WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 1864.
The President and Abolitionism.
An inconsiderable body of men are op
posed to the re-election of Mr. Lincoln, af
firming that he does not thoroughly repre
. sent the anti-slavery purpose of the people.
If Mr. Lincoln is not the best Abolitionist
‘ living, he is the most powerful, and has
practically done more for the freedom of the
slave than all other men combined. His
was the Emancipation Proclamation, an'd
his the oath of allegiance, which no rebel
•can take without ceasing to be a slaveholder.
Under his Administration whole States have
been delivered from slavery, and he is the
; first President-of the. United States elected
in hostility to slavery, and in defiance of its
threats. If these facts do not prove his suf
ficient fidelity to the principles of equal
rights, what facts can be produced to show
greater fidelity on the part of other states
men ? The same men who tell us that his
efforts to establish universal freedom are
inadequate confess in the same breath that
slavery is dead ; their abstract admissions
counteract their personal censures.
Did these gentlemen expect that in three
years every slave in America would have
been practically' as well as theoretically
freed, and comfortably established in a nice
little farm of his own, with a few hundred
dollars invested in the five-twenty loan?
Did they think the millenium was to come
before, the war ended? Did they suppose
the Emancipation proclamation would re
' volutionize society in a year ? It would
•seem so by their dissatisfaction. But to the
majority of the people it justly appears that
- the anti-slavery progress of the nation has
been all that the most hopeful could have
‘believed, the most enthusiastic desired. It
has kindled the North, frightened the South,
■and startled the world. Those who are not
-satisfied with this progress, could not be sa
tisfied with any'achievement.
If Mr. Lincoln is not a good enough
Abolitionist for this all-demanding and
critical class, he is, at least, generally satis
factory to the original Abolitionists of New
■England—the men who were against slavery
■when the nation -was with it; who suffered
for freedom when it was unpopular ; who
prophecied to an unbelieving world of that
which is now revealed ; who began the
anti-slavery movement thirty years ago, and
for thirty yerrs maintained it, controlled it,
and educated the nation up to the imperfect
morality of 1860, and fitted it for the purer
faith which inspires it; in 1861. William
Lloyd Gabbtson, the true leader of Abo
litionism, sustains Abraham .Lincoln for
-the Presidency ; and who, unless it beVax
dell Phillips, can question the rightful
mess of Mr. Garrison’s decision? We re
cently published an extract from a private
, letter of Mr. Garrison, and we now find in
the Liberator his opinion of Mr. Lincoln,
and his reasons for supportingTiim for the
Presidency, more elaborately and conclu
■ sively set forth. In the following quota
’ tions the italics and capitals are those of the
J Liberator:
The National Republican Convention for the no
jnination of a Presidential candidate is to be held in
Baltimore early in .Jhne. Previous to that time, it
ts right and proper that the merits of the various
ifavoritei should be fully considered and temperately
difioußßed; but, whoever shall receive the nomina
tion at Baltimore, upon him the whole strength of
the Republican parts »hould be concentrated—for
cot an ounce of tnat strength can be safely spared in
rivalry or division. It is eb palpable as “the sun
shining in his strength,” that it is the aim of the
Copperheads to act upon the maxim, "divide
and conquerand, therefore, they will leave
nothing undine to sow dissensions in the Re
publican ranks, and induce &s many rival can
didates to be sec up as possible—even on the plausi
ble ground of having a more radical anti-slavery policy
carried.out —for, bring "full of all deceivabieness
of umighteoußDceß,” they will assume any shape
and resort to any trick. In thus macceuvriDg,they
will have the’sympathy ami concurrence of the
Southern .traitors, whose final hope of sucoesa in
carrying their point lies in the triumph of the Oop»
■perbeaa party. What enactments of law, what
'-scenes of violence;- what revolting compromises,
what national humiliation anil degradation would
fallow that triumph, imagination may in vain at
tempt to depict. But it can take place only by the
fatuity of Republicans in Allowing themselves to
have rival candidates in the field, with all the dis
position to disparage and assail those candidates
which such a contest .would endanger; and if thi*
shall occur, then the terrible unity which prevails
in Ibe Copperhead ranks will almost certainly ena
ble them no seize the reins of Government for the
■ jjcxt four year*. Therefore, there must be but
, 'ONE CANDIDATE.
The truth of this cannot be denied. Two
=anti-slavery candidates would add im
mensely to the power of the pro-slavery
party. Two Union candidates must give
.strength to the rebellion. '
Mr. Gahrison clearly sees that the trans
■cendant popularity of Mr. Lincoln is a
reason why he should be the one candidate
of the people. He refers to the fact that
“ even the Legislature of Ohio, with all the
-well-deserved popularity which Salmon P.
