TNEW PUBUOATIOKS. ' J. B. Lippincott & Co. hove jtisf published abeautlfully printed volume of t)ho “Annals «f the United States Cbriati&mOoihmission. ” This narrative of the ! labors % this famous agency baa been prepared by the Rev. Lemuel Moss, of Lewisbnrg University, the Home Secrete*? bf the Commission, and he has done his yvork thoroughly and well. It trace’s out the origin ’of the Christian Com mission, as it into o rg®n-. ized form from the disjointed and almost discordant elements of Christian aor in befcdf of the soldiers of the Union. The story of its early difficulties and struggles is the enthusiasm of one who had been an activo agent in this' great the Government during the years of the rebellion. The Christian Commission and the Sanitary Commission were two of the most astonish, ing productions of the war, and they stand unparalleled in all past history, in their design and extent and wonderful success^ The Christian Commission was organized Movemher loth, 18(51, and closed its labors Fcbrualy''lolh, 18(56, thus covering a period of ajiltle more than four year?. During this time tire total receipts in cash and other values amounted to $0,291,107. <5Bl The following of the principal items of distribu tion: 9r.,0(5G boxes of stores and publications; 1,466,7*8 Bible's and Testaments; 1,370,953 Hynlh and' Psalm-books;, 8,808,062 “Knap sack'boohs”; 7(57,801 magazines and pam phlets ; 18,120,002 religious newspapers; 39, - 104,243' pages of tracts. The hos pital’ work ‘ of " the Commission is also hilly detailed* and the volume is filled with: interesting incidents in all the various departments of the work. The mass of doc umentary. and other matter which Mr. Moss has so ably brought into the connected shipe of these “Annals” forms a most valuable por tion of the history of the war, and is pre sented by the publishers jn a most attractive form of paper, type and binding. The vol ume is prefaced by a. finely-executed and very’ faithful likeness of Mr. George H. Stuart, the President of the Christian Com mission. • The publisher who, in these days of trashy novels, introduces to the reading public a really good book of the kind, is assuredly en titled to thanks and encouragement. These we claim for Messrs. Lippincott & Co., who have just published a very excellent English novel,“The White Rose,” by G. Whyte Mel ville,-author of “Kate Coventry” and. one or two other very, readable hooks. “The White Rose” la a soubriquet given to a gentle Eng lish girl, whose life, and love, and sorrow, the story most touchingly depicts. The plot is so skilfully arranged as to awaken and un tain intense interest; and the various charac ters are endowed with an individuality which is a great: charm to the render who’ wearies of the stereotyped lovers, fathers and wives of the ordinary novel. The book abounds with beautiful sentiments, beautifully expressed, and its moral tone is undeniably good. We tako pleasure in commending it to the public. English translations of Dante are consid ered proofs of scholarship as well as of poetic talent. After all, there is none more correct, and,-in general,more satisfactory than Cary’s. A new edition of this old but excellent Eng lish version of the great Italian’s epic—the Inferno, the Burgatorio and the Paradixo —has just been issued by D. Appleton & Co., and a copy has come to us from Mr. G. W. Pitcher, SOS Chestnut street. This edition has the advantage over the recent more pre tentious ones of having the three parts of the Divina Commedia ail in one volume, and that small and convenient for reading. Eev. Henry Francis Cary, A. M., the translator, was one of the best students of Dante in in England. His sketch of the poet’s life and his notes to the poems add to the value of his translation. T. B. Peterson «fc Brothers have just pub lished “Great Expectations,” in the series of their “People’s Edition” of Dickens. This is a handsome., duodecimo edition, on clear paper and good type, with twelve illustra trations by McLenan. The same house publishes “Little Dorrit,” another volume of t heir “Dickens for the Mil lion,” complete for thirty-five cents. Also, the first volume of a cheap edition of the Waverly Novels, to be-completed in 20 vol umes, at twenty-five cents per volume. The first volume contains “Wavorly” complete. “Dawn” is the name of a new novel recently published by Adams & Co., Boston. It is Ml Of a bad style of transcendental spirilu.il ism, expressed in questionable grammar, and by impossible characters and incidents; It may lie set down'as the crQde performauce of some new beginner in novel-writing who has had the wisdom to leave the title-page blank, It will be well for the writer to pre serve the incognito until something better than such trash as “Dawn” is produced. For sale by G, W. Pitcher. King & Baird, No. (507 Sansom street, have brought out a neat and cheap edition ol “Simpson’s Life of Stephen Girard,” which was originally published soon after the death of the “Merchant and Mariner.” The volume Is particularly acceptable at this time when the management of the institution which was the great Abject of Mr. Girard’s thoughtful care engages so large a share of public at tention!

