the repeal of the law allowing contraction. He thought the community should not be kept in sot pense,but should know that the Secretary of the Treas ury could not further contract without authority of Cot cress. Mr. SHERMAN suggested that the amendment was not in order, the proposition having been already voted down. The CHAIR sustained the point. Mr. Conners, of Oregon, moved to amend by ad ding the following provision: Proridat, That nothing in this act shall be eo con strued as to prevent the Secretary of the Treasury from substituting notes payable in gold on demand, in place of an equal amount of legal tender notes, in such manner and at such times ua he may deem best for the public interest. Lost—nays 40. yeas I. Mr. Cormsrt. believed by this vote the Senate had committee itself against the policy of a return to specie payment, and praised the past policy of the Secretary of the Treasury, which they had endorsed when their judgment was not marked by outside pres sure. Mr. 2,lortumn. of Vermont, offered an amendment that suspension of contraction ehall cease wheathe current price of gold coin shall be 140 in United States notes, or 100 in coin.-- He hoped it would he accepted by the Chairman of the Finance Committee. Mr. Snartatear, of Ohio, declining, after a few re marks by Mr. Cameron, the amendment was lost—yeas 6, nays 37. During the debate, the hill in regard to a quorum in the Supreme Court, &c., with the House amend ments) thereto, came over and was referred, to the Com mitted on the Judiciary. Mr. SUNNI:It said the amendments were very im portant He thought it unreasonable that a bare ma jority of any court should declare an act of Congress unconatitutfonal, contrary to reason and common sense. Be hoped the committee would consider whether n three-fourths or four-fifths vote, or even a imanlmons vote, should not be required. On that he would express no opinion. Mr. SPRAULZ opposed the bill as accomplishing nothing. He favored neither contraction nor expan sion, and his course:was not dictated by regard for manufacturing interests, bnt for the interests of the whole country. Interest of money should be subordl• nated to ell other interests of the country. It mutt be so for its own good. The Treasury of the United States was now a gigantic corporatton, tending to establish a monopoly of banking interests, - to which the people's interests were subordinated. He explained the national banking system to support this view, and said the country was now in a condition similar to that of Great Britain prior- to the estab, lishment of the Bank nt England. After alluding to the enormous interest required babe paid by business men here, as compared with the rate in England, said the country could only be saved by the establishment of such a bank. He yielded to a motion to adjourn, which was lost-- yeas, 16; nays, 17. Whereupon he resumed the floor, and was proceed ing to give his reasons for holding views contrary to those generally held by his section, when, at the sug gestion of Mr. Trumbull, he again yielded to a motion to adjourn, which was carried, and the Senate ad journed. House off Representatives- Mr. WAslinurtzik, of Illinois, from the Committee on Appropriations, reported back the bill providing that no money shall be hereafter paid on account of the seizure or the impression of or for damages or demurrage, or detention of land or water conveyances in insurrectionary States, or for transportation ser vice, tolls, and ferriage beyond the tariff of prices fixed by the Postmaster-General, or for the use and occupa tion of land in insurrectionary States for fortiflcatiOn purposes. On the suggestion of Mr. HomfeN, the consideration of the bill was postponed till next Friday. RILLS INTRODUCED. Bills were Introduced and referred as follows By Mr. Ciann", of Karma, authorizing the construc tion of a bridge across the Missouri River, on the mil itary reservation of Fort Leavenworth, and to provide for the reduction of said reservation. To the Com mittee on Military Affairs. By Mr. HOLBROOK, of Idaho Territory, granting aid for the construction of a railroad and telegraph line from the Union Pacific Railroad to Idaho, Portland, in Oregon, Montana and Paget Sound. To the Commit tee on Public Lands. Mr. BARNES, of Massachusetts, presented a commu nication from the Department of State, stating that pursuant to the stipulations of the treaty with Japan, of October 22, 1861, this government had received as its share of the' indemnity stipuleed by that treaty 4000,0001 ff gold, which amount had been invested in United States registered bonds, and now awaited such disposition as Congress might direct. Referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs. The Morning hoar having expired, the Rouse re sumed the consideration of the bill reported yester day from the Committee on Reconstruction. Mr. Bnooxs on behalf of himself and Mr. Beck, pre sented the minority report. In - doing so, he stated thatthe gentleman from Pennsylvania, Mr. ,Stevens, Was also opposed to the bill, though on different grounds, they being opposed to it on principle, and he (Mr. Stevens) being opposed to it because he did not deem it effective enough, but hat it was rather atilt to make a President of the D Red States, than to early out the objects stated in t 111 1 „ hlr. Brooks; thereupon read the minority report, as follows : MINORITY REPORT. The undersigned, a minority of the Committee on Reconstruction, so-called, submit, among others, the following as some of their reasons in opposition to the bill : First. That a Congress ex . parte is asked (drat sec tion) to abrogate and destroy all civil State govern mduts in ten States, lour of them. viz: Virginia, North Carolina. South Carolina and Georgia, being of the original thirteen that started the government THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN.-PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, JA_NUktY 15, 1868. • and created the Constitution, while four others of that thirteen, making eight;.lrk_ .tedn, • denleristriiiirig "thiotign: Their popular elections that they recognize these civil State governments and guarantees as far as the popular voice thus can—pre servation, not destruction—as legal State govern ments. heft-government and representation are co ordinate principles of a republic, and solemnly or dained in our Federal Constitution. But this section ignores both, and robs ten States of the Union, and their twelve millions of inhabitants, of all protection from the Judiciary or Executive branches of the gov ernment, while decreeing them to a military deepot isrn. Second. That a Congress thus repreeenting but a part of the people, and that part now In a minority, even, of a doubtful Congress, in the parliamentary sense of that word, would be but one of the three great branches of the gov.emtnent, with no right and no power to invalidate or to deny the recognition of the Judicial or Executive power, as asserted in the bill. The Executhe or Judiciary has as much right to proclaim or adjudicate that Congress shall not be recognized, as Congress has thus to!onact, for the Ex ecutive and the Judiciary both are as much thu gov ernment and the creation of the Constitution as the' House of Representatives or Senate, and the Executive elected by the whole people better represents the principles of popular government than a Senate, the mere arbitrary creation of the States. Third. That the invalidation or nullification of the Executive and Judicial powers in ten States is not only an abolition of the Federal Constitution. bat without a direct repeal of and is in conflict with the great military acts of 1792, 1795, and of March 8, 1807, patting the army and navy and militia of the united btates, in certain cases. at the disposal of the Presi dent, and also in conflict with the fundamental judi ciary act of 1789, and also ill conflict with the act 4th, section 5, of the Constitution. which, while guaran teeing to every State a republican form of govern ment, also guarantees, on application of the civil authorities of the States, protection against domestic violence or invasion, ench as is contemplated in this bill. Fourth. That the second and third sections are In utter violation of the Constitution,article second, sec tion two, Which declares the'Presdent to be the Com mander-in-Chief of the Army of the United States, inasmuch as the General of the army is there author - ized to be that commander-in-chief, and to remove by his order alone any or all officers of the army of the United States independent of the Constitutional and ropeely-elected Commander-in-Chief, and this inves• titure of a general of the army with this supreme dic tatorship is, as. if in solemn mockery set forth to be to reorganize civil government republican inform. Fifth. That the whole act is revolutionary and in cendiary, in arraying Congress, hat one branch of the government, against the co-ordinate branches, in all ell respects the constitutional equals of Congress, and in some respects the constitutional superior of that Congress, and Thereby caletilated, if mit intended, to involye the whole country in commotion and civil strife, the end of which no human eye can foresee.. (Signed) .J.smas BIU)0K9, of New JANES B. Been, of Kentucky. Mr. Borrwm.t.called attention to the fact that in the minority report reference was made to' the Recon struction Committee as "so-called." He regarded that expression as indecorous to the House. Mr. Bnouns said be had used the expression be cause the civil governments in the Southern States mere, in the bill., reported by the committee spoken of, as "so-called civil governments." He would, however, strike that word out of the minority re port. Speaking of the bill reported by the committee, Mr. Brooks said it se< ined to him that the bill was mainly designed to elect a President of the United States, and to en organize the Southern States as to elect a par ticular person to be President, in order to give that particular person a sufficiency . of power to become President lie was by this bill made supreme dictator over ten !-overeign !States and a vast extent of territory from he Potomac to the Rio Grande. That was the object of the bill. It could well he understood, and yet he did not see why it was neces4my, in order to do that. to violate the Constitution for the purpose of settling the Presidency. There seemed to be two objects—one was to invest the General of the army with such su preme power that his friends could control his nomi nation in the National Republican Convention, by e! sting delegates to it of their own preference. The o: her was to clothe the General of the Army with such vast prerogatives and powers that, in their exercise, he would be sure to commit political suicide. Thas, both the friends and the opponents of that nomina i;on ere supporting this bill_with purposes entirely Different. M. Bingham proceeded to explain and advocate the bill, and to reply to the arguments contained in the »>inority_reputt., He said that no.one could evade the conclusion that there was now in the country a great and powerful organization always talking, about the sanctity of the Constitution, and opposed to-day, as it was opposed eight years ago, to the defense of that Constitution, either by arms or by laws. This was not a contest between the Democratic party and the Re publican party, it was a contest between the friend of the government of the United States and its ene mies, open or covert. Mr. BrNOLIAM went on to argue that the bill