R. T. Mekuick, AVai.tmu 8. Cox, For Plaintiff. Pennsylvania Legislature. CLOSE OF I'KSTKItDAY’B FKOCEEDINOS. Senate.— An act repealing the law authoriz ing the establishment of criminal courts in Dauphin, Lebanon and Schuylkill counties, was considered. Mr. Randall, of Schuylkill, called the attention of the Senate to what he said was “a most senr rikras and infumous handbill, from the office of the PottsviHe Miners' Journal, which had been placed on the desks .of members, on this subject, and;Which contained a malignant attack upon himself, which was as false as the heart of its author was corrupt. The man who could de liberately pen such a libel would not hesitato to cbmibit any act known to the dark and horrible calendar of crimes, and must possess the flendish ness of a Judge Jeffries and the cowardice of a •Bob Acres,’ Jfcc.” . > The argument on the bill was as follows: On the one hand, the majority of the Republi cans of the Senate urged that the establishment of the Criminal Court in Schuylkill county had produced order among the lawless classes, and that the Supreme Court hod the constitutionality of the establishment of the court now under dis cussion, and it was therefore unwise to take any • legislative steps in the matter. On the other side, it was said that the Su preme Court had finally decided,and it was alleged ' that the Criminal Judge in Schuylkill county had riot tried any coses, and that he was useless. These views were urged by Mr. Randall (D.), and —he was partially sustained by Messrs. Brown, of Mercer, and Landon (R.) , The matter was linally postponed lor tho pre sent _ An_act urging Congress to encourage a steam ship line to Africa (already passed by tho House) : ‘||S ’passed by a viva voce vote.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial supplies all the necessary Information concerning the new United States Senator from Kentucky. We quote: Thomas C. AlcCreerv, of Daviess countv, Kentucky,or, as he is better known here, “Old 'Tom McCreery,” lives on a farm, in tho lower part of the State, and wo venture to say, a .oilier old soul does not exist anywhere elso in this broad Commonwealth. He once read law, and tometimes tries a case,but can almoßt always be found on hi« big farm, among the pigs, cattle and horses. If, as you go out of the village near bis home,yon meet a fat old man,shabbily dressed, with an immense, battered stove-pipe hat,, riding an old marc with burrs in her mano and tail, and a blue cotton umbrella under his arm, that is Old Tom AlcCreerv,and he is going into town for his mail,and to talk politics a little while with the .store-keeper. ’ If j ou ride np to his gate yon will hear a deep bass voice shouting, “Light down, sir; walk up, sir; sit down, and we’ll have something to take; glad to sec yon, sir; got beds in this house, and a mouthful to cat, sir; you will stay all night, sir, and.fcel all the better for it in the morning, sir.” Thiitls old Tom McCreery, and you are just as welcome as if you owned half of nil he had. Mr. AlcCreerv Is well blessed with the goods of this world, and abundantly able to dispense the hospi tality that fills him with delight, and makes him so popular with hiß friends. He is a rough old iellow, aDd always a little dirty in his personal appearance, but a cleverer man than Thomas 0. AicCreerj does n<it live. He is a good judge of the pure article of Bourbon, and gooe to horse races. He keeps a fine stable of horses, anil has a private track on his farm, where he amuses him self with running his stock, or having littlo scrub races with his neighbors. . Abk him where the prettiest women are raised, the bravest men live, the finest horses bred, or the best Bourbon to be had, arid he will strike his chest with his right hand, and answer, with all the pride of a Logan, “In Kentucky, sir, and no where else, sir.” He is a quiet,good-natured man, but ineult him and he will fight in a minute. He is well read, and can make a good speech, but Is not fond of talking in public. If he had boon' poor, he would have been one of the, most bril liant and active men in the State, but he has never had occasion to exert either his body or his brains much, and was seldom heard of, except at the State Conventions, where he always appeared as the delegate from his county. When he goes to Washington, Mr. McCreery will vote steadily with Davie, Doolittle, Hendricks and Baulsbury, bnt he will be personally popular with Ben. Wade, Morton, Nye, Brownlow, and all that class of men. _ Anderson, tUe magician, in Trouble. The Cincinnati Gazette, says: There was quite a disturbance in the Planters’ House, Covington, on Saturday evening, while most of the boarders were at tea. The particulars of the affair, as recited to us by persons con nected with the hotel, are about as follows: Prof. Anderson, the magician, and several of bis assistants, including the wife of the former, were guests at