Chase has won in that State and through
out the North, has with great unanimity
recorded its vote in favor of the re-election
of Mr. Lincoln and in reference to Gen
■eral Fremont, while admitting that he
has many warm admirers, criticises with
impartiality the course of those poli
ticians who attempt to force him into
opposition to the people. In regard to the
■German mass meeting at St. Louis, which
adopted a call for a general convention on
the 10th of May, the Liberator says : “We
do not exactly like this exclusively German
action, aside from considerations of its im
policy in the present critical exigency ; it is
mot sufficiently American —though we have
no doubt of the earnest purpose of our Ger
man brethren to crush slavery and the rebel
lion by the shortest possible method. • But
personal preference must give way to the
one overwhelming duty of Beeping the Go
vernment beyond the possible attainment
■and control ot its deadly foes. As opposed
-to Mr. Lincoln, Gen. Fremont could have
no rational hope of success; nor do we be
lieve, if but one. Republican candidate take
the field, there is any man living in America
who would poll so many votes, or who has
•so strong a hol& upon the mass of thopeo
ple, as Abraham Lincoln. ”
In conclusion, it may be well to state that
Mr. Garrison is not a man who can be
-classed with Ihe unconditional upholders of
the but has been its firm op
ponent on more than one question, and still
■opposes it. Yet, with all this honest differ
ence, he fully and.fairly admits the grandeur
of its policy, and approves the action and
character of the President.
We think the following paragraph should
■silence at once the'false statement that
Abraham Lincoln iB a man capable in any
way of retracting the word he has given to
the world, or unworthy of the full support
of the most bitter hater of the slave curse:
Not that Mr. Lincoln li not open to oritlcicm and
-cenaure; we have bolt 'critloiaea and oentured him
again and again. Not that there ia not much to
-grieve over, and to be inrpriied at, in his Admini*
•tration, on account of its inconsistent and para
doxical treatment of the rebellion and slavery; of
this we have spoken freely. Nevertheless, there is
also much to tejoice over and to be thankful for;
and a thousand incidental errors and blunders are
easily to be borne with on the part of him who, at
one blow, severed the chains of three millions three
.hundred thousand slaves—thus virtually abolishing'
-the whole slave system (the greater neoessarlly in
-eluding the lesi)‘in quick progression, as an act dic
tated alike by patriotism, justice, and humanity.
Beaidea, we should learn something from the enemy.
“Any change, 11 says the Riohmond Examiner, refer-
Ting to the approaching Presidential struggle—* l( any
change will be better lor us.” The Copperheads are
of the same mind. It it wise to attempt to gratify
.either of these psrUpel
ThE New York papers yesterday con
tained reports of a mass meeting held on
behalf of woi.hing women. At this meet
ing it transpired that IGJ cents were given
for the making.of fouY.pair of drawers per
day, from 7A. M. to 9P. nl-; that 7 cents
.-apiece were given for the makin£ °f coarse
■flannel army shirts of large size, two, or
three, being the greatest number.
..that could possibly be made in twelve hours;
■'that 16 cents apiece were given for the mak
ing of fine white shirts, two being the ut
most that could be made in a day’s work of
more thah twelve hours; and that the thread,
in all these cases, is to be provided by the
- working women. Some of these poor women
-were represented as old and afflicted. If
these reports be perfectly fair, how horrid a
■-picture do they present of social avarice
-in the city of New York. And though New
TTork be the exponent of the highest
power of that avarice, yet the same spirit
is manifested elsewhere. Whether it be
manifested in Paris, or London, or New
Work, or Philadelphia, or anywhere else, it
is a vile and murderous thing that weak
women Bhould go through the daily-recur
ring agonies of a living death in order to
tglut the avarice of these worse than
Egyptian task-masters. It is said that the
yule requiring a workwoman to furnish her
own thread has only been adopted by em
ployers since the price; of a spool of cotton
has risen from four to eight or ten cents.
But New York plumes herself upon what
she styles her present unparalleled pros
perity, and the feature which yesterday’s
papers present furnish a dark and striking
contrast to that boast. It is a state of affairs
which should draw down the utmost abhor
rence and contempt upon the heads of the
heartless employers who starve poor women
whilst their own eyes stand out with
fatness.

MOVEMENTS' OF THE REBELS.
SPEECH OF GOVERNOR VANCE.
Nbwbbbn (N. O.), March 19.—The recent raid on
Richmond caused the rebel General Pickett to send
several regiments to Virginia, just as he was ready
to commence operations in this direction. These
regiments are now returning, evidently to carry out
kiß original intentions.
Governor Vance, in a recent speech, stated that
General Lee depends upon North Oarolina for the
support of his army. He dwells upon tne impor
tance of keeping the railroads of this State in good
condition, on the ground that General Lee could
not nmain in Virginia forty-eight houis after they
fail.
The Wilmington Journal says that the Btatistlos of
blockade-running for the past year show that on the
average only one out of twenty have been captured.
The report of Governor Vanoe showing the
amount of rebel supplies received through this
blockaded port, discloses a most startling state of
things. Everything the enemy could ask for is re
ceived through this channel in great quantities.
An experienced naval officer, has remarked that
owing to the peculiar situation of the coast, its nu
merous channels embracing an area of thirty miles,
the entire navy of the United States could not make
the blockade of Wilmingtoneffective.'

Tfic Enlistment Bill*
The bill to promote enlistments being cabled up in
order the question being on the substitute of Mr. Wilson
to free tbe wife and children of recruits.
Mr. BILLET, of W est Virginia, said he was very de
sirous to vote fer tke amendment of Mr. Wilson giving
fn edom to the wife and children of colored recruits; but
in the indefinite form in which it was brought before
the Senate. he was constrained to cast his vote for Us re*
commilmeot to the Judiciary Committee. His objection
to the amendment of Mr. Wilson was that It would lead
to endlt ss and distressing difficulties in the States where
those slaves reside. He denied, that the marriage re
lation smonget slaves was recognized in Virginia, and
he believed the seme was tbe case in Maryland. Under
the amendment. in its present crude ’stare, conflict#
would arise with the State courts, and much confasion
ensue. It was for this reason that he desired that some
means he dtvisid to establLh the identity of the persons
freed by tte bill that he voted for its recommitment.
