VIUTOIHA.
.01 the few queens who have reigned iu
England none have been distinguished fur,
womanly virtues as Victoria is. She ha's
won the eflection of her subjects and the res
pect of other peoples, by her excellence as a
daughter, a wife and a mother. There have
been, at times, bits of gossip concerning her,
circulated among ignorant and prejudiced
persons. But there has never been a well
grounded suspicion of her purity and good
ness. She will never figure in history as
Elizabeth does; but she is a much better . and
more womanly woman, and as a sovereign,
she suits the age she reigns in better than
the high-spirited Tudor princess would have
done.
A new volume from Queen Victoria's pe:i,
describing some of her visits to tho Highlands
with her husband and children, has just been
published by Harper eV, Brothers. Some ex
tracts that. appeared in the English papers,
before the American edition of the book was
published, have already been copied in this
paper. These are, after all, among the best
passages in the volume ; certainly they are
the best adapted for quotation in newspaper
columns. The book, as a whole, cannot be
called a superior literary production. There
at thousands of women in America, as well
as in England, who could write better books.
For, as there is uo royal road to learning, so
there is no royal endowment of genius. The
catalogue of royal authors, which that amus
ing but somewhat fiunkeyish gossip, Horace
Walpole, was able to make, was very small,
and their works were only noticed because
they were the works of royalty.
In their very freedom from literary preten
sion consists the charm of the two volumes of
personal history that Queen Victoria has per
mitted the public to see. The first was
made up, in great part, of letters relating to
her courtship and marriage. The second
consists entirely of extracts from her pri
vate diary, during her residence at Balmoral,
and during several "expeditions" that she
made in the Highlands of Scotland, in Ireland
and among the Channel Islands. Most of
these entries in the diary are the mere dry
narratives of an itinerary. There are, it is
true, occasional outbreaks of enthusiasm,
but they are,suggestive rather than descrip
tive, and they add, therefore, to one's liking
for the book, for they show that the diary
was meant for a personal memorandum book,
without any intention of creating an impres
sion upon the general public. There is no
thing like style in the composition. Any
woman of average education and intelligence
could write as well as Victoria; for the
Queen's English is quite common-place, and
plenty of her subjects could pick flaws in it.
But no one can help reading with interest
these personal records of a good woman,
placed by Providence supreme above all
other human creatures in one of the greatest
empires of the earth. The story of her love,
her marriage, her domestic joys and her sor
rows, has in it, perhaps, nothing surpassing
that of millions of other women who havebeen
married. But it is the story of a queen told by GRANT AND VANDERBILT.

