FRANCE. Michel Chevalier on Political Econ.). lay—llleeting of Persecuted Editors. Maio (Jan. 9) Correspondence of the London Timm] : 11. Michel Chevalier opened on Tuesday his course of lectures on political economy at the College do France. In his introduc-, tory remarks he dwelt particularly on the important share which public wealth has in the defence of States. The progress which , military science has made of late years re quires a capital ever' increasingjand the con sequence is that the nations that are most skilled in the arts of peace are those which have the greatest chance of gaining military preponderance. For this sort of preponder ance, however, a political, economist can have - but little taste; -and,. if one may judge by the manner in which his views „were received by, his audience, consisting for the most part of the student class, ideas in favor of, peace have displaced . those which some years ago were general among this most ardent part of the population. When the lecturer remarked that nations cannot always dispense with augmenting their effective military strength, there were protests heard among his audience; but when he declared that mili tary institutions should always be subordi nate to the arts of peace and to civil institu tions his words were covered with applause. That applause was repeated when he alluded to what Ire' called "liggiene morale" as being absolutely necessary to prevent the abuse of the enjoyments which wealth pro cures, and when he pointed out the part which public opinion has in that "hygiene-. 9nbrale.' Public opinion, M. Chevalier re marked, was the result, and at the same time the safeguard, of liberty; and, therefore, it is well that public opinion should be severe. At the word "severe" the applause was re newed, and it became general and enthu siastic when he concluded by saying that po litical economy was essentially the science of liberty, and hi some sort the application of 'the principles of I iti9. A meeting at which were present repre sentatives of the seventeen journals judicially prosecuted was held the evening before last at the residence of M. Ravin, political direc tor of the Siectc.

Bo Mr. Thornton the Right Man for the ..rtneel.-An Ex.-Diplomatist's Expert. _ once in 1 ashington. To the Editor of the London ,Times : nu:: I have read with regret the leading arti cle in the Times of Friday last upon the ap pointment of Mr. Thornton as Her Majesty's Envoy to the United States. It is, of course, strictly within the province of the public press to comment in any terms, however se vere, upon all official appointments; but it is, on the other hand, as much the characteristic of enlightened • and generous journalism to give equal publicity to the arguments which may be adduced on both sides of any subject which may be matter of controversy. I trust, therefore,that you will permit me to say a few words on this euestion—a question on which, with great submission, 1 entirely dissent from your views. correspondent of the Daily A'cwB has already pointed ort the fallacy of supposing that the iipp . ointullot of Parliamentary Peers to diplomatic posts has ever yet been justified by the result. The duties of an ambassador or minister et a forei b m court are now-a-days of a very onerous natwe. They require not only constant personal attention, but actual daily drudgery. The merely political via of the business constitutes but a tithe of the whole of the work which has to be done; and the bulk o thatwork,: consisting,. as L. ,do es .. in most cases, in the grieVances of British subjects, and in the supervision of and cor respondence with the British consular agents in this country, is peculiarly irksome and un attractive. Such workis especially distaste tul to a successful Dolitielau,.and yet it imperative that due attention should be-paid to : Twenty or twenty-tiVe • years of the routine of the profession breaks in even the Most ambitious diplomatist; he will take to tliecollar and grind away without flinching. Ent,ou Cannot expect as much from a bril liant autistic:misfit] peer, who finds his cor- Mipoudenee with his lawyers and his land ettiv' iiiitinuitc , as much as he cares to attend t,i'lltt;the'wa v y of ordinary lat. , luitS9. o muck for the gocral tAt: , Um! we of Weald , gton inpaiticular, I 'crania to say tha 'the advisability of a ing , a .prominent .statesman 33 our Mi there ,is fairly a matter. of dispute, evt!,, ou political gronnda. The" British representa tive in the.UniteirStates is, and must al' ays be,' 'the moat hiportantinember of the diplo- matic corps resident at . Washington, and, as such, is always the object of Jealousy--at times amountin„fr almost to hostility—on the part olothers. Moreover, by the peculiarity of