The selections are admirably made, and such amagazine supplies a want much felt In this country. The editors have showed good taste and jddgment, thus far, in their selec tions, and their enterprise deserves cordial en couragement The Xe,e Eclectic may be procured fronft all the principal news and periodical agents ta Philadelphia. m ’. Evans & Co., 81-1 Chestnut street, have issued the March number of their new magazine, the World at Home .” It is somewhat after the Harpers Monthly order, and gives several striking Stories by foreign writers,' including “Madame do Chamblay,” by Dumas; “The Grand Duchess,” by •Bala- "The Tenant of the Chintz Chamber,” a, highly sensational story, and other attractive rejections. It also gives a Fashion Department, a javenile Department, and a good assortment of cooking and housekeeping receipts. The .illus trations are not yet up to the standard of the best magazine engravings of the day. Gorky's Lady's Bo\>h for March is out with its usual variety of entertainment lor tlic ladies. Tliere is a great store of useful Information in all the important matters of fashion and fancy Work, with the übuol plates and engravings, of -'patterns, &c.

AN IRISH PBOtESTANT OK FESIAS -ISITI AN® THE ALABAMA QUESTION. A gentleman in this city has received a letter from Ireland, which he has placed at our dis posal, We give below some extracts, prefixing them with the remark thatthe writei’s extreme views are not endorsed by this paper. His lettar, however, shows that there is a class in Ireland bitterly opposed to Fenianlsm and devoted to the throne of England : , On tlie subject of Foniaiiisni you arc partially right and partially wrong. That they are giviog u» here ana in England a great deal of trouble is . a fact; but what have they done, or what can - they do? The fact is that they have never yet dared to present themselves in line of battle be fore ten Irish policemen, and I believe they will not dare to do so. They are like serpents, worm ing themselves out of theit holes in the niaht, and stealthily crawling about to do mischiet, . and then burying themselves in their dens again. The cry is raised, “Ireland is pulled, and crushed arid ruined;'’ and yon seem to think that there ‘ may be something in it when yon say, “If they have any grievances, redress them.” But who will answer the question? How is it that alt . classes of Protestants, Church of England, Pres byterians, Independents and lYe3lcyans, v;iio on all other subjects arc sharp-sighted, cunno: see • one of those national grievances; add that among . all these ranks there is not one disloyal man to he found. And, although plied long and hard with Fenian sophistry, not one of them is talo n in their net! The tact is, the whole is a struggle be tween Papists and Protestants, just as iu vmir day in this country Ribbonmen, by periodical outbursts, kept the land more or Ibsb agitated. So Fenianism is Rlbbontsm, and nothing else. The great O’Couuell and his party long dis turbed the country by the cry for “Catholic emancipation,” and this, they said, if granted would make the land a paradise, every angry thought would fly, and all would be peace and love and joy. At length our rulers were induced to believe that if all this good should not be realized, so much of it would be as to justify them in granting it Thousands of the comraon- Bvnsc middle classes and well-informed never be lieved one of their fine promises. They were j dst f the worthy sons of the Derry men who could hot be deceived by any number of promises, or even • solemn - oaths. And how did, tho affair end? Emancipation—os it was termed—was granted, and the lovely frnit waited for and sought, bat never found. Daniel O’Connell was now . at a less to know what to do. His •‘rent” at bnce ceased, and he , seemed like one who was bewildered. He would have ’ been glad to have had all back In the same state, that he might still be able-to relieve his poor !dupes of their cash. Yet ho was! not perplexed, for, regardless of his promises |of peace, quiet pees ana contentment, lie started the “ Repeal of the Union.” This, he wa6 well aware, never . , would, under any drcnmstahccs, he granted, as, of course, until Great Britain was conquered as , : nation, it would not submit to dismemberment. ‘ ‘ go thislasted him his life-time, bntthc latter part was full of discomfort, for a party called the ■ arose, half on his side, and 1 ’half against him, and as they took position they shoved him out and broke nis heart. You may now put the Papal clergy in the old ’ . poUtioh of O’Connell. They have been instilling the principles of disloyalty, hatred to ther British throueahd-cenßtltntion-aimply.-bccauseUiey.ttre Proteetanfcaod- Fwiaulßm.isthe-legiUinate, fruit. But some time back a little dispute seemed to arise between these parties on the following .principle;, The clergyfaw further, being better mlormed than the people,-anffe their teaching , might he epitomized tuns:- “The time la not ’ tome.” Now you will readily discover that In such a mode of dealing with the question there was not the slightest .censure passed on the, devilish prlueiples '' ’ that Were at work, hut rather ah unmistakable Satronlzing of them, and the Fenians, not wil njg to submit even to a momentary ’discourage v’unteut, were nearly coming to a quarrel with tapir clergy; bnt the latter have managed’ tlic alum i - «wtD, moving their people to hope that by .dint [of Effort a quarrel may soon arise between England: -y .