by readers of • the present time. Imagine
with what interest people of this day would
read even a fragment of authentic auto
biography of Mary or Elizabeth, of England,
or vary Stuart, or Mary the consort of IVil
liaro, or even of dull, phlegmatic Anne.
Here, in two volumes, are given quite
minute accounts of the love, the courtship,
the marriage, and, the mode of living, away
from the palaces, of a queen who, while not
a peat political character, is better worthy
of an honorable place in history, as a woman,
than either of the queens we have named.
Here are even some fac simile
wood-epgrayings of sketches made by
the queen in her journeyings—a
stag brought down by a shot from the dear
prince; a quaint Welsh or Cornish costume;
a bit of landscape among the Highlands, or
the outline of a coast in the channel. They
are roughly made, but they are authentic,
and they help to illustrate the text, as the
text and drawings help to illustrate the char
acter of the author. Let malicious people
say what they please about Queen Victoria;
she is still the best sovereign England has
bad for many a day; and it is to be feared
ihat, in spite of her good teaching and ex
ample, the prince likely to emceed her
will be less worthy of the respect and love of
the people of Great Britain.
IrintiSITUAItIOM JEN-MEXICOr
since the overthrow of the bastard Empire in
!dude°, the execution of 11=in:titian, and
the complete restoration of the Republic, anti
the consequent vindication of the Monroe
Doctrine, the American people have ceased
to feel deeply interested hi Mexican affairs.
The fierce political struggle at homPt and the
often hopelessly incomprehensible ohatacter
of the agitations in Mexico, have • tended to
„eacourage this indifference, until now the
jurterican public read the telegrams from
Jusraz's capital with nearly as little interest
AB they do the obscure reports of revolutions
and wars among the smaller States of South
Amulet
But the politie4d situation in Mexico is not
only interesting, but Important. The Juarez
government, with the prestige gained by the
support giver4to it by the United States, is
rerhaps more firmly established than any
oer of the many administrations which have
h i stizt
con Bled the affairs of Mexico for many
years;;) it it is strengthened in this position
by the wisdorn,tact and liberality with which
it is conducted. But the people are afflicted
with a restlessness that has become chronic
frindulgence, and it has not disap
pointedulonagny careful observer that even under
the mild and generous sway of Juarez the tur
bulent spirits in several of the states have suc
eet did in creating great discontent, which, in
one of them, bas assumed the shape of actual
offensive revolution and defiance of the na
il( nal authority. \ , •
A rebellion is in active progress in Yucatan,
and President Juarez has brought all the force
of his Government to bear upon it to ensure
its speedy suppression. Large bodies of troops
have been sent to the disaffected district, and
some sharp lighting has resulted with
out any decided advantage being gained
by either side. Latest advices state that Sisal,
the principal seaport town of the State, was
undergoing a terrific bombardment, which
premised to level it with the ground, and this
would indicate that Juarez means work, and
is determined to break "the backbone of the
rebellion" as speedily as it can be done by
energetic fighting. It is asserted, with some
plausibility, that the venerable agitator, Santa
Anna,is the main-spring of this revolutionary
movement. The agitation, however, is not
confined to this single State. In Guatemala
several' disaffected military men are busy.or-.
ganizing an army for the purpose of making
war upon the neighboring State of Chiapas,
and an outbreak of the most alarming
character is daily expected in this direction.
In San Luis Potosi, also, there are symptoms
of revolt. The Legislature endeavored to
negotiate a loan; but the moneyed men, not
having absolute confidence in the integrity of
their representatives, refused to subscribe. A.
forced loan was then ordered, and this being
peremptorily refused by the merchants, seve
ral of them were thrown into prison, and an
intensely bitter feeling bad been consequently
engendered against the State government. In
addition to all this, the Republic is filled with
brigands, who commit acts of lawlessness
with impunity, so that no man's life or pro-'
perty is safe outside of the great towns.
This condition of affairs apparently does not
speak well for the eiliciency of the govern
ment, or promise much for . its permanence.
But it must not be forgotten that upon Ju
arez has fallen the task of organizing order
out of a chaos that has existed
. for nearly
forty years, and that, bad as matters are now,
they
, are much better than they have been at
any time durmg that period. Force, wielded
with careful discrimination, is needed to re
deem Mexico, and even then the work will be
tedious and difficult. Juarez has the power,
and his conduct,so far, seems to indicate that
he possesses sufficient wisdom for the task,
and it is only reasonable to believe that in his
hands Mexico will in the course of time be
come a worthy sister of the great Northern
Republic.
power in the worlds or, go - ar:1113 — political --
movements affect the nation, the principal
one. So that when it is announced that Mr-
Vanderbilt has withdrawn his support from
Gen. Grant because Gen. Grant would not
withdraw his support from Mr. Stanton,
it may be doubted whether General Grant's
chances for the Presidency are very materi
ally lessened by the defection. We can im
agine Mr. Vanderbilt sinking a railroad or
swamping a steamboat line by suddenly
standing from under it, but all the Vander
, hilts in America combined would have no
more effect for or against the election of Gen.
Grant than a child would have in controlling
the revolution of the earth. General Grant's
strength is purely a popular one. The people
are for him and it is in vain to be against
him. His nomination by the Republican
Convention and his election by an overwhelm
ing majority of the popular vote are facts as
certainly assured as anything future can be.
But there is just one element of significance
in Commodore Vanderbilt's defection. It
based upon General Grant's support of Sec
retary Stanton and, viewed in this light, it
contributes its mite in favor of the deserted
General. Neither. General. Grant nor the Re
publican party want any allies who do not go
with him, heart and soul, in his honest, bold,
brave upholding of an honest, bold and brave
servant of the people, like Edwin M. Stanton.
General Grant's support of Stanton is too in
jimately ranked with his defence of Sheridan
to be separated from it, and there his been nO
official act of his, apart from his military
achievements, which has so stirred the en
thusiasm of the people in his favor, as this
very tearless letter to the President over which'
Mr. Vantlerbilt basso unfortunatelYitnmbled.
To be thoroughly consistent, it would per
haps he well for the veteran millionaire Com
modore to start a new anti-Stanton-Grant
Cooper Institute movement, and try conclu
sions with his money-bags against the great
tide of popular enthusiasui in Grant's favor.