the American Constitution, there is a species of Japanese duality in the direction of the foreign affairs of the country, and the result is invariably that the relations between the Secretary of State and the. Chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign 'Relations are byno means of the most amicable de scription. Suppose you sent the Duke of Argyle to Washington, what would be his position towards Mr. Seward and Mr. Sumner respectively ? The advent of such a person age would be the signal for an amount of intriguing among the diplomatists, the officials, and the members of Congress which would lead to disastrous results. I shall probably lay myself open to violent attacks by adding that ? after solne years' resi dence in America, I am firmly of opinion that diplomacy can effect but little in keeping the peace between thetwo countries. It is, of course, an advantage to have a discreet and popular Minister like Lord Lyons or Sir Frederick Bruce as our representative on the Other side of the Atlantic, but his influ ence with the American Government will al way's be 'infinitesimal; with the American public, nothing.' The little that can be done will, doubtless, be as well done by Mr. Thorn ton with the aid of his experience among the "semi-civilized" Smith Americans as it would have been by Sir Frederick Bruce whose previous diplomatic experience had been gathered among the equally "t3emiLcivilized" thinese. The :was, doubtless, an amia ble and well-intentioned man, but his repu tation before he was despatched to the United States was certainly not as great as Mr. Thornton's is now, and there is every reason to believe that the new Minister will prove that Lord Stanley is right in saying that he has chosen the beat. possible man for the post.

The Paris correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette writes: "On New Year's Day, at two o'clock, the disciples of Auguste Comte in Paris met in a gloomy little apartment, which their -mas ter inhabited and sanctified, on the second floor of No. 10 Hue Monsieur le Prince, near the Luxemburg Gardens, to celebrate in common the annual ceremony of the wor— ship of Abstract Humanity. "I had never been able to obtain from my Comtist friends at home any clear and satis factory reply. to my questions concerning the ceremonies or the ritual with which humanity in the abstract is worshiped in the Positivist Church. They appear to me very like the Voltairean defenders of the Pope's temporal power during the recent debates, who were all careful to inform us that they personally were no believers in his spiritual power. Thus the Comtists I am acquainted with are all anxious to explain that, though the worship of hu manity in the abstract will be necessary for the masses when the Christian Superstitions have been finally removed, they themselves have attained too high a degree of develop ment to require any religious forms.. I there fore readily availed myself of so welcome an opportunity of gratifying my cutiosity,which had been stimulated by Mr. Congreve'S Sun day lectures in London last summer; and, on Wednesday last, 1 attended human ser-, vice. "The congregation consisted of about forty to fifty persons, including five Fulies„:seated in two small rooms, on several rows of chairs. The High Priest, the, learned and eloquent Monsieur Latitte, Director du Positivisme, took his seat behind a small round table, below a bust of Auguste Comte, which stood between the windows. Like Mr. Congreve, in Bouverie street, Mr. Lafitte opened with becoming unction, in the name of humanity, , of love, order and progress; he reminded us I that we met for the eleventh time since the death of the master to celebrate the Worship of Humanity in a spot sacred to all Comte's I disciples, and from which the light of posi- ' tive truth (or, to speak more correctly, of positivist truth) had radiated upon the world. He congratulated his friends on the progress the good cause had made; he reminded them of their missionary duties, he urged them to persevere, and en treated of them not to be faint-hearted or to , fear the numerous opponents of the positive philosophy. Periodical meetings for reli gious purposes, he maintained, were abso lutely necessary; the :human emotions were awakened by the stimulating effects of com bined action; like Mr: Congreve, he hoped the time was not distant when the positivist ceremonies would-:be_ eelebrated in suitable edifices, with. all the necessary accompani ments of every worship--music, painting and I sculpture. My hope of witnessing these cere monies on Wednesday last was, therefore, I doomed to disappointment; but I recollect I that Mr. Congreve, in his first sermon in I London, had exhorted us to patience, and re- ; ' minded