The age they lived in wanted portraits and imitations —furniture portraits, and mii tatioas of Claude and Teniers; above all, it insisted on cabinet pictures; the artist was no longer to decorated Cyclopean churches like . St. Peters, or the cathedral at Seville, but boudoirs. The genius of art, that in Cim abne’s time emerged from the leaden jar hauled out.of the Dead Sea of Oblivion by Giotto’s sturdy hand, and rose till it touched the sun with one hand and the moon with the other, planting one foot on the earth and the other on the morning star, had now shrunk down again to within two inches of its old prison—it had served Heaven, it was now to work at silver filigree and mosaic upon earth —a new phase of this Ariel’s servitude, to man had arrived. Among dead European painters we can ouly see two; they are Hogarth and Turner. They , alone exhausted their special world; the one the social life of his own day, and the passions of human nature; the other, the sce nery of England, and all the more accessible parts of Europe. As both these great workers and thinkers are, dead, they ought to be beyond the reach of our envy; let us, therefore, do them jus tice. When we want to know if a painter is worthy of Ta European fame, we always' try him by this drop of test acid: would his pic tures please Moldavians, Icelanders, persons unacquainted with our history, manners, and language ? Yes; Hogarth’s and Turner’s would. Show a Finlander, capable of appre ciating art, Turner’s “Old Temeraire towed to her last moorings,” even if he could not see the pathoß of the old age of the war-ship, he would be lost in admiration at the twilight effect, the keen young moen, the pearly haze, the misty blue of the river-reaches, the gor geous last flush of the sunset. He might not care to know that that grand picture was sug gested to Turner by Stanfield at a Greenwich dinner; but he would hike off his hat (if he had such a possession), and say, “I bow the head, for here is an emanation of God’s greatest ■ gift to man—genius. This man was a teacher, only a little lower than the angels.” ' So, too, if you handed a Kamscliatkan Ho garth’s “Gambling House,” he would say, “Well, 1 don’t know if these men are Jews, dr Romans, or Turks, or Greeks; but this is ] the work of a great satirist. They are gamb ling. as we do, for tallotw candles, lumps of ' whales’blubber, harpoons and walrus teeth; Bee the agony, the madness, and the misery; why, that madman with the. bald head and clenched teeth looks like Kyakoonah looked yesterday when I won his canoe and his last fur coat; and there is a mati left, moping by die flic, thinking of robbery and murder, like that ll iei who lost his ship at cards at Irkutsk j last fall, and then ran a muck through the fair I and was cut to pieces by the Russian sailors. Yes, the All-Beer, the All-Father, has sent this man to warn and to instruct the world.” If Hogarth's prints were put up for sale at the Novgorod fairs, do you think that in a few years there would be a Tartar’s felt tent from Keakter to the Great Wall of China without a “Rake’s Progress” or an “Idle Apprentice” in it?—we trow not. That universality of appreciation is the finest homage of genius; London and To bolsk, the Duke of York’s Column and the North Pole, know genius when they see it depend upon,that. Men want no aquafortis , to tost that sdrt of gold. No one worships pinchbeck; no one adores German silver, i though they may perhaps tolerate them for a ■ j time. Hogarth and Turner were too great to have Imitators. They stand alone. They 5 founded no schools. The Juvenal and the Claude of England—nay, more than the Ju venal and higher than the Claude—with a narrower but.truer purpose than the lloinan, wilt a wider grasp of sight and truth than the native of Lorraine. Both the Eng lishman and the Frenchman had clearly-de fined ideals, and they worked them grandly out. What did .Hogarth do? Well, he did two things; be fixed on canvas and ' copper for ever—the age of George ll.—its good and evil, its folly and wisdom,' its joys and sor rows, its bullies, bubbles^’rakes, madmen, beaux, projectors, gamblers, gin-drinkers, cbaii men, soldiers, sailors, shoeblacks, rtiilk girls, sUoeVhagsand children, live for Ub forever. But ne did more than this, stem flagellator of vice, great carnifex of folly and sin that be was; he showed us the tenderness of human love mourning over the wreck and degradation of its idol; he showed us the de spair of guilt,' the never-dying anguish of re morse ; he showed us folly’s bubbles glitter ing and radiant in the air, and the bitter, sad drops into which they subside. He upset pleasure's tinsel cup, and .threw down before its victims the feculent dregs that lay at the bottom. His iasb cut into the fleßh not only of Torn Id er gambling on the tombstone, hut the wicki-d lord who died under the sword of the maddened husband in the'dismal room after the dangerous masquerade. No one painted better the happiness of pure love, no one has shown so well the direct and indirect tortures pf remorse. ; Tjrriuir, too,, stood on a, high mountain, and saw the glory and beauty of the world as it spread at his feet; that beauty, that glbry he interpreted to his blinder fellows: the Alp peal; and the calm meadowy tbe toiront ana -the, brook, the. leafy Devonshire shore amf the Titan piprs of- emerald Cornish headlands —he cast them all upon 1 his canvas, and fixed them there in Iraq , foam and color forever. In the intervals, of peace he traversed unlocked. Europe, and showed us it as Byron had done, in. its most beautiful aspoets. Eng land was likfttt child curious to turn over its new picture-book. Never did human eyes receive and retain sueb recollection of clouds, seas and distances as Turner’s. Never was there such a seer of Nature. Guyp bathed in perpptual sunshine; Claude lingered in a pretfy hut unreal Arcadia; but Turner was sq various, , ; V That lie seemed to be, < j Npt one, liut all mankind’s epitome.” ~rA flagman <ju tlm Northora Central Rail road, Maryland, wap recently Iro'/.en to dentti On bln poet ■; , i|E' DAILY; °* NatsiMilfpcd Cltl* ■ • *”-> >i zens. m p* 1 ;’ Tie Committee on EoreigmMaute yesterday ! agieef #t>n the following bC« 9 : ■for .the one heretofore reptSKed’l-hy •$»<?«& General Banks, the chairmatnbf the'commit tce, will report it to the House atjthp earliest opportunity: „ vVr” •...

