As one who journeys oil a stormy night .
Through mountain passes which he does not
know,
Shields, like his life, from savage gtists that blow,
The swaying flame of his frail torch's light,
8o each of us, through life's long groping tight,
Clings fast to one dear faith, one love, whose
glow
Makes darkness noonday to our trusting sight,
And joys of perils into which we go.
God help us when this precious shining mark
The raeing storms of deep distrust assail
With icy, poisoned breath, and deadly aim,
Till we, with hearts that shrink and cower and
quail
In terror, which no measure has, nor name,
Stand trembling, helpless, palsied, in the
H dark!

NEW PCBLICATIONS.
J. B. Lippincott & Co: have just issued an in
teresting little volume upon a scientific subject of
great practical importance. It consists of a series
of papers written by Dr. Benjamin Lee, of this
..city, on The Angular Curvature of the Spine.
Dr. Lee luis devoted himself for several years
past, first in association with Dr. Charles F. Tay
lor, of New York, and since in his practice in this
city, to the treatment of &phial disease. - From ac
cidents and from disease, affections of the spinal
column are very numerous and are constantly
treated upon a diagnosis so foreign to the true
nature and seat of the disease, that comparatively
little success is met with In allaying the excrucia-
ting sufferings and the terrible deformities which
are consequent upon the wasting away of the ver
tebrae and the inflammation and disease of. the
inter-vertebral cartilages.
The application of mechanical supports to a
diseased spine is not, by any means, a new-prac
tice. The Into Dr. J. K. Mitchell, one of the
ablest medical minds in the Profession, more
than twenty years ago thoroughly tested their
efficiency, and. Dr. Lee happily adopts, as the
--motto-of-his work, Dr. _Mitchell's remark, that
• "Where there is advantage to be derived from
machines I use them, without much regard to
theoretical objections." In the practice which
Dr. Lee clearly expounds in this work,
the Jemedy for spinal curvature is
simply that of support for the spinal
column, so applied as to relieve the press
ure upon the diseased part, to lift the super
impot9sl weight of the head and trunk from the
vertebra where ulceration and caries are at work,
to "shore up the building," so to speak, and give
Nature a chance to get in and repair the wasted
structure and lay her foundations anew. The
suacessful treatment of Dr. Mitchell and others,
twenty years ago, appears to have fallen utterly
into disuse • until recently when it has
been revived and greatly improved upon
by the inventions and appliances of
Drs. Taylor, Lee and perhaps a few others.
The little work now before us ably combats the
objections which are always sure to be raised
against all innovations in medical and surgical
practice, and brings forward the facts of success
ful cures to meet the theories of the objectors.
The spinal affections treated of are so sadly
prevalent that any work which deals with them
- rationally and 'which gives the results ot long
practical study and experience, is certainly enti
tled to careful perusal and impartial considera
tion by the profession.
T. Belknap, Hartford, has published the second
Volume of Lossing's Pictorial History of the
Civil War, the publication of which was com
menced in this city by Mr. G. W. Childs. The
second volume resumes the narrative of the war,
carrying it down to the full of Vicksburg, in
1863, at the West, and to the appointment of
General Hooker to the command of the army of
the Potomac, in 1862, at the East. Mr. Lossing
has labored most industriously in the collection
of the material for this work, having traveled
several thousand miles through the South, since
the publication of the first volume, in search of
documents Sind other valuable information. As
a popular compendium d r f the war, Mr. Lossing's
work will be a valuable book of reference. It is
very handsomely printed, and profusely illus
trated. The views of scenery, battlefields and
other points a interest arc well executed, but
the military portraits are very badly drawn,
though well engraved. They are generally very
unlike the of iginals. The third volume is prom
ised at an early day, completing the work. Tue
first and second volumes may be on application
to Mr. W. 11. Batt, agent for the publidiur, toe
Market street.
J. B. Lippincott Co. have published another
volume of their "Glebe Edition" of Bulwer
containing "Harold," unquestionably one of the
finest of Bulwer's novels. It is of course uni
form with the preceding volumes, on fine, tinted
paper, beautiful type, very neatly bound and at
a very low price.
G. W. Pitcher has received two more volumes
of D. Appleton& Co.'s cheap edition of Dickehs
"American Notes," prlec,fifteen cents; and "Great
Expectations," complete; for twenty-five cents,on
good paper and clear type.

The Princess Mary of Cambridge (Princess
'reek) laid the foundation-stone of a new
church ateOld_ Brentford, near London, on
the 30th of December. At the dinner subse
quently, the Bishop of Tennessee, in' re
sponding for the -clergy, dilated in a very
happy manner upon the' intimate relations
that must always exist between the Estab
lished Church of England and that of Amer
ica. He believed that there wacinot e all the
wwld ever, a body ofmore faithful, : earnest,
bard:-working Men than the bishops and
clergymen of the Church of' England, and
that the blessing of heaven had signally
rested upon their labors, and had borne
rich fruit both in reference to the
material and spiritual prosperity of the mother
courtly. On a very recent occasion it had
befallen him to act as one of the secretaries
pro ton. to the Bishop of Oxford; and they
could gather sonic idea of the labors of the
episcopal etlice in England when he told
them that both he and another secretary were,
buSily engaged fiir hours in writing letters
from the ,hishop's dictation, while the bishop
himself was also writing letters quite as in-
Austriously. [Cheers.] Lie had also had the
honor of staying with the Bishop of London,
and be desired to bear his humble tes
timony to the zeal 'and industry of
their diocesan. The Bishop of London was
one who re eopn ized authority everywhere,
ned cheerfully encouraeed all whom he any
where found doing their Mrster'S work with
£ingtevess of heart,even if he did not discover
• in it em an exact, coincidence of thought and
belief on all point's'. [Cheers.] The manner
in Which their Bishop fulfilled the duties'. of
bis high (Alice reminekd him of the answer
that a little girl once made in reference to that
petition in our Lord's Prayer, "Thy will be.