us that Christianity, which began in ' an upper chamber at Jerusalem, had, in the course of a Very few centuries, covered the world with splendid cathedrals. " 'But the good PoAtivist,' M. Latitte continued, 'did not negleet Morning - and evening his private devotions. Without pc riodical elevation of the soul at fixed hours to higher thoughts, the daily cares of material existence would overwhelm and extin guish our spiritual life. The Positive doc trine, be explained, did not reject prayer; it borrowed prayer from Christianity, but only after having purified and • transformed that practice.' "Already St. Augustine had taught that prayer did not consist merely of egotistical begging, but in grateful effusion and devout meditation. M. Lafitte dwelt. at some length on the hagiology of Positivism, on the Positivist Calendar, and on the monthly 'festivities which will be devoted to mar riage, paternity, filiation, domesticity, labor, &c. "The Worship of Hunianity was nothing else but ‘PicVetlisat;wi, B,lpic),lca ir pm de ha Bociabi 1 ji hal‘'.' How long it will take our Comtist apostles,evethough they be as' able as Mr. Frederic larrison, as eloquedts as Professor Beesly, as earnest as Mr. Congreve, or as learned as Dr. Brydges, to induce 'the workingmen of England to worship, the syste .. Anaticsidealization of final soclitbility,L time alone can show. "Although the Indian people had been more degraded by the poison of English nicecaittil ;sits than by their 31 ahommedan conquerors, Lotitte - hopeff that India would be ulti mately converted by missionary vilest% . and. enabled to enter at once into the Positive creed without passing through the prelimi nary phases which the old nations of Europe had been obliged to go throughs—Monotheisin, Christianity, 'Skepticism, &c., &c. "Of the Germans he entertained a very low opinion. They did not enjoy the 'same ad vantages as the french. .They had resisted the beneficent efleets of the Boman conquest. While the French had rid them selves of the Bible attolgether before the end _ TliE PAILY EVENING BULLETIL-PriILAUEtiPII - 11, SATUT .

"England, on the `other hand, FeEt.mtetl to us the encouraging spectacle of men who did not hold the Positive creed, and yet co operated with the Comtist party to promote the cause of justice and truth. "The English Comtists had fearlessly come. forward to defend the trade unions against calumny., ,'While the British aristocracy were cunningly availing themselves Of the excesses of some few trade unions to work; upon the fears of the middle classes, these same trade unions had employed their powerful organi zation to brim, the tyrant Eyre to justice. Mr. Bright had taken chargé in Parliament of the petition of the English Comtists, re commending justice to Ireland and fairness to the Fenians. The preacher exhorted us to toleration. There were many, he said, who believed in sod, and who were yet better Positivists than others who prided themselves on that name. There were many who found hope and comfort in belief iu a spiritual world and a future life; let us not be unduly severe upon them. In conclusion, he appealed to us to join in spiritual communion with all our brethren in the faith, and espe cially with Mr. Congreve in London and Dr. Brydges at Bradford, who were celebrating with us at the same hour the Worship of Humanity. "I need not say that the Director of Pos itivism enjoyed the privilege of all preachers of being secure from interruption or contra diction: After this sermon, which lasted above an hour, the congregation dispersed in silence," Grand Army of the Republic. General Logan's order assuming command of the Grand Army of the Republic is as follows: HisanoUARTERS GRAND ARMY OF 'rim RERYR WASIIINEtON, D. C., Jan. 21, 1868.—GENTS RAT. ORDERS No. 1.--Coissadeg: In accepting the position of commander-111.61d of the Grand Army of the Republic, to which your representa tives assembled in convention at Philadelphia, on the 17th instant, elevated me, I assure you of my profound appreciation of the high honor conferred. It shall be a duty subordinate to no other to so administer the trusts thus reposed that our Order shall attain the pre-eminence to which its objects and mission entitle it. The rules and regulations you have adopted as your guide contain a declaration of principles which it may be well to, notice as setting forth the purposes' and objects of the Grand Army of the Republic. You have said in your fundamental law the results designed to he accomplished are: Fleet—The preservation of those kind and fraternal feelings which have bound together with the strong cords of love and affection the soldiers, sailors and mailnes who have stood to gether in many battles, sieges, engagements and marches. Secthid—To make these ties available in works and results of kindness, of favor and material aid to those in need 01' assistance. Third—To make provision, where it is not al ready done, for the support, care and education of the orphans of soldiers, sailors and marines, and for the maintenance of the widows of the deceased soldiers, sailors and marines. Pinolh —For the protection and assistance of disabled soldiers, sailors and marines, whether dis- bled by wounds, sickness, old ado, eor misfortune. 