-and America, and then “the time .is corn?.” 7 ffome.otibs clergy spout such exciting,-IroiLSutja? hlo stuff at public meetings, and.thus, fully on tover their principles. There is not on the face of the earth, nor ever - was on it since the days of Israel's Theocracy, a government equai to tbal vl Great Britain; suit bn the throne of Great Britain there never sat so faultless a monarch as Queen Victoria, nor OM t-S universally,beloved byallJclassCa of herfsubr it < te, RotnahiSte excepted. ’ ■' \ ■ Pithops there is fret room for the question, “Are our rulers faultless?” My reply is that they arc not. First' —They have during the past forty years, I speak from observation, noted on a foolish lx ip o that they could by laige gifts and Conces sit ns stir tip in Irish Roman Catholics a princi- ple of gratitude. . , "Second —Thev have offended God by trying to bribe them to "live peaceably by granting them tXO.OW) per annum to support their College nt Mujnooth. They pay out of) tho revenue ol the country that amount for 1 no manulacttno oi prh sts, and thereby they have dealt top leniently with the Fenians. Last year they tried them many of then:—for “troaecn felony, when they were aware that they could be proved guilty'ot “high treason;" for the former, as the law now stands, no llfo is forfeited, but lor the latter it is. So the Government placed it beyond its own power to remove their lives. And, thirdly, when at ltngtli some were indicted for -high treason aid toned guilty, and sentenced to suffer th- ex treme penalty of the law, their sentence was commuted to transportation. This was done to produce—as their clergy said it would do-grati tude, respect and love, and thus we should be done wiih Finianistn. mhitp Tbe Government baa seen its error, and while nothing will be done rashly, there will, in future I e less of that kind of tender mercy to murderers that results in de.Mrncttou to tbepipnght andun oficndlng. This, althongh the fault of our rule ers, has been to that party an excess of kind- U IT cnrlvpeiiodofyonr civil watxjue,, after .oniii riversi's had been experienced by the North, France and other European nations were i.uxit'us to declare the independence aud nation ulin < f the Pout,hern States, and the non et nnif sconce of England was the only preventive; S X maintained against all overtures and n n onslrtmct s nntil the end of the war although through want of cotton, there was an indescrib able arnouLt of eufieriug experienced, which was well known to the whole American nation. xet we were prepart d to endure any amount ol snuer ing rather than patronize the South. Lecinres were delivered up and down through the King dom against slavery, producing more and more sympathy for the North as time rolled on. -- And vet lrom the close of the war until now we are doomtd to bear not only the basest ingratitude at the hands of that nation, but a continuous class <?f- insults, so that we are not a day m the Yviek; Without experiencing Irish trials ol our or g. au - 17Jlt ; ou waB commenced in France, and-of late their place of meeting was discovered, and they were driven from it. Iheir papers, with plans to do mischief to this nation, were taken from them, and sent to the British Government This wa3 not done in imitation ol America, but had the latter acted such an honest part, we never would have experienced an hour s annoyance by Fonianlsm in this country. One fault of our rulers I omitted to mention. They should, it Beerns, have expanded this island to fifteen or twenty times its present dimensions, for they are sadly to blame that room is not pro vided here for all the sons of our sod. Another new discovery: they have not protected the Pope in the enjoyment of his temporal power. And fnriher, a national church is snflered. When all these are set right we are to have peace,unless a new crop springs up. * ' v You may think it strange that I do not reter to the Manchester executions, nor to the blow ing tip of the Clerkenwell House of Detention, _ in London, for tbe purpose of rescuing two Fenian prisoners. But lam sure you have seen all about these irf the papers, j The latter was work only lit for incarnate fiends. There are now five persons in prison for it. . By a telegram from America, that appears in this di v’s paper, it appears that the government there is likely to espouse the cause of such pris oners here ns are American citizens; also, that in order to find cause for a quarrel with this country, they are laying claim to the island of San Juan. This is quoted from a Philadelphia paper. Dur ing vour protracted war there was, I think, ten times as much sympathy with the cause of the North as with the South, Indeed, there was only to bo found an odd croaker on the Southern side. It is true some of onr newspapers espoused the cause of the rebels, but they were few, and lost caste by their course; and their advocacy arose from an old attachment to slavery,for you might expect to find a remnant of the strong party that long withstood and was ultimately conquered by Wilberforcc, Buxton and others. But such ns advocated the causes of your rebel, said: ‘lf they conquer and subjugate the South they 11 then give ibis country trouble.” In this conclu sion they