AN OBIGJIMAL POEM BY. ILILILECII.
A FAItEIVELL TO COIiNEi,'TICUT.
,
I turned a last look to my dear native mountain,
As the dim blush of sunset grew pale in the
sky;
All was still; save the music that leapt from the
fountain,
And the wave of the woods to the summer
wind's sigh.
Far around, the gray mist of the twilight was
stealing,
And. the tints of the landseape had faded In
blue,
Ere my pale lips could murmur the accents of
feeling,
As it bade the fond scenes of my childhood
adieu.
Oh! mock not that pang, for my heart was re-
tracing
Past visions of happiness, sparkling and clear;
My heart was still warm with a mother's •em
bracing,
My cheek was still wet with a fond sister's
tear.
Like an infant's first slcep on the lap of its
mother,
Were the days of my childhood—those days are
no more:
And my sorrow's deep throb I had struggled to
smother
Was that infant's wild cry when its first sleep
was o'er.
Years have gone by, and remembrance now
covers,
With the tinge of the moonbeam, the thoughts
of that hour!
Yet, still in his day-dream the wanderer hovers
'Round the cottage he left, and its green woven
bower. 7
And Hope lingers near him, her wildest song
breathing,
And points to a future day, distant and dirt, •
When the linger of sunset, its eglantine weav
ing,
Shall brighten the home of his childhood for
him.

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND FE.
IVIANISRL
The Catholic ,Standarcl of this city, un
derstood to be the organ of the Bishop of
Philadelphia, contains, this week, the follow
ing leading article:
The Right of Revolution.
In times of great excitement' it too fre
quently happens that principles well known,
and clearly tuiderstood under ordinary cir
cumstances, are lost sight of, and even, occa
sionally, hastily condemned. And there are
no principles of which this is so often true,
as those which determine the Catholic doc
trine on the right of Revolution. We beg
leave, then, briefly to state what is the teach
ing of Catholic Theologians on this subject,
not, indeed, to tell our readers anything new,
but to remind them of what some may be in
danger of forgetting.
All Catholic Di Ines teach that tyranny
on the part of a gernment, when carried to
such an extent as to be insupportable, does,
under certain circumstances, justify armed
rebellion. It is only. amongst Protestant
writers tbat we find defenders of the doctrine
that the kingly power is given by God di
rectly to the Sovereign,
and cannot be for
feited by him no matter how unbearable his
tyranny. This right of revolution becomes
clearer still, when the tyrant originally had
no just title to power. But, to render lawful
an attempt at an armed uprising against even
a tyrant, another condition is required,
namely, that there be at least a probability
of success. Otherwise, the attempt would
be madness, and could result only in un
necessary loss of life, which is never justi
fiable. This is the universal teaching of
Catholic theology, laid down by St. Thomas,
inculcated by Suarez, and received from
them by every Catholic writer who has
treated of the subject.
According to the celebrated Bianchi,whose
writings have merited the special favor of the
Holy See, the early Christians had the right
to revolt against the persecuting Emperors,
who were denying them the most precious of
all rights, true liberty of conscience, allowed
to them by the constitution of the Empire, as
well as guaranteed by the law of nature.
But, as they were deprived of the means of
successful' resistance, they patiently yielded
to brute force, and languished in prison, and
died without a murmur, for the faith of
Christ. Indeed, but too often practical duty
is determined by the arbitrament of brute
force. Principles are eternal, and do not
change with the changing circumstances
of worldly things; but, in practice, we
often have to submit patiently
.to injustice
and tyranny. We are never required to do
anything that would involve a recognition of
the right of the tyrant or usurper ; but we
may have practically to acquiesce in bearing
an evil and heavy yoke, which we cannot
throw oft
It is for this reason that the Catholic clergy
of Ireland has constantly set its face against
Fenianism. Not that it believes the English
usurpation in Ireland to be now, or to have
ever been, a legitimate government; not that
it does not believe that, even had it ever been
a legitimate government, its shameless op
pression of centuries, its persistent mainte
nance of outrageous grievances, would not
give just cause for rebellion; but, that it
knew that there was no chance of success,
especially with the means Fenianism had at its
disposal. And the heart of the priests yearned
l i;
for, th it people, and they implored the
young en of their flocks not to engage in
mad ente rises which could be productive of
• much ev* -and of no good. Experience-has
proved th t the priests were right. The want
of propor 911 of the means employed by the
Fenians to the - end they claimed to have in
view would be ridiculous,had it not produced
such fatal consequences. Feniamsm has
filled British gaols with prisoners, it has fur
nished victims to English scaffolds; what else
has it accomplished? It has furnished some
lazy loafers with a better support than they
ever bad before, and than, we hope, they
Will ever havy again; this is the sum total of
its record.