TILE SIDE.VVIII.K QU'r SIICION.
A very striking example of a generally pre
vailingr condition of things, in contrast with
the beginning of a reform which has fre
quently been urged in these columns, is now
presented on the north side of Chestnut
between Eleventh and 'Twelfth streets. As
is generally understood, as soon as the leases
on the old dwellings which form Girard row
expire, the buildings are converted • into
stores. Several have been finished and they
have been handsomely fitted up and tenanted,
while others are in the transition state of
partial conversion from dwelling to store.
In making these improvements the marble
door-steps are in every case removed, and nu
obstruction is allowed to project beyond
the lines of the buildings. Where the
change has been made there is a' fine
wide side-walk, on which- a regiment of
infantry might march with full pla
toons; where no change has been made,great
masses of stone steps project over nearly two
thirds of the footway, and with the aid of
hitching-posts, stepping-stones and other in
genious cramping contrivances that are scat
tered along the curb-stones, there is scarcely
sufficient room left for a brace of full-dressed
ladies to pass abreast, and with the lively
probability of the lady upon the inside being
brought up "all standing" by the entangle
ment of her crinoline in a "scraper." Phila
delphia has attained a great success in the
art of blocking up streets that are already
- entirely too - -iiiilow for the throngs of people
who crowd them. Along the house fronts
great masses of atone steps, some of which
might serve for the main dooiways of the
Coliseum, project ; there are cellar
doors that would almost roof in an
ordinary dwelling; areas that make a
yawning chasm of half the' side-walk; porti
coes large enough for a respectable Grecian
temple; show-cases that are almost capa
cious enough to hold half the stock in trade
of their proprietors; signs that flare out
like wings from the flanks of store doors; and
last, though not least of nuisances, the in
evitable "scraper," that, both in respect to
pattern and location denotes high art in the
contriving of a thing that can be most
thoroughly in the way and most effectual in
tripping up the heels and tearing the clothing
of suffering humanity. After the nuisances
just described have usurped the lion's share
of the foot-way, the curly-stone range of ob
structions claim their share of the common
spoil. Awning posts, hitching posts, step
ping stones, and that peculiarly Philadelphia
institution, the ash barrel, take up a
good portion of what the steps and.area-rail
ings have left, and in many places, pedestri
ans have scarcely more than room enough for
a single file to march through these manifold
and multiform sidewalk obstructions. Trees
and tree-boxes, that are very desirable things .
in the retired streets of the city, are out of
place on the business thoroughfares, and
when they are placed upon them they come
within the category of street nuisances and
sidewalk obstructions.
It would be unreasonable to expect City
Councils to reform forthwith these nuisances,
that are inheritances of the old time when
Philadelphia was a town of a few thousand
inhabitants. But partial reforms could readily
be brought about, as is demonstrated by the
clean sweep that has been made of all side
walk obstructions in the Girard Row im
provement. An ordinance forbidding the
construction of any new obstructions
beyond the lawful house line of
the street, or along the curb-
Stones (with reasonable limitations in re_
spect to neighborhoods and localities) would
have a most wholesome effect, and in time it
would work a great reform, for which pos
terity Would bless their city grandfathers who
set the ball in motion. Such an ordinance
cannot be passed too soon.' The anti-frame
house and the court-forbiddirig laws were
passed half a century later than they should
have been for the good of the city; and if
those who had the conduct of public affairs
half a century ago could have seen the city
and the sidewalks as they are in 1868, and
had acted on the hint, there would have been
such wholsome regulations made as would
enable the PhilMilpUans wholi - f& under the_
happy administration of Mayor McMichael to
enjoy a fair share of elbow-room and a rea
sonable immunity from broken shins as they
lass through the streets.