Another Speech from the President. , A Committee representing the City Councils of Baltimore called at the Executive Mansion yester day, for the purpose of presenting a series ot resolutions complimentary to the President, re ccntly adopted by that body. , ' The delegation was introduced by Charles E. Phelps, of Maryland, and the resolutions were presented by Henry Duvall, President of the First Board of the Baltimore City Councils. Other gentlemen also made short speeches, to which the President, in response, expressed thanks lor the compliment tendered, as follows: I am profoundly thankful for this expression of approval, by the Councils of the city of Balti more, of my otiicial conduct as the chief execu tive officer of the nation. This manifestation of confidence lrotn tho citizens of Baltimore is at this time peculiarly acceptable and gratifying. Our country is now in the midst of grave perils, and our freo institutions ore more endangered now than they were when, during the rebellion, onr armies were struggling for the Republic in the field. In this critical condition of public af fairs-, it behooves every citizen who feels an in terest in the preservation of constitutional liberty to consider that ours is a government of law, and to require of our legislators that when a great measure is proposed tho first inquiry shall be, does it conform to the Constitution which they have solemnly’sworn to support? It would be the greatest of victories if the public mind, car ried back within the pale of the Constitution, wonid demand that all legislation should be strictly tested by the organic law. The idea that the Constitution no longer exists, or that although existing, laws must be made outside of its pro visions, must ultimately lead us .to despotism and tyranny. If the judicial and Executive branches are to be broken down, and the govern ment resolved into, and placed under the control of the legislative department, if the right and the destinies of this great country are to ire trans ferred to the hands of a few whose will alone is to be the measure of their pbwer, onr republican institutions will soon yield to the most absolute despotism ever witnessed by tho world. The struggle in which I have been compelled to en gage has not been (or my own aggrandizement. My sole aim has been to bring back the govern ment to the plain principles of the Constitu tion, and if I could accomplish that ob ject, the measure of my ambition would indeed be filled to overflowing. That great end achieved, it would-be the highest pleasure of my life, making my reverence to the people and giv ing my thanks to Ileaven, to yield my aspira tions to others. I repeat, that the encourage ment given me on this occasion iB very accepta j ble. The stoutest heart, when surrounded by doubt, and menaced with perils, needs counte nance and support. The kind expressions of ap woval of the City Council of Baltimore, sincerely appreciated, will be remembered with gratitude as long as life shall last.- - iMmbWMOT.-i 3 HIiAIOEEi’HIA,THt]TISPAY,IEB||P»,«ft, 1868, CLOTHING.

