We wonder who will laugh. We love the Diedrich Knickerbocker fla - vor so well that we wish to drain it even to the Ices. We could not bear to have the “Salmagundi” spared from any edition of Ir ving* though it is not ail in his writing, and though bis own contributions to it are by no means his best fun. It is now printed on the creamy and limpid-looking pages of Put nam’s dainty Knickerbocker edition, and the lover of literary junketings may save it for some soft sprisg day, when it will spread well under a golden willow tree, and yield an hour's sipping at the humor our fathers loved. The contributions of Paulding are more rol licking, more assured and irresistible, we think, than there of either of the Irvings; but it took the merry heartß of all three to spice the Salmagundi.—'the edition, certainly, is a beautiful one; but the naif jollity of the old grotesques in the first issues is ill exchanged for these mediocre drawings by Nast and Hoppin; the bookworm will none of them.— Agent, J. K. Simon, 29 South Sixth street An EOKlUbnan Upon KellaYon and GleiKf in tbe united blares. The clergy are allowed much freedom of expxesßioe in America. A gentleman residing in New Terk, while conversing with me on this subject, made the following statement oi what he supposed was the general practice: “The way in which we deal with our clergy heie is lo pay them well, and to encourage them to say exactly what they think. What we pay them for Is not other people’s ideas and opinion E—that we can find in books — but their own. We expect them to devote a reasonable portion of their time and all the mental power they possess to theological | study, and then give us the reßulL” This broad construction of the duties of a 1 clergyman, as a religious teacher, c jin-' j cides very much with what I was \ frequently told, that the broad way of thinking was, becoming the common way of thinking in almost ail the American churches. , Mr. Henry Ward Beecher,although a Presby terian, is very broad, and never has a seat empty in his church. Sunday after Suuday, three thousand people assemble to hear him preach. In American society religious ques tions are lnqueuily discussed. . No one feels any disposition to avoid them because expres-. eion of opinion is peri-cdy free. Au Ameri can ladwonee said to me across the table,an! was heard by every one present, that every “thinking American was of opinion that re ligion, if not in conlormity with the knowl edge and sentiments ol me limes, was a dead tbing.” In New Votk this exprussimof opinion appeared uertectly natural; but 1 suppose that if an Eoghsk lady entertained ideas of this kind, she would not think it allowable for her to enunciate them in com pany. Americans are very careful not to give offence in what they say to others. An Ame rican bishop remarked to me that the only exception to this rule was to be Ipund among ministers of religioo, and among them only in their prayers. Jle mentioned, as an instance, something occurred at a public meet ing at which hebad himself been present. A minister had opened the proceedings with prayer. He was iollowed by a rival preacher. The latter, s after dwelling some time on general topics, at last came up to bis oppo /Dentin tbe following way; He prayed that ' the gifts of the Spirit might be poured out on all his brethren in tbe ministry abuudantly, and then added, “and on behalf of our brother whoße words we have just heard, we offer thiß special supplication, that bis heart may become as soft as bis head.” —Zinc ken Hook on America.

And here is the explanation from corre spondent No. 3: ' , , • i “The most trustworthy explanation or the singing mouse phenomenon is that the sup posed gifted little musician is in reality the victim to a disease caused,by the presence of a Worm, probably cyatioercus faaololaria, inhabiting its liver.

