XLth CONCIRESS.-4SECOND SESSION. tcoscLusioN 1 - I , S:TEIWAY'S PROCICEIANGS:I ;Senate. MARITIME xxnrISITION. The morning hour having s apired, the special orde Was announced to be the resolution for detailing, by the Secretary of the Navy, of one or more naval °fa cers to attend the international Maritime Exhibition at Bayne. Mr. ScsrtvEn, of Massachusetts, pressed the resolu tion, saying that even secondary governments wo have such representatives, such as Greece and German States, and this government having m ich taiga interests, it would be attended with no expenie. Mr. Tnumaunt. opposed the resolution. It wag an exhibition mostly of articles already shown at P trio. and he was informed that the French •Emperor and the Prince Imperial were to draw prizes. Ile moved to postpone. Mr. SUMNEB quoted the saying "noblesse oblige," and said commerce imposed obligations on nations like the United States. Be again urged the import ance of its immediate passage • t, Mr. MORRELL, of Vermont, was opposed to cora voting where where sure to be beaten and disgraced, as we ware at Paris. Mr. Tuns - mu, of Illinois, read a list of articles to be exhibited, including corn, oil and other merchan dise, to show that it was not a mere naval exhibition, and further opposed the bill on the ground of ex pense. On motion of Mr. Syr.w.arvr, of Nevada, the reso lutL n was laidon the table. Mr. Davis. of Kentucky, offered a resolution de claring in effect that— Whereas, The people of the Unitid States are all grievously burdened with an! eriortnous public debt and unequal and 'unjust taxation, their industry and business being disorganized and depreesed•by the rav ages of war,'Enbsequent misgovernment, and wasteful expenditure, desire now to Ina:Dilute some measures for their relief, , Be it resolved, That Congress ought at once to cease its war upon the Constitution, the Suprette Coed and the President,' and the white people of the Southern States, and give faithful attention to its own appro priate duties; that the people of the Southern States ought not to be further obstructed by Congress in thelx efforts to resume proper relations to the govern ment of the United States under the Constitution, and to regain their former prosperity by the undi vided 'attention to their Magness and industries; that Congress ought immediately to enter upon a thorough ;system of reform, retrenchment and economy in the aamitilstration of' every branch of the public service; that the Freedmen's Bateau( should lie forthwith abolished, in order to save the tens of 'millions it an nually costs, and to leave the black 'tied white races to choose their own field of labor and straggle for their own support; that to relieve the people from the pay ment or their taxes to,the anionnt of fifty millions annually, the standing , army should be reduced to twenty thousand men; that to save further heavy drafts on the Treasury, the reconstruction policy of Congress should be abandoned; that the unconstitu tional tax on cotton should be abolished, and the tax collected ita. :ded; that spirits, tobacco and luxuries shouldbM' ed as to provide the largest amount of revenue from t re, and with this view, and to pre vent frauds and ermries, the tax on-whisky should tiN he fifty cents per gallon, payable by distillers; that the United States bonds. should be reasonably taxed; that the necessaries of life, raw materials and other articles entering into manufacture and 'ship-building should be subjected to the lowest rates of duty that the ne cessities of the government will permit. Laid on the table. On motion of Mr. Couriuss, of California, the sup plementary reconstruction bill was taken up, the question being on Mr Doolittle's motion to instruct the judiciary Committee to report his amendment: WILSON'S SPENCEL • Mr. WILPON, of Massachusetts, took the floor and said he had not been aware, when Mr. Doolittle in sisted upon occupying the morning hoar, on Thurs uay, that it had been authoritatively announced that the Senator was to deliver a long premeditated and carefully prepared speech, laying down a plat'orm for the Conservative party in the coming election. He had never heard a 'more unpatriot c, inhuman and wicked speech. He said that the Senator's purpose was to overthrow the nearly completed policy of re-: construction. He recited and praised the progress of those States under the .reconstruction acts, saying the people now enjoyed more liberty, law and order than ever before during the century. Re denied Mr. Doolittle's assertion, on the authority of military men, that the blacks were nut loyal during the war. They had wisely not risen in insurrection, bided their time, and helped loyal men when they could. He also de