the house. On Saturday after noon Mrs. Anderson requested that a sofa or lounge be sent to her room. One was taken, but it did not suit her, and she got quite angryi speaking in rather dis respectful lerms oithe house and those who kept it. The conversation wa3 directed to Mrs. Smith, wife of the proprietor, who re ported it to her husband. Mr. Smith subse quently remarked to one of Anderson’s as sistants that Mrs. A. must be drunk, or acted like she was drunk, or words to that effect. This coming to the ears of the Professor, he called Mr. Smith to account for it. Angry words passed between them; and finally the sleight-of-hand man applied an offensive epi thet io the landlord, when the latter hauled oil ard struck him in the face. There upon Anderson stepped back, and made a movement as if to draw a' pistol,' when Smith hurled a hatchet at his head, ihe weapon just grazing his scalp. At this juncture one of Anderson’s party picked up the hatchet, and was about to strike Smith with it, when he was knocked down by a stalwart son of Esculapius, who had been up to this time merely a spectator. The Pro fessor and his friend, thinking, doubtless, that tilings were getting pretty warm,, beat a re treat, the former running through the bar room and out into an alley, reappearing after wards on the street in front of the house. Thfl affair caused a good deal of excitement, and all sorts of reports were circulated in regard to it. Olden Times. In those days peopjg drank green tea, and ate heavy suppers, and went to bed with warming-pans and nightcaps, and slept upon feather-beds with curtains around them and dreaded fresh air in their rooms as much as sensible folks now-a-dayß dread to bo without it. And if they heard a noise in the night, they got up and groped about in the dark, and procured a light with much difficulty, with flint and steel, and tinder-box, and un pleasant sulphur matches. And went to the tnedicine-chest and took calomel, and blue pills, and salts, and senna, and jalap, and rhubaib. _ In those days the fine gentlemen tippled old Jamaica and bitters in the morning, and lawyers took their clients to the sideboard for a dram, while the fine ladies lounged on solas, reading Byron, Moore and Sc&tt. In those days,~~long leather fire-buckets were hung in the entries, filled with water, andwhen a fire broke out every citizen was a fireman. In those days, gentlemen chewed tobacco, indifferent where they expectorated, and la dies cleaned their dental pearls with snuff, | wore thin shoes and laced themselves into feminine wasps and consumption. Babies were put to sleep with spanking and pare goric; apd urchins were flogged at school and subjected to all sorts ef unheard-of chastise ments. Picture-books and toys were dear and poor; Big'Boys played" ‘‘fi6ckey''ln the" streets with crooked sticks and hard wooden balls, policemen being unknown, and went home to their mothers to have brokeh shins anointed with opodeldoc. Street fights occurred between schools, and schoolmasters wcre persecuted by tho biggest boyß.

Every man shaved wore a bell-crownea hat, a swallow-tailed coat with a horse-collar; carried a turnip-shaped timekeeper in his waistband, with a heavy seal hanging out; had his breeches pockets full of silver half dollars; wore round-toed boots and linen shirts; cased his throat with high standing shirt collars; ate all manner of nauseous quack medicines; dined at I o’clock (sqme families eating the pudding before the meat); took naps in the afternoon—on Sundays pre ferring the pews of the church for that pur pose; smoked “long nines:” ate fried oysters and lobster salad, and drank fiery Madeira or punch at 12 o’clock at night. Got his feet wet on slushy days, took awful. colds and rheumatisms, sent for Dr. Sangrado and was bled, blistered and leeched; had night-mare, headache, dyspepsia, fever, delirium, death and darkened room. Spontaneous combustion in Theatre^ A correspondent of the PaU Mall Gazette writes: “I was lately conversing with one of our most eminent scene painters upon the late catastrophe at Her Majesty's Theatre, and he gave his decided opinion that the ac cident proceeded from spontaneous combus tion. He stated that large heaps of the de bris and refuse of the painting and pro perty rooms were often swept up together and left to accumulate for years,; and that he had often had reason to complain of this practice- and to point out the danger of it. He related one instance in which such a heap had stood in a theatre for a long period, and after many complaints he induced the authorities to remove it, and the moment a sp3de was thrust into it it burst into flames. I Bee that in the Times a cor respondent puts aside spontaneous combus tion because scene painting is done with water color, which is no.t infiammable;but the danger, though sometimes existing even in the painting-room, lies more particularly in the property-room, where