He disavowed any aesiro to per vert the evidence In the case of Mr. Thomas, or to fa vor a decision on grounds outride of the law of the land, as charged uporf Senators by Mr. Trumbull. He would try to show whf) It w a* that sought to pervert testimony or tnpnresfc truth. _ • ■ He read from tne testimony ot Sir. Thomas before the committee, a statement .that he called at Mr. Thompson* tSecretary of the Interior) htrase in ISOI, where be found Cobb and Floyd, (very auspictona company at that time, Mr. Howard said,) bat he. did not recollect ahr conversation on Impending troubles, nor did he recollect of cvct hearing them egress an opinion on the eobject. He also testified that he had accepted the position ot of the TrosLUry because ot long intimacy with the President, and that he awd resigned hia place so ely becaase of the Presi dent listening to statements by New York bankets that public credit wonld suffer by Mr. Thomas' con tinuation in office. Yet ft was tn proof that he still enjoyed the confidence of Mr. Buchanan, who bad re fused to listen to the stories of those men, or to allow them to interfere with'the selection of hia Cabinet. Mr. Howard claimed that ibis alleged motive was inconsistent with tho state of things mentioned, as well as with the letters of resignation, and he styled ft an arriirf rtensee— a mere pretext He quoted a letter of Mr. Buchanan In reply to Mr. Thompson* letter of resignation, stating that the communication of the South Carolina commissioners was considered by the Cabinet on January 2, Itol, and that he (Mr. Buchan an) elated then that all was over, and reinforcements must'be sent. ) .... On the Bth Mr. Thomas resigned; because of that decision. On the 11th Mr. Thomas stated hr his tetter of resignation that ho oonld not agree with the President in thg measures adopted with regard to South Carolina. The great-measure of that time was the recovering of Fort Sumter, and Mr. Thomas' lan guage could have been addressed to nothing else. Was not this better evidence than that given by Mr. Thomas six years afterwards? Which side then sup- E reseed the evidence, as intimated by the Senator from lllnoie (Mr. Trnmbuli). who had rested his defense of Mr. Thomas upon the verbal testimony before the committee, and ended discussion of the motives that led to tbe writing of that letter.' Mr. Tnonnoio, asserted that he had alluded to th iso occurrences and drawn inferences from them, wheth er correct or not. Mr. Howabd continued, saying the Senate should not indulge in such daugcrona enarges against other etenators, nnS proceeded to dtscues and comment upon other points ot the testimony. In reply to Mr. John son's suggestion yesterday, that tbe resignation was caused by merciful feelings toward the poor soldiers and sailors of the Stqr of the West, he said it was a novel view, and one which Mr. Thomas had neglected to take either in his letter of resignation, or in his tes timony before the committee. Be again argued that war really existed when Mf. Thomas resigned, and quoted Vattet and other au thorities to show what constituted the: existence of war, which he said was not a judicial question, hut a question of facte, and he suggested that Mr. Trum bull consider whether on that question he bad not in his sptech yesterday himself perverted the testimony and suppressed the truth in this and other particulars. He condemned as in exceedingly bad taste the com parison by that Senator of the act of .Mr. Thoniasin. giving money tobls son,, to the act of Congress in appropriating money to care for rebel prisoners,Jboth having.been aid to tbe rebels,: He doubted, whether the Boys In Blue wonld listen Complacently to that comparison. I Mr,' Bomheb, of Massachusetts, withdrew, hie amendment, saying it had accomplished its purpose. Mr. Conkling, of New York, offered a substitute that; inthe judgment of the Senate,Philip F.Thogms, Senator elect from Maryland,'cannot with truth take tbe oath gresented by the act of Congress approved Alter some discuselon as to the technical effect of the amendment, during which . . Mr. CoHKiitio Bald It covered the whole ground, but If it was not found to be effective In ■ preventing Mr. Thomas from taking the oath, a formal resolution wonld follow, as a matter of course. , Mr. Dbake called for theresdlng of his amendment, heretofore proposed, that Mr. Thomas, having given aid. etc., to persons engaged in armed hostility to the United States, he is not entitled to take the oath of office or to hold a seat in this body. - Mr. CoSKUSto said that being anamendment to Mr. Sumner's amendment* it foil wlttothe withdrawal of ttftt amendments ‘ To meet the view of BcnatorB, he would modify hia amendment by adding at the end, “and that therefore he be not allowed to take such oath.” . . Mr. Howe, of Wisconsin, would not care to have his constituents, or any body else, suppose that he took the view that Mr. Thomas was a fit pjsrson tobe qdme a Senator of tho United States, or that he _was a* eminently loyal man. Be dissented, however, from the claim by some Senators that the Senate should judgenot onlyof legal qualifications, bqt of personal fitness for the office, and he contended that it Mr. Thomas had the legal qnallficatlone, Maryland, as a State, had the right to send bim here. Mr. Howe proceeded to elaborate this view, heretofore taken by him, saying he accepted all the consequences of the principle, and would vote to udmit Jeff Davis, if "sent by a State,-as denying that admission 'waa pnnlshtng the State,-not the Inaividußl, and they were here under powers cleMly deflned by the Constitution, outside of which thoy should u*t go. . „, , , ' Mr. CoNti JfSS asked whether, If Jesse D. Bright had been successful tn the rdoout Kontucky electtan, the Senate wotud admit him, a man who had been ex pelled from this body? , . 