nied the assertion that a clyil war was impending in the South, niade by Mr. Doolittle, on the authority of Alexander 11. Stephens and others. Mr. Wilson here contrasted the feeling and deeds- of Southern and Northern Radicals as to liberty at home and abroad, i l contending that the latter were champions of liber everywhere, and that the human race could not afford.: he could almost say without irreverence, that Go could not afford, to have their almost completed policy stricken down by each efforts as that of the senator from Wisconsin. • NIL TORNEONS SPEECH - . Mr. JOHNE.CYS, of Maryland, next addressed the Senate. It had not been his purpose to speak on the genera question until the measures were regularly brought before the Semite, and he, therefore, re • gretted that the amendment was introduced. Bat as doctrines had been advanced, in his opinion, eon - trary to the teachingof the Constitution, he would at tempt to correct some ea-Areal:lona that, had been made. The Senator from lanote (Mr. Trombull) claimed that the Supreme Court had at first doubted its power to decide on the constitutionality of laws passed by Coegress. The Constitution going into practical Gyration in Fre9, the judiciary act of that year provided in regard to the powers of the judiciary, authorizing them, in consonance with the second sec tion. third article of the Conatitution, to have juris diction of such questions. Afterwards, the Circuit Comt of New York declared a certain pension act void that involved the question. The same question was decided by the judiciary in South Carolina, and other States, and the Supreme Court unhesitatingly ratified that decision, and many decisions since that doctrine was maintained. Though it was true that Chief Justice Marshall had argued in order to satisfy the public mind that the Legislative Depart ment would riot be interfered with except in cases wherein there could not be a doubt, he said neither Hamilton nor any members of the Convention that • formed the Constitution ever expressed a doubt not only that this power was included in the Constitution, bat that freedom would be insecure without it. He quoted from Hamilton's writings in the Federalist, the opinion that the judicial existed co-ordinate with the legislative power, and that otherwise the liberties of the people would be unsafe. He also quoted from Chancellor Rent to the effect that every act of the legislative power contrary to the Consiltution was subject to being so decided by the judiciary, and said that without such a state of things the country would not have prospered as it has. Referring to the debate between Webster • and Rayne, he said that when the latter claimed for the States the power to decide whether or not the Constitution WaStotagutory upon their denouncing the doctrine that the Judiciary bad such power, Webster. assailing the doctrine of. secession, armed in a poweafni -speech that the Jetts ciary alone had power to decide such a question. -CUL 1-trumg that to be the only peaceful remedy existing to decide differences between States and the United States, or between citizens of any State and-CAugefl. Mr. Johnson proceeded to combat the views:es pressed by Mr. Morton. They contained, he said, doctrines foreign to the Constitution. The Senator had, doubtless, seen that unless he interpo lated Into the clause of construction on which he claimed these ptswe:a for Co press, words not there found.. La cud not successfully defend them. He had rtlat the clause as it it onaranteexl, throagh Con green, a. left term of government to every State in terpolating the word - loyal' on the gronnd that loy alty was and must be inherent. The object of the Conventionin passing that Coast!- ' talon was to preserve the unity of form of republican liberty, leaving the evils to be corrected by the better judgment of the people. in most of the States slavery existed, and the Constitution contained a provision by which toe number of slaves could be increased for a period of twenty years, by immigration, and most of them required others to be of a certain age, and to have resided fur a time in his State, but nobody in that Convention imagined, in signing his name to that • Constitution. that it contained any provision for tak ing away from a State its sovereignty, prescribe the qualification of voters, or those to be voted for. Such a doctrine was antagonistic to the true spirit of the Constitution of the United States, and fatal to the continued existents of thegovernment. He never would have dreamed of imputing dtelovalty to Jeffer son, In 1798, in the sense to which the Senator from Indiana (Mr. Morton) made such imputations. Was his State (Maryland) disloyal in the view of that Senator