Another reason was that the Constitution contained a
clause which forbids the taking of private property
for public u»es without jost compensation. He con
sidered that tbe bill Itself was founded upon the fun
damental precept that there was property In slaves.
He would like to iee the constitutional provision for
•ompensation incorporated in the bill, though he would,
not rest content while the wives and children of these
men fighting our country's battles were held in
bondages
Mr. WILLEY ihen spoke in opposition to the bill of
Mr. Somter to repeal the fugitive slave act He said it
seemed singular that after the repeated decisions of the
supreme tribunals «f the land during three quarters of a
century, it was now argued that this clause of the Con
stitution did not and was not intended to apply to the
rendition of fugitives
li the Hon. i enator from Massachusetts had introduced
a bill to supply the place of law. he woald
have voted for it. but under the oath he had taken it
was his solemn duty to see that the plain provisions of
the Constitution were carried out.
• Hr. Willey at great length defended his course on the
slavery question, quoting from Patrick Henry, Chief
Justice Marshall. Jefferson. Madison, and others, to
show the gradual progress of snti-slavery ideas iuhie
State. Whatever, he said, may be our own theoretical
notions on this subject, the Constitution must be pre
served. Slavery was an evil, but a broken, demoralised
Constitution was a far greater one.
In his cpinion, the most effectual way of accomplishing
the downfall of slavery was by a vigorous prosecution of
the war. In Baying this, he did not mean to say that
emancipation was the motive of the . war. He was cer
tain the administration were not conducting it upon that
idea. We should defend and maintain the integrity and
dignity of. the Constitution, and preserve tbe union and
equality of the Mates while we fight lti enemies, and if,
in this righteous struggle, slavery should go under, all
good men will rejoice.- One thing was certain, the rapid
advance of our armies into the Insurgent States would
obliterate every veatlge of slavery. .
He referred to bis own State as an example, and also to
Missouri., Arkansas had crossed the Rubicon, and
Lousiana was waiting on the shore, while Tennessee
and North Carolina were beginning to feel the pressure
of that public enlightened sentiment on this subject
which demands its extinction in Maryland Delaware
would soon follow in her wake Every great victory
obtained in the field 1b of more value than hundreds of
emancipation proclamations and volumes of confiscation
acts. We were ensaged in the stern realities of war, and
in proportion as we prosecute it vigorously will slavery
be put down fie approved of the amendments to the
Constitution now before the Senate to promote this ob
ject, though he would have the subject postponed until
the next Congress, because he believed. many of the
States now in rebellion would be then represented In
Congress by loyal men, wbo would readily vote for the
tasure- . , - -■
-He would gladly himself vote for these amendments at
any ftime,believing they were demanded by every conside
ration of iuetlce, by the history of the past, and the hopes
of the future, by the blood of the slain, by the genius of
American liberty, by hatred of tyranny, by lore of free*
dom, and by toe voice of the people.
Mr. HOWARD obtained the floor on the bill to pre
vent military interference with elections for one o'clock
tomorrow. The Senate ihen went into Executive, ses

Bills and Resolutions Passed.
Mr. ELIOT, of Massachusetts, from the Committee on
Commerce, reported a bill, which was passed, autho
rizing the Secretary of.the Treasury to stipulate for the

The Raritan and Delaware Bay Railroad..
The House resumed the consideration of the bill de
claring the Raritan and Delaware Bay Railroad to be a
post and military roßd of tbe United fctatea.
Mr. STARR, of New Jersey, briefly opposed it, as vio
lative oUbe laws cf that Stale. .... , . .
Mr. ROGERS, of New Jersey, regarded the legislation
now"propo»ed as an attempt to transfer the jurisdiction
over State railroads to the halls of Congress, and to set
at inaughO-be decision £of the courts There is no ne
cessity.for such legislation, and if there was, no autno-.
rity could be fauna in the Constitution of the United
States to authorize the Reoreientatlvea of other States
to interfere wtth the local railway system of Individual
States. The lobby came hither .to fl.ll theirpockets at
the expeme« f the loyal people of New Jersey by pre
tending that this Is a political question. The stock of
this company was noUwortbltwemy cents on a dollar. He

Providing licpubllcitn Government for Re>
Mr. DAVIS, of Maryland, called np the bill heretofore
reported by him from the Select (JoramUteeon the Rebel
lion. to provide a republican government In State* over
thrown or usurped by rebellion. In Ms argument he
ea'd the constituents of gentlemen would jadge by their
votes on this bill whether they believe the cause of the
rebellion, namely, slavery, shall be rooted out, and
whether they think the pending measure is one Ade
quate and proper to accomplish that purpose. It pro
posed the exercise, not of an arbitrary power, but a
power within a fair construction of that part of the Con
stitution which imposes the duty of.securlng republican
government to the States. Stcesplon was not domestic
Violence within the meanizg of the Constitution, uor
was it invasion There oould be no government within
the United States which repudiates the authority and
Constl’ntion of the country.