done upon 'earth, even as is heaven." She
said that it me wt doing it without asking
any question, and it was just in that way
that their Blimp had done his' work
—boldly, earnestly, straightforwardly,
and without asking any questions.
[Cheers.] The Bishop proceeicil to point
out that the •system of purely secular edu
cation was fraught with
and
to the best
interests of the nation, he warned his
bearers that they sbonld never overleeic
necessity of a sound religious basis for our
national instruction._ In America-the-purely
secular system was in full force, and had done
wonders; but no child in the American train
ing-schools could venture to stand up and say,
"I believe in God the Father Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth." [Cheers.] He
was afraid they were coming to this in Eng
land. [Hear ' hear.] This was what people
in high station were in favor of; but he
prayed them not in this respect to follow the
example of America. [Cheers.]
Business Prospects in England.
The London Times of January 1 has the
following on the prospects of business in
1868:
Da to the prospects of 1868, if political and
harvest contingencies could be set aside,evcry
ground for trust and animation would be be
fore us. Each trader must qualify according
to his own judgment in these respects the an
ticipations he would otherwise be entitled to
entertain. As far as the discount market is
concerned, there never was more distinct rea
son to assume that the abundance of money
experienced during the past summer will still
be witnessed on all sides. But, whatever
facilities may exist in this way, the merchant
and dealer can feel little confidence in any
plans he may form while the magnitude
of the armies of the Continent, which
has been year by year, for so long a
time, the ever-increasing scandal of
European civilization, is apparently destined
to be augmented even in a more than ordi
nary ratio. The peculiar uncertainties that
attend alike the fiscal and financial system of
the United States must also operate to cause
constant watchfulness and anxiety. But,
even making full allowances for these conside
rations, it would seem hardly possible that
during the coming year anything but a low
charge for money can prevail. It must be
borne in mind that as a general rule the value
of money can be permanently raised only by
a foreign expenditure in excess of our re
ceipts; War would - ultimately have -- this`
effect, because the waste of armies would
lead the powers engaged to bid high for capi
tal in every direction, but, owing to the cau
tion at the same time aroused, it would be
long before any large amounts would be sup
plied. A bad harvest acts more rapidly, but
with a stock of x'11,000,000 of bullion at Paris,
and £22,000,000 in London,another deficiency
equal to that of the past year would scarcely
suffice to drive the bank rate from its present
point up to the average of fora• per cent.
People are apt to fancy that an abundance of
money, like that now prevalent, may be at
tributed to the distrust which leads to daily
sales of securities on the one hand, and the
timidity of investors on the other. This is
altogether an error. If confidence were sud
denly to return, and a general rush to pur
chase securities were to ensue, it would have
no effect in diminishing the amount of unem
ployed capital on the market. The man who
buys £lOO consols, or railway stock, or any
other home security, pays the amount to the
seller, and the only result is that A holds the
stock instead of 13, and B golds the cash in
stead of A.." Full reliankg may, therefore, '
be entertained that whatever rally should
occur on the stock exchange it will be con
current with undiminished ease in the money
market until war or blighted harvests inter
pose disturbance, or we again commit our
selves to extravagant living andan.. undue- im
portation of foreign produce.
Mr. Gladstone on Tradest , Union.
The following correspondence has been
published in the English papers:
"No. 94 ROCLIDA.LE ROAD, MANCHESTER,
December 19th, 1867.—Dcar Sir : Reading
your evening speech at Oldham, I met with
the following passage: 'ln some parts of the
country, employers are told that they must
not employ more than so many apprentices—.
what is the meaning of that ? It is to limit
and hamper the employer in the payment of
wages, by prescribing to the employer the
class of workmen he must employ.' If you
would kindly permit me to answer your
query, I should say that, when men em
ployed in a certain trade find that the market
for their special labor is overcrowded,and that
many competent men are unable to find em
ployment, it is to limit, in some de
gree,. the 'supply' to the 'demand,' by
preventing masters keeping auy number
of apprentices they may please at a
rade mat is already •llooded. It is, in short,
to carry out the rule, 'Self-preservation is the
tint law of nature.' Then, Sir, I think it
should be remembered that, though masters
undertake to teach apprentices their business,
this instruction is generally imparted by the
it
workmen, who ave therefore a right to say:
'ln view of the verstocked state of the trade
we will only lei rii so many apprentices their
business.' Being an apprentice in a trade
where there are thousandsiff men out of
fi y
witil the effects that would fogos from
throwing the trade open, I venture to think,
would be to lower the present rate wages,
to increase the number of unemplo ed, and to
make it more difficult for apprentices them
selves, when they become journeymen, ob
taining employment. I trust you will'excuse
the . liberty I have taken in thus writing, but .I
felt that it was necessary that you should hear
'both sides of the question.'