when he claimed that republican forms of goverment cannot be secured unless Congress frame constitutions for them, or prescribe constitu tions without which they cannot enter the Union as Statee? It was claimed that the government was in the" hands of perawas who had sympathized with the rebellion. It was not for him (Mr. Johnson) to com ment upon those persons, but in his judgment they . held thegovernment rightfully, as far as the Consti tutions of the State and of the United States were concerned. He was satisfied they had erred in thus rl nipathl zing, and if wiser pounseig had not prevailed by which' the State was retained within the obit of its duties, she would have beeti the battle-ground of the war, and instead of being the abode of happiness and freedom, she might have shared the same rate as - Ihme-whoengeged in the bile and Unconetitutional attempt — fts - destroy that government; But the rebellion was now at - an - end, and no man dreamed of reviving it. It was insane in its origin as well as unconstitutional, and wan fatal, as he expected from the lira, to the very institution on which it was founded; and terrible as had been the consequences of the rebellion, there was to be found In the fact that slavery was so longer a blot upon the fair tame of this nation, compensation almost entire.' Another compensation was found in the fact that the doctrine of secession was forever ended, and he saw no reason why, If they moved -within the respective orbits to which the States and Tinned States were limited, the nation should not continue to exist forever, chief among the nations of the earth. It wag a universal principle of construc tion th a t la ascertaining the meaning of any particular clause, tt should be read in connection with °tad clauses, and that Senator had disregarded:other clauses Intended to restrict this and every other clause of the Constitution.. Referring to the prohibition of bins s. THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN.—PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, JANUARY 28, 1868. of attainder or ea' post fitcto laws by Con gress. he said roe framers of the Constitution Imbued with the spirit of liberty, had felt it their duty to prohibit such legislation. And again urged by the overpowering influence' of governments in the Old , World and their theories on the subject of govern- Ments, our fathers had specified in what, alone treason should consist. Rngland's preservation of eivil rights had made her the freest government in the world until we betfame freer than she, It Wee impossible to guard the citizen againat the danger from military power if every MAU had not the ' right to demand the protection of the CcrnstitutiOn. While he had agrate ful sense of what the country owed to General Grant, were be Washington himself, he (Johnson) would not intrust him with the powers conferred by this bill. Disregarding all the securities for the rights of the people of the South, if the clause quoted by the Sena tor stood alone the things alluded to by him could not be done; that the Constitution restrained Con gress from passing such laws by very positive prohibitions. The Senator from Indiana could not involve him in' tnu inconsistency in re cord to the continued existence of States. He bad always maintained they had never ceased to be such. The act of July, 18111, giving the power to deelare the existence of insurrection, provided that the power of forcibly executing the laws there should cease on the re-establishment of the power of the government. lie was a lad to lind that ho had the support of Chief Justice Chase, who, when he opened his court In South Carolina., decide.d in .the case of a creditor suing a South Carolina man, who had paid the money over under the Confederate act of sequestration, that such act was void, being done under a government that was illegal, and that , the acts of secession never tonic a State out of the Union. This was ample and high contradiction of the claim that those States, by reason of secession, were reduced to the condition of Territories. The Supreme Court in the Milligan case so held; the Chief Justice himself, though differing from the majority in the main question, still held in a dissenting opinion 'that when the war terminated the laws wore restored, and the offenders should be tried by the civil authorities. lathe vocab ulary of the Constitution there was no such word as • 'necessity," as claimed by those who would make one constitution for the South and another for the North. It was idle to deny that a large number of the Repub lican party were opposed to the measures of Congress, either legislating as they had or in failing to legislate otherwise. Iteferrhtg to the