Two officers of the English Engineer J3orps, with a staff of assistants, are engaged in making a scientific survey of Sinai. The following extracts, from recent letters writ ten by those officers, will give an idea of their work: . . . “We have seen several of the Sinaitic in scriptions, and find the copies that have been brought to England are not always accurate. I am glad to be able to tell you that Mr. Pal mer, from what he has already seen, has every reaßon to believe that he will be able in time to read most if not all of them.. _ Mr. Palmer baß collected a number of curious Bedouin traditions connected with the penin sula and the children of Israel, many of which have not been noted before. He is now en gaged in examining the library and making | a catalogue of the books, some of which are j curious and may be worth photographing I hereafter. ’ I “On our way up we visited some of toe old mineß and the Egyptian remains at Surabit el Khadim,-at the (alter place there is a good field for excavation,*and when the survey is fairly -started we hope to make an expedition there for a few days to examine the mines, exca vate, make plans of the bnildiDgs, and copy the inscriptions. There are many old cairns, containing bodies, which we hope to open. I The church at the convent is very peculiar in j maDy respects, and will require a caretul I examination; plans, sections, &c., will be 1 made, and impressions taken of some fine old I wooden doors. ; “A number of specimens have been col i leetcd and labelled, and the character of the country passed through has been noted. At one point we found the ripple marks on the sandstone very well defined. All the later rocks have been formed since the protrusion of the granite, and the Sinai mountains may therefore claim to be among the oldest in the the world. * + * “We visited the Temple of Surabit el Khadim, but had only just time to take a cursory view of it, and to find out that* there-isiadme interesting” work to do there in the way of photographing and copying the tablets, &c. Soon after passing Surabit el Khadim we got in the district of granite, greenstone, &c.—another pleasing change in the scenery, and, better still, a country of good water, the water we had had since leaving Suez having been not only villain ously bad by nature, bat made inflaitely nastier by being carried in new goatskins.’’ NASBir* Mr. BTasby Finds a Row Business which Promises Ample Profits —Ue Devotes Himself to it with all the Jbnrncslness of Bis Enthusiastic Nature.

Over fifteen (160dj hundred miles been i built by two (3) powerful com* panies; Ibo Union Pacific Railroad, beginning at Omaha, bnilding west, and the Central Pacific Railroad* begin* ning'at Bacmneato, and bonding east* until the two roads shall meet. Leas than two hundred and fifty miles remain to be built, The greater, part of the interval is now graded* and it is reasonably expected that tbo through connection between San Frahdsco and Now York will be completed by Joiy 1. lAs tbe amount of Government aid given to each is de. pendent upon thoilengtb of-road each shall build, both companies are prompted to-great efforts to secure the construction and control of what, when eomploted* will he one and the only araiid Railroad lArie comuctVvothe Atlantic and Pacific coasts* One Hundred and Ten Million Dollars ($110,000,000) in money have already been expended by the two powerful companies engaged in this great enterprise, and they will speedily complete tbe portion jet to be built. When tho United States Government found it necessary to secure tbe the Pacific Railroad, to develop and protect its own intereet.it gave the companies authorised to build it such ample aid as should render Its speedy completion beyond a doubt The Government aid may be briefly summed up as follows: First— I Tho right of way and all necessary timber and stone from public domain. Second—lt makes a donation of 12.800 acres of land to the mile, which, when the road is completed, will amount to t * enty-three million (23 000,000) acres, and all of It within twenty (20) miles of tho railroad. 2 bird—lt loans tho companies fifty million doliar 0 ($50,000,000), for which it takoa a second lien. The Government has .already loaned the Union Pacific Railroad twenty four million and fifty-eight thousand dollar* ($24,058,000). and to the Central Pacific Ksilroal seventeen million six hundred and forty-eight thousand dollars ($17,648.000), amounting In ail to forty-one million seven hundred and eix thousand dolUru ($41,706,000). The Companies are permitted to issue their own First Mortgago Bonds to the same amount as they receive from the United States, and no more. *ihe companies have sold to permanent investors about ($4O 000.000) forty mlt* lien dollars of their First Mortgage Bonds. Tho com. panics have already paid in (Including not earnings not divided, grants from State of California, and Sacr&tnento city and ban Francisco;, upwards of (s!£!>,tfx»»Uoo) twenty, five million dollars of capital stock. WHAT IB THEBE VET TO I! E DON E ? In considering this question It must be remembered that all tho remaining iron to finish the road is contracted far, and the largest portion paid for and now delivered on the line of the Union Pacific Railroad and the Central Pacific Railroad, and that the grading is almost finished. WHAT RESOURCES HAVE THE COMPANIES TO FINISH THE ROAD f First—They will receive from the Government as the road progresses about $3,000,000 additional Second—They can issue their own First Mortgage Bonds for about $9,000,000 additional. Third—The companies now hold almost all the land they have up to this time received from the Government; upon the completion of the road they will have received in all 23,000,000 acres, which at $1 60 per acre would be worth $34,600 000. In addition to the above the net earnings of the roads end additional capital, if necessary, could be called In to the road. WAV BUSINESS-ACTUAL EARNINGS. No one has ever expressed a doubt (hat as soon as the road 1b completed its through business will bo abundantly profitable.

