2 - I0n«ly IWttCiVBMa. py Mite, vba r o -}'rom Kvery , / In: a momentaryA)i|M^nc4memory, a i friend of mine once-miggestea to me, the idea that Lady Macbeth’s exclamation in the Bleeping scene—“ The Thano of Fite had a wife: where is she now?”—was a conscieuce- Btricken reference to herself, and her own tost condition- Of course, the hypothecs was immediately abandoned on the that Macbeth never had been i Thane ot Fife,'! and that it la Macduff’s .slaughtered mate Lady Macbeth is dreaming of—the poordame who, with all her pretty chickens, was destroyed at one fell swoop by Mac beth’Bmmderous cruelty. , , ■ The conversation that ensued led me to inflect on this mistaken suggestion of my ftimid, as involving a much deeper mistake —in’ important psychological error. Not only the fact was not as suggested, but a fact of i&at nature—viz., an accusing return upon herself by Lady Macbeth—could not be. Xady, Macbeth, even in her sleep, has no qualms of conscience; her remorse takes none of the tenderer forms akin to repentance, nor the Weaker ones allied to fear, from the pur suit of which, the tortured soul, seeking where to hide Itself, not seldom escapes into the boundless wilderness of madness. A very able article, published some years agodh ; toe^d£tohaf , 'Jtct)fetu, : bn the cha racter of Lady Macbeth, insists much upon ah opinion that she died of remorse,' as some palliation of heir crimes, and mitigation of our detestation of them. That she died of wick edness would be,l think, a juster verdict. Bemorse is Consciousness of guilt—often, in deed, no'more akin to saving contrition than the faith of devils, whotremble, and believe, is to saving faith—but still conscio.usncss of guilt: and that I think Lady Macbeth never, had; though the unrecognized pressure of her great gtiilt drilled her. > I think her life was destroyed by sin,as by a disease of which She was unconscious; and that she died of a broken heart, while the impenetrable resolu tion of her wiU temained unbowed. The spirit was willing, but the; flesh was weak; the body can sin but so much other deadly passions besides those of vio lence ’and sensuality can wear away its fine tissues,' and undermine its wonderful fabric. ' The woman’s mortal frame suc cumbed to the tremendous weight of sin and suffering which her immortal soul had power to sustain; and, having destroyed its tempo ral house of earthly sojourn, that soul, unex hausted by its wickedness, went forth into its new abode of eternity. The nature of Lady Macbeth, even when prostrated in sleep before the Supreme Aven ger whom Blie keeps at bay daring her con scious hours by the exercise of her indomita ble will 'and Tesolute power ot purpose, is incapable of any salutaiy spasm of moral an guish; or hopeful paroxysm of mental horror. The,irreparable is still to her the rable,—“'What’s done cannot be undone: and her slumbering eyes see no more gbosls than her watchful waking ones believe in: “I tell yon yet again, Banquo is buried; he can not Coine out of his grave.” Never, even in her dreams, does any gracious sorrow smite from her stony heart the blessed brine of tears that wash away sin; never,even in her dream do the avenging furies lash her through purgatorial flames that burn away guilt; and the dreary but undismayed desolation in which her spirit abides forever is quite other than that darkness, however deep, which the soul acknowledges; and whence it may yet behold the breaking of a dawn shining far off from round the mercy seat. / The nightmare of a butcher (could a butcher deserve to be so visited for the un happy necessity of his calling) is more akin to the haunting's which beset the woman who has strangled conscience and all her brood of Eleading.angels, and deliberately araled her eart and mind against all those suggestions of beauty or fear which succor the vacilla ting Eense of right in the human soul with promptings less imperative than those of con science, but of flue subtle power sometimes to supplement her law.. justly is she haunted by “blood,” who, in the hour of her atrocities exclaims to her partner, when his appalled imagination reddens the whole ocean with the bloody hand he seeks to cleanse, “A little water clears us of this deed!” Therefore blood —the feeling of blood, the sight of blood, the stnell of blood—is the one ignoble hideous retribution which has dominion over her. Intruding a moral element of which she is conscious into Lady Macbeth’s puuishment is a capital error, because her punishment; in its very essence, consists *iu her infinite distance from all such influences. Macbeth, to the very end, may weep,and wring liis h inds, and tear liis hair, and gnash hi 9 teeth,ami be wail the lost estate of his soul, though with him, too,the dreadful process is one ofgradual . induration. For he retains the unutterable consciousness of a soul; he has a perception of having einned, of being fallen,.of having wanderod, of being lost; and so he cries to his physician for a remedy for that “wounded spirit,” heavier to bear than all other con ceivable sorrow: and utters, in words bit- terer than death, the doom of his own de serted, despised, dreaded, and detested old age. He may be visited to the end by those noble pangs which bear witness to the pre-eminent nobility of the nature he has desecrated, and sug gest a reascension, even from the bottom of that dread aby63 into which he has fallen, but from the depths of which he yet beholds the everlasting light which gives him' con sciousness of its darkness.' But nha may none of this: she may but feel, and see aud smell blood; and wonder at the unquenched stream that Bhe still wades in,^—“Who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him ? r —and fly, hunted through the nights by that “knocking at the door” which beats the wearied life at last out of her stony heart and seared impenetrable brain. ' 1 once read a pamphlet that made a very strong impression upon me, on the subject of the possible annihilation of the human soul as the consequence ol’ sin. •The author, supposing goodness to be near ness to God, and jbis to be the cause of vi tality in the soul, suggested the idea of. a gradual, voluntary departure from God, which should cause the gradual darkening aud li aal utter .extinction of the spirit. I confess that this Iheory of spiritual self-extinction through sin- seemed to me a thousand times more ap palling than the most terrific vision of ever lasting torment. Taking the view Ido of Lady Macbeth's character, I cannot accept the idea (held,! be lieve, by 1 her great representative, Mrs. Sid dons) that in the banquet scene the ghost of Uanquo,which appears to Macbath,ia seen at the same time by nis wife, but that, in conse -~ -rjnence-of-ber greater-command over- herself,- she not only exhibits no sign of perceiving the - -, apparition, but can,with its hideous form, and gesture within u few feet of her,rail at Macbadi in that language of scathing irony which combined with his own terror,‘ elicits lroui from him the incoherent and yet too danger ously .BlgnHicimt appeals with which .he agonizes ner aud a-mazes the court. To this supposition 1 must again object that lady--Macbeth is tno ghostrseor. She is Botof the temperament that admits of sueli mlttjHeSßoMj (she is incapable of Supernatural ! leiriStfr in proportion as Bhe is incapable of. spiritual influences; devils do not visibly te»pt, ; nor angels visibly minister to her and, moreover, i , hold that, as to , IMS* ipeeh .Banquo’e ghost at the '■ - banquettog-feble v#ld to ■■’Mr mature, tofHave ana stated Ip hen fierce®ockif§oL|ier npbftof£ terror, nature,'; 1 hdispypgjittaisimitiliea Law M#ft- ’ ’ betb all Shakespeare’s plays. ‘ That sue is godless, and i nibless in the pursuit of tho objects of he: ambition, does not make her such. Many men have been so; and she Sa that unusual and unnmiuble (but not altogether Unnatural) creature, a masculine woman, in the only real significance of that much misapplied epithet- Lady Macbeth was this' she possessed the qualities which generally characterize men, aad not women,—energy, decision, daring, unscrupulousness; ; a deficiency of imagination, a great preponderance of the positive and practical mental ele ments; a powerlul and rapid appreciation or w hat each, exigency of circumstance de manded, and the coolness and resolution .ne cessary for its immediate execution. Lady Macbeth’s Character has more of the. essentially manly nature in it than that ot Macbeth. The