unsettled condition of the country and impending repudiation, he urged the bringing back.the South and restoring to the revenues of emu. metre her means of wealth; and so would they belle the belief that Congress was legislating for a continu ance of poWer, sad not for the best interests of the country, and answer the prayers for harmony of thousands of tongues that ascend every morning. GOVERNOR PATTON At the conclusion of Mr. Johnson's remarks, on mo tion of Mr. STrwarrr, the bill for the relief of the ois abilities of Robert BL Patton was tsken up. Mr. Prisnrioutlxsits has the floor on the neon et-eviction bill for tomorrow. Mr. DAvis opposed the application, saying, appli cation was dictated by a desire to obtain office, ,and he proceeded to denounce him and others coming on the same errand as doubtful parties. Mr. khrawanr said perhaps the Senator did not un derstand that General Patton had been pardoned by the President and appointed a Provisional Governor. Mr. Davis asked if that made him any better. Mr. STEWART thought not. The difference between him and others who had been pardoned, was, that he hal repented of his crime and they had not. He ap waled to the South generally to do likewise and Con gress would gladly receive them. Mr. Baca ALE w. of Pennsylvania, argued against the preccdent of Individual preference as entaffing a great ct.al'of unnecessary trouble for the sake of individ uals seeking office, ,and would support a general am nesty bill. Mr. Fassaubmi said the bill did not empower him to hold office or do anything but vote. After further debate the bill was passed by the fol lewing vote : Yeas--Messre. Cattell, Cole, Conkling, Connesa, eorbelt. Cragin, Doolittle, Frelinghtlysen, Harlan, Howe, Johnson.

The Senate then attire o'clock adjourned House el Itepresntatives- The call of States for bills being completed, the re mainder of the morning hour was spent in calling States for resolutions. , RESOLUTIONS Mr. MALLORY, of Oregon, offered a resolution in stiuctitg the Committee of Ways and Means to in quire into the expediency of authorizing the Secre tary of the Treasury : Yirst. To employ all the legal-tender notes that may come into his possession in excess ot the amount necessary to pay the current expenses of the govern ment in purchasing at their market value, such in terest bearing securities of the United States as he may be able to obtain. Second. To employ all the gold in the Treasury in excess of $3,000,000 in the same way. Third. To authorize a loan equal •to the whole amount of the present interest-bearing debt eof the United States, and to issue bonds running fifty years, at four per cent. interest, principal and interestpaya b:e in gold. The loan to be offered only as the gold may be required to pay the current expenses of the government or to purchase the present interest-bear ing bonds. Fourth. To require the national banks to replace the bonds now on deposit in the Treasury with such four per rent. bonds. Adopted. `JS II XN U \Y.i Y 1~ 72 f H i 1 [:l:♦♦ h`{i J t ~ iir i alll t; Y ~A5111+I:~ Mr. CLaasz, of lians,s, offered a preamMe and resolution reciting that the act of January, 24, 1867, trovides that there shall be no denial of the elective franchise in any of the Territories on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude, and that it is reported that the Legislature of Montana has passed a bill, which has been approved by the Governor of Montana Territy, restricting the franchise to white male citizens, or Instructing the Judiciary Commit tee to inquire into the facts and to report such measure as may be necessary to secure obedience on the part of the Legislature and Governor of Montana to the laws of congress. Mr. WasimonNE,of Illinois, suggested that the corn• mittee be instiucted to report a bill repealing the act organizing the Territory. Mr. WILSON, of lowa, suggested that the subject should be committed to the Committee on Territories. Mr. Cranun so modified the resolution. Mr. CAVANAUGH, 01 Montana Territory, tried to make a remark, but was cut of( by the previous ques tion. He then moved to lay the resolution on the . tside.

Mr. BANKS, from the Committee on Foreign Affairs, reported a bill concerning the rights of American citi zens in foreign States, which was ordered to be printed and recommitted, it being understood that it will be reported back for action this week. It differs from the bill as published, in the following particulars: In the fist section. in place of empowering the Pres ident to use the influence and authority of the govern ment to secure the recognition of tile rights of nat uralized citizens, it empowers him t'o Imo all the re sources of the government in just efforts to do so.