17011—For the establishment and defence of the rights of the late soldiers, sailors and marines of the United States, morally, socially and politi cally, with a flew 10 inculcate a proper appreda -nen of their services to the country, and to it re cognition of such services and claims by the American people. Sixth—The maintainance of true allegiance to the United States of America, based upon a paramount respect for and fidelity to the national Constitution and laws, manifested by the discountenancing of whatever may tend to weaken loyalty, incite insurrection, treason or re bellion,or in any Manner impair the efficiency and permanence of our free institutions. Together with a defence of universal liberty, equal rights and justice to all men. Governed by those objects and principles, our Order has in the past year in creased to an extent unexampled in history, and is rapidly spreading over the whole country, wherever comrades arc to he found in numbers sufficient to establish posts. It is my earnest hope that the progress made thus far will prove an auspicious precursor of the future. The plan of our organization is similar to that of the army in which you recently served. The analogies are apparent from the time you enter until you leave your post. The ceremonies through which you pass are not empty forms, but have a deep meaning. All those characterif ties, which made you good soldiers iu the war, must follow you into the Grand Army of the Re public, to distinguish you there us they did in the camp or on the battle-field. Every comrade should properly estimate his or. n itniutuee carrying out the high aims of our order. and none can be excused from a proper discharge of Ids duty under the false inipression that his votes; or his hand is not needed. You never could h ave put down the rebellion, except by individual ef forts united, and you cannot now secure the re eults you seek on any other principle. Trusting in your hearty co-operation, 1 herehy s ssuuns command of the Grand Army of the Republte.

When a loan in excess of the limitation 'prescribed in eection 29 is reported, its immediate re duction is required, without inquiry as to the securi ties upon which such loan is based. The law fiXes the limit. I require • conformity to the law, and with such conformity on the part of the bank, I regard my Power as exhausted under the law. "Tothe second inquiry of the resolution, I reply that I have no Infotmation in my possession that any offi rers of such banks ere engaged In speculative opera tion:sin shell stocks which involve the capital and '•credlt of tVeir respective institutions. lam not able to reply affirmatively that I know they arc not en :gaged in such speculations, because I have no authority under thu law to investigate the private or personal transactions of bank officers. Common pru dence on the part of bank directors and 'stock holders would forbid the retention in office of any pretildent, cashier; teller, bookkeeper or clerk who was known to be engaged In speculative operations outside of the bank. The directors and stock- holders have the remedy in their own hands, and should apply It rigidly. "As Couiptroller of the Currency I can interfere only when such speculative transactions involve the banks in a violation of the act of Congress. Bank ex aminers are uniformly instructed to report, and all, my official powers are exercised to prevent, violation or evasion by the national banks of the, act under which they were organized." • ' BILL 'FOR THE IIZOWIANE;ATION OF THE 'TREAMEy nZI ART I T The bill recently introduced in the Senate by Mr. Fesaenden providing for the reorganization of the Treasury Department will, if a opted, decrease the expenses of the Departinericcirdlng to a careful estimate. fully *264),CC0 ter annum.

Ile does, not feel at liberty to recommend the bale of them unless they can he disposed of without sacrifice. He suggests that if Congress shall deem it advisable to dispose of them, that in the bill authorizing their bale, the minimum amount for which they shall be Fold be inserted. In addition to the vessds now In the service, there is re quired for use steamers to meet peculiar wants of two collection districts on the Atlantic coast, and iwo on the Pacific coast.