were right, as facts now prove. Enlist ment for the North was winked at here, but for the South it was not suffered; and yet such men as Seward, and others as devoid of principle, are trying to convince all that we have besn and are your enemies, while they exhibit the Alabama a9 scll lie knows that the British 1 Government had no more knowledge of that affair than he hid, and that the unprincipled party that built and sold that ship took her out of British' port without her puns, well knowing that should their designs have been discovered, their vessel would have been forfeited and perhaps themselves imprisoned. But it will be said: “They being British subjects, the Government should be responsible ” This coming from America is strange; but let this logic 'be adopted by England, and see the result. The Fenian disturb! rs and murderers arc American subjects, and even should their designs be un known to their government, yet it ir responsible for ail their doiDgs. Admit tbe first as a fair occlusion and you cannot refuse the last. There is now a Romanist bishop strongly de nouncing the FenlaßB,and be will not snfierin bis diocese uny exhibition of such sympathy for the Manchester murderers as would he regarded as approving of their conduct, or as in other places would honor them us martyrs. This is a grand < xeeption, and Romanists generally are not wil ling to believe it. This couuty (Wexford) is, and has been all through, very peaceable, indeed. In Ireland, aided os we have been by the suspension of the habeas corpus act. by which we aro ena bled to imprison suspicions persons, we hove been all through more than a match for the Fe nians. Our I rish police aro a class of men that cannot be excelled any where. They will sometimes rush on the American Fenian, with his revolver In his pocket, or even in his hand, and he boasting as he knows how, and drag him off without much ado. lam not without some featß that, as the “ wringing of the nose brought, forth blood,” there may yet by the foolishness, nay, madness of America, allowing its soli to be a base of operations for the disturbers of this country, and to such a large extent patronizing them, a collision between the two countries ultimately brought about, yet I would fain hope against It. I know that a groat deal of tbe move ments of your statesman is for tho acquisition of political capital, but “ the end Is not yet.” May God aveit evil. , Reception oi tlic Nicaruguan Minister. .

CI.OSK OF YESTERDAY'S PROCEEDINGS. Senate. —The resolutions endorsing Congress for the impeachment of the President were under Mr. Wallace, of Clearfield, said that the Igni tion of the Democratic party upon this question was that of an appeal to law, and for a tree: ays-. ttmoflawe, ae against revolution and arbitrary rule. In this ease an appeal to law had heon met by an appeal to revolution—a question ofcousti ntional rlcht by threats of anarchy and force. The right oT removal was an executive and so settled by universal practice _ irom I.BJ to 1807, by decisions of tbo Supreme Court, aha by necessary Implication. In 1807, Congress, by ibe Tenure of Office law, reversed the practice, and npon it a conflict of opinion arose as to con stitutionality. Its passage over the veto of the President did not make it constitutional, lor only laws passed in pursuance of the Constitution are the supreme law. „ ~ , . . , „ It was the right of the President to take it fceiore the court for settlement. This was his crime It was his sworn duty to, preserve pro tect and defend the Constitution. He has prac tically initiated proceedings to settle the question, and for this, be i,s impeached.. .The Supreme Court is ilie umpire for settlement. It is aoovu pnsrion, and as it deteimlnes, so must all sub mit. Impeachment would recoil upon its origi nators. The eober second thought would con demn this action, and financial and business in terests would condemn it. The people wanted no war. They wanted peace, reconstruction, and time to recuperate their exhausted energies. .Stanton’s attempts to force himself upon the President shock all ideas of propriety. The condition of the States is not now as in 1861. In five States contiguous to Washington there arc Democratic Governors and Legislatures, and in the great States of New York, Ohio and New Jersey there are Democratic Legis latures. We should frown upon all attempts to embroil the country in civil war. A position ol quiet dignity, of submission to law and of main tenance of constitutional obligations, is the duty of everv good citizen. . Mr. Errett, of Allegheny, said that the Republi can parly was also willing to. submit to the .fiat of law, ahtj'Secretary Stauton was proposed to be endorsed simply because he refused to obey au Hit gal order. Nor did the party appeal to Torce, but declared that if force was to be. u r cd by the President it would have to be met with lorce. Nor was it true that the President had been im peachtd solely because he had appealed to the Supreme Court How bad he appealed? Where was his appeal? The President was precluded from testing the constitutionality of the tenure ol office law, because he lmd acted under its pro visions. The eyes of the peoplo could not be blinded to tbo fact that the President has had op portunities oftestlhg the Constitutionality ol the law andhasfailcdtoavi.il himself of them, and bow has violated the law. Tho debate was continued by Senators on both political sides. Speeches embodying the princi ples of the points already discussed In Congress and sustaining the views announced by the lead ers of the respective parties were made. The speakers were Messrs. White, Lowry and others, and they continued until a late hour. The reso lutions endorsing impeachment will be passed by the Republican majority. The subject was then postponed until au ovon ing session, to ho held lor its dieeussion. “Mr. Connell called up an act relative to tho as sessment of farm lands in the snbuibs of Phila delphia (authorizing tho Board of Revision to to giailo and assess the taxes npon such property at two-thirds of the highest rate for ths city). Passed. .1 fteinooit .Sv.