After some filibustering motions the rules were sus pended and the resolution offered andadopted, and then at a quarter past fora• o'clock the Roue ad journed. FIIOITI WASHINGTON. GENERAL RAE - KW REPORT The report made by General 13anks to-day, ,Irom the Committee ou Foreign Affairs, commences by saying that the treaty of peace between the United States and Great Britain at the close of thg War of Independence left unsettled three subjects of international import ance. First. The impressment of seamen Second. The right of search. Third. The queStion of expatriation. The ilcet and second were virtually settled by the War of 1812, but the third and most important remains unsettled. The total emigration to this country from Europe since the Declaration of Independence is 6,010.00 e, and as English law holds them and their de scendants as British subjects, the question of their rights became very important. The correspondence transmitted to Congress shows that naturalized citizens of the United States, being present in Great Britain, without commission of any offense, have been arrested, tried, convicted, sentenced and punished as criminals upon the ground that they were natural born subjects of the crown; that their allegiance was perpetual and inde feasible, except by its consent; and that they were, therefore, subject to its laws, and liable to punish ment, not only for offenses committed within its ur: E diet ion, but for words spoken and acts performed in the United States. They claim the protection of their adopted country,' which has made them citizens and conferred upon them the same rights, both at home and abreact; which are enjoyed by native born Americans. The government is in duty bound tolisten to their appeal, and to protect them in their rights. The President called the especial attention of C'on gress to this subject in his last annual message. - The committee say it is not in their province to ex amine laws of England by which these prosecutions have been conducted; but, as the Engiish judges ap peal to the law authorities of this country in justifica tion of their course, it may not be inappropriate to consider the origin and nature of the indefeasible and perpetual allegiance to the British Crown, which the committee proceed to do. They next present a clear statement and comparison of the laws of the various European nations and those of our own together with precedents in regard to the various questions at issue. The conclusion reached is that the claims of indefeasible allegiance ana per petual service is the symbol of feudalism and force. The right of emigration and naturalization, where life or liberty is insecure or where the prerogatives of conscience are violated, is wrought into the constitu tions of all governments of choice. The feudal claim is as absolute over the mind as the body. It denies the liberty of conscience and of thought by the same title that it proscribes' the right of locomotion. It dwarfs human capacity and reason, and corrupts the nature of man and society. As a subject, rho life of Bacon is an offense; as a citizen and scholar, he is the glory of his race. Shakespeare is known to the law as a criminal; in the world of letters and literature be is revered as an immortal spirit. It will be difficult to find an authority of American law writers or a de cision of American courts in which the doctrine of perpetual allegiance is recognized, except as a trai itlon of 1 nglish law; or a case in which it has been regarded with favor, except for the purpose of preventing pri vate injustice or theinjnry of public peace. It has no authority in this country except as an element of En glish common law, existing at the time of the Revolu tion. There is nothing American in the oath of the land barons of England, in leB6, nor in the feeble par aphrase of that obligation by Blackstone. The committee conclude their report as follows : The United States have a population or 35,000,000. The free people, in 1790, numbered 3,250,000; with an annual increase of births over deaths estimated at one and thirty-eight i hundredths percent., theywould now number .1,250,000; add 9,000,000 emancipated people, and the aggregate of the population existing in 1790, with their deecendants,,is thirteen and a quartet mil lions. TLC baTance of the people. 21,750,000, are immi grants and their descendants. If thts portion of our people—more than twenty millions—arc subjects of the several States of Europe, and therr ser vice is due to them; if they have no right to defend themselves or their adopted contr• try in the event of le war with Europe; if unstained by crime and free from all offense, they are in consequence of this claim of service debarred from travel and from intarcourse with civilized nations, or subject to arrest and compulsory service in armies or ganized to fight against their own government Then the United States has no independent existence. It may 'have numbers, industry, commerce, lettenS, science, invention, courage, enterprise, wealth, pros. pertly and power, but it is not independent. :Its dreams of equality. are delusions, and its sacrifices have been In vain. Every State in Europe will have its garrisons it these claims are admitted in every part of the Union. The able-bodied portion of threetf the of our population conld be summoned to fight for govern meats with which they have no connection, and against those with which their fortunes are indissolu bly united, turd they would be accounted traitors if found in the ranks of the armies. We have received, educated, employed, enriched, and enfranchised that portion of the people of Europe which its rulers cast off, to find