When a mllUary gOYornment is suppressed it is time to
think of another. Therefore, tho Cont-tllutlon declares
the right of republican goverumentehallexlat, and what
is opposed to republican government shall be put-down.
WhstiHtfce condition of the lebelliouß Btatei 1 Hot one
of them h»s been brought tinder the undisputed suprema
cy of the United States. Thera is not a State In rebellion
wbo*e soil Is not pressed by rebels in arms. There Is no
portion (f the rebel States where peace Is so far restored
that our military power can be withdrawn for a moment
without li slant insurrection. Thore is no rebel State
from which our troops can be withdrawn and the people
therein trusted. One tenth cannot-control; five-tenths
nowhere exist* willing to control those who are opposed
torepublican government West Virginia-Is the only
State permanently wrung from the rebellion. You have
now hire in the rebellious Slates a free independent and
lor fll population willing to confront the rebels in armi
and to fight In maintenance of the Constitution.
We have heard much about the loyal masses of the
Foutb; what was Ihoir temper formerly and now ? Al
though they had voted against secession, they ac
quiesced in the decision of a doubtful majority. They
wantid a Ui.ion with peace, but when war ensued thoy
preferred disunion It was an extraordinary fact that
In tbe Southern States, where a great revolution was in
augurated against their wishes and votes, not a Bword
was drawn by them. It was a revolution without a
martyr and without a confessor, excepting the immort il
Pettigrew, of South Carolina. "We hearof the people
being txhausted and atxious for peace. True, they
were anxious for peace, but they want peace with inde
pendence. They are not for peace and Union.
TMrewas no responsible authority for saying that
any portion of the rebellious States are willing to ac
cept the terms of peace wlilch our opponents
offer them. Governor Seymour nas said-' that paaca
could be procured on. reasonable terms. It was only
with that gentleman a wish-a good-natured hops.
"What. then, are we to do? We must not erect a Go
vernment on shifting sands, to be supported by our
aims, and for the peoplo to turn against us when we are
driven away or withdraw. It was to erect the throne
of Chaos, and to let- him Rit there and reign supreme..
Three modes had been proposed to settle the
one to prohibit slavety everywhere. This waß right,-»nd
Wtnt to the root of the evil; but it was doubtful whether
three fouri be of the Slaves could be secured to pass such
an amendment to the Constitution. The next was the
amnesty proclamation.r Congress i* not pledged to its
support. tut only the Executive. The soverumeut pro
posfd by Iti* something as unknown to the Constitution
at the rebel Government itself, vihich refuses to recog
nize it If the proclamation is not valid, the oath Is not
of legal sanction'. The oath adds nothing to the validity
and force of that proclamation. It provides that go
vernments shair not contravene the proclamation of
emancipation, which means . that freed men shall
not be re-enslaved, while slaves shall so remain.
It does what the Constitutions of the old State*
do, and recognizes the existence of slavery. There
fore. the Constitutions of tbe old States do not con
travene the proclamation of freedom It was merely *
judicial question.;"The.time had come when we would
not only disarm rebels, but strike the fetters from tie
slaver, and thus remove the caute of the rebellion. This
the bill utder consideration proposed to do. and to give
republican governmentto States which have been over
tbrown or usurped by rebellion.
Mr. BEAMAN, of Michigan, argued that the rebellious
States have ceased to have an existence under the Con
stitution; that when the local government erases
Federal authority may be substituted ; that while he
approved of the amnesty proclamation as a step in the
right direction, it was inadequate to a nafe reaon- •
struciion : 'hat the proclamation did not provide for an
amendment of the Constitutions of the seceded States,
thus leaving the institution of slavery in existence, nor
did ii provide for any amendment of the Constitutions
end laws excluding traitors from the exercise of the
elective franchise The remaining nine tenths might
overthrow the one-tenth,. and thus defeat the Presi
dent’s plan, there being no legally-provided means to
prevent it. The reconstruction ,of these States was iu
the nalurqof admitting new States, bat this belonged to
the legislative and not to'the Executive Department.
He also a.rguedthttther^wascpthlsjiiitlisproclama*
tion incowisieht with ine provisions of the MU, as the
latter was intended to carry out the design of the former.'
differing only in the extent'to which the power should
be exercised, and making the ob.ect to he secured more
effective and permanent. He took the ground that none
of the rebellious States should be readmitted, unless
they provide by an organic law that slavery shall be
forever prohibited, for this was the came of the re
bellion. and there could be no peimanent peace so long
as it was suffered to exist- The Constitution of the
United States thould be amended in this particular, in
order to sive freedom the naiionsl sanction, and to re*
move the eauee of the troubles which now oppress the
conntrv. -
TheHonse, at4o ! «lock,adjourned.
Clu yesterday's report of the proceedings in the House
the following important passage, for some undiscovered
cause, was not supplied by the reporters. Mr. Usman,
of Hew York, speaking on the army appropriation bill,
and having charged that voters had been transported
over Pennsylvania roads at Government expense, Mr.
