NEW PUBLICATIONS*
D. ' Appleton 1% Co. have ,added to their
favorite translations of the roiceartMOr,4 l lle4„
ittlhlbach a new historical noVe l l, ‘PAndreasi

time o the Austrian Emperor Frextelscl at the'
commencement of our century- ` One or two
• f the illustrations r by-Gast—
Messrs. Appleton issue,besides, "Lady Aii4;
or, ; ;.the New Una," a half-metaphoridt tale
of modern life in 'ltaly. They also add to
their, twcuPjt-cent edition of Dickens the
"Tale of Two Chies." The same house
issue an excellent French grammar, free
from the annoying tautologies of. the 011en
dorf and Fasquelle methods. The present
publication is called the "New Grammar of
French Grammars," based upon a famous
Faris work with nearly the, same title, and
edited by Dr. V. de Fives, member of the
Grammatical Society of Paris, &c. Messrs.
Appleton have reprinted the "Jerusalem" of
Tasso, by Willie, which the reader may
collate with the better known translation of
Boole.
We have received the American edition o
Le Mon& Illustre, especially printed in
New York for circulation in the United
States, with stereotypes of the woodcuts-sent
over from Paris for the purpose. The en
gravings, we observe, have the delicacy, the
French lightness of touch which we have
always observed in the native Paris edition of
the, o lortrual, and afford a contrast and
mm
a lea to 'all the American illustrated , papers.
The ,proprietors of the , latter have always
maintained that the blurred and heavy
appearance of their cuts was due to the
AMerictin system of printing. Here is a pa
per printed on Yankee presses, but printed
brilliently,.exactly, artistically. The number
for March 14th has views representing the
current topicsof excitement in most parts of
the world; for instance, the Carnival at Ve
t:dee, the cliff-buildings at Naples lately un
dermined, demolition of the Exposition build
ing, &c. The humorous cuts are by the great
Dunn and by the scarcely less famous Dau
alder. American agent, H. P. Sampers,
Walker street, N. Y.
Messrs. Leypoldt & Holt have also caused
to be translated the biographical romance of
Heribert Rau, "Mozart." The incidents of
the life of the composer of Don Giovanni
are here thrown into sequence with a great
deal of dramatic ability. This translation is
sarefal,and the book has that neat appearance
so characteristic of the house from whence it
proceeds.
Another heretofore noticed book, "In the
Year 'l3, a tale of Mechlenburg Life," by
7hitz Reuter, a Platt-Deutsch author, comes
bo is in a very neat form from the publishing
house of Leypoldt Holt. The novel is
now bound in •flexible covers, apparently
stitched with a gold ribbon, which bears the
title like a phylactery.
G. W. Pitcher sends ue the ."tjharles Dick-
Lesur..:loition of "Pickwick," by Ticknor &
Fields. This edition is interspersed with eight .
Jae tintaes of the original illustrations, the
Ant being the etching, by poor Seymour, of
lbe Club in Session, the only one he lived
belzdah; and the remaining seven comprising
the earliest achievements of "Phiz."
Part IX of the unabridged American edi
tion of Dr. Wm. Smith's Dictionary of the
Bible, edited by Prof. H. B. Hackett, D. D.,
with the caperation of Ezra Abbot, A. AL,
A. A. S., commences with " Gennesaret "
and ends with "Hat." This admirable pub
lication collates the latest results'of biblical
research.
We receive from D. Ashmead a neat and
hatefully-bound edition, issued by Roberts
Brothers, of Boston, of "On the Heights,"
Arterbach's already popular novel. We have
previously noticed the work, as popularly is
sued by Bernard Tauchnitz.
From Peterson & Bros., cheap pamphlet

THE WORK AMONG THE FREED.
KEN.
The following letter from one of the most ef
ficient teachers employed by the Pennsylvania
freedmen's Relief Association, Women's Central
Branch, gives a touching account of the recep
lion of the news of the death of James Mott, and
ether interesting details of the work among the
freedmen :
ST. HELENA IsLaun, S. C., March 15th, 1868.
Dear L * *—As our little circle of teachers are
all personal friends of James Mott, his loss was
*ll here as a lose not only to the public and to
lour freedmen, but to ourselves. He had been so
kind to each one of us in his own quiet, un
assuming way, that we all feel we shall miss that
kindness when we go North again.
Miss Lydia Schofield thought the freedmen
aught to know something of their benefactor, so
they were called together in our little v il lage
church last Sunday, and It was full to overflow
ing.
After the elders had sung some hymns and of
fered the usual prayer,
Miss Martha Schofield,
though still not strong after her illness, read from'
the desk a selection of verses which was made by
'Ellen Murray with her intimate knowledge of
She Bible, and they were singularly appropriate.
Then Miss Lydia Schofield spoke to the people,
Selling of the faithful testimony against slavers ,
'borne by the sect of Friends; of James Mott's life
long work in the cause of the suffering; of some
Ohio co-laborers, and then of the light their lives
should throw upon the duties and obligations of
She newly freed.
It was a very beautiful addresd i and was listened
' to with attention and emotion. Hastings Garrett,
one of the prominent freedmen here, spoke well
at the gratitude the freedmen owe to such a
*lend as they now met to "funeralize," to use
Ids own word, and the desire they all feel to be
„told of such friends, and to keep theta in lasting
freenern bran ce.
Ithiok if either Mr. or Mrs. Mott could have
:been present at this simple proof of their good
work, from those for whom their lives wore
'ifpent, they would not have felt that they had
'worked in vain. These people standing free—
Bread'by the moral power of the Molts and such
as theyeagerly hearing of their benefactors,
and grown** nobler in contemplating their self
saarilleing lives--eiterishing their names as that
et deaf friends;' promislui; to grow better and
4 •
witer fort ilieli - eikeir."— were 'fiditlozi' inde.ol of th e
labor of love and duty undertaken with. little
'hope or ekpectations of such earl r fruit' .