them in their strength incapable of lawful resistance to public enemies. They would be exposed to arrest and corn puleory military, service or punishment. not only if sound in their native country, but in any civilized nation with which their native_governments might have treaties of extradition. Martin: Kozsta was a native of Hungary, residing is Turkey; with the con vent of its government hie earrender was demanded by, Austria under an interpretation of treaties rejected by Turkey, and would have been surrendered and imprisoned but for the forcible intervention Of the government of ,the United States. The Intimate association of those who are claimed as subjects of fordo governments is such as to pet in peril the rights or peace of all. • Its absurdity, if applied to this large portion of our people,is palpable. But the injustice of its application to individuals is equal to the absurdity of its application to nations. The injuetice of the principle is more apparent than the enmity. But that there is a correction for so lreat a wrong cannot be doubted. It is not in vain to a b o r f or a rec o nsid e ration of this great question by European governments more in the light of reason and less in.ibe eptrit of feudal philoitophya__The solution of this - important lairertiational - problem• bekings to-mon who here the capacity to divine the right in. Jaw, and • the courage to aestet its power. That such men are to be found among those who occupy the proud eminence of royal or popular favor cannot bo doubted. ' There Is ono quarter of the world to which we look with hope. 'Phase who have evoked 'from the labyrinth of German politics, which have been to all students of history, in one sense, a mystery, and In another a puzzle who, from the elements of anarchy, have in. an instant and by a word, called into a new creation, already recognized as a permanent empire, and which promisee, at a day not distant, to unite a race long divided, and • to cement A glower in central Europe long needed, that may num ber sixty millions people,. to those • whose genius and success Is due tire North German Won. We have aright to turn for the Justice we demand in the foundation of a new power. She has wisely submitted her plans to the approval of the people. She has made petty Interests that formed petty governments subservient to great On chiles, that are the only basis of great nations. , She Las united the people whd speak the same language, and who reverence the same historic past. One seeks to bold them together by consent, not by force. The Constitution of 1567 16 redolent of the future. The Republic of the New Word might adopt with profit many of its wise and just proilsions. She Icnows how important emigration is to civilization and to liberty. She felt in the pint struggle which terminated at Sn down, the priceless advantages of the Germanic emi gration to the. North, which gave her a friend and an ally in Russia. She counts not less than two millions native-born children in the republican family of the United States, and of their descendants, nearly six milkier, more. She will un derstand how dearly they cherish the glorious memor ies of the fatherland. She can comprehend the ad vantage of an ally and friend in the New World, equal in spirit and strength to that which supports her in the Old. The concession we ask is not worth to her the parchment upon which i it is written. Her conventions and treaties closely approach it. The legislation of some of the lesser German States, as in terpreted by their rulers, required but the deilnition of a single word to secure to Americans 811 they ask of Germany. But 'whatever may be her decision, or that of other fatstes,the point we make must be conceded; the rights wo claim cannot be pe.manently de• nied. That the question at issue will be settled against us, that it is to reMaielong unsettled, is im possible. The Committee on Foreign Affairs have entered upon the consideration of the question only by the direct order of the House. It has received the con siderate attention which its great importance de mands, and the result of its deliberations is embraced in a bill herewith submitted for the' consideration of the Rouse. Nothing can be more apparent than that legislation does not alone furnish a remedy for the evils of which the country complains. Local legisla tion is as powerless to effect the reforms we desire as it is to justify the wrongs inflicted upon American citizens by other nations, but it is indispensable as a first step that a statute declaration of the rights we claim should exist. It is also important that distinct _proclamation of the limitations to the rights %reclaim should be made; the project of a law which is sub mitted herewith seeks to accomplish this result. It .also propene that %Oen all the resources of the government ehall have failed to produce a recognition by other governments the principles of public law so long maintained by this in regard to the rights of naturalized citizens, the President shall be invested with the same authority within our jurisdiction as to subjects of other governments that foreign States enforce upon Ameri can citizens within their jurisdiction. In case of col lision, reprisal, or war, n State iejustifled Si detaining a foreigner against his will. [Von Martin's Law of Nations, 87.1 But it is not anticipated that such pro ceedings will, be required. It cannot be that in this age, when all the political traditions of the middle ages are trimbling,thet Europe will at this day rash into extremities to Einstein a claimrepudiated by every an thority-Of law, humanity, experience, civilization and justice. • AMLUSEDIENTts. 1.

