FRAN K LIN'S At:a 0 MOO RA El 11, 1 RESTORED n
Ma. Bioxtow.—As the most winning bit of con
fildential diary in American , theist - tures-the
lt earliest self-revelation committed to public
Charity by any public man since Machiavel
turned himself inside out in the "Principe"—and
'the easiest bit of pictorial prose since some of the
detailed work of De Foe—the fragment of
Autobiography left by Franklin will retain its
interest in the literature of free thought as long
as men like philosophy and as long as philoso
phers are men. The world must travel many a
time around its orbit, the advance of empire may
develop upon more than one now barbarous
shore before the simple times shall form again in
which a man of talent may combine at once the
qualities of Cincinnatus, Roger Bacon, Talley
rand and Rousseau--be at once patriot, diplo
matist. athlete, epigrammatist, fireman, savan
and prattler.
When such a man yields to the gossipy inclina
tion which forms an essential side of his nature,
and tells, with inimitable simplicity, a part of his
story to, first the family and then the public,
everybody is bound to listen to the homely en
chantment; and as time rolls forward and man
ners lose much of the primitive naïve graces /
there is more and more of a craving for the rode
exactitude of the original tale, with all its smack
of pioneer times and half-achieved self-cialture.
So that the day nas already come, although the
republic' of Franklin is yet in its infaupy, for
relishing the fac-simile of this Biography such
as the editor presents it, with all its energetic
errors . in its head, with its courageous slang,'
and its contemptuous inconsistencies in ortho
graphsl.
Mr. Bigelow's feat, • stripped of the natural
cackle with which men arc prone to magnify their
office, is simply this. While serving his country as
Minister to France, and living in the neighbor
hotid Of the Arch of Triumph of the Star at Paris,
within. a few minutes' time from his great prede
ceSear's residence at Passy, Mr. Bigelow formed
the acquaintance of Mons. P. de Senermont,
collateral descendant of le Veillard, the Mayor of
Passy at the time of Franklin's sojourn there,
This gentleman, aware of the scholarly procllvi
tied'of the Minister, committed to his hands a
parcel consisting of two or three items : a book
of faded manuscript,which was nothing less than
the original manuscript of Franklin, as presented
by him to his old friend, the Mayor of Passy; a
sheet of memoranda; and a portrait in
pastel, drawn by Duplessis in 1783, during
the residence of Franklin at Passy. The
natural result of this committal is the republica
tion of the MS. with antiquarian fidelity, accom
panied by a copy of - the portrait and all the memo
randa; and a little history of the transaction,
which explains in
. a few words how it is that the
world of literature has been defrauded for half
a century of the legitimate text of this most fas
cinating of journals.
Franklin died X590.\ The earliest issue of the
autobiography was in French, in 1791—the ac
quisition of the MS. by the, translator; Gibelin,
being an unsolved mystery; a retranslation of
this into English was published in 1793, being
the first copy issued in our language. This
translated translation was not only the sole
English version in print for a quarter 'of" a
century, but continues to this day to be
republished by some of the largest houses,