Fenianism cannot free Ireland. Its lead
ers are not to be trusted. One of them,
Oldaliony, was at least half crazy. If we
are to believe what the leaders of the two
contending fadtions say of their opponents,
they are all a pack of rogues, ready to betray
their country for English gold, and the hang
ing of whom ought to be the first act of an
Irish government, if one were ever to be
established. Many unprejudiced, disinterested
men believe that James Stephens was all
alongin the pay of the British Government.
Certain it is, at all events, that the English
Minister at Washington was kept regularly
informed of the most secret plans of the con-
spirators. In • one word, the whole move
ment was so badly managed that we are
forced•to the conclusiou that the leaders were
either fools or knaves. In either case, they
are not to be trusted.
,But, even were they honest and capable,
they could not have succeeded. An expedi
:lion from the United States to Ireland is a
mere chimera. it could never succeed. Der
inthe late civil war, our GoVernment had
undisputed control of the sea. Yet our
Southern expeditious were always fraught
with:danger, and our gallant sailors breathed
more freely when they had succeeded inland
irg the troops salely at their destination.
' What, then, could be the chances of an el(-
' pedition to the distant shores of Ireland,
guarded as they would be jealously and eine
tually by the English navy? As for raids on
Canada, they are unjustifiable, and had the
Fenians ever got into• the country, they would
have been met by reginients of loyal Catholic
Irishmen. We need not say that blowing up
prisons by way of liberating the prisoners,
using Greek fire against witnesses in a court
of justice, or even attempting to get posses
sion of the person of Queen Victoria, will not
conduce to the liberation of Ireland. In short,
the Fenians have not the means of freeing
Ireland, on any of the plans they have hith
erto proposed.
For this reason we are opposed to the or
ganization. It has been a blunder from the
beginning. It assumed an air of secresy,
which made good men suspect it, while it
was not able to conceal its plans from its
enemies. It has received large sums of
money, chiefly the contributions of the poor,
for which it has never accounted. ,Rash in
pushing its victims into danger, it is helpless
to aid them, when they are most sorely in
need of aid. In a word it is certainly a blun
der, and, on the part of more than one leader,
we Sear, a crime. ' The rank and file have
shown patriotism, courage and even heroism;
the leaders a remarkable regard for the condi
tion of their purses, and the safety of their
cuticles.
We may be told that Fenianism has
stricken fear into English statesmen, and
drawn the attention of the civilized world
to English misrule in Ireland. And we do
not wish to deny that it has contributed to
these results, over which no one can rejoice
more than we. But, we remark that they
are due not so much to Fenianism and its
followers, as to the sympathy of all Irish
men for the patriotism, which doubtless
animated the poor men whom the leaders
sent into danger. The existence of this
sympathy so wide-spread and universal has
alarmed England,
,and.met with. a corres
ponding feeling in Europe and America.
How many Irishmen, for example, sympa
thize. with Allen, Gould and Larkin, who
will have nothing to do with Fenianism ?
Besides, Fenianism will find its own death
in the reforms. proposed by the English gov
ernment, if they are carried out thoroughly
and in good faith. We venture to say that if
England commences to govern Ireland as
she governs Scotland, Fenianism will die of
inanition. From our stand-point, weiwould
prefer independence; but we believe that the
majority of the people in Ireland will be sat
isfied with good government.