-.viea.—Mr. Burnett called up an act to amend the revenue laws of this Common wealth, approved Peb. 2:), 1866, limiting the tax on the stock of State banks to throe mills. Passed. Mr. Connell introduced an act extending the provisions of an act relative to paving in the Twenty-third and Twenty-fourth Wards of Phila delphia to the Twenty-first Ward. Mr. Connell called up an act to incorporate the Protestant Episcopal Book Society of Philadel dclphia. Pnssed. ' Mr. Randall called up an act reducing tho tax of one cent per ton (on each ton of coal mined in Schuvlkill county) to one third of a cent per ton, the proceeds to be appropriated to maintaining order in the mining regions. Passod. leaning Session.— The session was devoted to speeches upon resolutions endorsing the im peachment of Andrew Johnson, and opposing tie course.of Secretary Stanton. ■ Mr. MeConaughy commented upon the fact tbat thc Democratic party seemed disposed to lie supporters of the inconsistent Andrew Johnson.

Dining the remarks of Hr. Sumner the Clerk of the House appeared, and announced the passage of the KloiQtiOD Of llSMSCblXMfflt Mr.Gunsxs, oflowx eaid the Senator from Indi suia (Mr. Hendricks) the other day had alluded to a letter written by Mr, Harvey to the authorities of Bonth Carolina, informing than that Part Bnmter woald he reinforced. He (Mr ' Grimes) stated then that he did not know any such letter had been written, Mr. Harvey having denied it He supposed, from listening to the reading of the first dispatches just read,' that the Senator has confounded them with the letter ia order to correct a. statement be (Mr. Grimes) had made since, that be understood from the recent letter of Sir. Harvey that he bad written' no such dispatch. Be would -ask the Clerk to read a tetter just received from Mr. Harvey, in which he did not deny attempting to send euch des patched, but said that the telegraph lines being in charge of General Scott they ban never reached their destination, and therefore the attack on Fort Sumter wa* not occasioned by them. „ ... ■ The Clerk read the fetters, which after explaining the nils apprehension alluded to, says that the former letter was to show that no attempt at secrecy was made in regard to the succor of Port Sumter. South Carolina, having received notice more than three days before tho attack was made, that his services were voluntarily given and with the motive of averting the collision, and that he had no communication what ever with the Governor of South Carolina, but had addressed himself to Mr. Pettigrew, a distinguished Union man, to Mr. Msgrath and Mr. Duncan. BETfRNS op nrixs. On motion of Mr. Edmcjips of Vermont, the bill regulating the presentation of bills to the President of the United States and the return'of the some, under consideration yesterday, was again taken up. Mr. Datis, of Kentucky, opposed the bill, claiming that the President had the right to construe the Con stitution for himself the impeachment scene. Before the close of the remarks of Mr. Davis, the doorkeeper announced a committee of tho House of Representative*, and Messrs. Stevens and Bingham entered anil stood facing the President pro Ant.,while :< large number of members of the .House ranged themselves in a semi-circle behind. When order was restored, Mr. Stevens read in a firm voice as follows: Mr. President—ln obedience to the order of' the House of Representatives, we have appeared before you; and in the name of the House of Representatives and of all the people of the United States, we do im peach Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, of high crimes and misdemeanors in office.. And we further inform the Senate that the House of Representatives will, in due time, exhibit particular articles of impeachment against him, and makegood the same. And in their name we demand that the Senate take due order for the appearance of the said Andrew Johnson to answer to the said impeachment. The President pro tern,—The Senate will take or. tier ilKthe premises. Mr. Stevens was then famished with a chair,, and sat lit the spot whence he had addressed the Chair. Mr. Howajid, of Michigan, addressed the Chair, but Mr. Davis insisted that he had the floor, having given way only for the reception of a message from the Honae. , _ ' The Chaib eald the Senator certainly had the floor. Mr. Dane said: “Mr. President, I was about tore new my remarks,” when ," - ' Mr.-Howabd asked whether this was not a question ° l 'fhe VU CHAni did not know that there was any rule about it. 7 7 , Mr* Da via—Mr. President, no question of privi t(§r.