not only in Europe but in America, under
the impression that it is both genuine and com
plete. Twenty-seven years after the philosopher's
death his grandson, William Temple Franklin,
publishes the 1817 edition, heretofore unim
peached as the standard authority. This grand
son (eon of William Franklin, the Governor of
..New Jersey, to whom the MB. la addressed; who
was a Tory and British pensioner,) comes out
with his grandfather's autobiography after a de
lay that may possibly be explained by considera
tions of a corrupt nature. The grandson, in pre
paring the text for the public, interpolates an ad
dress to his'own father, with the style of "Gov
ernor of New Jersey," whence it happens that the
first phrase of the current autobiography of
Franklin was not written by Franklin. Directly
after this decorous editor suppresses the fact
that his great uncle John had been a dyer, and
that the autobiographer had been named after an
uncle Benjamin, "there being a particular affec
tion between him and my father." These family
reserves attended to, he prints the memoir pretty
ranch as it stands, only with a constant and pro
voking succession of euphemisms and emascula
tion& When the writer is vigorous and Saxon,
then the compiler is shocked and solemn. Rei
mer "Used like a pig poison'd," says the MS..
`'stared with astonishment," says tile print; Collin
eacquir'd a habit of sotting with brandy;"says the
MS.; "drinking of brandy," says decorum; t 4 he
same poor printing devil's "dramming" becomes
`‘dram drinking;" and the other compositors,
instead of "guzzlere of beer," are "drinkers of
beer."
But this cella° princeps of 1817, explains Mr.
Bigelow, was not printed from the original MBB.,
but from a copy. The evidence of this is found
in an omission of the last eight pages. Besides
this, on the fly leaves of the autograph is in
scribed a memorandum in French and English,
in the presumed handwriting of the do Sonar
mont family. From this we learn that Temple
Franklin obtained from the widow le Veillard
"the correct and tine copy given by hi., grand
fat her," as more convenient for the printer.
"If I give it you," said the widow of Frank
lin's old neighbor, "I shall have nothing more of
our friend."
"I will give you," replied William Temple
Franklin, "in place of the copy, the original
manuscript of my grandfather."
This "original manuscript" remained in the
de Senarmont family until the gift of it, last
yea:r, to Mr. Bigelow.
The gains to the reader, then, are just those: a
pure text ; an amusing sketch of the completed
memoir,as contemplated by Franklin; eight pages
more of the memoir itself, describing Franklin's
mission to London in 1757 with a petition from
the Provincial Deputies about the disputed taxes;
and a new portrait.
tie sketch or outline of the work as it was to
be Is peculiarly satisfying, as it shows which
points in Franklin's existence 'were regarded by
him gm the capital ones, with many a dry com
ment thrown Into a word, in fact the whole his
tory of a life of ups and downs condensed by a
sort of stenography to a paragraph. We should
like to print this synopsis entire ; but in suitable
economy of space we will omit the portion re
lating to the memoir as we have it, and simply
copy the sketch of the rest of the autobiography
us it existed in the plan of the writer, showing
the topics intended to be treated of, quite down
to the conclusion of Franklin's diplomatic career.