MARIANA RITA.
Our standard Havana cigars, just offered and branded
as above-contain only the higheet grade Vueita Abajo
Havana Tobacco, imported by ourselves for our own use.
Owing to its high cost such teat cannot produce "low
priced" cigars, but only fine cigars, such as we now offer,
equal to the best imported, at .5 to 40 per cent. less cost.
Each of our partners has had years of practical experi
ence in this manufacture at Havana-that of our senior
partner alone embracing over thirty-eight consecutive
years, a portion of which were spent in the Vuelta Abajo
district itself. Owing to exceseiee import duties on. cf.
gars, we determined to make this experience available in
the manufacture of fine cigars here, and, to have every.
thing under our own control, we established our factory
at our place of business, where it is under the constant
personal supervision of two members of our firm.
We secured (early last summer) a full supply of the
finest VueltaAbajo Leaf (of WA cropLeufficierit to carry us
through writhout venation tir quality until the next in
coming crop (of 1867). of which we nave arranged to se

mer.
Having the necessary experience in the leaf and its
proper use; holding a supply of the right material, and
being determined to use it; we-feel sure that (out of 1866
I crop) no better cigars can be made at Havana than we
are making here under "Mariana Rita" brand.
All strictly firstclass factories there use this Leaf
from the Vuelta Abajo district-a tract of about 60 to 70
miles long by less than half that breadth-and all the
leaf cultivated in this space is of hish grade, without
much difference of flavor, the chief difference being that
the leaf from some Vegas (or farina) yields more cigars
than that from others. We never found difficulty in ob-'
Mining the hest of this leaf by paying a high price for it.
Certain would-be oracles, who have perhaps sojourned
a few week& at Havana, and walked through the more
tir eminent factories -pretend to unusual wisdom respect
lug Bavaria Cigars, and intimate that special manufac
turers "grow their own leaf," or "monopolize alt that is

the leaf," and other equally Incorrect information.
o believe our experience has well taught us the ins and

and the only "aacrets" at Havana, are knowledge of the
Leaf, unite° with the will and means to secure it, and
then to twist it in its purity. free from all artificial flavor