1 Mr. Howe said ho had voted for that expulsion, but If Bright came hero to-morrow with proper creden tials he would vote to admit him. ' ' Mr. Somneb asked whether ho would let Bright take tbe oath. , . Mr. Howe replied in tho affirmative, but mid what he would do alteiwaidswas another question. He continued his argument, closing by saying be feared Uie future result to the State ,fcc represented it toll prcecdcntwestablished, .Hy ,s oJ the 8«»to rttMallvesi by tool ' Coußtfttttfbiito choose ttenitore, ami dcuoanclog the mi whether a Senator-elect hul the constitutional quahfl catione, »nd was willing to comply with the Oohstltu tlonacd Outlaws. ■ ' j - Mr. CramftW, to t'eply to Mr. Howe’s view, that a State had an Inherent right to choone itt> own repre sentatives, no-matter what their (knees, said, that Sen ator had suctoedcd In convincing hi® more firmly than before of the fall right of the Senate to judge of the fitness of its members. He aleo replldd tothe re marks of Mr. Davis, whose views, be said, had been more clearly expressed by the Senator from- Pennsyl vania (Mr Bnckalew). Hc(Mr. COnnesafhad never, been a Bepnblican, and was a Democrat to-day. De mocracy, pure and simple, was h good thing, and he,. having ftlw;a.ve regarded slavery aB a crime, had parted from the party because of the stand it took id tho war. He disavowed, for himself and the Rooublican party, ' anytpattisan motives in their action oh tnls question. The Democracy had been throughout the war and: were now- partisans.' He proceeded to denounce, in aovero terms, the course of Mr. Thomas during, the war, and said that, whilo ho sat here, ho would never Wte to admit such men. He saw danger In it. PUr lhg the'war ho said the devil had a mortgage on the State of Maryland, and now the mortgage had been foreclosed, and.this was one of the consequences. Mr.- Buckalew denied having charged Senators with beiiig influenced by political considerations, and stated what he did say. He said serious and solemn considerations were involved in the question, which he hoped would influence them in their action. Mr. Doskmho said that, after consideration, it was deemed heat to withdraw his amendment, and allow a vole to be taken on tho original resolution. Mr. Drake having also moved his contemplated amendment, called for tho yeas and nays on the reso- Mr. Johnson said he felt constrained to add some thing to his remarks to closing .the debate, in consc -ononce of comments on views he had submitted yes terdav. He replied" to Mr; Howard's speech, siylng that Senator had again indulged to Indelicate language: to representing air. Thomas as a man devoid of all honor, willing not only to perjore himself in order to obtain admission, bat to commit the higher crime of ; suborning Ms son'to commit that offense. That Senator did not know tho character of the man - whom be aspersed, and be (Mr. Johnson) conld only, attribute the course of the Senator whom he estimated at his rCal worth of intellect and of heart, to a sort of! temporary madness, temporary, because when better ; acquainted with the true character of the man he' would doubtless regret having made the assault. '• Mr. Johnson again asserted that Mr. Thomas had; won the esteem of all who knew him to every aitua- ; tion he bad held, as a frank and bold, honest and to*! tellleentman, and a patriot to the true ' sense of the ; term. He had no doubt that his colleague could take the oath with as much truth as could the Senators • from Michigan (Mr. Howard), or California (Mr. Con ness.) To rehut the charge of Mr. Howard, that to regard to the complicity of Mr. Thomaa with Cobb, ■ ana Thompson, &sd Floyd, -he recalled to notice a claim for8400,(00 or $500,000 by one De Groot for bricks furnished to the government to this city. In re gard to which Mr. Buchanan callcd.fora readjust ment of the account by the Secretary of War, Mr. Floyd, the work having been tinder his charge, who - then pretended to readjust it, and drew his warrant on Mr. Thomas, Secretary of the Treasury, for f 119,000, which he claimed to be a balance due the • It was rumored that Floyd was interested in the claim. Mr. Thomas refused to sign It; wncreupon Floyd wrote him a letter; which the Clerk read, at the insmnceofMr. Johnson, and to which Floyd Insists on the payment of the amount, and on thus being saved further annoyance on the subject. Mr. Thomas then having read an editorial to the New York jCnAt/nr, charging fraud to that adjustment of account, deter mined not to sanction it, and told Floyd to his face the account should never be paid through hlm,yet this man was charged by Senators with dishonesty; and this, too, though no man charged that be bad not faithfully ncconnteufor ever dollar of public money while in the Treasury, and though he had left it as he went In. a poor man-this, too, though with power totxanster all the funds under his charge to the South. He had not done so; but on the contrary, had transferred from St Louis—to a State then gravitating towards seces sion—B3so,ooo to New York, to meet the wants of the the'urache had been elected toreprafcnt Maryland, no man bad heard him utter a word against the government of his country. The Senator from Michigan should be warned against indulging in met* suspicion by the result of an investigation into the troth of a charge made by him On certain in formation, that Mr. Thomas had transferred funds Of the government to-the South.) to -a treasonable conspiracy With Cobb, the] Assistant Treasurer, Mr. Cisco having - indignantly denied St, and asserted that Mr. Thomas had done everything possible to preserve the credit of the government ; Mr. Johnson proceeded to discuss the question of the existence of war at the time of the resignation, and quoted from Mr. Lincolns inaugural the passage commencing, “The government will not assail yon,” addressed to the South, and ' asked whether those who claimed that flagrant war existed at that time knew better than their honored President, who had sought to avertltaa a dire calamity J He said that at the dose of the war the universal desolation showed why Mr. Lincoln, and every man of generous heart, looked on civil war as a great calamity, and strove to avert it by any means consistent with duty. Gentlemen might now say that the result from the first was certain. He (Mr. Johnson ) remembered when he and others pres ent trembled for the result, and with what solicitude they looked for the action of England and France: not from mimnn>y fear, but because, under other circum stances, the Union might have been disselved, and hut for the humane character and good disposition to ward us of the Queen-of England, prompting her to resolve that her government should do nothing to lead to the overthrow of this government. . " No man could tell w hat might have happened. He had not feared tbe remit, but dreaded the Btate of things that must follow In necessitating the employ ment of all the available means of the North. That inaugural had been construed by Borne to announce a war policy, and liy others a policy of peace. He quoted a resolution of Mr Douglas, of March 15,1861. Inquiring into the condition ot the forts of the houth at that time, and whether it was advisable for the administration to retain or repossess them. Yet nobody doubted the loyalty of that atateemau. Mr. Cameron, who was certainly loyal as heerctary ot VS|ar when Captain Buchanan resigned his posi tion at the head of the Navy-yard here, had accepted tbe resignation. Even General Lee was permitted to resign, without question by that Secretary. Mr. Camekon said, misapprehending the remark to apply to Quartermaster Robert Johnson, it had been reported then that he was about to resign because of distrust of him by the Administration, and he (Mr. Cameron) sent for him and told him the story was un founded. and desired him to continue, bnt that officer then informed him regrettnlly that he had taken steps from which he could not recede. Mr. Johnson informed the Senator of his misappre hension, and said he had always considered the gentle man had made a mistake. .... Mr. Camebon admitted the mistake, hut said he had afterwnres atoned for that mistake by airestinc the Legislature of Maryland. Mr. Johnson said the Legislature of Maryland never did any harto, while General Lee had done an im mense deal, and be did not doubt Mr. Cameron would have arrested Lee to a moment,lf he had had a chance, bnt had never suspected that he would act perfidiously. Mr. Johnson asked whether tbe Senator spoke from his own knowledge, or from Information from a third partyl Mr. Cascebon had learned it from a gentleman in whom be had confidence, and he had no doubt of its . truth. Mr. Johnson doubted its. truth very much, [A ; laugh:] ' Gentlemen might langh; but he would in form the individual, who indulged in merriment (Mr. Conness) th»t General Lee was us honorable a maD as any maitto be found in the State of California. Mr. Comixss did not donbt that wub the Senator’s opinion;but it was not his. Mr. Johnson said he was willing to have the state ment go to tbe country. Mr.CoNHBss wnsalso. ; Mr. Johnson then quoted from the opinion of the Supreme Court to the prize cases, that Congress could not declare war against a State by virtue of any clause In thfeDonstitution, and said if Mr.; Thomas had, as ; charged against him,concurred to Buchanan's view,he ' was supported by the Supreme Court. » Mr. Conness said he had always regarded that claim •of Buchanan’s ks contemptible. ~ ' Mr. Johnson Bald the Supreme Court had ratified it. : Mr. Conness had reference only to the claim of Bu ; ebanan ss to the ground of his refusal to make war. : He concurred to the opinion of the Bupreme Court. , Mr. Johnson, continued, arguing that establishing :this precedent by excluding Mr. Thomas would lead ito unheard pf dangers, and he implored them to cou ! eider whether it might not return to plague the in ventor, and 10 avoid anything tending to continue the present demoralizing condition of things, but rather to let bygones he bygones, and to. take by the hand where they could do it without violating their convic tion of duty, those who differed from Them in opin ion.'' ~ The resolution to admit Mr. Thomas was then voted down as follows: .

Mr. Judd asked whether it would apply to a person who after having paid the full penalty in . dieted, as imprisonment ior 20 years, afterwards came to this country. Mr. Wilson replied that it certainly could not be. so construed. . The bill was passed without a division. The House then proceeded to dispose of the amendments. 39 in number, reported from the Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union to the Legislative, Executive and Judicial appropriation bill. . , ■ Mr. Washburne OH.), acting chairman of the Committee on Appropriations, withdrew the amendment pending* at the adjournment of the Houee yesterday. ..... , Thc iirst questioiuon which the yeas and nays were caUcd was on the amendment adding twenty per cent, to the impropriations for the employes of each House, Mr. Washburne opposing it, and Its supporters contending that it only carries out ! existing laws which make the increase perma j Dent.