We protest, then, against confounding this
abortion with Irish patriotism. We detest
and abhor British rule in Ireland just as
much as the hottest Fenian; but mere feeling
never made a successful revolution. When
it may be possible to strike a successful blow,
in the name of God let all Irishmen join
hands and strike it; until that day comes, let
us, as O'Connell taught, strive by peaceful.
means to better the condition of our poor,
badly governed, often starving countrymen.
This were a work of real patriotism, better
than empty vaporings and foolish boasts that
can never be made good.
EUROPEAN AFFAIRS.
ENGLAND AND ADIERICA.
British View of the Congressional Die.
cussion in Regard to the Rights of
.1% atural ized Citizens.
[From the London Times, Jan, 8.3
The United States Congress is already acting
upon the President's suggestion, and the liabili
ties of naturalized citizens must soon become the
subject of serious negotiation. We cannot be
surprised, and we ought not to be offended,at the
keen interest manifested by the Americans in
the principle which, as they suppose, is at stake.
The whole number of foreign-born citizens
naturalized in the United States has been esti
mated to exceed four millions, at least half of
whom are immigrants from British territories, and
more than one-third from Ireland alone. If the
strict theory of perpetual allegiance were en
forced, any of these Irish Americans who might
serve against Great Britain in the armies of the
United States would be guilty of treason against
his lawful Sovereign, and, if captured, might be
punished accordingly. Of course the law would
never in practice be carried to this length, but a
nation so largely composed of foreign elements
must naturally rebel against a rule which, if ap
plied, would produce such consequences. Mr.
Sumner, however, went too far when he main
tained that it is peculiar to English jurispru
dence and is not recognized in the United
States. On the contrary, though disputed in one
case by the American Secretary, it has been ad
mitted, we believe, by all American judges and
jurists of repute, down to General Halleck. Mr.
Justice Story himself, though he points out that
no State can give an extra territorial operation
to its laws by requiring another State to execute
them, carelully abstains from denying its right
over natural born subjects returning within its
own jurisdiction. Re elsewhere affirms this right
in express and unqualified language. Nor is this
all; for the same eminent authority negatives, as
if by anticipation, the untenable notion that
American legislation can affect the .=mhos of nat
ural born British subjects, or any other persons,
in an English court. If our common law cannot
govern the rights and liabilities of native Irish
men so long as they reside in America, it is
efinally certain that no American law can govern
those rights and liabilities when they return to
Ireland. • Such matters are exclusively-within the
province of municipal enactment, and it so hap-'
pens that, whatever conflict may exist between
the interests of the two countries, there is here
no conflict between their respective codes. On
the other hand, some misapprehension seems to
prevail in America as to the nature of the charges
upon which American Fenians have been tried in
Ireland. We have not the indictments or a de
tailed report of the proceedings actually before
us, and are not, therefore, in a condition to prove
a giegative; but we are not aware that any pri
tater now under sentence was tried for treasona
ble acts committed in the United States. * * *
but the less ambiguous the existing law is, the
stronger, are the arguments for Its revlaion, and
we cannot but regret that more than 60 years
have elapsed since the. Peace of Ghent without•
an effort to place it on a more satisfactory foot
ing. It is not, indeed, correct to identify the
issue now raised with that which led to the war
of 1812, for Great Britain then insisted not
only on the indefeasible allegiance of her sub
jects, but on her right to visit and search Ameri
can ships for the purpose of impressing them.
Still, the conclusion of that war afforded a good
opportunity of limiting once for all the privi
leges and duties of allegiance, Upon grounds of
international policy, it is highly expedient that
what ought to have been done in 1814 should be
done now, before new diffleultietil arise. Should
anY overture have been made with that object by
the American Government, we trust it has been
favorably entertained by Lord Stanley; and if no
such overture has been made, we trust Lord
Stanley will take the initiative in proposing'a
basis of settlement.