After the meeting was dismissed, Hastings,
'with his usual appreciation of opportunities,
apoke of th e necessity for education, and closed
, ,with an exhortation to rich and „ poor to come
' *id join this friendly Pennsylvania Society,
which bad for so many years helped them in
.., *any ways —toeome forward at once and assist
, itillie snpport of the schools, each putting.in
' *hoarding to his means. Ho then said the ladles
;,,sabuld tell them better than he could what steps
ollitsyshould • take, and the reasons - why they ,
r! come forward at once. He made a wave
:, thsltsud, as of referent° to me, and sat dowIV;
sikftipettateudent or, wheals, Shen said in a i
Art*. that Northern charity had!
- , Om 1400111 hAtg neigh, And':
, .
that theY should do what they, were able, us aeon .
as possible—that they, would find it much more;
economical to cooperate with soelettee at the
North, -willing to he them, than to watt till
those eeeletleshad withdrawiand then' firideayor
to support schools . Oene.dies Martha" Scho`
field then spoke most earnestly and eloquently
upon the duty of patents towards their ehildren
in the matter Oredneatioh. Then the elders and;
principal men rode and pledged' themselves tee
use all their influence with the peoPle Jo raise
-funderand-to-eontribute-largely:ffiemselves—as
soon as they could. Hastings, well knowing
that none of them have money now, and that
this zeal and good- will would have time to evapo
' rate before the next crop brought its market value
in money, immediately proposed that they should
set apart a piece of land, work it faithfully, and
devote all its produce to schools. The plan was
left for future consideration, because ono of the
elders remembered that, it was Sunday and the
house of God, and it was best to go no further in
it on this occasion.
Uncle .Siah, Who had previously spoken, had
said that they were all, poor; and each could do
but little, but this was a work for many. It
must be as it was at Indian Hill, when that great
burial mound was raised by each Indian throw
ing just one handful of earth upon it every time
he passed.
Uncle Meek said, should each man regard only
his own children, and forget all others ?
Should they leave that - poor neighbor widow
to struggle with her wholegang of children, and
give them ne chance for a free schooling ?
But for all this, I do not believe a cent can be
raised this winter, and I hope that before next
year the State Legislature will have established
free schools.
My only hope of this, however, is in the black
suffrage, for then the community will be wise
enough to demand it, and obtain it, but if the
Southern whites again have exclusive power,
good-bye to all hope of free schools.
Then, the mass of ignorance that will collect in
parts of the country inaccessible to Northern
school teachers will be a ferment Of the moat
troublesome kind for years to come, and the Go
vernment will be constantly in danger from the
mischief brewing in it.
The negroes will seek instruction, and if they
cannot get it otherwise, will pay for it. They
cannot tell good teaching from bad. Their limited
means will necessitate cheap teachers. Onlrpoor
Southerners can afford to teach here at such rates,
and consequently only Southern ideas and South
ern eulture,of the kind described by Mr.Oluistead,
will be communicated.
A good 'system of free schools, established by
Legislature, would secure the State to good order
and future allegiance to government -and common
sense, What a mistake not to leave the power
in hands that will be strong in holding on to this
long desired object !—that will work out the
means most desirable to accomplish it ! • The
whiteeCdo not want it and will not have it—will
not 'be taxed to support such a system for the
black population, for blacks predominate in this
State, and in country places there, would not be
enough white children to form schools.
We are having heavy rains ' • the whole island
is submerged. We drive nearly half the way to
school through water,and sometimes it is so'deep
that the horses are unwilling to go through it. I.
hope it will not continue so wet, or what will be
come of next year's crop? For four years now
it has been either extremely dry or very wet, and
we are weary wishing for a good, favorable sea
son, moderate in all things, which will set the
people up in prosperity, and enable them to sup
port schools, &c., &c.
We are all well. We 'have, notwithstanding
the rainy days, the largest average attendance
that we ever 'had. It is no use to regard the
weather, for if we did we should not teach more
than half the time. Our children come drip ping
and cold through the northeast storms. Some
of them walk five—some even six miles—and are
rarely absent.
I will try to write on or before next mail day.
LAUF.A U. TOWNIE.
The Veto of the Supreme Court Bill.
The following is the message of President
Johnson, vetoing the bill to amend the Judi
ciary:
To the Senate of the United States: I have
considered with such care as the pressure of
other duties has permitted, a bill entitled "An
act to amend an act entitled an act to amend
the Judiciary act," passed the 24th of September,
1789.
Not being able to approve all its provisions, I
herewith return it to the Senate, in which House
it originated, with a brief statement of my objec
tions. The first section of the bill meets my ap
probation, as for the purpose of protecting the
rights of property from the erroneous decisions
of inferior judicial tribunals. It provides means
for obtaining uniformity by appeal to the Su
preme Court of the United States, in cases which
have now become very numerous and of much
public interest, and in which such remedy is not'
now allowed.
The second section, however, takes a way the
right of appeal to that Court in cases which in
volve the life and liberty of the citizen, and leaves
them exposed to the judgment of numerous in
ferior tribunals. It is apparent that the two sec
tions were conceived in a very different spirit,
and I regret that my objection to one imposes
upon me the necessity of withholding my sanc
tion from the other. I cannot, give my assent to
a measure which proposes to deprive any person
"restrained of his or her liberty, in violation of
the Constitution, or of any treaty or law of the
United States," from the right of appeal to the
highest judicial authority known to our Govern
ment. To "secure thebleasings of liberty to our
selves and our posterity," is one of the declared
objects of the Federal Constitution.