"I remain, respectfully, yours,
"Wu. DARRAIL
. _
"W. E. Gladstone, - Esq., M. P."
"IIAwAnDEN, Dee. 28, 1867.—Dear Sir:
—lt is difficult for me to correspond indi
vidually wiik those who may notice anything
said by me in public; but I fear you might
misunderstand my silence.. I therefore write
to say ny }imposition is that all limitations
on the number of apprentices are a direct at
tack upon the property of the working-class,
by diminishing the amount paid for their labor.
Apprentices would be employed only when
their,labor.was more the employer:
getting (relatively to cost) more efficient labor
would employ more of it, and pay more for
it. if we consider them as paid in instruc
tion, larg.r number of skilled laborers would
be reared, and the labor of adults would be
mote e Met ive from having combined with it
that amount of apprentice labor which free
dom of choice would dictate. I have seen
wh consider deplorable cases in this coun
try of bad production, trade kept abroad, and
coca ul plffiCeioll at the expense .of the com
n.m.ity, closcly, connected with this sys
tem of limiting:, by arbitrary rule, the labor of
the.) oung pprehend there are also, in
some or ninny trades, rules against piece
and rums preventing the best men
trent doing ail the work they can in a given
tine. rNiele rules are utterly httal as far as
they go to the welfare of the laboring class,
who undoubtedly in these matters sin much
more against themselves than against the rest
of the community.
I..hui, dear, Sir, yours obediently.

views of the imperial Government on the
-principleof an • antgoniem whoso mission' , is
active resistance to a. changeless foe; all is
injurious to Imperial influence everywhere,
and, however long it may have to wait, it
will-find its hour of retaliation at last. We
think ourselves no enemies of the Common
wealth by seeking to preserve it from such
trials as are shadowed forth in the state of
affairs just described."
The document further states that "the only
means of effectually tranquillizing Ireland is
by a restoration of her nationality;" that
"general legislation by the Parliament of
Great Britain will never be equal to the task
of teaching, cherishing, developing, and rais
ing Ireland;" and that "such a Pa rlianient will
never satisfy the yearnings of 'a whole people
whose interests and whose hearts combine
in the cry for nationality." They conclude
by stating:'
"Before the face of Ireland and the whole
world we make this declaration in the in
terests of heaven, earth, the present and the
future. With the thoughtful men who sway
the destinies of, these kingdoms we leave the
issue; but our own honor and conscience re
quire that we should tell the truth, and noth
ing but the truth, in the face of eventualities
of which a Christian clergy should not desire
to take the responsibility. We have dis
charged our duty, and on the statesman
ship of England now rests the deeply im
portant issue."
In the sitting of the Corps Legislatif, on the
30th of December the discussion commenced
on the part referring to the Garde Nationale
Mobile. Article 1-was adopted without dis
cussion. M. Desrotours brought forward an
amendment on the 2d article, demanding that
the sons of foreigners born in France should
be liable to the conscription. General Niel
spoke in reply. Articles , 2 and 3 were
adopted.-----M. -Berger--opposed-the-system-of
allowing substitutes in the Garde Nationale
Mobile. He proposed to send back the 4th
article to the Committee, to -be reconsidered:
M. Grenier, the reporter of the Committee,
agreed to this proposal. M. Picard asked
whether exemptions from service would be
allowed in the Garde Nationale Mobile. M.
Rouher replied that this question was subor
dinate to the solution of the question of sub
stitutes in the Garde National Mobile.
The 4th article was sent back to the Com
mittee.
In the sitting of the Corps Legislatif on the
11.1 st of December, M. Thiers criticized the
Army bill, especially that part of it which re
ferred to the organization of the National
Garde . Mobile. Marshal Niel replied. He
said that permanent armies were costly. The
National Guard are the armies of the future.
Article 5 was adopted by 210 votes against 44.
The Illoniteur of the 31st publishes a de
cree fixing at 292 the number of deputies to
be elected during the electoral period from
1867 to 1872. The Department of the Seine
has nine members to elect.
The Liberte learns from Rome "that the
Count de Sartiges has recently had a long
conversation with Cardinal Antonelli, and
explained to him that the good offices - of
France, in the opinion of the Emperor,would
produce no efficacious result for the Holy See
unless the latter should consent to immedi
ately introduce into the Roman legislation and
administration all the reforms already de
manded by France in 1860. 'ln that case
only,' the French Embassador is reported to
have said, 'some hope may be entertained of
an arrangement with the foreign Power's and
with public opinion in Europe in the interest
of a general and solemn guarantee of the tem
poral power.' According to our correspond
ent, Cardinal Antonelli replied that he could
not speak to the Holy Father about reforms
on so vast a scale before the re-establishment
of the frontiers of the Pontifical States in their
full integrity."
. "A. letter from Rome," says The Union,
"states that King Francis 11. has received at
the Farnese Palace a deputation of Neapoli
tans and Sicilians, who presented an address,
to which the King replied in very dignified
and significant language."