Mr. Jsnes (Ky.) presented tbe memorial of ’merchants of Lotfisvllie. and dealers In the Sixth District of Kentucky, for certain changes and amendments in the internal revenue law. Some reference. " -Mr.Schenck (Ohio), from tbe Committee of 'Ways and Means, reported a bill providing that ■every deputy collector or assistant assessor of Internal Revenue, who baa performed tbe dalles of collector or assessor on account of the sus pension or illness of such collector or assessor, ■ball receive tbe compensation of collector or assessor, except in esses where tbe collector or assessor bos already received compensation for the some period. Mr. Schenck, after a brief explanation of the hill, went on to state bow Congress is systemati cally slandered by claim agents and prowlers around the capital, and in that connection read a circular addressed by a Washington claim agent to persons who wonki be benefited by a pension bill, stating that tbe writer and influential parties would undertake to obtain tbe passage of each a bill on an allowanoc being maac to them -of SO per cent on tbe amonnt recovered. He eaid no would not mention the name of the writer. The committee bad bad him before It, and be bad admitted his wrong and volunteered to write to every one to wham be had addressed the circular, confessing his wrong. The committee bad round that this person was in other respects a good citizen; that be bad .deserved much from the Government, and had received a medal of honor for bis services daring tbe war. Hie Committee bad -herefore concluded to anppreen tbe name, but he would remark that that it was an-old came. It was not unfreqaently the case that tbe claim agents, attorneys, lobby ists and prowlers around Congress found out wbat was likely to be done by a committee or by Congress, and then speculated •un it under the pretence that It was through their influence that it was done. That was the case in this instance, a call having been made by the -committee for tbe names of persons who were entitled to this compensation. He knew an in stance in a former Cobgrcss in which a man levied on a claimant tbe large sum of $lO,OOO, and actually received it for influencing a member -of the committee to obtain a favorable report, when that member never knew nor beard of the rascal. Ho did not assume that members oi Congress were any better than the rest of the world, and he would not be expected to confess -that they were any worse than the same number of respectable gentlemen anywhere. But there was a systematic fashionable abase all -through tho country stimulated,by letter-writers, occasion being given to It by prowling agents, wbo bring Congress into discredit. He thought it his , duty to ventilate this cose, and to warn ail deputy collectors and assistant asses sors who might be entitled to receive - anything under this bill, that they were not In . debted one cent to any claim agent or lobbyist, bat that Congress gave to them what was justly their dne, and that they should give a kick rather than pence to any lobbyist who should come to -them for compensation. The bill was then passed. On motion of Mr. Bontweil, the morning hour ■was dispensed with tor this day, and the consti tutional amendment came up for action. The question was taken on Mr. Burris motion to lav it on the table, and thatjmotlon was re jected. Yeas, 41; nays, 131. The Re publicans voting aye being Coburn, Hawkins, Jenekes and Wilson, of Ohio. Mr.Shellabarger modified the amendment which hie offered yesterday, back to its original form, as ■follows; No State shall make or enforco any law which , shall deny or abridge to any male citizen of the United States, of the age of twenty-one years or -over, and who is of sonnd mind, an equal vote at all elections in which he shall have each actual residence as shall be prescribed by law, cxcopt to -such as have engaged, or may hereafter engage, in insurrection or rebellion against tbo United ■States, and to snch as shall be duly convicted of treason, felony, or other Infamous crime. Mr. Bingham modified his amendment eo as to read, “No State shall make or enforce any law which shall deny or abridge to any male citizen of the United States, of. sonnd mind, twenty-one years of age or upwards, the exercise of the elective franchise at all elections in tttq State wherein he shall' have actually resided for a pe riod of one year preceding such election, subject -to such : registration, regulation, law and laws prescribing local residence as the State may en . ... act, except such of said citizens aa shall engage m rebellion or lnsnrrection, or who may have been, or shall be, duly convicted of treason or other infamous crime.’