To assure these, guarantees are provided in the
same instrument as well against "unreasonable
searches and seizures" as against the suspension
of the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus, u n
less when in cases of "rebellion or invasion the
public safety may require it." It was, doubtless,
to afford the people the means of protecting and
enforcing these inestimable privileges that the
jurisdiction which this bill proposes to take
away was conferred upon the Supreme Court of
the nation.
The act conferring that jurisdiction was ap
proved on the filth day of February, 1867, with a
full knowledge of the motives that prompted its
passage, and because it was believed to he neces
sary and right. Nothing has since occurred to
disprove the wisdom and justness of the measure,
and to modify it as now proposed, would be to
lessen the protection of the citisen from the ex
ercise of that arbitrary power, and to weaken the
safeguard of life and liberty which can never be
made too secure against illegal encroachments.
The bill not only prohibits the adjudication
by the Supreme Court of cases in
which appeals may hereafter be taken, but inter
dicts its jurisdiction on appeals which have
already been made to that high judicial body.
If, therefore, it should become a law, It will, by
its retroactive operation, wrest from the citizen a
remedy which he enjoyed at the time of. his ap
peal. It will thus operate most harshly upon
those who believe that justice has been denied
them in the inferior courts.
The legislatlon proposed in the second section,
it seems to me, is not in harmony with the spirit
and intention of the Constitution. ' it cannot fail
to affect most injuriously the just equipoise of
our system of government, for it establishes a
precedent which, if followed, may eventually
sweep away every check on arbitrary and
unconstitutional legislation. Thus far during
the existence of the Government, the Su
preme Court of the United States has
been viewed by the people as the true ex
pounder of their Constitution, and in
the most violent party conflicts its judg
ments and decrees have always been sought and
deferred to with oonfidence and respect. In
public estimation it aombined judicial wisdom
and impartiality in a greater degree than any
other authority known to the Constitution, and
any act which may be construed into or mis
taken for an attempt to prevent or evade its de
cisions on a question which affects the liberty , of
the citizen and agitates the country, cannot fail
to be , attended with, unpropitious consequences.
It Will be justlYlilif by "a largo portion of ifie .
people as an admission of the unconstitutionality
of the act on which its judgment may be forbid
den or forestalled, and may Interfere with that
willing acquiescence In its provisions which Is
necessary , for the harmonious .and efficient exe
cution of the law. •
For these reasons, thus briefly and imperfectly
stated, and for others of which want of time for-.
bids the enumeration, I deem It my duty to with
hold my assent from this bill, and to return It for
the reconsideration of Congress.

RELIQIOIIS INTELLIGEN
The 'Christian convention.
The , first order of business iii ,the afternoon;
yesterday, after the devotionst:exereisee, vittui.tbe
discussion of the question, :"Mowt can we best
promote revivals of religion?, The discussion
was opened by Rev. Daniel • 'Mardi; D. D.; and
continued, by several dergymenand laymen front
the different churches.
The_report of the Committee on Sunimary and
Resolutions was then read •and • adep ted. The_
first question was, "What can the lay members
of our churches do for Christ ?" The, following
resolution was attached:
Resolved, That by the very nature of the high
calling, and by the significance of the hallowed
name he bears, every layman of the Church is
annointed, commissioned and required to be a
prophet, priest and king, in his Divine Master's
service: a prophet, to publicly confess Christ and
testify a great salvation to sinners around him; a
priest, to devote himself as a living sacrifice of
love and gratitude to the blessed work of leading
sinners to Jesus Christ ; • and king, to aid in con
quering the world to the sceptre of the glorious
Prince of Peace.
Resolved, That this calling and commission of
every Christian layman is in full accordance with
the divinely established order and discipline of
the Church, and when faithfully discharged serves
to confirm and promote them.
A summary of views of the above topics here
follows, stating that numerous instances at di
vinely approved and successful lay efforts fur
nished in the New Testament give authority, en
couragement and counsel in regard to this topic.
Laymen can effectively servo Christ by holding
up the hands of ministers, praying for them,
sympathizing and cooperating with them in their
daily life, the sanctifying power of the means of
irace. They should keep themselves ready to
mprove every opportunity of speaking and
working for Christ in their daily intercourse
with men: A well-selected supply of tracts, to
be distributed with discretion, may be found to
be useful. The layman should be a diligent stu
dent of the doctrines of grace. They can do
much by holding meetings for prayer and in
struction among men out of Christ whenever
they can be gathered together.
The second question was: "What can the wo
men of our churches do for Christ ??
In connection with this they offered the fol
lowing:
Resolved, That in the Apostolic admonition to
Christian women, to be diligent in adorning
themselves with good works, and in the com
mendation bestowed upon those who ministered
to the Lord in the days of his humiliation, we
have intimation that the women have a wide in
fluence.
Resolved, That the best method of fulfilling
their mission as handmaids of the Lord, they
should.be governed in the duties of their peculiar
social relations by the conduct of those wno are
so honorably mentioned in the Sacred Scriptures,
in the peculiar service assigned them In the Apos
tolic Church.
A summary hero follows, showing what
women can do by a proper exercise of their pecu
liar talents.
Resolved, That we are no longer willing to bear
the reproach that the children of this world are
wiser in their generation than the children of
light, but will, from henceforth, seek to adopt
the practice of Christ, and go to sinners, and
personally canvass the community and the zeal
of the man of business, working day and night
for the cause of the Master, and will never per
mit a day' to pass without speaking, writing, or
" praying for s ome individual.
A summary here follows, showing the indi
vidual influence of the members of the Church.
The report was adopted.
Rev. Mr. Matlack offered a resolution pro
viding for the division of the city into districts,
and the appointment of a committee of fire cler
lymen and five laymen to perform missionary
abor therein. The resolution was referred to
the Committee on Resolutions.