Dreadini Railroad Accident.
(Special Dee patch to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.)
January 31.—A serious accident
occurred about two o'clock this morning on the
Pennsylvania Railroad, owing to the breaking of
a rail. The fast line coming east, which left
Pittsburgh at 7.20 last evening, had reached Mill
Creek, one hundred and fifty-six miles east of
Pittsburgh, when, owing to the cause above
stated, the four last cars were thrown from the
track. Two of them were sleeping-cars, one des
tined for New York by way of Allentown, and
one destined for Philadelphia.
Immediately upon - leaving the track they were
overturned down an embankment and caught
fire. Both of the sleeping-cars and one of the
ordinary passenger cars were consumed. The
loss of life was confined to ok woman, who ap
pears to have been killed by the heeldent, and was
afterwards partly burned. One other woman
was injured, but it is believed, not dangerously,
and eeveral men were slightly burned. The train
consisted of eight cars, and they contained but
sixty-seven passengers, which may partially ac
count for the small loss of life.
The locomotive and first four cars remained
upon the track and.after the - accident; resumed
their way east with the passengers. The remains
of the dead were carefully coffined,and the injuries
of the wounded were attended to at MitHin by Dr.
Miller, of Harrisburg, veho was immediately
despatched to the scene of the disaster by Su
perintendent Black.
There is reason to believe that the train broke
a ran In water over it. It was running at ordi
nary speed, having received special instructions
at a station which it had passed six miles before
not to make up any time. It was about 30 min
utes late and was In charge of Conductor Chase.
The sudden change in the weather yesterday and
the intensity of the cold made the iron brittle
and no amount of care could prevent the break
ing of rails. To guard against this the whole
road. is divided into sections and patrolled by
wate.men both day and night.
The remainder of the train with the rest of the
passengers arrived at Harrisburg at ten o'clock
this morning. The name of. the only person
killed is Mrs. Anna Duggen, late of No. 167 Penn
sylvania avenue, Pittsburgh.
The husband of this woman and her brother,
together with Patrick Hughes and a party, were
on their way to California. .The husband had his
bands and face slightly burned. The rest of the
party escaped.
The following are injured, but Dr. Rutherford,
of Harrisburg, reports none of their injuries
dangekons, belng principally painful bruises, but
no hones broken. Some of them design resuming
their journey immediately: Mrs. Georgia Adams,
Philadelphia: J. Hansen, Indianapolis; Mrs.
Mary Crouse, Kansas; W. Wiekel, New York;
Herbert Noonson, Jr., Philadelphia; W. W.
Powell, New Jersey; L Chase, Michigan: Mrs.
Gen. Rodman and daughter, Illinois: J. Busser,
Lancaster.
The first rail which broke was broken in half
and the next one into five pieces, showing that
the track had been in perfect condition until the
passage of the locomotive and the first four cars
over it.
As an innovation deserving the Mutest praise,
the railroad authorities furnished every aid to the
- Press Agent to obtain full particulars of the acci
dent immediately after the occurrence, thereby
preventing exaggerated accounts from obtaining
publicity.

From Kentucky. --
CINCINNATI, Jan. 30.—1 n Frankfort, Kentucky,
yesterday, a negro committed an outrage on, an
Irish girl, fifteen years ol< age, and afterwards
threw ter over an embankment at the railroad
tunnel, breaking her shoulder-blade, and other
wise injuring her. The negro was arrested and
lodged in jell. To-night a crowd of infuriated
citizens assembled and forced the jail, taking the
negro and hanging him to a tree op top of the
weelpice where the young lady was Thrown over.
Several shots were fired into the body while hang
ing. The Governor knew nothing of the object
of the mob until they had taken the prisoner
from the jail, when le ordered the Adjutant-
General and assistants to rescue the prisoner, but
without effect.

Jeff. Davis having been nominated for the pre.
odoney of the Texan Pacific Railroad, the Hous
ton Tekrrapk thus enthuslattleally endorses the
nomination of the arch-traltor:
The Picastae'norainates Mr. Davie as the Read
*1 an orgaratation to build tlin , fillireadi through
ilOlO New 00811118 by way of Houstaila the
cific. If Jeff. Davis lamed° the head of such an
organization, we, that is the writer of this, are a
candidate for thaagency of the concern in, Texas
and the adjacent States, including California. If
we do not gbt more land s and stock eubscribed to
the road than ever was subscribed
. to a road be•
in a new country, in the tame length of
timeove promise to give up all our claim to good
judgment.
Such a pouring in of help to build the road,
from all the South, and, indeed, from, the whole
Union, as would be witnessed, would astonish
the world. With many, it would grow out of
old war feeling; with a much larger number, It
would grow out of sincere respect for the grand
genius and historical greatness of the man. Men
who have always differed from him In politics
would help. Men who fought against his armies
would help. Henry Ward Beecher would preach a
sermon in Plymouth Church In behalf of the en
terprise. The blew York Tribune would give the
whole (force of its mighty columns to its std.
The London Times would stir all the respecta
bility and money of England in its behalf.
Dickens would wake English speaking Christen
dom with lectures on the subject. In Texas, and
all along the route to the Pacific, the people
would put whatever of their lands Mr. Davis
might desire at his disposal. And the
Southern women generally, what would
they not do? Every remnant of the jewelry they
tg lig
so freely contribn during the war they would
invest in stock. d speaking more gravely,
Mr. Davis from his h h standing as a gentleman
—and he is the prince of gentlemen in the
whole world‘-could make any necestasy negotia
tion in Europe. Why not stop all vexatious and
profitless prosecutions against him, and let hint
do this great work for the country and the world?
JPIR ,NEW YORK.
NEW Yonx, Jan. 31.—The steamship Co
lumbla has been seized by the United States

contract system as applied to canals, and com
merce generally, and a committee was appointed
to visit Albany and urge the repeal of the laws