Night Fete in the Bois de Boulogne
(Paris Correspondence London Deily Newej
The night Pc on the ice in the Bois de
Boulogne came on with great eclat. The
place chosen by the Skating Club was the
shallow lake made expressly for them, near
the Madrid cricket ground. Ten thousand
"jets" of electrical light, many of them
grouped in the form of garlands and bouquets,
and a thousand Chinese lanterns suspended to _
the branches' - of trees, put - out the moon;'
which was, moreclver, frequently dimmed by
snow clouds. The environs of ,the club's
Swiss chalet were paved with soft cocoanut
matting, and every luxurious appliance for
passing an evening in defiance of the cold
was provided within. Ladies in great num
bers, reclining in fur-lined sledges, were
pushed about by their cavaliers. But *no
small proportiopmf the fair sex preferred to
put on skates, and dart about, rivaling the
most expert of the men. Thousands of the
meaner sort, not provided with tickets of ad
mission,thronged the borders of the lake, and
mingled with the splendid equipages of the
members of the club. Theft*, which began
as early as 8 o'clock, was not prolonged be-

yond midnight. Contrary to very general
expectation ' • the Emperor and Empress were
not there. In consequence of the slippery
state of the roads, < the company did not
arrive till some time after they had
calculated to be on the sPot. The band of
the Twenty-fourth regiment, which was punc
tual, played its first tunes to a few auditors.
By ten o'clock, however, there was a good
show of the fashioriable world. I cite as
specimen names the Princess de Metternich,
the Duchess de Morny, the Marquise de Ga
ntlet, Countess Paul Demidoff, Madame San
vase (sister-in-law of • the Duke of Montes
quicu), Madame Pourtales, Princess Ghiga,
Princess de Sagan, Duchess de San •Cesario,
Duchess de Fernand Niunez, Countess de
Bastard, Viscountess Aguado, Djemil Pa'!ha,
M. de Saint Priest, the manager of the file,
Prince Murat, and the husbands of most of
the married ladies above-mentioned.
A fire occurred last night at ono of the
most unlikely places for such an event—the
ice-house in the Bois de Boulogne. It is not
related that the ice in it was burned; but ow
ing to the frost, which caused a delay in get
ting water for the engines, one section of the
range of buildings was entirely consumed and'
another much damaged. Ultimately a long
"chain" of volunteers was formed between
the building and the Passy artesian well,
which furnished an abundant supply of water,
and the flames were extinguished.
Mr. Bright lon Tory Reformers.
In a recent speech Mr. John Bright ani
madverted on the inconsistency of tories, and
especially of tory lawyers, in supporting Lord
Derby's and Mr. D'lsraeli's reform bill. He
said :
"During that session of 1866 it is impossi
ble in language which would not be exag
gerated, unfair, and even insultingito describe
the eager and howling rage which they ex
hibited against the unfortunate proposal of a
seven-pound franchise. Their bitterness and
malice against the bill would have been
scarcely justified if the bill had been so bad
as they declared it to be. Their conduct in
the pursuit of office reminds me of some lines
which were published a good many years
ago, which never had a more exact applica
tion than when they describe the course of
the tory party last year. The poet in the
Rejected Addresses says :
"So when 'Dogs' meat' re-echoes through the
street,
Rush sympathetic dogs from their retreat,
Beam with bright blaze their supplicating eyes,
Sink their hind legs, ascend their joyful cries/
Then, wild with hope, or maddening to prevail,
Points the quick ear and wags expectant tail."
[Loud Laughter.] Just so the gentlemen of
the front opposition benches, and such of
them behind who thotight that there was
something to be had. Especially, and above
all, the lawyers, who have since been gorged
with patronage, and for the sake of that pa
tronage and plunder, which, in India, is
called loot, formed a combination to over
throw the bill of 1866. To place themselves
in office and keep themselves there they con
sented to pass a bill infinitely worse on ail
the points for which they condemned the
bill of 1866, and I venture to say their con
duct on this occasion leads to the conclusion
that there is scarcely any institution of the
country, however honorable and ancient, that
they would not sell for the permanent posses
sion of office." [Cheers.]
Mr. Bright has probably added to the
stock of Parliamentary and Congressional
quotations, .
The Cove of Providence.