Stevens replied with an emphatic denial. The rest of
thefebate follows:]
Mr. KELLEY, of Pennsylvania, would say to the.gen
tleman irom Aifcw York (Mr. Kernan) that the Govern
ment had not sent any voters to Philadelphia or the
(state of Pennsylvania. The people knew the great issue
involved in the recent elections. They knew our armies
in the field were either to betustained by the patriots at
borne or overthrown by a wily foe in the rear, and they
did not mean that the rt6ultsof three years of bloody
war should be lost for tbe want of the expenditure of a
few tens of thousands of dollars. They knew the Guber
natorial candidate of the Democratic pat ty. Judge Wood'
ward, who was one of thejudgeß of the Supreme Bench
of Pennsylvania, had expressed his entire sympathy
with the South iu a general disous*ion. in which he siid
the-division of the country should be made on the north
ern side of Pennsylvania
Mr. STILES, of Pennsylvania, wished to know where
such a declaration was made
Mr. KELLEY replied in the Supreme Court room to the
bhr of Chester and Delaware counties.
Mr, STALES asked on what occasion.
Mr. KELLEY. It was in a conversation between the
judge and tbe bar. before the opening of a case, and
while they were writing.
Mr. STiLEb Does not my colleague know the slander
was refuted?
Mt. Kf-LLEY. No
Mr. STILES. Do you not knew that the statement has
been pronounced entirely untrue?
Mr KELLEY called upon hie colleague, who represents
the Delaware district- to sa-y whether-the Messrs Dar
llsetcn did not hear Jndge Woodward make the remark
frMnthe Sup’erne beach.
Mr. BBOOMALL. of Pennsylvania, felt himself bound,
after this appeal, to say what he both AiJgwanJ neard..
His colleague was mistaken in IPwaa not from
tkebtnch nor during tbe argument of a case; it was be*
for* the tri&i list was called- He had never seen the
statement denied.'nor did he think H-would be denied in
tbe State of Pennsylvania. Be held hlmselfresponslble.
Be had proffeieo witnesses. He could not precisely re
member tbe time the conversation took place, bat it was
hefoieany outbreak, and before any State had eeteded.
The common talk was as to what things were going to
be- - The convertation was in the Supreme Court room,
and without secrecy. Judge Woodward said if there
was to be a division between the North and the South,
he wauled tho dividing line to be north of Pennsylvania
Mr. KELLEY repeated his assertion, qualifying it a* far
&r bad been explained by. bis colleague, that Judge
Wootward did make the remark, and no mau who
valued his character for veracity would contradict it.
Be asked the gentleman from New York to indicate the
name of tbe employee who had thus uttered a slander,
and was trying to bring tbe Government into disrepute
among tie loyal people. He cast back his aspersions on
the city and State which he had the honor in part to re
present.
Mr STILES, of Pennsylvania, said it appears the con
versation took place before any State had seceded, and
long before the war. He would say to LU colleague,
this slahder had been repeated all over the Common
wealth, and as often refuted. Did nothis colleague know
if wat denied through the public press, and by Judge
Woodward bimfelr? Be would assert, on undoubted
authority, that a fund for electioneering pirpopes was
raised in Philadelphia, by contractors under the Go
vernment, one of whom paid $2.5(0. The fund was
wholly made up by contractors who are plundering the
Government.
Mr. KBLBEY asked whether his colleague would deny
that Judjre Woodward ever used the langnige.
Mr. bTILES replied that it was Immaterial, for If he
did, it was before hostilities had broken out. Besides,
it was in private conversation, and was not dissented
from by the gentlemen who were present at the time. It
was made as to the contingency of separation
Mr. BROOM ALL remarked that he was mistaken in
saying tie declaration was received without a word of
dissent. More than cue dissented, and with a conside
rable degree of warmth. William Darlington, of West
Cbesteijdid so.
Sir, STILES. Did my colleague join in the publication
of what was said?
Mr. BROOMALL I never published anything except
on the ttump, and I never saw any denial of the truth of
the statement.
Mr. STJLbP. Then you never read the papers!
Mr. MhLLORY asxed the gentleman where Judge
Woodward wanted tledividing line. Might it not be that
he wanted the northern line to be Canada? rLaughter j
fit was *u indefinite sort of conversation ]
Mr. bTiYENS said: Judge Woodward wanted to go
* Ith yon, and you ought to ih&nk him for it
Mr. BROOMALL said: Judge Woodward did not want
the Canada line, and did not whh to be assorted with
Ysnkets. He entertained opinions similar to those of
the gentleman from Kentucky.
Mr. MALLORY replied that he had never expressed a
disrespectful opinion of Yankees, and he defied the gen
tleman to lay his finger on the proof.
Mr BROOMALL was glad to be corrected, and to hear
that the gentleman differed from Judge Woodward.
Mr. HaLLOKY simply denied that he had ever ex
pressed an opinion in concurrence with Judge Wood
ward as to the Yankees. The gentleman had uo right to
impute i uch a feeling to him.
Mr. BROOMALL said that General McClellan and
Judge Wood ward were in political accord !
Ur. MALLORY, replied that If General McClellan
agreed with Judge Woodward that should also be a
reason why he slould agree with him t
Mr. 6TILES said, if this slander was not refuted durir g
the canvass it wssbec&use it was not thought worth de
nying If the Government did not furnish transporta
tion to person* to go home to control the elections, the
amendment could do no harm. He did not know the
truth or faulty of the charge, but he did know that thir
ty ttumand incra votes were cast at that election than
in any previous one.
Mr. GOOGH, of Massachusetts, & member of the Com
mittee on the Conduct of the War. said he had been in
formed by gentlemen having charge of the civilians wbo
went to New Hampshire to vote, that not a single dollar
was paid by the Government for. transportation. Every
civDisn going thither paid Mr own expenses, or if they
were enable to do so, provision was made by their friends.