He th^h^lT P lU n »e o^Swa y lnder S: cnce to the universal usage established by courtesy be tween the two houses for tho reception of; a message from the House.. When that message he had : a right to: fesumo' the floor, and the Senator could not take it from him to make a privileged motion ©r any motion. ' Mr. Koinjiros thought the Benator from Kentucky wa® entitled to the floor, wnlleho did not admit the. Ids.

IJXSJSSSSBSaSJSSSBSSK- W pelaware.bad no 1 objection to the resolution, but wonla cad attention to’ the fact that this was a mere notice that the House of Representa tives intend to impeach the Prprldent. Impeachment • could not be acted npon until articles of Impeachment wore presented, and the Benate bad no authority as a legislative body to act in relation to a question of im peachment, the Constitution: requiring tijem to be orgflnlzed intoa court, with the Chief Justice Presi dent, when the questioh of impeachment came before them. Until that tlmo they could entertain no motion in regard to the fact; that the court would he called Upon to make its own orders, under the Constitution and laws. Mr. Bow'Ann eald the course pointed out by the Senator was not according to the precedent furnished by tho case of Judge Peck, in the year 1830. In that case, according to the journals of the Benate, a mes sage was brought from the House of Representatives by Mr- Bucbanan and Mr. Henry Stores, two of their member*, and wqs in the following words: " v “Mr. President:—We have been directed, in the name of the House of Representatives and of all the people of the United States, to impeach James 1L Peck, Judge of the District Court of the United States for the District of Missouri, of high misde meanors In office, and to acquaint tho .Senate that the , House will in duo time exhibit particular articles of ’ impeachment against him, <md make good the same. We have also been directed to demand that the i Senate take order for the appearance of the said James E. Peck to answer to said impeachment.” and they withdrew. The Senate proceeded to consider the last men tioned message, and “on motion of Mr. Taacwell it was resolved that it bo refereed to a select committee, to consist of three members, to consider and report thereon Ordered, that Mr. Tazewell, Mr. Webster and Mr. Bell be the committee.” That was a preliminary proceeding, and this case was precisely similar to it. Mr. Pomeroy, of Kansas, »aid the mode of prelimi nary proceeding hod always been precisely the same os in tho case just read. When ’the managers appeared on the part of the House of Representatives, they pre sented their articles to the court of impeachment. This, however, was only the presentation—the notice always given to the Senate. Mr. Johnson, of Maryland, had no donbt the mode proposed by the Senator from Michigan (Mr. Howard) was proper.. He believed.that in all precedingcases a committee had been appointed to take into considera tion the message received from the House, and to recommend such measures as were deemed advisable, andbekzew no reason why that should not be done here. Perhaps, however, it would be more advisable to delay the resolution for a day, and let the matter . he disposed of by the Senate. Mr. Conkuno, of Hew Vork, referring to the case of the impeachment by the Senate of Judge Hum phreys, of Tennessee, suggested that the words “to be appointed by the Chair” be included In the resolu tion. Mr. Howard accepted the amendment The resolution was unanimously adopted. Mr. Davis, of Kentucky, then In a few words concluded his remarks on the pending bill. RECONSTRUCTION. On motion of Mr. Patterson, of Tennessee, the bill w as laid aside and tbo bill lnaddltlon to the supple mentary reconstruction bill was taken up, and Mr. Patterson took the floor in reply to Mr. Doolittle's speech of yesterday. Mr. SAtasBDHY.of Delaware, then secured the floor, butyielded to Amotion by Mr. Hendricks to postpone the bill until to-morrow, which prevailed. On motion of Mr. THCMBCixtbe Senate touknn the bill to amend the reconstruction bills by allowing a majority of votes cast to decide elections, and regis tered voters to vote in any part of a