The first words we have quoted ("I am sent to
England. Negotiation there:") of this schedule,
were expanded to eight pages of the MS., added
thereto after the copy was made from which the
ordinary edition is printed; this supplement, still
in the writing of Franklin, shows a sudden un
steadiness of hand, the imprint of his pain. We
cannot forbear quoting his account of these tax
disputes, the forerunners of the Revolution. It
was written in the last year of Franklin's life,
and now for the first time sees the light in English
print:
"As soon as I was settled in a lodging . Mr.
Charles bad provided for me, I went to 'visit Dr.
Fothergill, to whom I was strongly recom
mended, and whose counsel respecting my pro
ceedings I was advis'd to obtain. He was against
an immediate complaint to government, and
thonhht the proprietaries should first be per
80Dany appli'd to, who might possibly be induc'd
by the interposition and persuasion of some pri
vate friends, to accommodate matters amicably.
I then waited on my old. friend and correspon
dent, Mr. Peter Collinson,who told me that John
Banbury, the great Virginia merchant, had re
quested to be informed when I should arrive,that
he might carry me to Lord Granville's, who was
then Presider' t of the Council and wished to see me
as soon as possible. I agreed to go with him the
next morning. Accordingly Mr. El aribury called
for me and took me in his carriage to that no
bleman's, who received me with great civility ;
and after some questions respecting the present
state of affairs in America and discourse there
upon, he said to me : "You Americans have
wrong ideas of the nature of your con
stitution ; you contend that the king's in
structions to his governors are not laws, and
think yourselves at liberty to regard or disregard
them at your own discretion. But those instruc
tions are not like the pocket instructions given
to a minister going abroad, for regulating his con
duct in some trifling point of ceremony. They are
first drawn up by judges learned in the laws; they
are then considered, debated, and perhaps
amended in Council, after which they are signed
by the king. They are then, so far as they relate
to you, the law of the land, for the king is the
LEGISLATOR or THE (COLONIES." I told his lord
ship this was new doctrine to me. I had always
understood from our charters that our laws were
to be made by our Asscmblies,to be presented in
deed to the king for his royal assent, but that be
ing once, given the king could not repeal or alter
them.. And as the Assemblies could not make
permanent laws without his assent, so neither
could he make a law for them without theirs.
He tinned me I was totally mistaken. I did not
think so however, and his lordship's conversa
tion having a little alarmed inn as to what might
be the sentiments of the court concerning us, I
wrote it down as soon as I return'd to my
lodginge. I recollected that about 20 years be
fore, a clause in a bill brought into Parliament
by the ministry had proposed to make the king's
instructions laws in the colonies, but the clause
was thrown out by the Commons, for which we
adored them as our friends and friends of liberty,
till by their conduct towards us in 1765 it seemed
that they had refused that point of sovereignty
to the king only that they might reserve it for
themselves.
After some days, Dr. Fothergill having spoken
to the proprietaries, they agreed to a meeting
with me at Mr. T. Penn's house in Spring Gar
den. The conversation at first consisted of
mutual declarations of disposition to reasonable
accommodations, but I suppose each party had
its own ideas of what should be meant by rea
sonable. We then went into consideration of our
several points of complaint, which I enumerated.
Tee proprietaries justify'd their conduct as well
as they could, and 1 the Assembly's. We now
appeared very wide, and so far from each other
in our opinions as to discourage all hope of
agreement. However, It was concluded that I
should give them the heads of our complaints in
writing, and they promis'd then to consider
them.
1 did so soon after, but theyput the paper into
the hands of their solicitor Ferdinand John Paris,
who managed for them all their law business in
their great suit with the neighboring proprietary
of Maryland, Lord Baltimore, which had subsis
ted seventy years, and wrote for theta all their
papers and messages in their dispute with the
Assembly. He was a proud, angry man, and as
I had occasionally in the answers of the Assem
bly treated hie papers with some severity,
OAT being really weak in point bf argument
and haughty in expression, he had, con
ceived a mortal enmity to 'me, which discovering
itself whenever wo met, I declined the proprie
tary's propbeal that he and I should discuss the
heads of complaint between our two selves, and
reined treating with any one of them. They
then by his advice put the paper into the hands
of the Attorney and Solicitor-General for their
opinion and counsel upon it, where it lay,
unanswered a year wanting eight,days,
during which time I made frequent dmands
of an answer from the proprietaries, but
without obtaining any other than that they had
not yet received the opinion of the Attorney and
Solicitor-General. What it was when they did
receive it Inever learnt, for they did not commu
nicate it to me, but sent a long message to the
Assembly drawn and signed by Paris, reciting
my paper, complaining of its want of formality,
as a rudeness on my part, and giving
a flimsy justification of their conduct, add
ing that they should be willing to accommodate
matters if the Assembly would send out some per
son of candour to treat with them for that purpose,
intimating thereby that I was not such.
"The want of formality or rudeness was, prob
ably, my not having address'd the paper to them
with their assum'd titles of True and Absolute
Proprietaries of the Province of Pennsylvania,
which I othitted - as not thinking it necessary in a
paper, the intention of which was only to reduce
to a certainty by writing, what in conversation I
had delivered viva voce.
"But during this delay, the Assembly having
prevailed with Governor Denny to pass an act
taxing the proprietary estate ,in sommon with
the estates of the people, Which was the grand
point in dispute, they, omitted answering the
message.
"When this act however came over, the pro
prietaries, counselled by Paris, determined to
Oppose its receiving the royal assent.
Accordingly they petitioned the king in
Connell, and a hearing was appointed
in which two lawyers were employed, by
them against the act, and two by me in support
of it. They alledg'd that the act was, intended
to load the proprietary estate in order tei spare`
those of the people, and that if it wore stiffeed
to continue in force, and the proprietaries who