It has been proposed to fill up the "Cove,"
at Providence, and the proposition has
been referred to a committee of Rhode
Island law-makers. The Providence Jour
nal Says:
"It is needless to tell us what the cove basin
now is, though even in its present condition
there can be no doubt of its immense sani
tary advantages. We think of it, however,
in the vastly improved condition of which it is
capable, of what it would be were the mis
takes that have been made about it all cor
rected,were its inherent capacities fully devel
oped, and the beauties that belong to it care
fully cultivated and brought to view. With it,
we have a tide from the sea coming twice
every day to the heart of the city to meet the
streams that run into it from the interior
of the country, bringing, at the same time,
both clean water and pure air, and also keep
ing open, both for use and for health, the
channels of the harbor below the bridge.
Without it we should have a vast and sandy,
plain covered with houses and streets, to
which neither breezes nor water from the sea
would ever come, and under which, in such
narrow sewers as might be devised, the two
rivers from the north, the Mooshassuck and
the Wanusquetucket, would be compelled to
find a dubious and easily obstructed passage
to the harbor below. The harbor itself, too,
would soon find its northern limits far below
where they now are,-and Water street would
inevitably become a street remote from any
navigable water."

'This bill having passed both houses, was sent to
the President to-day for his approval. The following
la a Correct copy thereof :
Be it enacted by the Senate and house of Repreeen
..tativee of the United States of America in Congress
assembled, That from and after the passage of this
act the authority of the Secretary 'of , the Treasury to
make any reduction of the currency. by retiring or

The Armstrong Foundery case, pending in the ',Su
preme Court, is very much contested. Armstrong
was the prciprietor of a foundery in Now Orleans, and
manufattured shot and shell for the Confederacy at
the time that General Lovell wall in command of that
•city. Armstrong took the oath of allegiance after
New Orleans was captured, and, continued working
his foundery, which was subsequently seized and con
demned. The present case is an appeal from the
judgment of the United States Circuit Court for the
Eastern District of Louisiana.
First. A few days ago Attorney-General Stanberry
moved to dismiss the appeal, insisting that the case
should be heard on a writ of error, the motion was
overruled.
Second. Armstrong moved to file a plea of pardon,
which the Attorney- General resisted. Leave was
given after argument to Ale the plea, so that the case
will now be heard on the merits, and will come up
neat week. The Attorney-General represents the
United States, and lion. Ilumphrey Marshall, of Ken
tucky, appears for Artaitrong.
The case is considered one which must decide the
points:
First. Whether a seizure and capture are the same.
Second. Whether property liable to capture and
prize embraces land held by private title.
Third. Whether property tainted by the guilty con
sent of the owner is relieved by his pardon after con
demnation and before sale.
Fourth. Whether. the • citizen 'shut up In a place
occupied by Confederate arrne can be responsible to
the United States for breath of manic pal law under
command of the military force of the Confederatee.
Fifth. Whether the Constitution operates with its
guarantees upon him when the United States recover
the city.

The Secretary of the Navy, In view of the contem
plate° reduction of the naval and marine force in ac
cordance with bill now , before Congress and the reso
lutioh lately passed by the House of Representatives,
that it is unnecessary to proceed farther at present in
building or equipping'ships-of war, to-day sent
a letter to the Speaker revising and re
ducing the estimates submittted, by him to Congress ,
.ond retaining only such as were deemed essential to
the proper preservation of the property of the govern
ment. Only those appropriations are now asked
which arc indispensable, and withont which the ser
vice would be seriously crippled. The Secretary says
In his communication that the importance of placing
- the navy-yards in a condition to meet any emergency
that may hereafter arise,. has been brought to the
attention of Congress in his annual reports, and in his
estimates submitted therewith, appropriations have
been asked to place them in proper condition. As
Congress has shown a disposition, however, to post -
pone to a future day the improvements of our navy
yards, he submits the revised estimates as what are ab
solutely necessary. The estimates submitted with
the last annual report of the Secretary, amounted to
$47_317,1819u; the revised estimates to $24,921.01-
4J3, a reduction of 822,392,705.92, or about one-half.