He understood the gentleman from New York (Mr. Ker
nsn) to charge that the Committee on the Conduct of the
War, composed of gentlemen of both Bicue of the House,
was a white-washing committee.
Mr. KEBHAN explained. He desired to see a com
mittee appointed to investigate, and that he did not want
to tee the subject rent to a white*washing committee.
Be did not refer to the Committee on the Conduct of the
Wrr in a disrespectful sense. . ;
Mr. GOOCH remarked that the gentleman had as much
authority for charging that private transportation was
paid forty the Government, as Iwhad fr>r stigmatizing
the Committee on the Conduct 17 the War as a white
washing committee. He had no authority for either
The gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Stevens) had
proposed to refer the subject to the Committee on the
Conduct of the War, but that committee had not' asked
that the subject be sent to it for investigation.

Tile Mexican Situation—A True Statement*
Ths. Tribune of yesterday bag the following de
spatch from Washington:
ThO Mexicans are exultant tonight. Despatches
received here from Saltillo, up to February 2d, show
that the reports circulated by the French about a
war between Governor Vid&urri, of New Leon, and
the Mexican Government are fabricated. Vidaurri,
with two other Governors, merely suggested to the
President that be had better resign. He refused to
do so. They then withdrew their request, and loy
ally promised to support him with the forces of their
respective States.
The Frtnoh had made no advances in the last
month. On the contrary, they had fallen into deep
troubles with the clergy. Gen. Bazaine was at Gua
dalajara; but he will be obliged to return to the
city of Id exico to settle this clerical difflculty, which,
it was thought, would require the exile of some of
the: bishops, Drags, commander-in-chief of the
Mexican aimy, was about-to attack Guadalajara
with 10,000 men. Gen. Diezwas on the eve of at
tacking Orizaba with 8.000 men, on the road from
Vera Cjuzto Mexico. The general tenor of the news
is very encouraging to the Mexicans here. The hos.
tilityoftte people to French intervention is una
bated. They will hunt Maximilian out of the coun
try if he ever comes.
Beporter of tlie Supreme Court of the
United States.
The telegraph has already announced the appoint
ment by the Supreme Court of the United States, of
our fcllow-towDßman, John William Wallace, Es
quire, as reporter of the decisions of that tribunal..
Tbe office is one of high importance and responsibi
lity, and the selection of this gentleman to fill it,
while it is a gratifying compliment to our own city,
cannot fail to commend itself to the profession at
lftrge, Mr. Wallace has not been known of recent
years in active connection with the bar, having been
a good deal out of tbe country; but his thorough
legal education and ability, and hie general scholar
ship, eminently qualify him for his new duties. The
Supreme Court itself will have in their reporter, the
advantage of a gentleman whose attainments and
writings are as well known in England as ia the
United States of America. His work on ‘ The Re
porters” has received, it is known, the highest ex
pressions of praise in the courts ,of Westminster
Hall. Mr. Wallace goes immediately to Washing
ton on the labors of his office.
The Late Me. John Rubens Sirnjt.—w« have
to ancounceme death of Mr. Smith, which occurred
on Monday evening. He was scene-painter for the
Chestnut-street Theatre, and, without (Joubt, was
one of the best artists, in perspective drawing,
among the numerous theatrical painters in this
country. Before he turned his talents to scenic
painting, he had produced a panorama of the Mis
sissippi river, which, having been extensively ex
hibited, has had thousands of admirers. Mr. Smith
was a native of Boston. He leaves a wife and two
children, and his industry, ability, and prudence had
secured for them a farm near Newark, N. J.
Success in Mercantile Livs.— Many young
men remain for years in an inferior position for
want of some qualification or qualifications which a
few weeks, or. at most, months of well-directed effort
would give them. Especially is this true in mercan
tile life. Forwent of a good hand-writing, or a fair
knowledge of figures, or a knowledge of accounts,
maDy of good natural ability have been compelled
to step aside to give place to those having these
qualifications. These are among the qualifications
a»merchant should have *, but they are not all; yet
he should have these.
Crittenden’s Commercial College, northeast oorner
Of Seventh and Chestnut streets, is designed to aid
young men in acquiring a practical business educa
tion. There the branches mentioned are thoroughly
and practically taught, /rad those who wish to pre
pare for business life have unequalled advantages
for doing so.; As no teaching is done in olaßses,
those whose time is limited may attend at suoh
hours as best suits their convenience. Hundreds
have found the benefits in sfter years of the business
knowledge gained while attending there.
Nbw Firm.— The numerous friends in this city of
the late George F. Womrath will be glad to learn
that hia two sons, Messrs. A. K. & F. X. Womrath,
have formed a copartnership with a view to continu
ing the fur business, so long and successfully carried
on by their father, at 415 and 417 Arch street. As
the business of the house has for some years past
been substantially under the control and direction
of tbe members of the new firm, there will, of course,
he no material change in tbe facilities, resources,

THE CITY.
[fob additional city news, see fourth page.]