varnish and oil colors are largely used, and where scraps of oiled" rag, tow, varnish, saw dust, and flue or fluff are swept up together with other matter. They only require to be damped, as is not an uncommon practice, for the purpose of laying the dust, to induce eventually spontaneous combustion. Mv in formant also pointed to the case of Astley’s Theatre, which he stated was burnt down somewhat in this way from the sweepings of the sawdust and stables; and from his experience, which is very great, he felt cer tain that many other theatres had been so burned.” The Bishop of Orleans, France, describing the modern Frenchwoman, says: “A woman knows all the famous actors and horses, she knows by heart the performers at the opera and the Varietes; the stud book is more fa miliar than Thomas-a-Kempis’s ‘lmitation;’ last year she betted for LaTouque, this year for Vermuth, and she is sure that the. Bois Rousßel is full of promise; she is enthusiastic about the Derby, and the triumph of Fille de l’Air she considers as a national vic tory. She knows the name of the most cele brated milliners, the fashionable saddler, and the shop which has the greatest vogue. She will weigh the respective merits of the stables of the Compte de la Grange, the Due de Moray, or of Monsieur Delamarre. * * She can only entertain young women and frivolous young men. Equally incapable of talking on business, art, politics, agriculture or the sciences, she can neither converse with her father-in-law, her clergyman, or with any man of a serious mind. And yet, the first talent of a woman is to be able to converse with everybody.” Si’axish Pkogbess. —A professor in the Madrid University has been deposed and pros ecuted for writing a philosophical work which the Pope condemns. It is lucky lor Profes sor Sanz Rio that he lives in the nineteenth century instead of the sixteenth. Under the mild sway of the conscientious Philip he would have been roasted at the stake; as it is, his book gets into the Index JExpurga torius, and he will probably escape with no more severe punishment than the loss of his income, confiscation of his property and a few years of imprisonment.

No doubt the Seeretaryof the Treasury had acted consclen tionsly. bnt gold, which had steadily daullned from the close of the war, until in April, 1860, it was 125, from that time advanced to 180 and HO. He claimed that we are no nearer specie payment now than then, and that the debt could nave been con verted as well into a Are per cent, as a six per rant, loan The BecreUry of the Treasury then thought it important, and Congress concurred in the Idea, that theDnlted States should have the privilege of re deeming the bonds in five years, tat the experience of all nations sbowed that in tlme of wattuey must submit to harder terms to borrow money than in time of peace. The Secretary of the Treasury had always -decided, very properly,that bonds issued before the legal tender notes, mnjitbe paiiSin gold,and Secretary Chase having so decided first When a portion of the Texas loan matured in the fait of 1884, on the principle that gold was paid ‘for those bonds, gold must be Teturwd for them: and, doubtless, toe asmp priucl ple should be applied to contracts between indlvidn ‘ ala. To do otherwise was repudiation. Oa the question whether the bonds issued since the legal tender act are payable In legal tenders, he could only speak for- himself, and not for the Committee on Finance. The leal tender elanse provided that the notes Issued under the first section be a law ful tender for all debts of every kind, except duties on imports and interest on bondsand notas. If the easo stood upon that legal tender •clause alone, there could be no doubt on the point The legal tender note* issued under this clause amounted to #150,000,000. The second Ktctonpro vlded for the issue of five-twenty bonds.—lf they had been issued under the act of February 25, lap, it would have been an irreslst ible conclusion that it was not contemplated that the #500,000,000 authorized under this act should bo paid by the legal tender notes themselves, converted into bonds: but InJuly following the limitation was increased to #300,000,000 before a single bend wae sold. __ , _ _ „ . in December following, the Secretary Chad utterly failed to negotiate the five-twenty loan, as shown in his report, and asked additional legislation by the act ofliarch 3,1808. The limitation which prevented the sale of the flve-twentlca was repealed, and Infor mation to that effect wae B P r . e »lf ll ® Ter *^ c ®“?P t y’ #150,000,000 currency boing authorized. On that basis they were sold, and not under \he act ot February 25, 1806, under which the Secretary had failed to sellit, and no right was given to the notes of that issue, except to be redeivahlo to the government for taxes. It is true that certain government officers had said the principal of these bonds would