The ferry-boat Pacific collided with the steam
tug James A. Wright, yesterday morning,. in the

A fashionable wedding took place in the Broad
way Tabernacle last evening. Mr. Robert .1.
Clyde was married to Miss Julie M. Loper,
daughter of C. S. Loper, a retired merchant of
this city. The ceremony was 'performed by the
Rev. Dr. J. P. Thompson, D. b.. assisted by the
Rev. Dr. • John Thompson, D. D. • The church
was crowded to overflowing, while upward of a
hundred coaches awaited at the doers. The bride
was richly dressevil, as also were her bridesmaids.
After the ceremony was performed-a grand re
ception took place at the residence of the bride
groom's fatker on Lexington avenue, corner of
Thirty-fifth street.
THE COURTS.
--- OVICII AND TY.ILMLNER.--Judges Allison and
Peiree.—ln the case of Wm. J. Ovens, charged
with the murder of Ccl. Riddle, the jury came
into con - -esterday afternoon and announced
that there was no possibility of agreeing. The
' Court refused to discharge them and they again
retired. No verdict had been rendered up to the
time. zur.report closed.
In the case of Margaret Anspach, charged with .
the murder of her Infant, the defence opened this
morning and set up thrit the prisoner was of
feeble Intellect, verging toward insanity - that her
only living child Ftrtakes of the same character
istics, and is now in an institution for feeble
minded children. Rev. Daniel Washbnrne, one
of the witnesses for the defence, who had known
the prisoner at Pottsville, testified that her father
was the bedlamite of the neighborhood, and that
her mother was very feeble-minded. The case
was not concluded.
Nil , ' Paws—Justice Strong.—Jane E. Caldwell
vs. the Catawissa Railroad Company. Before re
ported. In this case the jury yesterday returned
a verdict for plaintiff for $ll,OOO.
Co - Jimmy PLEas—Judges Ludlow and Brewster.
—This morning the exceptions of the property
owners at League Island to the award of damages
by the jury were argued. The several owners
have filed exceptions, but one will indicate the
I ground upon which the Court is asked to set aside
the award:
I 1. Because the price of seven hundred dollars
per acre awarded for the meadow land within the
banks is inadequate and insufficient.
2. Because the price of two hundred and
twenty-five dollars per acre, awarded for the
marsh or cripple land outside of the banks, is in
adequate and insufficient.
8. Because the discrepancy In the award be
tween the cripple or marsh land and the meadow
land Is unreasonable and unjust. The evidence
before the jury shows that the cripple or marsh
land could be successfully banked in, recovered
from overflow, and made into meadow land at a
cost not exceeding fifty to one hundred dollars
per acre.
4. Because the Act of Assembly authorizing
the City of Philadelphia to take and pay for the
said ground for the purpose of giving it to the
United States, is unconstitutional and void.
The case was under argument all the morning.