pueport s of what I remember se, urged by both
sides, except that we instated 'Strongly on the

Den of the proprietors in soliciting such a gene
ral catastrophe, merely from a 'groundless fear of
their estate being taxed too, hishly, was insisted
on in the strongest terms. On this Lord Mans
field. one of the counsel rose, and beckoning me •
took me into the clerk's chamber, while the law
yers were pleading, and asked me if I. was really
of opinion that no, injury would be done the
proprietary estate in the execution of the act. I'
said certainly. "Then," says he, "sou can
have little objection to enter into an engagement
to assure that point." I answered, 'None at
all.' Ho then called in Paris, and after some
discourse, his lordship's proposition was accept
ed on both sides ; a paper to the purpose drawn
up by the Clerk of the Council, which I signed
with Mr. Charles, who was also an Agent of the
Province for their ordinary affairs, when Lord
Mansfield returned to the Council Chamber,
where finally the law was allowed to pass. Some
changed were however recommended and we also
engaged they should be •made by a subsequent
law, but the Assembly did not think them neees-
Eery; for one year's tax having been levied by the
act before the order of Council arrived, they ap
pointed a committee to examine, the proceedings
of the assessors, and on this committee they put
several particular friends of the proprietaries.
After a full enquiry, they unanimously signed a
rtport that they found the tax had been as
sessed with perfect equity. "
"The assembly looked into my entering into
the first part of, the engagement, as 'an essential
service to the Province, since it secured the credit
of the paper money then spread; over all the
country. They gave me their thanks in form
when I returned. But theproprietaries were en
raged at Governor Denny for flaying passed the
act, and turned him out with threats of suing him
for breach of instructions which ho had given
bond to observe. He, however, having done it
at, the instance of the General, and for Ells Ylaj
esty's service, and having sorne powerful interest
at court, despis'd the threats and they were
never put in execution."
These closing pages must have been written in
Franklin's eighty-fourth year, in the intervals of
those intense pains with which his latter days
were tortured. They betray in their penman
ship, and in tbeirlenmanship alone, the vacilla
tion of age and infirmity. In sense they are as
lucid as the brightest of their predecessors, and
the philosopher's dismissal of Paris' accusation of
want of candor, without a denial, is in his purest
vein of firm good sense.
Many an editor, tempted by theopportunity of
•
arriving with eclat before the public in an old
part, would gratify himself by keeping on the
stage as long as possible, the obvious means
being that of writing up the memoir to the time
of Dr. Franklin's death. Mr. Bigelow, with better
taste, keeps his task within the strict limits of a
study, and refers the seeker of information to a
recent Biography written, with an easy and
sparkling movement that Franklin himself would
have liked, by Mr. Parton.
"I am soliciting the advantage of you• criticism
upon a work of mine," writes Franklin, referring
to this autobiography, to Benjamin Vaughan, in
1789. "I think,with you, that if my memoirs are
to be published, an edition of them should be
printed in England for that country, as well as
here for this." Before the death of the philoso
pher these recollections, originally intended for the
fireside reading of his grandchildren,had assumed
in his mind that place before the public which
they have ever since kept with such applause:
but, in resigning his history to the world, the
clear-headed old sage declined to suppress any
thing, to alter anything. He opens out to friends
and enemies the few peccadilloes of his youth and
the few errors of his judgment. This sort of
frankness is a stranger to the Anglo-Saxon charac
ter, and was then unprecedented in English auto
biography. We may reasonably ask the question
whether Franklin, with all his courage, would I
have been likely to act just in this way , i without
some precedent, some influence emesulting from
a court of opinion whose judgments he respected.
Such a court of opinion, at the time of Frank
lin's much-relished stay in Paris, existed around
him; and such a precedent it was just then en
gaged in passing judgment upon, and in justify_
in: with all its sympathy. The "Confessions" of
Rousseau, it is true, were not published until
1781; but they were written in 1766-1770, and,
as is well known, were being put about by
their author in salon after salon with all
the zeal of an egotist burning for
stlf justification. And in the "confessions" we
fancy we have—notwithstanding the indignant
denial of Mr. Bigelow, who here exhibits the
beat of an apologist—what formed Franklin's
justification, if hot for the writing of certain
of his paragraphs, at least for the razes
tion of them after contemplating publication,
The pebble dropped by Rousseau spread 'its cir
cles far and wide. A taste for indecent frankness,
and for the education of youth by means of epi
grams, began to invade the old Bourbon state
liness. "Nature" was pedestaled as a new deity.
The influence, after saturating society, was soon
felt in literature, in France among such autobi
ographers as Mme. Roland, in England among
such flighty pedagogues as Thomas Day and
Richard Lovel Edgeworth, and even extended so
as to color the writings of a certain class of
American free-thinkers, such as Thomas Paine
and Benjamin Franklin.
Mr.. Bigelow's edition is a choice specimen of
typography, in every way worthy of the memory
of the great printer. The embellishment la a fine

GREAT SALE OF OLD DUTCH PICTURES.-WO
translate for the BULLETIN the particulars of the
late unprecedented sale of the gallery of old Prince
Demidoff, ex-husband of the Princess Mathllde.
The prices given are quite beyond example, and
will reassure those conservatiVes who feared that
modern art was pmhing the old masters from
their stools.
Twenty-three canvases only, but nearly all
famous, having a civil rank, known to all the
world who, in passing byFlorence, took care not
to forget San Donato.
The sale is an event, it is above all a specula
tion; the most diverse reports are spread about.
First, a picture dealer was to have purchased the
twenty-three pictures for five hundred thousand
francs; the baron James Rothschild had vainly
offered a million for all to the purchaser, who,
the very morning of the sale, had finally ceded
• his rights to several speculators.
Is it true or is it not true ? At any rate they
'will hate it •that more, diplomacy has been spent
on this affair than on the question of Schleswig.
The hour of the sale approaches; halls 8 and
9 of the hotel in the Rue Drouot have been uni