be paid in coin, a circumstance that had always embarrassed his mind more than any other, tat he denied that Congress had ever acqnlceeed in that view. Mr. Sherman referred to various lettere from officers of the Treasury quoted during the debate, and claimed that they had merely expressed the opinion tint the bonds would be paid in coin, doubtless in the expect; tation of an early return to specie payment, bnt that* they bad never attempted to, construe the taw. He did not intend to advocate either view, bnt merely to ", show that on thin subject honorable men might differ. The proposal to pay the five-twenties by a new issue of greenbacks he denounced as a dangerous device, amounting to repudiation, tat he claimed that every State in the Union had recognized this principle, by paying its debt, principal and interest, in greenbacks, save those on tho Fadfle alopA t ■ In the present bill a fair and liberal offer was made, to the bondholders ofa substitute for the five twenties, hearing five pee cent interest, payable in gold. . He denleothat It was to be regarded as a threat Alter speaking further of the advantages of the new loan he eaid the proposition of the committee was similar to the course pursued by England six or seven different times. Beading from various publications analogous esses from 1715 until after the Peninsula war, he then referred to toe debt assumed br the govern ment or toe United States when the; new Constitu tion was formed. ... , The interest had been unpaid for a long time. Alexander Hamilton made arrangements for funding that debt, not on' the terms of the debt, hut by loaning six percent, bonds of the old rate for two-thirds of. it, the remainder partly by three per cent, boncte, partly fonr per cent,, and partly in public lands. He claimed the present plan was in accordance, therefore, with precedent; that it was equitable and feasible. The proposed panda would be free from State taxa tion, toe courts having uniformly held that the States could not tax government securities. In the time of war such a power on the part ot a State would bo disastrous. It would prevent citlzcnß I rom loaning their money to toe government . To tax government securities one or two per cent. In the manner proposed recently in toe House, like a special tax on manufacturers in lieu of all other taxes, would be a palpable violation of the Constitution worse than repudiation, because proposing a discriminating tax on property* A provision had therefore been inserted in the bill to protect these bonds from any discrim inating taxes by Congress. An attempt in the British Psriisment in 1724 bad evoked the remarkable letters of "Junius," which attracted so much attention aa to finally defeat the proposition. His friend from Missouri (Mr. Henderson) proposed a lower rate of interest than five per cent., but that was the lowest ever paid on public securities in this country, except in the ease quoted of Alexander Ham ilton. He instanced several English loans, and the popular French loan during the Crimean war, all of which had paid five per cent., and eaid it would be idle for toe government to attempt to get money in a countiy where a higher rate was always paid than in Europe for less. He who loaned money now knew that when paid he would receive less lu value than he gave. One thousand dollars payable In twenty years would at that time have one-fifth of US purchasable' power Shorn from It by the addition to the volume of gold and silver. ■ ' , Beal estate Investment* at fonr per cent were better than the best tan s in the world at six per cent.* payable in gold and silver. The decrease in England in 300 years in toe intrinsic vajne of a pound [was nearly six hundred rar cent, while all Sroperty had increased. He did not desire to present volume Of too greenbacks increased. He said again he saw no necessity for It, and he thought it entirely feasible to reduce the five-twen ties from six to five per cent. To attempt to place toe rate lower now would be, regarded aa a species o {con fiscation. He thought thCT could gradually pay off the nrlndnal of the debt until it was wiped out in 1911 or ?9Ce lfc Stained the applicability^the bill to that enri- earing thebill would place toe noteholder and the bondholder on toe same footing,’ and that the billaptariaK Into the Treasury wouldhe ample to re deem toe outstanding bonds. ■ This principle of converting bonds into notes wonld give flexibility to toe currency of the country, which would rise step by Btop until it reached the standard of Sherman concluded, after expressing the hope that the present well-founded discontent of toe peo ple in regard to bondholders wonld be removed by of New Jersey, wished to sayas a member of the Finance Committee, that he did. not disclaimed any intention to com mit apy other member of the committee to ;i hls gave notice that to-morrow he would caUup®ekpproprUUon bill.