* Hr. Bontweil moved the previous question. Mr. Eldridge asked Mr. Boutwell to withdraw ■ )U tbe'previous question in order that he might ap peal to the gentleman from Ohio (Shell ahargor) to modify his amendment. Every sentiment and feeling of his (Eldridge's) nature was against -<x post facto laws and against tho conviction of rbtoemendmenieo&stoniikelt atfpljr to'fatara oflVncea:- Cries or qaeslUm. 1 After some remark* by Messrs. Scbeock and Bingham In reference to tbe amendments o( frrcd; , r . > Mh Bontweil said: We ate aafo If we a toad oa (be resolution as reported by tbe Committee, and la my Judgment, we are unsafe if we accept tm amendment which wo ourselves aro unable to un derstand,eo as to agree in opinion.' He insisted ou the previous question. The previous question was seconded. Tbe question was first taken on Mr. Shelia berger’s amendment, and it was rejected—yeas G2,_nays 12G. . ri <r ~ • Tbe'qncailon was then taken on Mr. Bingham's amendment, and it was rejected—yeas 26, nays 168. The Democrat* oil voted for the amendment in (he first instance, bnt subsequently many of them changed their votes to the negative. The question recurring on the original propo sition, Mr. Brooks asked Mr. BontwoU whether be would not consent to have a vote taken on his (Mr. Brpoks) amendment to give the fran chise to women, and to children over 12 years of age. ' ■ ’ ■ ■ Mr. Bonttvell replied that he did not think that Mr. Brooks was serious in that inquiry. The yeas and nays were then taken on or dering the joint resolution to be engrossed and read the thlrd.timo and it was so ordered. YoaS, 144: nave, 40. - The Bouse (hen proceeded' to vote on thb joint reaolntion, aa follows: Be it retained, etc., Two-thirds of both houses concurring, that the folio wing article be proposed to the Legislatures of the several States, as an amendment to tho Constitution of the United States, which, when ratified by three fourths of said Legislatures,shall: be held as port of : said Constitution, namelv Aimci.s —, Section 1.

Protectorate over tbe West ladles* [BpSdnJ Despatch to the Phlla. Evening Bulletin.] Washington, Jan. 30 Two weeks ago the Honse by a decisive majority ref need to pass the bill to extend a protectorate over the islands oi Hayti and San Domingo, and it was supposed this would effectually end any farther attempts lo have our Government placed In a position whereby they would hare a voice in restoring peace and tranquillity to that island. Another very important move la being made npoD the diplomatic chess-board which may prove highly beneficial to os. Without -asserting -positively that the government authorities of Hayti and San Domingo have made direct propo sals to onr State Deportment to have their Islands annexed to the United States with out any cost to the latter, it can- be said, however, that certain overtures have been made, which if successfully carried oat, will result in this being done. These were deemed of so much importance that a special meeting of the Committee on Foreign Affairs was called for and held this morning, when the matter was fnlly discussed. In the view of encouraging any formal proposition which might come from this republic to annex their Island to the united States, it was decided to report a resolution on Monday to Congress, declaring in substance that this Government would cheerfully accept and ratify any negotia tions coming from the proper civil authorities and people of Hayti ana SL Domingo, having In view tbe intention to become for all time part of the territory of the United States.

In Chestnut street near Tenth, a most murderous article, evidently placed npon the rails for the purpose of causing an explosion and In juring the passengers In any car that chanced to pass over It. The torpedo Is shaped like a fire-cracker. It is made of paper, and is two inches .in length, and about one inch In thickness. At the end there is a brass ferule, through which a bit of wire protrudes, acting as a trigger to convey the force of the blow to the fulminating powder upon the inside. The torpedo was filled with heavy shot, and if an explosion had occurred in the crowded street, some one would surely hsve been killed of wounded. The perpetrator of this infamous outrage is unknown, bnt it behooves the Chief of Police to hunt him up, for if this sort of thing is carried on to any extent, it will be unsafe to walk In the streets or ride in the horse cars.