Exhibition of the Pennsylvania Hor
tictj-Lturai. Society. —The spring flower exhibi
tion of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society com
menced yesterday morning, at Musical Fund Hall,
and eontinued tili a late hour in the evening. The
display of fruits flowers, and vegetables, although
very creditable and attractive, was not as promising
as was Intended. This was owing to the recent snap
of cold weather, which caused nearly all the delicate
plants to wither as soon as exposed to the severe
weather. Long tables were arranged the whole
lergth of the Hall, and on these were plaeed'the ar
ticles on exhibition, among which were table de
signs, baskets of cut fioweri, bouquets, hanging-bas
kets, stands, and numerous collections
of plants in pots. Among the flowers were roses,
ftucbfcias, cinerarius, calceolarias, primulus, helio
tropes, mignonette, verbenas, violets, lilies, flower
in bulbs, fee., &c. There were, also, collections of
forced vegetables, strawberries, lettuce, radishes,
cucumbers, mushrooms, asparagus, rhubarb, and
cauliflowers.

Praiseworthy Munificence.—A. vory
handsome brown-stone parsonage, recently areoted
on tbe premises adjoining the Berean Baptist
Church, was zeoently presented for the free use
of the greatly-esteemed putor thereof, Rav. James
Cooper. Tbe edifice is built in the- Grecian
style of arohlteotuie, and is as commodious as it
is elegant. Last evening, many‘members of the
congregation participated in a very pleasant' re
union at the new paisonage, at the invitation of
Mr. Cooper. Such warmth of feeling as exists be
tween pastor and congregation!is highly creditable
to both. Tbe new building, we were told, wa* the
gift of Gapt. John P. Levy, whose former munifi
cence to tbe congregation Is the theme or much per
tonal praiiei
Public Entertainments*
Chestnut Street Theatre.— The plays which
Mr, Grover has hitherto produced, have, la the
main, been presented in a style of suoh extraordinary
excellence, that we feel assured the " Octoroon,"
whioh Is to be played for the first time at this estab •
lisbment this week, will keep paae with the great
merit of all the previous representations. The caste
promises well, and the expectations held out by the
management are munificent.
Anon* Street Takatre.—Mr. and Mrs. Barney
'Williams will resume their engagement this eve*
ning, much to the satisfaction of a large portion of
the public. Their absenoe has been occasioned by a
sudden call to the bedside of a slok sister, Nothing,
however, will now prevent the fulfilment of an en
gagement opened with so much weloome and pro
mise, N
Exoblbioix Cmoufl.—Last evening Senorita
Lola Lehman made her debut. She is a graceful,
brilliant, fearless equestrienne. The dash and flaish
with which she executes her prodigious leaps are
very wonderful, and the different features of her
performance are completed with lightning-like ra
pidity.
FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
THE MONEY MARKET.
Philadelphia, March 22,1864.
Mr. Chase is being severely handled by not a few of
oar morning cotemporariei, on the ground that gold hi*
not declined heavily in price since the passage of the
told bill, Now. we do not happen to see why Mr. Chase
ehonld be blamed for this. He nevar promised that gold
should deline. If the gold bill passed. He has said that
the passage of the bill, and the sole of the surplus
according to its provision, "would have a tendency to
prevent speculation, ” and he was right Because outside
operators will avoid a market so liable to depression by
the powera delegated to Mr. Chase, and the probability
Is that when the public entirely desert the gold ex
chargts, that the price of gold will fall of its own weight
and f-.r want of interest in it Gold was selling at 169
@l7O when the bill was agitated in Congress, and .os its
passage seemed a certainty or not so gold 13actuated, and
finally declined to 161 on the day on which the bill did
pass Bere Is a fall of eight per-cent , and grumblers are
not satisfied, notwithstanding this was only t&e moral
effect of the bill becoming a law. How will it be In fact,
and what will be the extent of the moral effect, when
Mr. Chase places five or ten millions in solid coin ou the
market? Jf granting the mere privilege lost eight par
cent, to the speculators, what may not the use of that
privilege ire© them? When this has been done, and
failure to reduce the premium comes with-it. then it
will be time enough to look around to find some human
shoulders on which to place the blame, if, indeed, any
Uto be attached to the failure. These repeated attacks
on an able rervant of the Republic.are mean, mostpal
try, end totally unworthy of the notice of tho man they
seek, to depreciate. His successful management of oar
Government loans, and the unparalleled credit of our
country abroad, must ever refute any quantity of slan
ders, no matter how degrading]}* conceived or villain
ously uttered Our financial condition Is a source of
gratnlation to all loyal men, and* if Mr. Chase is not to
be thanked for it, we should like to know who is. The
question of the means of disposing of the new loans is
being warmly discussed, and we think we perceive In
many oftheße attacks the unbridled spirit of jealousy
rankling among huge fears of a coming disappointment.
Gold was stronger to-day and rose to 164. The money
market was very easy at 6@613 cent.

PLEASING’ ENTERTAINMENT FOR THE BENEFIT
of a Sunday School.—On Thursday evening, the
24th jinst., at Concert Hall, there will be given a
novel and attractive entertainment, in aid of the
Library of the Reformed Dutch Church
Sunday School, (Seventh and Brown streets). It
will consist of a lecture by the Rev. T. De Witt Tal
m&ge. having for its subject “ Getting on Well in
the World,” and choice selections of music by the
Schools. We are quite certain that either one of
these features would more than repay the amount
required to be invested in a ticket, and with the two
combine'd, for a quarter , “ a good thing will be as
good as given away.” Hr. Talmage has demonstra
ted his vigor in treating this class of subjects in his
pulpit, and those who have ever enjoyed the treat
of listening to the singing o! a thoroughly-trained
school.and who know thepiigh standard of excellence
attained by this, will scarcely require urging to visit
Concert Hall to-morrow evening.