Btatc. Mr. Davis wiihdrew nis motion to refer to the Judiciary Committee with instructions, and the ques tion recurred on the amendment of Mr. Backalew, requiring a residence of ten days in the district be • fore election. Considerable discussion followed between Messrs. Trumbull, Buckalew, Williams, Hendricks, Davis, Wilson and Feeeendcn on the amendment, after which it was agreed to. , Mr. WuiiAMS moved to amend by adding after the requirement of the presentation of the voter's certifi cate of registration the words “on affidavit or other satisfactory evidence.” k~ - Mr. Hendricks, of Indiana, opposed the amend ment as certain to cause fraud. Mr. Williams, o? Oregon, claimed that without this provision half of the; electors would ho practically disfrancblstd. , After further debate on these points, the amend ment was agteed to. Mr. Siieumak moved to add,as an additional section, the following: And be it further enacted. That the Constitutional Convention of any of the States mentioned in the acts of which this is amendatory, may provide that at the time of Voting upon ttc ratification of the consti tution, the registered voters may vote also for mem ber* of the House of Representatives of the United States, and for all elective officers provided for by the said Constitution; and the same election officers who shall make the return of the votes on the ratification or rejection ot the constitution, shall enumerate and certify the rotes cast for members of Congress. Mr. Btckalew, of Pennsylvania, argued against the amendment Mr. BBEKHAN, of Ohio, said the only object by one election was to have a full-fledged Btate, ready for ad ■ mission, and he had hoped the Senator from Penn sylvania (Mr. \Bockalew) would support it. Those States had never under the present law, divided them selves into Congressional districts. Further discussions ensued, when the amendment w as saved to." Mr. Doolittle moved to amend by inserting the provision offered by him in amendment of the sup plementary reconstruction bill, requiring certain qual ifications of all persons not entitled to vote under the Constitution or laws in such States previous to the rebellion. Mr. Wilson called the yeas and nays, and the amendment was lost—Nays 33, yeas 3. Mr. Davis moved to amend by requiting that all elections provided for. shall take place on the same dav in each State. The amendment waa not agreed to. Mr. Hendbicks moved to amend by adding after the words “or other evidence'' the words “in writing, tinder oath, and returned with the returns of the election s," which, with amendments by Mr. Davis to require viva voce voting, and requiring scrutinize™ in each county, were vo ed down. Mr. Doolittle, of Wisconsin ihoved to amend by providing that no persons shall be refused registration or voting who have received pardons previous to the passage of acts to which tills Is amendatory. Not agreed to. ’ Mr. Buckalew asked that tbp bill he laid over until to-morrow, to allow him to submit an amendment, approved ol by certain members of Southern conven tions, permitting minorities to be represented, In ac - cordancc with the theory heretofore explained by him. He said the whites and blacks would thus each obtain a fair share of power. He moved to add an additional section allowing State conventions to au thorize the election of representatives in Congress from the State at large, upon the principle of cumu lative voting. Objection being made to allow the bill to go over for that purpose, Mr. Buckalew withdrew the amend ment, and the bill was passed—yeas 28, nays —. The Chaib appointed as the select committee called for by Hr. Howard's resolution on Impeachment, Messrs. Howard, Trumbnl), Conkling, Edmunds, Mor ton, Pomeroy, andalohnson. On motion of Mr. Sherman, the supplemental re construction bill was made the special order for Thursday next. " ' ' The Chaib laid before the Senate a communication from the Secretary of the Treasury, transmitting a re port of 8. Seymour, civil engineer, in regard to bridging the Potomac River, and from the Secretary of War, to reply to a resolution of inquiry in regard to the survey of a ship canal at the falls of the Ohio River.