absence of imagination, to gether with a certain obtusoness of the ner vous system, is the condition, that goes to produce that rare quality —physical courage ■Which’ She posesses in a pre-eminent degree. This cofnbination of deficiencies is seldom found in men, infinitely seldomer in women; and ’ its invariable result is insensi bility to many things—among others, insensibility to danger. Lady Macbeth was nut so bloody as her husband, for she was by no means equally liable to fear; she would not have hesitated a mo nient. to commit any crime that she consid ered ' necessary for • her purposes, but she would always have known what were .and what were not necessary crimes. We find it difficult to imagine that, if she. had underta ken ihe murder of Banquo and Fleance, the latter would have been allowed to escape, and impossible to conceive that she . would have ordered the useless and impolitic slaughter of Macduff’s family and followers, after he toad„ fled to England, from a there rabid movement of impotent hatred and apprehension. ‘ She was never made Ravage by femorse, or cruel by terror. . There -is nothing that seems to me more false than the common estimate ofcruelty, as connected with the details of crime. Could the annals and statistics of murder be made to show the prevailing temper under which the most, atrocious crimes have been com mitted, there is little doubt that those which present the most revolting circumstances of cruelty would be fqund to have been perpe trated by men of more, rathei; than less, ner vous sensibility, or irritability, than the aver age; for it is precisely in such organizations that hatred, horror, fear, remorse, dismay and a certain blind, bloodthirsty rage, com bine under evil excitement to produce that species of delirium under the influence of which, as of some.infernal ecstacy, the most horrible atrocities are perpetrated. Lady Macbeth was of far- too powerful an organization to be liable to the frenzy of miogled emotions by which her wretched husband is assailed; and when, in the very first hour of her miserable exaltation, she perceives that the ashes of the Dead Sea are io lie henceforth her daily bread, when the" crown is placed upon her brow, and she feels that the “golden round” is lined with red-hot iron, she accepts the dis mal truth with one glanco of steady recogni tion : "Like some bold leer in a trance, Beholding all her own mischance, Mute—with a glassy countenance.'’ She looks down ihe dreary vista of the coming years, and, having admitted that “naught’s had, all’s spent,” dismisses her fate, without further comment,from consideration, and applies herself forthwith to encourage, cheer and succor, with the support of her superior strength, the finer yet feebler spirit of her husband. Iu denying lo Lady Macbeth all the pecu liar s-cnsibiliiies of her sex (for they are all included in ils pre-eminent characteristic, — the maternal instinct, —and there is no doubt that the illustration of the quality of her resolution by the assertion that she would have dashed her baby’s brains out, if she had sworn to do it, is no mere figure of speech, but very certain earnest) Shakespeare has not divested her of natural feeling to the degree of placing her without the pale of our common humanity. Her husband shrank from the idea of her hearing women like herself, but not ‘‘males,” oi whom he thought her a tit mother: and i she retains enough of the nature of tnankind, : if not Of womankind, to bring her within the > circle of our toleration, and make us accept I her as potisiblc. Thus the solitary positive ;■ instance of her sensibility has nothing ospe ' dally feminine about it. Her momentary ! relenting in the act of stabbing .Dunc-iin, j because he resembled her father as he slept, : is a touch of human tenderness by which ; most men might be overcome, while the I smearing her hands in the warm gore of the i slaughtered old man, is an act of physical I insensibility which not one w’oma’n out of a ! thousand would have had nerve or stomach : for : That Hhakespeare never imagined Binqno's j ghost to be visible to Lady Macbeth in the , banquet-bail seems to me abundantly proved ; (however infierentially) by the mode in which he has represented such