Referred to the Commit tee on Roles. ‘ Aranr APPROPRIATION BILL. The House, at 1:45 p. m., went Into Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union. Mr. Washbcrs, ot Wisconsin, in the chair, on the army appropriation bilk The bill appropriates, In the aggregate, $33,082,- (j:>3. The following are the principal appropriations: Pav of the army, $15,000,000; commutation of officers' subsistence. $2,133,431; medical end hospital depart ment $200.(00: Qnartenmsters’ Department, regular supplies', $50,0(0,000: Onartermaetcr-General and inci dental expenses, $20,000,(00; transportation of the army. $5,000,000: quarters for officers and troops, 82,- ( I 'I (00: ordnance service.B2oo,ooo; arsenal and armory at Rock Island. Illinois, $380,000. and repairs of forti fi< atiors, $200,000. Mr. V ood, of New York, inquired whether General Grant's idea of economy was that the army should tost over thirty-three millions to a time of profound ix-r.ee. Mr. Blake replied that the Question of reducing the army would dc brought before the House very toon, adding that there never had been a time when eur.li a relatively small sum was required for the army as under the admlni.«tration of General Grant. The bill appropriated less than half a million per regiment, •whereas tae old army cost a million or more per ; regiment, the million being in gold and the half million ■in currency. . . ' • Mr. Wood asked whether ever before, far a time of profound peace, the army had cost thirty-three mil lion?. Mr. Blaine replied that before the war twenty sc-, en millions had been asked for an army of nineteen regiments, while, now only thirty-three millions was asked for an army of sixty regiments. Mr, Wood pressed the point that he was rifjbt in saying that this is the largest sum ever asked for the arrnv in time of peace. Mr. Blaine said it was, and that under Democratic administration a regiment cost more than double in gold w list a regiment now cost injpaper under General Grant's administration.; Mr. Pile made a point of order in tbe proviso attached to the item for the pay of the army and for the reduction ot the army. Mr. Blaine consented that the proviso should be struck out at the point, and then he moved it at the end of the bill. _ ... The proviso as modified is ns follows: Provided that the expenditure of the money herein appropri ated Bhall he limited and controlled by the following rendition, viz.: until o’herwise ordered by law, no new commission shall be ißsued in any regiment to those who arc* by law entitled to appointments as second lieutenants by graduation at the United States Military Accdemv; but the provision shall not be con strued to deprive' any officer of whatever promotion may be open to him by the occurrence of vacancies among his superiors in rank. Mr. Pile made the point of order that this was in dependent legislation, and therefore not to order in an appropriation bill. Tbe Chaiksian overruled the point of order. ’ The proviso gave rise to considerable discussion. 'Messrs. Looan; Pile and WASHEtmN of Indiana, op posing it on the ground of Its favoritism to West Point cadets, and Mr. b'cnHNCK opposing lt us being ’an attempt to legislate generally on appropriation bills, which he considered entirely wrong. Mr. Blaine asked Mr. Schenck whether he was in 'favor of maintaining the army at its present strength of sixty regiments? 1 ... Mr. Schenck replied that ho was In favor of retain -iDg the army at its present strength till matters were 'settled, which did notseem very likely to be settled ‘for a year or two. He believed that there was a general (disposition, as soon as the condition of tho country ■would admit, to resort to some system of reduction ot Ithe array, but what he objected to was that a pleco of (that reform which would render something else neces sary heiesftcr should bo thruSt into the appropriation Ibill. The question should be left to the Appropriation Committee. ' - . 1 Debate was closed on tho amendment, and on a vote by tellers the amendment was agreed to, yeas 54 to nays 43. „ , Mr. Wood, of New York, .referring to the previous dialogue between himself and Mr. Blaine, said that lie f onna that the aggregate amount of the army; appro priation bill for the year ending June 'BO, 1801, was kmlv 810,489,188, against 838,000,000 appropriated In this bill. He suggested, also, that altfiougu this bill -provided ostensibly for sixty regiment, none of them were nearly full. . . ; Mr. Blaine admlttted that they were not, having (been, with the exception of the cavalry regiments, re duced to the minimum by order of General Grant, i Mr. Wood inquired what the minimum was. ~' - Mt- Blaine replied (fiat,the pwn :to a company,'which would make to the aggregate ; ‘about 42. 000 mcu. , ' . , j Mr Wood called attention to the fact that the bill appropriated over $35,000,000 for an army of 42, COO ; m Mr, Pile, of Missouri, asked Mr. Blaine whether the proviso which he had offered was favored hy Gcn 'eralDrant, remarktegthatlt did notaccoru with the 'General’s views as submitted to the Committee on ' M M?J?!^n?s rß repHed that be had this morning, at twelveo'olpck, submitted to General Grant the pro- Wbo to the printed bill, but that fie objected to apeci 'fstog tho number of regiments to which the army 'should,be reduced, and that he (Mr.'Blaine) had then land there written, according to Goneral Gram’s dicta hion, the proviso which the committee'had adopted, ilt wealths sume exactly and literally, verbatim et liter •atiim etpunctuatim. Was the gentleman (Wr. Pile) 'satisfied, or did he wish to raise a question of veracity ’with bim on that nlhtement? . w. Mr. Pile said ha did not. iELPHIA THtfSWSftAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1868, -Injtepiy.tokeonploofaiiesttonkbf aftrrewro,Mr, • BlaihV? henictcrlzedit aft badfastcitttfce gehtlemen Mom Misfcmri and Illinois (Messrs.