A series of resolutions were offered calling for
the holding of meetings throughout the county
to carry out the object of this Convention. After
the usual religious exercises, the Convention ad
journed until evening, at which time, a large meet
ing took place in the Church of the Epiphany,
Fifteenth and Chestnut streets, when prayers
and exhortations were made by clergymen and
laymen of the different denominations, and the
Convention then adjourned sine die.
Palestine Eiplorations•
(From the London Times, Fob .181
Last night Mr. George Grove, the Hon.
Secretary to the Palestine Exploration Fund,
delivered a lecture on the "Exploration of
Jerusalem and the Holy Land," before a
crowded audience, at the Institute of British
Architects, Conduit street, Regent street.
In opening . his lecture, Mr. Grove said that
though all the objects of the Palestine Explo
ration Fund were not altogether akin to
those of the Institute, the members of which
he bad the honor to address,
still there was
much connected with the association
of which he had the privilege
to be the Hon. Secretary, which
could not fail to be interesting to
his audience, as their accomplish
ment would necessarily conduce to
the promotion of architecture and
the kindred arts. He then proceeded
to give a sketch of the history of the
fund, and in doing so said that it was estab
lished in 1865. It was then known that the
geology of Jerusalem and the Holy Land was
remarkable; its ethnology showed that there
had been in those places a large number of
successive races, and the archaeology of a
country which had been inhabited for many
thousands of years could not be otherwise
than full of illustrations of the customs, the
arts and the mode of warfare of the people.
Notwithstanding all these things, he might
say without hesitation that nothing definite or
certain was known about the places of which
he was speaking until a year or two ago.
Up to that time the geology had been con
jectural, and the maps of the Holy Land,
though they looked well enough, were any
thing but accurate in detail. The dearth of
articles connected with the archmology of
Palestine was remarkable in the highest de
gree. Though the Israelites were a warlike
people they bad no specimens of their
weapons, and indeed he might say that there
was not a weapon, a jewel, or any otlaer arti
cle which could serve tb illustrate the man
ners and customs of the Israelites in any mu
seum of the western world. The people of
whom he spoke were not a constructive
people, and their country had been frequently,
overrun. It was in some degree like Bald
gium, which bad for years been made
the cockpit where rival powers might try
their strength; but there was this great differ
ence between them—that in Belgium there
were relics to illustrate its history,while none
remained in Palestine,although we knew that
the Israelites lived, and fought, and wor
shipped. Continuing the history of the ex
ploration, Mr. Grove said that in the winter
of 186, a few months after the foundation of
the fund, Captain Wilson, accompanied by
Mr. Anderson, an experienced surveyor, pro
ceeded to Beyrout, and thence worked down
to Jerusalem. The immediate objects of their
labors were that they fixed the latitudes and
longitudes of 70 different places,aud explored
the major part of the country north of the city
iteelE
In 1867 Lieutenant Warren went out, and
he was still in the Holy Land. Lieutenant
Warren had procured complete details for a
- map of the' whole• - country, WWI cgicas'new
being constructed under his (the lecturer's)
supervision. He didnot propose to go into
details on the subject on which he.was speak
ing, but he might give them a general out
line of the crformation of Jerusalem. The
city stood on the end of a platform of a table
land, and was cut off at the Southern side
from the opposite hills by two deep ravines,
which made it inaccessable in that quarter.
Another ravine ran through the centre of the
city, which was called the Tyroman by .
Josephus, because in that district the cheese
makers lived, or the Tyrians had at,
some time or other taken up their reel
demos in that neighborhood. The city was,
therefore, divided by ravines WI? three
bills. The whole architectural interpst 4 of
i t
Jerusalem was centred in that part ofkdir„im,
which the Temple stood. Lientemmt Nya -,,

parts of the walls which were already visible
and would give the ifeightrattlnrwintheast- -
ern and southwestern angles respectively of
about 190 feet and 180 feet. -, Thette
results would seem to bear out what Joss
phus had stated,that if ose looked down from
that high wall he would feel dizzy; for taking
it that the wall was 180 feet high, and that
one had to look down towards a deep ravine,
there was nothing unreasonable in the bisto-.
rian asserting what lie had stated. It was
proposed to investigate the whole system of
sewage and water supply in ancient Jeru
salem; and also that remarkable , live rock,
some Go feet by 40 feet, which contained a
cave in which Constantine believed' that our
Lord was buried. These explorations would
doubtless be more interesting to the
members of the institute of architects,
for they would baevitably throw a much
needed light on the history of a great era of
their art. Herod was a building prince, and
Jerusalem was the great centre of his enter
prise. Among the questions which would
arise to them would be the following: Did he
employ Roman workmen, and if so, what in
fluence did , the climate and customs of the
country exercise on the works of the builders?
The Palestine Exploration Fund was extend
ing its work, and he asked the assistance of
the institute to promote it. If those who
were endeavoring to explore the Holy Land
were liberally assisted, they would bring the
archaeology of that most interesting of coun
tries from the gloom which now enveloped it
into the purer air and serener sky of scieatiflc
investigation. Mr. Grove concluded his lec
ture, of which the above is but a brief sum
mary, amid loud and continued applause.
Longevity--.He Thinks
Beecher on
Short Litc - a Bless
Henry Ward Beecher recently delivered a
sermon on Longevity, taking as his text the
chapter of Genesis which contains the gene
alogies of the antediluvian patriarchs.