On presenting to your Ercellincy my cre dentlais, I tieg leave to express my sincere hope that the same confidence and kind disposition of which I have had so many proofs from your ExCellency, and your predecessors, may be continued to me in the flit cherge.of my increased duties as representative of Pruseit. as well ne of the NOrth German States, winch are connected with the people of this great conntry by so many ties of consanguinity and mutual interests. I feel happy, Mr. President. to he the interpreter of the sentimmits expressed ' to your Excellency in the Royal credentials intrusted to me. It will be an in exhaustible source of satisfaction to me if I can con tribute to maintain and strengthen the bonds of friendship and sympathy which have always exit ed between the governments and peoples 01 Germany and the United States, May Ibe allowed 'also, Mr. Prest &ad, to give expression on this occasion to my feel ings ofgratitude. for the many testimonies of good will and kindness which I have received during my long residence in the United States on the part of tim rational authorities, and from so many pertonal friends, Who have 'enabled me to discharge success fully, in most instances, my arduous duties towards my government and to my numerous countrymen under all the political vicissitudes which have oc curred daring the last two years. To which the President refilled : Banos GEnnotr: A.Curious incident, related in Pratt; elan history, fa worthy of mention on this occasion. It was said that after Freesia had regained a eoeditton of peace in 11307; diminished in territory and shorn of political Influence, the Bing invited a public teacher, Feeble, to advise him by whet means the Prdtslan government could restore her former prestige. The teacher, after consideration, replied that the Temple of German Independence had now to be rebuilt from its foundation; that the Old stock .of liberty had withered and been swept aixey in the tornado which had just passed over " their heads; that- a new growth unusttake place, springing froma deeper root, and by a fresher stream. The means which he sug gested for this purpose were 'the establialunent at Berlin of new schools of higher education, from the schools of the old University, teem Which, as from the spiral:Lai heart_of the com munity, a current of life and nergy might be poured forth through all Germany. The advice was adopted, and has ever since been practically pursued. You Baron, will know better, than I thetruth con cerning the incident which I Wive just cited. Certain it is, however, that the event which brings us together to-day le cot merely a recent establishment of the Prusathz Kingdom ; upon firmer foundations than be fore, but also a great advance.• towards the restoration of the unity of the German people. It has always been a mamizn with us, that intelligence and a strict observance of constitutional law are essential to free government. It is new seen that In the can of Germany universal education Is an elementpf national union and aggrandizement. I could not refuse you a welcome in your new and elevated character of Envoy ENtraotclinary of the North German (anion, with out doing violence to the sentiments of the whole Ai - TA:sic:lh people. You were the prominent foreign representative here, although, happily, not the only one, whose is ;sties, counsels and labors were contributed Constantly anti fearlessly during our civil war to the cause of the administeation, and the in destreethble unity of :he United States of America. You may assure your Mug* and the people of North lerniany, that they may alwars expect appreciative sad sympathetic- frfenti. hip from the government and people of the United thatcs. As to yourself. I lame, or max rest assured that tile I;Ac , •cri in which you have be c en held among us will suffer no abatement.

Mr. WILSON', of Masmchusetts, called up the joint nutlikorl7.ing the Commissioners of the Freedmen's Bnreau to distribute to destitute people in the !lout)) such de;sicated ineah• and vegetable; pro vided during the war as are not needed for the use of the army, which was passed. Mr. Wri. , ori offered the following resolution, which was adopted. .1700/TN, That the Comniissioner of the Bureau of Refigees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands forunrd, for the information of the tienate, his circular dta charging the officers and agents ofsaid Bureau on the 15th day of February, proximo, in certain States. with the reports of the assistant-commissioner and others detailing the effect of issuing said circular letter. At the expiration of the morning hour the Senate resumed the consideration of the supplementary re eonetru (Aim' bill. . . Offs. Biomes, of Indiana, took the floor, and argued first, that the Constitution guaranteeing to all States a republican form of government, and the rebel States in 1865 being without State governments, and there fore having no right to representation in Con gress, the United States, that