(The gentle man from Illinois had gone ol£ with a good deal of temper about something. Mr. LooAN hoped Mr. Blaine would withdraw the word “temper.” p.augbier.] Mr. Blaise repeated the words “a good deal of tem per,"and denied having charged Mr. Logan with jeal ousy of West Point. He had simply said that while he nad no prejudice against West Point, he had no jealonsy of it. Tbe gentleman could mot, if he tried, with fever So much temper, get him into it quarrel here. • Mr. BuTLF.n, of Muasachusette, as one member Q tbe Committee on Appropriations, said he did not wish to be made responsible for tho proviso, for it had never been communicated to him. He wished to wash his hands of it. and to say that the country had fallen on evil times when the army was to be cut an, or cut down, at the request or under the direction of any of ficer Of the United States, The army had been put to the hands of the representatives of the people, and the last man who ought to influence those representatives an to tbe strength of the army wa3 the General of the army. ' The civil and military power slionld be kept distinct. He trusted he might say so much without any impnta tlon of bad taste or bad faith toward any one. Buch a precedent was one which In future might prove fatal to the liberties of the country. Tho fathers of the Bcpnblic bad been careful to guard against it by al lowing nobody except the President of the United States to give advice or instructions to Conuress. Mr. Blaine expressed the hope that it would never bo considered derogatory to the character of the first officer of the army to recommend a reduction of the military forco. Mr. B ctleb asked where to the Constitution any right of the Genera) of the Army could bo found to recommend anything to Congress ? Mr. Blaine said fie was not speaking shout the Consiitution. If the General were recommending an increase of the military force,’ there might be some ground for jealonsy and sensitiveness, but; when he recommended its rednctlon, he could see no cause for sensitiveness oy alarm.. ■ . Mr. Pile, in reference to Mr. Blaine’s remarks as to the bad taste of obtruding General Grant’s name in tho discussion, said; that the violation of good taste had been on the part of the gentleman (Mr. Blaine) himself. , Mr. Bctleb invited Mr. Pile to state exactly, what General Grant did recommend to the Committee on Mlltary Affairs. ’ \ Mr. Pile declined to do so. , „ Finally the discussion was closed, and the Com mittee proceeded with the other portions of the bill. The item appropriating $380,000 for the arsenal and armory at Rock Island gave rise to considerable dis cussion. It was agreed to. Mr. Van Wyck, of New York, moved to amend by adding the following proviso: That no money appro priated by this act shall lie used to pay tor any new cannon or,Email arms. Adopted. COJUICNICATIONS Without disposing of the bill, the Committee rose, and The Speaker presented a comm uni cation from the Secretary of thqTreisury, relative to the transfer to the Interior Department, of jurisdiction over certain Indian matters now exercised by the Treasury De partment.

GENERAL SHERMAN. Mr. Blaine asked leave to offer a resolution re questing the President to communicate &11 the corre -pondence in reference to the conferring on Lieu - tenant-General Sherman the brevet rank of General, ind the correspondence, in relation to the establish* ment of the new Military Division of the Atlantic. Mr. Nielack did not see the necessity for this cor respondence, and, therefore, he objected. Mr. Washbyrne, of Illinois, appealed to,him to withdraw the objection. ; , . , ~ Mr. Nib-ack suggested that Congress had had let ters enough for a while. Mr. WAsnnL-BNE—I intimated that the resolution eonld be passed, under a suspension of the rules, on Mr.ndav. Subsequently Mr. Niblack withdrew the objection, and the resolution was offered and adopted. > SALE OF BONDS Mr. Logan introduced an act revoking the author ity of the Secretary of the Treasury to pay a per cent :ige for the sale of government securities or bonds, and repealing all laws and parts of laws authorizing tbe appointment of an agent for the purpose of nego riatlng or selling government securities or bonds.