Among other things, he said:
In the beginning the human race seems to
have been created animals; not without the
great elementary forces which a constitute the
mind, but these forces were undeveloped, and
held in abeyance. It was the physical that
was largely developed at first. We see this
from the statements of the text. They at
tained what would now be considered an ex
traordinary old age before they reached
the age of puberty. Their first children
were begotten when they wore one hundred,
or one hundred and forty years old; we think
that to be old age. Then came four
or five hundred years, afterward, of
life, indicating slow maturation. What
coarse, slow-growing, inefficient crea
tures they were ! Ido not think that Adam
was any different from them. There is an
impression that the human race began at the
top, and slid from the top down to the bot
tom; Ido not believe it. I think that Adam
was a child; that he never had a thought,and,
with the exception of eating the forbidden
fruit, scarcely performed an act that was
thought worthy of memory; and the name
which has filled all history and the . world,
is purely- and merely a name. - There
Beetle to have been, in his life, and in
the whole of it, nothing • worthy to have
been remembered. My impression is very
strong-that the whole human family began
at the bottom and worked its way up to the
present time, and that it is destined
to work its way up to an inconceivably higher
level than humanity now stands upon. It is
probable that in their eight or ten hundred
years, these creatures did not live as much as
we do in eighty. A life of eighty years,which
does in that time the work, spread out in
their case over eight hundred years, is a vast
step in the progress of man. Considering the
present nature of man, longevity, such as
theirs, would be a great misfortune. While
yet hunlan life was inert; while capacity was
undeveloped; while the accomplishing power
was very small, it would seem to be in ac
cordance with divine wisdom to lengthen out
the scope of life, that man might have time to
be and to do something. But as they learned,
there were many reasons why human life
should be diminished in its scope.
We are accustomed to speak of death as
misfortune; we almost never reflect that dying
is a great benefit. The most of men get
through when they are sixty or seventy years
old. They get through; there is nothing left
for them to be or to do. And although they
do not want to die, there is no conceivable
reason in most instances why they should
live. They cumber the ground. Hero and
there is an exceptional case. The beauty of
a ripe old age is the very thing that puts to
shame an ordinary old age—useless, cum
brous.
For many other reasons it would be unfor
tunate if men lived, in the full possession of
their powers, to an exceeding great age.
Suppose that some men in New York, whose
names are familiar, who have the power of
making and amassing money and property,
and who wield the great administrativeinflu
ence which accompanies great wealth; sup
pose that they, instead of passing away in a
few years, and making room for others,
should live five hundred years, already
having scores of millions in their hands,
and already wielding a mighty influ
ence through their wealth and experience,
nothing on earth could prevent their being
despotic in the commercial world. What a
disparity there would be ! lf, with the tone
and temper of modern manhood, men lived
five hundred years, what chance would there
be for a man at fifty to cope with a man of
four hundred years. ilow would one end of
society, the upper end, by its position, by its
experience, by its knowledge, by its wealth
—if these were held selfishly or despotically'
—weigh down and oppress the other side!
There was a divine mercy, manifested
in the measurement of the duration
of human life in this -respect; so
that a man lives long enough to develop
his forces and to accomplish a certain amount
but not long enough to use that accomplish
ment as a means of obstruction to others, or,
as a means of despotism. When men, there
fore, are wicked, and are holding high sway,
we comfort ourselVes by saying, "Well, they
can't live forever !" And they cannot. The
shortening of human life, and the dying of
men in this economy of life, is very often
the best event of their lives. Even of men that
are quite useful, it is their duty to die; and
when they die,they frequently, as Sampson did,
accomplish agreat work of deliverance. In life
they have done, it may be, very much . Of
good or evil; now let them take themselves
out of the way, and they will do soraething
more. • When a great tree is cut down in the
forest, yen will see that around it are twenty
trees that before had been overshadowed and
had no chance to get the sun; all now begin
to lift their tops up, and to drink at the foun
tain of life, and start up. Now, that the old,
umbrageous
monarch is gone, there is a
chance for many, more. So there are many
_consolations in the death of men—if the right
ones only would die.

Pe Montage wad road, and 'Mr. Davte,..of , ffen-
Weide asked that the consideratkm be postponed
until to-morrow at one o'clock, reminding them that
no opportunity had been given for debate, the bill
haviegbeen pained after an frxecutive session on the
day when it was up in hid absence, though he had
waited until five o'clock to express his opposition to
it. lie had not as yet had an opportunity to investi
gate in regard to ft.
'Mt; Ilesinmens. of Indiana, asked that it ehottid
be postponed. Be, too, had an opportunity to con
eider the very important measure, which had paseed
-the Senate under unusual circumstances, from which
attention had not been called to it. It was under
stood that the Supreme Court had declined to take
action in a bill now before it, until the will of Cou
lees& on this bill bad been expreesed. If that was so
it was necessary to hurry the passage of the bill, and
the only question was. whether sufficient time would
*be given ,to examine this the same as other important
measures.
Mr. WlLLialel reminded them that, from the im
pending trial, there was very little time in which to
+esnehler bills. This bill simply involved the repeal
of 'matt passed last year giving appellate jurisdic
tion to the supreme Court, a matter clearly within
the ember° of Congress. If a vote could be taken
tomorrow. however, be had no objection to a reason
able, amount of discussion.
tOrtteral Senators on the Democratic side suggest-
Mrede dal after to-morrow.
Jonlimee of Maryland, thought the public in
terest did"not demand that the bill should be pushed
through, to day. The Supreme Court, though they
bad, been urged to disregard the pendency of ,thie
arresenteesed proceed In the .decision of the case
below them, under the act proposed to be repealed
by Ite-IMddetermined not to proceed with it in con
, fotthlty - With their action in a former case which he
recoUl d ted.