Another letter from Rome, of the 24th ult.,
Says:
"Gen. Kanzler, wearing the insignia of
Commander of the Order of Pius IX., and of
the Neapolitan Order of St. George, which
he received on account of the victory of Mon
tana, yesterday reviewed the garrison of
Home on the Piazza San Pietro, and distri
buted a certain number of decorations. When
the troops were filing off the Pope ap
peared at a window of the Vatican, and gave
his benediction to the soldiers. The Council
of State to-day granted a sum of 5,000 f., the
Propaganda a similar one and the Tribunal
of the Signature 500 f. to the subscription for
the Pontifical army. The young Duke de
Chevron, who, since the recent death of his
grandfather, has become Duke de Luynes,
and who served in the Zouaves up to the pe
riod of hie marriage, is said to have presented
12 pieces of cannon to the Pope.
--According to the-PresBe,it does not matter
how the new Italian Cabinet may be con
stituted, for "in a manner more or less vailed;
a policy contrary to maintenance of friendly
relations between the two countries will be
adopted; the Prussian alliance instead of the
French alliance will be taken; and there will
be war whenever M. Bismarck may wish to
undertake it—neither Ratazzi nor even Gari
baldi being disposed to let Italy rush alone on
the sword of France."
The opinions of the Preßsc on Italian
affairs attract attention, because they are be
lieved to be inspired from Rome.
The Emperor and the German Confect-
In the audience given to hint by the Empe
ror Napoleon on the 31st of December, Count
Von der G oltz, the newly-accredited represen
tative of the North German Confederation,
s toke as follows:
`'Called upon by the Federal Constitution
o represent the Confetleration in its interna;
tional relations, the King of Prussia eagerly
desires to maintain and develope More and
more the relations of good feeli»g and confi
dence between France and the Confederate
States. This desire is, at the same time,con
formable to the sentiments of sincere friend
ship which the King entertains toward your
Majesty's person, and the orders of the King
prescribe to me to fulfill my functions in that
spirit."
'The If.mperor replied:
"In notifying to me the new functions with
which you aro invested as the representative
of the , Gonfeoleration of the North, you renew,
the assurances of the friendship of the King
of Prussia. I thank you for it. On my part,
I embrace the opportunity with pleasure to
coil - I . '4m the gorid understanding existing be
tween the two Governments., I beg of you
to be the interpreterof my sentiments to the
King. Having been able to appreciate the
high qualities which distinguish you, I do
not doubt that you will continue as hereto
fore to exert all your efforts to maintain be
tween the two countries that friendly under
standing which is the illedge of their pros
perity and a guar,mtee of the peace of Eu

LETTER FROM CENERAL HANCOCK.
There watrreeelved at the headquarters ot the army
to -day, a copy of the letter addressed by Major-Gene ,
ralnancock to the Governor of Texas, who asks, for
reasons stated, that a military commission he ap
pointed to try-three persons for the crime of murder.
General Hancock, in reply, ef presses the opinion
that the existing government of Texas possesses all
the powers necessary for the proper and prompt trial
of the prisoners in question, in due course of law, and
eflyß :
It must be a matter of profotind regret to all who
value constitutional government, that there should be
occasions, In times of civil commotion, when the
public prod imperatively requires the intervention of
the mil- !ary power for the repression of disorders in
the bc, y politic. and for the punishment of offenses
against the existing laws of a Country, framed for the
preservation of social order; but that the Intervention
of this power should be cal:ed for, or even suggested,
by a civil magistrate, when the laws are no longer
efient, and civil magistrates are possessed, in their re
spective spheres, of all the powers necessary to give
effect to the laws, excites the surprise of the Com
mander of the Fifth Military District.
ILLICIT DIHTILLEP.IEB
Letters have been received at the Office of Internal
Revenue, dated Tullahoma, Alabama, January 6 and
11, from J. A Crawford, Revenue Indpector, and
Joseph Ramsey, Collector for the Third District of
that State, giving information in regard to the dan
ger experienced by them in attending to business re
garding illicit distMeries, and with particular allusion
to a case which bus bet recently occurred In that dis
trict, where a party, who was in arrears to the govern
ment for taxes due to the amount of $l,OOO, had
resisted the Inspector and Collector In making a dis
train upon him for the indebtedness. It appears that
after the distrain had been accomplished, and the
'Collector and Inspector had left the premises, they
were followed and attacked by the party who had been
dlstrained, accompanied by others, and that the In
spector was shot and wounded.
Other outrages were perpetrated, but It does not ap
pear from the correspondence that the offending par
ties have yet been molested, tither by the military or
civil process.
A letter from the Inspector; dated 11th inst., reports
that..since„..hla...belngl . Yvounded....saural.... illicit .dia—
tillerim were in oPerattbn • In : the Third District of
that State.
Information has also reached the Eepartinent of re
sistance made to revenue officers in the ,clischarge of
their duty in, suppresiing illicit distillerie's in the
neighborhood of Knoavilie, Tennessee.
Vigorous measures . have been stituted by the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue for the arrest
and punishment of the parties committing these
outrages. •
N Lth CONGRESS.-SECOND SESSION.
CONCLUSION. OF YK,TERDAY'S PROCKKDLNGS.