for.half-past two, and at half-past one 1 t is impos

At half-past two comes the tap of the hammer
and the sale opens with a Mirevelt, a portrait re
sembling Admital Coligny. M. Caney Saint-
Paul, as yet a stranger to the fascination of deep
bidding, concludes to allow himself the fancy,
and obtains • the Mirevelt for 2,230 f. A pretty
Berghern, The Old Oate, at i;(nea, exceeds forty

coolly pronounces "fifty thousand," and obtains
it; this Wouverniann is a pearl.
Paul Potter is announced, (t, Pastvre, and from
the first bids you can see there will be a tremen
dous struggle. - M. Mundler, M Nariskine, and
a third person hidden at the end of the lower
halls, and who reveals his presence by bids of ten

in the entire world. Set up at 100,000 francs, it

A Turburg, the Curiasity, having risen to sev
enty thousand, one of the criers calls out inno
cently and mechanically, and without full com
prehension, "How! gentlemen, we're not to stop
there?" and they close the bids at seventy-one
thousand.
The Cuyps of the San Donato gallery are mar
vels. The Avenue of Dordrecht rises easily to a
hundred thousand, amidst a 'pretty lively agita
tion. The sergent de ville who is on guard can
not comprehend it at all, and locks at the little
panel with an air of horror. M. Fillet is very
graceful with the hammer in his hand, he fasci
nates the buyers and augments the bids; he taps
at 140,000 f. (Subdued applause.) * *
Commencing at two, the sitting terminates at
four. after being conducted with the greatest
ability by M. Fillet.
In all it Is a total of 1,3 f 33,630 fr. for twenty-three
paintings.* The sale is considered as very suc
cessful, but you do not see here a sympath, tie
sale ; there were formidable bids, but not (meat
tack of enthusiasm; you perceived the job and
the speculation, and very little of art was to be
seen in it all.
They disperse tardily and with difficulty, ask
ing each other the names of the buyers. Some
of the purchasers,on breathing the purer air bf the
Rue Drouot. return to their less speculative feel
ings—and reflect.

Laid on the table.
Mr. fleawens, of Nevada, frorathe Committee on
Judiciary._ reported a bill to ;moire the political dis
abilities of certain citizene of Alabama.. He stated
that the committee recommends the relief to be ex
tee ded to someone hundred and six persons, being all