apparitions as affect- ; ( inn all the men who in his dramas are sub- , jeeted to this supreme test of courage,—good ; men, whose minds are undisturbed by ■ remorse;, brave men, soldiers, . pre- , paved to face danger in every shape | (“ but that") in which they may i be called upon to "meet it.. For instance, ; take the demeanor of Horatio, Marcelltfs and Id Bernardo, throughout the scene so finely ex- !,'. pressive of their terror aud dismay at tho ap- j pearancc of the ghost, and in which the cli- I max is their precipitating themselves together towards the object of their horror, striking at it w ith their partisans; a wonderful represen tation of the eilect of fear upon creatures of a naturally courageous constitution, which Shakespeare has reproduced iu the ecstasy of terror with which Macbeth himself finally rushes npon the terrible vision which un mans him, ami drives it from before him with frantic outcries aud despairing gestures. It is no on frequent exhibition of fear in a courageous hoy lo ily at and strike the object of his dismay,—a sort oi‘ instinctive method of ascertaining ils nature, and so disarming ils ttiTors; ami these men are represented by Shakespeare as thus expressing the utmost impulse of a tear, to the intensity of which their winds hear ample witness. Horatio says; “it burrows me with fear and wonder.” Bernardo says to him: “How row, Horatio! you imnbie aud turn pale!” and Horatio, de scribing the vision and ils effect upon himself uf.d bis to Hamlet, — - j “Thrice he walked j liy tln ir oppress'd audlkac-sUrprised eyift " ! Vi Uliiu ids truncheon's length, whilst they, Jin- I mni . ■; Ah/iitit to jelly with the net if fear j ft.

When the same vision ' appears ’ to'Hamlet—a young rain with the noble spirit 01 a prince, a conscience void of all offence, and a heart yearning with itching tenderness toward the father whose beloved THE, BULLETIN —PHILADELPHIA, SATl7&pj^| ritfttea stands as his dye?,, •flad looked upon find ty/in-life—bpw.- kofishe accost it? ■ p|. f..; : ; ;S g’-v ■ hi “Whattflftytntemeqin? » ' ‘.That thou, <lmd cofy&aiSga in fcmnpWle.steel; . • • 'Kevielt’st lima thegflmp®kpfdp msidn, • Making night hidedo, and., we fodls of nature So horribly to &c. The second time that Hamlet sees his father’s j -ghost, when one might' suppose that .some-. thing of the horror attendant upon, such a i visitation would have been dispelled by the j previous experience, his mother thus depicts i -the anpearance that he presents to her: — • • Forth at jour eyes jour spirits: wildly peep; And, as the sleeping BOldiers In the alarm, Your bedded htur, uke life in excrements, Sturts up and stands on end.” What a description of the mere physical re vulsion with which living flesh and blood shrinks from the cold simulacrum of. life,— so like and so utterly Unlike,—so familiar ’ and yet so horribly strange! The agony is physi cal,—not of the soul; for “What can it do to that,. Being a thing immortal as itself ?” exclaims the undaunted spirit of the young man; and in the closet scene, with his mother, passionate pity and tenderness for his father are the only emotions Hamlet expresses with his lips, while his eyes start from their sockets, and his hair rears itself on his scalp, With the terror inspired by the proximity of that “gra cious figure-” . . In “Julius Caesar,’’the emotion experienced by Brutus at the sight of Caesar's ghost is, u possible.even more to the purpose. The spirit of the firm Homan, composed to peaceful meditation after his tender and sweet recon ciliation with his friend, and his exquisite kindness to his sleeny.young slave, is quietly directed to the subject of his study, when the ghost of Caesar appears to him, darkening by ‘ls presence the light of the taper by which he reads, and to which Shakspeare, aeeord ng to the superstition of his day, imparts his sensitiveness to the preternatural influ ence. Brutus, in questioning his awful visi tor, loses none of his stoical steadfastness of soul, and yet speaks of his blood running, cold, and his hair staring with the horror ot the unearthly visitation. Surely, haying thus depicted the eflect ot such an experience on such men a 3 Horatio, Hamlet, Brutus and Macbeth, Shakespeare can never have represented