Ile tailed the circumstances of a case appealed
from - leeveda while it was a Territory pending the
-deaden of which Congress admitted the Territory as
n State without providing for the continuance of a case
tW.t was before the Supreme Court, when the Court
held back the case until Cc:ingress should have the op
portunity to decidewhether the jai/diction. should
continue or not. Ile was glad to snow that the Court
bad decided to withhold the decision in the caae now
before theta, when they knew that there was pending
before Congress a law repealing the act ender which
the tome came before the Supreme Court,
Mr. Tircientrm.. of Illinois-I do not attach the im
portance to this bill which some others do. In my
view., it does not take from the Supreme Court the
jurisdiction of any case now before I It simy re
peals so much of an act of February 11, 1867. as allows
appeals c uss Circuit Court to the Supreme Court
in habeas cages arising under said act. and in
my judgment there is no case under the act of 1867
now before that Court Under the act of 1789, allow.
ing United States Courts to issue writs of habeas
.corpus, no appeal lay to the Supreme Court. as haa
often been decided. That act gave authority to issue
the writ to all cases of persons deprived of their lib
erty under United States authority.
The act of 1t67 was mewed to provide for cases not
before provided for, to relieve persons deprived of
their lthe iy ofder color of State laws in the rebel
Stetes, and such acts as the apprentice laws of
Maryland, whereby colored citizens were virtually
enslaved. was in these cases that the act of 1667
allowed appeals to the Supreme Court, and not in cares
which aroee under the act of 1789. What was Xc-
Carditee care ? We bad lived from the foundation of
the government till 1867 without any general law th
eorizing appeals in habeas corpus cases to the
Su
preme Court, and our liberties would be in no crust
danger, as the Preeldent seems to suppose, if we cou
tinned without thch a law. The /Supreme Court has
not decided, as the Senator from Maryland ennposet,
that it has a care before it under the set of 1867, and
Ido not believe It ever would so decide. Unice. it
did, this act would not affect any pending cues. Nor
is it true, as the Senator from Pennsylvania ( Mr.
Duckalew) assumes. that the Senate passed this bill
without consideration.
The Senator from Pennsylvania called attention to
it at the time, and called the yes. and naye, which
Sentesen, and the record shwas that thirty-eight
ators were-present, and _that thirty-two voted in
favor of the bill and six against it I suppose that is
more than the riveragevote on the passage of bills.
Mr. Door men asked why, if there was no import
ance in this measure-if it affected no case id the Bn
previa Court-if it was all a deinsicrn on the partof
Sthatorte as the last speaker seemed to thine, there
Wes such Mate In pulsing the hill ?
Be (Mr. Doolittle) thought there was a very im
portant case pending in the Supteme Court di it
ogld be affected by it, which the Senator, as counsel,
tad pending tion to dismiss, and which was alleged
to bnder this act. When tht y declined to
diemiee It on the ground that theyhad no jurisdiction,
the presumption was that theethought they had jurie
diction. It was a case brought up on an appeal from
the i Crcuit Court of Mlesissitmi, and involving the
consttutionality of the reconstruction acts in con
ferring power npon military courts to try individuals
without grand jury presentments or trials. If the
Senator believed that this was not en important case.
and that the reconstruction seta were constitutional,
why undertake to take away the jurisdiction of the
-Court? They might as well look the matter squarely
' In the face. It was because -they feared those laws
wooed be decided unconstitutional that they desired
to take away the jurisdiction of the Court. else why
- this baste to pass the bill I No other reason could be
levee.
Mr, Segwene 'rose to speak, when Mr. Trumbull
sahl,will the Senator from Nevada allow me to read a
eenteace to show the Senator; front Wisconsin (Mr.
Doolittle), that he is mistaken? I understood him to
-my thatthe Supreme Court have decided on a motion
to dismies the appeal. that the MCardle case is a
case under the act of 1E67.
Mr. Dooterni-I said they refused to dismiss it,
and therefore the presumption was that the Court had
that opinion of it.
Mr. Tutietuuri-Let us see what the Court said
itself reading as follows ; "Every question of tinb
stance which the Circuit Court could decide upon,the
return of the habeas corpus, including the ques
tion of its own jurisdiction, may be revised here
on appeal from its dual judgment, oat the inquiry on
this motion into the jurisdiction of the supreme
Court *could be premature. It would extend to the
merits of the case In that court. "
Mr. Doourrte -I understand the Court to:say that
as to the jurisdiction or the Court below they do not
presnme to pass upon that, bnt as to their own juris
diction that they have to review the whole case.-
Mr. Tetruncu.-Let there be no misunderstanding
between us upon this point. The Supreme Court ex
preaely refueed to decide whether the Circuit Court
had jurisdiction of the McCardle case under the act of
1867. If the Circuit Court bad no jurisdiction under
the act of 1867. clearly the Supreme Court could have
no jurisdiction by appeal under the act of 1867, be
calm before 1867, nu appeal lay on habeas corpus
vases to the Supreme Court. It was the law of 1867
that gave the right of appeal to the Supreme:pony.
- laider the act of 1769,ti0 ouch thing as an appeal in
a habeas coilias case to th e Supreme Court was
known, as the Supreme Courthad often decided; but
the question was whether in this particular case, the
Circuit Court had jurisdiction under the act of 1867,
, . which question the. Court refused to decide until the
merits of the cam canna up. Suppose it appears on
the merits that the jurisdiction In this particular else
refentra to weekender the act of 1789, then as a matter
of course the Supreme Court bad no jurisdiction,be
canoe ne'appeal to the Sepreme Court lay tinder the
act of 37en. -That is what the Court decided.
Mr. Dooterrut said that was what he understood,
that the Supreme Conrt had - decided that they had the
jurisdiction of • the Court below, but as to whether
they had jariedletion in the case they did not decide,
but lett it to come up on its merits.
Mr. BUSICALSW called attention to the circumstances
under vitdCitthe bill was peeled over a motion of his
:to postpone. The Senator who called it up had refused
-to make any explanation of, the bill in_response to his
(Mr, Backalew's) request, simply eaying it was an
amettdmett to repeal a certain act which he named.
her. WemeoettLinterrneted to thy that he would not
be governed in his action by what the Supreme Court
. would do. Be desired, however, that the bill should
be acted upon this week; as there would be no oppor
,
- thrifty next week.