is the government, intuit reconstruct them. He commented upon the claim that the Republicans sought to establish negro supremacy, and then criticized Mr. Doolittle's proposed amendment of the first qual ideation of negro suffrage, one year's. service in the (inked Sue CM Army. I.IC said they allowed rebels to vote who had served three years in the army. Of the educational qoalifications, he said they allowed white men to vote who did not know how to put their mark to a note given for whisky (laughter), and in regard to the third qualification,' reqniring the possession of a ^ freehold worth (Pak that it would cut off ninety-nine out of a hundred loyal blacks, while a white rebel, never in his life worth twenty-five cents, and' who had never paid an honest debt. was allowed to vote: Mr. NYE, of Nevada, followed. He said the amend ^ merit was introduced to elicit a political discussiod, and the object of the arrilvar would be achieved, for. the other side would have enough of it before the dote. The power of the Republican party had been felt on every battle-field, and would continue to be felt until the work was completed. There had been faint-hearted ones during the war, as,there were now. The Senator from Wisconsin (Hr. Doolittle) had ; greatly changed since be (Mr. Nye) had sat in the gal ^ 'cries listening to the musical strains of his appeals in behalf of liberty. He (Mr. Nye) was a Radical, and he gloried in it. After speaking of General Grant's hold on the na tional memory, lie said the Conservatives, such as the Senator from Wiscousin, attempting to stand in the.. path of General Grant, was, like a certain animal on a railroad track butting at a locomotive. While he ad mired its comae he could not think much of its dig ^ fret ion. (Laughter.) General Grant, unlike the Con ' servatives, belonged to the class of animals called Vertebrates. The only sins Of Congrees, he went on • to say during the last twelve months, had been sins of omission, that he hoped would soon be repaired. General Sheridan had been immolated on the coward ly platform of conservatism, and he did not know %Ouch was most disappointed, the Conservatives, or the President, at the course of General Meade. lie alluded to the hopeful close of the Senator's speech in regard to the garlic ring of the clans that were to overthrow the Republican party. What col ' limn would Jeff. Davis lead; under whose banner would •1 he Senator come with his little squad? [Laughter.] Would he come with the Northern wing under Val ' lantligham and Pendleton The gathering could be easily numbered. What would be the uniform r The Senator would hardly choose the grey, and of course would not wear the hlue. Under what banner would he march--the old flag or the stars and bars? Mr. Da(g.ITTLE—I would march under a flag having , thirty-seven stars. [Applause intim galleries, quickly ^ suppressed.) ' Mr; NYE continued, saying that those:hosts could gather under no other banner than that of thirty-seven wars undimmed by conservatism or rebellion, thougn t he Senator Eeemed to wish to prevent it. He then allud ed to the course of the Democratic party in past years. De had belonged to it once, hut ought to ea) , in ex cule• that he was then quite young. [Laughter. He argued that disunion took it , tirst rise in Kansas, where the first blood seas spilled by the aggressive policy of slavery. To the Senator's question, whether , there had not been enoughsuffering entailed on the South, be replied that he supposed the fear was that there ehould be Impiieed union them the further in fliction of a Democratic administration. [Laughter.] lie:denounced as a foul slander the assertion of Mr. Doolittle. that the Radicals of the North were seises . Was General Sheridan a secessionist ? Let the Senator tell him so, if p dared. Was Mr. Sum n er.who had felt the bruises of a rebel or secessioniatp 'Was their Chairman (Mr. Wade), who had been twenty years in the service, a secessionist :• The Republican party during the mighty war had done what the Dem ocratic party when in power dared not do. They had carried through an enterprise that was des tined to change the current of the commerce of the , world—the Pacific Railroad. Be concluded with a 1 ervid recital of the achievements of the Republican party. On motion of Mr. WlLsos; the further considera tion was postponed. An adjournment until Monday was then provided tor. Mr. SUMNER called up the joint resolution authoriz ing the Secretary of the Navy to detail officers to rep resent the United States at the forthcoming interim tional maritime exposition at Havre. Mr. COZOIESS, of California, offered an amendment providing that it shall not be attended with'expense. Some discussion ensued, Mr. 