a woman, even though that woman was the bravest ot her sex, and almost of her kind, as subjected to a like ordeal and utterly unm’oved by it* An argument which appears to me conclusive on the point, however, is, that in the sleeping scene Laay Macbeth divulges nothing ol the kind; and, even ii it were possible to conceive her intrepidity equal to absolute silence and self-command under the intense and mingled terrors of the banquet scene with a perception of Banquo's. apparition, it is altogether im possible to imagine that the emotion she controlled then should not reveal itself in the hodr of those unconscious confessions when she involuntarily strips bare . the festering plagues of her bosom to the night and her appalled watchers, and in her ghastly slum bers, with the step and voice of some horrible automaton, moved by no human volition, but-a dire compelling necessity, acts over again the mysteries of iniquity with which she has-been familiar. But, on the contrary, while wringing from her handß the warm gore of the murdered Duncau, and draggiug, with the impotent effort of her agonized nightmare, ber husband away from the sound of the “knocking" which reverber ates still in the distracted chanibers of her brain, almost the last words she articulates are: “ I tell you yet again, Banquo is buried; he cannot come out of his grave.” Assuredly she never saw his ghost. I'am not inclined to agree, either, with the view which lends any special tenderness to Lady Macbeth's demeanor towards her hus band after the achievement of their bad emi nence. She is not a woman to waste words, any more than other means to ends; and, therefore, her refraining from all reproaches at the disastrous close of their great festival is perfectly consistent with the vehemence of her irony, so long as she could hope by its fierce stimulus to rouse Macbeth from the de lirium of tenor into which he is thrown bj' the sight of Banquo’s ghost. While urging her husband to the King’s murder, she uses, with all the power and weight she can give to it, the “valor of her tongue,” which she foresaw' in the first hour of receiving the written news of his advancement would be requisite, to “chastise'’ the irresolution of liis spirit and.the fluctuations of his purposes. She lias her end to gain by talking, and she talks till she does gain it; and in those moments of mortal agony, when his terrors threaten with annihilation the fabric of their lor mnes,—that fearful fabric, based on such infinite depths of guilt, ceuieuted with such costly blood,—when she secs him rush ing upon inevitable ruin, and losing every consciousness but that of his own crimes, she, like the rider whose horse, maddened with fear, is imperilling his own and that rider's existence, drives the rowels of her piercing irony into him, and with a hand ot iron guides, and urges, and lifts him over the danger. But, except in those supreme m stants, Where her purpose is to lash and gcJSd him past the obstruction of his own terrors, her habitual tone, from beginning to end, is of a sort of contemptuous compassion towards the husband whose moral superiority of nature she perceives and despises, as men not seldom put by the liner and truer view of duty of women, as too delicate lor common use, a weapon of- too fine a temper for worldly warfare. Her analysis of his .character while still holding in her hand his affectionate letter, her admonition to him that his face betrays the secret disturbance of his mind; her advice that he will commit the business of the King’s murder to her management, her grave and almoßt kind solicitude at his moody solitary brooding over the irretrievable past, and her compassionate suggestion at the close of the banquet scene,— “You want the season of all natures, —sleep,” when she must have seen the utter- bopelcs3- ness of long concealing crimes which the miserable murderer would himself inevitably reveal in some convulsion of ungovernable remorse, are all indications of her own sense of superior power over the man whose; ma ture wants the “illnesß” with which hers is so terribly endowed, who would “holily” that which he would “highly,” who would'not “play false,” and yet Would “wrongly win.” Nothing, indeed, can be more wonderfully perfect than Shakespeare's delineation of the evil nature of these two human souls—the evil-strength of the one and the evil'weakness of the other. . , : The woman’s wide-eyed, bold, collected leap into the abyss makes us gulp with ter ror; while we wateh the nWs • sit?