• Mr. Rues/dam. of ,Pennsylvania, said he simply
' rose to - disavow altogether for himself the imputation
that members of the Senate were in fault in allowing
- the bill to pus.
lie had called the yeas and nays upon the amend

the teenators at the late hour when.it was passed were
fatigued, and were unprepared to discover it. Ile
- would not agree to fix a limit for debate under the
-circumstances. • l-.
Mr. SUMNER, of Massachusetts, said it was, well
known there was executive business before them, and
he_worild move to go into Bxecative session, with the
-- .understanding that this bill , would be taken up to
morrow,, and that it vote would be reached at four or
five o'clock. Ile withdrew the motion temporarily.
afe,..epreweave -thought --Congress. could_ legislate

In its business, and that blunder should be at

Mr. flatexnucxs asked how many cases had come to

Mr. STSWAILT said, not very many, although he had

Mr. Fessissrparr here suggested that as the friends

offered.
_l,t) submit
an amendment to the drat amendment of the Senate,
by, specifying the product of petroleum as "above the
spt4lic'grelvitY of 82."'
Mr. 13cirsofmt Said he was instructed by the com
mittee to insist that there should bo no action in this
bill on the suhject, of oil. $e could not, • therefore,
admit the amendment.
My. Dswas,, of Massachusetts, inquired whether
the tax of one, tenth of one per cent, on sales was to
be affected by this bill. •
Mr. hCEMICIf, replied that it was not.
/Sir. Dews called , attention to the itomilibiency, ,of
the description need In the last section in reference to
distilleties. The words ' , place or locality" wore not
sufllcietitly definite. ' Something more definite in de
scription should be need, or no criminal prosecution
could possibly be bad.
Mr. HCIIISNOK admitted that, as the bill Was a pehal
statute, it would be better to make the terms more
definite. Ho would. therefore, substitute for the
words "place or locality." the words "district, city,
town, township, or parish."
Mr. I..foorrz. of` Pennsylvania, tailed attention to
the fact that the tax on cotton was imposed by section
114. which was repealed by thiti bill, whereas the act
taking the tax oft cotton only applied to the cotton of
3868.
hi r. Elcirrnerc said that if that •wore so the tax would
be only repealed twice.
hie. Ahmson said that the gentleman from Pennsyl
vania must have got bold of the wrong compilation,
because raw cotton was not taxed under either sec-
lions tl4 or 95.
Mr. Brmarini called attention to the frauds in the
collecticn of the tobacco tax.
Mr. ECIMNOIt admitted that there was cheating all
round, and that only a very insignificant portion of the
tax was collected. .The .general bill which was to be
reported would contain' stringent provisions in regard'
to tobacco. It was owing to the pressure of the occa
sion that the section provided in the general bill in
reference to whisky was transferred to this bilL It
was done at the suggestion of the Secretary of the
Treasury and the Commissioner of Internal Revenue.
Be sent to the Clerk's desk and had read a letter from
Chicago denouncing the wholesale, barefaced frauds
practical there by distiliere and °dicers of the rove-
nos.
Mr. Msyrenn, of Tennwiee, suggested the gram
matical change of the words "distilled spirit/341re
being sold," into the words "distilled spirits a re
elll ng, " and the Honse agreed to the transformation
from the passive to the active sense of the verb "to
sell."
The previous question was seconded. and the hour
to which Mr. Schenck was entitled to close the dis
cussion, he parc.elled out toad members who aesired
to speak to the amendment.
Mr. SCOFIrLD appealed to the House to concur with
the Senate in the first amendment, reducing the tax
on petroleum. The argument that petroleum, "the
poor man'swas cheap, now might be used for
taxing mile, a light, or, bibles, or spelling-books,
and for his part he wotud as soon vote for taxing
spelling.ba,ks as' for taiinglhe light by which the
poor boy studied his spelling-book at night.
The subject was discussed in a similar sense by
Messrs. Spalding, Hubbard of West Virginia, Banks,
3loorhead, Judd, Ingersoll tied others.
Mr. lirse.Ace; and Mr. Fix spoke on opposite
sides on the Senate amendment in reference to the
tax on machinery under contracts with the govern-
meat.
Mr.:lvornfxa. favored the removal of the tax on
coal oil, and putting it on benzine and naphtha, which
are the explosive ingredients in "the poor man's
light, - and which make it really •ehe poor man's mar
der "
Mr. Scale 14 , M admitted that those explosive mate
rials ought to be taxed out of existence, and the gen
eral bit! would take care of them, but the Senate
amendment did not touch that difficulty, and there
fore the greater reason for rejecting it and leaving the
whole matter open.
Mr GARFIELD, of Ohio, spoke for two minutes in
reference to the provision as to the tax on sales.' He
preferred the ameadmnt of the Senate to that pro
posed in its place by the Committee of :Mayo and
Means, though for his part he was opposed to both
of them.
Tdr, Au.isora, who held the floor, replying on the
part 'of the Committee of Ways and Means to, the
various objections made to the bill, defended , the
proposition of the committee. eayine that the com
mittee proposed in its general bill to tax, all manu
facturers on their sales.
Eft' GARFIELD thought that was a reason why the
whole punter should be recommitted to the general
bill.
Mr. Amasorr went_on to say that the committee
proposed to tax manufacturers one- flfth of ond
per cent. on theirsates, instead of one-tenth, as now
imposed.
Mr. likixent, of Pennsylvania" having had an op.
portunity recently to know the. views of intelligent
manufacturers and wholesale dealers in Philadelphia,
expressed himself in favor of the general views of the
Committee of Ways and Means.