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.
XlLitt COngress-Seconfi SeesMu
• Wasedsoron, Jan. 31
Szetaxz.—The Chair laid before theMenate a
communication from Edwin N. Stanton, trans
witting, In compliance with lavv, a list of con
tracts made by officers of the Engineer Corps last
year.
Alao, a joint resolution from the Ohio Legida
tore rescinding the Constitional Amendment.
Mr. Sherman (Ohio) denied that It was a just
expression of the will of the people of Ohio.
Mr. Sumner (Mass.) followed, claiming that it
was of no effect, as twenty-two States had already
ratified the amendment, and that a State could
not withdraw its approval once given.
Mr. Johnson (Md.) agreed that the amend
ment was part of the Constitution, but could
not agree that a State could not reverse its
action.
The matter was then referred to the Judiciary
Committee.
On motion of Mr. Patterson (N. IL) the
Senate took up the bill in addition to the act
regulating the tenure of certain civil offices.
The-question-was on-MrsSumner's---amendment,--
providing that the bill shall not do away with
foreign agents of the State Department.
Mr. Patterson moved to substitute an amend
ment, providing that such agents shall not ex
ceed five in number, to be paid out of the con
tingent fund of the State Department.
Mr. Sumner thought the number should not be
restricted to 5.
Mr. Patterson thought that should be enough
for tbe secret service of the government, and de
nounced the system of employing agents on ac
count of political service.
Mr. Sumner suggested laying over the bill till
Monday, and that in the meantime they could in
quire at the State Department as to the necessary
number.
Mr. Anthony (R. I.) opposed such restrictions
on the part of Congress.
Muss—Mr. Dodge (Iowa) presented resolu
tions of the supervisors of Polk county, lowa in
relation to the rights of American citizens abroad.
Referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs.
On motion of Mr. !Blaine, the Secretary of the
Treasury was directed to furnish information as
to the amount of property seized for. frauds on
the revenue, the amount realized therefrom and
the status of pinding suits.
Mr. Pike (Me.) asked leave to offer a resolu
tion directing the Secretary of the Treasury to
report immediately,:'why he has made no reply
to the House resolution' of November 21, 1867,
relative to the employment of detectives, special
agents and special inspectors.
Mr. Holman (Ind.) objected on the ground that
the Secretary had not had sufficient time to an
swer that inquiry.
Mr. Eggleston (Ohio) presented a joint resolu
tion of the General Assembly of the State of
Olio, withdrawing the ratification of that State
to the proposed fourteenth Constitutional amend
ment, refusing the same, and requesting the
-President,,-the presiding-- officer-of-the_ Senate_
and the Speaker of the House of Representatives
to return to the Governor all papers on tile with
either, giving the assent of the State of Ohio to
such proposed amendment.
The resolution having been read in full, Mr.
Eggleston moved that the resolution be printed
and referred to the Judiciary Committee. He
said it was doubtful whether the parties called on
for such papers had a right to return them to the
Governor of Ohio. He also desired to
say, in the same connection, that the
Legislature of Ohio in passing such joint resolu
tions had gone against the wishes of the people
of that State. That there had been recently an
election in one of the Congressional districts
there, where that iniquity had been presented
before the people, and that thd result of the elec
tion -was partly owing to that action of the
Legiels lure.
Mr. Washburne (Ill.) suggested to Mr. Eggles
ton that he modify his motion so as to instruct
the Judiciary Committee to report on the ques
tion of law, whether a State has a right to' with
draw its assent.
Mr. Eggleaton adopted the suggestion, and
modified the motion accordingly. He then moved
the previous question.
Mr. Stevens (Pa.) addressed the chair.
The Speaker asked Mr. gggleston whether he
withdrew the previous question to allow the gen
tlemari from Pennsylvania to make a remark.
• Mr. Eggleston declined, saying it was not ne
cessary to speak on the question, as the resolu
tions spoke for themselves.
Mr. Stevens said he rose to a question of order.
He did not know whether it was too late to ob
ject to the reception of the paper.
Pennsylvania Legislature.
ELuuttsnuno, Jan. al.
SENATE.—The following petitions were pre
sented:
Mr. Worthington, of Chester, one from the
Medical Society of Pennsylvania for more ex
tended privileges for the care and treatment of