Senate.
The ETC dal order to prevent furtne> contraction of
the cuntncy was then taken up, and
Mr. brlLAt.l7l:remirned the floor. He considered a
judicious expansion desirable, MIL the circulation of
greenbacks, the fruitful source of speculation, had
gone far enough. The circulation of the national
banks was too much diffused to be available for the
credit of the government. The government was now
the greatest gold speculator of the times, and the Sec
retary of the Treasury the greatest depreciator of the
credit of the government. He condemned the with
holding from circulation of the gold in the Treasury,
sell generally the turning it into a banking institu
tion. The resources of the country should be made
available under the control of Con ,, ress or the govern
ment by the catablishment of sub an institution as
a United States Bank, and that would protect the in
terests of the government and the people. Instead of
being tributary to the moneyed interests, the latter
would .ben be their servant. Such a power only
could bring back a sound financial condition. - Then
teril 'upon Pro 0 . 1 Vide "Mid oine
securities would be possible.
Mr. BEILEXAti had desired to confine the discussion
to the question, namely: Whether further contrac
tion of the currency should be allowed. On this
question almost the unanimous opinion of the House
and Senate was that the discretionary power of the
Secretary of the Treasury should be repealed, he hav
ing withdrawn 8140.000.0 W in less than two years, in
cluding over $60,000,0(0 in United States notes. The
Finance Committee's amendment simply proposed to
take away that power.
Mr. Corirci.trio, of New York. moved to amend by
inserting after the word "reduced," the words "or
increased."
Mr. hit - tccen, of Magrachnntts, enggeeted that the
.Senator eubetttute the word "changed" instead of
•'increased."
CONELING bad no objection, but
Mr. SLIEMIAN said a difliculty might arise in regard
to the cancellation of notes.
Mr. Momos. of Indiana, thought they should con
tine themselie.s to the policy of the bill as It came from
the Mouse.
Mr. FE-Sr:int - IC, of Maine, supported Mr. Conkling's
amendment, as tending to satisfy the public mind that
no further inflation was intended.
Mr. SuERMAN opposed it as unnecessary, the Secre
tary of the Treasury having, under the law, no power
to ISSUe a dollar beyond the authorized reserve.
Mr. CATTEr.t., of New Jersey, asked whether the
amendments ‘conld not affect the power of the
Secretary of the Treasury to issue the authorized
reserve .
Mr. COKKI.ING replied in the ne , :ative. He intended
to offer a further amendment rcetricting Its applica
tion.
Mr. Morro:: said the amendment would be simply
an exprussiem of opinion.
Mr. Wri. , ox, of Massachusetts. thought such an ex
pression of opinion against further inflation was very
desirable, and condemned the wild schemes of expan
sion afloat among the speculators.
Mr. lizmignsos, of Missouri, asked what harm
would result from taking a five-twenty bond to the
Treasurer and exchanging them for greenbacks, and
putting thc-ni in sections where they were needed.
Mr. WasoN was inflexibly opposed to extending the
circulation of greenbacks. lie argued that if business
men were to be assured there was no more contrac
tions, why not also assure them there was to be no
more expansion?
Referring to a remark of Mr. Wilson, Mr. OiNNEss,
of California, asked whether the Senator was in favor
of taxing bondholders. In accordance with the cry re
cently raised on the subject.
Mr. WIL, , ON condemned the outcry raised, he said,
by men who had opposed the war, and whose policy
he loathed and abhorred. lie was nevertheless in fa
vor of ultimately consolidating the various loans into
a form where they could be taxed. He denied that
- the country was going -to - ruin,=politically 1111:111- -
cMily, as claimed by the Senator from Rhode island
(Mr. Sprague.) ,
Mr. Ceissnoti, of Pennsylvania, thought the chief
thing to be done was to satisfy the country that they
-would- do- nothing. - The people wanted- a settled
policy. The currency question should be kept out of
politica. Let the expenses of the army and navy and
the civil list be reduced, and avoid revenue frauds by
appointing honest collectors, and doing away with
the detectives, whom they had never had in olden
times. He favored the bill without amendment,
because it left the question to the people themselves.
Mr. CONKLIN° said the bill would be unimportant
if it meant no more than was expressed on its face.
For weeks, perhaps months, there had been no con
traction; and the Secretary had pledged hiniself that
without their action there would be none.
-
He modified his amendment by providing that
nothing herein contained shall affect the power of the
Secretary of the Treasury to maintain the reserve au
thorized by the fourth section of the act of June 30,
1864, and in order, he said, to divest it of all ques
tion as to legal construction. The question of
finance, he thought, was to be in the future—he was
about to say the question of government. Ho looked
for the relief of the country by a new era of retrench
ment, of lessened taxation, except on certain articles,
from which it should never fall. It could never come
from the proposed expansion of the paper currency.
Mr. DOOLITTLE, of Wisconsin, denied that any in
ference could be drawn from the fact that these
amendments had been voted down by the Senate that,
therefore, it was in favor of expansion. The bill was
simply to repeal a law allowing the Secretary of the
Treasury to contract at a certain date. .
Mr. 'MORTON took the same view. Their purpose
was not to permit the Secretary of the Treasury to ex
ercise his own judgment in regard to further contrac
tion, but to settle a fixed policy for the future.