POSTAL ABRk.IGEMENT

Mr. CATTZLL, from the committee of conference on
• the bill to prevent contraction of the currency, reported

=MU
The resolution to admit Philip F Thomas, Senator
elect from Maryland, on taking the oath, was taken
up, and debated by Messrs. Doolittle, Drake, Tipton,
and others. '
Mr. DOOLITTIA took the floor and argued that one of
known dielp3alty would not seek admission, as they
knew that If they came and committed perjury they
would be expelled at once; that Mr. Thomas's letter
of resignation, and giving one hundred dollars to his
son, were consistent with innocence, the former mere
ly proving that he held wt ong opinions, in common
with many others- a fatal heresy that cost a vast ex
penditure of blood and treasure, but the holding of
which did not necessarily constitute treason; that being
a man of high character, willing to come end take the
oath, there were no more reason for excludLng him,
than Wendell Phillips, for his utterances, or Horace
Greeley, whose articles in the Tribune, declaring that
it the majority of a State desired to secede. they nad a
right to do it,which were read by Robert Toombs before
the Georgia Secession Convention,thergbycarrying the
convention. When Albert G. Brown withdrew from
the Senate to join the rebellion, Edwin M. Stanton
had met him outside of the door and urged him to go
on in his course, wishing him "God speed," and say
ing he was right.
Mr. Elusiszn asked if the Senator did not know that
this statement was denied.
Dcorarroc bad never seen it denied.
Mr. Somnra—l have always understood that it was
an untruth.
Mr. Jonsson—Mr. Stanton has never denied it.
Mr. Strwiart—Why Mr. StantoL's whole life denies
it.
Mr. DooLirrve did not intend to decry Mr. Stanton
but gave him credit for the position he occupied dur
ing the war.
In answer to a question from Mr. Edmunds, Mr
DOOLITTLE said the:occurrence took place when Mr.
Brown made his - speech in December. 18113, and with
drew; he believed Mr. Stanton was not in the cabine
at that time.
Mr. SumNER--Nhen he went into the cabinet, he
went In to add his testimony to his country.
Mr. Doomme said he did not make the charge on
his own responsibility; but fronl an editorial article In
the Washington Intetagencer.
Mr. CONNEEB—Upon what authority?
Mr. DOOLITTLE—Upon the authority of a speech
made by Albert G. Brown in the Confederate Congress,
which was published in most of the newspapers of the
country.. • - • •
Mr. StremEn--Be was at the time a rebel, speaking
for rebels, and the Senator quotes his speech.
Mr. DOOLITTLE—Yee, elr.
Air. SUMNER—Very welL
Air. Cosuktno said, ae a member of the other House
at the time referred to, he had occasion to know the
position then held by Mr. Stanton, and he was able to
aver that any statement, going to show that Edwin M.
Stanton, by omission or commission, fell short in his
duly, or that he did not do all that a man with hie
heart and head in the right place, could do to resist
the treason that had crept into that cabinet, and was
radiating over the whole country, wee absolutely false,
whoever made ii.
Mr. DOOLITTLE continued. saying he bad
merely stated the allegation, with the authority for it.
by way of putting a case to them. If Stanton had
used such language and was yet willing to take this
oath, if elected to the Senate. he insisted it would be
their duty to receive the oath. It was merely a political
maneiuvre on the part of Slidell and others, when they
left, hoping to alarm the fears of the peo
ple of the North, and thereby, gain their end. Neither
that act, nor Mr. Thomas resignation, necessarily
proved disloyalty.
Mr. DRAICE spoke at some length in opposition to
the resolution, insisting in the strongest terms that
Mr. Thomas could not honestly take the oath.
Mr. TIPTON next addressed the Senate. quoting ex
tensively from the testimony in justification of this
determination to vote for the admission of Mr.
Thomas.
Mr. Buckatzw, of Pennsylvania, argued at length
against tile various points raised against the admis
sion, claiming that the Senate coaiti not resolve itself
into a. judicial tribunal to decide what constituted
statutory offenses.
Mr. FassatrnaN, of Maine, said he would vote
to admit Mr. Thomas, while there might be cases
where the Senate should exclude improper persons,
such cases must be palpable ones justifying the exer
cise of extra•judicial power. It would be dangerous
now to exclude a man with proper credentials on mere
aupposition, or without sufficient evidence.