&ingr shrinking, clinging, gradual slide ihtsJtjtoith a protracted agony akin to his own. In admirable harmony with the conception of both characters is the absence in the Case of Lady Macbeth of all the grotesquely ter rible supernatural machinery by widen .the imagination of Macbeth is assdiledkand .daunted. She readaof her huaband’s ehcotmtei with the witches, and the fulfilment of their . first prophecy; and yet, while the men who en botrater them (Banquo as much as Mdebeth) . ere struok and fascinated ,by the wild quaint- Hess of their yveird figures,—with thb descrip tion of which, it is evident Macbeth has opened his letter'to her,—her mind docs not dwell for a moment on these “weak ministers” of the great power of m raflificeffp&hicb )l|S (1%) ic«rteapersclf\M pugf "Bfe-thiubi OiovpperßitldMot’ her t .edit; ttgjff ■wl cMot inM»' 'mSrl^ : ’&averb£«li^e'fl^remßti l Jn||tl^p9;ot Hecate are played, and her phantasmagoric. 1 ) revel round their filthy caldron, without feel ing that these petty devils would.shrink ap palled avvay fromi' the presence •of the awful ■woman who hod made her bosom the throne ministers” who in their “sightless substance” attend on “natures, mischief.” „' ,?• v > . _ ‘ Jlor has, Shakespeare failed > to . show how well, up to a certain point, the :Deyil Berves those who servo him well. The whole-hearted wickedness of Lady Macbeth buys that ex emption from “present fears” and “horrible imaginings” which Macbeth's halt-allegi ance to right: cannot purchase for him. In one sense, good consciences—that is, tender ones —may be said to be the only bad ones; the very worst alone are those that hold their peace, and cease from clamoring. In sin, as in all other things, thoroughness has its re ward; and the reward is blindness to fear, deafness to remorse, hardness to good, and moral insensibility to moral torture the deadily gangrene instead of the agony of cauterization; a degradation below shame, fear, and pain. This point Lady Macbeth reaches at once, while from the first scene ot the play to the last the wounded soul of Macbeth writhes, and cries, and groans, overit3 own gradual deterioration. Inces sant returns upon himßclf and his own con dition, betray astat,e' of moral disquietude which is as iu-boding an omen of the spiritual state as the morbid feeling of his own pulse by a sickly self-observing invalid is of the physical condition: afid, from the beginning to the end of his career, the several stages of his progress in guilt are marked by his own bitter consciousness of it. First, the Btartled misgiving as to his'own motives: “This supernatural soliciting Canpot be ill,—cannot bo good.” Then the admission of the necessity for the treacherous cowardly.assumption 01, friendly hospitality, from'which the brave man’s na ture and soldier’s alike revolt: “False face must hide what the false heart must know.” Then the panic-stricken horror of the in sisting : - ■ " “But why could I not pronounce Amen i I bad most need of blessing, and Amen Stuck in my throat.” The vertigo of inevitable retribution :• “Glamis doth murder Bicep, And therefore Cawdor shall sleep no more. Macbeth Bhall sleep no more!” The utter misery of the question: “How is it with me, when cv'ry noise appalls me?” The intolerable bitterness of the thought: "For Ban quo’s issue have Ijiled mg breast. And mine eternal jtm:l given; Given to the common enemy of minkiud.” Later comes the consciousness of stony loss of fear aDd pity : The time has been Mv senses would have cooled to hoar a night Direness, familiar to my slaughterous thoughts, Cannot onco stir me!” After this, the dreary wretchedness of his detested and despised old ngeconfronts him : ‘‘And that which should accompany old age, As honor, love, obedience, troops of friends, I must not look to have.” Most wonderful of all is it, after reviewing the successive steps of this dire declension ol the man's moral nature, to turn back to his first acknowledgment of that Divine govern