Mr. EDMUNDS, of Vermont, pointed to the neces
sary connection between the questions of contraction
and expansion, and to the fact that the question was
involved whether the Secretary of the Treasury should
be allowed, in his discretion, to issue the 850,000,000
of the authorized reserve to meet the temoorary lia
bilities in addition to the amount of authorized issue
to replace canceled notes. He quoted from the law to
show that the Secretary of the Treasury has power to
expand until the amount of circulation amounts to
$.150, 00,000.
Mr. SHERMAN denied the correctness of the Sena
tor's construction of the law, andlclaimed that the
Secretary of the Treasury could .not reissue notes to
replace - the canceled notes.
Mr. CONKLING, of New York, quoted froth the act
of 1663 to sho thatthe Secretary of the Treasury had
such power, and could cointeend to the lips' of the Sen
ator the chalice they had offered to others in regard to
the discretionary power of that officer, referring to
a rise in the gold market" of 10 per cent.
' Mr. BENDER:ON asked whether when this bill was
Massed in the House gold had not fallen from 41 to :13.
Mr. CONRLING said there went out with the bill a
declaration that it would never pass the Senate.
. Mr. COLE, of California, said he had received letters
at that time from prominent gentlemen hoping that the
Senate would protect them from the inflation policy.
Mr. ComKunc hoped that their mayors would not
be denied, and in reply to a repetition by Mr. Sher
man of the point referred to by Mr. Henderson. said
at that time the January interest in gold was about
to be paid, that and otber circuinstances bad Corn
hived to produce that 'result. lie spoke further in
oppesition to the bill, when a motion to adjourn was
tort. Yeas, 20: nays, 25.
Mr. lisrirrEnsoN admitted that, in his opinion, the
views of the Senator from Vermont, (51r. ,gdmands.)
that the Secretary of the Treasury had power to in
creare the paper currency up to ,lIPJ,OOO, 000, were cor
rect, otherwise he ,would go tor giving him that
power. Ile argued that an increa , ed amount of cur
rency was needed for the bualnes a of the country, and
that not above $10,0:M,000 had for years regulated the
price of gold in the New York market.
Several members desiring the Senator to yield to a
motion to adjourn:Alive o'clock, he declined, saying
that he was very much interested in what ha was about
to ray. [Laughterd After speaking about ten min
utes Burlier, he said he would yield to a vote, but not
to a motion to adjourn. [Cries of "Vote," "Vote."l
Mr. EDMUNDS 'made a few remarks in reply to a
charge by Mr. Etherman that gold had risen because of
his amendment.
Ile gave way ton motion by Mr. Cameron to ad
journ, on which
Mr. BUSMAN called the yeas and nays, and the mo
tion wan lost.
Mr. EDMUNDS continued arguing that no additional
prom's& to pay should be issued until the. country
showed ability to pay the present amount.
Mr. CATTELL, of New Jersey, would vote against the
amendment, because he did not wish that the bill
should be embarrassed, but would vote for any hill to
the same purpose introduced by the Judiciary Com
mittee, if they considered it necessary, in order to pre
vent expansion.
Mr. PATTERSON. of New Hampshire, gave his rea
sons at some length for voting against the bill without
the proposed ainendment which, he said, could do no
harm, even if not necessary.
Atter a few remarks by Mr. Eff:NDEESON, the amend
ment was lost. 15 to .23.
The amendment of the committee was then
agreed to, and the hill passed by the following vote:
YeaB--Anthony, Buckalew, Cameron, eaten, Cole,
Cragln, Doolittle. Drake, Fowler, Frelinghuyeen, Har
lan. Henderson, Hendricks, Howard, Howe, Morrill of
Maine, Morton, Norton, Nye, Patterson of Tennessee,
Pomeroy, Ramsey, Ross, Sherman, Stewart, Thayer,
Tipton, Trumbull, Wade, Willey, Williams, Wilson,
and Yates—al
Nays—Conkling, Ferry, Morgan, and Patterson-4.
Mr. (kAbitt had paired off with Stewart; Edmunds,
Johnson, and Fessenden, with Grimes, Van Winkle,
and Morrill of Vtrment.
The Senate then adjourned at 6:25
.Ifouso of Representatives.
The Bonne then resumed the consideration of the
reconstruction bill..
Mr..Woon. of .N.eiteNork._ ithet..was_:entitled..tcathe.
- floor, yielded a few minutes to • • •
Mr. Nicifoison, of Delaware. who expressed briefly
his condemnation of the proposed measure, and had
read by the Clerk the extract of a letter bearing on the
constitutional powers of Congress from Governeur
Norrie!to Timothy Pickens.
Mr. Wool) then took the floor and addressed the
Douse In opposition to the bill. In his judgment the
present movement was the crisis of the country, and
It required very little more to involve the country in
national disaster and annihilation. Since last Mon
day what had ;the country seen? An attempt to lay
sacriligeons hands on the Supreme Colirt of the United
States, which had hitherto remained free
from political mutilations. By a little further
advance in carrying out the principle of the judiciary
bill. Congress might dictate that the Supreme Court
could not decide against any act of Congress. There
had been three other propositions made, any one of
which was calculated to alarm the people. The liret
of these was a proposition to degrade and disgrace
one of the most illustrious; oglocers,of the army.