J. ,> i Mr. Buooks, of New York; called for the yeas and nays, but they wero not ordered. Ho then remarked that it was perhaps well for .the men her* on the other Bide to have no record of their votes made on the resolution, bat to “go It blind'’ without a word of ex planation. s, ' ' ’ ■ j ■' The resolution was adopted without a division. FAOIgZO, iiaicijoap. , , Mr. Wilson/of lowa, offered a resolution declaring Ihnt the public welfaro demands that the pecuniary obligations of the United States should be kept with in tne narrowcM; limits consistent with the necessary requirements ot the government, and that, therefore, It Is rot expedient at this time to enlarge sncbobliga tions by extending aid to the Union Pacific Railroad Company, or to' any other company, by granting, be yond the terms of existing law, subsidies of United States bonds, or by guaranteeing the payment of any atock or other liability of snch company, or dny other corporation, and directing, the Pacific Railroad Com mittee of tbo House to report no bill during this ses sion in conflict with the resolution. The House refused , to sccond tho: previous ques tion. and the resolution went over till next Wednes day. The resolutions offered by Mr. Griswold, o£ New York, on Monday, the 17ti>, In reference to the rights of American citizens abroad, came np, and were by his c-onsent referred to the Committee on Foreign Af fairs. On motion of Mr. IsgersOll, the Senate bill ap propriating SlfnOOO for the temporary relief or desti tute people in iho District of Columbia was taken up, and was amended, on motion of Mr. Woon, of New York, by making the fund diabuwable by the Freed men’s Bureau and the Aid Society jointly, and was passed. PETITION. , Mr. Hul. of New York, presented a petition of citizens of Paterson, New Jersey, for a reduction of the expenses of the government. Referred to the Commix tee on Retrenchment. Mr. Loin, of Missouri, asked leave to offer a reso lotion instructing the Judiciary Committee to inquire as to the political statnis of the State of Texas, but ■ Mr. Buna objected, although Mr. B books suggested that the other side of the House mieht as well have that matter to work upon. The Sfbakeb presented a communication from the Secretary of War, with a report of Major-Qcneral ,f ancock as to the ribt'afMarshaU, Texas, on Decem ber 31,1667. Referred to the Committee on Recon struction. Also, the Constitution of the State of Alabama, as revised and amended by the Convention assembled at Montgomery, November, 1867. Same reference. The House proceeded to the consideration of the naval appropriation bill. Mr. WismirasE, of Illinois, moved to suspend the rule, so as to enable him to offer os amendments to the bill the sections that were struck out of the bill on last Friday in the Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union as being independent legislation, and, there fore, out of order in an appropriation bill. The rule was not suspended—veas 86, nays 50— lias than two-tbirds voting in the affirmative. \ Mr. Washbcbne. of Illinois, made some remarks as to the responsibility of Republican members for join-\ ing with members on the other side to defeat those sections which were intended to effect a large economy. Mr. Wood, of New York, suggested that the Re publicans bad a graver responsibility than that. Mr. Wabhbubne replied that they were willing to meet every responsibility. Mr. Wood added, yes, to your sorrow, next Novem b.r. Mr. Washbi'bxe intimated that the eubject to which Mr. Wood was referring, had been disposed of, atd repeated that gentlemen on the Republican side of the House bad refused to second the Committee on Appropriations in cutting down the expenditures of the Naval Department. Mr. Pike contended that the sections referred to were not calculated to reduce expenditures, and stated that the Committee on Naval Affairs would report a general measure on the subject. The subject gave rise to an animated discussion be tween Messrs. Washburne, Pike, Scbenck, and Blaine, which caused much amusement on the Demo cratic side of the House. In overruling an unimportant point of order, raised during the discussion, tie Speaker stated that he de sired to correct a ruling which he had made yesterday in the use of the words “whipped in” by the gentle man from Illinois (Mr. Marshall.) On reflection, he was of the opinion that his decision yesterday was too stringent- The words “whipped in” was aparlia mentaiy phrase in use in tie country whence this country derives its parliamentary law. and it was not regarded there as unparliamentary, or dishonorable, or offensive to speak of members generally as being w hipped in. Therefore, when tbe expr< ssion was of general and not special application, he did not regard it as Offensively unparliamentary. He added that he was always desirous to correct his ruling whenever he found that he was mistaken. The matter had not been suggested to him; but on reflection ho was satis fied tluu’hisrnlingyesterday was too restrictive. Mi. Schehck suggested whether, as the House was to have the word, it should also inherit the thing, and if so. he should like to know who were to be the wflippers in. The Speakeb replied that he only alluded to the question whether the word must necessarily be re gai fled as offensive. Mr. Ross suggested some point of order on a re mark of Mr. Wasflbume's, to which Mr. Waehbcbke replied— l did not hear the point