Mr. Kaum, encouraged oy the success of Mr. O’Neill, Mr. Dodge, and Mr. Hopkins, renewed his proposition appropriating $50,000 for a postofllce and custom house at Cairo, 111., and supported it in a speech, showing the propriety of making the appro priation and the commercial greatness of Cairo, and I this time he succeeded In getting the appropriation I tD Mr. Fbice, making some remarks about the trim mings and tinsel of the Treasury Department, moved to strike out the Items for the north wing of the Treasury, a motion which Mr. Blaine denounced as the height of absurdity—a compliment to which Mr. Price responded by saying that so soon as he reached perfection he would move to the State of Maine and run for Congress. I Laughter.] Mr. Lawrence, of Onto, took the same view as Mr, Price, and sustained the amendment. The discussion might have gone on for an hour or I two had not Mr. Washburne taken steps to close all I debate Inreference to the Treasury building, bringing I the Committee tp a vote on Mr. Price’s amendment, which was rejected. # * I Mr. Lawrence, of Ohio, tried to get in an item of $25,000 for the arsenal at Coiambus, Ohio, but It was ra to strike out the item of $lOO,OOO for continuing the work on the Capitol extension, J and wanted to know where the Capitol was to be ex tended to, and who was to pay for it. Mr. Van Wyck. sustained the motion. Mr. Washburne, of Illinois, expressed his willing ness to have the item stricken out, and it was struck out, as was also $5,000 for the dome. On a motion by Mr. Poland, of Vermont, to appro priate $6OO instead of a $l,OOO for the preservation of the collections of the exploring expeditious at the Smithsonian Institute, Mr. Sklye declared that it would make man or woman sick to look at them, and he was opposed to Kaxing his- constituents for any such - purpose. [Lauenter.] The reasoning appeared conclusive, and the motion was rejected, hnt the amount was after wards fixed at $4OO. Mr. Lawrence, of Ohio, moved to strike out the item of $911,000 for the metropolitan police of the District of Columbia, and made a statement to the ef fect that wllhin the last six years Congress had ap propriated nearly $3,000,000 for purposes purely local, while there waß not a city in the Union where taxes I were so low as in the Ciiy of Washington. Nor rents so high, Mr. Sklye suggested. tr Ss* VfABHBCiWE, of Illinois, expressed his Indif ference's* whether the Item was struck out or re- who is Chairman of the Committee for the District, protested that it would be an outrage to strike oafctho appropriation, remarking that the ; government owned *50000,000 worth of property m Uie District, for which it paid not a cent or taxes. ANOTHEB OUT YAWKEB PLOT. While the question" was under consideration, the Sfeakbb took the chair, and stated that he had just received from the Superintendent of - Metropolitan Police a letter sent to him from the Superintendent of the Hew York Police, of so grave a character that he did not feel justified in withholdingit from the imme diate knowledge of the Honse. The letter was read as follows: , r „ ■ • , ■ Oppiclr OF THE BUPSBINTENDEHT OY THE METRO-1 T politaS Police, Ho. 800 Mulberry street, 1 v, Hew York, February 30,1868. J To Major A. C. MlcJiardt.

Bfchattner, President of the United States Blasting AMI Company, with a request to look up flvA-cans of nitro-g]ycsrme, which were delivered on an order from a regular customer, but which order Jb now pro nounced to he a forgery. The quantity of the ou in the cans was About 165 pounds, a quantity; sufficient to blow op the St. Nlcholaa Hotel in New Yoric. He feared that it may have been obtained in the way It was, for some fool purpose, as he latterly has had Beyond applications by unknown persona foc ftp ppx ehaeeaf the to whom he refuged tp sell pvring to their being strangers, and wonld not explain satis factorily the purpose for which they wanted it; ho in forms me that although it is given out that the stone walla of the Clerkenwell Prison were blown down with gunpowder, the material used was glycerine. How, fir, this 165 podhda baa disappeared from’ Hew Ybrk. If Intended for mischief It !a more likely for use in Washington than elsewhere. I give you this infor mation to put you on guard. , Very respectfully, John A. Kennedy, Superintendent When the paper was read, Mr. Insbhsoll, of Illinois, Ea ia: “Let us abbliah the Metropolitan.