John W. Forney, as Secretary of the emirate, to take

Mr. beauties, of Mars, moved that it be laid on the
table.
Mr. CAWGRON, of Pa, .I object to that. I move that
the resignation be accepted.
Mr. busmen's moton was agreed to.
Mr. HENDRICKS, of Ind., offered the following reso
lution :
Reolved, That the resignation of the Secretary of
the Senate be accepted. and that until a successor be
elected, William J. McDonald discharge the duties of
the oeice,
Mr. Elmarsit objected to the consideration of the
resolution, and it went over.
Mr. TCUMBULL, from the Committee on the judi
ciary, reported the following resolution;
Restfived, That the commissioners appointed under
the act of June, 1e66, to provide for the revision and
consolidation of the statute laws of the United States,
be requested to report to the Senate what progress has
been made by them, and how mutt' time will be re
quired to complete the work. Adopted.
Mr. HAIIMT, of Minnesota, offered a resolution to
print the came number of copies of the letter of the
Secretary; inclosing the report of Joseph W Taylor
upon gold and silver mines and mining east of the
Becky Mountains. as are ordered of the report on
mining by .1. Boss Browne, and that they be bJunet
tome her. He moved to refer to the Committee 0.71
r,
Mr. t OritileS. of California, said there had been no
retolution before the berate authorizing the printing
of J. Roth; Brown's report, and that the report had
never been sent to this body by the Secretary of the
Treasury, who did not appear to regard this body as of
!sufficient importance to send it. He (Mr. Connees)
hoped they would get It at some time.
Mr. Ilmanucus asked what made it the duty of the
Secretary of the Treasury to present that report.
Mr. comires replied that the law provided that the
report should be made ander the direction of the Sec
retary of the Treasury. It could not be taken cognt
?ante of by the Senate until it was presented. The
senator from Indiana (Hendricks) need not be in haste
to defend the Treasury. When be (Conneea) wished
to attack him he would do it on in re salient points.
He hoped the resolution would be referred to the Com.
mittee on Mines and Muting.
Mr. Jewelers, of Maryland, believed that under the
law the Secretary of the Treasury was not °bilged to
send the report to Congress, and that he was not,
therefore, liable to censure for failure to send it. The
Senator trout California (Contuse) could offer a reso
lution asking for it
Xt. COMYESS agreed that the Secretary Wee not
obliged to furnish it, but would decline to offer the
resolution. He remembered that that gentleman de
nonneed this body ass body of "Constitution tinkat."
He hoped to get the report in some way or other.
Mr. Jou - mote then proposed to offer a suitable m
ob:aim, but •
Surax.r.zi objected, and the owlet:Wu was re
ferred to the Committee on Mines and Mining .
Mr. W 'mos, of Massachusetts introduced. a joint
resolution to restate Alabama, North Carolina, South
Carolina, traorgie„ Louisiana and Florida. to repro
,ntation in Congress. Referred to the Judiciary
Committee.:
Mr. ItAnsze introduced a bill to provide far the
change of a name or location of a bank, under tne
banking laws of the Uniteu States Referred to Ft
minder t ommittee.
Also. a bill to authorize the establishment of ocean
snail service by American eteanneMps. between the .
United States and the North and- South of Europe,
and between the United States and afediteranean ports
of Asia and Africa. Referred to the Committee on
Postoffices and Postroads.
Mr. &mamas, of Ohio, called np the House bill for
the lomisnon of Arkansas, and suggested the advisa
bility of taking immediate action upon it.
Mr. Terainnth, of Illinois. opposed any departure
from the ordinary practice, which required Its refer
ence to the Judiciary Committee.
Mr. JOLIN.Oti, of Marylend, took the same view, and
said it would look to the country, although he did not
believe such was the intenuort, as if the hasty admis
sloe of Arkansas was designed to influence the vote
on impeachment.
Mr. Dixon thought it possible it might be claimed
that the new Senators would have the right to vete,
and he contended that nothing should be done which
would admit the gees:ion to be raised.
Mr. Sweareas deemed it inconceivable that these
men would come here expecting to vote on Impeach
ment, and urged the immediate passage of the bill on
the ground that such action won a at once give moral
sanction to the authority of the State Legislature,
which was now inauttleraut to keep the peace and pre
vent lawlessness.

the Constitution of any State. ' •
The RPEAKEN—The Chair overrules the point of
order. He declines tq rule as the gentleman from
New York desires, because if that were his preroga
tive he might be called upon to rule thus me blest
which many Members regard as unconstitutional, and
which even the President vetoes as not being con,ati
tnticmal. The Beelike?' has no right in any legislative
body to nile whether a proposition is constitutional or,
not—only whether It is parliamentary. Its conetitu

be decided by the House, not by the Chair.
Mr. RANDALL, of Pennsylvania; asked Mr. Stevens
*here he got authority in , the Constitution or any
b ere. else to amend the Constitution of a State.
Mr. Statifisa--I find it in the Constitution, which
says Congress may admit States Into the United States.
I hold that Under that: , cougreee may admit them In'
just such shape as Congress pleases. I do not llnd
any difficulty about that, • ,
Mr. RANDALL—I would like ntleman to ' go on

but will leave all discurgion to the members who
are opposed to the hill. I intend, however, before
the House adjourns to-day, to move the previous
question, So the vote may be taken to morrow.
Mr. Uneexe, Of New York, gave notice that he
would offer the following amendment as an additional
section:
Be it further enacted, That on and after the passage
of this act all citizens of the United States in tee
States heretofore mimed ithall be admitted to equal
rightrof suffrage.
Mr. Been, of Kentucky, addressed the House for an
hour in opposition to the bill. He declared that the
amendment proposed by Mr. Stevens was jest , as ,
legitimate and just as much the action of the people
9t the States as the: constitution proposed for theca
Were. If the members of the gem:iliac= party did
not come np to the amendment jest offered by Mr.
Stevens, it would be the first time thersny proposition
preesed by the (Distinguished gentleman from-Penn