ment, that Supreme-Rule of Right, by which the deeds of men meet righteous retribution “ Here , even here, upon this bank and shoal of Time”; that unhesitating ‘confession of faith in the immutable justice and goodness of God with which he first,opens the debate in his bosom, and contrasts it With the des perate blasphemy which he utters in the hour of his soul's final overthrow, when he pro claims lilt—man’s life, the precious and mysterious object of God's moral govern ment- , , •• A the told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Sit/n!l'nlmi nothing /”■ < The'preservation of Macbctlr's dignity in:a degree sufficient to retain our sympathy, iu spite of the preponderance of his wife’s, na ture over his, depends on the two factsof his undoubted heroism in his relations with men, and his great tenderness for the womanwhose evil will is made powerful over his partly by his affection for her. It is remarkable that hardly one scene passes where they are brought together,in which he does not address 10 her some endearing appellation; and, from his first written words to her whom he calls'bis “Dearest partner of greatness,” to his pathetic appeal to her physician for some alleviation - of her moral plagues, a love of extreme strength and tender ness is constantly manifested in every address to or mention of her that he makes. lie seeks her sympathy alike in the season of his prosperous fortune and in the hour of his mental anguish: ‘‘Oh, full of scorpions is my mind, dear wife!” andinthis same-scenethere is a touch -of essentially manly reverence for the wo manly nature ot her who has so little of it, that deserves to be classed among Shake speare’s most exquisite inspiration; his re fusing to pollute his wife’s mind with the bloody horror of Banquo’s proposed mur der. ’ , “Be innocent of the knowledge, dearest chuck!” is a conception full of the tenderest and deepest reflneiheht, contrasting wonderfully with the hard, unhesitating cruelty of her immediate suggestion in reply to his: . “ Thou knbw’st that Banquo and hlsFleanee live, But in them Nature’s copy’s not cterne"; by which she clearly demonstrates that her own, wickedness not only keeps : pace with his, but has indeed, as in the business of the king’s murder, reached at a bound that goal towards which he has struggled by slow degrees. , At the end of the. banquet-scene he appeals to her for her opinion on the danger threat ened by Macduff’s contumacious refusal of their Invitation, and from first to last he so completely leans on her for support and solace in their miserable partnership of .guilt and woe, that when we hear the ominous words, , ■■ ' “My Lord, the Queen is dead!” we see him stagger under the blow which strikes from him the prop of that undaunted spirit, in whose valor he found the never-fail ing stimulus of his" owm ;; In the final encounter between Macbeth and the appointed avenger of blood, it appears to me that the suggestion of hiß want or perso nal courage, put-forward by some commen tators oh his character, is most triumphantly refuted.

He had no objection to the time Being made shorter still. Mr. Fessenden (lie.) moved to amend by making it ten days, and by inserting, after the •word “vacanoles 1 the words “occasioned by death or resignation.” The amendment was agreed to, and after a discussion as to the effect of the bill in repealing existing laws on the sub ject.

He deprecated the coarse the de bate had taken, and claimed that injustice had been done to the personal character of Mr. IheuL-ag, of which he spoke.highly, eulo gizing the modesty and gentlemanly feeling which had prompted him in refraining from appearing to urge his admission. 1 h Mr. Buckalew defended Mr. Thomas at length from the charges made against him, and claimed that the debate should have been confined to the report of the Committee; that nothing had ap peared to authorize the allusion, unless found in fact that Mr. Thomas had given his son #lOO when about to join the rebel army. .N r. Sherman of Ohio, agreed that they had no nvn’ to exclude Mr. Thomas from political reasons hat every legislative body had power to exclude per- BOES who would bring reproach upon it—« power the British House of Commons had often exercised.