Sr. Louts, Jan. 27.—The committee appointed by the Central General; Grant Club , punlish an addrtes to the Republicans of Missend, which gives, among other reasons why General Grant should be nominated by the Republican National Convention for President, his honesty ) he having proved himself to be a patriot, because lie Is it man 01 the people, sprung from their ranks, devoted to their inte rests, and possessed of those rare (mantes nccessaly for a Chief Magistrate amidst the present political complications, viz.: practical common sense, unflinching determina tion of purpose, clear discrimination as to men and measures, and will practice and enforce rigid economy in every department of the Government. Becanee his views of the' question of Reconstruction are in harmony with those of Congress' and he will mete out equal and exact justice without reference to condition, color or nationality. Because; ho la magnanimous, and will = ad minister the government 'on . the liberal, progressive principla of the Republican party. Because he can place the financial system on a solid basis, and vitalize our commerce at home and abroad.- Because his election will give weight, to our •nationality among the nations, will settle tip the Alabama claims, "and.move im mediately on the works of the enemy." Because he will see that our flag is respected by all nations, however powerful, and will pro tect naturalized citizens whenever or wherever their rights may be atralled or their liberty abridged. Because Gen. Grant is the first.cholee of an overwhelming majority of the people for the next Chief Magistrate. The formation of Grant Clubs in every town of the . State is earnestly recommended. XLth Consress-accond Session. WABIIINOTON, Jall. 27, 18. Skaarn.—The Chair laid before the Sena B6 te a petition from the Constitutional Convention of Georgia, relative to the reorganization of the State Governments in the South. Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. Also, from the Constitutional Convention of Mississippi praying for an extension of the Freed men's Bureau. Referred to the Judiciary Com mittee. . Also, a petition from citizens of Massachusetts relative to the rights of adopted citizens abroad. Also, a communication of inquiry setting forth the facts in relation to the discontinuance of the Freedmen's Bureau in Kentucky Tennessee and Maryland: Mr. Ferry (Conn.) introduced a resolution to allow the importation of dye-stuffs free of duty. Referred to the Committee on Commerce. Mr. Wilson (Mass.) introduced a bill to relieve the disabilitica of certain persons in Virginia. Referred to the Judiciary Committee. Also, a bill to permit the ofileersand soldiers • to wear corps;badges for services during the war. Mr. Sumner (Mass.) offered a resolution asking Pie President for information relative„ to the of the Rev. Mr. Me3iahon, Robert Lynch and others by , the Bnash government. Adopted. Mr. Trumbull (Ill.) offered a resolution calling for information relative to the disposition of ' capturt d'and abandoned . property. " On motion of Mr. Stewart (Nevada), the Senate took up the bill to relieve the disabilities of Robert M. Patton, of Alabains. Mr. Stewart said the petition was signed by Gen. Swayne and thirty-seven members of the Constitutional Convention, and read a letter from Gen. Popo to Gen. Grant, favoring the re moval of the disabilities, saying he had rendered good assistance in carrying out the Reconstrac Lion acts. Mr. Stewart stated that the Governor had been a Union man, but engaged in the re bellion in a civil capacity, and could not take the oath. •• Mr. Pomeroy (Kan.) favored the bill, saying there were many similar cases In the South,where many persons were willing to comply with the Reconstruction nobs and ought to be relieved. Mr. Howard (Mich.) took the same view. He would support the bill because Gov. Patton had shown his faith by his wozini, and that Congress would thus increase its friends in the South. Mr. Drake opposed the bill, on the ground that the time had not yet come when they could judge of the repentance of rebels, nor will it until re construction is finished. • Mr. Bucksdew spoke in opposition to special legislation of this kind in individual cases. They should either repeal the disabling laws, or miti gate them if they do not operate well. Such bills as the present would operate unjustly in pre ferring such men as Patton, who was no more meritorious than many others. Mr. Johnson said, while he would vote'for the bill, he would prefer a general amnesty law which he hoped would not be long deferred. in the me sntime he would vote for such applications.