Mr. Connell, one confirming certain rights of

Mr. Glatz, one providing that Its time for

•Mr. Burnett, of Monroe, one incorporating the
Lehigh and Easton Railway, a link in the chain
from the Pennsylvania coal fields to New England.
Mr. Diese, of Clinton, from the Judiciary Com
mittee, reported an act •to repeal the law com
pelling the admission of iiegroes in the cars. The
following Is the bill:
1k it enacted, That the act approved March 22d,
1867, entitled "an act making it an offence to ex-.
elude negroes•from the railroad care," is hereby
repealed.
Mr. Kleckner, of Philadelphia, said that nine
tenths of the people of Philadelphia were in
favor of the negroes riding in the care.
Mr. Diese, in behalf of the "Democrats, said
that he did not believe one-half of them Were in
favor of it.
. _
Mr. Clark,of Warren (Rep.),moyed to refer the
bill back to the Judiciary Committee, which was
agreed to by a party vote of ayes 42 (Republi
cans), and noes 89 (Democrats).
. Various townships in Northampton and Lan
caster counties presented petitions in favor of
submitting_the question of license or no license
to a vote of the people.
Mr. Diem, of Clinton, from the Judiciary Com
mittee, reported another bill similar to the above,
prohibiting negroes from riding in the cars.
Mr. Mann,,of Potter, said that the majority of
the committee had not agreed to the bill but that
the Democrats who were on the committee bad
happened to find themselves in power in conse
quence of the necessary absence of some of the
Republicans. Re considered that the bill ought
to be refex red back to the committee.
Mr. Clark, of Warren, moved to recommit to
the Judiciary Committee, and the previous ques
tion having been called and, sustained, this was
agreed to.

that ought to be taken to relieve the wants of the
country and to increase the confidence in the sta

Soon after assembling to-day the House took

should.not be called upon to pay Russia seven

to gait the ambition of the Secretary of State.
The Morning hour having expired, the bill was

On motion of Mr. Morrill (Me.), an adjournment

- Mr. Howe (Wis.) a' dressed the Senate, after
regretting that his speech had been delayed until
the chiefs of the Republican party having
spoken there was no enemy left to meet.
What little political character he had
achieved had come from observing; and avoiding
tne shoals and shifting currents into which his
colleague (Doolittle) had got. He thought he
had thus obained some reputation for political
sagacity. The only two points these oppo
nents dared make against the Republican party
were, first, negro enfranchisement; and, second
that they opposed the Lincoln and Johnson
policy. It was of interest to examine that Sena
tor's views, as he made them a pretext for de
serting his former principles. He quoted from
Mr. Doolittle's remarks in regard to what he said
in the proposed measure.

THE 11. SUPREME COURT.
The MeArdle Case.
The ItKehxdle Cane•
[Special Despatch to the Philadelphia mine . Dseelmf
WASILIMOTON, tial3llll7 31st.—The MeArdle ceps
was called np in the Supreme Court this after
noon. Judge Hughes appeared and entered a
motion to have the Cortrt dismiss the case on the
. ground of want of jurisdiction. The Court sig
nified its willingness to hear the argument in
support of this motion, and Judge Hughes pro
ceeded to state the position of the , case, as he
said, for the information of the Court.
fie said that the jurisdiction of the Court ex
tends only to cases coming up in regular form of
appeal from the United States District Courts,
and from regularly constituted State Courts.
Under the acts of Congress, February sth, 1867,
under which this case is brought up, he main
tained that the-Supreme Court-has -ne-jitriistile-
tion, because the statute does not confer it :
If it has no jurisdiction, the only thing to ; be
done is to dismiss the case. He then proceeded
to inquire whether the terms of the act of Feb.'
nary 6th give any application to the case, and
also whether the late rebel States were in such a
condition as to warrant an appeal being taken
from them to the Supreme Court.
The appeal in the case was founded, he said,
upon the assumption that the reconstruction acts
of Congress were .unconstitutional. That was the
pivot upon which the case turned. In support
of this he read from the petition of McArdle, and
also the return to the writ of habeas corpus.. He
claimed that the purport of the reconstruction
acts excludes the idea that the question of recon
struction was to be a football between the United
States Courts and Congress.
Judge Hughes was followed by J. S. Black,
who delivered a political harangue on State
Rlghth and the unconstitutionality of the recon
struction act. He admitted that if SicArdie was
legally held by the military authorities the Court
has no jurisdiction. Black finished his argument
at 3 o'clock, when the Court adjourned, previou.s
to which the Chief Justice announced that the
case would be continued next Friday.