'l'ntr3raum. opposing the resolution on the ground that noauthority ex isted for detailing such officers , . They could go with out. SCNNER earnestly urged the immediate passage of the resolution, explaining that the Exhibition in i•luded vessels and everything relating to navigation; that every people in Europe would be there repre sented by commissioners. Forty-seven American exhibitors had entered their names, and it was de- Arable that commissioners should represent their in tereqs there. It would involve bat a trilling expense. Mr. SHERMAN- thought It had better go over until Monday. In his opinion it would involve a good deal of expense. Alter further opposition by Mess s. Trumbull and Conness, the death of Elijah 'Esc, of, Kentucky, was announced by the Clerk of the House, and Mr. Davis offered the usual resolutions, which were seconded by Hendrickg,,wbo made a tow remarks, whereupon they were adorned, and the Senate adjourned. Pending the disposition of the question. ri( lIENCK, from the conference committee on the cotton tax bill, reported that the committee had agreed to recommend that the Senate recede from its amendments and agree to the bill with an amendment adding the following words: "And cotton imported from foreign countries on and after July 1, LIGS, shall be exempted from outy." 31r. Sbenck explained the meaning and operation of ther eport, and reasons why the conferees on the part of the HouSe had agreed to it. Theprovlsion, he said. did not affect nationally the interests of the ,country,or the reveulie of the.country.: . Cotton would. be left relatively in the same politionlhat it had been. Mr. Moonitnan, of Pennsylvania, one of the con ferces„ said.he dia not rise to oppose the report, al though he had not Signed it, but to explain his own position. He considered the amendment entirely in consistent with the principles on which the douse had been acting, for while on the one hand the House was trying to stimulate the production of cotton, it was trying on the other hand to give American cotton a rival. Mr. BECn, of Kentucky,. the third conferee. ex plained itts action as a member of the conference committee in agreeing to the reports. One reason was that the prior conference on the part of the House had tweed to it, and another was that the cotton ported is not such cotton as. comes. into competition with the American production. Mr. MAYNARD opposed the report, showing that cotton could be b . cought from Brazil and India, and landed in New York as cheaply as it could' be landed in Liverpool. The tax of three cents per pound on imported cotton had been required to be paid in 4pecie, while the tax on American cotton was payable in currency, and to that extent the tax had operated in favor of the domestic article; but the pending proposition would bring the foreign article into im mediate and ruinous competition with the domestic article. If the duty was taken oil domestic wool, why should it not be taken off foreign wool? He was for protection—the protection of labor and industry— and he trusted the I louse would not concur in the re port. .4 new conference committee might agree to something better. It certainly could not agree to anythmg worse. Mr. Ammer; said though he might vote for the re port, he would do so under protest, because this was the first time where, in the consideration of an inter nal revenue bill. the House was called upon to treat of a tariff measure. He thought the bill would work great injustice to the holders of cotton prior to the ilist of July, 1868 Mr. BLAINE, of Maine, expressed the hope that the House would vote down the report, and see whether, with another conference committee, the House could not get a better report. - Mr. SERENER said the committee had only made the concession it had made from the assurance that no better terms could be obtained from that or any future conference committee on the part of the Senate. = Mr. Covong, of Pennsylvania, said he could not vote for the report. The effect of removing the tax on im •iiorted .Cotton. .The be to , -let -manufacturers - get - On a cheap article and makogoods of a shoddy char actor. The previous question was seconded, and the con ference report was disatrreed'to—yeas, 67; nays, 79: Mr. ALLIBON moved for a new committee of confer eime. Mr. Sermon moved that the new committee of conference on the part of the Warm be instructed to adhere tooth° bill, as he found that the Senate coni mittee was tu ting under instructions. The BrzewErt intimated that it was- net parliamen. hey to instruct a committee of: conference. It was suppoeed to be a free committee of conference. Idr. Sem:4ex withdrew the motion. Mr. Allison's motion was agreed to, and Messrs. Allison, of lowa, Blaine of Maine, and Trimble of Kentucky, wore appointed. The death of Mt. flee. late member from Kentucky, %vss then, atquartex pest three, announced, and after Hottseot Kepresentatives- remarks by Messrs. GM.laday, Grover, Trimble sad Jones on the character and public services of the de- ceased, appropriate resol¢ dont* were adopted, Mail the Rouse. at quarter het. retour o'clock. adienrned. 1829. --CHARTER PERPETUAL, FRANKLIN FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY PHILADELPHIA, Nos. 435 and 437 Chestnut Street.