was as clearly constitutional as any act that had ever been lased by Congress. Re found authorityfo: it in that clause of the Constitution which dee hat the United States shall guarantee to each Ste republi can form of government. Mr. It LIMUIWE suggested that that presupposed the existence of a government which was to be guaran teed. Mr. limounx contended that it also applied to the present condition of the Southern States, which legal government could not be restored without the aid of the legislative department of the government. He was well assured that even the Supreme Court would never challenge the authority of the first section of the bill without first taking back every decision which that Court had ever made on the subject, directly or indirectly. Mr. ELDRIDGE inquired whether this bill, entrust ing the General of the army with powers lodged by the Constitution in the President, was not sub tracting to that extent from the powers of the Execu tive? Mr. ilmoitsts replied that there might be some reason In the objection it the only power given to the President was that be should be the Commander-in- Chief of the army and navy, but the gentleman should remember that the Constitution declares in express terms that the Executive power shall be vested in the' nation. Congress bad from the very beginning of the government conferred executivepower on marshals, major-generals, brigadier-generals. colonels, and cap tains. The President was Commander.in-Chief, and was subject to such laws as the Congress might pass for the government of the armyand navy. Mr. Fsmsswonvu suggested that acts had been passed and signed by Mr. Johnson, directing the Sec retory of War to detail officers to certain duties and directing the Secretary of the Navy to detail vessels of war to particular duties, and if the bill now before the House was unconstitutional, so were those bills which the President had signed. Mr. BINGIIAN, resuming his argument in favor of the bill, declared that its object was not to deprive the People of the South of protection, but to hasten the day when, under the protection of law enforced by the whole Executive power of the nation, those States should be reorganized. He declared that those States could never return until, in the most solemn forms of law, they gave a new and irrepealable guarantee for the safety of the republic. Mr. LOAN addressed the House in support of the bill, and at the close of his remarks, Mr. Woon, of New York, obtained the floor, but yielded in order that the House might adjourn. COMMUNICATIONS. Mr. MILLET., of Pennsylvaiiia,presented a joint reso lution of the Pennsylyania Legislature in reference to a communication between Lake Erie and the Ohio River. Referred to the Committee on Commerce. The SPEARER presented a message from the Prod dint transmitting a communication from the Secre tary of War ad interim, with a report in reference to contracts for ordnance, etc. 'Referred to the Com mittee on Ordnance. Also, a message from the President transmitting the report of the Commissioners to make treaties with Indians. Referred to the Committee on Indian Affairs. The SPEAKE;i also presented a communication from he General of the army. with a telegram from Ma or-General Meade, as follows: "tuless the pending bill in Congress, directing military officers to fill the offices in the States under their commands, rescinds the test oath in the pro vision to select qualified voters, I am informed its ex ecution in this district will be entirely impraeticab'e." Mr. BROOKS, of New York, inquired how that com munication had come before the House? The SPEAKER stated that it was sent by the General of the army. Mr. 131100K8 characterized it as a novelty in legisla tion for the head of the army to transmit a dispatch for the purpose of influencing the action of the House. The communication Was referred to the Committee on Reconstruction. Mr. Asumnr, of Ohio gave notice of an Amendment to the reconstruction bill, authorizing the State Con ventions to enfranchise citizens now disfranchised, who may co-operate with loyal men in restoring their btates to their constitutional relations to the govern ment. Mr. Lux introduced a bill to provide levees to se cure from inundation the lowlands of Arkansas and Missouri. Referred to the Committee on the Freed men's Bureau.

Probably never before in the whole history of me dhoti& has anything won eo widely and eo deeply upon the, conti-• deuce of mankind, as this excellent remedy for mimes.' nary complaints. Through a long series of ; yeare,,ainh among most of the races of men it bee risen' higher and; higher in their estimation, as it has become betterkturni‘ Its uniform character and power to cure the various af fectioml of the lunge and throat, have made it knotviiienn' reliable protector against them. While adapted to milder forms of disease and to young children, it is at the earner l ' time the most effectual remedy that can be given for , cipient consumption, and the dangerous affections of the ' ' throat and lungs. As a provision against sudden attack. of Croup, it should be kept on hand in every family, and• indeed as all are sometimes [subject to colds and coughs all should be provided with this antidote for them. Although settled Consumption is thought incurabl& still great numbers of cases whore the disease seemed settled, have been Completely cured, and the patient re stored to sound health by the Cherry Pectoral.

Asthma is always relieved and often wholly cured by it. Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the Cherry Ito. (oral in small and frequent doses. So generally are its virtues known that we need not publish the certificates of them here, or do more than assure the public that its qualities are fully_ maintained.