'1 be Horrible Burning Accident at Chattanooga--Two 'Voting Ladies Fa tally Burned. [Front the Chattanooga (Tenn.) Union, Jan. 21.] On Saturday night, about 11M o'clock, a fatal accident, occurred at the house of Thos. Daily, Esq, well-known resident of this city,which re sulted in tbe death of two estimableyoung ladis ; Miss Mary Daily and Miss Harrington. The young ladies bad been spending the afternoon-at Miss Daily's residence. They had gone out about eight P. M. to Miss Harrington's honsc,about two hundred yards distant, returning about eleven o'clock. The fire in the sitting•room had apparently ditd out, and the weather being very cold, the young ladies concluded to barn a little wood in the stove to warm themselves. The wood was procured and placed in the stove over the dead coals, and to make it tuna better, they concluded, in =evil moment, to ,our. some oil on the wood - h - efore - the 'wood was lighted. - Miss Daily went into the kitchen and came back with a large can of "Aurora Oil," containing about one gallon of the oil. The can had no spout, the means of pouring itl being a hole about inch and a half in diameter, in the to of the can. Miss Daily took the cork out of the can and held it over the top of the stove and commenced pouring the 011. Unfortu nately, the apparently, dead coals, were merely blackened on the surface; below the, red fire felt, tho touch of the oil, anffin an instant leaped out to meet it. In a moment of time the stream of flame .bad reached the can of oil, and the latter exploded, dashing the fiery liquid all over the room, enveloping the ladles in flames, and setting fire to the carpets, tapestry, and everything in the room. The ladles, frightened and amazed, rushed into each other's arms, then broke away for safety. Miss Daily rushed into an adjoining bedroom, I and threw herself on the bed in a vain attempt to put out the flames, but only succeeded in set ting fire to the bed clothes. She then rushed out again into the blazing room, was suffoeaten with the flames and smoke, and fell on the floor, from which she was rescued by the negro man attached to the house, who, alarmed by the explosion, had four successive times vainly attempted to enter the room, but was each time driven back by the smoke and fire. He finally succeeded in dashing in, and stumbling over the now insensible girl,. raised her up, and in one desperate leap was out of the apartment. Miss Harrington, on breaking away from her companion, , had blindly endeavored to escape from the room; arid after several ineffectual at tempts at madly groping for the door, had ran oni into the street all ablaze. A negro man, at tracted to the scene by the noise, arrived at this moment, and succeeded in tearing the clothes from the poor girl. Miss Daily was immediately carried to the house of a neighbor, and Miss Harrington taken to her father's residence. Medical aid was >at once summoned, and every attention that.. -leve ._:and skill co uld= render was nied to save the lives 'of the " ladles. But their fate *as sealed; the dread in halation of the flames had numbered their days. After an hour's time, they both became con scious, and continued so , during , the night. They were terribly burned, but, their last hours were quiet and peaceful. jßetween6 and 7 o'clock their spirits passed from earth, to their heavenly. Tho fire in the heroic / WU extinguished. ith tAt' littl WeeitY,, excepting the many ineffectual attchaPts"th enter the room. A dozen buCkets of water thrown in from the door extinguished what little fire remained after the oil had burned itself THE DAILY 1 CUBA. iIVENING BULLETIN.-PHILADELPIIIA, TUEDAY, JANUARY 28, 1868.