Mr. Wood proceeded, and 'enunierate,d as number
three, the unprecedented and remarkable transactions
which had occurred in the Executive departments.
In that connection, he said that without -the consent
of the President. and in violation of an implied pledge
on the part of the incumbent of the War Office, Mr.
Stanton had been thrust back by the Senate Into the
position from which he had been displaced.
The fourth measure was the bill under considera•
Lion, a bill without a title ; a child without a mime,
and probably without a father; a monstrosity; a meas
ure the most infamous of the many infamous acts of
this infamous Congress.
Mr. BING itAm made a question of order on the last
expression of Mr. Wood.
The SPEtKER required the words excepted to be
taken down.
The expression was written out by the Glche re
porter and read from the Clerk's desk.
Tbe. Words _hayingbeen.-read,..Mr_.Rosa.nugaeated.
jocularly that he would use the words " so-called."
[Laughter.]
The SPEAKER. ruled that the expression excepted to
was not in order, and had read by the Clerk the sixty
first rule of the House, to the effect that if, when a
member is called to order, the deelsiori be iu his
favor, he shall be at liberty to, proceed; if otherwise,
be ehall not be permitted to proceed, in case any
member object, without leave of the House. The
Speaker said that the gentleman from New York had
the right to proceed if no member objected.
Mr. Ilinanaml object to his proceeding at all,
unless he takes back those words and makes an
apology.
Many others on the Republican side—" That is
right.'
The SPEAKER then informed Mr. Wood that if he
desired to explain, he had opportunity to do so. '
Mr. Wool) rose and eaid., Mr. Speaker, I have no
explanation to give.
The SPEAKER—Then the gentleman can only pro
ceed with his remarks by consent of the House.
The SPEAEBR put the question whether the gentle
man from„New York should be allowed to proceed,
and there was an emphatic no.
Mr. ELDRIDGE Called for the yeas and mays.
The question was taken by yeas and nays, and re
sulted—yeas nays 1O 4.
fio Mr. Wood was not allowed to proceed.
VOTE OP CEN6I'RE..
Mr. DANVZS then moved the following:
L'ero/rid, That Fernando Wood, a member of this
House from the State of New York, having used in
debate upon the floor of the House the following
words: "A monstrosity—a measure the most infa
mous of the many infamous acts of this infamous
Connrcss," deserves, therefore, the censure of this
House, and the Speaker 15 hereby directed forthwith
to pronounce that censure at the bar of the House.
hl r. ELDRIIAM moved to lay the resolution on the
table. Negatived.
The previous question was seconded, and the ilonee
proceeded to vote by yeas and nays on the adoption of
the resolution.
The vote resulted yeas 114, nays 33, a strict party
vote.
So the resolution was adopted, and the Speaker, in
accordance with it, proceeded to administer a censare
to Mr. Wood.
A member inquired whether Mr. Wood, having paid
hie Denalty,was not entitled to the balance of hie hour.
The EPEAKED replied that the House had decided
otherwise.
Mr. WOOD said that he would like the House to
permit him to finish his remarks. [Derisive laughter
from the Republican side.]
The SPEAKER said that could only li‘e`dgne by a re
consideration of the vote refusing to permit the gen
tleman to proceed.
Mr. Woob--1 shall finish them before the country.
Mr. Doren, of Pennsylvania, moved that the gem
tlemaufrom liew - York - sho uld have = leave - to - prhattds7
remarks.
The SPEAKER said that would require unanimous
consent, but unanimous objection came from the Re
publican side of the Rouse.
Mr. BECK, of thetwo minority members of the -Re—
construction Committee, took the floor and proceeded
to argue against the bill. He could understand the
position taken by the gentleman from Pennsylvania
(Mr. Stevens), that the reconstruction acts were en
tirely outside of the Constitution but he could not un
derstand the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Bingham), in
announcing that in supporting the bill he was acting
in accordance with the Constitution. It was mon
strous to bold, as bad been argued, that because Con
gress might reduce the number of
: judges to three, it
could also dictate to thateourt how it was to decide a
constitutional or other question. De read an extract
from an argument of Mr. Bingham's before the assas
sination military commission, to prove some incon
sistency between it and his present position.
Mr. BmOUAM declared that what he said on that oc
casion was quite consistent with his present position.
Mr. BECK said he had read part of the gentleman's
argument.
Mr. BINGHAM declared that the language imputed
to him was not in the argument, in the connection
in which the gentleman from Kentucky was using it.
Mr. BEcn--I say it was in the speech, and I have
read from the speech.
Mr. WOOD made the point of order that Mr. Bingham
had used nnparliamentary language, and had charged
the gentleman from Kentucky with falsehood.
The Speaker pro tem. , Mr. litrusurer, of New York,
in the chair, overruled the point of order.
Mr. BECK remarked that he should have answered
in very different language if such a charge bad been
made, and continued his argument against the bill as
an utterly unconstitutional measure, and he com
mended to the Republican side of the House the great
principles on which the Democratic party planted
itself. They had hitherto remained free from politi
cal mutilations. By a little farther advance in carry
ing out the principle of the Judiciary bill, Congress
might declare that the Supreme Court could not de
cide against any act of Congress.