inciudin' the distinguished member from Ohio (Bing
ham), who would yet have to yield thine dictates of
this great leader.
Mr. BINGHAM remarked that that statement was
contradicted by the record in innumerable instances,
and that the gentleman ought not to make it.
Mr lircH repeated the assertion that the positions
taken by Mr. btevens had been followed by his party
in almost every instance, whether they had been
liked at first or not. The amendment now offered by the
gentleman from Pennsylvania would De another illus
tration of the rule. He referred to the reaolutions
of the Ohio Legislature, preeeuted last Monday by
Mr. Van Tramp, opposition to the reconstruction
measures of Congress; He also referred to the objec
tionable features of the constitutions- under which
the Southern States were to be admitted,' particularly
that provision of the South Carolina Constitution
which makes it compulsory on all children, white and
colored, to be sent to the same schools.
Mr. Many, of Lalifornia, asked Mr. Beck what he
would do with the ne , n,., oes.
Mr. Brest readied Ohs he would protect them as
bredmett agile would protect any person who had not
capacity to exercise political rights and privileges.
For a great many reasons he held that the negro was
unfit to hold political rig,hta, and it was an outrage
against the civilization of the are to place the ne
groes of the South in a position to control the white
race. It was an outrage which he believed the people
of the country would erelong wipe one Ile declared
that the colored people of Kentucky were now better
protected and better cared forthan they were in any of
the States that are antler the reconstruction act. The
object of the pending bill was to control the voters of
the Northern States in the approaching Presidential
election.
Mr. PATINSWoRTII, of Illinois, naked Mr. Beck
whether If the black men would vote the Democratic
ticket his objection to them participating in the gov
ernment would not be somorhat. modified.
Mr. Brett—Not in the slightest.
Mr. GAILFIRLD, referring to the allusion made by
Mr. Beck to the rescilationa of the Ohio Legislate,
said that great deference ought to paid to the opin
ions of State Legislatures,- provided those
Legrsla
turfswere by their conduct and opinions entailed to
respect, and that he world refer to some acts of tne
Ohio Legislature to show whether chat body was en
titled to the confidence or contempt of the douse. In
that connection he refered to the act pretendin; to
withdraw the consent of the State of Ohio to the
fourteenth article of the amendments of the Consti
tution; to the ace remodelling the police lams of tee
leaning Republican cities of the State, so as to give
them a Democratic police. To the act, known as tae
visible admixture law, which provides that any man
having a visible admixtare of African blood in his
veins shall not be Remitted to vote, and which
üb j ects every voter to be inquired of as
to who was his father. and who WAS his mother;
whether they were married and lived together, &c.
To the act forbidding any student in the colleges of
Ohio (if not a resident of the place) to vote. and to
the act forbidding the inmates of the Soldiers' Home,

Mr. Garfield allowed interruptions from his col
lc-a gut s, Messrs. Morgan and Van Trump, in reference
to local measures and politics, and replied to them.
Mr. RonnesoN addressed the House for one hoar in
opposition to the bill, and declared his
belief that all those unconstitutional measures
all these mere partisan measures, all these efforts to
austair a parts which had been ciltdemned and repudi
ated by the people,wonld !attend fail forever, and that
the impeachment resolutions would be expunged by