Mr. Horton, t>r Indiana, followed, and he likewise mmbated the several arguments of Mr. Trumbull, and trgued that Mr. Thomas oonld not take the oath nmhfully, having given both aid and countenance to he rebellion. He asked what greater encouragement >r countenance conld be given to the rebellion than caving the government In the hour of Itu peril * Mr. Stewart, of Nevada, followed In opposition, rguing that if It had been proposed bytho South to onftscate Sir. Thomas’ property daring the war he oald have advanced good reasons against it In bis '<lio!i-conduct. Mr. Fowled, of Tennessee, defended the course of is colleague- in the other House (Colonel Stokes), evera! times held up as a justification of the admls !on of Mr. Thomas, and gave his reasons for voting a the negative. Mr. Drake, of Missouri, instanced, as a later prcco ent than that of the Stokes case, cited by Mr. Trum nll yesterday, the case of John Young Brown, whom tie House yesterday decliued to admit for disioval ordi spoken at the outbreak of the war- Mr. Tipton, of Nebraska, reiterated the considera ons which would Influence him in voting for the ad ilssion ot Mr. Thomas, and announced his intention 1 dose the debate on Monday; and hoped the vote mud not be further deferred.

Mr. Vaknswobtu moved to lay the hju on the ta ble.- Negatived— yeas 38, ndyß 89. . Mr. Bbomweel, of Illinois, closed tho discussion by an argument in support of the bill. _Mr. Bltleh stated that his information was that Harvey had entered into a bond of 810,000 with a Massachusetts mtti to assign the 1 patent to him; bat he subsequently sold it to the Providence Company for «12S,OOO.paylngihe 810,000 forfeit That explained why Mnesafchnsette was not in favor of paving any more money by way of royally to Rhode Island!^ Mr. Jenckib, of Bhode - Island, denied that the Pro vidence Company had obtained the patent lor any anch consideration.' Mr. Butler said ’ho had his information from a member of theHoqse, Mr. Washburn, of Massachu setts, who had himself made the bargain, and re ceived the $lO,OOO forfeit from Harvey. Mr. Btevehs, of Pennsylvania,: remarked that while he was a member of the Committee of ways and Means that committee investigated this matter for three years, and ascertained that the invention of screws had been mimopoUzecl by the Providence com. panv, and that an English company, which had been established in the United- States for the manufacture of wood screw*, had been bought up bv the Providence company. Mr. WAsnncns, of Massachusetts, opposed the hill, arguing tbatitwas for the,-benefit of one of pie greatest monopolies In the'country, and without any “tens ion of the patent it would take at least flvmjifclire to allow other companies to compete with the Ameri can Screw: Company, . >Mr. Van Wyck, of NewTork, opposed the bill, and related some facts published in the New York Ere nh.rj I‘ott, showtDg that the American Screw Com pany starling with an original cspltal of $57,000, had now a capital of 31,000,000. after making dividends estimated at $10,000,000. He asked whether the tn dmuy and labor of tho country should be any longer taxed to glut such a rich corporation. Mi. Bi’.o.twbli. said that he knew that it was on just such statements that the bill of last Congress was defeated; but although notice was given to all the manufacturers of wood screws In the country, no op position was made before the Commissioner of Patents re this hill. Mr. Butler said that be found from further inquiry that the. only mistake in bis statement was the assertion that Harvey had paid the forfeit of $lO,OOO. Be hud not Cone so..

He said that this ivas the first case in either House of Congress where the claim was set up ns in this case, that a man who received a minority of votes was entitled to the seat, because the man receiving the majority of votes was ineligible.,, i- -.nt'. ; In thla case Mr. Bros™, to whom the House re fused the eeat yesterday, received 8,692 votes, and the contestant, Samuel E. Smith, 2,816 votes, and the House was asked to declare that even-one of the. 8,692 voters knew whht the House had only decided -yestcrdajvthat John Y. Brown was ineligible to hold a eoat, arid therefore they had wilfullv thrown away thtir votes, and Smith was entitled to tie seat If any question had been definitely by the voters of the Second District of Kentucky, it was that they did not want to be represented in Congress by Mr. Smith Mr. Dawes presented the views in writing'of an absent member of the Committee on Elections, ( Mr. Shellabaiger,) which tjrcro read to the House.