The “Ne Plus Ultra” in Sewing Machines.
—There are several thousand persons in this city
alone who need no argument to prove to their en*
tire satisfaction that the best Sewing Machine in
existence is the Grover &. Baker,- sold at 730 Chest
nut street; but the iecent achievements of this cele
brated instrument in the execution of line em
broidery is so great a step in advance of aIL its rivals
that its sale is now in a to outstrip that of
its rivals combined. The magnificent specimens of
this fine work, in the way of richly-embroidered
opera cloaks, displayed in the windows of the
agency, attract universal admiration, and make
every lady, who may be using any other style of
machine, wish that Bhe had a Grover & Baker in
stead. We invite the attention of our readers to
the Stitching Rooms of this company, at 730 Chest
nut street, where all kinds of plain and fancy sew
ing is executed in the beat manner, to order, at short
notice.
Splendid Stock of Dress Trimmings.—Mr.
John M. Finn, at the popular old stand, southeast
corner of .Seventh and Arch streets, haa now in store
a splendid line of fashionable new styles dreaß trim
mings, among which we desire to call special atten
tion to his fine, gimpuir laces, Nottingham laces,
bugle gimps, and bugle buttons. We may also state
in this connection, that Mr. Finn has just opened a
large and desirable invoice of Balmoral skirrß, and a
splendid line of ladies 1 sun umbrellas, to which we
invite the attention of our readers.
“ Thb Flobbnoe Sewing Machine, 11 sold at the
agency of the Company, No.' 630 Chestnut street,
has become familiar to our citizens as a household
word. Among those who have tried it “none name
it but to praise. ll It accomplishes a greater variety
of work than any other, and with less labor. It is
the only machine ever invented that makes four dif
ferent stitches, whichever the operator may deem
most desirable for the woik in hand, and it is the
only Sewing Machine ever offered on the liberal
if It does not give the purchaser entire
satisfaction his money will be returned.
New Photographs by Gutskunst. —Mr. F.
Gutekunst, 704 and 706 Arch street, has published
a very fine cafte de visite or the late Dr. Baehe, and
has also just completed a life-size Photograph of this
distinguished citizen for the College of Pharmacy,
duplicates of which be is prepared to furnish on ap.
plication. His excellent card photograph of Lieut.
General Grant is having a large sale at his counters.
The several fine life-size portraits of prominent
Generals now displayed in Gutekunst’s window are
also attracting much attention.
Messes. C. Somers & Son, the popular Clothiers,
No. 625 Chestnut street, under Jayne’s Hall, have
now ready a superb stock of Spring Clothing, made
up in the most desirable modes, from goods mainly
of their own importation. The facilities of these
gentlemen for getting up the best class garments, at
reasonable prices, are not surpassed in this city, and
we advise all who wish good olothing, either ready
made or ordered to measurement, to visit thit famous
old establishment before purchasing.
March Winds.— We are now having-a rather
wintiy specimen of March, and have no doubt thtffc
its characteristic winds will be the prelude to the
accustomed April showers. Such weather as the
"present week, however, has not diminished the con
sumption of Coal, but rather the reverse. Hence
the tremendous rush all day yesterday at the popular
yaid of W. W. Alter, 935 Noith Ninth street.
The “Prize Medal 11 Shirt, invented by Mr.
John F. Taggart, and sold by Mr. George Grant,
610 Chestnut street, is, without exception, the bask
shirt of the age, in fit, comfort, beauty, and durar
bility. His stock of Geatlemen’s Furnishing
Goods, of his own exclusive manufacture and im
portation, is also the choicest in the city, aud his
pi ices are moderate.
Medicinal Confections —At this season of the
year, when slight colds and hoarseness are preva
lent, much inconvenience and even worse results
might be avoided by carryipg a supply of some
pleasant Medicinal Confections. The place to get
these in greatest excellence and purity, and, in fact,
Confections ol all kinds, it at A. L, Yansant’s, Ninth

Mysterious Movebbnts.— General advances are
talked about, raids are threatened, and the atmos
phere is full or rumors of wars and-warlike doiogs.
We also have some grand local movements that are
Dot without interest. Among these is a gene
ral movement among people of taste, who
are concentrating upon the Brown. Stone Cloth
ing Hall of Rookhill &. Wilson, No*. 603 and 636
Chestnut street, above Sixth, where- they- are get
ting thomseles fitted out with elegant spring gar
ments. '
Aralbna Purnell.— -This young lady, whose
singing, atihe “Delmonioo,” we referred to. a fesv
days sinoe, executed the Brindisi from the opera of
“ Traviata,” “ We’ll Smile, and be Happy, 1 * with
such brilliancy and taste that a repetition was de
manded and'given. The duet from Don Giovanni,
“LaciDaum laMano, 11 was rendered with thrill
ing effect by Aralena Purnell and Ira IX Cliff. It
is not often one so young possesses such power,
compass, end clearness, and she develops a musical
genius of decided ability, and with careful cultiva
tion she will rank with some of the best singers.