Hootteopettnic state Medical. Society.
ilannisuunc e May 13th, 1868s--The annual
Netting of our various medical conventions
furnish convenient and effective mediums
for the dissemination of the truths of medical sci
ence and of acquiring scientific information of the
highest value to its possessor. Much of the pro
gress which has been made by our medical breth
ren may properly be attributed to the influence of
these yearly gatherings. Here areproduced for the
first time in a tangible form the long-considered
theories of the experienced practitioner and the
no less valuable observations and experiments of
the more practical student of medicine. It is to
be regretted that much of this valuable informa
tion, particularly that which is brought out by
warm and earnest discussion, is invariably lost
to the profession at large, the only matters of
record being the written reports and papers
which have been previously prepared, and which
alone are preserved.
During the present session of the Hommo
patine State Medical Society, the discussions upon
the various subjects under consideration have re
sulted in much apparent interest and benefit. In
accordance with the order of business, the vari
ous committees appointed for the purpose sub
mitted papers upon the different subjects assigned
for their consideration, and these were discussed
at length, and many new facts and valuable sug
gestions brought to the attention of the members
present.
Dr. A. Lippe, from the Committee on the sub
ject of Provings; read a lengthy and exhaustive
report. By "proving," we understand to be the
process of noting tne effect produced upon one's
self, when in a state of health, by taking certain
drugs, with a view to appl% ins; those drugs when
thr same symptom- were observed in disease.
Dr. W. James Blakely remarked that "pro
rings" formed the comer-stone of homumpathy,
being that without which homempathy could
not exist. Individual efforts were valueless to a
certain extent, because it was difficult to get a
sufficiently large number of persons to assist in
"provings." He argued that there should be
organized action in the mutter, and suggested
the Jonnation of a regular organization,
With - officers, who should give certain
drugs to . the members who were inclined to
assist in "proving." Thus, by a large number of
persons proving a drug at the same time, its
effects could be ascertained; whereas, where only
five or six persons proved a drug, its effects were
not ascertained. The speaker had " proved " a
number of drugs, and one of these—the arsenite
of copper—he presented to the society. This
drug had, been proved ", by himself, and by
others under his direction.
On motion, the thanks of the Society were ten
dered to Dr. Blakely for the specimen of his prov
ings.
Dr. Walter Williamson, of Philadelphia, sub
mitted a preamble and resolution relative to a re
vision of the nomenclature of the homwspathic
materia medics. The preamble set forth the de
fective character of the nomenclature of the ma
feria medica of the homeopathic school of medi
cine, the necessity for sameness in the agents em
ployed for proving and in the treatment of dis
ease, and the importance of designating the part
of the plant used if the drug be derived from the
vi getable kingdom. The resolution, therefore,
re q uested the American Institute of Homeopathy
to appoint a committee of five for the purpose
at Vie stated, and also to recommend a system of
pharmacy.
The above subject was discussed at length and
the resolution was adopted.
A number of reports from persons in charge of
hospitals and infirmaries , , and upon the subject of
improvements in obstetrics, were also made and
discussed.
Dr. 31. Cote submitted a report on the subject
of dietetics, which was read and discussed at
length.
On the subject of epidemics and endemics Dr.
W. Williamson, of Philadelphia, read a report
stating that the subjects referred to this commit
tee were too extensive and important for con
sideration at length in their report. They there
fore limited themselves to 'he expression of some
observations, suggestive rather than didactic, on
a few points 01 interest. The report states
that a disease rarely occurred epidemically
in any place where it was not endemic
or had its sporadic effect. There were
various diseases which might occur sporadically
everywhere, among which scarlet fever and
measles were striking examples, and these might
also appear epidemically everywhere. The former
might be said to prevail sometimes as an epidemic
in the summer and autumn . , whilst the epidemic
of measles occurred in tne winter and spring.
After one or two further general observations the
report closed, and the discussion upon the sub
ject was proceedea wish.
The following were duly elected to honorary
membership in the Society: H. M. Paine, SI. D.,
Albany,N. Y.; J. T. Talbot, DI. D. Boston, Mass.;

Drs. J. H. Marsden, of York Sulphur Springs,
Richard Cook, of Philadelphia, and 0. B. Gause,
of Philadelphia, were constituted the board of
censors for the ensuing year.
Dr. 31. Friese read an able report.on the subject
of homeopathy and clinical medicine, in which
he repdrted the case of a lady afflicted with para
lysis, the' main symptoms being an absence of
power over the muscles of locornotion, and an
affection of the nerves of sensation. Her cure
bad not been effected, and the Doctor asked for
advice on the case.
Dr. W. James Blakely narrated' the cast of a
boy who bad been similarly affected, his lower
limbs being completely paralyzed, and his
growth fretarded. A. cure was effected by ad
ministering to the patient a medicine known , as
bryonis, after whic.h his system developed rega
l' e report on hygiene, an interesting and in
structive paper, was submitted by Dr. Blakely.
The author Introduced his remarks by a refer
mice to the corudderation and .attention given ,t 0
hygienic laws in ancient times. The GreekS en
forced the most stringent laws SW the purpose of
compelling obedience to established hygienic
principles. The code of. Lyeargais„ . thouernel

misery:which invariably follows the decline of

The author then divided his subject into the
foll Owing points- Food and drink to health and
disease, management of infants, disinfeetton,ch
umeteric influences, and physical culture. The,
different phases of 'the subject as represented by
these heads were then dwelt upon by the speaker
at, length. The usual discussion upon the subject
followed.

J
thanks of the society were tendered to Prof. J. 11.
P. Frost, of Philadelphia, for his able address be