nf order made by mv colleague, the distinguished Knight of the Golden Circle. [Laughter.] Tbe naval appropriation bill was passed. Mr. Washbubne, of Illinois, from the Committee i u Appropriations, reported the snndry civil expenses appropriation bill. Referred to the Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union, and made the special order for to-morrow, Mr. Bvtleb, of Massachusetts, from the same com mittee, reported a bill making a partial appropriation or the expenses of the Indian Department Mddethe special oner for to-morrow. Mr. Washbubne, of Illinois, from the Committee on Rules, reported <a new role declaring that pending ■i motion to suspend the rules, the -Speaker may en tcitain ore motion, that the House shall now adjourn, but that after the result le announced he shall not en tertain any other dilatory motion till a voto is taken on suspension. [This is intended to prevent filibustering by a mi nority of less than one-third on any day when it 1b in order to suspend the rules—Reporter. 1 Mr. Ross objected. Mr. WAsimrßNE moved to suspend the rules. The rules were suspended—yens. 10S ; nays. 33; and the new rale was adopted and added to the rales of the House. Mr. Wood, of New York, presented a letter and pamphlet of B. J. Burnett, of New York City, con mining a plan for ventilating the hall of the House of Representatives. Referred to the Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds. Mr. Washbcbne, of Illinois, asked leave to offer the follow ire’: , Jiftolvtd, That the rules be suspended, and that it is hereby ordered as follows: When the committee to prepare the articles of impeachment of the Presi dent of the United States report the said articles, the lionse shall immediately resolve itself into a Com mittee of the Whole thereon; that speeches in com mittee shall he limited to fifteen minutes each, which debate shall continue till the next legislative day after the report, to the exclusion of all other business except the reading of the journal; that at three o'clock on the afternoon of Bald second day the fifteen-minute debate shall cease, guff the committee shall tbenproeeed tp consider andjvote upon ameud ments that may he offered under the five minutes’ rale of debate, bnt no merely pro forma amendment shall he entertained; that at four o'clock on the after noon of the said second day the committee shall rise and report its action to the House. which shall imme diately, and .without dilatory motions, vote thereon; that if the articles of Impeachment are agreed on, the House shall then immediately, and without dilatory -motions, elect by ballot seven managers to conduct said impeachment on the part of the Bousepand that during the ppndencv of resolutions i]i the House rela tive to said impeachment thereafter, no dilatory mo tions shall he received except one motion on each day, that the Honse do now adjourn. Mr. Wood, of New York, objected. Hr. Washbubne, of Illinois, moved that the roles be suspended. Hr. Randall, of Pennsylvania, gave notice of his desire to ask for a division of the various proposi tions. The Sfeakbb intimated that a suspension of the rales snspended the rule allowing a member to call for a division. Mr. Rldbidob, of Wisconsin, suggested- sarcasti cally to the gentleman from Illinois whether it would not be more in consonance with the practice of the House to allow members to print all their speeches, in stead of making them In the House; that would ex pedite business and save aeood deal of trouble. Mr. KakdAle, of: Pennsylvania; i aqnlred whether Mr. Waßhbprne would permit an amendment to bo offered to extend spiwhesftr thirtymlnnter.and to extend the debate for another day. “ ~ Hr. Washbubne did not feel anthoiized, as report ing the resolution fromtha. Committee on Boles, to allow the amendment to be offered. ' Mi- Bbookb, trfNew-York; remarked that he was * - CITIZENSHIP.

Through a long series or yean, and among most of the races of men it has risen higher and higher in their estimation, as it has become better known. Its uniform character and power to cure the various af fections of the lungs and throat, have made it known as a reliable protector against them. While adapted to milder forms of disease and to young children, it is at the same time the most effectual remedy that can bo given for in* cipient consumption, and the dangerous affections of the throat and lungs. As a provision against sudden attacks of Croup , it should be kept on hand In every family, and indeed as all are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all should be provided with tiffs antidote for them. Although settled Consumption is thought incurable, still great numbers of cases where the disease seemed settled, have been completely cured, and the patient re stored to sound health by the Cherry Pectoral. Bo com plete is its mastery over thfe disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that the most obstinate of them yield to it. When nothing elpo could Teach them, under the Cherry Pectoral they subside and disappear. Singers and Public Speakers find great protection from ft. Asthma is always relieved and ofteny hoHy cured by it Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the Cherry Pec toral in small and frequent doeee. So generally are its virtues known that we need not publish the certificates of them here, or do moro than assure the public that its qualities are fully maintained.