He . said in offering the proposition to refer the
bill back with instructions, he had two objects in
view. One was to equalize taxation so that the
commercial and importing Interests should not
be made to bear an unfair proportion of the bur
thene of government, and the other to preserve to the
government the revenue which would be loot by this
wholesale reduction upon manufacturee. lie coald
not see why all the other great interests of the coun
try ehould be made to bear the public hurthens and
that one class should be - favored to - their injury.
The sum called for was about sanocoMo, of thie,
more than one halt was collected by duties on foreign
goods. This enhanced :the cost, to- the consumer to
that extent, and if domestic goodrZare to be reduced
as proposed under this bill, it would operate as an
obstruction to commerce, and the country would thus
lose revenue from that souse. The revenue would
lose $60,000 . 000 by this bill. How was the deficit to be
made up? The oney musticome from some source,
either by taxation or borrowing. The latter must not
he resorted to, and as for the former, a bid policy is
being adopted which will come home to plague the
country hereafter. besides being unfair to commerce,
to the consumer. indeed, to all the:material interests,
for the benefit of the manufacturing districts of the
country.
Mr. DAWES argued that the House should not con
cur in the Senate amendment in reference to the tax
on sales because it applied to articles on the free , list.
and let thematter go to a committee of conference.
Mr. Marsala) complimented the ingenuity of the
person who recommended that there should be no tax
levied on any article, but that the expenses of taegov
enimeLt should be paid by draft on the Treasury.: As
to the argument made in favor of reducing thetas on
the "poor man's light," he said it was not naked for by
the poor men, but by those who represent the petro
leum capitalists.
Mr. VAN Wren, of New York, spoke a,, , rainst the
proposition in reference to the whisky tax, because it
reversed the very first principle of law, and subjected
men to the pains and penalties of being considered
guilty until they proved their innocence.
Mr. Aemsox yielded the floor, and the discussion
was finally closed by
Mr. Scuxecre, who declared that after a full, thor
ough and earnest consideration of the whole subject,
the Committee of Ways and Means had made its rec
ommendations in reference to petroleum and the other
subjects of the bill. He would not say that all the talk
about taxing "the poor man's light" was dernagogism or
boob, but tie would say that it was fully answered by
the fact that it has been growing cheaper and cheaper
under the operation of the tax upon it, until now the
people of this country had the cheapest artificial light
in the world.
The House proceeded to vote on the amendments.
The first amendment of the Senate reducing the tax
on petroleum one-half was concurred in—yens, 76;
nays, VI
The second amendment of the Senate as to tax on
machinery contracted for by the government wart non
concurred in.
The amendment reported by the Senate Committee
of Ways and Means as a substitute for the third
amendment of theliemate in reference to drawbacks
was agreed to.
The amendment reported by the Committee of
Ways and Means as a substitute for the fourth amend.

COINAGE.
lizttar, of Pennsylvania, introduced a bill for
the coinage of nickel copper pieces of five cents and
under. Referred to the Committee on Coinage,
Weights and Measures.
PACIFIC) RAILROAD TARIFF".
The House then proceeded to the consideration of
the joint resolution introduced by Mr. Washburn, of
Wisconsin, to regulate the tariff on freight and passen
gers transported by the Pacific Railroad companies and
their branches, and
Mr. PRICE took the floor to reply to the arguments of
Mr. Washburn made last week.
Mr. Woon, of New York, alluded to a newspaper
paragraph which be had recently seen, stating that
there were not a dozen sober membwa in Congress.
One of them was the Speaker of the House, and anoth
er was Senator Wilson,. of Massachusetts. In contra
diction of that he declared that there were more sober
men in the Fortieth Congress than there had been for
the last fifty years. Ho:wanted that statement to go
before the country.
It was very easy to make general statements affect
ing the character of members, and the gentleman from
Wisconsin (Mr. Washburn) had been indulging in
that business when be made insinuations the other
day against the Committee on the Pacific Railroad lind
members of the Douse generally. He yielded a few
minutes to
Mr Atiasekl, of lowa, who replied to the remarks
of Mr. Washburn in refexence to the Sioux City Rail
road, and declared that the line of the road was but a
small deviation from a straight line east and Iraq..
Mr. PRICE, of lowa, resuming the floor, referred to
a remark of. Mr. Washburne, of Illinois, the other
day, insinuating that some members were agents of
the Pacific Railroad, the insinuation being against
himself (Mr. Price) and his colleague (Mr, Dodge.)
What was meant by that insinuation ? He denied, the
assertion that it cost more to-day to transport pas
sengers and freight from Omaha to Denver than it
did before the Pacific Railroad was opened, and
showed that passengers were carried between those
points now for about one-third of what it cost
before.
He yielded eighteen minutes of his time to hia col
league (Mr. Dodge), who also 'made some paints in
opposition to the remarks made last week by Mr
Washburn, of Wisconsin. Instead of the hundred
millions which that gentleman had said the Union
Pacific Railroad WOldfl get from the govern cent, the
emits only amounted to $51,650,000, as follows
5:31 miles at 016,000 ' $8,544,0130
300 miles at .. 48.000 11,400,000
SUS miles ...... 000 23, 736, 000
As to the rates for freights and passengers he
argued that they were moderate in view of the cost
of fuel and materials, of the absence of local trade,
end of the rates charged by some of the Southern and
Southwestern Railroads
Mr. PRICE demanded the previous question on the
motion to refer the joint resolution to the Committee
on the Pacific Railroad.
Mr. Wasnat - artz, of Illinois. expressed the hope
that the discussion would not be closed on this very
important subject.
Mr. PRICE said he had promised a great many
gentlemen that he would make the motion to refer
to-day. and would call the previous question on that
motion. He, therefore. insisted upon it.
On a division the House stood 54 to 31.
There being no quorum present the House, on
motion of Mr. WAIIHRURNE. of Illinois, at 4:35 r
adjourned, leaving the motion for the previous
queetion pending.