Mr. Tnuxnutirose to speak on the question, but
gave way to
Mr. HENDERSON, who pronounced an eulogy upon
Mr. 'Noel!. of Missouri, whose decease and the conse
quent adjournment of the House, had been announced
during the debaim. He concluded by offering resolu
tions concurring in those of the House and provid
ing for the adoption of a badge of mourning for thirty
days, and an immediate adjournment, out of respect
to the memory of the deceased.
Mr. Dwex followed briefly on the same subject,
seconding the resolutions. which were adopted.
Messrs. Morrill, of Vermont; Sherman and Hen
dricks were announced as thenew committee of con
ference on the cotton tax bill, and the Senate ad
journed.
House of Representatives-
CALL OP' COPIXFTTEILEi.
The Rouse then, at twenty minutes past one, pro
ceeded, as the business of the morning hoar, to the
call of committees for roports.

RAILROAD GRANTS.
The House then proceeded to the consideration of
the bill reported by Mr. Julien, from the Committee
of Public Lands, declaring forfeited to the United
States certain lands given to aid in the cciustructlon
of railroads in the States of Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana and Florida.
THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN.--PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, JANUARY '23, 1868.
Mr. i was addressed the House in explanation and
advocacy of the bill, dwelling at considerable. length
upon the impolicy or allowing five millions of ncrea of
land lobe held in the grasp of corporations and spc.xu
',tors, while thirteen- fourteenths of the people of the:
South are landless, mid denouncing those corporations
for the aid winch they gave to the rebellion.
Mr. CUANI.P.II, who had suggested that the subject
matter of the bill wea before the Select Committee of
Southern Mallroade, made the point of order that the
question as to whether these railroad corporations had
been loyal or disloyal had no connection with the
measure before the House.
• - - .
1 he SPEAkEn overruled the point of order.
Mr. JeLrAx then said: The gentleman from New
York (Mr. Chanler) will possess his soul to as much
patience as he can under this exposure of the rebel
character of his friends in the BJuth.
. _
Mr. CILINI.EII, who NVB9 occupying a seat close to
Mr. Julian, rose and exclaimed: The gentleman, in
making any ouch assertion, uses the words of a
coward I
The SPEAKER instantly called Mr. Chanter to or
der.
Mr. CIIANLEU, before resuming his seat, added that
the gentleman from Indiana should not take advantage
of his position to make such a statement, and then
prevent his (Mr. Chauler's) replying to it.
The cirzeitrut, knocking with his gavel, repented
that the remarks of the gentleman from New York
wrre out of order.
The remarks having been reduced to writing by the
Globe reporter, were read from the Clerk's desk, the
tsorde attributed to Mr. Chanler closing with the word
"coward."
The SPEAKEn ruled that the language of the gentle
man from l's.;ew York was unparlinmentary and out o
older.
Mr. CIIANLER reminded the Speaker that in connec
tic n with the words excepted to, he had made use of
the expression that the gentleman from Indiana was
taking advantage of his position to make the state
ment and prevent any reply.
The SPEAKER remarked that the qualification did
not justify one member in applying to another mem
ber the epithet of coward. It was unparliamentary
and improper.
Mr. Orem:kn.—Certainly not if he is one.
Mr. Junisn--If the gentleman from New York be
lieves what he says he can test that question himself
at any time.
Mr. CuertnEn--Very well, sir, I will take an early
opportunity. [Laughter.] Has the Chair ruled out of
order the words of the gentleman from Indiana':
The tirgsken---The Chair ruled the words of the
gentleman from New York oat of order. [Laugh
ter.
Mr. CHANLER—That is very easily understood.
The SPEAKER—The Chair will say that the remarks
of the gentleman from Indiana, though they may not
have been very pleasant to the gentleman from New
York, did not violate any parliamentary rule with
shich the Chair Is. familiar. They may, perhaps,
have been severe in their inference, but they did not
offend parliamentary law.
The bill went over till to-morrow to enable the Mis- -
souri delegates to announce the death of their col
league, Thomas E. Noell, who died at St. i.ottis, Octo
ber 4, 1867. Eulogies on the character and public ser
vices of the deceased were made by Messrs. New
comb, Burr, Kerr, Pike. McCormick, Niblack and
Knott.
Appropriate resolutions were adopted, and the
house, at half-past three, adjourned. .