Mr. FARNSWORTH, of Illinols, , addressed the House
hi support of the bill.. That bill was to secure per
sonal liberty, freedom of speech, freedom of the press
and freedom of person and fair trial by jury. No
part of the bill antagonized with those constitutional
principles of which the House bad heard so much.
The gentleman from New. York (Mr. Wood) had
spoken to-day atm onslaught op a gallant officer who
has and had some respect for the civil power. General
'Hancock, ho regreted to say, was the idol of the die
loyal, the rebel, the traitor, the enemy of his govern
ment in that department; and whoever commended
himself to the affections of the rebel, element.there
commended himself equally to the affection of their
rebel brethren on this floor.
Mr. Murmur, of Ohio, rising to a question of order,
excepted to the words "rebel brethren on this floor ."-
The Srzmizu decided that these words were not
proper to be used in reference to members of the
House.
Mr. litiminst remarked that be wanted this thing
understood, for he had had enough of it.
The SPEAKER stated that the words had been de : -
cided to be nut of order.
Mr. Mitnostit required the wordstto be rewritten
THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN.--PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 16, 1868.
down by the reporter and read from the Clerk's
etsk.
That having been done, the anzmitn repeated his
ectsiml that it was not proper to allude to members
of the House as rebels. The gentleman from Illinois
would proceed in order, unless some member eh
j eetcd.
Mr. MUNOEN objected, stating that ho c.estred to
otter a resolution of censure.
- - -
Mr. FARNSWORTH desired to make an explanation.
Mr. Mtruoau did not want to accept any explana
tion: Laughter.]
The firgiatert put the ouestion whether the gentle
men from Illinois should be permitted to explain, and
it was decided affirmatively.
Mr. Fenusworrn said—l did not intend to make
any personal application of those words. [Laughter
on the Dumocratlc-side.r I am very sorry that gentle
men should have applied them to themselves. I will
withdraw their personal application by leaving out the
words "on this floor."
Er. Ross. of Illinois, remarked that if his col
league intended them for the Republican side of the
Ilouee,there was no objection in his doing so. [Laugh
ter.]
Mr. BouTwm.i., of Massachusetts, moved that Mr.
Farnsworth should have liberty to conclude his re
marks in order.
Mr. MUNGEN declared that, in his opinion, the
apology was worse than the insult. [Laughter]
lie added that he had done more to put down the re
bellion than the gentleman from Illinois had ever
done.
The question was taken on Mr. Boutweirs motion
and it was agreed to.
Mr. MunnEN, as a question of privilege, offered a
resolution that the gentleman from Illinois (Mr.Farns
worth) be reprimanded by the Speaker for using the
words that had been excepted to.,
Mr..Woon expressed the hope that he should enjoy
'the sole honor of censure, and that the gentleman
from Illinois should escape.
Mr. limns, of Massachusetts, moved to lay the
resolution on the table.
That motion was agreed to without a division, only
seven members sustaining a demand for the yeas - and
nays.
Mr. FARNSWORTII, resuming the floor, said: In ad
dition to ivbat I have said in relation to the officer in
command at New Orleans, Iwish to saLthis much. I
have based the remarks I have made reference to
him on information in my possession—on letters and
other facts that have come to my attention.
Mr. RANDALL-4 do not think myself that the Gen•
old Is a oapperhead, but I do object to the use the
gentleman makes of a private conversation. I do
not gainsay but that General Thulcock is not a copper
head.
Mr. GETZ, of Pennsylvania--I ask the gentleman
from Illinois whether be thinks that General Han
cock lute proved himself a copperhead from the simple
„fact,that.he-h00,,P ed
rOclaiM.triat,.,.the
supreme in his department? •
Mr. Fannsworern--The order of General Hancock
with reference to the civil authorities tilled me with
very great surprise [and alarm. It certainly is stir-.
prising, that a subordinate officer, sent to the command
of a district, should set at defiance an act of Congress
tinder which he went there, and set above this the law
of a bo.ms government which that act of Congress had
declared illegal.
Mr. PAINE, of Wisconsin, obtained the floor, but
yielded for a motion for adjournment.
Mr. BuTLEu gave notice of an amendment author
izing the several constitutional State conventions in
the late it surrectionary States to appoint all civil offi
cers heretofore provided for by the laws of such States;
making it the duty of the several district commanders
'o confirm such appointments and install such per
!9,,119. in office, and providing that such State officers
shall continue in-office until the States are admitted
into the Union, and other State officers appointed and
qualified.
Mr. O'NEILL, of Pennsylvania, introduced a bill to
change the name of the American Colonization So
ciety's ship Golconda to that of the Mary Caroline .
St, acne. Referred to the Committee on Commerce.
Mr. O'Nkrur. offered a resolution directing, the Sec
retary of the Treasury to communicate the report of
the commission for examing into life-saving air
p mans, which held its sittings in New York, in 1867.
Adopted.
The SPEAKER presented a communication from the
Secretary of the Treasury, with a draft of a bill to an
hr:rize the coinage of tive cent , nickel p , eces in New
Orleans. Referred to the Committee on Coinage.
The House at five aclock adjourned.
